Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
All media highlighted comments made by President Bush
at his joint White House press conference with PM Ehud
Olmert on Tuesday: "Today, Prime Minister Olmert shared
with me some of his ideas. I would call them bold
ideas. These ideas could lead to a two-state solution
if a pathway to progress on the road map is not opened
in the period ahead." President Bush was also quoted
as saying: "The Prime Minister and I shared our
concerns about the Iranian regime's nuclear weapons
ambitions.... Israel is a close friend and ally of the
United States. And in the event of any attack on
Israel, the United States will come to Israel's aid.
Israel Radio reported that Olmert's associates were
extremely satisfied with President Bush's remarks.
The media quoted Olmert as saying at the news
conference: "I intend to exhaust every possibility to
promote peace with the Palestinians according to the
road map, and I extend my hand in peace to Mahmoud
Abbas, the elected President of the Palestinian
Authority.... Despite our sincere desire for
negotiations, we cannot wait indefinitely for the
Palestinians to change. We cannot be held hostage by a
terrorist entity which refuses to change or to promote
dialogue." The Jerusalem Post's website quoted Olmert
as saying after his meeting with President Bush that he
was "very satisfied" with the understanding he reached
concerning his plan for possible unilateral withdrawal
from parts of the West Bank. In a briefing with
Israeli reporters after the meeting, Olmert stressed
that Bush's remarks about his plan, calling Olmert's
ideas "bold" and "important steps towards peace," were
made in a "very clear and remarkable way". Israel
Radio quoted officials at Abbas's bureau as saying that
Olmert's remarks were not encouraging. Israel Radio
noted that unlike his predecessor Ariel Sharon, Olmert
called Abbas the "President of the PA."
The Jerusalem Post quoted diplomatic sources in
Washington as saying that the US will seek
international support before endorsing PM Olmert's plan
for unilateral withdrawal from parts of the West Bank.
The sources were quoted as saying that President Bush
was not yet ready to back the unilateral Israeli move,
though he does not oppose it. Media reported that at
the press conference, Olmert called his plan a "process
of realignment." Ha'aretz reported that author and
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel helped write the
speech that PM Olmert will give before a joint session
of Congress today.
The media reported that on Monday, Olmert met with
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and National
SIPDIS
Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, and on Tuesday with
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, whom, according to
Ha'aretz, he told that it was time to put the deals
with China in the past. Yediot and other media quoted
Secretary Rice as saying in an interview with Al
SIPDIS
Arabiya-TV that Olmert does not have a plan yet and
that he only wants to share some of his ideas with the
President.
Retiring Deputy Chief Justice Mishael Cheshin was
quoted as saying in an interview with Ha'aretz:
"[Chief] Justice Aharon Barak is ready for 30, 50
people to be blown up, but we will have human rights.
I am not ready for that. He thinks that; I think
differently. To my great happiness, I am in the
majority.... I am not ready to take a risk. Not at
[Netanya's] Park Hotel and not in Haifa and not in
buses that blow up in Tel Aviv. Why should I take a
risk? However you look at it, we are dealing with an
enemy state." Justice Cheshin was referring to the
ruling two weeks ago by the High Court of Justice on
family reunification. This morning, IDF Radio said
that Cheshin apologized for his comments about Barak,
saying they were made in the heat of the moment.
Ha'aretz, The Jerusalem Post, and Hatzofe reported that
on Tuesday, the House of Representatives approved, 361-
37, the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act [also known as
H.R. 4681].
The Jerusalem Post reported that a European diplomatic
official told the newspaper Tuesday that Palestinian PM
Ismail Haniyeh's comment in his interview with Ha'aretz
this week that peace was possible if Israel withdrew to
the 1967 lines was a step toward recognizing Israel's
right to exist, and was likely timed to coincide with a
meeting of EU officials in Brussels.
Leading media quoted Defense Minister Amir Peretz as
saying Tuesday that he intends to begin evacuating
illegal settler outposts in the near future. Ha'aretz,
Yediot, and The Jerusalem Post quoted Peretz as saying:
"Illegal settlers don't bring honor, or support the
Israeli population in the territories." Ha'aretz
reported that on Tuesday, Jews occupied two apartments
in the Matityahu East neighborhood in Modi'in Illit in
contravention of a ruling by the High Court of Justice.
Maariv reported that the Kadima leadership intends to
transfer the budget of the World Zionist Organization's
settlement department to fund the convergence plan and
develop the Negev and Galilee. The organization, which
was controlled by the Right and which is most likely to
pass into the hands of Kadima, used to channel 100
million shekels (around USD 22 million) annually into
construction in the territories.
Leading media quoted IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz as
saying Tuesday before the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and
Defense Committee that he would not recommend occupying
the Gaza Strip in response to Qassam rocket attacks on
Israeli communities, and that the defense establishment
is making a great effort to find technological
solutions to better contend with the Qassam rockets
from the Gaza Strip, of which 72 percent land within
Israel. The Jerusalem Post quoted Halutz as saying
that terrorists are smuggling tons of TNT into Israel
from Sinai. Ha'aretz, Maariv, and The Jerusalem Post
cited the Egyptian Interior Ministry as saying Tuesday
that Yousri Mohareb, a man named by the Egyptian
authorities as a member of a group behind bomb attacks
in Sinai, received weapons and bomb-making training in
the Palestinian territories.
Leading media reported that on Tuesday, the High Court
of Justice approved the route of the separation fence
between Ma'aleh Adumim and the Palestinian village of
Azariyeh and along the roads leading to the city.
Last night, Channel 10-TV reported that on Tuesday,
Iran again test-launched a Shihab-3 missile with a
1,300-km range. Maariv said this was a signal to the
US -- and Yediot to Israel as well. Yediot and Maariv
reported that Israel is developing Tomahawk -like
cruise missiles.
Hatzofe quoted Hizbullah Secretary-General Sheikh
Hassan Nasrallah as saying Tuesday that his
organization has thousands of rockets that can strike
any military or civilian target in northern Israel.
Ha'aretz reported that tomorrow, in Ramallah and the
Gaza Strip, Hamas, Fatah, and other Palestinian
factions are due to open a national dialogue on the
future of the PA.
Italian FM Massimo D'Alema was quoted as saying Tuesday
in an interview with Maariv that Israeli concerns about
him are not justified and that he is committed to
Israel's security.
Major media reported that according to the annual
Amnesty International report, released Tuesday, there
was a marked drop in violence between Israelis and
Palestinians in 2005, although there was a continuation
of attacks by both sides. According to the report,
some 190 Palestinians, including around 50 children,
were killed by the IDF, and 50 Israelis, including six
children, were killed by Palestinian armed groups. The
report states that many of the Palestinian casualties
"were killed unlawfully, in deliberate and reckless
shootings, shelling and air strikes in densely
populated residential areas, or as a result of
excessive use of force." The report also cites IDF
blockades and attacks of Palestinians by the IDF and
settlers.
Ha'aretz, The Jerusalem Post, and other media cited
statistics released Tuesday by the Jerusalem Institute
for Israel Studies, according to which some 59 percent
of Jerusalem residents, 413,000 Jews and Arabs, live in
areas of the city that came under Israeli rule after
the Six-Day War. Forty-four percent of those 413,000
residents -- 182,000 people -- are Jews, and 56 percent
are Arab. The Arabs living in the post-1967 areas
constitute 98 percent of the city's Arab population,
while Jews living in those sections constitute 39
percent of the Jewish population.
The Jerusalem Post reported that on Tuesday, in an
effort to broaden Israel's overseas support, the
Knesset's Christian Allies Caucus launched in
international women's council that will work to bring
female Christian and Jewish supporters of Israel
together.
Ha'aretz reported that in recent years, Jewish donors
have established Israel studies centers in the US, and
to a lesser extent in Europe. At least 12 such centers
and institutes -- nine in the US and one each in
Canada, Germany, and Russia -- exist. The newspaper
quoted academics in the US, Europe, and Israel as
saying that the reason is political -- following the
hesitation to link with Israeli institutions of higher
education due to calls for an academic boycott,
opposition to the occupation, the discrimination of
Palestinian citizens of Israel, and other motives.
Yediot reported that preparations are intensifying for
moving former PM Ariel Sharon next week to the
rehabilitation hospital at Sheba Medical Center, Tel
Hashomer, in the Tel Aviv area.
All media (banner in Yediot) extensively reported that
on Tuesday, Police Commissioner Moshe Karadi and 12
other senior law officials received warning letters
from the Zeiler Committee, which was appointed to
review the bungling of a murder case involving the
Parinyan crime family. Letters of warning are usually
issued when there is a significant chance that an
indictment will follow.

Summary:
--------
Senior columnist Nahum Barnea, at this time a research
fellow at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at
the Brookings Institution, wrote from Washington in
mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot: "The [US]
administration is adopting Olmert's plan
[conditionally].... This is a very far-reaching gesture
... towards Israel's prime minister."
Diplomatic correspondent Aluf Benn wrote in the
Internet edition of independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz:
"For Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, there were many good
reasons to be satisfied with his first meeting with US
President George W. Bush."
Arab affairs commentator Danny Rubinstein wrote in
Ha'aretz: "[Israelis] who are not asking for any favors
from the Palestinians ... should adopt a positive
attitude toward Haniyeh and his stance."
Conservative columnist Yosef Harif wrote in popular,
pluralist Maariv: "In light of the great opposition,
inwardly and outwardly, and the deep cracks that have
been revealed in the [convergence] plan, Israel should
seek an arrangement that is based on a reciprocal
agreement."
Zalman Shoval, senior Likud member and former
ambassador to the US, wrote in Yediot Aharonot: "Arab
[peace] initiatives must be blocked before they gather
momentum."

¶I. "His Great Day"
Senior columnist Nahum Barnea, at this time a research
fellow at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at
the Brookings Institution, wrote from Washington in
mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot (5/24):
"Ehud Olmert has good reason to feel good this morning.
He is leaving Washington with a good part of his
expectations fulfilled.... In fact, the administration
is adopting Olmert's plan on the condition that it is
raised only after a clear and convincing step is taken
of examining the possibility of negotiations with Abu
Mazen. This is a very far-reaching gesture by the Bush
administration towards Israel's prime minister. It is
not every day that the President of the US stands
alongside an Israeli prime minister who announces that
Israel is determined to reorganize the settlements into
settlement blocs within the West Bank territories. If
on the topic of convergence the Americans listened to
Olmert a great deal, on the Iranian issue they expected
him to listen to them. The message they conveyed was
simple: at this stage, it would be best for Israel to
keep a low profile concerning Iran Israel must not
act alone."
II. "George Bush Wants the Convergence Plan Too"
Diplomatic correspondent Aluf Benn wrote in the
Internet edition of independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz
(5/24): "For Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, there were
many good reasons to be satisfied with his first
meeting with US President George W. Bush. In the press
conference that followed their first round of talks,
Bush warmly adopted Olmert's initiatives for an
extensive withdrawal in the West Bank, terming them
'bold ideas' that 'could be an important step' to
peace. The president also pledged that the United
States would hasten to Israel's defense in the event of
an attack by Iran, and, no less important to Olmert,
stressed the personal relationship between them.... In
anticipation of the visit, Olmert, his cabinet and the
White House had all lowered their respective
expectations -- effectively convincing the media that
Bush's support for the convergence plan would be
lukewarm, and that Iran would be the central topic of
the meeting. These lowered expectations served as an
agreeable backdrop for Bush's supportive statements,
fortified by Olmert's allusion to the fact that Bush
had been the first world leader to support former prime
minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan."
III. "The Two Sides of Haniyeh"
Arab affairs commentator Danny Rubinstein wrote in
Ha'aretz (5/24): "[Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail
Haniyeh] allows his ministers to meet with Israeli
officials on such matters so as to improve the quality
of life in the West Bank and Gaza. However, Haniyeh
has shown no sign of compromise on the fundamental
issues. He does not officially recognize Israel or the
legitimacy of the Jewish state, nor does he allow
political negotiations with what he considers to be the
occupying power.... How should Israelis react to
Haniyeh's position? Those who think Haniyeh wants to
maintain contact with Israel on day-to-day issues in
order to become stronger and ultimately destroy the
Jewish state when he believes he is capable of doing so
should completely reject what he has to offer. And
those who are not asking for any favors from the
Palestinians -- who don't care if they recognize Israel
and will be satisfied if the Palestinians get used to
coexistence without violence -- should adopt a positive
attitude toward Haniyeh and his stance."
IV. "An Agreement All the Same"
Conservative columnist Yosef Harif wrote in popular,
pluralist Maariv (5/24): "The charm [of Olmert's
convergence plan] is now being eroded, and not only
because of the negative position of the international
community. The daily Qassam rocket fire at the Negev
communities from the territories evacuated in Gush
Katif, is a cause of great concern. This week, it was
reported widely that Al Qaida has penetrated the Gaza
Strip, and that Iran plans to supply the terrorists
with weaponry. This reality increases the fear that a
similar future can be expected for the territories that
stand to be evacuated in Judea and Samaria [i.e. the
West Bank], and that the withdrawal will create a new
terrorist state on our eastern border. The concept of
'permanent borders,' which can supposedly be attained
unilaterally, also lies under a great question mark.
The plan gives the Palestinians most of the territories
of Judea and Samaria -- after they have already
received the Gaza Strip -- without an agreement that
will lead to an end of the conflict. In time, if the
Palestinians agree to make peace, they will probably
not settle for the territories that have been
evacuated, and Israel will face heavy pressure to carry
out further withdrawals. In light of the great
opposition, inwardly and outwardly, and the deep cracks
that have been revealed in the plan, Israel should seek
an arrangement that is based on a reciprocal
agreement."
¶V. "Same Old Story"
Zalman Shoval, senior Likud member and former
ambassador to the US, wrote in Yediot Aharonot (5/24):
"An important element in the Arab-Palestinian strategy
is resurrecting the peace initiative of Abdullah, the
former Saudi heir apparent who is now the king. 'If we
can succeed in causing Hamas to adopt this initiative,
all the reservations that Israel and the world have
against it should disappear,' said the Arab speakers
[at a policy discussion I recently attended at the
Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington], reminding the US
that it also supported the initiative in the past.
Apparently, the hints that the Hamas leadership could
support the position paper prepared in prison by [Fatah
leader] Marwan Barghouti are also part of this move.
The aforesaid Arab initiative does speak about the
possibility of normalizing relations between Israel and
the Arab world, but it makes this contingent upon
preconditions that place Israel's very existence in
question. For example, consent to UN Resolution 194 on
the Palestinian refugees, which is no more than the
'right of return' in another guise, and [consent] to a
complete withdrawal from all territories seized by
Israel in 1967, including East Jerusalem and the new
neighborhoods around Jerusalem, and of course all the
settlements in Judea and Samaria [i.e. the West Bank].
These Arab initiatives must be blocked before they
gather momentum."

¶2. Iran:
---------
Summary:
--------
Columnist Arnon Yafe wrote in ultra-Orthodox Yated
Ne'eman: "Iran will develop an atom bomb within ten
years. How does [the CIA] get along without agents in
Iran?"
Block Quotes:
-------------
"The CIA Kills Snakes Instead of Drying Up the Ponds of
Terror."
Columnist Arnon Yafe wrote in ultra-Orthodox Yated
Ne'eman (5/24): "The CIA, which employs thousands of
agents, no longer fulfills its duty. Its staff can no
longer present the President of the US with information
and analysis that would allow him to know how and where
to deploy diplomatic and military personnel. Iran will
develop an atom bomb within ten years. How does [the
CIA] get along without agents in Iran?... Spying
missions are slowly shifting to the Pentagon.... Deep
strategic analysis is lacking -- this is a life-and-
death question, because wars are also a result of
intelligence failure, as was the case during the Yom
Kippur War."
----------------------------------
¶3. Former Republic of Yugoslavia:
----------------------------------
Summary:
--------
Shlomo Avineri, Hebrew University Professor of
Political Science and former director-general of the
Foreign Ministry, wrote in the conservative,
independent Jerusalem Post: "Serbia needs reassurance
and a time to rebuild its society.... This can be done
only if Kosovo becomes independent."
Block Quotes:
-------------
"Next -- Independence For Kosovo"
Shlomo Avineri, Hebrew University Professor of
Political Science and former director-general of the
Foreign Ministry, wrote in the conservative,
independent Jerusalem Post (5/24): "On Sunday, a
majority of the voters in Montenegro opted for
independence and for severing the remaining tenuous
links that bound them to Serbia.... Serbia needs
reassurance and a time to rebuild its society. A
generous European policy, paving the way for a
relatively quick entry into the EU, could be a way to
assuage Serbian sensibilities, help underpin its
transition to democracy and wean it from its hegemonic
memories. But all this can be done only if Kosovo
becomes independent. Serbian rule over Kosovo Albanians
was the last colonial rule in Europe; NATO put an end
to it. Now the outcome -- independence -- has to be
granted international legitimacy. There is no other
way."
