¶3. Iran
-------------------------
Key stories in the media:
-------------------------
Over the weekend Channel 10-TV unofficially disclosed the basic
points of the interim report of the Winograd Commission probing the
Second Lebanon War, which will be handed over to PM Ehud Olmert and
Defense Minister Amir Peretz at 4 P.M. [09:00 EDT] today, and
presented to the public one hour later. All media followed in the
footsteps of Channel 10-TV. The media said that the commission will
determine that Olmert erred in his judgment, that Peretz was dragged
behind the army, and that former IDF chief of staff Dan Halutz
imposed his views on Peretz and ignored Hizbullah's Katyusha rocket
threat. Ha'aretz quoted a senior Kadima member as saying last night
that Olmert would sooner or later be asked by his party to step down
as PM in order t avoid "dragging the party down with him." The
Jerusalem Post quoted Olmert's associates as saying that they
expected today to be a difficult day, but that they were not
concerned that the interim report would hasten the end of Olmert's
political career, because his rivals in Kadima, Labor, and Likud all
have an interest in allowing him to remain prime minister -- at
least until the release of the final Winograd report in July, which
is expected to be more critical. The Jerusalem Post reported on FM
Tzipi Livni's popularity among Kadima members, even though Olmert
associates admitted there was "frustration" inside Olmert's bureau
with Livni's silence about the commission's report and the spate of
political meetings she has held in recent days. Ha'aretz reported
that Peretz associates told the newspaper on Sunday that Peretz will
apparently not be forced to resign by the commission's findings.
Yediot reported on the opposition's expected moves following the
disclosure of the Winograd report. The newspaper said that Likud
and National Union-National Religious Party want to move up the
elections. Yediot noted Meretz's hesitancy because of the fear that
new elections would bring back Binyamin Netanyahu to power. The
newspaper reported that Netanyahu will respond to the report only
after he reads it.
Yediot: disclosed that over the past year Syria has built a
fortified compound deep underground, with dozens of bunkers ready
for the launching of missiles against Israel and that the IAF cannot
destroy.
Israel Radio quoted Damascus-based Hamas leader Khaled Mashal as
confirming in an interview with the Palestinian daily Al-Ayyam that
Fatah-Tanzim leader Marwan Barghouti is included among the prisoners
that Hamas wants released.
On Sunday leading media reported that on Saturday PM Olmert's bureau
denied that Olmert had told the German magazine Focus that Iran's
disputed program could be severely hit by firing 1,000 cruise
missiles during a 10-day attack. Focus said its reporter, Amir
Taheri, asked Olmert in an interview whether military action would
be an option if Iran continued to defy the United Nations. It quoted
Olmert as responding: "Nobody is ruling it out. It is impossible
perhaps to destroy the entire nuclear program but it would be
possible to damage it in such a way that it would be set back
years," Focus quoted Olmert as saying. "It would take 10 days and
would involve the firing of 1,000 Tomahawk cruise missiles," it
quoted him as saying.
Over the weekend the media reported that on Saturday the IDF shot
and killed three Palestinians who were spotted planting an explosive
device next to the Gaza Strip security fence near the Kissufim
Crossing. Leading media reported that over the weekend the IDF
arrested dozens of Palestinians in the West Bank.
Leading media reported that IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi told
the cabinet on Sunday that Hizbullah is trying move back into south
Lebanon, and that weapons smuggling from Syria continues. Yediot
and The Jerusalem Post quoted Ashkenazi as saying that a large-scale
operation in the Gaza Strip may be necessary if Qassam rocket fire
continues. The Jerusalem Post reported that on Sunday Gen. Burhan
Hammad of the Egyptian General Intelligence Force launched a
scathing attack on Palestinian armed groups for continuing to fire
rockets at Israel and warned that the Palestinians will pay a heavy
price if the IDF invades the Gaza Strip.
The Jerusalem Post reported that on Sunday PM Olmert opposed solo
efforts by Defense Minister Peretz to evacuate Hebron settler from
the four-story structure they move into on March 19. Olmert was
quoted as saying that the cabinet would first hold a discussion on
the subject.
The Jerusalem Post reported that US Congresswoman Shelley Berkley
(D-NV) is threatening to take legislative action against Saudi
Arabia following a report in The Jerusalem Post that the desert
kingdom took part in an Arab League conference aimed at
strengthening the boycott of Israel.
Yediot reported that in August an Indian launcher will send off the
most advanced Israeli satellite so far.
On Sunday The Jerusalem Post reported that New York Senator Hillary
Rodham Clinton was the most applauded among the Democratic
presidential candidates who addressed the National Jewish Democratic
Council last week.
The Jerusalem Post reported that over 270 BBC journalists have
signed a petition opposing the decision earlier this month by the
UK's largest union of journalists to boycott Israeli goods, saying
they are "dismayed" at the passing of the motion.
Yediot and other media reported that on Sunday the heads of Yad
Vashem called on UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to dispatch an
army to Darfur in order to stop the genocide there.
The Jerusalem Post noted the key role of US and Canadian Jewry in
filling the role of the GOI in helping the population of northern
Israel during the Second Lebanon War. The newspaper also printed an
AP story that Israel will name a forest in northern Galilee after
Coretta Scott King, the late widow of the Rev. Martin Luther King,
Jr., as the country replants thousands of trees destroyed during the
war.
Ha'aretz printed an AP wire report quoting producers of Sesame
Street that new episodes of the program are going on in Israel and
the Palestinian territories. On Sunday Gary Knell, president of
Sesame Workshop, the New York-based nonprofit group behind Sesame
Street programming worldwide, met with Aliza Olmert, the PM's wife,
and Education Minister Yuli Tamir. Knell was quoted as saying: "It
is really about respect and tolerance."
Yediot reported that the government is demanding the expansion of
Shin Bet and police supervision, especially over university and
stock exchange computers.
Leading media reported that on Sunday an Israeli court sentenced
Baruch Dadon, a state witness who had testified against underworld
kingpin Zeev Rosenstein, to 10 years imprisonment mostly for
offenses committed n the US. Rosenstein was extradited from the US
in March.
Ha'aretz reported that the American hedge funds group
Cerberus-Gabriel is asking Israel to give it USD 1785 million, or
17.5 percent of the price it is expected to pay for the 20-percent
controlling in Bank Leumi, Israel's second-largest bank. Ha'aretz's
estimate follows a conclusion reached by the Bank of Israel and the
Finance Ministry that the Leumi option is worth USD 25 million a
month.

¶1. Winograd Probe Into 2nd Lebanon War:
----------------------------------------
Summary:
--------
Senior columnist Nahum Barnea wrote on page one of the
mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot: "There is no doubt that
the overwhelming majority of public opinion does not want Olmert and
does not want Peretz.... [But] either the people prefer to let the
political establishment take its course, or else they are sick of
everyone."
Diplomatic correspondent Ben Caspit wrote on page one of the
popular, pluralist Maariv: "The public will have its say -- a large
tsunami that will flood the government complex, blowing wind upon
SIPDIS
the embers of rebellion."
The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized: "There is no
reason to wait for the final report [of the Winograd Commission
probing the Second Lebanon War]. The interim report is sufficient
in order to justify the national lack of confidence in Olmert."
Deputy Managing Editor Anshel Pfeffer wrote on page one of the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post: "The polls show that
disillusionment with the current government is all but universal,
but where are the masses?"
Block Quotes:

¶I. "The Last Battle"
Senior columnist Nahum Barnea wrote on page one of the
mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot (4/30): "There was a
failed war here in the summer. It was the most naked of Israel's
wars.... New details can be revealed to us, here and there, but all
in all, it is very hard to surprise us. We know what expectations
Olmert, Peretz, and Halutz created in the public, and we know what
the results were on the ground. It is not the thirst for answers
that led to the committee being formed, it was the hunger for
punishment.... However, the report is a very important milestone in
the public battle over the responsibility for the failures of the
war. There is no doubt that the overwhelming majority of public
opinion does not want Olmert and does not want Peretz. The question
is, to what degree it does not want them. Will it go out into the
streets? Will it take to the barricades? Judging by all the signs,
the answer to these questions is negative. Either the people prefer
to let the political establishment take its course, or else they are
sick of everyone.... Olmert has been preparing for the past two
weeks for the counterattack.... If only Olmert had prepared for the
war the way he prepared for the war over the report, said one of his
associates, perhaps there would be no committee and no report. If
only."
II. "The Battle of His Life"
Diplomatic correspondent Ben Caspit wrote on page one of the
popular, pluralist Maariv (4/30): "Today, Ehud Olmert is starting
the battle of his life. This is not even a trace of exaggeration.
He has no intention of giving up. In meetings that he held over the
past several days with his close associates, he sounded determined,
aggressive, and combative.... Olmert has been making these very
sharp statements in the direction of his deputy, Foreign Minister
Tzipi Livni. She will pay with her head, he says. What she did to
me over the past several weeks will not go away quietly. Some of
those close to him swear that immediately after Olmert survives the
current adventure, he intends to remove Livni. In other words: her
head will roll. A warning comment should be added to that
statement.... It is not clear whether Olmert is surviving.... So
much for his determination. Behind closed doors, Olmert is wounded
to his very soul. He feels betrayed, deceived.... Livni herself has
gotten cold feet over the past several days. The 'putsch' planned
for the day that the report is presented was postponed. Now they
are waiting for what will happen on the street. The public will
have its say -- a large tsunami that will flood the government
complex, blowing wind upon the embers of rebellion."
III. "No Confidence in Olmert"
The independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized (4/30): "The
vast majority of the Israeli public agreed with the justice of the
government's decision not to show restraint following the Hizbullah
attack on July 12 last year. The military response ran into
trouble, escalated and developed into a campaign resembling
full-scale war. The disappointing results of this campaign do not
retroactively negate the correctness of the decision to change the
policies of the previous governments led by Ehud Barak and Ariel
Sharon: merely watching Hizbullah's military buildup and
provocations, while doing nothing. This situation, which evolved
during the six years following the withdrawal from Lebanon, needed
to be changed through a combined diplomatic and military effort. It
is not the logic behind the campaign that proved faulty, but its
execution.... On the basis of what has been published about the
interim report even before its official release, it seems that
committee members did not discover any previously unknown facts that
might alter the grim picture that the public drew of the war as it
lengthened and proceeded to its frustrating and depressing end. The
public's conclusion was unequivocal -- that the country's security
should not be left to the people who failed in the war, especially
in view of the threats that still hover over us. This prevailing
mood is clearly reflected in all the polls, and it stands in stark
contrast to Olmert's apparently strong position in the Knesset.
Now, the Winograd Commission is essentially adding its findings to
this general mood. There is no reason to wait for the final report.
The interim report is sufficient in order to justify the national
lack of confidence in Olmert."
IV. "A Watershed Event?"
Deputy Managing Editor Anshel Pfeffer wrote on page one of the
conservative, independent Jerusalem Post (4/30): "The polls show
that disillusionment with the current government is all but
universal, but where are the masses?.... Veteran activists complain
about the public's apathy and claim that we have become an insular
society in which few are prepared to act upon their convictions.
They hark back to the days after the 1973 Yom Kippur War when the
public anger at the great failure forced prime minister Golda Meir
to resign. Another historical fact less often mentioned is that
despite the widespread criticism, Meir had gone on to win a general
election two months after the war. She resigned only three and a
half months later, despite the fact that the Agranat Commission
[that probed that war] had found her decisions during the war
justified. The public's anger was too great to withstand. This
time around, it's also too early to count out the Israeli public,
but it might take a while."

¶2. Mideast:
------------
Summary:
--------
Prominent liberal novelist Amos Oz wrote in the mass-circulation,
pluralist Yediot Aharonot: "The time has come to admit openly that
we had a role in the flight of the Palestinian refugees."
Block Quotes:

"To Deal with the Refugee Problem"
Prominent liberal novelist Amos Oz wrote in the mass-circulation,
pluralist Yediot Aharonot (4/29): "Every time we Israelis hear the
'problem of the 1948 refugees' our stomach contracts with anxiety
and refusal. The refugee problem has become for us synonymous with
the right of return, and the right of return is the destruction of
Israel. Perhaps the time has come for us to put our thoughts in
order and distinguish between the refugee problem and what is known
as the right of return. Because the refugee problem can and must be
solved by means other than a return of refugees into the State of
Israel's borders of peace. The demand for the return of the
refugees into the territory of the State of Israel needs to be
rejected because, if it is made manifest, we will have two
Palestinian states here and not a single state for the Jewish
people.... The time has come to admit openly that we had a role in
the flight of the Palestinian refugees: albeit, not sole
responsibility and not sole blame, but our hands are not clean....
The very fact of an Israeli admission to part of the blame for the
flight of the Palestinian refugees, the very expression of
willingness to shoulder part of the burden of finding a solution,
could create a positive shockwave on the Palestinian side. An
emotional rupture of sorts that will help quite a bit with future
dialogue.... Dealing with the roots of the problem will oblige
addressing the fact that hundreds of thousands of Jews were uprooted
from their homes in Arab countries and the conclusions that stem
from that fact. Both for moral reasons and for security reasons
Israel needs to want to solve the problem of the Palestinian
refugees from 1948. We are talking about a financial effort that is
going to have to be shouldered by the countries of the West, Israel
and the rich Arab states. Violence will decrease and the despair
that engenders extremism will begin to diminish when the people who
live in the camps of suffering and degeneration hear that their
lives in misery are about to end. And from Israel's perspective,
even if we sign agreements with all of our enemies, as long as no
solution is found to the plight of the refugees, we will not have
quiet."

¶3. Iran:
---------
Summary:
--------
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized:
"Sanctions, not diplomacy, will be the primary means to avoid the
twin dangers of a nuclear Iran and the necessity of military
action."
Block Quotes:
-------------
"Sanctions First"
The conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized (4/30):
"What is going on here? Why is the US, which has refused to engage
in direct talks until Iran suspends uranium enrichment, attending a
high level meeting with Iran? Why would the State Department,
according to The Washington Post, be 'open to direct talks with...
Iran over Iraq'? Is this not like inviting the fox to discuss
security in the hen house? This is even more mysterious given White
House criticism of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for traveling to
Syria.... The mistake ... of engagement advocates is one of timing.
In the case of Libya, it was obviously necessary to engage once
sanctions had worked and the regime decided that its pursuit of
nuclear weapons and support for terrorism were costing more than
abandoning those policies. It should be equally clear, with Iran
forging ahead ever faster with its nuclear program, that now is the
time to change Tehran's calculus through a dramatic tightening of
international sanctions. Europe, in particular, must catch up with
the US in imposing financial and trade sanctions that have already
been successful at increasing pressure on the regime. Sanctions,
not diplomacy, will be the primary means to avoid the twin dangers
of a nuclear Iran and the necessity of military action."
