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

    All media reported on Holocaust Memorial Day events,
    which started last night and will continue through
    tonight.

    Sunday, all media led with the assassination of Hamas
    leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi in an IAF helicopter strike
    Saturday evening.  Shortly after the assassination,
    Khaled Mashal, the head of the movement's political
    bureau, who operates from Damascus, announced that the
    identity of the new Hamas leader in Gaza would not be
    disclosed.  Today, Ha'aretz reported that Israel will
    consider attacking Hamas's compound in Damascus should
    the organization move its main power base to Syria.
    The media pitted strong responses to the killing around
    the world against mild responses in the U.S.

    Leading media quoted National Security Advisor
    Condoleezza Rice as saying in an interview on the Fox
    network that the U.S. did not have advance information
    about Israel's intention to kill Rantisi.  Rice called
    on Israel to "consider the implications of the actions
    it carries out," but she stressed that Israel has a
    right to defend itself, and that Hamas is a terror
    organization.  The media also quoted Democratic
    presidential contender Sen. John Kerry as saying on
    NBC: "I believe that Israel has every right to respond
    to terror threats against it."  Kerry also said that he
    supports Sharon's disengagement plan, and that if
    elected he will appoint a high-level Middle East
    mediator acceptable to the international community and
    Israel.  Israel Radio reported that the Islamic
    Movement in Israel intends to demonstrate this week
    opposite the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv.

    All media reported that Sunday PM Sharon won a cabinet
    majority for his disengagement plan, when Finance
    Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Education Minister Limor
    Livnat, and Minister-without-Portfolio Meir Sheetrit
    decided to back it.  Netanyahu was quoted as saying in
    an interview with Yediot that he "obtained the maximum
    for the settlers."  FM Silvan Shalom is still
    undecided.  The media quoted Sharon as saying at the
    cabinet meeting: "The U.S. believes that settlement
    blocs will remain in Israel's hands in any case and
    that will be outside future negotiations with the
    Palestinians."  Yediot sums up seven achievements
    reached by Sharon during his visit to the U.S., which
    he detailed at the cabinet meeting: the U.S. pledged
    not to adopt another plan than the road map; there will
    be no diplomatic negotiations before terrorism ends,
    terrorist groups are dismantled and comprehensive
    reforms are made [in the PA]; the U.S. recognizes
    Israel's need for defensible borders, and accepts
    Israel's right to defend itself everywhere --including
    in areas it has evacuated and will evacuate; there will
    be no return of refugees to Israel; there will be no
    return to the 1967 borders, because the settlement
    blocs will remain in Israel's hands, and because of
    Israel's right to defensible borders; not only will
    settlement blocs remain in Israel's hands, but also
    Israel will be able to build in them in a scope to be
    jointly determined with the U.S.; and the security
    fence will be built along the complete  route that was
    decided upon by the government, including the erection
    of a continuous fence around the settlement blocs.  The
    government will complete the fence before the beginning
    of the evacuation of settlements.  Jerusalem Post
    reported that Sharon told his cabinet Sunday that an
    Israeli team will meet in the next few days with U.S.
    Ambassador Dan Kurtzer to define where construction
    will be allowed in the settlements.

    Sunday, leading media quoted British PM Tony Blair as
    saying in an interview with BBC Radio from Washington
    Saturday that Israel's plan to withdraw from Gaza and
    part of the West Bank will reinvigorate rather than
    destroy the road map.  There were contradictory media
    reports regarding the EU's position in the matter.

    Jerusalem Post quoted a PA source as saying that
    Palestinian FM Nabil Shaath canceled his trip to the
    U.S., which was planned for next month, because the PA
    wants to reconsider its acceptance of Sharon's Gaza
    withdrawal plan and its relations with the U.S.
    Administration.

    Yediot and Maariv excerpted an interview with nuclear
    whistleblower Mordecai Vanunu, who will be released
    Wednesday.  In the interview, which was conducted by
    the defense establishment and which will be broadcast
    tonight on Channel 10-TV, Vanunu is alleged to say:
    "The Dimona nuclear reactor should be destroyed as the
    Iraqi reactor was."  He reportedly said he will have a
    computer with access to the Internet and that nobody
    will be able to do anything against him, and that
    "billions" of people in the world consider him a hero.

    All media reported that Saturday afternoon a border
    policeman was killed and that three other Israelis were
    wounded when a suicide bomber blew himself up at the
    Erez crossing.  The electronic gate did not detect the
    explosive charge.  Ha'aretz and other media reported
    that a Palestinian youth was killed near Ramallah
    Friday, and that two Palestinians were killed in Gaza
    Sunday.  All media reported on a shooting incident on a
    Galilee road Sunday:  Ha'aretz and Israel Radio
    reported that border policemen killed an Israeli Arab
    and wounded another.  They had attempted to shoot at
    border police vehicles on a Galilee road.

    Sunday, the media reported that Israel's embassy in
    Australia has dispatched a diplomat to New Zealand with
    the arrests of two Israelis allegedly trying to obtain
    a fake New Zealand passport.  The media reported on
    allegations in New Zealand that the two men could be
    Mossad agents.

    Sunday, Jerusalem Post reported that the U.S. State
    Department has suggested in recent days that Syria may
    be able to avoid imposition of fresh U.S. sanctions,
    under the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Restoration
    Act, if it soon shows it has taken some of the steps
    required by the law.

    Leading media reported Sunday that two weeks ago Giora
    Eiland, the coordinator of the Gaza withdrawal plan,
    drafted a document criticizing the Geneva Accord for
    being a "dangerous sleight of hand" regarding the right
    of return for Palestinian refugees.  The media cited a
    response by the Geneva Accord team, that the
    understandings in the agreement do not include
    recognition or materialization of the right of return.

    Leading media reported that, in a groundbreaking move,
    Israir Airlines is to launch direct charter flight
    service between Israel and the U.S. (on the Tel Aviv-
    New-York line), starting in June.

                           Summary:
                           --------

    Independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized: "Even
    if it is possible to identify substantive arguments to
    justify the Rantisi assassination, the timing of the
    act raises skepticism about the motives of those who
    decided to carry it out."

    Conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized:
    "Will the British Foreign Minister explain why the
    killing of Uday and Qusay Hussein was justified and
    'productive,' but the killing of Abdel Aziz Rantisi was
    not?"

    Military correspondent Alex Fishman wrote on page one
    of mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot:
    "Rantisi needed to disappear quickly if only because he
    threw the gates of Gaza wide open to direct Iranian
    influence."

    Political commentator Shalom Yerushalmi wrote in
    popular, pluralist Maariv: "The serial killing of
    Sheikh Yassin and Rantisi is turning Sharon into a
    national hero within the ranks of the Likud."
    Chief Economic Editor and senior columnist Sever
    Plotker wrote in the editorial of Yediot Aharonot:
    "Ultimately, Palestinian society is going to have to be
    the one to root out Hamas from its midst, if it ever
    wants to live as a normal society."

    Ha'aretz editorialized: "Sharon's plan should be
    supported, but without illusions of any real American
    guarantees."

    Nationalist, Orthodox Hatzofe editorialized: "The U.S.
    President is now being swept into helping Sharon."

    Arab affairs commentator Danny Rubinstein wrote in
    Ha'aretz: "If in previous years there was talk of Hamas
    joining Arafat's regime, it appears now in Gaza that
    the talk is more to do with the PA joining Hamas."

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

    ¶I.  "The Motivation Behind the Missile"

    Independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz editorialized (April
    19): "Knocking off Hamas leaders is not, in itself,
    policy. If these acts aggravate risks faced by Israel
    and its citizens, they are wrong.  Conversely, if they
    are likely to restrain Hamas and lead it toward the
    route of a cease-fire (which disappeared rapidly last
    summer) and encourage the organization to work out
    practical arrangements with the Palestinian Authority
    prior to the withdrawal of IDF troops and settlements
    from Gaza -- then the assassinations should not be
    ruled out.  An echo of this approach can be heard in
    the White House.... Even if it is possible to identify
    substantive arguments to justify the Rantisi
    assassination, the timing of the act raises skepticism
    about the motives of those who decided to carry it out.
    Sharon was eager to arrive at Sunday's cabinet meeting
    -- and to influence whether top Likud ministers who
    have expressed reservations about his disengagement
    plan will join active opponents of the plan or be
    content to issue vacuous statements -- with a military
    success under his belt."

    II.  "Justified and Productive"

    Conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized
    (April 19): "Will the British Foreign Minister explain
    why the killing of Uday and Qusay Hussein was justified
    and 'productive,' but the killing of Abdel Aziz Rantisi
    was not?  All three are, or were, leaders of what the
    British government defines as terrorist
    organizations.... To follow the minister's
    pronouncements to their logical conclusion, Israel may
    take no measure in its self-defense except to arrest
    suicide bombers when they reach Israeli soil, which is
    as good as no defense at all.  Alternatively, he
    believes Israel must resume negotiations with the
    Palestinian Authority, notwithstanding the failure of
    the PA to take steps against terrorist organizations
    and the evidence that it is deeply implicated in
    terrorist activity."

    III.  "Assassination for Disengagement Purposes"

    Military correspondent Alex Fishman wrote on page one
    of mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot (April
    18): "If any such thing as a 'positive assassination'
    exists, then Abdel Aziz Rantisi's assassination
    warrants that term.  That is because the removal of
    Rantisi from the arena is likely to produce a far more
    substantial change in the performance of Hamas in Gaza
    than the assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.  Rantisi
    needed to disappear quickly if only because he threw
    the gates of Gaza wide open to direct Iranian
    influence.... Assassinating leaders on its own serves
    no purpose, unless the weakening of the organization
    they headed is exploited to promote political goals.
    Should the Palestinian Authority rise to the occasion
    and take responsibility in the Gaza Strip as a result
    of Hamas's weakened state, should Egypt, Jordan and
    other moderate Arab countries encourage and bolster
    constructive elements in the Gaza Strip to take
    responsibility and to rehabilitate life there after the
    Israeli withdrawal, should Israel rise to the occasion
    to strengthen those elements in the Gaza Strip that
    have the ability to assume responsibility -- then these
    assassinations will prove to have been efficacious.
    Rantisi's assassination does not change Hamas's desire
    for revenge in the least."

    IV.  "Targeted Assassination of the Objection"

    Political commentator Shalom Yerushalmi wrote in
    popular, pluralist Maariv (April 19): "The serial
    killing of Sheikh Yassin and Rantisi is turning Sharon
    into a national hero within the ranks of the Likud, a
    leader whom one must now join, and not place obstacles
    on his way.... The recent developments are placing the
    Likud opponents of disengagement in a very difficult
    predicament.... Sharon's achievements in the U.S.,
    Rantisi's assassination and the defection of [hard-line
    Likud ministers] Netanyahu and Livnat to the ranks of
    the supporters isolate them and leave them without a
    leader endowed with a stature to continue the
    struggle."
    ¶V.  "A Foreknown Scenario"

    Chief Economic Editor and senior columnist Sever
    Plotker wrote in the editorial of Yediot Aharonot
    (April 18): "The Israeli government does not hide
    behind an anonymous hand.  It announces to all and
    sundry that it intends to kill the people who lead,
    initiate and organize the terrorist campaign against
    it.  That is where the strategic novelty lies.  The
    issue of the open and foreknown assassinations raises a
    large number of legal, moral, military and humanitarian
    questions.  Not all of them either can or should be
    answered.  It is true that Israel has enormously
    expanded the definition of the ticking bomb, which it
    used to justify assassinations early on.  With that
    having been said, one thing is clear: it is
    inconceivable that the people who send others to commit
    suicide bombing attacks should be able to sleep soundly
    in their beds.  If there is justification for killing a
    terrorist on his way to commit a terror attack, there
    is far more justification for killing the commander and
    preacher who sent the terrorist on his way.... Israel
    currently stands at the vanguard of the war on terror.
    It has taken the initiative, and the results are
    impressive.  But we should not delude ourselves.
    Dismantling Hamas's spinal cord and killing its
    leadership will not erase the burning hatred for Israel
    but rather will intensify it -- at least in the short
    run.  Ultimately, Palestinian society is going to have
    to be the one to root out Hamas from its midst, if it
    ever wants to live as a normal society."

    VI.  "The Bush Wrapping"

    Ha'aretz editorialized (April 18): "As the clouds of
    celebration dissipate from around the White House, it
    becomes clear that Sharon has provided a solid
    commitment to implement practical steps, while Bush
    offered a statement and an atmosphere, 'a sober
    evaluation,' with no American commitment regarding
    opposition to the Palestinian right of return or
    recognition of the reality of large blocs of settlement
    in the West Bank that will require adjustment through
    exchanges of territory.  This mysterious American
    policy leaves it to the sides to bargain over the final
    agreement.  As expected, in the wake of Arab and
    European criticism of the plan, the U.S. Administration
    peeled off the plan's wrapping and went back to
    focusing on its immediate benefit to the Palestinians -
    - withdrawal.  In order not to delay the fulfillment of
    the promises until 2005, or the next prime minister,
    Sharon gave in to the demand to immediately dismantle
    the illegal outposts, under close American supervision.
    Under the conditions that have been created, and in
    spite of the real concern over the chaos that will roil
    in the territories, all in all, the removal of
    settlements is of supreme significance as a precedent.
    For this reason, Sharon's plan should be supported, but
    without illusions of any real American guarantees."

    VII.  "Bush Enlisting For the Corrupt One"

    Nationalist, Orthodox Hatzofe editorialized (April 18):
    "The President of the U.S. has done something that is a
    bit startling: if the plan he supports doesn't win a
    majority, he could find himself in additional trouble
    on the eve of the presidential race.  Is it possible
    that President Bush is interested in strengthening the
    image that U.S. night talk show hosts have nurtured
    regarding his judgment?.... The U.S. President is now
    being swept into helping Sharon.  He could find out
    that this cost him his second term.  It is doubtful
    that as far as Israel is concerned, Kerry is better
    than Bush as president.  But, should that happen,
    Sharon could well succeed in causing more damage to
    Israel.  On the other hand, how important is this?  The
    important thing is that the Sharon family survives the
    corruption investigations."

    VIII.  "The Victory of the Hamas Way"

    Arab affairs commentator Danny Rubinstein wrote in
    Ha'aretz (April 19): "The Gaza Strip appears ... to be
    heading toward a new regime, which won't exactly be a
    continuation of the Palestinian Authority, but rather
    'an action committee under the auspices of the PA,' as
    Muhammad Dahlan has suggested.  If in previous years
    there was talk of Hamas joining Arafat's regime, it
    appears now in Gaza that the talk is more to do with
    the PA joining Hamas.  In any event, the Hamas way has
    emerged victorious: there is no political process; the
    armed struggle has returned; the fight is against 'the
    Zionist entity'; and the issue of the right of return
    has once again been brought to the fore."

                           Summary:
                           --------

    Nachman Shai, who was the IDF spokesman during the 1991
    Gulf War, wrote in conservative, independent Jerusalem
    Post: "Israel is rightfully concerned that American
    determination could flag.... An American withdrawal
    would leave us alone in an already hostile environment
    that would only, in such circumstances, become even
    more violent and cruel."

    "Rooting For America"

    Nachman Shai, who was the IDF spokesman during the 1991
    Gulf War, wrote in conservative, independent Jerusalem
    Post (April 18): "Since the allies occupied Iraq more
    than a year ago, Israel has kept a 'low profile'....
    Last week things changed when Defense Minister Shaul
    Mofaz said, 'We are crossing our fingers for the
    Americans... If the U.S. wins in Iraq it will have a
    positive effect on the whole Middle East.  If it is
    forced out due to the pressure of terrorism, it will
    create a new and dangerous model of Arab rule'.... I
    suggest everyone wait and see.  The U.S. is not stupid,
    and the move it initiated in Iraq was justified and
    correct.... Anyone who opts for a policy of surrender
    and appeasement, as recently exhibited by the new
    Spanish government's rush to withdraw its forces from
    Iraq, is only inviting global terror to continue....
    John Kerry has to be very careful when he criticizes
    matters that lie at the core of the ethos of the
    American nation.  In times of war the Americans rally
    around the flag and postpone their criticism for 'the
    day after.'  That day has yet to come.  Israel is
    rightfully concerned that American determination could
    flag.... An American withdrawal would leave us alone in
    an already hostile environment that would only, in such
    circumstances, become even more violent and cruel."
