Mideast
-------------------------
Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
The media highlighted rising tensions between the U.S. and Israel
over West Bank settlements. Yediot bannered: QThe American Threat
and Maariv: QQPressure.Q HaQaretz reported that senior Obama
administration officials told the newspaper that PM Benjamin
Netanyahu found out that the U.S. is serious about a settlement
freeze. The media reported that yesterday Netanyahu told Knesset
members that Israel would continue to build in existing Jewish
enclaves in the occupied territories. "Freezing life would not be
reasonable," Netanyahu was quoted as saying. The media cited The
New York Times as saying that the U.S. might take additional steps
to pressure Israel, including not always vetoing UN Security Council
resolutions opposed by Israel, a report denied by Deputy State
Department Spokesman Robert Wood. Maariv quoted a senior Israeli
diplomatic source as saying that that the U.S. administrationQs
moves could make Netanyahu face a reality in which he would have to
decide between new elections or including Tzipi LivniQs Kadima in
the government.
Israel Radio quoted President Obama as saying yesterday in an
interview with National Public Radio, in which he reiterated his
adherence to the Qtwo-stateQ principle and his opposition to
settlement expansion: "Part of being a good friend is being honest.
And I think there have been times where we are not as honest as we
should be about the fact that the current direction, the current
trajectory, in the region is profoundly negative, not only for
Israeli interests but also U.S. interests. And that's part of a
new dialogue that I'd like to see encouraged in the region." The
President was also quoted as saying: QOver time, in the absence of
peace with Palestinians, Israel will continue to be threatened
militarily and will have enormous problems on its borders.Q Yediot
expects DM Ehud Barak to propose to senior U.S. administration
officials today that Israel stop construction in isolated
settlements. Yediot reported that Barak told special envoy George
Mitchell in New York: QAvoid a confrontation and do not worsen the
tone with Netanyahu.
Leading media quoted GOI spokesmen as saying that previous
administrations made promises to Israel. The leading Internet news
service Ynet reported that a GOI official told it that in the case
of the settlements, the Israeli government was maintaining policies
set by its predecessors. "It's the Americans who have changed their
policies," he was quoted as saying. He said that Israel would
stress three key points to the U.S. administration in light of the
dispute between the two countries. The first, he said, was the
public support for the expansion of settlements due to Qnatural
growthQ. He said the Labor Party also supported this move. QThe
second is the Israeli government is continuing the policies of
previous governments and honoring the obligations they took upon
themselves, the official said. The third is that the U.S.
Government is not honoring the commitments of previous
administrations, such as George BushQs obligation to allow the
continuing construction in the settlements.
HaQaretz cited the United StatesQ anger over the Interior Ministry's
anticipated approval of a plan to build a new hotel in East
Jerusalem, just 100 meters from the Old City's walls. The plan,
which would see the demolition of a wholesale market and
kindergarten, is slated to be approved today. The newspaper
reported that in conversations with Israeli officials, senior
American officials have made it clear that they want Israel to
freeze all plans for expanding the Jewish presence in East
Jerusalem, and especially in the Holy Basin -- the area adjacent to
the Old City. The regional planning and building committee for
Jerusalem will discuss the plan today.
The media reported that yesterday, as a protest against the planned
evacuation of outposts, settlers stoned Palestinians and set fire to
Palestinian fields. Police arrested MK Michael Ben-Ari (National
Union). Disturbances also took place at the main Western entrance
to Jerusalem.
Major media reported that yesterday Brig. Gen. Yossi Baidatz, head
of IDF IntelligenceQs research division, warned the KnessetQs
Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that, by the end of the
summer, Tehran could have enough low-grade uranium to build a
nuclear weapon.
All media reported that yesterday Attorney General Menachem Mazuz
criticized Avigdor Lieberman's appointment as foreign minister,
saying that the Yisrael Beiteinu chairman would never have been
given this job in a "properly run country." Police have said
recently that they believe it will be possible to indict Lieberman
on several serious charges, including taking bribes, money
laundering and obstruction of justice. Mazuz made his remark at the
Israel Bar Association's annual Eilat conference.
Mossad veteran Rami Igra told media yesterday that the appointment
of Haggai Hadas to head the Gilad Shalit dossier may suggest future
efforts to free the captive soldier will proceed at the operational
level, with less of a focus on diplomacy.
HaQaretz reported that over the past few months the right-wing
association Elad, which promotes settlement in East Jerusalem, has
held weekend seminars for soldiers and officers, including tours and
propaganda about Jewish settlement in Palestinian areas.
HaQaretz quoted Lebanese security sources as saying on Sunday that a
Lebanese army colonel and a senior retired customs officer have been
detained on suspicion of spying for Israel. Lebanese authorities
were quoted as saying that the army officer is the second colonel
arrested in less than a week in an espionage investigation that has
produced charges against at least 21 suspects and several
confessions. Israel has not commented on the arrests.
The Jerusalem Post quoted DM Barak as saying in New York yesterday
that Israel would not cooperate with a UN probe into alleged war
crimes by both the IDF and Hamas during Operation Cast Lead earlier
this year. Barak told reporters that he thought that investigators
would not be objective.
Leading media assessed that the collapse of General Motors would
have a negative impact on Israeli automotive companies.
HaQaretz reported that Likud is hoping to prevent Kadima Knesset
Member Roni Bar-On from filling the opposition slot in the Knesset
Judges Appointments Committee, instead pushing for right-wing
Knesset Member Uri Ariel of the National Union. The move comes after
Netanyahu gave Yisrael Beiteinu control over the justice and public
security ministries as well as the Knesset's Constitution, Law and
Justice Committee, and could affect the composition of the High
Court of Justice. Ariel is a staunch opponent of Supreme Court
President Dorit Beinisch and to what is known as "judiciary
activism."
Yediot mentioned the favorable impression that Israel made on 80
visiting Harvard Business School students.
The media reported that the American singer Madonna will perform in
Tel Aviv on September 1. Tickets will sell for 500-2,500 shekels
(around $125-600).

¶I. "WeQve Lost Our Spark"
Senior columnist and longtime dove Yoel Marcus wrote in the
independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz (6/2): QU.S. governments were ...
pro-Arab because of the country's dependence on oil. But over time
they came to see Israel as a strategic asset -- which then gradually
turned into a strategic burden because of its settlements, its
policy of annexation and its opposition to the principle of two
states for two peoples. We went through difficult periods under
presidents George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter, but during the good
periods we managed to create the impression that it was our
adversaries who were the rejectionists. Now the wheel has turned,
and Bibi's rightist government is the one viewed as rejectionist.
II. "The Games Are Over"
Military correspondent Alex Fishman wrote in the mass-circulation,
pluralist Yediot Aharonot (6/2): QThe Defense Minister's departure
for Washington two days ago is not just an important state visit,
but a crucial one. Ehud Barak left to minimize the damage and to
halt the erosion and he is counting on his personal relationship
with many top American officials, mainly in the defense sphere.
People like Defense Secretary Robert Gates, National Security
Adviser James Jones, special envoy to the Middle East George
Mitchell, and others. The Americans, for their part, view Barak as
the moderate in the government -- the man who represents Israel's
commitment to Qtwo states for two peoples,Q the man directly
responsible for reinstating order in the territories, for freezing
construction and for removing illegal outposts.... The Americans
expect of Barak not only straight talk, but action. They have no
interest in more empty promises.... In a recent meeting between
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Jewish leaders in
Washington, he said: My name is Rahm Yisrael Emanuel. I served as a
volunteer in the IDF. My father is a native Israeli. We will never
give up on Israel's security. But you have to listen well and to
understand that this story of the settlements has to stop. You
can't play games any more.
III. "Netanyahu Has a Month to Decide"
Diplomatic correspondent Ben Caspit wrote on page one of the
popular, pluralist Maariv (6/2): Q[Israeli-Arab] Knesset Member
Ahmed Tibi, one of the most knowledgeable people about the peace
process (since it began in 1992), told Maariv yesterday in response
to a question that the American demands of Netanyahu had a deadline.
QBarack Obama,Q said Tibi, Qpresented Netanyahu with a target date
for answering two clear and firm questions: the demand for a
complete settlement freeze and acceptance of the two-state
principle. That date is the beginning of July. In other words, he
has a month from now.Q If Tibi is right, and there are clear signs
that he is, the Americans intend to launch their grand plan in the
course of this summer. They are working on a tight schedule.
General David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. Army CENTCOM, who is
responsible for the activity and wellbeing of American soldiers in
20 countries in the region, most of which are Muslim, made an
astounding comment in the course of an interview to Al-Hayat this
week: The resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will make
things far easier for me and will greatly improve the security of
U.S. troops in the region, said Petraeus. In other words: The
Americans are determined to promote this issue -- either with
Netanyahu or without him. Now, the only thing that he needs to do is
to decide whether he wants to prove that heQs a man, make history,
and enter a collision course with the largest superpower in the
world -- which is also IsraelQs only strategic ally -- or to stay
alive.
IV. "We May Build, with a Proviso"
Dov Weisglass, who was former prime minister Ariel Sharon's top
diplomatic advisor, wrote in Yediot Aharonot (6/2): QSince the
mid-nineties Israel has pledged not to allow the establishment of
new settlements in Judea, Samaria [i.e. the West Bank], but claimed
it was entitled to develop settlements based on Qnatural growthQ.
Until 2002 the Israeli claim was based on QunderstandingsQ reached
between then Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and Secretary of State
Colin Powell. However, the Americans strenuously denied their
existence.... In the [Roadmap] clause regarding Qsettlements,
Israel was required, Qin accordance with the Mitchell Report,Q to
Qfreeze all settlement activity, including natural growth in
settlements.Q Israel objected to the phrase, which was deleted from
the counter-draft that was presented to the administration.... The
United States is committed to the Roadmap and I donQt believe it
deviated from it on its own initiative.... It is the Israeli
government that recently raised doubts regarding its intention to
abide by the Roadmap; thus, one can understand the American version,
which states that without removing the commitments inherent in the
Roadmap, Israel is not entitled to demand the QrightQ to build
within existing settlements. The quicker Israel confirms its
adherence to the Roadmap, the speedier it will be able to promote
the possibility of ending the dispute [with the U.S.].
¶V. QSo WhatQs Your Solution?
Former Ambassador to the U.S., former Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and former Minister of Defense Moshe Arens wrote in Ha'aretz (6/2):
QLet's agree on a few axioms that any proposed [diplomatic] solution
should not violate. Axiom No. 1. Jews have a right to settle and
live in the Land of Israel.... Axiom no. 2. There is a limit to the
size of the minority population that can be included within the
borders of the State of Israel without endangering the Jewish
state's ethnic coherence.... Axiom no. 3. No populated region on
this earth will remain permanently without some national
sovereignty.... Axiom no. 4. Jordan is a Palestinian state.... So
what are the possible alternative solutions that do not violate
these axioms? Here are four. 1. Judea, Samaria [i.e. the West
Bank], and Gaza become a Palestinian state -- the Qtwo-state
solution. 2. Judea and Samaria become a Palestinian state, and the
Gaza Strip becomes another Palestinian state -- the Qthree-state
solution. 3. Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip are incorporated
into Jordan. 4. Judea and Samaria are incorporated into Jordan,
and the Gaza Strip is incorporated into Egypt.... The withdrawal of
the IDF from Judea and Samaria would turn the area, much of it next
to Israel's major cities, into bases for acts of terror against
Israel's civilian population, whether by suicide bombers or rockets.
Inevitably the IDF would have to respond against the areas from
which these acts of terror originated. In other words, neither the
Qtwo-stateQ nor Qthree-stateQ solution can be implemented before
Palestinian terrorism has been suppressed.
VI. QWorse than a Crisis
Editor-in-Chief Amnon Lord wrote in the nationalist, Orthodox Makor
Rishon-Hatzofe (6/2): QThe developments of the past few days in the
relations between Israel and the United States cannot be described
as a crisis. A diplomatic and media assault against Israel is not a
crisis. It is an assault that was launched by the Obama
administration, without any Israeli provocation. It is worse than a
crisis.... The Americans' insistence on demanding of Israel a
comprehensive freeze of settlement including natural growth is not
about the issue itself but, rather, its intention is to create an
atmosphere against Israel in the international arena.... Taking a
similar tactic, Barack Obama's staff members have been attacking
Benjamin Netanyahu personally. The displeasure that they have taken
pains to display for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in addition
to insulting comments, are geared to foster that very same
international anti-Israel effect. It is also a form of making
Israel's political blood forfeit, in advance of making its literal
blood forfeit, paving the way to terrorism and understanding the
Palestinians' motives for murder. Worst of all, the personal
attacks on Netanyahu impede Netanyahu's efforts to neutralize the
Iranian nuclear threat. Obama and his aides know that personal
attacks on Netanyahu will be received well in many quarters in
Israel. They have the capacity to manipulate the Israeli media
against the government and its prime minister's policies. The
opposition and the media become members of the anti-Israel coalition
that is being formed by Barack Obama.
VII. QWelcome to Our Reality
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized (6/2):
QThough Muslim extremists struck in Spain, Britain and the United
States, the sense that any further danger looms is not widespread.
That's why no one undergoes a security check to enter a supermarket,
department store or cinema. And why armed guards are not posted
outside schools. We Israelis live in a very different reality [as
the country holds a week-long nationwide emergency drill]....
Efforts to reach an accommodation with a violently fragmented
Palestinian polity have thus far proven fruitless. The Qmoderates
appear no less unyielding than the fanatics. We caught the Syrians,
to our north, building a clandestine nuclear facility under North
Korean tutelage. They make no secret about hosting Hamas's
politburo, pressuring it to resist even a tactical timeout in its
anti-Israel belligerency. Hizbullah dominates Lebanese affairs and
provides Iran with shock-troops along our border. Then there is
Iran, which may have enriched enough uranium to manufacture a
nuclear bomb by year's end. Even as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatens
our obliteration, he insists that the Nazis did not systematically
destroy European Jewry. Yet he is feted at UN forums, while
Europeans shamelessly subsidize trade with his country. That is our
reality.
