CA ON00093 2015/14 · Fonds · 2015

The fonds consists of a paper prepared by Richard Geoffrey St. John and entitled “The Creation of Operation Proteus (Task Force Jerusalem).” St. John provides a brief overview of the situation in Israel and Palestine, discussing Yassir Arafat, the head of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Operation Proteus’ inception was pushed by St. John’s perception of a fraying relationship between the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and the US armed forces (Canadian-American bilateral military relationship). As of 2015, the Canadian Armed Force (CAF) continued to contribute to the United States Security Coordinator (USSC) in Jerusalem through Operation Proteus.
