SUMMARY OF EDITORIALS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
-------------------------------------------
(Government Press Office)
5 February 2007
Haaretz - http://www.haaretz.com
Ma'ariv - http://www.nrg.co.il
Yediot Aharonot - http://www.ynetnews.com
Globes - http://www.globes.co.il
Hazofe - http://www.hazofe.co.il
Jerusalem Post - http://www.jpost.com
Haaretz claims that we should treat Israel's claim of lack of Palestinian leadership with skepticism. Stating that Hamas is not going away, the paper argues that instead of constantly trying to decide which Israeli manipulation will work best, the government should immediately state that the country adopts the Arab League summit initiative, and that it is willing to negotiate over its basic points with any authorized Palestinian party.
Yediot Aharonot believes that Islamic extremists and moderates are battling "for the soul and the image of the Islamic Middle East," in, "Gaza, Beirut, Baghdad and - increasingly - in Tehran as well." The editors assert that "Israel stands outside the internal Arab-Islamic war of civilizations, but only seemingly: Acceptance of Israel is one of the main issues at the center of the conflict even if it is not the main focus of the controversy."
The Jerusalem Post criticizes MK Azmi Bishara's attempt to dissuade Arabs from being "accomplices in the Zionist establishment's schemes to fragment the national Arab minority", brought on by an initiative to include Arab youths in voluntary one-year civic services program which will entitle them to accrue rights to a variety of benefits. The paper claims that this should be the goal of all citizens, regardless of their ethnicity or religion.
Hatzofeh lauds Gaby Ashkenazi's abilities and military record and says that his appointment as the next IDF Chief-of-Staff "has been welcomed by security officials." The editors also suggest that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Kadima are in dire political straits.
[Sever Plocker and Moshe Ishon wrote today's editorials in Yediot Aharonot and Hatzofeh, respectively.]
