Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
All media bannered with greetings and welcome to President Obama on
his historic inauguration day.
Starting at 17:00 local time, all electronic media will carry live
transmission of the ceremony and the speech of the President, along
with stories coming out from their Washington-based correspondents
as well as panels discussing the new administration.
All media report that the security establishment fears that the
center (Gush Dan) of Israel might soon fall within the range of
Hamas rockets. Maariv reported that Hamas and Iran are now trying
to smuggle into Gaza long-range Farj rockets, which can reach 75
kilometers.
Maariv reported that today is the last chance for President Bush to
pardon convicted spy Jonathan Pollard.
¶1. Mideast
Summary:
--------
Veteran journalist Eitan Haber wrote on page one of the
mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot: "[And] we,in our little
corner, in the Middle East, in Israel, are tensely waiting to see
whether you will continue the tradition of American presidents of
the past number of generations and will view us as allies, as your
forward aircraft carrier in this bloody part of the world; will you
will bequeath to us from the great abundance of America or will we
be for you, heaven forbid, a nation like all other nations? ..."
Independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized: " Obama, whose
rise to power makes him the hope of many people around the world,
would do well to personally, and quickly, renew the effort to
achieve a stable peace that reconciles Israel with Syria and the
Palestinians. Obama's grace period won't last long; would that he
use it for the benefit of the Middle East."
Shlomo Avineri, former FM's DG, wrote in independent, left-leaning,
Ha'aretz (1/20): He needs to invest every effort in finding ways to
tone down the conflict and creating mechanisms to build mutual
trust. ..The Palestinians need assistance in building their
institutions. The Israeli presence in the West Bank must be
drastically reduced and the expansion of settlements prevented. Gaza
needs to be rebuilt - but without rebuilding Hamas' regime there.
Well-known Israeli author David Grossman bannered on page one of the
independent' left-leaning Ha'aretz: "We must speak [to
thePalestinians], because what has happened in the Gaza Strip over
the last few weeks sets up a mirror in which we in Israel see the
reflection of our own face - a face that, if we were looking in from
the outside or saw it on another people - would leave us aghast. We
would see that our victory is not a genuine victory, and that the
war in Gaza has not healed the spot that so badly needs a cure, but
only further exposed the tragic and never-ending mistakes we have
made in navigating our way
Conservative, independent, The Jerusalem Post editorialized:
"so long as Hamas remains an unrepentant enemy of peace; so long as
it is full-throttle committed to violence; so long as it refuses to
recognize the right of the Jewish people to a homeland anywhere; and
so long as it won't abide by the Palestinians' international
commitments, Hamas can never legitimately be part of the solution in
Gaza."
David Horovitz , Editor-in-Chief of the conservative, independent
Jerusalem Post, analyzed "Israel can expect to find the incoming
Obama administration unsympathetic, as its predecessors have been,
to any expansion of settlements, and probably more critical than was
the Bush administration as regards broken Israeli government
promises to dismantle illegal outposts..."
Russian-language conservative daily Vesty reported: "GOI made a gift
[dedicated] to the inauguration day.... Most probably there will be
no Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip at the time [of inauguration]
and Obama won't have to start his presidential term dealing with the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

¶I. Hail to the Chief; Wishing You Good Luck , Mr. President
Veteran journalist Eitan Haber wrote in the mass-circulation,
pluralist Yediot Aharonot (1/20): "-- Once you enter the Oval Office
in the White House this evening, you won't be the private president
of 300 million Americans any more. You will be the president of the
free world, and billions will turn their eyes to you from today
onward in prayer and in hope.... The entire world will hearken to
your every word, whisper and winks, and will want to see you as the
savior and redeemer of all the troubles of the world... And we, in
our little corner, in the Middle East, in Israel, are tensely
waiting to see whether you will continue the tradition of American
presidents of the past number of generations and will view us as
allies, as your forward aircraft carrier in this bloody part of the
world; will you will bequeath to us from the great abundance of
America or will we be for you, heaven forbid, a nation like all
other nations? ..."
II. "With the power of hope"
Independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized (1/20): "You don't
have to be an American to get excited by the swearing-in of Barack
Obama as president of the United States today.... It's a great
moment for Obama, but even greater for the American people, who are
once again teaching humanity a lesson on the ability to adapt,
change and ascend....The Israeli-Arab conflict will be one of the
Obama administration's many challenges. Obama, whose rise to power
makes him the hope of many people around the world, would do well to
personally, and quickly, renew the effort to achieve a stable peace
that reconciles Israel with Syria and the Palestinians. Obama's
grace period won't last long; would that he use it for the benefit
of the Middle East.
III. "Can Obama do it?"
Shlomo Avineri, former FM's DG, wrote in independent, left-leaning,
Ha'aretz (1/20):
It's hard to count the proposals made to Barack Obama on the
appropriate way to deal with the Israeli-Arab conflict.... All the
proposal-makers focus on how to reach a final peace agreement
between Israel and the Palestinians, and all of them believe that
deeper, more determined involvement by the United States will bring
that about. In discussing past failures in U.S. policy on the issue,
the proposal-makers always offer explanations that pertain to the
details of each case, as one would expect from diplomats who can't
see the forest for the trees. None of them raises the core question
- whether the United States is at all capable of resolving
complicated national conflicts, or whether the failures we've seen
stem from a single, essential issue. ... It merits mentioning that
in the Middle East, the United States is capable of achieving
success only in two scenarios. When there is a war, it can end it or
temper it. When the parties reach an agreement on their own but
still have a few issues that need resolving - as during the visit by
Egyptian president Anwar Sadat or when negotiating the Oslo
Accords...In the absence of these two scenarios, and lacking the
political will of at least one party, the United States has
invariably failed, as could be observed from the Madrid Conference
to the Camp David Summit in 2000, the road map and Annapolis - all
highly photogenic events that failed to spawn a peace accord. In all
this diplomatic verbosity, the gulf between the two parties is too
wide on core issues like Jerusalem, refugees and borders. The
Palestinians' inability to form a representative national entity and
resolve the differences between Fatah and Hamas through nonviolent
means renders negotiations with Israel meaningless. This is the
reality with which Obama must contend, and with caution. He needs to
invest every effort in finding ways to tone down the conflict and
creating mechanisms to build mutual trust. ..The Palestinians need
assistance in building their institutions. The Israeli presence in
the West Bank must be drastically reduced and the expansion of
settlements prevented. Gaza needs to be rebuilt - but without
rebuilding Hamas' regime there. Should Obama attempt to initiate a
dramatic move such as the 2000 Camp David Summit, he will receive
some momentary glory and flattering media coverage, but he is
destined to fail. He would do better to try to attain what is
attainable.
IV. " Israel's success in Gaza only proves it is strong, not right"
Well-known Israeli author David Grossman bannered on page one of the
independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz (1/20): "Like the pairs of foxes
in the biblical story of Samson, tied together by their tails, a
flaming torch between them, so Israel and the Palestinians - despite
the imbalance of power - drag each other along.... we should be
paying heed to another voice - the one that says the Israel Defense
Forces' successes in the confrontation with Hamas do not prove that
it was right to embark on such a massive campaign.... Obviously, the
Palestinians cannot be let off the hook for their crimes and
mistakes.....We cannot pardon the Palestinians or treat them
forgivingly, as if it were obvious that whenever they feel put upon,
violence will always be their sole response, the one they embrace
almost automatically. Yet even when the Palestinians act with
indiscriminate violence, when they use suicide bombings and Qassam
rocket fire, Israel is stronger than them... One day, after all, we
will seek to heal the wounds we inflict today. How will that day
ever come if we do not understand that our military might cannot be
the primary instrument for carving out a path for ourselves in this
region? How will that day ever come if we fail to comprehend just
how graveness is the responsibility that lies on our shoulders by
dint of our complex and fateful relations, both past and future,
with the Palestinians in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and the
Galilee? When the clouds of colored smoke dissipate from the
politicians' claims of sweeping and decisive victory; when we
discover the actual achievements of this operation, and how far they
are from what we really need in order to live a normal life here;
when we finally admit that a whole country eagerly hypnotized
itself, because it needed so badly to believe that Gaza would cure
it of Lebanon-itis - maybe then we will settle accounts with those
who, time after time, incite the Israeli public, whipping them into
a frenzy of arrogance and a euphoria of power. Those who have taught
us over the years to scoff at belief in peace and any hope for
change in our relations with the Arabs. Those who have convinced us
that the Arabs understand only force, and therefore that is the only
language we can use in our dealings with them. We must speak to the
Palestinians: That is the most important conclusion from the most
recent round of bloodshed. We must speak also to those who do not
recognize our right to exist here.... We must speak to them, and
create, within this closed-off, deaf reality, the very possibility
for speech....We must speak to them as part of a calculated
strategy.... We must speak out of understanding, born as we look out
at the horrible devastation, as we grasp that the harm we are
capable of inflicting on each other, each people in its own way...We
must speak, because what has happened in the Gaza Strip over the
last few weeks sets up a mirror in which we in Israel see the
reflection of our own face - a face that, if we were looking in from
the outside or saw it on another people - would leave us aghast. We
would see that our victory is not a genuine victory, and that the
war in Gaza has not healed the spot that so badly needs a cure, but
only further exposed the tragic and never-ending mistakes we have
made in navigating our way.
¶V. "The True Test"
Conservative, independent, The Jerusalem Post editorialized (1/20):
"By the time Barack Obama is sworn in today as America's 44th
president, every Israeli soldier, save for Gilad Schalit, will
likely be out of Gaza. And as President Obama starts his first full
day at the White House tomorrow, Hamas will already be setting the
stage for the next conflagration.... Ordinary Gazans, much as they
are wont to identify with Hamas's delusional sense of triumph, will
find their gratification tempered by coming face-to-face with the
price paid for Hamas's "achievements"... WE WILL know soon enough
whether Operation Cast Lead achieved its purpose. The test is not
whether there is "quiet" in the south while the terrorist
organizations take a break. The true test is whether Hamas is
allowed to realize its "holy" plan to rearm. Using all its
intelligence capabilities, the IDF needs to intervene the moment
Gaza's workshops resume producing Kassams, the instant its
laboratories renew the production of explosives, the minute tunnels
under the Philadelphi Corridor are refurbished for the smuggling of
weapons and arms supplies. Failure to act without delay will return
Israel to the intolerable state of affairs that prevailed during the
eight years prior to December 27, 2008....Be that as it may, beyond
doing the obvious - making certain that those who brought
devastation upon Gaza aren't given the wherewithal to do so again by
rearming - Europe and the international community need to restrain
themselves and not turn Hamas into the project manager and chief
financial officer for the reconstruction of the Strip... Indeed, so
long as Hamas remains an unrepentant enemy of peace; so long as it
is full-throttle committed to violence; so long as it refuses to
recognize the right of the Jewish people to a homeland anywhere; and
so long as it won't abide by the Palestinians' international
commitments, Hamas can never legitimately be part of the solution in
Gaza. Not even under the fig leaf of a Palestinian unity
government."
VI. "No to Hamas, but no, too, to an expanded Israel"
David Horovitz , Editor-in-Chief of the conservative, independent
Jerusalem Post, analyzed (1/20):"[And] Welcome...,to Barack Obama,
the agent of change who, according to his senior adviser David
Axelrod, "intends to engage early and aggressively with diplomacy
all over the world... I think you'll see him act quickly."
Conventional wisdom has it that Israel chose to engage aggressively
with Hamas over the past three weeks because it knew, give or take
the odd United Nations Security Council abstention and diplomatic
spat, that the Bush administration would fundamentally support its
right to protect its civilians from rocket attack even at the cost
of widespread damage to Gaza. Conventional wisdom further has it
that Israel is intent on getting its troops back out of Gaza by
Tuesday's inauguration, provided the new fragile truce hasn't been
too rudely shattered by rocket fire, so that Israel-Hamas is not the
most pressing item on the incoming president's foreign policy hot
list....Israel's worry, according to such wisdom, was that Obama,
who has said he was "deeply concerned" about the loss of civilian
life in Gaza and Israel, might not fully back the resort to force
and might even break international ranks by opening a dialogue with
Hamas. After all, this is the man who has said he will depart from
Bush's policies and entertain tough diplomacy with Iran and Syria.
Within the Obama camp itself, however, there is an adamant
insistence that the new president has no intention of legitimizing
Hamas... But if Israeli anxiety seems misplaced as regards Obama's
empathy with Israel over the Kassams and his antipathy to Hamas in
Gaza, his attitude to the future of the West Bank may indeed prove
to pose concerns and challenges, and not only for the most strident
and uncompromising supporters of the settlement enterprise...To
listen to Nicolas Sarkozy in Jerusalem on Sunday night, this kind of
Israeli-Palestinian deal, indeed a wider regional "great final peace
plan," is there for the taking, if only Israel would "run the risk
of achieving peace." It is unlikely that the pragmatic Obama is as
ready as the French president to ignore such inconvenient realities
as Hamas's enduring dominance of Gaza, its vast support among
ordinary Gazan and West Bank Palestinians, and the failure to date
of even the relatively moderate Palestinian Authority headed by
Mahmoud Abbas to publicly espouse viable positions for a two-state
solution....Nevertheless, Europe will be pushing for a final deal
and urging increased American pressure for compromise on both Israel
and the PA. Many prominent European leaders, moreover, will be
arguing to the new US administration that the shared interest in
thwarting Iran's nuclear drive requires progress on the
Israeli-Palestinian track - to keep relatively moderate Arab states
on board, and to deny Iranian-backed Islamists like Hamas and
Hizbullah a key recruiting tool... In terms of the contours of a
permanent accord, Obama, in the brief interview he gave the Post
when he visited Israel last July, showed an absence of any
Bush-style instinctive sympathy for an expanded Israel.On
settlements, he said "Israel should abide by previous agreements and
commitments that have been made, and aggressive settlement
construction would seem to violate the spirit at least, if not the
letter, of agreements that have been made previously... There are
those who would argue that the more settlements there are, the more
Israel has to invest in protecting those settlements and the more
tensions arise that may undermine Israel's long-term security."...
Israel can expect to find the incoming Obama administration
unsympathetic, as its predecessors have been, to any expansion of
settlements, and probably more critical than was the Bush
administration as regards broken Israeli government promises to
dismantle illegal outposts....As much as the European leaders'
Jerusalem gathering on Sunday was a stand-by-Israel photo op, it was
also an unprecedentedly vigorous "let's push for a deal" plea to the
new America of Barack Obama.... We are about to find out...."
VII. "Waiting for the President"
Russian-language conservative daily Vesty reported (1/20): "Today
the inauguration of President-Elect Barack Obama will take place.
He will swear in his faith to the interests of the country and
American people on the Bible that was used at the inauguration
ceremony of the 16th US President Abraham Lincoln. ... Many world
leaders already greeted Obama on his inauguration. GOI made a gift
[dedicated] to the inauguration day as well. Most probably there
will be no Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip at the time [of
inauguration] and Obama won't have to start his presidential term
dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict... at least, not from
the first day of his presence in the White House."
