Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
The media reported that Hamas is supposed to give an answer today to
a cease-fire proposal. The Jerusalem Post reported that top Hamas
official Ahmed Yousef told the newspaper yesterday that he believes
an Egyptian-mediated cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas
is likely to be reached by Thursday. Yousef, the Gaza-based Deputy
Foreign Minister and former political adviser to Hamas PM Ismail
Haniyeh, was quoted as saying that he had not yet heard back from a
Hamas delegation in Cairo, which was scheduled to meet Egyptian
officials about a cease-fire proposal. But he said he was
optimistic that a cease-fire agreement was imminent. HaQaretz
reported that Egypt continues to discuss a cease-fire along two
tracks -Q with Hamas and Israel. The Jerusalem Post quoted EU envoy
Marc Otte as saying that Israel and the PA are ready to reopen the
Rafah crossing.
The media reported that yesterday DM Ehud Barak told an election
rally at Beersheva's Ben-Gurion University that the best way to
achieve territorial continuity between Gaza and the West Bank would
be by digging a tunnel that would connect the two areas. He said
the tunnel would be 48 kilometers long and cost $2-3 billion. The
Jerusalem Post reported that right-wing Knesset members quickly
criticized Barak's proposal, saying it would only add to Israel's
security concerns.
Electronic media reported that a Grad rocket landed this morning in
the center of Ashkelon. No one was injured.
Makor Rishon-Hatzofe reported that GermanyQs trade with Iran has
increased despite promises and international sanctions. German
exports to Iran have grown by 20%, reaching $6 billion. The
Jerusalem Post reported that Israeli and visiting experts at the
Herzliya conference countered IAEA Director Mohamed ElBaradeiQs
comments on CNN on Sunday, saying that he lacks reliable information
on the time that the world has to engage Iran and the percentage of
that countryQs uranium enrichment. Israel Radio quoted an Israeli
space technology expert as saying that an initial examination showed
that the Iranian satellite had indeed gone into orbit and as such,
Iran had joined a very small club of countries with satellite
capability. The expert said that the satellite that Iran launched
was relatively small, with limited broadcast and reception ability.
However, he said this was a technological achievement, since Iran
had developed the satellite by itself, even if it did receive help
from Russia, China, or North Korea.
Maariv cited the claim of senior Likud members that party leader
Benjamin Netanyahu is costing Likud five Knesset seats because of
his weak response to the campaign of Yisrael Beiteinu head Avigdor
Lieberman.
The Jerusalem Post reported that senior defense officials told the
daily yesterday that Israel asked the U.S. and the EU to change the
mandate of their fleets operating in the Red Sea and the
Mediterranean to allow them to board and detain vessels shipping
weapons to Hamas in Gaza.
Israel Radio and other media quoted Deputy Turkish PM Cemil Cicek as
saying yesterday: "We give special importance to our bilateral ties
with Israel and we want to preserve ties with that country. We are
now looking towards the future. Turkey is not targeting Israel and
the Israeli people." The radio quoted Turkish FM Ali Babacan as
saying that Turkey is prepared to resume mediation between Israel
and Syria when the time comes. The Jerusalem Post reported that an
official with a leading American Jewish organization told the
newspaper yesterday that a deterioration in Israel-Turkey relations
might prompt his group and others to reconsider Armenian efforts to
win recognition of the century-old Turkish massacres as a genocide.
The Jerusalem Post cited a new book by former U.S. Ambassador to
Israel Martin Indyk that claims that Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor
Lieberman conducted a secret dialogue with Palestinian negotiators
at the end of the Clinton administration.
Yediot (Shimon Shiffer) reported that the reason the U.S. denied
former Israeli national security adviser Uzi Arad a visa was that he
is suspected of QmilkingQ sensitive information from Pentagon
officials.
Leading media quoted FM and Kadima leader Tzipi Livni as saying
yesterday at the 9th annual Herzliya Conference: QThe choice will be
between a Jewish state and a binational one. Will we be a state of
fear or a state of hope?Q The Jerusalem Post quoted Livni as sayng
at the conference that if Israel fails to initiate a peace plan
after the elections, QweQll get the Arab initiative.Q The Jerusalem
Post quoted Foreign Ministry Director-General Aharon Abramovich as
saying yesterday at the conference that IsraelQs chief foreign
policy goal in 2009 will be sustain the isolation of Hamas in the
international arena in order to make room for a peace process
between Israel and the Palestinians. Leading media quoted President
Shimon Peres as saying at the conference that, whoever leads it, the
new government must continue the peace process.
Maariv quoted senior Labor Party officials as saying that their
partyQs success at the polls will allow its entrance into a
Netanyahu government. Maariv cited the concern of Kadima officials
that Russian speakers are fleeing to the right.
Leading media reported that yesterday an IDF unit killed a terrorist
in the southern Hebron Hills. Media quoted the army as saying that
he was about to carry out a large-scale attack in southern Israel.
The Jerusalem Post reported that yesterday Israel slammed the UN for
sending goods to Gaza without the countryQs OK. The newspaper
reported that UNRWA will improve aid audits to allay Israel fears.
Maariv reported that senior Syrian officers trained Hamas fighters
in the use of anti-tank weapons. Major media reported that
yesterday in Tehran Hamas leader Khaled Mashal thanked Iran for its
help in fighting Israel.
Makor Rishon-Hatzofe quoted former U.S. Ambassador to the UN John
Bolton as saying at the Herzliya Conference that the U.S. wasted
five years in its handling of the Iranian nuclear program.
Yediot reported that yesterday senior Israeli legal sources assessed
that a suit at the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Israel
over war crimes in Gaza would have no chance of being accepted.
Yediot reported that Luis Moreno Ocampo, the ICCQs chief prosecutor,
raised the possibility in an interview with the London daily The
Times that he could file such a suit by defining Gaza as a Qde facto
state.Q Yediot cited IsraelQs strenuous opposition to OcampoQs
claim. The Jerusalem Post reported that yesterday the Justice
Ministry briefed the seven Israeli officials possibly facing
prosecution in Spain. The Jerusalem Post quoted a Spanish diplomat
as saying yesterday that the Spanish government is considering a
proposal to amend a controversial proposal that would allow a Madrid
court to investigate Israelis over the killing of Palestinians. The
Jerusalem Post reported that Col. (res.) Geva Rapp, who was involved
in Operation Cast Lead, returned to Israel from Britain in haste on
Friday, fearing arrest on charges of war crimes.
HaQaretz reported that the government will impose sanctions on
Israel-based employees of Al Jazeera-TV in response to the closure
last month of the Israeli trade office in Qatar, which hosts and
funds the network. Qatar had closed the office in opposition to
Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip.
HaQaretz and The Jerusalem Post reported that EgyptQs Supreme
Administrative Court ruled yesterday that the country must continue
supplying natural gas to Israel. The Cairo-based court thereby
overturned an interim injunction issued by a lower court last
November, which had ordered the gas supply suspended -- though in
fact, that ruling was never implemented.
HaQaretz quoted the Central Elections Committee as saying yesterday
that it did not have legal authority to prevent Baruch Marzel, head
of the far-right Jewish National Front party, from serving as poll
supervisor in Umm al-Fahm, Israel's second-largest Arab city, when
Israelis vote on February 10.
Maariv ran a feature on the American JewsQ Qidentity crisis.
Yediot reported that yesterday Black Hebrew leader Eliyakim
Ben-Israel obtained Israeli citizenship after 40 years in the
country. The Black Hebrews are a sect of African-Americans who came
to the country in the 60s.
HaQaretz, Yediot, and The Jerusalem Post cited U.S. government
documents and interviews revealing that the National Security Agency
helped uncover a 1973 plot to bomb New York City that was meant to
coincide with Israeli prime minister Golda Meir's arrival in the
city.
Maariv reported that Israeli-Arab actress Hiam Abbas will play the
lead role in Julian SchnabelQs upcoming movie, QMiral,Q which is
about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

¶1. Israeli Elections:
----------------------
Summary:
--------
The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized: QDuring the
short interval that is left until the elections, the voters must
demand clear answers and unequivocal commitments on matters of
security, politics, society, and economy.
Diplomatic correspondent Ben Caspit wrote on page one of the
popular, pluralist Maariv: QThe right wing bloc is growing, but is
passing over Bibi's head and flowing on, toward the right, toward
Lieberman. Netanyahu feels pressured.

¶I. "The Three Mimics"
The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized (2/3): QIn
theory, Tzipi Livni, Ehud Barak, and Benjamin Netanyahu, the heads
of Kadima, Labor, and Likud respectively, pose three options for the
voters: center, left and right. In practice, all three are putting
forth an agenda that distorts any significant commitment or
position.... It is hard to shake off the feeling that this sort of
lack of clear distinction is intentional. The three candidates, and
the parties they lead, are not offering a political alternative to
the current direction. On the contrary: They are building an alibi
for the day after the elections, when they and their political
factions will become part of the three-part puzzle that will set up
a coalition with Shas, the ultra-Orthodox parties, and, most likely,
and in spite of the limp opposition of Labor, also with Avigdor
Lieberman. Electing the three candidates while their positions are
not clear, in view of the extremism on the political periphery, the
breakdown of the Knesset into small factions, and the difficult
challenges facing the next government, is dangerous. During the
short interval that is left until the elections, the voters must
demand clear answers and unequivocal commitments on matters of
security, politics, society, and economy.
II. QFinal Week
Diplomatic correspondent Ben Caspit wrote on page one of the
popular, pluralist Maariv (2/3): QNot that long ago, the polls
showed that the Likud and Kadima, together, had something like 60
seats -- the Likud just over 30, Kadima just less. In the meantime,
the war broke out, it ended, the campaign broke out, and is about to
end. Kadima and the Likud together barely scrape together 50 seats.
They've dropped ten seats. These were picked up by Avigdor
Lieberman. This phenomenon, which will be studied one day, has made
Benjamin Netanyahu lose sleep at night. The right wing bloc is
growing, but is passing over Bibi's head and flowing on, toward the
right, toward Lieberman. Netanyahu feels pressured. With all due
respect, the Lieberman thing was not supposed to spin out of
control. Now, he may yet have to take him as a senior coalition
partner. That was not the intention. But that, so far, is the
result. The reason for this is mainly because of the fierce battle
that has been waged between the Likud and Kadima.

¶2. Mideast:
------------
Summary:
--------
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized: QThe
harsh reality may be that once a new government is formed, it will
find it necessary to order the IDF to retake and hold the
Philadelphi Corridor, along with parts of northern Gaza. If the
Arab world and the international community don't want that to
happen, now is the time for them to lean on Hamas.
Liberal columnist and anchor Ofer Shelach wrote in the popular,
pluralist Maariv: QBasically, Erdogan is telling us, to our
astonishment, that Israel's acts have consequences and
ramifications.
Former Ambassador to the U.S., former Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and former Minister of Defense Moshe Arens wrote in the independent,
left-leaning Ha'aretz: QIt looks like rather than Hamas being taught
a lesson, it is Israel that is being taught a lesson it should
already have learned in the past.
Senior op-ed writer Akiva Eldar commented in Ha'aretz: Q[George
MitchellQs mission] leaves only Syrian President Bashar Assad
waiting in George Bush's axis of evil.

¶I. "Gaza Cease-Fire Talk"
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized (2/3):
QThe pressure is on for another Egyptian-brokered Gaza cease-fire
deal between Israel and Hamas.... What kind of cease-fire would
benefit Israel's interests? A one-year hiatus in Qassam and mortar
attacks in return for lifting the QsiegeQ is a bad idea. Been
there, done that. A good deal would give Israel a buffer zone
between it and the Strip. It would provide for tight control over
the crossing points from Egypt, and from Israel, into Gaza. Our
security is dependent on effective monitoring by reliable parties of
who comes in and goes out, and what material is brought into the
Strip. An effective deal would have Egypt genuinely securing its
side of the border; and we may be starting to see this happening....
Israel's outgoing cabinet must not allow itself to be stampeded into
a bad cease-fire deal. The harsh reality may be that once a new
government is formed, it will find it necessary to order the IDF to
retake and hold the Philadelphi Corridor, along with parts of
northern Gaza. If the Arab world and the international community
don't want that to happen, now is the time for them to lean on
Hamas.
II. "Listen to Erdogan"
Liberal columnist and anchor Ofer Shelach wrote in the popular,
pluralist Maariv (2/3): QThe demonstrations in Istanbul and the
diplomatic chill in Ankara, so the majority of Israelis are
convinced, are indeed QemotionalQ and reflect the fundamental
anti-Semitism or anti-Israeli-ism of most of the nations of the
world. And if what we do doesn't matter anyway, let's use savage
violence, which is welcomed with cheers of acclaim here at home....
Basically, Erdogan is telling us, to our astonishment, that Israel's
acts have consequences and ramifications. In the decision as to
whether to continue the operation by a few days, three weeks, or
until a full takeover of Gaza, such considerations as the effect on
relations with countries such as Turkey, and not only on it -
surprise -- should be taken into account. The usual perception
here, which was so disastrous in Gaza, just exactly as it was in
Lebanon, whereby the only thing that is important is Qhow much time
will the world give usQ -- i.e. how long until the U.S. President
pounds on the table and tells us he's fed up -- is childish
foolishness. Erdogan knows what every Israeli knows while
complaining of anti-Semitism and canceling [IsraelisQ] holidays to
Antalya: the decision to continue the operation in Gaza, to the
degree that this was a decision and not the outcome of compromise
among Olmert, Barak, and Livni, took into account its implications
for elections in Israel a lot more than it did foreign policy
considerations. He is not angry that the Prime Minister did not
talk to him before opening fire, but that he continued it for weeks
without considering what this does to the important mediator from
the Syrian track. He wants, how odd, for the Foreign Minister to be
the Foreign Minister and for the Defense Minister, who frequently
visits Turkey, to remember that Israel's security is not just about
how hard we hammer Hamas. Truly, a very emotional and strange man
this Erdogan.
III. "A Missed Opportunity"
Former Ambassador to the U.S., former Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and former Minister of Defense Moshe Arens wrote in the independent,
left-leaning Ha'aretz (2/3): QIt looks like rather than Hamas being
taught a lesson, it is Israel that is being taught a lesson it
should already have learned in the past.... It is obvious that the
Olmert government formulated the goal of Operation Cast Lead
primarily out of political considerations.... Not having destroyed
the Hamas capability to launch rockets against Israel, the
population in the south remains at the mercy of Hamas terrorists
even after the IDF's withdrawal. The IDF should have been given the
task of destroying Hamas's rocket capability and accomplishing that
task within a short time, something that the IDF easily had the
ability to do. As things stand, the basic situation in the south
has not changed, and will not change as a result of another
cease-fire with Hamas. Like the previous cease-fire with Hamas, it
will be a period giving Hamas a respite for rearming and preparing
for the next round while Israeli citizens in the south will have to
keep listening for the sound of rocket alerts. So here is another
lesson for Livni and Barak: No cease-fire with terrorists. Terror
has to be wiped out.
IV. "The Lion in the Waiting Room"
Senior op-ed writer Akiva Eldar commented in Ha'aretz (2/3):
QPresident Barack Obama's new Middle East envoy, George Mitchell,
shuttled last week between Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas, King Abdullah of Jordan, and Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak. That leaves only Syrian President Bashar
Assad waiting in George Bush's axis of evil. In discussions held on
the eve of Mitchell's departure for the region, it emerged that the
foreign relations teams of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and
Obama don't agree on how to proceed with Damascus. Several team
members advised Obama not to do any favors for Assad without getting
something in return and that Mitchell should head to Syria only when
armed with a shopping list. The new list would not only include
things that Israel is seeking from the Syrians.... With all due
respect to Washington's good intentions in promoting the peace
process between Damascus and Jerusalem, the White House has its own
Middle East agenda.
