    Key stories in the media:
    -------------------------

    All media cited PM Sharon's downplaying, in a speech to
    the Knesset Thursday, of the upcoming Likud referendum
    on his disengagement plan.  This morning on Israel
    Radio, Vice PM Ehud Olmert said that if the party does
    not endorse the plan, this would have "very serious"
    diplomatic, economic and political consequences for
    Israel.  The radio reported that the French government
    has expressed skepticism about the plan's chances of
    success.  Ha'aretz reported that Minister without
    Portfolio Natan Sharansky has sent a letter to the
    19,000 Russian-language members of the Likud, calling
    on them to vote against the disengagement plan.
    Jerusalem Post quoted Herbert Zweibon, chairman of
    Americans For a Safe Israel, a U.S. Jewish organization
    fighting the two-state solution to the Israeli-
    Palestinian conflict, as saying that an Israeli
    withdrawal from the territories could lead to an anti-
    Semitic backlash among evangelical Christians who are
    today among Israel's strongest supporters.  Jerusalem
    Post notes that Zweibon has close ties with the
    evangelical community.

    Hatzofe reported that an unnamed "senior White House
    official" told the unlicensed right-wing Israeli radio
    station Arutz Sheva (Arutz 7) that the U.S. does not
    accept Israeli sovereignty over settlement blocs or the
    non-return of Palestinian refugees to Israel.  The
    official was quoted as saying: "The parties will decide
    on these issues in negotiations among themselves."

    Jerusalem Post quoted Farouk Kaddoumi, the PLO's hard-
    line "foreign minister," as saying in an interview with
    the Jordanian newspaper Al-Arab, that when PA Chairman
    Yasser Arafat talks about the need to pursue the
    struggle against Israel, he is referring to the armed
    struggle.  Kaddoumi reportedly said that the armed
    struggle is the only way to accept the Palestinians'
    demands.  He admitted in the interview that the PLO
    charter, which denies Israel's right to exist, was
    never changed.

    Jerusalem Post reported that Thursday the Popular
    Resistance Committees, an alliance of various armed
    Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip, announced that
    its members managed to free three Palestinians who were
    held in a Gaza City prison on suspicion of involvement
    in the attack on a U.S. diplomatic convoy last October.
    The Committees also said that a fourth suspect was not
    freed because he is being held in solitary confinement.
    Israel Radio reported that last night in Qalqilya three
    key Fatah/Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades activists were
    killed in a clash with IDF forces.  The media also
    reported that two Palestinian girls aged 4 and 7 were
    killed in the Gaza Strip.
    Maariv reported that Survey of Israel, the GOI's
    official mapmaker, has recently printed an updated
    edition of Israel's maps, which includes the separation
    fence.  Ha'aretz (English Ed.) reported that last
    Thursday, American-born Rabbi Arik W. Ascherman,
    executive director of Rabbis for Human Rights (RHR),
    was arrested while demonstrating against the route of
    the fence.  Ascherman is awaiting his day in court in
    connection with other charges related to his struggle
    for human rights.

    Israel Radio quoted Lakhdar Brahimi, the special UN
    envoy to Iraq, as saying on a French radio station that
    Israel is the "biggest poison" in the region.  Brahimi
    also reportedly blasted the U.S. support for Israel.
    Israel Radio quoted Fred Eckhardt, Spokesman to UN
    Secretary-General Kofi Annan, as saying that Brahimi's

    SIPDIS
    remarks do not represent Annan's views.

    Ha'aretz quoted Nigel Roberts, director of the World
    Bank office in the West Bank and Gaza, as saying: "We
    are ready to play a constructive role in the
    disengagement process if we are asked to do so by all
    the key parties -- Israel, the PA and the international
    community."  Roberts was referring to reports that the
    Bank had already agreed to buy the Gaza Strip
    settlements, or that it had already taken practical
    steps to that effect.   Jerusalem Post quoted a "high-
    level World Bank official" as saying Wednesday that the
    bank will not purchase or become temporary custodians
    of Israel assets in the Gaza Strip after an Israeli
    withdrawal, and that it is more likely to play an
    economic advisory role, helping the Palestinians manage
    and productively use the evacuated property.

    Leading media reported that Nabil George Razouk, the
    Israeli Arab from East Jerusalem who was abducted in
    Iraq on April 8, was freed Thursday by his captors.
    The media reported that the PA representative in Iraq
    was instrumental in securing his release.

    Ha'aretz reported that one of the two Israelis detained
    in New Zealand was carrying a forged Canadian passport.

    Ha'aretz cited a recently declassified CIA document,
    according to which in January 1975 then U.S. President
    Gerald Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger were
    concerned that the U.S. could be made to intervene if
    the USSR had militarily backed a Syrian attack on
    Israel.

    All media highlighted reports that former energy
    minister Gonen Segev has been remanded into police
    custody as a suspect in an alleged international
    Ecstasy drug smuggling scheme that Israeli and Dutch
    police say involve millions of shekels (one shekel
    roughly equals USD 0.22).  Segev reportedly used a
    forged diplomatic passport.  Segev, who was number two
    in the defunct right-wing party Tzomet, joined the late
    PM Yitzhak Rabin's cabinet in the mid '90s.

    A Yediot poll conducted by Mina Zemach's Dahaf
    Institute found that 49 percent of registered Likud
    voters will vote for Sharon's plan; 39.5 percent are
    opposed; 11.5 percent are undecided.

    A Maariv/Teleseker poll found that:
    -Had it depended on them, 63 percent of Israelis would
    have favored a national referendum to decide on the
    issue of the disengagement plan; 5 percent would have
    preferred a referendum within the Likud; 25 percent
    favor a "different way."
    -41 percent prefer an evacuation of the Gaza Strip that
    would be coordinated with the Palestinians; 34 percent
    favor a unilateral withdrawal; 18 percent oppose a
    withdrawal altogether.
    -54 percent believe that the houses in the settlements
    to be vacated should be pulled down; 36 percent favor
    leaving them to the Palestinians.
    -76 percent of Israelis say that Israel was right in
    assassinating Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi.

                           Summary:
                           --------

    Independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized:
    "[Sharon] has harnessed, in the diplomatic arena and
    within the government, significant support for a
    withdrawal.... Sharon owes the citizens of Israel ...
    an accelerated, and not sluggish, evacuation."

    Extreme right-wing columnist Caroline B. Glick wrote on
    page one of conservative, independent Jerusalem Post:
    "The entire rationale of moving ahead with Sharon's
    plan is that Sharon has claimed that the U.S. has given
    Israel something in exchange for implementing it.  And
    yet, over the past week, the U.S. has made quite clear
    that it will give Israel nothing."

    Jerusalem Post editorialized: " It may be a long time
    yet before Israel gets the borders it deserves.  For
    now, the best we can hope for is to get the borders we
    can realistically defend. Fortunately, that prospect is
    no longer distant."

                         -------------

    ¶I.  "Speed Up the Evacuation"

    Independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized (April
    23): "Regardless of where the weight of the votes in
    Sharon's party falls, he has harnessed, in the
    diplomatic arena and within the government, significant
    support for a withdrawal.  U.S. President George Bush
    was the first to back it and so have major leaders in
    Europe.  All the central ministers of the Likud, who
    are also candidates for Sharon's seat after he retires,
    have abandoned their doubts by announcing their support
    for the plan and established an undeniable political
    fait accompli.... Sharon has voiced two main arguments
    in favor of the plan, which he himself had opposed
    until recently.  The first argument is security-based:
    shortening the lines of defense and eliminating soft
    targets (settlements, military units and the movement
    of soldiers and civilians along roads in the Gaza
    Strip) so that the fighting, which is expected to
    continue both along Gaza's borders (attempts to carry
    out attacks and launch rockets) and in the West Bank.
    The second argument is diplomatic: in the absence of an
    Israeli initiative enjoying American support, Israel
    will be forced to fend off initiatives less palatable
    to the Likud and Sharon government.  Precisely because
    of these arguments, the evacuation should not be
    delayed.  The plans for compensation for the evacuated
    settlers can be approved quickly by the various
    ministries and the Knesset.  Sharon owes the citizens
    of Israel the opposite of what he willingly grants
    [Finance Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu: an accelerated,
    and not sluggish, evacuation."

    II.  "The Generals' Confusion"

    Extreme right-wing columnist Caroline B. Glick wrote on
    page one of conservative, independent Jerusalem Post
    (April 23): "The [Israeli] press has paid minimal
    attention to the fact that, in the days since Sharon's
    meeting with Bush, Bush and his people have repeatedly
    denied a shift in U.S. policy away from the
    Palestinians and toward Israel.  If our media was not
    firmly backing Sharon's plan, this would not be the
    case.  After all, the entire rationale of moving ahead
    with Sharon's plan is that Sharon has claimed that the
    U.S. has given Israel something in exchange for
    implementing it.  And yet, over the past week, the U.S.
    has made quite clear that it will give Israel nothing.
    Last Friday Bush explained, 'All final status issues
    must still be negotiated between the parties.'  What
    this means, as Colin Powell and others have been keen
    to point out, is that although Bush did state that the
    U.S. thinks it would be unrealistic to have the so-
    called Palestinian refugees overrun Israel in the
    framework of an agreement, Bush did not commit the U.S.
    to preventing it from happening.  Likewise, in spite of
    the fact that it may be unrealistic to expect that more
    than 250,000 Israelis would be driven out of their
    homes in a peace deal, it is not for the U.S. to say.
    If the media was not mobilized to support Sharon's
    plan, surely the fact that the U.S. gave Israel nothing
    would be given more than passing attention."

    III.  "Borders of Realism"

    Jerusalem Post editorialized (April 23): "For the
    better part of the past 30 years, the Right and the
    Left in Israel made two curiously mirrored arguments.
    The Right understood the need for secure and defensible
    borders with all our neighbors, except the
    Palestinians.  The Left understood the need for borders
    with the Palestinians, while fantasizing about a 'New'
    borderless Middle East, akin to the European Union....
    On the all-important subject of borders, both sides
    were logically inconsistent.... With the Palestinians,
    the past 40-plus months of terror have convinced a
    majority of Israelis of two things.  First, that peace
    with the Palestinians is, for the time being,
    impossible; and second, that separation is necessary.
    We cannot forever rule over a people who violently
    reject that rule, however benign our intentions.  And
    we must have a border to better defend against suicide
    bombers, the only weapon in the Palestinian arsenal
    that can really bloody us.... It is ... objected that a
    border that lacks international legitimacy is no border
    at all.  But then, what was the Green Line?  What is
    the Line of Control in Kashmir?.... It may be a long
    time yet before Israel gets the borders it deserves.
    For now, the best we can hope for is to get the borders
    we can realistically defend. Fortunately, that prospect
    is no longer distant."

    ¶2.  Iran Nuclear Program:
    -------------------------

                           Summary:
                           --------

    Senior columnist and chief defense commentator Zeev
    Schiff wrote in independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz:
    "Iran's Shihab-3 rockets have become operational, which
    means Iran can now reach Israel and other distant
    targets in the Middle East.... [But] the other side
    knows Israel can deal with that threat and set a heavy
    price for the enemy if the situation worsens."

                         -------------

    "Despite Everything, an Improvement"

    Senior columnist and chief defense commentator Zeev
    Schiff wrote in independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz
    (April 23): "Despite the unceasing terrorist war, it is
    now clear there has been an improvement in Israel's
    strategic position over the past year. The military
    deployment in the Middle East has changed in our favor,
    and certain threats that appeared grave in the past are
    gone.... That does not mean all the dangers are gone.
    It is possible that some threats, particularly in the
    realm of terror, if actualized, will surprise
    Israel.... A year ago, the assessment was that Iran
    would be near nuclear independence in 2004, but that
    timetable seems to have been postponed.... There has
    been a worsening of conditions in another military
    realm -- but it should not be considered a strategic
    threat yet. Iran's Shihab-3 rockets have become
    operational, which means Iran can now reach Israel and
    other distant targets in the Middle East.  Combined
    with the missile systems that Iran and Syria set up for
    Hezbollah in south Lebanon, the threat is more
    tangible.  The other side knows Israel can deal with
    that threat and set a heavy price for the enemy if the
    situation worsens."

    ¶3.  Release of Mordechai Vanunu:
    --------------------------------

                           Summary:
                           --------

    Op-ed writer Rafi Mann observed in popular, pluralist
    Maariv: "As long as the president of the U.S. decides,
    for strategic, political or other reasons, to adhere to
    his country's commitment to Israel's security, the
    Americans are prepared to turn a blind eye to the
    doings on the underground floors of the Dimona-2
    institute."

                         Block Quotes:
                         -------------

    "Bush's Bomb"

    Op-ed writer Rafi Mann observed in popular, pluralist
    Maariv (April 23): "Israel's security has been a
    recurrent motive in a long series of statements by Bush
    in recent years.... Like in almost every domain -- from
    economic assistance to the peace process -- [Israel]
    has one address: Washington.  More precisely: 1600
    Pennsylvania Avenue.  As long as the president of the
    U.S. decides, for strategic, political or other
    reasons, to adhere to his country's commitment to
    Israel's security, the Americans are prepared to turn a
    blind eye to the doings on the underground floors of
    the Dimona-2 institute.... When could the pattern of
    that relationship blow up and cause serious harm to
    Israel?  Only when something very basic goes wrong in
    U.S.-Israeli relations -- if, for instance a U.S.
    president is someday elected and wishes to shake off
    the 'special relationship' between the two countries,
    or if Israel makes policy that Washington would view as
    a clear danger to its interests.  To this day, even the
    most skeptical observers can only point to a tightening
    and deepening of ties, not to the opposite.  Meanwhile,
    Vanunu had better stop blabbing, but it is doubtful
    whether that eccentric guy actually represents a
    strategic threat.... The Iranian bomb worries Bush much
    more."
