-------------------------
Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
Yediot, Israel Radio, and other leading media quoted State
Department Spokesman Sean McCormack as saying in his daily briefing
on Monday that he would not expect Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice to travel to Israel and the Palestinian territories on her
upcoming trip next week as planned. McCormack mentioned the
political situation in Israel. Israel Radio quoted senior GOI
sources as saying that they were surprised by the cancellation of
Secretary Rice's visit. The radio quoted one senior Israeli source
SIPDIS
in Jerusalem as saying that the cancellation is "unprecedented" and
that people in the region might interpret the cancellation as
evidence that, because of the situation in Israel, the US
administration does not believe that the diplomatic process can be
moved forward. Israel Radio cited the belief of another GOI source
that Secretary Rice's visit was postponed by a few weeks.
IDF Radio quoted Dov Weisglass, who was former PM Ariel Sharon's top
advisor, as saying that Rice "has come to the conclusion that in the
current situation, the government's ability to make decisions of
significance is limited. She certainly does not want to waste her
time and to create or to draw gratuitous attention. Danny Ayalon,
formerly Israel's ambassador to the United States, told IDF Radio
that Secretary Rice's "disappointment is mainly with the
Palestinians. But, of course, the lack of political clarity here
does not contribute to the matter.
Ha'aretz reported that PM Ehud Olmert is conducting secret talks
with PA Chairman [President] Mahmoud Abbas. The newspaper wrote
that Olmert, in conversations with ministers and other political
figures recently, has hinted that he and Abbas have been holding
talks, but did not reveal the content or venue of the talks, or the
level of those involved. According to Ha'aretz, the people Olmert
spoke to say he expects significant political progress this summer.
The secret talks appear to be about state affairs, rather than
confidence building measures such as removing roadblocks and opening
passages.
The Jerusalem Post reported that on Monday Olmert intimated to
visiting German FM Frank-Walter Steinmeier that Israel would take
widespread military action in the Gaza Strip if a Qassam rocket
kills Israelis. Ha'aretz reported that the IDF's OC Southern
Command, Maj. Gen. Yoav Galant, recently presented a contingency
plan to the cabinet to counter the firing of Qassam rockets at
Israel from the Gaza Strip and thwart Palestinian efforts to
consolidate military power there. Palestinian militants have
launched a number of rockets into Israel recently, one of them
hitting a house in Sderot. The media reported that the IDF
responded by striking a vehicle that Islamic Jihad used for firing
rockets, wounding three militants. According to Ha'aretz, the
blueprint presented to the cabinet discusses engaging hostile forces
near the security fence surrounding the Strip and employing
remote-controlled weapons systems, rather than a ground operation to
purge the cities and refugee camps in and around Gaza of militants.
Galant reportedly listed five components for the plan: 1. Creating a
buffer zone on the Palestinian side of the fence separating the Gaza
Strip from Israel. 2. An escalation of retaliatory actions
following the firing of Qassam rockets to render launching the
rockets into Israel counterproductive by extracting a steep price
from the Palestinians. 3. The renewal of aerial assassinations of
high-ranking terrorists as well as Palestinians responsible for
firing Qassam rockets and arms smuggling. 4. Developing improved
technology for detecting and destroying tunnels employed for arms
smuggling. 5. Reinforcing intelligence capabilities. Ha'aretz
said that PM Olmert did not approve the IDF's proposals. He only
agreed to authorize a small expansion of the area within the Strip
in which the IDF is allowed to operate. In addition, Olmert will
convene the security cabinet next week for a hearing concerning the
amassing of military power by the Palestinian organizations in Gaza,
and the IDF's plans to counter it. Ha'aretz quoted political
sources as saying that the discussion was necessary because the
cabinet might be asked to authorize action in Gaza "at any given
moment." For that purpose, the sources were quoted as saying, the
ministers must be briefed in advance on the material. Yet senior
officials in the defense establishment believe that extensive action
in the Gaza Strip is unavoidable. Ha'aretz cited the US
administration's hope that the actions of Palestinian security
forces loyal to Abbas to foil terrorist activity could help avoid
this scenario.
The Jerusalem Post reported that Austrian Maj. Gen. Wolfgang Jilke,
commander of the UN force deployed along the Israeli-Syrian border,
told the newspaper that , while Syria is repairing its military
positions along the border with Israel, its army has not beefed up
its forces on the Golan Heights. Jilke, commander of the United
Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) responsible for
maintaining the cease-fire on the border, dismissed Israeli claims
of an unprecedented military buildup within Syria. The Jerusalem
Post reported that Israeli defense officials rejected Jilke's
assessment. All media reported that on Monday the head of Israel's
National Security Council, Ilan Mizrahi, told the Knesset's Foreign
Affairs and Defense Committee that Syria's move to restart the peace
process was authentic. "It is not clear whether they want peace or
whether they just want the peace process," he was quoted as saying.
"They are still figuring out how it will best serve them, but the
call for peace talks themselves is authentic." Maariv reported that
a few days ago Farid Razeri (sp.), a Syrian exile in Paris, who is a
strident opponent of Bashar Assad's regime, published a very
pro-Israel article on the Internet. Maariv reported that Razeri
confirmed his views in an interview to the newspaper,
Maariv reported that the Foreign Ministry has been working
stealthily on an "international campaign against Iran," which is to
be waged by Israeli diplomats across the world in keeping with a
list of tasks and detailed instructions that will be received from
Jerusalem. The campaign is currently in the final stages of
preparation. The person behind the idea and its execution is Aharon
Abramovitch, the Director General of the Foreign Ministry, who
received FM Tzipi Livni's approval. The planned campaign was
inspired by the international campaign that Israel waged against
Hizbullah, which was declared a resounding success and resulted in
Hizbullah being defined as a terrorist organization in many
countries and by the European Union.
Ha'aretz quoted an Olmert associate as saying on Monday that if the
Labor Party pulls out of the coalition after the May 28 party
primaries, Kadima will ask Likud to join if it agrees to an election
date, which will apparently be set for the end of 2008. The comment
came as Olmert and his aides begin preparing for the possibility of
a Labor withdrawal. All media reported that on Monday the
coalition survived three no-confidence votes, with some Kadima and
Labor Knesset members abstaining or absenting themselves from the
votes. Ha'aretz reported that former PM Ehud Barak is contemplating
joining Olmert's cabinet. Ha'aretz reported that an internal survey
among Labor members carried out by Barak's staff indicated that the
party's members want to remain in the coalition. Ha'aretz quoted
senior Kadima members as saying that Olmert is weighing naming
Construction and Housing Minister Meir Sheetrit (Kadima) finance
minister.
Ha'aretz reported that FM Livni will head to Cairo on Thursday to
meet with Egyptian and Jordanian leaders, who are interested in
"marketing" the Arab peace initiative to Israel. During her visit,
Livni is expected to meet with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
Media reported on Livni's talks with German FM Steinmeier. Livni
mentioned the Qassam rocket attacks against Israel and Steinmeier
was quoted as saying that Germany will do everything it can to
advance the diplomatic process and minimize the scope of violence in
the region. The Jerusalem Post reported that PM Olmert stressed
Saudi Arabia's positive role to Steinmeier.
The Jerusalem Post reported that Abbas has failed to persuade Hamas
and most Palestinian factions to accept the latest US plan for
easing restrictions and improving security for Israel. The
newspaper wrote that the "benchmark" plan has also been rejected by
some of Abbas's top aides and political allies. The Jerusalem Post
reported that on Sunday Abbas praised the US plan.
Yediot reported that Olmert will meet with Jordan's King Abdullah II
in Petra next week.
Maariv reported that, six years after the closure of the Moroccan
representation in Israel, Morocco's King Mohamed VI recently
appointed an unofficial ambassador to Israel -- Serge Berdugo, the
head of Morocco's Jewish community and a former tourism minister of
that country. Maariv also reported on growing Jewish and Israeli
pilgrimages and tourist visits to Tunisia.
Yediot and The Jerusalem Post quoted French president-elect Nicolas
Sarkozy as saying on Monday, in a phone conversation with PM Olmert,
that he is a friend of Israel, which can rely on his friendship.
The Jerusalem Post reported that French Ambassador to Israel
Jean-Michel Casa told the newspaper on Monday that, with Sarkozy's
election, "there will be new progress and new steps forward in
French-Israeli relations." The Jerusalem Post cited the French
Foreign Ministry as saying that Sarkozy received a higher percentage
of votes from French citizens in Israel than from expatriates in any
other country. The French ministry said that 90.7 percent of French
citizens living in Israel outside of Jerusalem voted for Sarkozy,
significantly higher than the 53 percent of the votes he garnered in
France. The Jerusalem Post noted that 71.5 percent of the French
voting in Lebanon voted for Sarkozy, an indication that just as
Israelis view him as pro-Israeli, French Lebanese seem to view him
as pro-Lebanese. (In the US, Sarkozy won just under 64 percent of
absentee ballots.)
All media reported that on Monday the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
announced that the grave and tomb of Herod the Great, the
Roman-appointed king of Judea (37Q4 BCE), have been discovered at
the fortress Herodian (or Herodium) in the Judean desert.
All media reported on the recrudescence of anti-Semitic attacks in
Russia and Ukraine over the past two weeks.
All media (banner in Yediot) reported that on Monday the rate of the
US dollar dropped to its lowest point in seven years: 3.998 shekels.
Leading economic commentators called to detach common dollar-linked
payments, such as real estate prices, from the US currency.
Ha'aretz presented the results of Tel Aviv University's Peace Index
poll conducted among Israelis on April 30 and May 1:
- The number of those in the Jewish public who now justify the
Second Lebanon War is in fact lower than last summer, but a clear
majority of 57 percent still define the war as justified (38 percent
consider it to have been unjustified and the rest have no clear
opinion).
- A small majority (52.5 percent) believes the main faults
identified in the Winograd report will be addressed, whereas 38
percent do not think so. However, the gap between those who think
the report exposed all the main problems (46 percent) and those who
believe it failed to address significant issues (38 percent) is not
large. According to the survey organizers, this indicates a not
inconsiderable degree of suspicion toward a commission appointed by
the PM -- a suspicion apparently rooted in the profound distrust of
the establishment and of the political leadership. Some 68 percent
also believe that if those responsible do not resign willingly,
there will be a wave of civil protest demanding their resignation.
Furthermore, 38 percent -- an extremely high rate considering that
it is usually a minority that participates in protests of this kind
-- say they will take part in such a protest if it erupts (58
percent say they will not participate).

Summary:
--------
Former Israeli Ambassador to the UN and conservative contributor Dr.
Dore Gold wrote in the mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot:
"Like Israel, Saudi Arabia wants to curb the Iranian takeover of the
region, but it is not prepared to strengthen moderate Palestinian
elements at the expense of Hamas or to reach an open dialogue with
Israel."
Military correspondent Amir Rappaport wrote in the popular,
pluralist Maariv: "Israel has the moral obligation to make sure that
every one of its citizens knows that its leaders did their utmost to
prevent [war with Syria]."
Military correspondent Yaakov Katz wrote on page one of the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post: "The growing consensus in
the defense establishment is that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will be
extremely careful and hesitant before sending Israel back to war
[with Syria]."

¶I. "Was There an Initiative?"
Former Israeli Ambassador to the UN and conservative contributor Dr.
Dore Gold wrote in the mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot
(5/8): "It may be assumed that the Olmert government, which is under
heavy domestic pressure, will find a way to revive the diplomatic
process -- among other reasons: to create a political agenda. The
search for a diplomatic initiative is legitimate, provided it is
based on a proper reading of the regional reality... [Saudi King
Abdullah] has recently declined to meet with Iraqi Prime Minister
Nuri Al-Maliki, thus again slapping in the face of the US
administration, because Al-Maliki is considered a pro-American
leader..... One must ask the question about how the United States
can lead a diplomatic move between Israel and Saudi Arabia when
Riyadh-Washington relations are so fragile. Furthermore, it is
astounding to see how [Condoleezza] Rice has represented a Saudi
stance that is open to negotiations with Israel, when the Saudi King
has made strong anti-Western statements.... Indeed, like Israel,
Saudi Arabia wants to curb the Iranian takeover of the region, but
it is not prepared to strengthen moderate Palestinian elements at
the expense of Hamas or to reach an open dialogue with Israel.
Thus, the hope that the Saudi initiative could be adopted might
fizzle."
II. "Yes, Talk with the Syrians"
Military correspondent Amir Rappaport wrote in the popular,
pluralist Maariv (5/8): "The answer to the dilemma of whether to
respond affirmatively to the Syrian call for peace negotiations is
simple..... Even prior to statements made [on Monday by the head of
Israel's National Security Council, Ilan] Mizrahi, the balance of
calculations was already in favor of holding negotiations. And the
reason is not necessarily because there are high chances of
achieving a peace agreement with Syria. On the contrary, [Mossad
Director Meir] Dagan is probably right and Assad is interested in
negotiations for the sake of the talks only and not for reaching an
agreement. What counts is the damage: if we hold negotiations with
Syria that do not lead anywhere, in other words, what is most likely
to happen is that we will be back at the same point we are today,
that is not as terrible as willingly passing on negotiations that
have even the smallest chance of success, and then we reach going to
war. Furthermore, if Israel is fated to fight another war with
Syria, Israel has the moral obligation to make sure that every one
of its citizens knows that its leaders did their utmost to prevent
it."
III. "Assessing Syria's True Intentions a Tricky Task"
Military correspondent Yaakov Katz wrote on page one of the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post (5/8): "In Israel, there is
a real concern about the prospects of war with Syria. Defense
officials are predicting that should another round with Hizbullah
erupt, it would not remain isolated to Lebanon. And unlike last
summer when it watched from the sidelines, Damascus will be forced
to join the fray,... The growing consensus in the defense
establishment is that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will be extremely
careful and hesitant before sending Israel back to war. While the
Knesset announcement [made on Monday by the head of Israel's
National Security Council, Ilan] Mizrahi, could be per Olmert's
bidding as part of an effort to lay the ground for a new diplomatic
initiative vis a vis the Syrians, it may also be an attempt on
Mizrahi's part to prevent war and to urge his boss to answer the
Syrian overtures."

¶2. Iran:
---------
Summary:
--------
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized: "If
France championed draconian sanctions against Iran, it could almost
single-handedly lead Europe in avoiding both the need for Western
military action against Tehran."
Block Quotes:
-------------
"Sarkozy's Opportunity"
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized (5/8):
"The great majority of French Jews and French-Israeli dual citizens
voted for the victor in Sunday's presidential runoff, Nicolas
Sarkozy. It is not just the Jewish people, however, who should be
encouraged by the results and wishing the president-elect every
success, but the citizens of France and of all free nations.... The
notion of the last few decades that France advanced its own
interests by almost reflexively opposing the US and siding with the
Arab world against Israel has not done well for France or for the
world. It was a conceit more than a rational policy. Certainly, in
today's world, it has shifted from being merely indulgent to posing
real dangers for international security. Today, the Free World is
facing a threat from Islamo-fascist regimes and their terrorist
allies that demands solidarity among nations that are under attack.
Sarkozy himself has said that an Iranian nuclear weapon is
unacceptable, and that sanctions must be tightened.... France knows
better than most nations the price of not standing up to aggressive
tyrants in time. If France championed draconian sanctions against
Iran, it could almost single-handedly lead Europe in avoiding both
the need for Western military action against Tehran, and the threat
of living under a growing nuclear and terrorist shadow. There is no
better way to restore French leadership and pride."

¶3. PM Olmert's Performance:
----------------------------
Summary:
--------
"The Danger Inherent in Closing One's Eyes"
Senior columnist Dan Margalit wrote in the popular, pluralist
Maariv: "[The Israeli Left] does not care about the government
having failed; about the fact that it went to a rational war but
eroded Israel's deterrence because of its blinking policy."
Block Quotes:
-------------
"The Danger in Closing One's Eyes"
Senior columnist Dan Margalit wrote in the popular, pluralist Maariv
(5/8): "[The Israeli Left] does not care about the government having
failed; about the fact that it went to a rational war but eroded
Israel's deterrence because of its blinking policy: neither war nor
peace, neither invasion nor restraint.... Neither does it care about
how much corruption is piling up under the regime's desk.... The
person who understood the significance of corruption in the collapse
of the government is Arieh Eldad of National Union [a far-Right
opposition party]. Speaking in Tel Aviv a week ago, the Professor
and Knesset Member said that he had learned some lessons. He is
unwilling to accept from a corrupt government even a decision to
establish new settlements in Judea and Samaria [i.e. the West Bank],
which he so fervently longs for.
