Israel: Acting PM Ehud Olmert
-------------------------
Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
The media reported that according to results from a
vote of Likud Central Committee members in Tel Aviv
last night, the first names on the Likud's Knesset list
will be party chairman Binyamin Netanyahu, outgoing FM
Silvan Shalom, and Knesset members Moshe Kahlon, Gilad
Erdan, Gideon Saar and Michael Eitan, Knesset Speaker
Reuven Rivlin, outgoing Health Minister Danny Naveh and
Knesset Member Yuval Steinitz. Although the top names
on the list are generally associated with tough
ideological positions, the key Likud "rebels"
(including outgoing Education Minister Limor Livnat and
Knesset Member Uzi Landau) were placed lower on the
list. The media quoted Netanyahu as saying that the
Likud's new team is "young and experienced."
Leading media reported that on Thursday, Acting PM Ehud
Olmert and President Bush talked on the phone for the
fist time since PM Sharon's hospitalization. Ha'aretz
quoted the President as saying that he has not
forgotten the view of Jerusalem that Olmert showed him
during his 1988 visit as Governor of Texas. The
President reportedly told Olmert that Hamas must change
its policy toward Israel and recognize its right to
exist. Ha'aretz quoted Bush as saying that there
cannot be peace with terror organizations, and that the
PA must prove it can act against terror. Bush was
quoted as saying that the U.S. is acting to establish
democratic institutions in the PA that promote peace
and not terror, adding that this was his position and
he would not change it. Bush was quoted as saying that
he planned to continue implementing his shared vision
with Sharon for the peace process in the region.
Ha'aretz cited Olmert's response that he would do
everything in his power to promote that vision, "but it
is important that the PA chair dismantle terror
organizations, because otherwise it will be impossible
to move forward with a government in which terror
organizations are partners." Bush reportedly ended the
call by expressing admiration for Sharon and said that
when he wakes up, tell him his friend asked about him.
Various media cited different parts of the telephone
call. Maariv and Hatzofe quoted Labor Party Knesset
Member Yitzhak Herzog as saying that Olmert's reported
invitation to the White House is a blatant intervention
in the Israeli elections. Israel Radio reported that
Vice Premier Shimon Peres will leave for the U.S.
during the weekend to meet with Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice.
Israel Radio reported that this morning, Olmert met
with U.S. envoys A/S David Welch and Deputy U.S.
National Security Advisor Elliott Abrams, and that they
discussed the upcoming elections in the PA and raised
concerns that Hamas could win a majority and even
strive to form the next Palestinian government. The
station reported that top Sharon aide Dov Weisglass,
the PM's Diplomatic Adviser Shalom Turgeman, the PM's
Military Secretary Maj. Gen Gad Shamni, and U.S.
Ambassador to Israel Richard Jones, attended the
meeting. Yediot quoted Hamas's most prominent leader
in Gaza and the West Bank, Mahmoud Zahar, as saying
Wednesday in an interview with The New York Times that
his faction would refuse to recognize Israel or disarm
even if it won in the Palestinian elections this month.
Major media cited similar statements by other Hamas
leaders.
All media reported that on Thursday, the Likud
ministers caved in to party head Binyamin Netanyahu and
one by one announced their resignation from the
cabinet. Leading media reported that Olmert will name
current Justice Minister Tzipi Livni foreign minister
on Sunday. Israel Radio said that this precluded the
possibility that Vice Premier Shimon Peres could be
foreign minister during the period leading up to the
elections.
Ha'aretz reported that since the second week of
December 2005, the IDF has severed the northern part of
the West Bank from other parts, and prohibited
residents from traveling toward Ramallah The
newspaper said that the ban applies to some 800,000
people, residents of the Tulkarm, Nablus, and Jenin
provinces. Until January 2, the ban applied just to
residents of Jenin and Tulkarm. Since then it has been
extended to Nablus area residents.
Leading media reported that on Thursday in Jenin, IDF
troops killed two wanted Islamic Jihad activists
Israel Radio reported that last night, two Katyusha
rockets were fired into Israel, and that the IDF
responded with artillery fire at the northern Gaza
Strip.
Ha'aretz, The Jerusalem Post, and other media reported
that on Thursday, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz decided
to postpone the evacuation of the settlement outpost of
Amona, near Ofra, for another two weeks. Mofaz cited a
pending High Court of Justice petition and the PA
legislative elections as reasons for his decision.
Media also reported that Mofaz ordered the dismantling
of three Nablus-area outposts -- the Aroussi Farm near
Bracha, the Skelly Farm near Elon Moreh and Hill 725
near Yitzhar -- to proceed. A few dozen settlers live
in these three outposts, and the evacuations will
probably take place next week. Ha'aretz wrote that
Mofaz's decision is apparently due partly to U.S.
pressure and partly to the desire of Mofaz's party,
Kadima, to paint itself as tough on enforcing the law
in the territories. Ha'aretz reported that on Thursday,
the army demolished four foundations for prefab houses
that had been built without a permit in the settlement
of Rahelim. Ha'aretz quoted Mofaz associates as saying
that the Minister is particularly anxious to move
against the three Nablus-area outposts, because many
Palestinian olive trees in their vicinity have been
vandalized, and the government has decided to crack
down on the vandals.
Israel Radio reported that eight Knesset members from
the Shinui party, including party leader Yosef (Tommy)
Lapid, who was elected to the first slot on Shinui's
Knesset list, and Knesset Member Avraham Poraz, quit
the party last night, after the party council
confounded predictions on Thursday by ousting Poraz,
one of Shinui's founders, from the No. 2 slot. In
second place, the council chose Ron Levinthal, a Tel
Aviv city councilman who has led the party's internal
opposition to the Lapid-Poraz duo. The media also
reported on the results of internal elections in two
right-wing parties: Moledet leader Knesset Member Benny
Elon was elected No.1 by the party's council members
and will head the joint National Union list. Knesset
Member Aryeh Eldad came in second in the Moledet vote.
In the National Religious Party's central committee
vote, party chairman MK Zevulun Orlev was automatically
placed first. Nissan Slomiansky came second.
Major media reported that on Thursday, U.S. Evangelical
leader Pat Robertson sent a letter of apology to PM
Sharon's son, Omri Sharon, for his remarks last week
that PM Sharon's stroke was divine punishment for the
Gaza withdrawal.
A senior IDF officer was quoted as saying in an
interview with The Jerusalem Post that the behavior and
actions of extremists Jewish groups operating in
Samaria (the northern West Bank) pose a far greater
threat than terror actions to the people of Israel.
Maariv quoted Lebanese parliamentarian and Druze leader
Walid Jumblatt as saying that the Sheba Farms belong to
Syria -- contrary to claims by Hizbullah.
Yediot reported that on Thursday, the U.S.
administration issued an ultimatum to Iran, warning it
that it could incur severe sanctions if it does not
stop development work at its nuclear facilities. The
newspaper noted that for the first time, European
countries and Russia endorsed the U.S. move. The
Jerusalem Post quoted Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mark
Regev as saying: "Israel supports the European
position."
Leading media cited a Bank of Israel statement issued
Thursday that the New Israeli Shekel is on its way to
inclusion in the list of currencies exchangeable
through the Continuous Linked Settlement (CLS),
allowing real-time shekel exchanges involving banks
around the world at any time.
Maariv reported that on Thursday in Tel Aviv, the
police's IPR unit raided the largest factory of
counterfeit CDs in Israel.
The Jerusalem Post quoted visiting U.S. Congressman Tim
Ryan (D-OH) as saying that the U.S. should follow
Israel's lead in hi-tech support. The newspaper
printed a picture of Ryan with Ambassador Jones and
Akron, OH, Mayor Don Plusquellic, at the Ambassador's
Residence in Herzliya.
The Jerusalem Post reported that the two largest firms
in the U.S. specializing in Israeli companies --
Shiboleth, Yisraeli, Roberts & Zisman one on side, and
Heiman Law Group on the other -- have merged as the
partners look to exploit the ever increasing activity
of Israel companies in the country.
A Yediot/Mina Zemach (Dahaf Institute) poll:

would you vote?" (Results in Knesset seats -- in
brackets, results of previous poll; if no results in

Israel: Acting PM Ehud Olmert:
------------------------------
Summary:
--------
Diplomatic correspondent Shimon Shiffer wrote in mass-
circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot: "The American
choice of Olmert stems primarily from their
understanding that he is the authentic successor of
Sharon, the great and ultimate friend of Bush, Cheney,
and Rice."
Washington correspondent Nathan Guttman wrote in the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post: "The interest
the U.S. began to show in Olmert was part of its effort
to understand Sharon himself, not to look at possible
successors."
Senior columnist and chief defense commentator Zeev
Schiff wrote in independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz:
"[Ehud Olmert] will get a historical opportunity to
implement what is very important for Israel:
maintaining its Jewish and democratic independence, and
guaranteeing its security."
Block Quotes:

ΒΆI. "American Aid"
Diplomatic correspondent Shimon Shiffer wrote in mass-
circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot (January 13):
"Olmert, as in an ancient rite of passing the torch
from one tribal chieftain to another, said [in his
phone conversation with President Bush on Thursday]
that he would do his best to promote the 'Bush-Sharon
vision.' In the American view, Olmert passed his first
foreign policy test this week with full success, in the
decision to permit the East Jerusalem Arabs to
participate in the Palestinian parliamentary elections.
In closed conversations, Olmert says that he acted
precisely according to the secret understandings that
were reached on this matter between Sharon and the
White House.... The White House has already decided to
invite Olmert for talks with President Bush in
February, even before the Knesset elections. [U.S.]
administration officials explain that behind the
invitation stand issues that cannot be delayed: Iran's
efforts to attain nuclear arms, the outcome of the
elections in the Palestinian Authority and the
situation on the northern border with Hizbullah and
Syria.... The American choice of Olmert stems primarily
from their understanding that he is the authentic
successor of Sharon, the great and ultimate friend of
Bush, Cheney, and Rice. And there is also another
reason, which is Washington's opinion of the other two
candidates. Officials in the U.S. capital view
Netanyahu as a controversial figure. 'He is
unpredictable,' say sources in Washington. As for Amir
Peretz -- he is perceived by several White House
officials as 'an oddity, half a Communist, something
like John Sweeney, secretary of the labor unions in the
United States.'"
II. "How America Sees Israel's Acting Prime Minister"
Washington correspondent Nathan Guttman wrote in the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post (January 13):
"A week after the completion of Israel's withdrawal
from Gaza, Ehud Olmert -- then ministry of industry,
trade and labor -- was invited to Washington for what
was described as a 'personal meeting' with Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice.... The interest the U.S. began
to show in Olmert was part of its effort to understand
Sharon himself, not to look at possible successors....
Olmert gained recognition by the Americans as a
significant player in the Israeli policy field only
after the disengagement plan was presented. Yet the
U.S. administration never paid attention to Olmert as a
possible leader of Israel, assuming he lacked public
popularity because of a reading -- true at the time --
of internal Likud politics. In the week and a half
since Sharon's hospitalization, the U.S. administration
has been scrambling to figure out Olmert. Sources in
touch with administration officials say that Olmert is
perceived in America as a worthy candidate -- a
pragmatic centrist who, if elected, will continue in
Sharon's path toward a two-state solution -- albeit one
who lacks Sharon's power.... Now, with Sharon out of
the picture, Olmert has less than three months to
cultivate the same kind of relationship with Bush that
Sharon enjoyed -- in order to capitalize on it in the
March 28 elections."
III. "Olmert's Strategic Options"
Senior columnist and chief defense commentator Zeev
Schiff wrote in independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz
(January 13): "Israel's next prime minister will
apparently be the head of the Kadima party, Ehud
Olmert.... After the elections, the government he heads
will confront a number of options. Each will dictate a
different strategy. One possibility is that the
Palestinians will continue the terror. The Israeli
government will wait for the fulfillment of the road
map by the Palestinians, and meanwhile will react with
military moves. Washington will consider that a
defensive war, but will demand that Olmert fulfill
Sharon's promise to dismantle the illegal outposts and
stop the expansion of the existing settlements....
Another strategic option, which is more difficult to
carry out, and therefore has less of a chance, is to
aim directly for a final status agreement.... The third
strategic option brings Olmert and the Israeli
government back to unilateral moves. With this option,
Israel will try on its own to determine the temporary
borders, which are mentioned in the Roadmap, vis a vis
the Palestinian entity, which will later become a
state. Israel cannot do this without additional
withdrawals, or only by means of a security fence and
separation. This means that first of all, there has to
be a withdrawal from isolated settlements and illegal
outposts. And later, there must be a withdrawal from
Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem. That is very far
from what Olmert was once willing to accept, as a Likud
man. This time, he will get a historical opportunity
to implement what is very important for Israel:
maintaining its Jewish and democratic independence, and
guaranteeing its security."
