The success of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations is impossible, because the Palestinians want the state free of Jews. This writes the expert the newspaper The Wall Street Journal. U.S. and EU insist on the resumption of Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, but is their success is possible if the Palestinians clearly do not share the democratic ideals? – Asks the pages of The Wall Street Journal Emanuele Ottoleni, Senior Fellow Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “In late May, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) said the Arab League, that the future Palestinian state should be free of all Israelis, stating that their eviction can take place” gradually. “He was not talking about Jews specifically, but in the West and Samaria and the Gaza Strip Israeli citizens live a little Christian, Druze and Muslim. The concept is clear: the Palestinian state will be Judenrein – free of Jews “- says the author. In the view of the browser, the concept of Abbas’s alarming, but hardly surprising: “Abu Mazen – Palestinian nationalist, in the past written a dissertation, which denied the Holocaust. He shows little interest in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through negotiations.” European Union and other Western supporters of Palestinian independence should respond harshly to the statement of Abbas, the author believes. “But Brussels said nothing. But now French President Sarkozy is trying to persuade both sides to sit at the negotiating table,” – he said. The author finds it logical, “in regard to human rights, the EU has proved to be terribly in the Middle East, until recently, Brussels provided great verbal and financial support to the regime of Bashar Assad in Syria.” Despite the suppression of unrest in Syria and Bahrain, the EU countries do not withdraw their ambassadors from those countries. “The EU does not promote democracy in Saudi Arabia.” Israelis remember the oppression of Jews in the past under the Muslim rule. “Why at this time be different?” – Rhetorically asks the author. In the modern Middle East, the fate of religious minorities in the most severe cases: Shiites suffered under the rule of the Sunnis and vice versa, Christians oppressed everywhere, except Israel, etc. “The state, which aspires to become free of Jews, can not be democratic. The talks, which the parties will pretend that this is not true – just stupid,” – concludes the author. (Cursorinfo.co.il)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prepared to resume peace talks with the Palestinians based on the 1967 borders with an exchange of territories, but instead requires the recognition of the Palestinians of the Jewish state of Israel and the agreement to resolve the refugee problem within the borders of a Palestinian state – in Israel to preserve the Jewish majority. This writes the “Maariv”, referring to two different sources in political leadership. In regard to the refugee problem, Netanyahu refers to the commitments made on behalf of U.S. President George W. Bush in 2004. The readiness of the borders of ’67 with an exchange of territories subject to the conditions of the Palestinians marked above the Israeli prime minister told a meeting of an adviser to U.S. President Barack Obama Dennis Ross and David Hale – Special Envoy of the President of the United States in the Middle East, who replaced George Mitchell. With both Mr. Netanyahu met last week. It is also noted that Netanyahu announced his position of EU foreign minister Catherine Ashton and envoy of the Quartet (U.S., EU, Russia, UN) Tony Blair. This is the first time that Netanyahu accepts the 1967 borders, albeit with an exchange of territories. More recently, during the May visit to Washington, when Barack Obama announced in a special treatment his vision solutions the Middle East problem, he said that Israel must return to 1967 borders. Then Netanyahu reacted to the speech, saying that a return to 1967 borders is not possible, because the border would be impossible to defend. Later, Obama, speaking to the Jewish lobby, said that meant the 1967 borders with an exchange of territories, which takes into account demographic changes. Netanyahu, in his speech before Congress said that Israel will be generous in terms of territories, but not in regard to the border line. Office of the Prime Minister, commenting on the “cursor” in the publication “Maarive”, pointed out that Ross Hale, Ashton and Blair at the meeting with Netanyahu, he expressed his concern about the possible treatment of the Palestinians in September in the UN General Assembly to recognize an independent Palestinian state. All four were trying to find a way out of the impasse of September, and therefore have asked Netanyahu to take Obama’s plan to resume negotiations. Under the plan negotiations should be based on the 1967 borders, but of course this does not mean that Israel would return to them. Head of Government agreed to the proposal, but in return demanded the implementation of the aforesaid conditions of the Palestinians: recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and a solution to the refugee problem within the borders of a future Palestinian state. With such an adjustment agreement to begin negotiations on the basis of the borders in ’67 he would be able to offer the right ministers. Recall, the day before Mr. Netanyahu made it clear to ministers that he was ready to withdraw from much of the territories occupied in ’67: “The debate about how many Jews and many Arabs live between the Jordan and the sea is devoid of meaning. I do not care – half a million Palestinians, half a million more or less because I have no desire to attach them to Israel. I want to break away from them, so they are not Israeli citizens. I only care about one thing – that was undeniable, sustainable Jewish majority within Israel – those within its boundaries to be determined “. (Cursorinfo.co.il)

This was announced on Thursday evening, June 23, a representative of the PA to the UN, Riyad Mansour. According to him, the Palestinians are working on three independent areas: the resumption of negotiations, the establishment of government institutions of an independent state and to obtain recognition of statehood. “If we can open the door to negotiations, we are not going to stop the achievement of what concerns us as Palestinians in the General Assembly, beginning September 20,” – said Mansour. Mansour also said that “in contrast to the construction in the West Bank, which is illegal unilateral act of the proclamation of the state given to us by law and shall not be considered as a unilateral step.” “Israel did not ask permission for the proclamation of the state in 1948, the U.S. has asked Britain to allow the declaration of the state in 1776. Our declaration on the establishment of the state is a natural right, not a unilateral act,” – he added. Mansour said that the PA is ready to discuss all relevant issues. “Our independence is not a major issue. Illegal settlements, it is a unilateral act. We are ready to negotiate with our neighbors,” – he said. The Palestinian diplomat added that the PA is trying to thwart efforts by Israel to the fact that Western countries opposed a Palestinian proposal to the UN. Mansour also said that the PA considers “radical Netanyahu government and does not reflect the position of Israeli society.” We are facing a historic moment, but Israeli leaders are living in the past. They think they can prove that all is not so “. (Mignews.com)

Portal ZMAN.com published June 24 analytical article Arabist Ksenia Svetlova titled “The Palestinian Authority is also not ready by September”

Passed in May, with its unexpected surprises as the sudden agreement between Fatah and Hamas, which ends in June, when pacified leaders of these organizations were to declare the establishment of a national unity government in July on the nose, then come August and September and for them, for what was conceived and the whole show – and things are there. Making smiles Abu Mazen and Khaled Meshal during the signing ceremony of the National Reconciliation no one was misled, and yet – was originally intended that the parties were able to overcome at least some of their differences and agree on a minimal co-operation. Apparently not. While forming a national unity government postponed indefinitely, the leaders of Fatah and Hamas continue to exchange “pleasantries” and continuing arrests of Hamas activists in the West Bank. True, a small party of prisoners languishing in Palestinian prisons, was released in a gesture of goodwill, but for really important and dangerous figures remain in their places. Nakba Day, May 15, in Ramallah could not see a single green flag of Hamas and Fatah rallies in Gaza activists still held in the strictest secrecy, or their members threatened with physical violence. By and large, it would be strange if the parties had suddenly forgotten about the two decades of struggle, not so much against Israel as against each other, and began to smile nicely instead of shooting kneecaps (a very common practice in the Gaza Strip). Fatah and Hamas resorted to this reconciliation for two reasons: both parties fear the influence of Arab spring on Palestinian society, and Hamas, who was not involved in the initiative of Abu Mazen’s handling of the UN General Assembly, and yet afraid to be left behind in the event that Chairman of the PA and in fact can achieve anything. As for previous conflicts and disagreements in this respect nothing has changed. Damascus is burning, but in Tehran until all is quiet, Khaled Mashaal, his deputy Moussa Abu Marzouk, and Ismail Haniyeh – Hamas leader in Gaza – should not be worried. Iran continues to actively support their “orphans” – Hamas – and always ready to continue to increase the budget, but would not go to Gaza to make concessions on major issues such as negotiations on the fate of Gilad Shalit and the formation of a national unity government. It is also worth to death and Abbas, which feed not only the U.S. and Europe, but also Saudi Arabia, from which “rais” recently returned for a visit. Riyadh just recently broke out an angry statement, which essentially boils down to that if Iran continues to poke its nose into their affairs in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is using the economic weapons that are in her hands, and increase production of crude oil in order to economically strangle Iran. So the battle for the Palestinian Authority is no less important for Saudi Arabia than in Iran, and, therefore, irrelevant to the real desires of Fatah and Hamas activists who took to the streets of Palestinian cities in March this year, demanding a national unity, this issue has not. The refusal of Hamas from its principled position means a betrayal of Iranian camp and its interests, the agreement with Abu Mazen in such a fundamental point in the political program of Hamas, as the need to continue the armed struggle against Israel, meaning the gap between Fatah and the international community. Abu Mazen can not afford it. So we can assume that, despite all efforts, the month of September finds the Palestinians unprepared. Just as the Israelis. (ZMAN.com)

According to the newspaper Ynet, the process of tightening the conditions of the Palestinian terrorists in Israeli jails began a few weeks ago with no publicity because of concerns before the riots in correctional institutions in the PA, as well as possible harm Gilad Shalit. New conditions of detention of terrorists will meet the minimum requirements put forth by international law and humanitarian organization “Red Cross”. According to the newspaper, condemned the militants will not be allowed to receive higher education and to make organized travel outside the prison visitation and phone calls will be reduced to a minimum. At the same time, government sources and Schabas feared before the start of riots in the prisons, where the militants are serving longer sentences for subversion. Schabas special forces are on high alert to quell possible disturbances. Note that the ringleaders of the prisoners Hamas and Fatah have indirect responsibility for the situation. Prisoners have repeatedly called on the Islamists not to give Israel the requirements for the release of Gilad Shalit, that blocked the timely exchange transaction, whereby at large should have been up to 1,000 militants.

The newspaper “Haaretz” published June 23 editorial titled “Eli Yishai, is at war with the Jews and Avigdor Lieberman”

It is impossible not to admire the tenacity Interior Minister Eli Yishai in their quest to outdo his colleague Lieberman in the fight for the right to form a “proper” national identity of citizens of Israel. A few days ago pulled out of the closet Yishai character concept “Jew” and demanded a re-write it in word identification, thus re-established under “nationality”, which was abolished in 2002. At first glance it is a voluntary right of citizens interested in the fact that their identity re-emerged this graph. According to Yishai, the state will not impose this point those who are not interested in it. Thus, anyone can turn their “Teudat zehut” from the standard administration of the identity card of the carrier (exactly the same as a driver’s license, student ID card or pensioner), a special document, which not only testifies to his nationality, but and assumes that the vehicle belongs to a privileged group of people having special privileges. This group includes only those who were fortunate enough to be born a Jew, and those who had received orthodox giyur. Those who came to Judaism under Reform or Conservative conversion, whatever its merits before the state will be denied the right to determine their nationality as Jewish. This is a very dangerous situation. In 2002, the High Court of Justice ordered the Interior Minister (and then the position was held by Eli Yishai) wrote in identity word “Jew” to those who took a reformist and conservative giyur. Segregation of citizens on religious grounds, according to what they believe or not believe (and even more division among the citizens belonging to one denomination, but its different currents) eliminate Israel as a democratic, just, but as a Jewish state. In this situation, a question naturally arises, what the Jewish state must recognize the international community and Arab countries? A state in which their own Jewish citizens are not able to determine their own national and religious affiliation? Apparently, he and Yishai does not feel much joy in connection with a combination of “Jewish nationality.” At one time he agreed to the cancellation of the entry in the identity card. He took this step only in order not to insert the word “Jew” in the identity of those who took a reformist and conservative giyur. Identification of the person does not need political approval of bureaucratic structures, religious belief – it’s a private matter. Sense of belonging to a particular nation does not need a certificate from the Minister of Foreign Affairs. (“Haaretz”)

For an orthodox society, will be advantageous to have a constitution, which aims to protect the interests of minorities. I understand those who say that the alleged constitution may be replaced by the Torah. However, the problem of the constitution to strengthen the common laws and forbid any manifestation of inequality. According to the budget allocation and also to an orthodox education, will not be someone’s good wishes. the orthodox population do not have to reach what he was supposed to in a roundabout way.
