Osnat Dgani, 1925-2026

1000 1) Date: ca. 1960–1965 (tentative) 2) Place: Probably Jerusalem, at a Knesset or other official reception; possibly in the vicinity of the old Knesset at Beit Frumin. 3) People: Osnat Dgani on the right. The man shaking her hand appears to be a visiting Israeli or foreign dignitary, but has not yet been securely identified.	1001 1) Date: Probably 1966 or shortly afterwards; possibly 31 August 1966, the first sitting in the new Knesset building. 2) Place: Plenary chamber of the new Knesset building, Givat Ram, Jerusalem. 3) People: Osnat Dgani is seated above the main floor. If this is indeed the first sitting of 31 August 1966, Prime Minister Levi Eshkol would be the speaker; this identification still needs confirmation from an archival copy of the photograph.	1002 1) Date: June 1982, at the beginning of the First Lebanon War (“Operation Peace for Galilee”). 2) Place: A private apartment in Tel Aviv. 3) People: Osnat Dgani is visible in the background. The other participants have not yet been securely identified. The family/newspaper description calls this a secret meeting concerning the war.
1003 1) Date: 1961; possibly one of the early sessions beginning 11 April 1961. 2) Place: Beit Ha'am, Jerusalem — the Adolf Eichmann trial. 3) People: Adolf Eichmann is in the glass booth. The three judges were Moshe Landau (presiding), Benjamin Halevy and Yitzhak Raveh. The standing prosecutor is very likely Attorney General Gideon Hausner.	1004 1) Date: Most likely 9 July 1959. 2) Place: Julis, Western Galilee, during the first official meeting of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion with the Druze community. 3) People: Osnat Dgani is in the center. The Druze delegation at this event included Sheikh Amin Tarif, Jaber Muadi, Salah Hassan Hanifes, Salman Tarif and other Druze leaders. The individual men in this particular photograph still need to be matched securely to archival captions.	1005 1) Date: Probably 1960s–1970s (very tentative). 2) Place: Probably an official government or parliamentary meeting room, most likely Jerusalem. 3) People: Osnat Dgani is taking the record at the table. The other participants have not yet been securely identified.
1006 1) Date: Probably mid-1950s; a particularly attractive possibility is 18 January 1954. 2) Place: Jerusalem, probably one of the annual Knesset Foundation Day / Tu BiShvat celebrations. The Knesset's fifth-anniversary party on 18 January 1954 is the strongest candidate so far. 3) People: Osnat Dgani is in the foreground, laughing. The surrounding guests have not yet been securely identified.	1007 1) Date: Probably 1960s (tentative). 2) Place: Probably a Knesset committee or official meeting room, Jerusalem. 3) People: Osnat Dgani is at the left, working as stenographer. The officials seated with her have not yet been securely identified.	1008 1) Date: Probably late 1950s or early 1960s; perhaps 1957–1961. 2) Place: An official reception, probably Jerusalem. 3) People: Osnat Dgani is at the left, shaking hands with the central visitor. The visitor is not yet securely identified. Hubert H. Humphrey is one documentary candidate because of his Israeli visits in 1957 and 1961, but this should remain explicitly unconfirmed.

• The strongest entries are 1002–1004. Today's Ynet article explicitly connects the apartment photograph with a secret meeting at the beginning of the 1982 Lebanon War and says Dgani was summoned by taxi to an apartment in Tel Aviv. Source
• The Eichmann trial began at Jerusalem's Beit Ha'am on 11 April 1961; Yad Vashem gives the judicial panel as Moshe Landau, Benjamin Halevy and Yitzhak Raveh, while USHMM confirms Eichmann's glass enclosure and Gideon Hausner's role as chief prosecutor. Source
• For 1004, the evidence is quite unusually good: Ben-Gurion's diary records his helicopter trip to Julis on 9 July 1959, naming Amin Tarif, Salah Hanifes, Jaber Muadi, Salman Tarif and others; the Israeli Film Archive independently catalogs the same 1959 gathering in Julis. Source
• For 1001, the permanent Knesset building was inaugurated on 30 August 1966 and the first plenary sitting there was on 31 August; the Government Press Office has a photograph specifically documenting Levi Eshkol speaking at that first sitting. Source
• For 1007, the Knesset archive documents a large fifth-anniversary/Tu BiShvat party on 18 January 1954, with more than 600 invited guests, which is why I still think that is a good candidate. Source
• 1000, 1005, 1007, and 1008 remain tentative for now. In particular, although Humphrey definitely visited Israel in both 1957 and 1961, that establishes only a plausible avenue for 1008, not the identity of the man in the photograph.
