SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Ampal-American Israel Corporation, Class A Stock, 
$1.00 Par Value) File No. 1-08466

November 8, 2000.
    Ampal-American Israel Corporation (``Company'') has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw 
its Class A Stock, $1,00 par value (``Security''), from listing and 
registration on the American Stock Exchange (``Amex'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On May 1, 2000, the Security became designated for quotation on the 
National Market of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (``Nasdaq National 
Market''), and trading was simultaneously suspended on the Amex. The 
Company hopes that quotation on the Nasdaq National Market will enhance 
the marketability of its Security by providing greater liquidity and 
visibility than it had found through its listing on the Amex.
    The Company has stated that it has complied with the Rules of the 
Amex governing the withdrawal of its Security and that the Amex has 
indicated that it has no objection to such withdrawal.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security from listing and registration on the Amex and shall have no 
effect upon its continuing to be designated for quotation on the Nasdaq 
National Market and registered under Section 12(g) of the Act.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(g).

    Any interested person may, on or before December 1, 2000, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth
