Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
HaQaretz quoted decision-makers in Jerusalem as saying that Israel
would continue to launch pinpoint strikes against Hamas and other
Palestinian militant organizations in Gaza. Yesterday Israeli
aircraft wounded 10 Palestinians in the attempted killing of a Hamas
operative in southern Gaza. Palestinian militants launched two
Qassam rockets and one mortar round into Israel, resulting in no
casualties or damage. HaQaretz reported that Hizbullah, meanwhile,
has vowed to strike Israeli targets, and that on Wednesday Cypriot
authorities detained an Iranian arms ship that Israel believes may
have been en route to Hizbullah.
All media highlighted a diplomatic incident yesterday at the World
Economic Forum in Davos: Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan stormed off
the stage after verbally sparring with President Shimon Peres over
the recent fighting in Gaza. Erdogan was angry after being cut off
by a panel moderator after listening to an impassioned monologue by
Peres defending Israel's recent 22-day offensive against Hamas in
Gaza. Erdogan declared to Peres: "You are killing people." A
finger-pointing Peres told Erdogan that he would have done the same
if rockets had been falling on Istanbul. Israel Radio quoted
diplomatic sources in Ankara as saying that there likely wonQt be
direct consequences to the incident, but that the Jewish lobby in
Washington may stop preventing the characterization by the U.S. of
the 1915 killing of Armenians by Turkey as Qgenocide.Q The radio
also said that the row may spark a comparison between Hamas and the
PKK as well as help Erdogan in the upcoming Turkish elections.
Israel Radio reported that the U.S. expressed concern for the
civilian casualties on both sides in the conflict in the Gaza Strip
and called to provide humanitarian aid for Gazan residents and
assist in the region's relief. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice
was quoted as saying at a UN Security Council meeting that
Washington expected Israel to stand by its commitment to inquire
whether it abided by international law in the course of the
fighting. That said, Rice stressed that many accusations had been
launched against Israel with no intention other than to inflame
public opinion. She added that Hamas had violated international law
by firing rockets on civilian towns in Israel. She said that Hamas
members also hid in civilian facilities in order to protect
themselves. Rice noted that the Obama administration was taking a
new approach to the UN and did not automatically suspect it of
fostering hostility toward Israel. Leading media reported that
yesterday the UN launched an emergency appeal for $613 million to
help Palestinians recover from IsraelQs offensive.
Israel Radio reported that 60 Democratic members of the US House of
Representatives called on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to
allow emergency support for the UN's agency for refugees in Gaza,
UNRWA, so that it will be able to begin providing relief after the
destruction caused by the fighting. The Congress members are also
requesting that Israel allow Palestinians who were badly injured in
the course of the fighting to receive medical treatment in the PA or
Jordan.
HaQaretz and other media quoted Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu as
saying yesterday that he would not be bound by PM Olmert's
commitments to evacuate West Bank settlements and withdraw from the
territories.
All media reported that yesterday a Spanish judge decided to open a
probe of seven former top security officials -- including then
defense minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, IAF commander Dan Halutz, and
Shin Bet head Avi Dichter-- for alleged war crimes in the 2002
bombing in Gaza that killed top Hamas terrorist Salah Shehadeh as
well as 14 other people. The media cited IsraelQs anger over the
decision, and reported that it is considering appealing the move.
In another development, HaQaretz reported that Israeli leftists have
begun drawing up a Qblacklist of army officers involved in the
recent operation in Gaza, in response to the military censorQs
decision to ban the publication of their names, pictures, or other
indentifying details.
Makor Rishon-Hatzofe reported that 300,00 Jews now live in the West
Bank, a 50,000 increase during OlmertQs tenure.
All media reported that Pope Benedict XVIQs decision to reinstate
four ultra-conservative clerics has sparked a conflict with IsraelQs
Chief Rabbinate and other institutions. Two of those bishops have
denied the Holocaust.
Maariv presented the results of a TNS/Teleseker poll on voting
intentions for the Knesset elections (In brackets: Maariv's January
23 poll):
QIf elections were held today, for which party would you vote?
Likud: 28 (28): Kadima: 23 (24); Labor: 17 (16); Yisrael Beiteinu:
16 (16); Shas: 10 (9); Meretz: 6 (6); United Torah Judaism: 5 (6);
National Religious Party-Jewish Home: 4 (4): Arab parties: 8 (11);
National Union: 3 (2); 70.3% percent of respondents declared their
intention to vote.
Makor Rishon-Hatzofe cited the results of a Shvakim-Panorama survey
claiming that Likud leads Kadima by 9 Knesset seats:
:Likud: 29: Kadima: 20; Labor: 16; Yisrael Beiteinu: 16; Shas: 11;
United Torah Judaism: 7; Meretz: 4); National Religious Party-Jewish
Home: 3): Arab parties: 9; National Union: 3.
Several media reported that many United Torah Judaism voters are
shifting to Shas.

Europe correspondent Nadav Eyal wrote in the popular, pluralist
Maariv: QObama is not seeking long, interminable processes such as
the Roadmap. He doesnQt believe in conflict management, but in
agreements and a resolution mechanism.
Diplomatic correspondent Shimon Shiffer and others wrote in the
mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot: QIt was said yesterday
in Gaza that the cancellation of Barak's trip to the United States
was another indication that Israel was preparing for a massive
reprisal, but that George Mitchell's presence in the region had
caused a delay.
Diplomatic correspondent Herb Keinon wrote in the conservative,
independent Jerusalem Post (1/30): QAlthough diplomatic sources said
it was clear the new Obama administration would stand by [President
BushQs 2004] letter [to Ariel Sharon], this did not mean that the
United StatesQ recognition of changing realities on the ground meant
it accepted Israel's interpretation of this.
Jerrold Kessel and Pierre Kochendler, Jerusalem-based reporters and
documentary filmmakers, wrote in the independent, left-leaning
Ha'aretz: Q[President Obama should] act now, by speaking out now,
definitely in advance of the February 10 Israeli elections. It's
time for plain speaking from friends.
HaQaretz editorialized: QIt is not possible to demand that the
Palestinians demonstrate transparency in their battle against the
infrastructure of terror while at the same time throwing sand in the
world's eyes over the deepening of the occupation's
infrastructure.
Shmuel Rosner wrote in the popular, pluralist Maariv: QObamaQs
entourage swears that he is not seeking a row with Netanyahu.
The nationalist, Orthodox Makor Rishon-Hatzofe editorialized:
QInstead of President ObamaQs envoy presenting an outline of
negotiations, the Israeli Prime Minister is presenting one of its
own. The U.S. administration will therefore likely embrace this
outline as its own.
Europe correspondent Nadav Eyal and reporter Amir Buhbut wrote in
the popular, pluralist Maariv: Q[A] letter [that President Obama
will send the Iranian leadership] is the direct outcome of a series
of positive declarations on both sides over the past two months.
Block Quotes:

¶I. QNo Nonsense
Europe correspondent Nadav Eyal wrote in the popular, pluralist
Maariv (1/30): QMitchell wonQt try to do to the Palestinians and
Israel what he did in Northern Ireland. However, his nomination is
the new administrationQs key message: Obama is not seeking long,
interminable processes such as the Roadmap. He doesnQt believe in
conflict management, but in agreements and a resolution mechanism.
Obama is not exactly a person consumed by doubts about himself....
[Mitchell] is not one of BushQs rotating generals, but the real
thing Q the Qreal McCoy,Q as they say in America. He doesnQt
empathize with Hamas. Judging from his comments two years ago, he
has no intention of breaking the line of Hamas-boycotting, unless it
recognizes IsraelQs right to exist.
II. QOlmert: Disproportionate Response to Hamas's Actions in Gaza
Diplomatic correspondent Shimon Shiffer and others wrote in the
mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot (1/30): QFollowing the
attack in which an IDF soldier was killed Tuesday and the firing of
two Qassam rockets in the past couple of days, Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert supports a harsh and disproportionate response. The Prime
Minister believes that Israel must respond disproportionately to
every incident of fire from the Gaza Strip as well as to every Hamas
attempt at arms smuggling. Hamas fears Israel's response and its
organization's leaders have since returned to their hideouts.
Yesterday the Prime Minister summoned the Foreign and Defense
Ministers to discuss Israel's response to the attack and to the
renewed smuggling and Qassam rocket fire. Behind closed doors
Olmert said that Israel must not find itself getting into a war of
attrition with Hamas. QIf necessary, the military will embark on a
new campaign in Gaza,Q he said. Gaza is hearing these voices and
getting the hint, and a war atmosphere has again descended on the
city. Sources in Gaza said yesterday that Hamas leaders took
seriously the threats of Shaul Mofaz who warned that as long as
Gilad Shalit had not been returned, neither would Hamas leaders see
the light of day. It was said yesterday in Gaza that the
cancellation of Barak's trip to the United States was another
indication that Israel was preparing for a massive reprisal, but
that George Mitchell's presence in the region had caused a delay.
QThe U.S. and Israel Diverge on the Interpretation of BushQs 2004
Letter to Sharon
Diplomatic correspondent Herb Keinon wrote in the conservative,
independent Jerusalem Post (1/30): QAlthough diplomatic sources said
it was clear the new Obama administration would stand by [President
BushQs 2004] letter [to Ariel Sharon], this did not mean that the
United StatesQ recognition of changing realities on the ground meant
it accepted Israel's interpretation of this to mean Washington would
back the annexation of the large settlement blocs -- something the
U.S. has never explicitly said. This topic is likely to come up on
Friday morning when Mitchell meets Likud head Benjamin Netanyahu,
who is expected to present Mitchell with a view of the diplomatic
process significantly different from the one that Olmert
presented.
IV. QNew Rules of Engagement
Jerrold Kessel and Pierre Kochendler, Jerusalem-based reporters and
documentary filmmakers, wrote in the independent, left-leaning
Ha'aretz (1/30): QThe Qtwo-state solutionQ is, in boxing
terminology, about to be counted out, some say. More and more
people maintain there's already been a count of Q10 and you're out.
Acknowledging the urgency, President Barack Obama has been as good
as his word, letting not a single day pass before taking action to
demonstrate that the United States is reengaged to avert the
knockout. But is it enough? It isn't. Obama needs to establish
new rules of engagement. In dispatching George Mitchell as his
special envoy to the region, the president said in an interview with
the Al Arabiya network, he expects him to Qstart by listening,
because ultimately we cannot tell the Israelis or the Palestinians
what's best for them -- they're going to have to make some
decisions.Q Yes, Obama can tell them. In fact, he should. Act now,
by speaking out now, definitely in advance of the February 10
Israeli elections. It's time for plain speaking from friends. The
war in Gaza has reaffirmed the legitimacy of Israel's acting to
establish its deterrence. [But] Israel must be ready to commit to
ending the occupation. Some will see this kind of Washington
message as unwarranted interference in the elections. It is not:
It's not telling Israelis for whom to vote. Nor is it pressure.
Before they decide the direction they want their country to go and
their place in the region, it's simply letting Israelis know that
this is where the U.S. has decided to stand -- this is its direction
and its place in the region.
¶V. QLike Two Hedgehogs Making Love
Shmuel Rosner wrote in the popular, pluralist Maariv (1/30): Q[In
the nineties], the Americans fiercely endeavored to get rid of
Netanyahu. This didnQt bring much good. The Obama administration
wants to be wiser than ClintonQs. During the election campaign the
president was caught making unnecessary statements Q he said that a
Qpro-LikudQ approach was not needed to be a friend of Israel Q but
he quickly regretted his words. ObamaQs entourage swears that he is
not seeking a row with Netanyahu. He hopes that the bitter
experience from the nineties has been useful to both sides: this
time Netanyahu will be more careful about keeping good relations
with the administration. Obama will not try to prove that he is
stronger Q at least not at the beginning.
VI. QStop the Deceit and Whitewashing
HaQaretz editorialized (1/30): QAlmost four years after attorney
Talia Sasson published a report exposing the cooperation, by
commission and omission, of successive Israeli governments in the
establishment of dozens of settlement outposts, an internal defense
document reveals that even settlements deemed legal by Israel are in
part, and sometimes in large part, effectively illegal outposts.
The Defense Ministry's database documents illegal construction in
more than 30 settlements, including veteran [ones].... This is not
another report by Peace Now or another investigative report by the
media. It is an official document, drafted by a retired senior
officer, Baruch Spiegel, on orders from former defense minister
Shaul Mofaz. It casts a heavy shadow over Israel's pro-peace
statements, while raising questions about its official position that
the Quse Israel makes of land for the settlements accords with all
the rules and norms of international law. Privately-owned land has
not been expropriated for the sake of establishing the
settlementsQ.... It is not possible to demand that the Palestinians
demonstrate transparency in their battle against the infrastructure
of terror while at the same time throwing sand in the world's eyes
over the deepening of the occupation's infrastructure. Or in the
words of U.S. envoy George Mitchell's report from May 2001: The kind
of security cooperation desired by the GOI [Government of Israel]
cannot for long coexist with settlement activity.
VII. QUnbinding Commitments
The nationalist, Orthodox Makor Rishon-Hatzofe editorialized (1/30):
QA recurring, malignant phenomenon is again invading IsraelQs
diplomatic world: The outgoing Prime Minister is presenting an
official American envoy Q this time, George Mitchell Q his
governmentQs commitment to a permanent-status agreement as part of
the negotiations. The problem created by the QOlmert legacyQ for
the next government is not so much in the pledge that he gave.
After all, no government decision approved this shelf agreement,
neither did the Knesset. But what Olmert did was to make life
easier for the Americans. Instead of President ObamaQs envoy
presenting an outline of negotiations, the Israeli Prime Minister is
presenting one of its own. The U.S. administration will therefore
likely embrace this outline as its own.
VIII. QObamaQs New Friend: Ahmadinejad
Europe correspondent Nadav Eyal and reporter Amir Buhbut wrote in
the popular, pluralist Maariv (1/30): QSenior Obama administration
officials have drafted a letter that the President is supposed to
send to the Iranian leadership, in a first attempt to thaw taut
relations between Washington and Tehran. It is still unclear at
this time whether the recipient of the letter will be spiritual
leader Ali Khamenei or President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The letter is
the direct outcome of a series of positive declarations on both
sides over the past two months. [This being said], a senior Israeli
defense source said yesterday regarding the location of an Iranian
ship suspected of carrying weapons for Hamas. QThe Americans are
monitoring the ship, but since it travels under the flag of Cyprus,
it cannot be stopped and searched. The IraniansQ very willingness
and ability to transfer weaponry to Hamas is evidence of the level
of sanctions that were imposed on Iran.
