Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
All media reported that the 1,478 convention delegates of the
divided Labor Party will come together this afternoon in Tel Aviv to
decide whether to join PM-designate Benjamin Netanyahu's
national-unity government or try to bring it down from the
opposition. The Jerusalem Post reported that supporters and
opponents of joining the government both expressed confidence
yesterday that they would emerge victorious in the secret ballot
vote, the results of which will be available as early as 8 p.m.
HaQaretz reported that seven of LaborQs 13 Knesset members are
opposed to joining NetanyahuQs coalition. The media reported that
Likud MK Moshe YaQalon, who was slated to become defense minister in
the new government, revealed yesterday that he had reached
QunderstandingsQ with Netanyahu regarding his portfolio if a
national unity government is formed. The media also reported that
United Torah Judaism (UTJ) will not join a government that does
Qwholesale conversions.Q Maariv noted that Netanyahu cannot form a
government if both Labor and UTJ do not join his government.
Electronic media reported that this morning Netanyahu and Labor
Chairman Ehud Barak agreed that Israel would draft a comprehensive
regional peace treaty and that Israel is committed to all agreements
it has signed so far. The media further reported that Barak will be
a partner in all diplomatic-security forums and that construction in
settler outposts and by Palestinians would be monitored.
Maariv quoted Palestinian sources as saying that Ofer Dekel, PM Ehud
OlmertQs point man on the Gilad Shalit issue, is pressuring Hamas
prisoners in Israel, saying that this is their last chance to go
free.
Leading media quoted IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi as
saying yesterday that he does not believe that IDF soldiers harmed
Palestinian civilians in "cold blood" during the Gaza offensive, in
his first response to a HaQaretz expose revealing testimonies given
by troops who served in Operation Cast Lead.
HaQaretz reported that yesterday the GOI decided to allow "all
edible goods to be delivered to the population of Gaza." The
decision was not announced to the media and was only briefly
mentioned in the summary of the weekly meeting. Leading media
quoted Radhika Coomaraswamy, the UN Secretary-General's envoy for
protecting children in armed conflict, as saying yesterday that IDF
soldiers used an 11-year-old Palestinian boy as a human shield
during Operation Cast Lead. The army allegedly ordered the boy to
walk in front of soldiers being fired on in the Gaza neighborhood of
Tel al-Hawa and enter buildings before them. Coomaraswamy was
quoted as saying that the incident on Jan. 15, after IDF tanks had
rolled into the neighborhood, was a violation of Israeli and
international law. The Jerusalem Post quoted Alan Baker, formerly
the Foreign Ministry's legal adviser, as saying that even though
allegations of war crimes in Gaza are being used by some to
delegitimize Israel, it is incumbent on Israel to investigate the
allegations to show the world it is taking the matter seriously.
Maariv reported that the Israel Air Force is establishing a new
anti-aircraft battalion whose task will be to learn the Iron Dome
system for intercepting Qassam and Grad rockets fired from Gaza at
Sderot and at the Gaza periphery communities in the western Negev.
The Air Force believes that within four months the anti-aircraft
battalion will install the system and begin training, and in tandem,
will develop a new fighting doctrine versus the launching tactics of
the Palestinian terror organizations. Maariv quoted a high-ranking
security source as saying that the system would be able to handle
the short-range rocket threats quite well and would also be able to
deal with shells with a 155 millimeter caliber. The future task of
the new battalion will be to receive the Magic Wand system now being
developed that is earmarked to provide a response to medium-range
rockets. Maariv cited the belief of Israeli security officials that
these two systems will significantly change how Israel deals with
terrorist organizations and will even prompt them to find new
threats with which to attack IDF soldiers and residents of southern
Israel.
Makor Rishon-Hatzofe quoted Palestinian Minister for Civil Affairs
Muhammad Dahlan as saying that the PLO never recognized Israel and
that the PA government recognizes Israel on purely technical
grounds. Leading media reported that Kamal Madhat, the PLOQs deputy
envoy to Lebanon, was killed in a car blast near the Palestinian
refugee camp of Mia Mia. Media reported that Hamas blamed Israel
for the murder.
The media reported that over 2,500 police will be on duty today in
and around Umm el-Fahm, Israel's largest Arab city, where right-wing
protesters plan to march after receiving High Court approval. The
media also reported that yesterday the head of the northern branch
of IsraelQs Islamic Movement, Sheikh Raed Salah, was detained for
questioning in Jerusalem, together with his bodyguard and three
other individuals. Police were quoted as sayng that the five were
arrested after they refused to leave an illegal meeting in East
Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and attempted to assault
police officers. The gathering was part of the events of the
Palestinian Culture Festival, marking the choice by UNESCO of
Jerusalem as the Capital of Arab Culture for 2009. Police were
acting in accordance with a law banning demonstrations of
Palestinian sovereignty in Jerusalem.
Leading media reported that yesterday the parents of critically
wounded American protester Tristan Anderson called on the police to
launch a criminal investigation into the border policeman who shot a
high-velocity tear gas canister that hit their son on the forehead
in the Palestinian village of NaQalin earlier this month.
Yediot reported that Italy has ordered the deportation of three
Palestinians whom Israel exiled in 2002 after they barricaded
themselves in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.
Leading media quoted the Foreign Ministry as saying yesterday that
the U.K. was refusing to apologize after its statements about
Israeli companies deceiving European tax authorities proved
unsubstantiated. The issue was the suspension of tariffs on goods
from within the Green Line, but not from the territories.
Maariv quoted IDF Chief of Staff Ashkenazi as saying yesterday that
this year 82% of newly drafted IDF soldiers requested to serve in
combat units.
Major media reported that yesterday a court in Yemen sentenced a man
to death for contacting and offering to spy for Israel. Bassam
al-Haidari, 26, was found guilty of sending an e-mail to PM Ehud
Olmert and offering his services. Two other defendants, aged 23 and
24, were sentenced to prison. The men, who are said to be members
of the anti-Yemeni government Organization of Islamic Jihad, went on
trial in January. According to the court, Olmert responded to
Haidari's e-mail, offering to support him as a foreign agent.
Israeli military officials deny the claim.
All media reported that, citing the global and local recession,
vanishing inflation, and monetary policy moves around the world, the
Bank of Israel lowered its overnight rate for April to a historic
low of 0.5%. The media reported that financial analysts were not
impressed by the move.
The Jerusalem Post reported on cooperation between the Weizmann
Institute and San Diego State University in the observation of the
Qlargest exploding star ever seen.
HaQaretz and The Jerusalem Post cited the results of a poll released
yesterday by the dovish, pro-Israel lobby J Street: American Jews
are evenly divided over whether the U.S. should launch a military
offensive against Iran if it acquires nuclear weapons. The poll
shows that 41% of American Jews favor such an attack, 40% oppose one
and 16% chose "neither." The poll also showed that the overwhelming
majority of American Jews (76%) favor a two-state solution as the
preferred way to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. According to
the poll, some 72% support the Obama administration's first steps in
attempting to resolve the Israeli-Arab dispute. Also, 76% say Obama
is a supporter of Israel, while 69% agree that he has a positive
vision that can advance the Middle East peace process. While
three-fourths of American Jews supported the Gaza operation and
Israel's right to defend itself, 59% claimed the war had no impact
on Israel's security. The poll also showed that 60% of U.S. Jews
oppose settlement expansion in the West Bank while 40% are in favor.
Among Orthodox Jews, 80% support more building in the settlements.
Among Jews who donate to political campaigns, 72% oppose settlement
expansion. Sixty-nine percent of respondents are opposed to the
views of Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor Beiteinu conditioning Arab
IsraelisQ citizenship on their loyalty to the state.

Summary:

The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized: QWhile the
Americans are actively seeking a way to start a dialogue, Israel is

Tehran.
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized: QIn his
heart of hearts, Obama surely knows that Khamenei's QpriceQ for good
relations is America's total capitulation to Persian imperial
designs. To point this out is not to beat the drums of war, but to
appeal for American clear-sightedness.

¶I. "With Obama to Iran"
The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized (3/24): QWhile
Israel is preoccupied with cobbling together a coalition and with
the ongoing incarceration of Gilad Shalit, significant changes are
taking place in our strategic sphere. The most significant of these
was the public message U.S. President Barack Obama sent to the
people and government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, a videotaped
message on the occasion of Nauruz, the Persian New Year. Obama
offered to bring about a new era of American-Iranian relations,
after three decades of disconnect and enmity.... A few hours after
Obama's message was broadcast, President Shimon Peres sent a similar
message from Israel to the people of Iran, in which he harshly
attacked President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for denying the Holocaust,
called on the people of Iran to topple their leaders, and promised
that Israel would survive. The contrast between the two messages --
one from Washington and one from Jerusalem -- says much about the
different approaches taken by Israel and the U.S. regarding Iran:
While the Americans are actively seeking a way to start a dialogue,
Israel is preaching confrontation and the toppling of the government
in Tehran.... It is clearly in Israel's interest to halt Iran's
nuclear program, but it is no less in our interests to have close
ties and a coordinated policy with the U.S. The new government
should give Obama's diplomatic initiative a chance; it must not come
out against it or portray it as tacit acceptance of a nuclear-armed
Iran or as American abandonment of Israel's security. The initial
reaction in Iran to Obama's message was far from enthusiastic, but
this is just the beginning of the dialogue. If Obama manages to
reduce the rising tide of tension in the region and to introduce a
new framework of dialogue and cooperation between nations, he will
have made an important contribution to Israel's security and to its
international standing. This is the approach that should guide
Netanyahu when he holds his first meeting with President Obama at
the White House.
II. "Children of Adam"
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized (3/24):
QEven Western QrealistsQ who reject appeasement, talk
paternalistically about coaxing Iran into behaving more responsibly.
They intuit that Iran's Qtrue interestQ lies in improved relations
with the civilized world. It's only that the mullahs'
Qwell-grounded mistrustQ of the West makes them exceedingly
cautious. Were the stakes not so high, America's astute President,
having inherited a calamitous economy, two wars and much else, could
be forgiven for seeking to avoid confrontation with Iran -- even if
he rejects the apologists' line outright and thinks the realists
are, well, unrealistic. In his heart of hearts, Obama surely knows
that Khamenei's QpriceQ for good relations is America's total
capitulation to Persian imperial designs. To point this out is not
to beat the drums of war, but to appeal for American
clear-sightedness.

¶2. Mideast:
------------
Summary:
--------
Veteran journalist and anchor Yaron London wrote in the
mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot: QThere is no chance for
peace until Palestinian society changes and the wave of Islamic
fanaticism subsides.
Conservative international Jewish leader Isi Leibler wrote in the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post: QThe ambiguity of the U.S.
stance is highlighted by the fact that simultaneously with the
announcement suspending its participation in Durban 2, America
proclaimed that it would henceforth partake in proceedings of the
UN Human Rights Council.
Liberal columnist Yael Paz-Melamed wrote in the popular, pluralist
Maariv: QLiberal columnist Yael Paz-Melamed wrote in the popular,
pluralist Maariv (3/24): QSomeone must prevent the establishment of
a narrow right-wing establishment. That QsomeoneQ can only be the
Labor Party.

¶I. "Where Will We Lead Despair?"
Veteran journalist and anchor Yaron London wrote in the
mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot (3/24): QSubstantial
questions exist: Is there a chance for peace before Palestinian
society can govern itself? Is the existence of the Labor Party
essential in order to retain peace options? And is there determining
importance in leaving defense in the hands of Ehud Barak? I answer
negatively to the first question. There is no chance for peace
until Palestinian society changes and the wave of Islamic fanaticism
subsides.... This is true for the second question. The Labor Party
will not find rehabilitation by sitting in the opposition, because
it does not possess a paradigm-changing concept.... To the third
question I answer: QWho cares?Q Barak, a marvelously gifted person
who totally lacks political talent, will make no difference either
in the government or in the opposition.
II. "Otherwise Lieberman Will Be the Dominant Factor"
Liberal columnist Yael Paz-Melamed wrote in the popular, pluralist
Maariv (3/24): QSomeone must prevent the establishment of a narrow
right-wing government. That QsomeoneQ can only be the Labor Party.
Paradoxically, such a move would severely harm the party,
particularly Ehud Barak, but it would be the lifeline that many have
been yearning for.
III. "The Obama Administration, Durban, and American Jews"
Conservative international Jewish leader Isi Leibler wrote in the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post (3/24): QIt may be
premature to celebrate the U.S. withdrawal [from the Durban 2
conference]. The decision not to participate was made with a caveat
that the U.S. would reconsider its decision if the preparatory
committee amended its draft and deleted some of the most offensive
sections. In fact since then, the Durban organizers have come to the
realization that by accepting an abbreviated draft excluding the
most offensive sections, the U.S. could conceivably still attend and
that would encourage most of the wavering European and other
countries to do likewise.... The ambiguity of the U.S. stance in
this matter is highlighted by the fact that simultaneously with the
announcement suspending its participation in Durban 2, America
proclaimed that it had revoked the Bush administration's boycott and
would henceforth partake in proceedings of the UN Human Rights
Council and even seek election to the council. U.S. legitimization
of this bizarre body is unquestionably a retrograde step. Contrary
to its Orwellian title, the council is the antithesis of human
rights, and spends most of its time demonizing Israel and promoting
the interests of the Islamic Council. It is totally dominated by
Islamic and rogue states and will undoubtedly continue providing a
platform for promoting anti-Semitism and other evil practices.
