Welcome to The Leon H. Charney Digital Center

Advising to Senator Vance Hartke during the 1970’s enabled Leon to establish contacts with American and Israeli statesmen. His first notable political act was to save 1,000 “Refuseniks”. His great experience of Middle East politics made him the right man to counsel President Jimmy Carter during the Camp David peace talks of 1978.
