Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
Leading electronic media reported that three people were killed in a
suicide bombing in a commercial center in an outlying neighborhood
of Eilat. Fatah, Islamic Jihad, and a third, unknown, organization
claimed responsibility for the attack, which was condemned by PA
Chairman [President] Mahmoud Abbas's bureau.
Ha'aretz cited Peace Now as saying on Sunday that settlers have
recently begun some additional construction at four out of six
outposts that have received demarcation orders and whose evacuation
orders has been delayed by the state.
All media reported that at least 26 Palestinians were killed and
dozens were wounded in fierce fighting between Fatah and Hamas
gunmen in the Gaza Strip over the weekend. On Sunday Yediot
reported that four roadside bombs were placed on the route of
Abbas's convoy in Gaza last week, and that the PA's Preventative
Security defused them. On Sunday Yediot quoted Abbas as saying in
Davos, Switzerland, in an interview with the newspaper: "I won't
wait forever; rather, I will examine within two-three weeks what the
internal situation is in the Palestinian Authority and whether there
is a chance of forming a government that will lift the international
boycott. If not, I will announce early elections." Abbas was also
quoted as saying in the interview: "The solution to the refugee
issue needs to be fair and agreed to by both parties." Yediot
reported that senior Fatah member Muhammad Dahlan is building a
12,000-strong force with European and US funding. The Jerusalem
Post reported that the PA has blamed Iran and Syria for promoting
Palestinian civil war. Media reported that on Sunday Hamas and
Fatah announced that they were accepting Saudi King Abdullah's offer
to host a special summit in Mecca in order to quell the latest round
of violence between the two sides.
Over the weekend major media reported that the UN General Assembly
adopted a resolution on Friday condemning the denial of the
Holocaust, and that Iran rejected it as an attempt by the US and
Israel to exploit the atrocity for their political interests. ThQ
resolution, co-sponsored by 103 countries, was approved by consensus
without a vote. Yediot quoted PM Ehud Olmert as saying on Sunday at
the weekly cabinet meeting, which also marked International
Holocaust Day, that Israel will never let the world sink into apathy
over the Iranian threat to eliminate Israel. On Sunday Ha'aretz
reported that Olmert will appoint a special coordinator responsible
for monitoring the flow of funds from Iran to elements hostile to
Israel. The coordinator will assist the US in its efforts to
boycott Iranian banking operations. Ha'aretz reported that an
Israeli delegation headed by Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz and
participating in the strategic dialogue forum with the US, informed
US officials of the decision at a meeting in Tel Aviv. Ha'aretz
reported that during the meeting, the US delegation presented its
plan to isolate Iranian funds. The US plan is headed by Under
Secretary of Commerce Stuart Levey. On Sunday Ha'aretz reported
SIPDIS
that former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami told the newspaper in
Davos on Saturday that there was no chance for talks between Iran
and Israel. He was quoted as saying that a solution for the
Arab-Israeli conflict must be found that would allow the Palestinian
refugees to return to their homes and establish a Palestinian state.
On Sunday Yediot reported that, for the first time since the Islamic
revolution in Iran, a film has been requested for the Tehran film
festival that was directed by an Israeli and which deals with the
Israeli reality. The festival is scheduled to begin this Thursday
and is to last ten days. The film, "More than 1,000 Words," which
was directed by Solo Avital and is about the photojournalist Ziv
Koren, evokes the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and all of its
complexities.
On Sunday, The Jerusalem Post reported that US administration
officials told the newspaper this weekend that a preliminary State
Department report has found that Israel violated US-Israel arms
agreements governing the use of cluster bombs during the war in
Lebanon. Congress is expected to be briefed on the conclusions of
the report in the coming week. Ha'aretz also wrote on the matter
today. Today The Jerusalem Post quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman
Mark Regev as saying on Sunday that Israel's use of the bombs was in
self-defense. The Jerusalem Post reported that, in one of the
largest weapons deals since the war in Lebanon, the Israel Air Force
intends to purchase thousands of Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM)
missiles from the US for an estimated USD 100 million. The Boeing
Co.-produced JDAM is a low-cost guidance kit that converts free-fall
bombs into guided "smart" weapons.
Ha'aretz cited the non-profit organization as saying in a recent
report that Israel has neglected Arab neighborhoods that are within
Jerusalem's municipal boundaries but outside the West Bank
separation fence.
Israel Radio cited the Egyptian daily Al-Ahram as saying that Israel
has acceded to Egypt's request that it release 26 Egyptian citizens
it is detaining.
On Sunday Yediot cited the belief of Israeli experts that Hizbullah
is likely to receive from Iran a new and advanced model of the
Zelzal rocket, which has a range of up to 400 kilometers. This
would allow Hizbullah to attack targets anywhere in Israel.
Sunday's testimony of outgoing IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Dan Halutz
before the Winograd Committee probing last summer's war in Lebanon:
Maariv and Yediot reported that Halutz admitted hat he erred when he
did not call up reserve forces earlier. Yediot quoted Halutz
associates as saying that Halutz told the committee that the GOI
decided to go to war without knowing what it was deciding. Israel
Radio reported that the IDF Spokeswoman's office denied the story.
Ha'aretz reported that on Sunday the High Court of Justice hinted
that it may rule that the panel's hearings should be made public --
except in cases where there is danger to national security.
Leading media reported on, and Ha'aretz led with, an annual report
issued by the Global Forum against Anti-Semitism -- a joint effort
of the Jewish Agency, the Foreign Ministry, and the Prime Minister's
Office -- according to which last year saw a substantial rise in the
number of anti-Semitic incidents in Germany, Austria and
Scandinavia. Israel Radio reported that the International
Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists has complained to Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak about anti-Semitism in his country.
Prof. Bernard Lewis, a world-renowned Middle Eastern and Islamic
scholar, was quoted as saying in an interview with The Jerusalem
Post that Islam could soon be the dominant force in a Europe which,
in the name of political correctness, has abdicated the battle for
cultural and religious control. Lewis war quoted as saying that the
Muslins "seem to be about to take over Europe." Asked what this
meant for the continent's Jews, Lewis reportedly responded: "The
outlook for the Jewish communities of Europe is dim."
Israel Radio reported that this morning the Knesset's House
Committee started procedures to impeach Israel's President Moshe
Katsav. Ninety Knesset votes are required to complete the move.
Ha'aretz reported that Katsav's hearing is expected to take place
within two months, sooner than was previously thought. Leading
media reported that on Sunday the cabinet's legislative committee
approved the so-called "Peres law" that will allow Vice PM Shimon
Peres to be elected president of the state in an open Knesset vote,
as opposed to the current secret vote procedure. The Knesset will
have to pass the draft bill, which the media said would be a
difficult move.
All media reported that, for the first time in Israeli history, the
cabinet will include a Muslim Arab, following the near-unanimous
approval on Sunday by the current ministers to welcome Labor MK
Raleb Majadele into their ranks. Strategic Affairs Minister Avigdor
Lieberman (Yisrael Beiteinu) was the only dissenting vote. The
appointment will be put to a Knesset vote today. The three Arab
parties represented in the Knesset will vote against the appointment
on the grounds that it is designed to serve partisan interests and
that it will not contribute to their struggle for equality.
Yediot quoted Israeli defense sources as saying that Defense
Minister Amir Peretz has not allowed senior intelligence officials
to meet with Strategic Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
Leading media reported that since Sunday US and Iraqi forces have
killed some 300 gunmen from an apocalyptic Muslim cult -- the
self-proclaimed "Soldiers of Heaven" -- near the Shi'ite holy city
of Najaf.
Major media reported that today Finance Minister Abraham Hirchson
will present four comprehensive reforms in the coming years:
pensions for all workers, increased taxes on the use of company
cars, negative income tax, and reducing the middle class tax
burden.
Yediot quoted Palestinian FM Mahmoud Zahar as saying a few days ago
in an interview with the Canadian daily Globe and Mail that Israel
should "move to Canada."
Yediot reported that a few days ago Swiss President and FM Micheline
Calmy-Rey told the parents of abducted IDF soldier Ehud Goldwasser
that Switzerland has contacts with Syria, the Palestinians, and
Lebanon in an attempt to release the three kidnapped IDF soldiers.
On Sunday Ha'aretz and The Jerusalem Post reported that a new forum
-- The National Movement for Peace with Syria -- calling for peace
talks with Syria would meet last night in Tel Aviv. Forum
participants will include former chief of staff Amnon Lipkin Shahak,
former Shin Bet chief Ya'akov Perry, former directors general of the
Foreign Ministry David Kimche and Alon Liel, as well as authors,
academics, and intellectuals.
Yediot cited fears in Israel that Palestinians may sue Defense
Minister Peretz in Belgium for war crimes. Peretz is due to visit
that country next week, during his first trip abroad since he has
been in office.
Leading media reported that, in Park City, Utah, on Sunday, the
Israeli movies "Sweet Mud" and "Hot House," the latter a
documentary, won grand jury prizes at the Sundance Film Festival.
Maariv reported that, as Passover approaches, economy airfares to
New York are estimated to reach USD 1,000-1,200 during that period
-- up from USD 750 in February.

Summary:
--------
The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized: "As such, as
the sovereign in the territories, and irrespective of who is to
blame for the diplomatic impasse, Israel is obliged to distinguish
between the civilian population and the political process."
Palestinian affairs correspondent Danny Rubinstein wrote in
Ha'aretz: "What is happening in Gaza ... endangers not only the
inhabitants of the Strip, but all of us, Israelis and Palestinians,
who are sliding down the slippery slope of a cultural and religious
battle."
Regional correspondent Ronni Shaked wrote in the mass-circulation,
pluralist Yediot Aharonot: "The fate of the Palestinian government
has not been sealed in Gaza and Ramallah but, rather, in Tehran and
Washington."
Conservative columnist Prof. Efraim Inbar, Director of the
Begin-Sadat Strategic Center at Bar-Ilan University, wrote in the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post: "Jerusalem should
encourage greater involvement by Egypt and Jordan in Palestinian
affairs."
Senior columnist Haggai Huberman wrote in an editorial on page one
of the nationalist, Orthodox Hatzofe: "Once upon a time we used to
believe that the world was silent only when Arabs kill Jews.
Apparently, however, the world's view is that when Arabs kill Arabs,
that is okay."
Block Quotes:
-------------
¶I. "Separating Talks From the People"
The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized (1/28): "Given
the Quartet meeting's expected failure, and marking a year of
Israeli -- and international -- sanctions against the democratically
elected Palestinian government, there is no choice but to reevaluate
this policy. Because, even those who adopt the principle that no
diplomatic talks can take place with those who do not recognize the
State of Israel cannot accept that millions of humans under Israeli
occupation can remain hostages to the lack of a diplomatic process.
No less troubling is the view that the worsening of Palestinians'
living conditions will result in the sort of political change that
Israel would like to see. As such, as the sovereign in the
territories, and irrespective of who is to blame for the diplomatic
impasse, Israel is obliged to distinguish between the civilian
population and the political process.... The eternal question of
'what will bolster or weaken Mahmoud Abbas?' is also no policy.
Israel must propose a plan that allows for normal Palestinian life,
employment, civil services and infrastructures, as is required from
an occupier.... This is not merely a legal obligation, but a
humanitarian necessity. Furthermore, it would be a worthwhile
political investment. An improved economic situation in the
territories may also ensure the desired political choice."
II. "The Key Lies in Gaza"
Palestinian affairs correspondent Danny Rubinstein wrote in Ha'aretz
(1/29): "The bloody battles between the factions in Gaza are
affecting the entire region. From a fight for political power they
have turned into struggles of an ethical, ideological nature. Hamas
is identified with the steadfast front in the Arab world, which is
very popular in the Arab street.... On the other hand, Abu Mazen, is
representative in Gaza Muhammad Dahlan, and their friends are
identified in Gaza with rotten and corrupt regimes that serve
American interests. What is happening in Gaza therefore endangers
not only the inhabitants of the Strip, but all of us, Israelis and
Palestinians, who are sliding down the slippery slope of a cultural
and religious battle."
III. "A War of Identity: Between Secularism and Fundamentalism"
Regional correspondent Ronni Shaked wrote in the mass-circulation,
pluralist Yediot Aharonot (1/28): "This is not a political clash
between Hamas and Fatah over the reins of power. It is a war over
the Palestinian identity -- between Fatah, which wants a national
and secular identity, and Hamas, which wants to establish a
fundamentalist Palestinian Islamic identity. It is a war between
the values of the West and Islam. That is why the fate of the
Palestinian government has not been sealed in Gaza and Ramallah but,
rather, in Tehran and Washington.... Who has won more points? At
this stage Fatah is in better shape. Most of the dead and injured
over the weekend were Hamas men. But that was just a single battle
in a war.... Gaza is burning, but Abu Mazen is touring the world.
He was in Davos, he was in Spain. This week he will be visiting
Morocco, will take part in a conference in Addis Ababa and return to
Ramallah only towards the end of February. He would like to return
to Gaza after Hamas has been defeated in battle, but Hamas has not
shown any signs of breaking yet. The Gazans have overcome the
blight of poverty and unemployment by means of the new jobs and
livelihoods: the armed militias. There's money there and the
salaries are paid."
IV. "End the Delusion"
Conservative columnist Prof. Efraim Inbar, Director of the
Begin-Sadat Strategic Center at Bar-Ilan University, wrote in the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post (1/28): "With PA fortunes
at a low point, Israel should use its diplomatic resources to
further weaken and delegitimize the hostile entity, rather then
paying lip service to the two-state paradigm -- a losing
proposition. Jerusalem should encourage greater involvement by
Egypt and Jordan in Palestinian affairs. These states have signed
peace treaties with Jerusalem and behave more responsibly than the
PA leadership. If they refuse, the prevailing chaos will inflict
pain primarily on the Palestinians. Under the current circumstances
such a consequence may be useful in influencing the Palestinian
learning curve. Alas, there are people who learn only the hard
way."
¶V. "Universal Hypocrisy"
Senior columnist Haggai Huberman wrote in an editorial on page one
of the nationalist, Orthodox Hatzofe (1/28): "Twenty-one
Palestinians were killed this weekend in the Gaza Strip and no words
of outrage were voiced in any capital of the enlightened world....
It is not difficult to imagine what the headlines around the world,
and in Israel too, would have been had Yihya Abu Bakra, the
two-year-old child, had been killed by a stray Israeli bullet rather
than a Palestinian bullet. The telephones in Jerusalem would not
have stopped ringing: warnings from Condoleezza, threats from Putin,
and the word 'massacre,' which certainly would have been used at the
top of every BBC news broadcast.... Once upon a time we used to
believe that the world was silent only when Arabs kill Jews.
Apparently, however, the world's view is that when Arabs kill Arabs,
that is okay. The enlightened Western world never suffered from a
lack of hypocrisy. On Saturday we were shown a little bit more."
