Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
Israel Radio reported that yesterday, at the daily State Department
briefing, Assistant Secretary of State Philip Crowley reiterated the
U.S. view that Israeli construction in East Jerusalem Qis the type
of issue that should be subject to permanent status negotiations,
and that we are concerned that unilateral actions taken by the
Israelis or the Palestinians cannot prejudge the outcome of these
negotiations.Q HaQaretz reported that PM Benjamin Netanyahu has
instructed his aides not to comment on the tense relations between
Israel and the U.S. over the issue, in a bid to defuse the
situation. The media report that the U.S. is demanding a halt to
the Shepherd Hotel residential construction project in East
Jerusalem, and that remarks by Israeli officials -- especially
Netanyahu -- on the issue caused tempers to flare within the Obama
administration. In a private meeting, top American officials said
they could not understand why details were leaked to the media.
HaQaretz quoted a senior Israeli official who is in contact with the
U.S. administration as saying: "The whole thing definitely didn't
make them happy." Israel Radio quoted the London-based Al-Hayat as
saying that a senior American source warned Israel against taking
unilateral steps before the resumption of negotiations on a
permanent status. The source was also quoted as saying that the
U.S. is worried about Government of Israel leaks regarding Israeli
moves in East Jerusalem.
State Department sources in Washington told HaQaretz yesterday that
Ambassador Michael Oren, who yesterday presented his letter of
accreditation to President Obama, was not summoned for a
"talking-to," as some reports indicated. HaQaretz quoted the
sources as saying that, on Thursday, Oren attended a previously
scheduled meeting with Deputy Secretary of State for Management
Jacob Lew. "The meeting dealt with at least eight different issues,
the first of which was the presentation of Oren's letter of
accreditation," a State Department source was quoted as saying.
"The messages were routine, and one of them touched on the issue of
East Jerusalem, and we expressed our concerns about the matter."
However, HaQaretz quoted senior Jerusalem officials who maintain
contact with Washington as saying that that the East Jerusalem issue
came up in phone calls with Oren even before the Thursday meeting,
and that it was clear that the matter would be raised there. These
sources say it was a major topic of discussion.
HaQaretz reported that the IDF is drafting a plan to forcibly
evacuate 23 illegal outposts -- populated by around 1,200 settlers
-- in one day. The plan was formulated by the defense
establishment, with NetanyahuQs knowledge. In talks with the U.S.,
Israel had said it would clear out 23 outposts built after March
2001 that it had told the George W. Bush administration it would
evacuate five years ago. So far as is known, a timetable has not
been set for the evacuations. The media reported that yesterday
police evacuated three illegal structures in various outposts. In
response, settlers torched Palestinian olive groves (according to
HaQaretz, at least 1,500 trees), threw stones at Palestinian cars
and blocked roads around the West Bank. Two Palestinians were
lightly hurt, as were a soldier and a settler. Five settlers were
arrested.
The Jerusalem Post quoted Jordanian and Palestinian officials as
saying yesterday that Jordanian authorities have started revoking
the citizenship of thousands of Palestinians living in Jordan to
avoid a situation in which they would be "resettled" permanently in
the kingdom. The new measure has increased tensions between
Jordanians and Palestinians, who make up around 70 percent of the
kingdom's population. The tensions reached their peak over the
weekend when tens of thousands of fans of Jordan's Al-Faisali soccer
team chanted slogans condemning Palestinians as traitors and
collaborators with Israel. The Jerusalem Post quoted Palestinians
as saying that several Jordanian government officials are convinced
that Netanyahu and FM Avigdor Lieberman are secretly working toward
turning Jordan into a Palestinian state.
Israel Radio reported that Kadima Knesset Member Otniel Schneller, a
former settler leader, has publicly criticized, in a letter to
Jewish American communities, the influence of American Jews in the
White House on its alleged negative attitude towards Israel. The
Jerusalem Post reported that this week, in a letter addressed to
American rabbinical organizations and the Conference of Presidents
of Major American Jewish Organizations -- his first public
declaration on settlements in the West Bank -- Chief Sephardi Rabbi
Shlomo Amar called this week on American Jews to explain to the
Obama administration the religious obligation of every Jew to live
in every part of the Land of Israel. He was quoted as writing: QThe
Torah commands the Jewish people to live in Israel. And we hear
that the U.S. is putting pressure on the Israeli government to
prevent Jews from living or building their homes in large parts of
the Land of Israel [i.e. Israel including the territories]. This is
being done at a time when every person is allowed to live wherever
he wishes to live in every area of the world, while here in Israel
[Americans] want to create a [Palestinian] state in which it will be
prohibited for Jews to live. And even expanding existing settlements
is prohibited. We ask you to take advantage of your strength and
power to influence the authorities in the U.S., that they should
examine the issue with truly democratic criteria and to take into
consideration the Torah and the Halacha [Jewish religious law] that
obligate Jews to settle everywhere."
All media reported that yesterday investigators from the police
national fraud squad announced that they will recommend that former
PM Ehud Olmert be charged with fraud and breach of trust in making
political appointments during his term as (Likud) industry, trade
and labor minister. On the other hand, Attorney-General Menachem
Mazuz announced yesterday that he was closing the corruption case
against Olmert over the purchase of a house on Cremieux Street in
Jerusalem, due to lack of sufficient evidence. The media quoted
Olmert associates as saying that the apparent well-timed link
between the two events is not a coincidence.
Former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Sallai Meridor was quoted as
saying in an interview with the Ynet news Web site that not only
does the dispute between Israel and the U.S. adversely effect
bilateral relations, but that it also impairs peace chances in the
Middle East. In a critique of Netanyahu, Meridor was quoted as
saying that while the U.S. is moving to the left, Israel is veering
to the right.
HaQaretz reported that the GOI is considering confiscating
privately-owned Palestinian land near the West Bank settlement of
Ofra, contrary to Netanyahu's pledge during his Bar-Ilan speech not
to take such actions. This announcement was made by the State
Prosecutor, in response to a High Court petition filed by a resident
of the West Bank town Ein Yabrud and the human rights association
Yesh Din. The parties were seeking the demolition of a sewage
treatment plant built illegally on the town's land by the Mateh
Binyamin Regional Council. The announcement says that the state is
considering turning the site into a regional sewage treatment plant
that would serve both Ofra and the nearby Palestinian communities.
HaQaretz reported that the nationalist Ateret Cohanim organization
-Q which runs a yeshiva -- has moved several Jewish families into a
building in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City, where former
prime minister Ariel Sharon owns an apartment. A HaQaretz
examination found that, despite PM NetanyahuQs claim this week that
Jerusalem is an "open city" that permits all its inhabitants, Jewish
and Palestinian, to purchase homes in both its eastern and western
parts, Israel Lands Administration rules determine that East
Jerusalem residents cannot take ownership of the vast majority of
Jerusalem homes.
Israel Radio reported that, in a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon, IsraelQs Ambassador to the UN complained about two recent
violations of UN Security Council 1701: the prevention by Hizbullah
of a UNIFIL check of arms infringements in South Lebanon and the
lack of UN intervention when ShiQite demonstrators infiltrated the
border at the Sheba Farms on Friday. The radio also reported that
Israel complained about the performance of the UN Human Rights
Council-appointed fact-finding mission to investigate international
human rights and humanitarian law violations related to Operation
Cast Lead, which is headed by Judge Richard Goldstone. HaQaretz and
other media reported that the Lebanese Army has increased its
presence in the Kafr Shuba and Sheba Farms area in South Lebanon,
warning residents not to approach the border for fear that Israeli
forces will fire upon them. HaQaretz says that local media
reported that Israel had stepped up its military readiness levels in
the region and deployed tanks and armored personnel carriers to the
area.
HaQaretz reported that the Finance Ministry continues to deny that
it has vetoed the use of guarantees provided to Israel by the USG in
order to avoid an embarrassing announcement by the Obama
administration that the guarantees had been used for investment in
the territories "beyond the green line." The treasury was quoted as
saying that it has no plan to utilize the guarantees in any case,
and that its considerations are solely economic ones. HaQaretz
reported that, during a recent visit by Finance Ministry Director
General Yoram Ariav to the U.S., Israel received a pledge for
another $670 million in guarantees, bringing the total amount of
U.S. debt guarantee to $2.7 billion. It is estimated that the U.S.
administration could be expected to deduct between $600 million and
$1 billion attributable to investments in the "territories" -- the
West Bank (including East Jerusalem), Golan, and Gaza areas.
Maariv quoted Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa, Crown Prince of
Bahrain, as saying in an interview with The Washington Post that the
Arabs have not done enough to hold contacts with Israelis. The
newspaper noted that this is an exceptional statement from a member
of the Arab League and that it challenges the LeagueQs stance that
Israel should not be approached before it withdraws from the
territories.
HaQaretz quoted the Foreign Ministry as saying that FM Lieberman's
QlandmarkQ visit to South America -- Brazil, Argentina, Peru, and
Colombia -- is aimed at helping curb Iranian influence there.
HaQaretz reported that Valter Pomar, secretary of international
relations for BrazilQs ruling Workers Party told the newspaper that
"Lieberman is a racist and a fascist. The Brazilian left is
organizing protests against him and against the policy he
represents." HaQaretz quoted the leader of Brazil's Jewish
community as saying that the visit is needed to "reverse exactly
such attitudes." The newspaper quoted a spokesman for the Brazilian
FM as saying that "Pomar's view certainly does not represent the
government's position." The Jerusalem Post noted that Lieberman
will miss Special Envoy George Mitchell and Defense Secretary Robert
GatesQ visits. The Post writes that Lieberman essentially
QdisengagedQ from the U.S.-led diplomatic process earlier this
month, when he said it would be a conflict of interest for someone
who lives in the settlement of Nokdim to deal with the future of the
settlements.
Maariv reported that 100 Israeli Jews convert to Islam every year.
HaQaretz described developments in the long-standing dispute among
the various branches of the Israeli intelligence community involving
boundaries and distribution of authority.

¶I. "The Old BibiQs Back"
Diplomatic correspondent Aluf Benn wrote in the independent,
left-leaning Ha'aretz (7/21): QIt seems like the QBibiQ of old has
come back to edge aside the balanced, responsible, politically
central QnewQ Benjamin Netanyahu.... Netanyahu is not the only one
binding himself with rigid statements. The Palestinian Authority
Chairman does so too. Mahmoud Abbas has reiterated his commitment
to the refugees' right of return. What happened to the two leaders?
Perhaps they're bracing for the American peace plan, expected in
about two months, and trying to block internal pressure on the core
issues.... Netanyahu and Abbas, despite their disconnect, are trying
to influence Obama's peace plan.... Next week will be crucial to
Israel's relations with Obama, when envoys George Mitchell,
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and National Security Advisor Jim
Jones. Their visits show that Israel is not a pariah in Washington
and that the administration wants to reach an understanding with
Netanyahu, despite the argument over freezing the settlements. But
the real test will be around the presentation of Obama's plan, and
when it is revealed how much energy he intends to invest in pushing
it.QII. "Why the President Disappoints"
Contributor and conservative international Jewish leader Isi Leibler
wrote in the independent Israel Hayom (7/21): Q[President Obama]
continues to stress his commitment to IsraelQs tranquility and
well-being, and his admiration for U.S. Jewry, but happenings prove
otherwise. Beyond the congenial masks, his policy reflects an
unprecedented deterioration in U.S.-Israel relations. It looks as
if the worst is still ahead.... [ObamaQs] Cairo speech id part of
his well thought-of policy to reconcile with the Arabs by toughening
stances vis-`-vis Israel.... ObamaQs demands are bigger than those
called for by Arafat during the negotiations over the Oslo
Accords.... The U.S. Jews must not shut up. By urging Obama not to
abandon Israel, they will also promote American national interests.
There is no example in history of success created by appeasing
jihadists and tyrants.
III. "One City. One State"
Conservative Op-Ed Page Editor Ben-Dror Yemini wrote in the popular,
pluralist Maariv (7/21): QJerusalem residents can buy apartments
anywhere in the city, Benjamin Netanyahu said just two days ago....
It is the right of every Jew to live anywhere in the Land of Israel,
Minister [Moshe] QBugiQ YaQalon told the Knesset a few weeks ago....
[But] the logic of Netanyahu and YaQalon, which they used to appeal
to the international community, can also be used the other way
around. If it is the right of a Jew to live anywhere, Jerusalem or
Hebron, then it is also the Arab's right. What did Netanyahu mean
to tell the Americans exactly? That he was restricting this right
to Jews?.... Those who support the right of Jewish return to areas
populated by Arabs, basically support the Palestinian right of
return to Jewish population centers in Israel. Netanyahu and
YaQalon are showing the way.
IV. "Start with the Outposts"
Senior columnist and longtime dove Yoel Marcus wrote in Ha'aretz
(7/21): QThe U.S. administration's body language toward Israel is
changing for the worse. The consideration, sympathy and esteem
American presidents have toward Israel are not what they used to be,
at least not since Obama's election. Even when their presidents and
our prime ministers loathed each other, like Menachem Begin and
Jimmy Carter for example, it did not stop them from working together
to achieve a peace treaty.... Anyone who thinks we'll exhaust the
Americans is wrong. Why? Because the conflict requires the
Americans to choose sides. Each choice has a price tag.... The
Obama administration's attitude toward us is becoming increasingly
formal. They focused the conflict mainly on the settlements, as
though if this problem were solved the entire conflict would be
solved and 100 years of hatred would disappear in a blink of an eye.
As though the building of one additional room for a family who had
twins will determine whether or not there is peace. Political
deadlock in the Middle East produces terror. A political standstill
here also weakens Obama, who must solve the Iranian threat.... Obama
is expected to present his plan in September. Before we submit all
our conditions and demands from the Palestinians, it's important for
Israel to implement all the things it has undertaken to do. One
fine day it must dismantle all 23 illegal outposts forcibly. Not
for Jerusalem, not for the Palestinians and not for Obama -- but for
our image as a law-abiding state.
¶V. QLend an Ear to QBreaking the Silence
Prominent liberal author A. B. Yehoshua wrote in the
mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot (7/21): QThe accounts
given by the soldiers to Breaking the Silence [an organization that
collects IDF soldiers' testimony on human rights abuses by the
military] ought to be listened to attentively and seriously, and
they ought to be examined individually in order to learn lessons for
the future. Even if some of the accounts prove to be exaggerated,
we still need to honor the motivation that prompted those soldiers
to air them. After all, none of them thought they stood to gain
anything personally by doing so. On the contrary, their civic
courage is liable to tax them in the form of possible hostility from
their comrades in arms and the public.... It behooves us to keep a
fundamental truth in mind: the methods of warfare with the enemy do
not remain outside the borders of Israel, but seep into Israel....
The rules of the struggle with the Palestinians must be carefully
adhered to since they have been and are going to be our neighbors
forever.
