Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
All media reported that in a speech at the opening of the Knesset's
winter session, PM Ehud Olmert said that the "Lebanon campaign"
underlined the threat a nuclear Iran would pose for the "region and
the entire free world." Olmert invited Lebanese PM Fouad Siniora to
begin peace talks. Siniora rebuffed the offer. Ha'aretz quoted
Siniora as saying that Israel should first withdraw from the Sheba
Farms. The media also reported that Olmert offered to resume talks
with PA Chairman [President] Mahmoud Abbas, based on the Roadmap.
Ha'aretz and The Jerusalem Post reported that Abbas did not get a
green light from the Fatah leadership to fire the Hamas-led
government and call new elections or form a cabinet of technocrats.
Israel Radio cited the London-based Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat as saying
that Egypt's intelligence chief Omar Suleiman told Khaled Mashal,
the head of Hamas's political bureau, that Hamas should give up
power in the PA and supervise it from outside. Ha'aretz reported
that a group of Labor and Meretz Knesset members met in East
Jerusalem Friday with Yasser Abed Rabbo, a close associate of Abbas.
Ha'aretz said that the Knesset members decided to establish a
multi-party parliamentary lobby for renewing diplomatic talks
between Israel and the Palestinians.
Ha'aretz reported that the Jerusalem District Prosecutor's Office
has begun formulating the indictment that will be submitted against
Israeli President Moshe Katsav. Leading media speculated on
Katsav's succession. Leading media reported that former Knesset
Speaker MK Reuven ("Rubi") Rivlin, Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv and
former Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, Labor MK Colette
Avital, Likud MK Natan Sharansky, and Vice PM Shimon Peres are the
leading candidates for the position. The Jerusalem Post quoted
political sources as saying that Olmert's preferred candidate to
succeed President Katsav, Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center
President Amnon Rubinstein, has decided to turn down an offer from
Olmert to run on the presidential ticket.
Israel Radio reported that an Islamic Jihad activist was killed in a
clash with IDF troops in Qabatiyeh south of Jenin. The radio
mentioned further fighting in the territories.
Maariv reported that Syria is dispensing money to various groups of
Druze in the Golan Heights to strengthen its influence in the
occupied territory. Maariv said that this is part of a broader plan
to deepen the Syrian administration's connection with the Golan
Druze. The newspaper wrote that the man in charge of Syria's
program for the "annexation from afar" of the Golan is Madhat Salah,
who speaks Hebrew and is considered in charge of Golan affairs in
the Syrian government.
Yediot reported that Israel has rejected a proposal by the US and
European states to provide intelligence from their spy satellites in
exchange for the cessation of Israeli overflights in Lebanon.
Ha'aretz and Maariv reported that Defense Minister Amir Peretz told
the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Monday that the
commanders of the French contingent in UNIFIL (UN Interim Force in
Lebanon) have warned that if Israeli warplanes continue their
overflights in Lebanon, they may have to open fire on them.
Ha'aretz said that Peretz told members of the committee that despite
the warnings, Israel would continue to patrol the skies over Lebanon
as long as UN Security Council Resolution 1701 remained unfulfilled,
adding that such operations were critical for the country's
security, especially as the abducted IDF soldiers remain in
Hizbullah custody and the transfer of arms continues. Over the past
few days, Peretz said, Israel had gathered clear evidence that Syria
was transferring arms and ammunition to Lebanon, meaning that the
embargo imposed by UN Resolution 1701 was not being completely
enforced. Peretz was quoted as saying that Israel plans to inform
the joint committee of representatives of UNIFIL, the IDF, and the
Lebanese Army that unless the arms transfers are stopped, Israel
will be forced to take independent action. Turning to the situation
in the Gaza Strip, Peretz said that Israel could under no
circumstances allow the Strip to be turned into a second South
Lebanon. According to Peretz, the time when Israel used to check
who was sending every missile is over, and the IDF is intent on
striking at every terrorist no matter what organization he belongs
to. Maariv quoted Abu Obeydeh, the head of Hamas's military wing,
as saying that should the IDF invade the Strip, Hamas would destroy
its tanks. Hatzofe quoted Brig. Gen. Yossi Baidatz, the head of IDF
Intelligence's research department, as saying before the Knesset's
Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that Hamas is building a
fortified underground system in the Strip.
Ha'aretz reported that Israeli authorities are refusing entry to
Palestinian-Americans arriving in buses from Jordan at the Allenby
Bridge border crossing. The newspaper quoted State Department
Spokesman Sean McCormack as saying during his daily briefing on
October 12 that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will discuss
with Israeli officials the issue of entry to Israel of Americans of
Palestinian origin.
Ha'aretz and Yediot reported that Russia has told Israel that it
intends to tighten its export control on arms. The media reported
that Olmert will start a two-day official visit to Moscow today.
The talks will focus on Russia's nuclear cooperation with Iran and
the UN Security Council's difficulties in imposing sanctions on
Tehran.
Yediot and Israel Radio reported that Israel and NATO are increasing
their cooperation. Israel will help NATO to carry out naval patrols
in the Mediterranean Sea in accordance with an agreement that both
parties signed Monday. Israel is the first country that has signed
such an agreement with the organization. Connections between NATO
and Israel were strengthened following the visit of the
organization's director, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, to Israel and the
visit of a delegation of Knesset members to NATO's headquarters in
Brussels.
Yediot reported that Hizbullah has started a web site in substandard
Hebrew.
Major media reported that on Monday, Supreme Court President Dorit
Beinisch decided that an extended panel of the High Court of Justice
will rule whether to accept petitions calling for the cancellation
of the Winograd Committee and the establishment of a state
commission of inquiry into the war in Lebanon. Leading media
reported that the team investigating the attack on the Israeli naval
vessel during the war in the North has lambasted the performance
both of the ship's commanders and the heads of the Israel Navy.
Yediot and The Jerusalem Post reported that the heads of the
Immigrant Absorption Ministry will travel this week to the US and
Canada to attend conferences with "thousands" of expatriate Israelis
in order to convince them to return to Israel. The Jerusalem Post
stressed the share of Israelis from the former Soviet Union in that
population.
All major media reported that on Monday the Knesset marked the 20th
anniversary of MIA navigator Ron Arad's disappearance in southern
Lebanon.
The Jerusalem Post cited a recommendation to investors by the US
financial powerhouse Merrill Lynch Monday that they "park their
money in Israel by year-end to protect themselves from what is
expected to be another round of emerging-market volatility. Major
media reported that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to Israel
reached an all-time high in 2005, hitting USD 5.6 billion. Such was
reported by the annual World Investment Report published by the UN
Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Israel, according to
the report, ranks 23rd in terms of attractiveness for foreign
investors, but is only in the 63rd slot when it comes to realizing
this potential. The report also shows that FDI in the financial
sector amounts to 26 percent of all capital in the Israeli market.
This is up from 20 percent in 2003.
Ha'aretz quoted conservative Israeli-American Professor Israel
Aumann, who won the Nobel Prize for Economics last year, as saying
in an address he delivered this week at the Judea and Samaria
College in the West Bank that Israel may not be capable of
continuing to exist in the long term. Aumann said that Olmert's
statement that Israel is tired of wars and sacrifices was a sign of
national fatigue that manifested itself in the recent war in Lebanon
and could turn fatal for Israel.
Georgia's Ambassador to Israel was quoted as saying in an interview
with Maariv that Russia treats his country like the Nazis.

¶I. "Advanced Spin"
Diplomatic correspondent Aluf Benn wrote on page one of the
independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz (10/17): "Comparing Olmert's
speech at the opening of the Knesset's term] Monday to the one that
introduced his government in the Knesset, on May 4, reveals highly
significant differences. Then his top priority was setting the
border between Israel and the Palestinians, with or without an
agreement. Now the Prime Minister has far more pressing matters to
attend to: changing the system of government, introducing a
constitution and rendering the political system more stable. All
these matters are not even hinted at in the guidelines of the Olmert
government, nor were they included in his inaugural speech in
May.... All of Olmert's innovations and surprises share a common
motive: his desire to survive and expand the coalition, to guarantee
the budget passes and to inoculate himself against rebellions and
ambushes by the Labor Party. The lesson of Monday's speech is that
Olmert's positions change due to political contingency. His
extollers will call him pragmatic, while rivals will say this is
Ehud in flip-flop."
II. "Pragmatism is Dangerous"
Uri Savir, President of the Peres Center for Peace, wrote in the
popular, pluralist Maariv (10/17): "It seems that we currently have
a government and a prime minister whose comportment conforms to a
pragmatic world view and a 'balanced' approach to administering
state affairs. Prima facie, that sounds reasonable but, actually,
many dangers lurk therein. Israel cannot afford to adopt so
bureaucratic an approach, which will lead it to viewing every issue
as it were a coin that has two sides to it and, by so doing, to doom
itself to a state of diplomatic deadlock..... The government's
pragmatic-bureaucratic approach needs to be replaced with the
ideological approach of a leader. We need to clarify what our
fundamental values and goals are, and those will serve as a compass
to direct the government's course of action in the following
critical areas: The Palestinian issue: We need to terminate, above
all, the occupation. It is immoral, it exacerbates hatred and
radicalism. Hence, we need to take action to find shortcuts in the
Roadmap and to reach final status arrangement negotiations with Abu
Mazen. The Syrian issue: Peace is the paramount value, and only its
achievement will ensure for us our security. Therefore, we need to
take courageous action that is in keeping with conditions that will
make Syria free itself from terrorism and to make progress towards
political negotiations that include the possibility of a withdrawal
from the Golan Heights.... The moral and ethical consideration
proves ultimately to be the correct and expedient consideration."
III. "We Need the Guts to Say No to Rice"
Isi Leibler, a veteran conservative international Jewish leader who
chairs the Diaspora-Israel relations committee of the Jerusalem
Center for Public Affairs, wrote in the conservative, independent
Jerusalem Post (10/17): "US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is
now actually urging Abbas to form a unity government with Hamas.
The only obstacle is that Hamas insists on retaining its weapons and
adamantly refuses -- even insincerely -- to express an incantation
implying that it could ever accept the existence of the 'Zionist
entity.' Rice had previously coerced Sharon and his defense
minister Shaul Mofaz into handing over control of the Philadelphi
route between Sinai and Gaza to the Egyptians. Not surprisingly,
the Egyptians reneged on their undertakings and a massive flow of
armaments and terrorists have been pouring into Gaza along that
route. Yet today the Americans are pressing Israel to ease
security requirements at all checkpoints for 'humanitarian reasons,'
in order to bolster Abbas. Rice had previously insisted that Israel
endorse the transfer of weapons to Palestinian security forces to
strengthen the PA. Although reluctant, Olmert agreed to do so in
May on the grounds that 'we need to help Abu Mazen'.... Nobody,
including our own government, seemed concerned that since Oslo
weapons provided to Palestinian security personnel had been used to
murder Israelis. Nor has the government drawn attention to the fact
that Abbas is still trying desperately to persuade Hamas killers to
merge with the PA security, which already incorporates Fatah
murderers.... We are currently being led by people who seem to have
forsaken any vestige of common sense. Lacking the confidence of the
nation they are incapable of resisting unreasonable demands from our
American friends because, as lame ducks, they desperately need to
cling to the coattails of the American administration."

¶2. Iraq:
---------
Summary:
--------
The Director of the Interdisciplinary Center's Global Research in
International Affairs Center, columnist Barry Rubin, wrote in the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post: "[President Bush's Iraq
policy] may be a noble stance, but it is a mistaken one, a
self-sacrificing choice that will end up costing Bush's reputation,
maybe his party, and probably the popularity of his ideas."

"Bush -- Noble, But Mistaken"
The Director of the Interdisciplinary Center's Global Research in
International Affairs Center, columnist Barry Rubin, wrote in the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post (10/17): "Bush is doing
what he thinks is the right thing: not 'cutting and running' nor
seeking partisan advantage, but instead 'staying the course,'
'maintaining US credibility,' and not 'abandoning' the Iraqi
people. This may be a noble stance, but it is a mistaken one, a
self-sacrificing choice that will end up costing Bush's reputation,
maybe his party, and probably the popularity of his ideas. It is
impossible for the US and its allies to win the war in Iraq. It is
also impossible for them to lose.... There is only one way for this
war to end and for Iraq to achieve relative stability, and that is
for the Shi'ites and Kurdish majority to win. But they will never
be compelled to do so as long as the coalition forces fight the
battles for them.... Forcing Shi'ites to sink or swim will show that
they are Olympic contenders when it comes to fighting such a civil
war. The second problem, regrettably, is the method needed to
achieve victory. The Shi'ites will fight Middle East-style, not
obeying the niceties of American law, codes of conduct, or rules of
engagement.... What Bush should have done -- and it isn't too late,
though he seems determined to compound his errors -- is to set a
timetable for withdrawal, without a detailed public commitment but
with a clear message to Iraq's government that it must take
responsibility for its own defense. By failing to do so, he has
doomed his administration and his own reputation."
