Die kindische Logik mancher Politiker ist schon erstaunlich: Israel has asked Egypt to incorporate a deal to free abducted soldier Gilad Shalit into Hamas truce talks being mediated by Cairo. The cease-fire talks will resume next week, Haaretz has learned. A Hamas official said that the group does not oppose including Shalit in truce deal but the would agree to such a move on its own terms, Israel Radio reported on Friday. Actually we wanted to recapture the Gaza Strip now. According to Ayma Taha, a Hamas spokesman, the delegation will travel to Egypt for a week. to be disutiert over the relocation of the meeting in which expressions of Israelis to Egypt's intelligence chief Suleiman earlier this week [note the 12 days that lie between them] there are no indications that means so much to the Suleiman the delegation conveyed one has not needed . appear Abnormal error actually brought Separate ceasefire for Mubarak is the fact that his original intention of a reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas has failed to obtain. "Egypt's intelligence chief, General Omar Suleiman, will meet a delegation of Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip on Sunday," The indicated variation in the link I think is a hoax. After early morning attacks from the Gaza Strip Hamas shelling Israeli fighter planes armed units. No victim reports. Afterwards peace breaks out. Before the Rosary Sisters School, a Catholic facility in Gaza City in an arson attack perpetrated. [...] The recent visit by Egyptian intelligence chief Gen. Omar Suleiman to Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories was supposed to help advance a ceasefire deal between the Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip, headed by Hamas, and the Jewish state. However, the likelihood of this is low, many analysts here say, with the most probable best case scenario being a reduction in the intensity of the conflict , lessening the chances of civilians on both sides of the Gaza-Israeli border getting hurt or killed.
In the West Bank is relatively quiet, except for the usual daily free friendship Meetings: Dozens of settlers from the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar rioted in the village of Asira al-Kabaliya , Palestinian sources reported Friday. According to the report, several Palestinians were beaten up by settlers, who then caused extensive property damage in the village. However, according to the settlers, Palestinians from a nearby village provoked the latest clash after setting a wheat field owned by Yitzhar residents on fire. The settlers said that teams who arrived on the scene to put out the fire were stoned by Palestinians, and claimed that this was the third time in the past two weeks that villagers set fields on fire.
The successes of the Bush visit and his initiative to improve the Verhandlungsgeschindigkeit of "core issues" in the exchange of Israelis and Palestinians are considerable: Israel ruled out all debate on letting Palestinian refugees return in any peace deal, as U.S. President George W. Bush ended a visit on Friday that left Arabs dismayed by his outspoken support for Israel's "chosen people". As Bush flew out after three days of celebrations of Israel's 60th anniversary, an Israeli government spokesman said Palestinian insistence on the right of return for 4.5 million refugees and their descendants was "the ultimate deal breaker". Six months into negotiations sponsored by Bush in the hope of a deal before he leaves the White House, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's spokesman used some of the toughest Israeli language yet to insist that President Mahmoud Abbas abandon 60-year-old refugee claims if he wants to establish a Palestinian state. "This demand, which does not exist under international law, for right of return , is the ultimate deal breaker. You cannot have peace and this demand at the same time," Mark Regev said. [ Kommentar von Naomi Bubis ] Vor lauter Angst vor der Rückkehr der Flüchtlinge behandelt man die eigene muslimische Gemeinde wie folgt: Israel’s Arab minority has a lower life expectancy than that of Jewish citizens; the Arab community suffers from higher infant mortality rates; and in relative terms the number of elderly Arabs without teeth is very high. A new report says these are some of the signs of discrimination within the health care system . [Bush also told them that just as the US changed its treatment of minorities, he hoped that Israeli society could also change the way it treats its minorities .]
Shimon Peres, however, has probably smoked a little too much hasbara: "Do not forget," Peres continued, "He is now going to Saudi Arabia, an Arab country He knows exactly to whom his words are directed." Adding, "He Sent a strong and unequivocal message of peace ". President George W. Bush and King Abdullah formalized new cooperation on Friday between the kingdom and the United States on a range of topics, including the development of civilian nuclear energy in Saudi Arabia and U.S. protection of Saudi oil fields. After all, does not apply to the Saudis the missile test, as the existing weapons systems are ordered and manufacturing nuclear weapons.
peace is spreading in other ways: The United States and Israel agree on the need for "tangible action" to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's spokesman said after a visit by U.S. President George W. Bush. "We are on the same page. We both see the threat ... And we both understand that tangible action is required to prevent the Iranians from moving forward on a nuclear weapon ," Olmert spokesman Mark Regev said on Friday. Regev described diplomatic efforts so far to exert pressure on Iran as "positive", but added: "It is clearly not sufficient and it's clear that additional steps will have to be taken". Asked about the option of using military force, Regev said: "Leaders of many countries have talked about many options being on the table and, of course, Israel agrees with that." Bush ratcheted up his rhetoric toward Tehran in a speech to Israel's Knesset on Thursday, saying critics' calls for talks with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad were comparable to the "appeasement" of Adolf Hitler before World War Two. [...] Democrat Barack Obama accused President George W. Bush on Friday of "fear-mongering" for suggesting Democrats wanted to appease terrorists and vowed to meet leaders of hostile nations like Iran if elected. Obama, relishing a long-distance debate with Bush on foreign policy, said the president had contributed to Tehran's rise in the Middle East by launching the Iraq war, which he said had removed Baghdad as a counterweight to Iran. [...] McCain, meanwhile, is guilty of hypocrisy. I am a supporter of Hillary Clinton and believe that she was right to say, about McCain's statement on Hamas, "I don't think that anybody should take that seriously." Unfortunately, the Republicans know that some people will. That's why they say such things. But given his own position on Hamas, McCain is the last politician who should be attacking Obama. Two years ago, just after Hamas won the Palestinian parliamentary elections, I interviewed McCain for the British network Sky News's "World News Tonight" program. Here is the crucial part of our exchange: I asked: "Do you think that American diplomats should be operating the way they have in the past, working with the Palestinian government if Hamas is now in charge?" McCain answered: " They're the government; sooner or later we are going to have to deal with them, one way or another , and I understand why this administration and previous administrations had such antipathy towards Hamas because of their dedication to violence and the things that they not only espouse but practice, so . . . but it's a new reality in the Middle East. I think the lesson is people want security and a decent life and decent future, that they want democracy. Fatah was not giving them that."
