Israel Radio reported that on Tuesday the State Department denied
that the decision to postpone Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's
visit was a sign that the US administration is distancing itself
from Olmert due to his government's turmoil. Ha'aretz quoted State
Department Spokesman Sean McCormack as saying: "We work very closely
with Prime Minister Olmert ... We are working very closely with him
and his government as we speak on ... Israeli-Palestinian issues and
how to move that process forward." Israel Radio reported that on
Monday FM Tzipi Livni talked with Secretary Rice. The radio quoted
sources in Livni's bureau as saying that Rice's decision to cancel
her visit had nothing to do with the phone call with Livni. Israel
Radio quoted senior sources in Olmert's bureau as saying that they
know nothing about such a call. Maariv (Uri Yablonka) reported that
a source in Olmert's bureau claimed that the possibility that Rice's
visit might be postponed was already apparent three weeks ago, so
there is no connection between the postponement of the visit and the
crisis following the conclusions of the Winograd report. Maariv
quoted other Israeli sources as saying that the reason for the
cancellation is still unclear. However, Maariv reported that a
"more problematic" image of impasse emerged from meetings between US
and Israeli officials regarding the possible fall of Israel's
current government and Israel's inability to conduct a long-range
policy on the Palestinian track. Maariv reported that senior
officials in Washington told senior Israeli officials that so long
as there is uncertainty due to the instability of the government,
the peace process will remain deadlocked and there may even be
repercussions affecting other issues between the two countries.
Maariv has learned that the American warnings left a grave
impression on the Israeli side, the lack of confidence in Washington
in the stability of the Israeli government may undermine cooperation
with the US until further notice. Maariv wrote that, in
conversations with Israelis, the Americans did not specify the
issues on which relations between the two countries would be
damaged, but one of the statements made was that the complex track
with the Palestinians will not tolerate governmental instability on
the Israeli side too. According to Maariv, the Americans also
expressed doubt about the possibility of dialogue with a government
that will soon be changing hands. Maariv quoted a senior Israeli
political source as saying: "The US is Israel's senior strategic
partner. We are as dependent on it as on the air we breathe." The
source went on to say: "The US is our insurance policy in the
Security Council,Q and is Qrestraining the European tendency towards
expanding cooperation with the Hamas-Fatah government in the PA."
The source warned that "our impasse on the Palestinian issue must
not be allowed to become official policy." The Jerusalem Post
reported that the State Department is downplaying the significance
of Rice's canceled trip. The Jerusalem Post quoted former US
ambassador to Israel as saying that Rice's decision to skip the trip
was "curious," adding that the State Department would not point to
another country's internal politics as the reason to avoid a trip,
even if that were the cause.
All media reported that on Tuesday former PM Ehud Barak publicly
called on PM Ehud Olmert to resign, but quoted him as saying that
should Olmert refuse to either resign or call new elections, he
would be prepared to sit in a possible transitional Olmert
government. Politicians and commentators criticized Barak's
zigzagging. Ha'aretz quoted senior officials of the Kadima party as
saying, in response to Barak's statement by Ehud Barak urging Olmert
to resign, that Kadima must begin preparing to choose a replacement
for Olmert.
Leading media reported that today the Winograd Commission will
release the testimonies of Olmert, Defense Minister Amir Peretz, and
former IDF chief of staff Dan Halutz. Israel Radio reported that
this morning the diplomatic-security cabinet is discussing the
classified portions of the report. Maariv cited the concern of
Olmert associates that the publication of an expunged report might
cite Olmert's testimony out of its context.
Ha'aretz and Israel Radio quoted the World Bank as saying in a new
report that Israel harms Palestinian freedom of movement and access
to parts of the West Bank, damaging any chances for the Palestinian
economy to emerge from crisis. The bank's particularly critical
report also says the limitations imposed on Palestinians' movement
prevents their access to about 50 percent of the West Bank, and
prevents any likelihood that the Palestinian economy can grow. The
radio quoted the World Bank as saying that Israel has split the West
Bank into ten cantons without any economic connections between them.
Israel Radio also quoted the World Bank as saying that the
international blockade of the PA ahs worsened the Palestinians'
economic condition.
Israel Radio reported that the five permanent UN Security Council
members and Germany will meet today to discuss imposing tougher UN
sanctions against Iran unless it halts uranium enrichment work the
West suspects is part of a secret program to build nuclear weapons.
Major media reported that, wary of the security implications of
Palestinians traveling between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, the
Israeli defense establishment expressed its opposition to this part
of the US "benchmarks plan" for Israel and the PA. Ha'aretz quoted
defense officials as saying in internal meetings this week that
allowing freedom of movement between the two territories may create
a dangerous security situation, enabling the transfer of
technological know-how for the making of Qassam rockets from the
Gaza Strip to the West Bank. Makor Rishon-Hatzofe reported that
Israeli defense officials clarified this to US officials. Ha'aretz
said that the US argues that Israel has already committed to
allowing the transit of convoys between the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip as part of the November 2005 Agreement on Movement and Access.
Ha'aretz reported that Israeli defense officials responded as
follows: "The security situation in the Gaza Strip has deteriorated
significantly since the Movement agreement, and the Qassam rocket
attacks continue and in some cases have intensified. This fact
should not be ignored." However, The Jerusalem Post quoted Israeli
diplomatic officials as saying that although the security prism is
an important prism through which to view the plan, it is not the
only one. The Jerusalem Post quoted the officials as saying the
roadblocks and checkpoints extract a high diplomatic price for
Israel around the world. The Jerusalem Post quoted one officials as
saying: "The Western world, with the exception of the US, sees the
roadblocks and checkpoints as a main problem here. It is considered
collective punishment that bothers everyone, but only weeds out a
few terrorists." The Jerusalem Post quoted US diplomatic officials
as sayng on Tuesday that the paper is not a "take it or leave it"
document. The Jerusalem Post quoted the spokesman of the US Embassy
in Tel Aviv as saying that the benchmarks were "not a fixed
deadline, but a flexible set of targets to help facilitate
discussions."
The Jerusalem Post reported that on Tuesday veteran pollster Stanley
Greenberg told the Knesset's Subcommittee on Foreign and Public
Relations that America's support for Israel is greater than ever.
Israel Radio reported that PA Chairman [President] Mahmoud Abbas and
his senior aide Saeb Erekat are demanding that the Palestinian
factions respect the calm in the Gaza Strip. The radio reported
that Erekat asked the factions to extend the truce to the West Bank.
Yediot quoted Israeli experts as saying that the latest Qassam
rockets launched at Israel are more accurate and lethal than the
previous ones.
Over the past few days, leading media cited data published by the
Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies, according to which in 2020
Jews will constitute 60 percent of Jerusalem's population -- and
Arabs around 40 percent,
Maariv reported that, in a telephone conversation he held with
opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, French
president-elect Nicolas Sarkozy pledged not to allow Iran to develop
nuclear weapons. Maariv also quoted Arab newspapers as saying that
it was the Jews who had crowned Sarkozy as France's next president.
The Jerusalem Post reported that Arno Klarsfeld, the son of renowned
Nazi-hunters Serge and Beate Klarsfeld, is rumored to be the top
candidate to become minister of immigration and national identity
when Sarkozy chooses his cabinet in the coming weeks. Klarsfeld
acquired Israeli citizenship in 2002 and joined the Border Police.
He served at checkpoints around Bethlehem.
Leading media reported that on Tuesday, Hamas's military wing
threatened to kill abducted IDF soldier Gilad Shalit if Israel
carries out a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip.
Media cited Hamas's denial of the report.
Maariv reported that, in an independent move on Tuesday, FM Livni
met with Fausto Bertinotti, Speaker of Italy's Lower House of
Parliament, who had met with Hamas representatives. The newspaper
wrote that Olmert did not meet the foreign official
Ha'aretz found that, despite occasional friction between
Palestinians and Jewish settlers, Hebron is the West Bank's most
secure city.
Ha'aretz cited the belief of sources in the Finance Ministry that
Israel has a very good chance of being voted into the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The finance
ministers of the 30 OECD countries are due to meet on Tuesday and
Wednesday next week in Paris and are expected to decide in favor of
Israel's joining the organization. The list of candidates seeking
to join the OECD includes Chile, Brazil, Russia, China, India, South
Africa, Cyprus, and European countries that have recently joined the
EU. The organization last expanded its membership in 1995.
Ha'aretz wrote that Israeli Treasury sources describe the move as a
very important achievement for Israel, both economically and
diplomatically.
Maariv reported that last week, citing case of violence by
Palestinians, the IDF decided to ban bathing by Palestinians in the
Dead Sea. Those were the only beaches were the Palestinians had
been allowed to bathe.
The Jerusalem Post reported Israel Broadcasting Authority -- which
includes Israel TV and Israel Radio -- is seriously considering
closing its Washington bureau. The move has been spurred by an
urgent need to cut down on costs.
Yediot reported that Israel will donate 20 million shekels (around
USD 5 million) to aid organizations helping Darfur refugees.
Leading media cited the Transportation Ministry as saying on Tuesday
that Israeli airlines El Al and Arkia will receive special financial
aid from the government to continue operating regular flights to
Egypt and Jordan. El Al had threatened to discontinue flights to
those neighboring countries because they were unprofitable.
Ha'aretz quoted Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz as saying on
Tuesday: "The existence of regular flights to and from Egypt and
Jordan is of primary importance in the political sense.... Any
change or discontinuation could be construed as a violation of these
agreements, with all the far-reaching political repercussions
derived from that."
Yediot presented the results of a Mina Zemach (Dahaf Institute) poll
conducted among registered Labor Party voters:
-"Should Labor quit the government?" No: 55 percent; yes: 32
percent; 13 percent were undecided.
-"Who will you vote for [in the first round of] the Labor leadership
contest?" Ehud Barak: 32 percent; Ami Ayalon: 29 percent; Amir
Peretz: 18 percent; Ophir Pines-Paz: 11 percent. Danny Yatom: 3
percent; 7 percent were undecided.
-"Who will you vote for in the second round [of a Labor leadership
contest]: Ami Ayalon: 45 percent; Ehud Barak: 41 percent; 14 percent
were undecided.
Makor Rishon-Hatzofe reported on the results of a poll commissioned
by a branch of the Katzenelson Institute and carried out by the
polling institute Market Watch, to mark 40 years of Jerusalem's
reunification: 62 percent of Israeli are unwilling to renounce
Israel sovereignty on Jerusalem, but 78 percent of the public are
not prepared to move to the city.

The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized: "US Secretary
of State Condoleezza Rice, who canceled her planned visit to Israel,
realized something that has not been understood by ministers in [the
Israeli] government."
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized: "As
[Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni] rightfully noted, the government
isn't so much as discussing IDF pressure for action against the
rocket launchers, no plans are being reviewed, and no scenarios
examined."
Contributor Prof. Gerald Steinberg, who heads the Program on
Conflict Management at Bar-Ilan University and is the Executive
Director of NGO Monitor, wrote in The Jerusalem Post: "When Europe
begins to heal itself by rejecting the dominant myths and dealing
realistically with its own problems, relations with Israel will also
improve, to the benefit of both countries [sic]."
Block Quotes:

ΒΆI. "Contempt For the Public"
The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized (5/9): "US
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who canceled her planned visit
SIPDIS
to Israel, realized something that has not been understood by
ministers in a government desperately searching for a defense
minister to rescue it, a government in which the Foreign Minister is
demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister, and in which the
Finance Minister has been suspended from duty on suspicion of
stealing from the public purse. Even if the Winograd report were to
state that some of the military operations were pointless, aimed
only at creating the impression of victory where victory was nowhere
to be found, Ehud Olmert would not resign. Never before has
Israel's future so heavily depended on the veteran Labor Party, its
institutions and its members. It is no coincidence that Labor Chair
Amir Peretz was forced to draw conclusions about the war while
Olmert held his position. The internal struggle within Labor
reflects the clash between national responsibility and the hedonism
of power."
II. "Waiting For Disaster"
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized (5/9):
"It takes no uncommon acumen to realize that it's only a matter of
time before something dreadful happens in Sderot or elsewhere within
the range of Gaza's Qassam rockets.... Nevertheless, away from the
western Negev, there is barely any reaction. Qassam barrages are
reported as if they were routine, negligible phenomena. It is
eerily reminiscent of the equanimity with which accounts of massive
Hizbullah rearmament were greeted after the hasty pullout from
Lebanon in 2000 and until the outbreak of last summer's war. This
is precisely what Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni complained about soon
after [Monday's] kindergarten near-hit. As she rightfully noted,
the government isn't so much as discussing IDF pressure for action
against the rocket launchers, no plans are being reviewed, and no
scenarios examined. For all intents and purposes, it's business as
usual, even down to the habitual warning by Defense Minister Amir
Peretz (a Sderot resident) that 'Israel's restraint isn't
unlimited.' If a sudden -- though hardly unexpected -- catastrophe
occurs, the concern is that the ministers would be as clueless as on
July 12 and as ill-equipped to make intelligent choices.... Livni
and Olmert may now be busy goading each other, but her criticism
must not be dismissed."
III. "Where Europe Fails"
Contributor Prof. Gerald Steinberg, who heads the Program on
Conflict Management at Bar-Ilan University and is the Executive
Director of NGO Monitor, wrote in The Jerusalem Post (5/9): "While
Israel is outside the formal European political framework, the
influence of events and policies made in Paris, Brussels, London,
Stockholm and elsewhere is strongly felt. Avoiding their own
problems, Europeans preach the merits of multiculturalism and soft
power, and warn of the perils from 'nationalist Zionism,' while
denigrating Israeli democracy and shared cultural foundations. As a
result, the level of mutual distrust and lack of confidence between
Israel and Europe is greater than ever. Similarly, in their
enthusiasm for civil society,' European governments also provide the
funding for Israeli NGOs that claim to promote peace, democracy and
human rights, but often justify the demonization of Israel. In this
way, Europe sponsors the rhetoric of multiculturalism that is used
by [the Israeli-Arab civil rights groups] Adallah and Mossawa to
campaign for the dissolution of Israel. Although Israel is not free
of blame for the tension in the relationship, European responses
have gone far beyond constructive criticism, and the intense
political correctness has blocked an honest dialogue. When Europe
begins to heal itself by rejecting the dominant myths and dealing
realistically with its own problems, relations with Israel will also
improve, to the benefit of both countries [sic]. "
