Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
Yediot reported that, during their meeting in Jerusalem on Sunday,
PM Ehud Olmert and PA Chairman [President] Mahmoud Abbas will
discuss the "diplomatic horizon." Yediot reported that Olmert will
not discuss the issues of refugees, borders, or Jerusalem with
Abbas. Hatzofe reported that Hamas has announced that the US aid to
the PA's security apparatus is "dirty money."
Israel Radio quoted Gen. Burhan Hamad, head of the Egyptian military
delegation in Gaza, as saying that he will meet with Israeli
representatives next week to hear their view about the list of
Palestinian prisoners that Hamas wants released in exchange for the
release of abducted IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. The radio quoted
Russian envoy Igor Ivanov, who is Russia's National Security
Adviser, as saying on the Russian Vesty-TV that he is convinced that
the abducted IDF soldiers will be released. The Jerusalem Post
quoted PA National Security Adviser Muhammad Dahlan as saying on
Thursday that Israel and Hamas do not want Abbas to play any role in
the talks over Shalit's release, although Abbas is making an effort
in this direction. Dahlan was also quoted as saying that a prisoner
swap in the near future is unlikely.
Ha'aretz led by quoting Israel security sources as saying on
Thursday that Hamas is supporting Islamic Jihad's rocket attacks
against Israel with behind-the-scenes activities that include arming
the organization's militants with Qassam rockets. The sources were
quoted as saying that Hamas is emerging as the lynchpin of
Palestinian terrorist activities against Israel. The sources added
that, while Hamas is maintaining a front of abiding by the
cease-fire with Israel in the Gaza Strip, it is providing Qassam
rockets to Islamic Jihad militants who are targeting Israeli towns
in the south. Ha'aretz quoted Israeli security sources as saying
that Hamas has adopted a strategy of duality, which will be
maintained under all circumstances, including a situation of a
general cease-fire. On the basis of this strategy, a Palestinian
organization will continue violent activities against Israel
notwithstanding a cease-fire.
Ha'aretz and Israel Radio reported that, for the first time on
Thursday, Hamas extremists openly demonstrated against the
leadership of the group. Ha'aretz wrote that a group of nearly 200
gunmen from the military wing of Hamas and the Executive Force
demonstrated in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip against
the unity government and declared that they will only abide by
orders from the former foreign and interior ministers, Mahmoud Zahar
and Said Siam. Ha'aretz said that another reason for the mutiny
revolves around disputes over the identity of the Palestinian
prisoners on a list provided to Israel recently, for a possible
exchange for Shalit's release. Ha'aretz reported that a meeting
scheduled on Wednesday between Nizar Riyan, a senior figure in the
political leadership of Hamas, and members of the "rebels" ended
with an exchange of gunfire near Riyan's home.
Yediot reported that, using a "do-it-yourself" method, the Council
of Jewish Settlements in the Territories has been smuggling trailers
into settler outposts, explicitly contravening orders by the IDF's
Civil Administration in the territories. The newspaper cited an
assessment that 200 trailers have been assembled so far. The
Jerusalem Post reported that Israeli defense officials told the
newspaper on Thursday that settlers have plans to purchase
additional homes in Hebron which the monetary backing of right-wing
Jewish holidays, to expand the size and property holdings of the
Jewish community in the city. The Jerusalem Post reported that on
Thursday Labor Party leadership candidates Ami Ayalon and Ophir
Pines called on Defense Minister Amir Peretz to remove the party
from Olmert's coalition if the cabinet allows settlers to remain in
a contentious Hebron house.
Hatzofe cited an intelligence report recently received by the
Israeli defense establishment, according to which dozens of
Hizbullah fighters have received rockets from Damascus. The
newspaper said that Hizbullah fighters fetch the weapons directly
from Russian planes and transport them to Lebanon. Israel Radio
reported that Radhika Coomaraswamy, the UN's special representative
for children and armed conflict, has accused Israel of having
violated international law during the Second Lebanon War.
Leading media reported that on Thursday Balad Party Chairman MK Azmi
Bishara confirmed his intention to resign from the Knesset, telling
the Nazareth-based newspaper Hadith A-Nas that he is being
persecuted. Bishara made similar statements to other Arab
newspapers.
Major media (banner in The Jerusalem Post) quoted Monsignor Antonio
Franco, the Vatican's ambassador to Israel, as saying on Thursday
that he will not attend the annual Holocaust Remembrance Day
ceremony at Yad Vashem on Sunday in protest over a caption at the
museum that states that Pope Pius XII did not protest the Nazis''
mass murder of Jews during World War II. Media noted that the
bitter dispute, which threatens to upset the fragile relations
between the Catholic Church and Israel, has erupted as the Vatican
presses ahead with longstanding plans to make Pius a saint.
Ha'aretz reported that, in a confidential internal document, air
traffic controllers at Ben-Gurion Airport warned of serious safety
problems.
Leading media quoted American-Syrian businessman Ibrahim (Abe)
Suleiman as saying on Thursday, before the Knesset's Foreign Affairs
and Defense Committee, that if Israel and Syria begin negotiations,
they can reach agreement within six months and allow Damascus to
disengage from Hizbullah and join the war on terrorism. During the
meeting Suleiman said that "accepting the Israeli-Syrian document of
understandings that was formulated will allow Syria to assist in the
global struggle against terrorism, cut its ties with Hezbollah and
assist the American struggle in Iraq." Suleiman, who resides in
Washington, has close ties with the Syrian leadership, and called on
Israel to hold official talks with Syria. The media reported that a
sharp confrontation erupted during the committee session. Professor
Uzi Arad of the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, an associate of
former PM Binyamin Netanyahu, said that, during a meeting with
Suleiman in Washington about a month ago, he had told him that the
"Assad family does not want peace." Arad also claimed that Suleiman
told him that the only way to make peace with Syria was to "do what
the Turks did." Two issues undermining relations between Syria and
Turkey were resolved when Ankara threatened Damascus with war.
Ha'aretz noted that Arad had initially taken part in the talks
between Suleiman, who has close ties with the Syrian regime, and
Alon Liel, former head of the Foreign Ministry. After three
meetings Arad left the talks, claiming that Liel was agreeing to
misleading concessions. The media said that Suleiman vociferously
rejected Arad's claims. Ha'aretz reported that Olmert has not
allowed Suleiman to visit a Syrian imprisoned in Israel. Maariv
quoted a senior Israeli official as saying that a third party is
holding feelers with Damascus.
Yediot reported that Jordan's King Abdullah II has invited Knesset
Speaker and Acting President of Israel Dalia Itzik for a one-day
visit to Amman next week.
Conservative American journalist Robert Novak was quoted as saying
in an interview with Ha'aretz, during a recent visit to Israel, that
he has "formed the impression that the Palestinians are prepared to
reach an agreement, and that if there were a more courageous
leadership in the United States and in Israel, it would be possible
to make the Arab League's resolution in Riyadh a lever for progress
toward a peace agreement."
Ha'aretz wrote that a review of recently unsealed Senate Foreign
Relations Committee hearings from 1967 afford a candid look at
Washington's views on Israel, the Arabs, and American Jews at the
time of the Six-Day War. In particular, the newspaper addressed the
question of how far America should go in safeguarding Israel's
interests, which Ha'aretz noted has been troubling US lawmakers for
decades.
All media reported that on Thursday the Tel Aviv District Court
sentenced three Israelis -- one of them a Jew -- to 13 years in
prison for driving a Palestinian suicide bomber to the Netanya
shopping mall in 2005, where he carried out an attack in which five
people were killed and 30 injured.
Leading media reported that Israel has refused entry to the Muslim
wife of a Jewish immigrant from Iran. She is currently in custody
in Turkey but could be sent back to Iran within days, where she is
likely to be severely punished.
All media reported on Thursday's suicide bombing in Iraq's
Parliament and the truck bombing that destroyed a bridge over the
Tigris River in Baghdad. A Ha'aretz commentary is headlined:
"Strategic Bombing."
Yediot quoted associates of Finance Minister Abraham Hirchson as
saying that he will soon be resigning. Maariv reported that the
police also suspect Hirchson of tax fraud.
Ha'aretz (English Ed.) reported that far-reaching changes have been
promised at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) to prevent a repeat of
the incident where the Deputy British Ambassador was strip-searched
by security officers on her way to a pre-arranged meeting at the PMO
last month.
Maariv reported that the New York City parade that will commemorate
40 years of the reunification of Jerusalem will feature a model of
the Western Wall.
All media reported that the rate of the US dollar on the Tel Aviv
financial market continued to drop on Thursday (4.066 shekels to a
dollar). Maariv bannered: "Free Fall."
Maariv printed the results of a TNS/Teleseker Polling Institute
survey according to which 72 percent of Israelis support a bill
stating that every candidate for the Knesset will be required to
pledge that he recognizes the existence of Israel as a Jewish state;
18 percent are opposed.

Summary:
--------
Senior columnist Dan Margalit wrote in the popular, pluralist
Maariv: "The Prime Minister finds himself in an unfortunate
negotiating position because his predecessors failed..... Public
opinion will determine the expectation that Israel will eventually
give in."
The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized: "When the
government rejects Arab hands stretched out in peace, the Knesset
cannot make do with deliberations void of political impact."
Diplomatic correspondent Herb Keinon wrote in the conservative,
independent Jerusalem Post (4/13): "US Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice is the moon that governs the tide of Middle East
diplomatic activity. When she visits the region, activity flows;
when she is absent, it ebbs."
Senior columnist and chief defense commentator Zeev Schiff wrote in
Ha'aretz: "It is a serious mistake to think that refraining from a
reaction to the kidnapping of the soldiers in July would have spared
us a war. The war would have arrived later, after greater
incitement on the part of Hizbullah and Iran."

¶I. "Olmert's Catch-22"
Senior columnist Dan Margalit wrote in the popular, pluralist Maariv
(4/13): "At the time he heard the news about the kidnapping of the
soldiers Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser in northern Israel, Ehud
Olmert was sitting with the parents of Gilad Shalit, explaining to
them that he would redeem their son with the release Palestinian
prisoners with blood on their hands. Surrendering to terror was not
on the agenda. This was an absolute principle, even if Olmert
himself were to pay a hefty personal price for this. This was Ehud
No. 1. Ehud No. 2 is now in charge.... The Prime Minister finds
himself in an unfortunate negotiating position because his
predecessors failed..... Public opinion will determine the
expectation that Israel will eventually give in.... Olmert No. 1
knew that willingness to discuss the release of murderers would be a
mistake. Olmert No. 2 is someone completely different."
II. "The Prince of Tides"
Diplomatic correspondent Herb Keinon wrote in the conservative,
independent Jerusalem Post (4/13): "US Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice is the moon that governs the tide of Middle East
diplomatic activity. When she visits the region, activity flows;
when she is absent, it ebbs.... Rice is delaying [her next visit]
until after [the publication of the interim report of the] Winograd
[Commission probing the Second Lebanon War], apparently so she can
gauge Olmert's domestic political position... The Saudis, too, seem
to be waiting to see how things play out domestically in Israel
before making their next move. Following the Riyadh conference, a
decision was made to set up working groups to make contacts -- as
the Bahraini Foreign Minister said -- 'all influential parties,
including Israel, to activate the Arab Peace Initiative'.... It is
doubtful, however, that the super-caution Saudis would take a step
pregnant with such significance in the Arab world id they were not
convinced that their Israeli interlocutor, Olmert, would still be
the prime minister a few months down the line."
III. "Stepping Into the Diplomatic Void"
The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized (4/13): "The
Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee welcomed an unusual
guest yesterday. The committee chairman, MK Tzachi Hanegbi, and MK
Zahava Gal-On, invited Dr. Ibrahim (Abe) Suleiman, an American of
Syrian origin, and Dr. Alon Liel, a former director general at the
Foreign Ministry, to hear about their secret talks and the framework
they formulated for a diplomatic settlement between Israel and
Syria.... If Israel had a proper prime minister, he would not have
allowed an individual with ties to the Syrian leadership to visit
the Knesset (and Yad Vashem) without inviting him to cross the
street to his office so that he could meet with Israeli
decision-makers.... A senior official at the Foreign Ministry said
in response [to a similar rejection by his ministry] that 'there was
no wish to create a false impression, as if officials are holding
negotiations with Suleiman.' According to the official, if Syria
wants to negotiate, there are other ways to do that. What other
'ways' is he talking about? Is he not aware that the Israeli
government has kept its ears closed for the past year to the
repeated calls by President Assad -- publicly and through diplomatic
channels -- for a resumption of peace talks? Parliamentary
activity, however energetic and important it may be, cannot serve as
an alternative to the continued paralysis of the political
leadership. In the situation we find ourselves, when the government
rejects Arab hands stretched out in peace, the Knesset cannot make
do with deliberations void of political impact. All elected
representatives opposed to this will be responsible for the results
of such failure."
IV. "There Should Have Been a Preventive Strike"
Senior columnist and chief defense commentator Zeev Schiff wrote in
Ha'aretz (4/13): "[During the years preceding the Second Lebanon
War, Israel] did not try to stop the transfer of Iranian weapons to
Damascus, a move the Americans implied they would accept with
understanding. Israel never once struck at the convoys transferring
the missiles to Lebanon, and never struck even one Hizbullah missile
warehouse, or even the short-range rockets near the border.
Although Israel prepared itself adequately for long-range missiles
and carried out several painful localized operations, these did not
affect the construction of the threatening system. The result was
that during this period Israeli deterrence against Hizbullah and
Iran increasingly eroded.... The prime minister at the time, Ehud
Barak, rejected the suggestion by chief of staff Shaul Mofaz to take
strong action against Hizbullah after the kidnapping of the three
soldiers. The main reason was to not open a second front. Israel
wanted to focus on the Palestinian front. This was later also the
opinion of Ariel Sharon as prime minister. Sharon certainly did not
want to open a second, broader front against Iran, which had built
the threatening system in Lebanon. Hizbullah and Iran read things
differently. They understood that Israel was incapable of properly
handling combat on two fronts at the same time. Hizbullah acted on
this assumption when it embarked on the kidnapping on July 12,
2006.... It is a serious mistake to think that refraining from a
reaction to the kidnapping of the soldiers in July would have spared
us a war. The war would have arrived later, after greater
incitement on the part of Hizbullah and Iran."

Summary:

The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized:
"Politically, the Democrats would demonstrate willingness to stand
together against a common threat, and inoculate themselves from
accusations that they are 'soft on Iran.'"

"Don't Undermine Sanctions"
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized (4/13):
"We have no comment on the age-old debate between American branches
of government over the right to conduct foreign policy. Yet the
issue is not just a matter of rights, but of wisdom, and of the
impact that particular strategy might have on American
effectiveness in the world. The choice of Pelosi and Lantos to
visit Damascus, for example, and the latter's design to go to Tehran
illustrate what might be called an obsession with the 'importance of
dialogue.' Is Pelosi really claiming that there has been a lack of
dialogue with Iran?.... Europe world be more receptive to a call for
draconian sanctions if it came from both sides of the American
aisle. Politically, the Democrats would demonstrate willingness to
stand together against a common threat, and inoculate themselves
from accusations that they are 'soft on Iran.' Substantively, they
could show that they take their own belief in nonmilitary measures
seriously, and want to put them into practice as strongly as
possible."
