Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
HaQaretz and other major media reported that PM-designate Benjamin
Netanyahu told U.S. special envoy George Mitchell yesterday that a
Likud-led government will honor "all international commitments" made
by Israel. Though Netanyahu did not specify which commitments he
meant, the principal commitments made by Israeli governments over
the past few years are those included in the Roadmap peace plan --
primarily, limits on settlement construction and the evacuation of
illegal outposts -- and the Annapolis summit pledge to hold
final-status talks on establishing a Palestinian state. However,
Netanyahu also told Mitchell that a Likud-led government would
"reassess Israeli foreign policy and proceed with the peace process
with the Palestinians in its own way." The Jerusalem Post reported
that Mitchell steered clear of the settlement issue in talks with PM
Ehud Olmert and Netanyahu. Makor Rishon-Hatzofe reported that,
following the Netanyahu-Mitchell meeting, U.S officials and
Netanyahu associates agreed that NetanyahuQs Qeconomic peaceQ was a
basis for discussions.
The media reported that today Netanyahu will meet with Kadima leader
Tzipi Livni. HaQaretz reported that, in a last ditch-effort to
convince her to enter coalition talks with Likud, Netanyahu will
offer Livni a complete and equal partnership in advancing the peace
process. Maariv quoted him as saying that Livni would have more
influence in his government than in OlmertQs. But HaQaretz quoted
sources in the parties as saying that neither side believes that a
unity government of Likud and Kadima is likely. Maariv quoted Livni
as saying privately this week that Netanyahu does not believe in the
diplomatic process. Nonetheless, HaQaretz reported that Netanyahu
wants to show that he tried every option to compromise with Livni
with generous, unprecedented offers, so that Livni appears at fault
for any failure to create a unity government. Makor Rishon-Hatzofe
quoted Livni associates as saying that there is a chance of Kadima
joining the coalition.
Yediot reported that Israel has offered to conduct intensive
negotiations with Hamas in Cairo on Gilad ShalitQs release. The
daily reported that Israel is willing to release over 100
QheavyweightQ Palestinian prisoners. Yediot cited the belief of a
senior Egyptian source that Netanyahu will offer less than the
outgoing government.
Citing the Qrenewed routineQ of Hamas rocket attacks, HaQaretz wrote
in its lead article: QIf Israel can enshrine Operation Cast Lead in
a long-term agreement, the war will be remembered as a success. But
fears are mounting that the operation's military achievements are
dissipating. If so, the operation will go down in history as a
less-than-successful round in a long war in Gaza. The IDF left Gaza
with the feeling that it had proven itself, after its debacle in
Lebanon in 2006. But it seems that the bottom line will have to
wait.
Makor Rishon-Hatzofe reported that Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton will ask for clarifications about construction in MaQaleh
Adumim.
The Jerusalem Post reported that senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb
Erekat told the newspaper yesterday that Netanyahu should worry
about fulfilling IsraelQs international obligations rather than
concerning himself with what kind of government the Palestinian
people choose to form.
The Jerusalem Post cited the dissatisfaction of Israeli officials
about official JerusalemQs silence regarding petitions abroad
against Israel for alleged war crimes.
Media quoted Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Avigdor Lieberman as saying
in an interview with the American magazine The Jewish Week that he
supports the idea of a QviableQ Palestinian state. HaQaretz quoted
Netanyahu associates as saying yesterday that Netanyahu will not
meet all of Lieberman's conditions for bringing Yisrael Beiteinu
into a Likud-led government. "Netanyahu cannot let Lieberman run
the country," explained one. "There's a limit. He can't have the
Justice Ministry, the Public Security Ministry and on top of that
the Foreign Ministry or the Finance Ministry."
HaQaretz reported that this week Olmert tried to allay the concerns
of the American Jewish community regarding Netanyahu. Olmert told
Jewish leaders and Jewish Agency bosses that they and Washington had
no reason to fear Netanyahu. Olmert was quoted as saying:
"Netanyahu is an Israeli patriot and not an extreme individual. He
knows what is right, and I believe he will promote the peace
process."
HaQaretz quoted sources in the Israeli defense establishment as
saying that, during a visit here this week, Gen. John Craddock,
commander of U.S. European Command (EUCOM), which operates the
long-range radar in the Negev, discussed solutions for intercepting
missiles from Gaza with Israeli officials. Craddock also discussed
means of intercepting longer-range missiles, especially from Iran.
During his visit, Craddock met with IDF Chief of Staff Gabi
Ashkenazi, DM Ehud Barak, Defense Ministry Director-General Pinchas
Buchris, and GOC Southern Command Yoav Galant.
The Jerusalem Post quoted Jakob Kellenberger, the President of the
International Committee of the Red Cross, as saying yesterday in
Geneva that peace is vital to GazaQs reconstruction, that the
isolation of Gaza must end, and that Shalit should be released.
HaQaretz reported that, despite the state's formal commitment not to
expand West Bank settlements, the Civil Administration, the
government agency responsible for nonmilitary matters in the West
Bank, has been promoting plans over the past two years to construct
thousands of housing units east of the Green Line -Q at GvaQot,
located near Alon Shvut in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc; Bat
Ayin; Rimonim; Einav; MaQaleh Adumim; Kfar Adumim; and Eshkolot.
The plans have not yet been approved by the government. Details of
the plans appear in the minutes of the agency's environmental
subcommittee, which were obtained by the B'Tselem organization under
IsraelQs Freedom of Information Act.
Leading media reported that Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann has
recommended that President Shimon Peres pardon convicted
disengagement opponents.
All media reported that yesterday Netanyahu met with Histadrut Labor
Federation Chairman Ofer Eini, Netanyahu is slated to meet next week
with Shraga Brosh, the President of the Manufacturers Association of
Israel. The media reported that Netanyahu is hoping to gain support
for his plans to rescue IsraelQs economy from financial crisis and
recession.
The Jerusalem Post reported that growing harassment of Jewish
students on college campuses across Britain, the U.S., and Canada
has prompted the Simon Wiesenthal Center to announce plans for an
international effort to counter the phenomenon.
Last night Channel 2-TV reported that that the European Aviation
Safety Agency has sent the Israel Civil Aviation Authority (ICAA) a
warning via e-mail that if its flight safety did not improve, the
European agency would blacklist IsraelQs three airlines -- El Al,
Arkia, and Israir. This would prohibit them from landing at
European airports, and perhaps even from flying over the continent.
Flights to the U.S. could also be cut as a result of such a
decision. The European agency is set to take a decision on the issue
in a month's time, according to the TV report. Industry sources
said the European warning was triggered by the FAAQs downgrading of
Israel's air-safety system to a third-world "category two" level
last December. The FAA cited "severe security shortcomings in the
ICAA and a range of security defects at Ben Gurion International
Airport.Q Aviation experts had warned that the FAA's lowering of
Israel's security ranking would adversely affect the image of
Israel-based airlines in the U.S. and Europe, as well as their
profitability.
HaQaretz quoted Nigel Ashton, a senior lecturer at the London School
of Economics, who is close to the Hashemite royal family and was
given rare access to the late Jordanian King Hussein's private
archives, as saying in his book "King Hussein: A Political Life"
(Yale University Press) that In early summer 1995, a few months
before his assassination, PM Yitzhak Rabin asked King Hussein to
approach Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein on his behalf and arrange a
joint visit by Rabin and King Hussein to Baghdad, Ashton wrote that
when handed a secret letter by a Jordanian official, "Saddam did not
rule out direct contacts with Rabin," but was reluctant "to work
through lower-level intermediaries." No further moves on the
Israel-Iraq initiative were recorded before Rabin's murder that
November.

Diplomatic correspondent Ben Caspit wrote in the popular, pluralist
Maariv: QGiven the fact that [Netanyahu] will apparently only have a
narrow right-wing government ... and [that] America is alienated, he
will need a rare combination of miracles, luck, and help from heaven
to survive.
Editor-in-Chief David Horovitz wrote in the conservative,
independent Jerusalem Post: QNew prime minister Netanyahu could be
faced with the acutely unenviable choice of defying America to
maintain a narrow, pro-settlement coalition, or defying his domestic
political partners and many of his voters for the sake of an
international partnership to try to stop Iran.
Diplomatic correspondent Aluf Benn wrote in the independent,
left-leaning Ha'aretz: QInstead of Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton coming to discuss the containment of the Iranian threat, her
first visit to Israel will focus on aid to the Palestinians in Gaza
and the victims of QOperation Cast Lead.Q This might be the worst
damage of all.
Daniel Levy, the lead Israeli drafter of the Geneva Initiative,
wrote in Ha'aretz: QAgreeing that Israel will define its permanent
borders with the Palestinians by the end of the new government's
term of office would meet Tzipi LivniQs] test.
Ariel Cahana editorialized in the nationalist, Orthodox Makor
Rishon-Hatzofe: QProfessor Shlomo Ben-Ami, a true man of the Left,
who acted to establish a Palestinian state, now believes that the
two-state idea is useless.
Diplomatic correspondent Aluf Benn wrote in Ha'aretz: QAn agreement
that would include only a limited withdrawal, ... in which Israel
would Qremain on the Golan,Q does not contradict Netanyahu's
principles.
Block Quotes:
-------------
¶I. "He Needs a Miracle"
Diplomatic correspondent Ben Caspit wrote in the popular, pluralist
Maariv (2/27): QBenjamin Netanyahu of 2009, who will be 60 in
October, is more mature, more experienced, and more balanced than
Bibi of Q96. On the other hand, it seems that he hasnQt
internalized the true reasons for his defeat at the time. Byzantine
power games ... are being played around him.... Given the fact that
he will apparently only have a narrow right-wing government, the
economy is falling apart, the security situation is threatening,
Europe is hostile, and America is alienated, he will need a rare
combination of miracles, luck, and help from heaven to survive. He
is well aware of his situation. The question is whether he is doing
something to change it.
II. "From the West Bank to Tehran"
Editor-in-Chief David Horovitz wrote in the conservative,
independent Jerusalem Post (2/27): QAccording to one scenario put to
me, the Obama administration will be taking a comprehensive approach
to the Middle East.... It would likely include an Israeli settlement
freeze.... How that demand would go down with a narrow, right-wing
coalition -Q the only coalition Netanyahu currently seems capable of
forming -Q is readily imagined. But, it was put to me, the
administrationQs argument to Netanyahu would be that IsraelQs
principal concern is thwarting Iran; thwarting Iran requires
regional cooperation.... If such a scenario were indeed to play out,
new prime minister Netanyahu could be faced with the acutely
unenviable choice of defying America to maintain a narrow,
pro-settlement coalition, or defying his domestic political partners
and many of his voters for the sake of an international partnership
to try to stop Iran.
III. "The Operation that Legitimized Hamas"
Diplomatic correspondent Aluf Benn wrote in the independent,
left-leaning Ha'aretz (2/27): QThe main damage [caused to Israel] by
the[Gaza] operation was the legitimacy granted to Hamas as ruler of
the Strip, and the growing encouragement of the Qreconciliation
talksQ that will return the organization to the Palestinian
leadership. Israel wanted to isolate and destroy Hamas Q it is now
under heavy pressure to open the crossings to Gaza and end the
siege. The operation was planned so that it would end during the
term of friendly President George Bush, a moment before Barack Obama
entered the White House. The timing was perfect, the results less
so. Israel is starting its dialogue with Obama from a problematic
position. Instead of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton coming to
discuss the containment of the Iranian threat, her first visit to
Israel will focus on aid to the Palestinians in Gaza and the victims
of QOperation Cast Lead.Q This might be the worst damage of all.
IV. "Livni Needs a Game-Changer"
Daniel Levy, the lead Israeli drafter of the Geneva Initiative,
wrote in Ha'aretz (2/27): QIf [Tzipi] Livni wants her vision of two
states to be both credible and meaningful, she needs to come up with
a game-changer. Agreeing that Israel will define its permanent
borders with the Palestinians by the end of the new government's
term of office would meet that test. One path to achieving that
goal could be the traditional one, via negotiations with an
empowered and domestically legitimized Palestinian leadership, but
this need not be the only option. Israel's interlocutor might be
the United States or the Quartet, either of which could conduct
back-to-back talks with relevant Palestinian and Arab
decision-makers. Alternately, Israel might negotiate indirectly, in
the context of the Arab peace plan, with Arab states, which would in
turn consult with the relevant Palestinians, thereby guaranteeing
the necessary Palestinian buy-in and representation. Once a border
is defined, this would of course have to be followed in short order
by a withdrawal of the Israeli occupation to that line.... At first
glance, such an agenda would appear to be anathema to Netanyahu. It
could, though, be linked to additional innovations, such as the
establishment of an interim international trusteeship over the
de-occupied area, thereby allowing him to avoid being directly
responsible for the establishment of a Palestinian state. Perhaps
this is what Netanyahu meant when he suggested to Livni that there
might be another formula for defining the political approach to the
Palestinian issue
¶V. QThe Two-State Idea Is Dead
Ariel Cahan editorialized in the nationalist, Orthodox Makor
Rishon-Hatzofe (2/27): QThe person who most recenly shattered the
statue of Qtwo state for two peplesQ was Elliott Abrams, Deputy
National Security Advisor in the Bush administration, who claims
that the West Bank and Gaza PalestiniansQ connections with Jordan
and Egypt ... are preferable to stately Palestinian independence -
an independence that cannot be implemented anyway because of HamasQs
takeover in Gaza.... Professor Shlomo Ben-Ami, a true man of the
Left, who acted to establish a Palestinian state, now believes that
the two-state idea is useless... The Israeli Right, which brought
the [upcoming] government to power, must complete its vision with
diplomatic action.
VI. "No More King on the Mountain?"
Diplomatic correspondent Aluf Benn wrote in Ha'aretz (2/27): QU.S.
President Barack Obama wants to create a new order in the Middle
East, one based on diplomacy and dialogue, not on boycotts and
bombs. Israel wants to shatter the threatening Qaxis of evil,
which is headquartered in Iran and has branches in Syria, Lebanon,
and Gaza, and is opposed to withdrawal from the territories. Syria
wants to improve its relations with the U. S. and strengthen its
control of Lebanon, without bowing to Israel. Is there a formula
that can satisfy Israel, Syria, and Obama's United States?....
[Benjamin Netanyahu] sees the indirect negotiations Prime Minister
Ehud Olmert conducted with the Syrians as having offered concessions
without recompense, as a useless move that served only to extricate
Syrian President Bashar Assad from international isolation. An
agreement that would include only a limited withdrawal, however, in
which Israel would Qremain on the Golan,Q does not contradict
Netanyahu's principles.
