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

    Yediot quoted President Bush as saying Monday, at a
    meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah II, that "the
    United States and my government will be involved with
    Middle Eastern peace, and that I believe that two
    states living side-by-side in peace -- a Palestinian
    state and an Israeli state -- is necessary for there to
    be peace, and that we have a moment, a window of
    opportunity."  Jerusalem Post briefly cited the
    President's remarks.  Yediot also quoted senior U.S.
    Administration officials as saying in recent days that
    Israel must strengthen Abbas's status and position
    among Palestinians through a prisoner release and other
    steps such as the removal of roadblocks, and granting
    freedom of travel and work permits to the Palestinians.

    Ha'aretz (Aluf Benn) reported that there is a brewing
    dispute in Israel over British PM Tony Blair's proposal
    for an international conference on the Middle East in
    January or February after the Palestinian elections to
    grant the new PA leadership international legitimacy.
    The newspaper says that Sharon is opposed to the
    renewal of the diplomatic process until the
    Palestinians take action to fulfill the first stage of
    the road map, meaning putting an end to terrorism and
    implementing security reforms.  According to Ha'aretz,
    Sharon is prepared for the conference to take part
    without Israeli participation, and for it to be a one-
    day event for professionals that would deal with
    reforms in the PA.  The daily says that FM Silvan
    Shalom does not reject the idea of the conference and
    that he is ready to consider Israeli participation at
    the FM's level, but that he made clear to European
    counterparts that he is opposed to "skipping" directly
    to negotiations over the final-status agreement.
    Jerusalem Post reported that an unnamed "senior Israel
    official" made similar remarks.  Jerusalem Post cited
    London's Daily Telegraph as saying that President Bush
    is opposed to a conference like the one that followed
    the 1991 Gulf War.

    Israel Radio reported that this morning an IDF soldier
    was killed and four others were wounded at the Karni
    Crossing into the northern Gaza Strip.  Hamas claimed
    responsibility for the attack.  The radio and Ha'aretz
    web site reported that hours later (according to
    Ha'aretz web site) in the same area an IAF missile
    killed an Islamic Jihad activist.  Ha'aretz reported
    that a Palestinian working in Neve Dekalim, one of the
    Gush Katif (Gaza Strip) settlers, was lightly wounded
    Monday by a mortar shell launched from Khan Yunis.
    The newspaper also reported that a psychologist
    specializing in the trauma faced by Gush Katif (Gaza
    Strip) settlements who face both evacuation and almost
    daily mortar attacks has launched a Web site to provide
    area residents with information about dealing with
    pressure and crises.

    All media reported that the army is investigating the
    conditions surrounding an incident last Friday in which
    members of a unit of the prestigious Shayetet (naval
    commando) killed Mahmoud Kmel, a senior Islamic Jihad
    activist, who was apparently unarmed and did not
    represent a risk.  The Shayetet has been put on hold as
    far as operations in the West Bank are concerned.  The
    Israeli human rights group B'Tselem had requested the
    probe.  Leading media quoted the head of the IDF
    personnel branch, Maj. Gen. Elazar Stern as saying
    Monday that 20 percent of IDF soldiers come from a
    culture that does not view Arab lives as equal to those
    of Jews.  Stern said, "Every generation needs to see
    itself as if it had come out of Auschwitz" (a reference
    to the Passover Seder's commandment: "In every
    generation you must see yourself as being in Egypt").
    Stern was speaking before the Knesset's Constitution,
    Law and Justice Committee, which convened to discuss
    the just use of force in the war on terror.

    Israel Radio reported that security forces have
    arrested a resident of Baqa el-Gharbiyeh, an Israeli-
    Arab town adjacent to the Green Line, whom Iran had
    allegedly recruited as a spy.

    Leading media reported that Monday in Damascus PLO
    Secretary-General Mahmoud Abbas and Syrian President

    SIPDIS
    Bashar Assad agreed on coordinating positions ahead of
    possible negotiations with Israel, and that the senior
    Palestinians who visited Syria (Abbas, Palestinian PM
    Ahmed Qurei (Abu Ala), and Acting PA Chairman Rawhi
    Fattouh) asked Assad to press Hamas and Islamic Jihad
    leaders in Damascus to cooperate with them.  The media
    reported that the Palestinian delegation met with local
    leaders of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Ahmed Jibril's PFLP-
    GC.

    Jerusalem Post quoted Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz as
    saying Monday before the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and
    Defense Committee, that the boosting of ties between
    Israel and Egypt is a "strategic significant process"
    that is to include cooperation in fighting regional and
    global terror.  The media continued to report on the
    conditions of the imprisonment of Azzam Azzam, who was
    released from an Egyptian jail during the weekend.  PM
    Sharon visited Maghar, Azzam's village, on Monday.  The
    media argued over the fact that Channel 10-TV is paying
    Azzam some USD 40,000 for the exclusive rights of an
    interview with him.

    Ha'aretz quoted Sharon associates as saying Monday that
    Sharon will settle accounts with any minister or
    Knesset member who fails to help persuade the Likud
    Central Committee to approve the Labor Party's entry
    into the government, while those who do help him will
    be rewarded.  Maariv reported that the Likud "rebels"
    are considering voting in the Knesset against Labor's
    entry into the government, if the Likud Central
    Committee approves the move.  Yediot reported that
    members of the Labor Party increasingly oppose Shimon
    Peres's desire to see Labor enter the government
    immediately.  Yediot quoted Peres as saying that
    primaries in the party would thwart the planned
    disengagement.

    Jerusalem Post reported that Israel, which has
    consistently tried to keep the EU out of the diplomatic
    process, is now pressing it to use its clout to get
    Arab countries to develop with Israel. Israel Radio
    reported that Israel-EU talks on the "European
    Neighborhood policy" have hit a snag regarding the EU's
    condition that countries participating in the program
    sign a WMD clause.  The agreement must be finalized by
    Thursday.

    Jerusalem Post quoted President Moshe Katsav as saying
    Monday that if Assad is sincere about resuming peace
    negotiations, he should at least make some kind of
    goodwill gesture, such as returning the remains of Eli
    Cohen to Israel.  Cohen was convinced of spying and
    hanged in Damascus in 1965.

    All media reported that on Monday a Jerusalem
    Magistrate's Court sentenced Shahar Dvir-Zeliger, a
    member of the "new Jewish underground," to eight years
    in jail for membership in a terrorist organization
    aimed at carrying out terror attacks against Arab
    civilians, and for unlawful possession of weapons
    stolen from the IDF.

    Citing Reuters, Ha'aretz quoted Palestinian officials
    as saying in Ramallah Monday that the PA will ask donor
    countries at a meeting in Oslo for about USD 4 million
    to stave off an economic crisis.

    The media cited two Palestinian public opinion polls,
    which predict a close contest between Abbas and Marwan
    Barghouti in the PA elections.

    Israel Radio reported that Al Qaida has claimed
    responsibility for Monday's attack on the U.S.
    Consulate in Jeddah.
    Ha'aretz reported that Atty. Fred Fielding, a "highly
    respected Washington insider," will mediate between the
    U.S. Justice Department and lawyers who filed class
    action lawsuits on the issue of the "gold train," the
    trainload of looted gold and art stolen from Jews by
    the Nazis that was subsequently confiscated by U.S.
    troops, but that was never returned to the property's
    lawful owners.

                           Summary:
                           --------

    Independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized: "The
    window of opportunity for achieving a cease-fire with
    the Palestinians is wider than ever.  Israel's
    government must not miss this chance for a cease-fire
    and a renewal of the peace process."

    Veteran print and TV journalist Dan Margalit wrote in
    popular, pluralist Maariv: "[The Labor Party's entry
    into the government] constitutes real progress, which
    could suddenly be dampened in a cynical maneuver to
    move up the Knesset elections before [the] Gush Katif
    [settlement bloc] is evacuated."

    Oslo Agreement skeptic and Hebrew University Professor
    Yehoshua Porat wrote in mass-circulation, pluralist
    Yediot Aharonot: "Why is Egypt investing a fortune in
    the purchase of sophisticated weapons which are
    patently intended for a rapid crossing of the Sinai
    peninsula, in order to attack its northeastern
    neighbor?"

    Conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized:
    "If the UN wants to convincingly demonstrate a
    genuinely new beginning, the GA should elect Israel to
    a two-year Security Council seat."

    ¶I.  "Supportive Steps Needed"

    Independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized
    (December 7): "The weakness of Hamas's leadership in
    the territories has increased the importance of the
    Palestinian opposition's 'external leadership,' most of
    which lives in Damascus.  It is these men with whom Abu
    Mazen is trying to reach an understanding on the
    conditions for a cease-fire.  Abu Mazen is also taking
    advantage of the upcoming elections for the PA
    chairmanship to convince Hamas to stop the attacks, if
    only for a limited period, not only inside Israel, but
    also in the West Bank and Gaza.  Such an understanding
    is possible in part because of the heavy pressure that
    the Syrian regime is exerting on the Palestinian
    opposition leaders in Damascus.  These leaders
    understand quite well that at a time when President
    Assad is calling for a renewal of peace talks with
    Israel, he is not going to allow the Palestinian
    organizations under his aegis to launch terror attacks
    against Israel.  The window of opportunity for
    achieving a cease-fire with the Palestinians is wider
    than ever.  Israel's government must not miss this
    chance for a cease-fire and a renewal of the peace
    process."

    II.  "In the Right Direction"

    Veteran print and TV journalist Dan Margalit wrote in
    popular, pluralist Maariv (December 7): "It is wrong
    [for the Labor Party] to condition its entry into the
    government upon a commitment to moving up the Knesset
    elections -- especially as [former prime minister Ehud]
    Barak supports the dismantling of [the] Gush Katif
    settlement bloc.... The right formula for Labor's
    joining the government is the following one: the
    necessary condition is the continuation of the
    implementation of the disengagement plan, to which
    Sharon claims to be wholly committed -- in defiance of
    the Likud refuseniks.  This constitutes real progress,
    which could suddenly be dampened in a cynical maneuver
    to move up the Knesset elections before Gush Katif is
    evacuated.... Since the process of joining the
    government is not an ephemeral move, Labor must bring
    its best representatives into the government -- all the
    more so when this government will be marked by many
    upheavals, landmines, and political ambushes.  Barak is
    one of those people."

    III.  "Illusions in a New Edition"

    Oslo Agreement skeptic and Hebrew University Professor
    Yehoshua Porat wrote in mass-circulation, pluralist
    Yediot Aharonot (December 7): "On Sunday, the [Israeli]
    media kept filing happy reports from Egypt.... What was
    less manifest was the fact that Azzam Azzam spent eight
    years in an Egyptian jail for trying to do business in
    Egypt, according to what the peace treaty allowed and
    established.... According to the peace treaty, an
    Egyptian ambassador should be present in Israel.  For
    years, Israel held back regarding this flagrant
    violation of the treaty.  Israel taught the entire Arab
    world that it was possible to turn a blind eye to
    contractual commitments to Israel.... Talking about
    peace, does any of Israel decision-makers understand
    why Egypt needs armored forces to prevent arms
    smuggling into the Gaza Strip?.... More importantly:
    why is Egypt investing a fortune in the purchase of
    sophisticated weapons which are patently intended for a
    rapid crossing of the Sinai peninsula, in order to
    attack its northeastern neighbor?.... This is without
    mentioning the anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, almost Nazi
    incitement in Egypt's official media."

    IV.  "UN Self-Interest"

    Conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized
    (December 7): "The UN, on the brink of irrelevancy, is
    struggling to save itself. Given its antipathy toward
    the Zionist enterprise, should we help it succeed or
    hope that it heads over the edge?  The answer should
    depend on whether plans announced Thursday at UN
    headquarters to radically transform the world body have
    the potential of offering Israel a 'new deal'.... If
    the UN wants to convincingly demonstrate a genuinely
    new beginning, the GA should elect Israel to a two-year
    Security Council seat.  No nation has been so mean-
    spiritedly singled out, so consistently and for so
    long, as Israel.  No nation has suffered more from the
    tyranny of the UN majority, targeted through countless
    denunciatory, one-sided resolutions.  Entire UN-related
    international bodies have been permanently hijacked for
    Israel-bashing.  Electing Israel to the Security
    Council would signal that the community of nations
    rejects, de jure and forever, threats to wipe Israel
    off the map.  At the same time, such a declarative vote
    would reassure Israel that its painful concessions (in
    Gaza, for instance) are valued by the world community.
    If Palestine is to be the 22nd Arab member in a UN
    where 58 countries are already aligned with the Islamic
    bloc, Israel deserves preference on the rotation of
    countries that hold temporary Security Council
    seats.... Reforming the UN will be no easy task; we
    will know it is on the right track when it begins to
    apply the charter's universal values to Israel."

                           Summary:
                           --------

    Contributor Ran Baratz wrote in popular, pluralist
    Maariv: "The bad thing [about reaching an agreement
    with Syria] would be that Syrian-UN-European
    cooperation against the U.S. would harm Israel."

    "Assad's Trap"

    Contributor Ran Baratz wrote in popular, pluralist
    Maariv (December 7): "A seasonal excitement, due to
    Assad Jr.'s peace calls 'without preconditions', has
    recently seized some [Israeli] commentators... An
    important development, which occurred a little over one
    year ago, was the U.S. decision to isolate Syria and to
    weaken it significantly.  That decision, which was
    backed by the U.S. Congress, is starting to bear fruit
    -- as evidenced by the weakness of Assad, whom nobody
    views as an angel.... The bad thing [about reaching an
    agreement with Syria] would be that Syrian-UN-European
    cooperation against the U.S. would harm Israel.  Warm
    relations with the U.S. are preferable to peace with
    Syria, whose chances of coming about are small at best.
    The Americans' interest in pressuring Syria is big.
    Firstly, they want to hinder the possibility that Iran,
    Syria's close friend, create ... additional fronts in
    the region.... Secondly, they remember Assad's help to
    Saddam and the Iraqi opposition forces.... Thirdly,
    Syria ... has become a highly significant factor in
    Palestinian terrorism, creating an extra obstacle to
    American policy."
