-------------------------
Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
All media reported that Israel has denied that Hizbullah's handover
of the remains of Israeli soldiers killed in the Second Lebanon War
was part of a prisoner exchange deal. The Prime Minister's Office
said it was surprised by the handover, which took place after Israel
returned Lebanese spy Nasim Nisr to Lebanon. But some Israeli
sources said Hizbullah's handover and Israel's release of Nisr were
both agreed upon, confidence-building steps that constitute the
first phase of a more extensive swap that would include Hizbullah's
release of abducted IDF soldiers Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser.
Other Israeli sources, however, said the transfer of the remains was
orchestrated to win over public opinion in Lebanon by giving the
impression that it was part of a prisoner exchange. The Jerusalem
Post reported that a Hizbullah official told the newspaper that
Nisr's release and the return of body parts of IDF soldiers are part
of a "framework of an exchange of captives between the resistance in
Lebanon and the Zionist entity."
Leading media quoted PM Ehud Olmert as saying yesterday that Kadima
would not be pressured into changing the election schedule, in a
barb aimed at the Labor Party chairman Ehud Barak who has threatened
to force early elections if Olmert is not ousted. Olmert also
indirectly criticized FM Tzipi Livni. Yesterday major media
reported that Olmert agreed to primaries in Kadima, but that he
asked that the process begin only when he returns from the U.S. next
weekend.
Maariv reported that a majority of cabinet ministers is opposed to a
truce deal with Hamas. Yesterday Yediot reported that senior
officials in Fatah are afraid that a cease-fire will bolster Hamas's
strength in Gaza, weaken Abbas even further, and deepen the
separation between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Over the
weekend media reported that Egyptian police in Sinai have discovered
30 anti-aircraft missiles. They were said to be destined for Gaza.
Yesterday Yediot reported that the Chief of Staff of Olmert's
Bureau, Yoram Turbowicz, left a number of days ago for an
unscheduled visit to Washington in order to prepare the ground for
OlmertQs visit to the United States that is to begin on Monday
night. Turbowicz returned to Israel before dawn on Thursday. One
of the purposes of his trip was to reach an understanding with the
Americans about the security package that Israel is to receive in
order to improve its ability to cope with Iran. Turbowicz was
accompanied by a number of representatives of the Mossad and other
security officials. The trip was also linked to the dramatic
statement about the resumption of peace negotiations between Israel
and Syria, which was received with displeasure by the U.S.
administration. Turbowicz passed on assurances from Olmert that the
Syrian track would not be promoted at the expense of the Palestinian
track.
Ha'aretz reported that PA President Mahmoud Abbas told senior
Israeli officials recently that there were still major gaps between
Israel and the PA in negotiations. Abbas was quoted as saying that
the parties do not appear to be moving toward closure on core
issues, although the gaps were becoming more clearly defined; he
added that more time was needed. The media reported that PM Olmert
and Abbas will meet this afternoon at Olmert's official residence in
Jerusalem ahead of Olmert's visit to Washington this week. Ha'aretz
quoted a senior Israeli negotiator as saying behind closed doors
last week that the parties were still far from the type of
concessions that would lead to a breakthrough. He added that the
Palestinians wanted Israel to first fully recognize Palestinian
rights, and only then would the Palestinians agree to make
compromises. Media reported that Vice PM Haim Ramon is urging PM
Olmert to publicize agreements reached between Israeli and
Palestinian negotiation teams and that he said yesterday in the U.S.
that the differences on final status issues are "minor." His goal
reportedly is to make sure that neither the time nor the efforts
that were invested by the two parties on their way to a final status
arrangement were wasted. Israel Radio quoted senior Palestinian
negotiator Saeb Erekat as saying that Abbas will ask Olmert to
invalidate the tender to build 800 apartments in East Jerusalem.
The radio quoted senior Palestinian official Yasser Abed Rabbo as
saying in an interview with the Palestinian newspaper Al-Hayat
Al-Jadida that Israeli negotiators have not presented maps of
Jerusalem, which proves their lack of seriousness in the matter.
Yesterday Maariv reported that it has learned from Turkish officials
that the foreign ministers of Israel and Syria are due to meet for
the first time at the end of August for a summit meeting that will
give the signal for the start of direct negotiations in the peace
process between the sides. Yesterday Ha'aretz reported that Israeli
diplomatic missions in Europe were issue instructions from Jerusalem
to ask European capitals to exercise "caution" in their contacts
with Damascus, because it has yet to prove the seriousness of its
intent regarding the negotiations.
Ha'aretz reported that yesterday the State Prosecutor's Office told
the High Court of Justice that Israel would not allow two Gaza Strip
students to leave the Strip for the U.S., where they had received
Fulbright scholarships. Despite pressure from the State Department,
Israel maintained that it was allowing people in or out of Gaza for
humanitarian reasons only, which according to international law did
not include studying abroad. The inter-senate committee of Israel's
universities protested the decision in a letter to Defense Minister
Ehud Barak, calling it a blow to freedom of research and suggesting
it might have been a mistake by lower governmental echelons who did
not understand the scholarship's significance. Yesterday The
Jerusalem Post reported that officials in the Prime Minister's
Office expressed "suspires" at State Department criticism of Israel
in the matter. The Jerusalem Post quoted the Knesset's Education
Committee chair Michael Melchior as saying that Israel's policy
contravened international conventions and the values of the Jewish
state.
The Jerusalem Post reported that an IDF soldier was moderately
wounded on an IDF operation in southern Gaza over the weekend. Grad
rockets were launched at the western Negev.
Makor Rishon-Hatzofe reported on suspicions that former Argentine
president Carlos Menem whitewashed the findings of the investigation
of the 1994 blast of the Jewish community building in Buenos Aires.
Several media cited London's Sunday Times as saying that FM Livni
was a Mossad agent in early 1980s when it ran a series of missions
to kill Palestinian terrorists.
Most media marked "Jerusalem Day," which celebrates 41 years of the
reunification of Jerusalem.
The Jerusalem Post reported on a "massive 60th birthday party" in
Washington that was held for Israel yesterday, followed by an AIPAC
conference today.
Yesterday The Jerusalem Post reported that members of Congress are
urging the Bush administration to remove Israel from an intellectual
property watch list the harms its international standing and could
make it harder for the country to join the Organization of Economic
Cooperation and Development.
The media reported that Yad Vashem Council Chairman Yosef (Tommy)
Lapid, a former justice minister, journalist, and outspoken critic
of the ultra-Orthodox religious establishment, died yesterday at
¶77.
The Jerusalem Post quoted a senior IAF officer as saying lat week
that Lockheed Martin should take responsibility for formaldehyde
found in the cockpit of F-16I planes. The officer was quoted as
saying that the company fears that an admission would impact sales.
The Jerusalem Post reported that Bank Hapoalim agreed to buy a
majority stake in New York wealth-management firm NuVerse
Advisors LLC for $34 million to expand the private banking
business.

Summary:
--------
The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized: "It's still
not too late to cancel Olmert's superfluous and damaging trip to
Washington, which is reminiscent of a similar trip by president
Richard Nixon to Israel (and Egypt) in the summer of 1974."
Arab affairs correspondent Jacky Hoogie wrote in the popular,
pluralist Maariv: "The man who always calls Israel the 'enemy' and
promises that the countdown toward its vanishing from the map has
begun -- this same Nasrallah forced on Israel a humanitarian gesture
from him."
Intelligence affairs reporter Ronen Bergman wrote in the
mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot: "A European source told
Yediot Aharonot last night that as part of the dialogue, the U.S.
asked Iran for a confidence building gesture between the sides....
Nasrallah wants to again brand himself a pan-Lebanon leader ...
therefore, today's bottom line is cautious optimism that [abducted
IDF soldiers] Regev and Goldwasser will soon return home."
The ultra-Orthodox Hamodi'a editorialized: "Those who returned the
coffin are not human and didn't intend to carry out a human
gesture."
Block Quotes:

¶I. "A Damaging and Superfluous Trip"
The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized (6/2): "Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert is scheduled to leave tonight for Washington on
a trip that just might be his farewell visit as prime minister to
the American capital.... Wherever he goes, he will be shadowed by
the cloud of suspicions of public and criminal corruption that
hovers above him.... It will be an embarrassing spectacle that will
last several days and add to Israel's disgrace.... This is
especially true of the White House, where Olmert will meet with
President George W. Bush. Olmert's associates have been hinting that
fateful issues - a code name for the Iranian nuclear program - will
be discussed at this meeting. It is possible that the two will
discuss this issue again, but it is hard to believe that there have
been any dramatic changes since their previous meeting in Jerusalem
just a few weeks ago.... By refusing to resign, or at the very least
declare himself incapacitated for the coming months, Olmert is
sentencing his government to a slow death, instead of granting it
the grace of departing in one fell swoop. If it is important to him
how he goes down in Israeli history, he must also consider what this
last chapter will look like. It's still not too late to cancel
Olmert's superfluous and damaging trip to Washington, which is
reminiscent of a similar trip by president Richard Nixon to Israel
(and Egypt) in the summer of 1974, a few weeks before he was forced
to resign in disgrace....The meeting with Bush should be left for
the next prime minister, who will be able to make decisions that
Olmert is currently incapable of making."
II. "When Nasrallah Wants to Give"
Arab affairs correspondent Jacky Hoogie wrote in the popular,
pluralist Maariv (6/2): "Something strange happened to Hassan
Nasrallah yesterday: The polished rhetorician from Beirut, the man
who always calls Israel the 'enemy' and promises that the countdown
toward its vanishing from the map has begun -- this same Nasrallah
forced on Israel a humanitarian gesture from him.... Nasrallah
needed this staged deal today more than ever before. A month after
igniting Lebanon in blood and fire, and subjugating his political
rivals by force, Hizbullah needs points among the public after
showing that its guns, unlike its statements, are also aimed at the
Lebanese themselves. And not only that: Nasrallah too, like Olmert,
is committed to the families of the Lebanese prisoners, headed by
the Kuntar family, which is waging a public campaign for his
release. Furthermore, the Hizbullah leader hopes that even though
this wasn't coordinated with his enemies, his gesture will still
soften IsraelQs position in the negotiations. YesterdayQs absurd
show in Nakura [the western border crossing with Lebanon] attests to
the cynicism in which the negotiations are held and the bitter and
painful reality of the families, in which even body parts become
legal tender. However, more than anything else, it shows that
Nasrallah has no real achievement to sell to his public in this
affair. Had he something valuable in his hands, he would have
prepared his audience for a grand show, and not this minor
exhibition."
III. "Iran Exerted Pressure"
Intelligence affairs reporter Ronen Bergman wrote in the
mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot (6/2): "According to
knowledgeable international sources, two parallel processes led to
progress in the negotiations [with Hizbullah], even though its end
will be under conditions that are less good for Hassan Nasrallah.
The first process is the indirect dialogue between the U.S. and Iran
in the multi-national forum discussing IraqQs future. A European
source told Yediot Aharonot last night that as part of the dialogue,
the U.S. asked Iran for a confidence building gesture between the
sides, and that as a result, Tehran put pressure on Hizbullah to
conclude the affair of the captives. In tandem, says the European
source, Hizbullah has been suffering from relative weakness this
past year, and the latest outbreak of violence in Lebanon should be
seen in this light. The Israeli Mossad and European intelligence
agencies disagree on the question whether the Doha conference that
ended the political crisis in Lebanon and the recent events there is
good or bad for Hizbullah. The Mossad claims that reaching
agreement on the appointment of a new president in Lebanon and
strengthening the Shi'ite bloc is a sign of Hizbullah's gaining in
power, and that these events are of great concern. Their European
colleagues interpret the events in precisely the opposite manner.
The progress in the negotiations should be seen against the backdrop
of Hizbullah's weakening, says the European source. Nasrallah wants
to claim quick achievements for himself, even at the price of
relinquishing some of his first demands. The excessive festivities
that Nasim Nisr received should also be viewed in the same way.
Nasrallah wants to again brand himself a pan-Lebanon leader, someone
who not only looks out for the Shi'ites but also for Druze Samir
Kuntar, and therefore, today's bottom line is cautious optimism that
[abducted IDF soldiers] Regev and Goldwasser will soon return
home."
IV. "Facing the Devoid of Humanity"
The ultra-Orthodox Hamodi'a editorialized (6/2): "The very human act
that occurred yesterday along the Lebanese border -- the return of a
coffin containing body parts that Hizbullah says are of Israeli
soldiers -- should fool no one. Those who returned the coffin are
not human and didn't intend to carry out a human gesture. What they
want is to continue playing on the feelings of bereaved families and
add to their suffering. They did not do it before they learned that
the Israeli side doesn't intend to let them [trade with body parts];
they did it on the very day a Lebanese spy was released from Israeli
jail, in order to make the coffin's return appear as part of a
prisoner exchange."

¶2. Iran:
---------
Summary:
--------
The Director of the Interdisciplinary Center's Global Research in
International Affairs Center, columnist Barry Rubin, wrote in the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post: " Obama is so scary and is
accused of appeasement not because he wants to meet enemies in
person, but because he doesn't want to meet to meet them in
struggle.... That's why Obama is both a dangerously naive amateur,
and a leftist posing as a liberal."

"Broken Engagements"
The Director of the Interdisciplinary Center's Global Research in
International Affairs Center, columnist Barry Rubin, wrote in the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post (6/2): "[Senator Obama]
favors direct presidential diplomacy with Iran, without
preconditions. A normal liberal concept of foreign policy is alien
to him. What he should be saying is: ... 'If Iran gives up its
extremism, we are ready to offer friendship'.... But Obama has never
said anything like this. He has no concept of toughness as a
necessary element in flexibility, nor of deterrence as a
precondition to conciliation. Nor does he indicate that he would be
steadfast if engagement failed. He defines no U.S. preconditions
foe meeting or conditions for agreement. He offers to hear Iran's
grievances, but says nothing about American grievances. Radical
Islamists interpret this strategy as weakness -- of which they will
take full advantage.... Obama is so scary and is accused of
appeasement not because he wants to meet enemies in person, but
because he doesn't want to meet to meet them in struggle.... That's
why Obama is both a dangerously naive amateur, and a leftist posing
as a liberal."
