¶1. PM Olmert's Performance
¶2. Saudi Initiative
¶3. Iraq
-------------------------
Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
All media reported that the Winograd Commission investigating last
summer's Lebanon war announced on Tuesday that it will publish
interim report in the second half of April and that it will include
personal conclusions regarding PM Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Amir
Peretz and former IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz. The commission
also said that the interim report would be confined to the first
five days of the war. Leading media quoted Olmert associates as
saying that he will not resign if the commission's conclusions are
not too harsh. Media quoted Kadima party members as saying that the
party should be prepared to replace Olmert in order to prevent its
collapse.
Ha'aretz quoted US Ambassador Richard Jones as saying on Monday that
the US is not preventing Israel from holding negotiations with Syria
and the decision on whether to proceed on this matter is in the
hands of the Israeli government. Ambassador Jones was speaking to a
group of academics at the Davis Institute for International Affairs
at the Hebrew University. Ha'aretz wrote that the US Embassy in Tel
Aviv refused to comment on the Ambassador's statements, saying that
the meeting was a closed forum. However, Ha'aretz quoted the deputy
press attache at the embassy as saying on Tuesday: "We are unaware
that any US official has ever expressed an opinion on what Israel
should or should not do with regard to Syria." Ha'aretz quoted
Jones as saying that he does not consider Syria a partner in the
diplomatic process so long as it supports terrorist organizations
and aids Hizbullah. He added that the Syrians have not done enough
to lift doubts that they are interested in negotiations solely as a
means of receiving international legitimacy. "If the Syrians change
the situation," the Ambassador was quoted as saying, "the situation
will also change." Ha'aretz said that, during the meeting at the
Davis Institute, Ambassador Jones also discussed the Arab peace
initiative that is expected to be approved at the Arab League summit
in Riyadh, scheduled to take place late this month. Ha'aretz quoted
Ambassador Jones as saying that this is an attempt to develop a
regional link to the peace process, which presents Israel with a
broad diplomatic horizon, and goes beyond a settlement with the
Palestinians. Jones was quoted as saying that the peace initiative
may transform Israel into an accepted entity in the Middle East.
Jones was further quoted as saying that the Mecca Agreement between
Fatah and Hamas, which paved the way to a national unity government
in the Palestinian Authority, has disrupted American plans for
dealing with the political situation in the territories. Ha'aretz
noted that the Ambassador appears to have been referring to American
plans to bolster Fatah through economic and military assistance as a
counter to Hamas and as a way of restoring the leadership of the
Palestinian government to Fatah. Jones was quoted as saying that
the US is firm on the three preconditions set by the Quartet.
Ha'aretz reported that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is
trying, through her aides, including Assistant Secretary of State
for Near Eastern Affairs David Welch, to convince Saudi Arabia to
modify its peace initiative. Leading media reported that on Tuesday
Saudi Arabia criticized Israel for setting preconditions for Middle
East peace talks and that it urged Israel to accept an Arab
initiative proposed in 2002 and discuss details later. Major media
reported that Egypt and Syria also rejected Israel's demand that
changes be made to the initiative during an Arab summit in Saudi
Arabia scheduled for March 28-29. Hatzofe quoted the Palestinian
daily Al-Quds as saying that PA Chairman [President] Mahmoud Abbas
and Palestinian PM Ismail Haniyeh will come to the summit together.
Leading media reported that on Tuesday, speaking before the
Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Shin Bet Director
Yuval Diskin warned that Hamas was sending hundreds of men to Iran
for prolonged periods of advanced training. Diskin added that he
anticipated greater difficulty for the IDF in its operations in the
Gaza Strip, owing not only to underground fortification but also to
the ever-increasing population density in the area. Diskin informed
the committee that 31 tons of explosive material have been smuggled
into the Gaza Strip in the last year by terror groups. According to
Diskin, the figure constitutes a six-fold increase in the amount
smuggled in recent years. Diskin was also quoted as saying that the
Palestinian terror groups are in the process of attempting to
increase their rocket range to 15 and even 20 kilometers, so as to
enable them to strike at Kiryat Gat and Ashkelon, and other national
infrastructure targets in the Negev, and that those groups were also
trying to increase their ballistic capabilities in the West Bank.
Ha'aretz, Maariv, and The Jerusalem Post reported that on Tuesday
the Israeli and US delegations walked out of the UN's disarmament
forum in Geneva after Iran said Israel was the "real source of
nuclear danger in the Middle East" and had a "dark record of
crimes." Ha'aretz quoted Vice PM Shimon Peres as saying on Tuesday
in Tokyo that a peaceful solution must be found to the Iranian
nuclear problem, despite its president's vow to wipe Israel off the
map. "I would not like to darken the future with belligerent
declarations," Peres said at a news conference when asked about the
possibility of a preemptive strike. "I do hope that the problem can
be solved economically, politically and psychologically." Peres is
in Tokyo for a four-nation meeting today about Middle East peace
that includes officials from the PA, Jordan, and host Japan, as well
as a two-day confidence-building conference that starts today.
Ha'aretz and Maariv reported that the special UNESCO team
investigating the excavations near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem has
determined that the works carried out by Israel comply with
international standards for culturally significant sites. However,
the report, which is due today, includes a call on Israel to halt
excavation, which caused disappointment in the Foreign Ministry.
Maariv reported that Knesset Speaker and Acting President of Israel
Dalia Itzik was invited to an international conference of parliament
leaders from around the world, to be held this coming May on the
island of Bali in Indonesia.
The Jerusalem Post reported that on Tuesday the IDF expressed
concern over the fate of Alan Johnston, a BBC reporter who was
abducted on Monday at gunpoint by masked gunmen in the Gaza Strip,
with some officers predicting that it could be weeks before the
British national was released.
The Jerusalem Post quoted sources close to Hamas in the Gaza Strip
as saying on Tuesday that the national unity government that was
reached last month in Mecca has triggered a behind-the-scenes power
struggle in Hamas.
Ha'aretz, Israel Radio, and other media cited a Peace Now report
that found that 32 percent of the ground on which settlements are
built is private Palestinian ground. The media reported that the
Council of Jewish Settlements in the Territories and the GOI's Civil
Administration in the territories refuted the report's findings.
Ha'aretz cited a report published by the Palestinian trading
organization Paltrade, which says that the operation of the Karni
Crossing is not enough to jump-start the Palestinian economy in the
Gaza Strip. Israel Radio said that the Peres Center of Peace also
voiced criticism about the crossing's operations.
The Jerusalem Post cited a Jewish Telegraphic Agency wire report
that on Monday Americans for Peace Now sent a letter to every member
of Congress calling "on the Bush administration to change course on
Iran and abandon its long-standing sanctions-only policy in favor of
limited, constructive engagement, characterized by a combination of
carrots and sticks."
The Jerusalem Post printed an AP wire report that three Yemeni
businessmen in New York have been charged with money laundering
after federal authorities said they sent USD 200,000 overseas
knowing the money was illegally obtained and that it could benefit
Hizbullah.
All media reported that on Tuesday Labor MK Colette Avital
officially announced her candidacy to the presidency of Israel.
Ha'aretz reported that, from April 4 through May 11, News Mexico's
Bosque Redondo State Monument, a state commemorating a tragic
chapter of Native American history, will host the traveling
exhibition "Anne Frank: A History for Today."
Leading media reported that violence erupted on Tuesday as Hollywood
actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his Israeli girlfriend, supermodel Bar
Refaeli, fended off photographers on their way to the Western Wall
tunnel in Jerusalem.
The Jerusalem Post presented its selection of results of The Aviv
University's Peace Index poll conducted among Israelis on February
26-27:
-About 55 percent of the Jewish public now thinks that establishment
of a Palestinian unity government would reduce the chances of
reaching an agreement, while only 25 percent believe that its
establishment would increase those chances (the rest have no opinion
on the matter). There is a majority for this view among supporters
of all the parties.
-Only about one-fifth of Israeli Jews are in favor of peace for a
full withdrawal from the Golan Heights, while only 41 percent
believe that Israel should respond positively to Syria's call to
return to negotiations even if it has not stopped supporting
Hizbullah and other terrorist organizations. Conversely, 52 percent
of Jews think that Syria's call for talks stems from weakness and
that Israel should not respond positively.

¶1. PM Olmert's Performance:
----------------------------
Summary:
--------
Diplomatic correspondent Ben Caspit wrote on page one of the
popular, pluralist Maariv: "Olmert has earned what is happening to
him fairly honestly, he has not lost his fighting spirit, and at
this stage, he is still the Prime Minister. As of now."
Block Quotes:
-------------
"Head Hunting"
Diplomatic correspondent Ben Caspit wrote on page one of the
popular, pluralist Maariv (3/14): "It is hard to predict how firm
the conclusions [of the Winograd Commission probing last summer's
war in Lebanon] will be, how they will be divided up between the
targeted parties and whether they will be strong to the point of
crushing the Olmert-Peretz government. The informed opinion, which
is also based on talks with the commission members, confirms the
assumption that the members of the Winograd Commission are going for
the heads of the prime minister and defense minister with full
force, and therefore on Tuesday noted their intention to publish
'personal conclusions.' On the other hand, they have not issued
letters of warning, which could indicate mitigated personal
conclusions.... As of Tuesday, we still have no idea what the month
of April will bring and who could suffer his [political] death in
it.... The only one who should be envied even less [than the
commission's members] is IsraelQs Prime Minister Olmert. Exactly a
year since winning the elections, close to a year and a half after
finding himself in the seat of Prime Minister, he can look back in
anger and sum up the most difficult and traumatic year of his life.
It is difficult to describe what he underwent in this period, what
has happened to him in each and every month of it, what happens to
him in one week, in a single day. The prime minister's seat in
Israel has become an electric chair -- a suicidal, almost hopeless
post, and yet there are so many who aspire to it. Olmert has earned
what is happening to him fairly honestly, he has not lost his
fighting spirit, and at this stage, he is still the Prime Minister.
As of now."

¶2. Saudi Initiative:
---------------------
Summary:
--------
Conservative columnist Yosef Harif wrote in the popular, pluralist
Maariv: "In order to try to assess the Saudi initiative, Israel must
clarify some matters for itself."
Shlomo Avineri, Hebrew University Professor of Political Science and
former director-general of the Foreign Ministry, wrote in the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post: "There can be no peace
without negotiations, yet until now the Arab League has avoided this
basic tenet of international diplomacy."
Block Quotes:
-------------
¶I. "What Does Saudi Arabia Mean?"
Conservative columnist Yosef Harif wrote in the popular, pluralist
Maariv (3/14): "The Saudi plan meant to establish peace between
Israel and the Arab countries is currently arousing considerable
interest. This week Prime Minister Ehud Olmert devoted the first
part of the cabinet's meeting to that initiative, noting that it
contained 'positive elements'.... The Americans, too are showing
interest in the Saudi initiative. It would not be surprising if
some day that plan replaced the Roadmap, whose chances of
realization have been low since Hamas came to power in the
Palestinian authority.... [Since the Saudi initiative of 1982, which
was rejected by Israel, the Israeli stance has softened
substantially: It appears that most Israelis approve the
establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.
On the other hand, the Palestinian stance has not changed; neither
has the Saudi initiative, which again speaks about the right of
return [for Palestinian refugees]. Olmert said that the 'Saudi
initiative is an issue that should be treated seriously.' Even if
this plan deserves such a treatment, one should avoid harboring
illusions. In order to try to assess the Saudi initiative, Israel
must clarify some matters for itself: not only the rejection of the
right of return, which is part of the [Israeli] consensus, but also
the fate of Jerusalem.... Ariel Sharon endorsed the Roadmap because
he claimed to have received a promise from President Bush that that
the large settlement blocs in the West Bank would remain in Israel's
hands. Will the government adhere to this principle? On March 28,
a summit conference is supposed to convene in Riyadh to discuss the
Saudi plan, with the aim of receiving the moderate states' approval.
This will be the test of Saudi Arabia's real intentions -- sticking
to its rigid positions or showing willingness to also consider
Israel's vital interests."
II. "What's Missing From the Saudi Initiative"
Shlomo Avineri, Hebrew University Professor of Political Science and
former director-general of the Foreign Ministry, wrote in the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post (3/14): "Despite some
ambiguities in the language [of the Saudi initiative and the March
2002 declaration of the Arab League] one thing is clear. The Arab
League does not offer negotiations with Israel, nor dies it suggest
that its demands (which are the conventional Arab ones) will become
a basis for negotiations. What the declaration demands is that
Israel 'affirms' -- accepts the Arab demands and then, only then
('consequently') the Arab countries will 'affirm' the end of
conflict. It would be unfair to characterize the Beirut declaration
as an ultimatum to Israel: Accept our demands -- or else. But the
one, most crucial ingredient in any serious diplomatic move -- the
willingness to negotiate with Israel -- is missing here.... The
Beirut declaration envisages an overall Arab change in attitude
toward Israel, not just bilateral Israeli and Syrian and Palestinian
agreements, so one needs to know who speaks for the Arab side. One
may wonder whether all Arab countries would be ready for such a
move. If, however, the Arab League got its act together and offered
negotiations with Israel on behalf of all the Arab countries, it
would be a real breakthrough. A mere declaration of demands aimed
at Israel, without mention of any willingness to negotiate over
them, would be just another PR exercise, not a serious attempt to
seek a diplomatically negotiated agreement. There can be no peace
without negotiations, yet until now the Arab League has avoided this
basic tenet of international diplomacy."

¶3. Iraq:
---------
Summary:
--------
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized: "All
Americans should now that leaving in defeat would be disastrous for
America and the world. The new strategy in Iraq should be given a
chance."
Block Quotes:
-------------
"Give Victory a Chance"
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized (3/14):
"[In his speech before AIPAC's annual policy conference on Monday,
Vice President Richard] Cheney [painted a picture of a war [in Iraq]
with ups and downs, but one in which the US is adapting as well. He
pointed out that the new general in charge of the new strategy,
David Petraeus, said he needed the extra troops to do the job.
Finally, he argued that 'it is simply not consistent for anyone to
demand aggressive action against the menace posed by the Iranian
regime, while at the same time acquiescing in a retreat from Iraq
that would leave our worst enemies dramatically emboldened and
Israel's best friend, the United States, dangerously weakened.' In
the meantime, Robert Kagan has written in The Washington Post that
there is already evidence that the surge is succeeding.... As we
know here, war is not easy. It is not always short or definitive.
But the alternative is not to give up, but to win. All Americans
should now that leaving in defeat would be disastrous for America
and the world. The new strategy in Iraq should be given a chance."
