    Sharon Visit April 14

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

    The joint White House press conference of President
    Bush and PM Sharon at the White House Wednesday, and
    the subsequent exchange of letters between them,
    dominate the media.  Bush endorsed Sharon's
    disengagement plan, calling it "brave and courageous."
    Yediot bannered a comment by Sharon: "This is a
    commitment, the likes of which we never received from
    America."  Israel Radio quoted Israel's Ambassador to
    the U.S. as saying that this is a tremendous diplomatic
    achievement that will bring hope to the peace process,
    and that it represents a hint that the PA should
    renounce support for terrorism.  The radio reported
    that Sharon's flight home was delayed by three hours
    following his demand to see the final version of Bush's
    letter, and that the State Department tried to tone
    down its contents until the last moment.

    Ha'aretz and other media reported that Bush's letter
    states that Israel will not return to the 1949
    armistice lines and that Palestinian refugees will not
    return to Israel.  Some commentators wondered about the
    meaning of the term "rather than" in Bush's remark at
    the press conference, which called for "the
    establishment of a Palestinian state and the settling
    of Palestinian refugees there, rather than Israel." The
    media also reported that, in his letter, Bush said "new
    realities on the ground" -- meaning concentrations of
    Jewish settlers in the territories -- would have to be
    taken in consideration.  Israel Radio quoted a senior
    member of Sharon's delegation as saying that a document
    appended to Bush's letter says that details about the
    fence route around Ariel will be clarified.  Sharon's
    letter states: "According to this [the disengagement]
    plan, the State of Israel intends to relocate military
    installations and all Israeli villages and towns in the
    Gaza Strip, as well as other military installations and
    a small number of villages in Samaria [the northern
    West Bank].  In his letter, Sharon also pledges to
    limit the growth of settlements, remove unauthorized
    outposts and allow freedom of movement for
    "Palestinians not engaged in terrorism."

    Leading media reported that Sharon declined to meet
    with Democratic presidential contender Sen. John Kerry.
    Israel Radio noted that Sharon gave a tight schedule as
    the reason for his refusal.

    Israel Radio reported that Sharon will convene his
    cabinet upon his return from Washington.  The media
    reported that mainstream Likud cabinet ministers such
    as Ehud Olmert and Tzippi Livni welcomed the U.S.-
    Israeli understandings.  Israel Radio noted that
    Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu greeted the
    achievements reached at Wednesday's meeting, but has
    reservations about the U.S. position on the route of
    the fence.  The radio noted that FM Silvan Shalom has
    not expressed himself in the matter, and quoted
    Minister Uzi Landau as saying that he is calling on the
    Likud to thwart Sharon's plan, commitments by former
    U.S. presidents have not been kept.  Landau
    specifically mentioned Ronald Reagan's pledge that
    Saudi fighter planes would not be stationed near
    Israel's border.  Yediot quoted settler leader Shaul
    Goldstein as saying: "Bush's statements about beginning
    to evacuate settlements are very dangerous.  He didn't
    even mention keeping settlement blocs."  IDF Radio
    reported that former PM Ehud Barak has called on Sharon
    to finish building the separation fence quickly as part
    of an emergency program before the withdrawal from Gaza
    and the removal of settlements from the West Bank.
    Barak called upon the Labor Party to provide, under
    certain circumstances, a safety net to Sharon against
    right-wing opposition, but also criticized him for
    proposing the disengagement plan only now.  Yahad party
    leader and Geneva Accord co-initiator Yossi Beilin told
    Israel Radio that he fears that Sharon's plan could
    mark the end of Sharon's concessions.

    Ha'aretz (English Ed.) published a Letter to the Editor
    by Peace Now secretary-general Yariv Oppenheimer, who
    endorses "every evacuation of land in the occupied
    territories," along with the Geneva Accord.
    Oppenheimer writes that Peace Now is convinced that its
    position will not cause a conflict inside the peace
    camp.

    Leading media quoted PA Chairman Yasser Arafat,
    Palestinian PM Ahmed Qurei (Abu Ala) and other
    Palestinian officials as saying that the understandings
    between the U.S. and Israel signify the end of the
    peace process.  Qurei said that Bush is the first U.S.
    president to recognize settlements.  The media quoted
    Geneva Accord co-initiator and former PA minister
    Yasser Abed Rabbo as saying that the road map has been
    replaced by Sharon's plan.

    This morning, Israel Radio reported that the Irish EU
    presidency responded to the Bush-Sharon meeting by
    saying that any plan to allow Israel to hold onto
    territory captured in 1967 must be with the consent of
    the Palestinians.

    Israel Radio reported that this morning Al Jazeera-TV
    and Al Arabiya-TV released an audiotape purportedly
    from Osama bin Laden, threatening to exact revenge on
    Israel for the assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.

    Ha'aretz reported that two weeks ago the IDF arrested a
    16-year-old Palestinian who admitted to having been a
    "talent scout" for Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades would-be
    suicide bombers.
    Leading media reported that Wednesday twelve people
    were wounded in clashes between Border Police and
    protesters demonstrating against the fence at Biddu
    village, west of Jerusalem.  The media also reported
    that two youths were wounded in clashes between
    settlers and security forces at the site of the Hazon
    David outpost between Kiryat Arba and Hebron.

    Jerusalem Post cited a poll conducted among
    Palestinians by the Gaza-based General Institute for
    Information:
    -94.1 percent of Palestinians believe there is a state
    of lawlessness and chaos in PA-controlled territories.
    -Only 29.2 percent of the respondents blame the Israeli
    occupation for the failure of the PA to enforce law and
    order; 25 percent believe that the PA leadership is
    responsible for the anarchy because it has lost control
    over the situation; 19.1 percent blame the absence of a
    proper judicial system; 16 percent say that the problem
    is the existence of centers of power within the PA; 25
    percent say the PA security forces are responsible for
    the deterioration.

    Sharon Visit April 14:
    ----------------------

                           Summary:
                           --------

    Senior columnist Nahum Barnea wrote from Washington on
    page one of mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot
    Aharonot: "Wednesday, President Bush gave Sharon
    winning cards in his campaign for the registered Likud
    members, and what Bush did not give, the negative, if
    not hysterical, reaction in the Arab world and the
    Palestinian Authority will."

    Senior columnist and chief defense commentator Zeev
    Schiff wrote in independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz:
    "Israel would do well not to ignore Bush's words. The
    American leader again promised the Palestinians a
    viable state, and a state cannot be viable when it is
    made up of patches of territory."

    Diplomatic correspondent Ben Caspit wrote on page one
    of popular, pluralist Maariv: "We must not miss the
    fact that Bush is embracing Sharon, adopting
    disengagement, going with it and describing it as a
    courageous and daring historical step."

    Veteran print and TV journalist Dan Margalit wrote on
    page one of Maariv: "Bush's declaration sounded so pro-
    Israel that no one in Ramallah or Gaza will dare to
    stand in the suicide bombers' way."
    Diplomatic correspondent Aluf Benn wrote in Ha'aretz:
    "Just because Bush and Sharon have written a new script
    for the Palestinians doesn't mean they will follow it."

    Chief Economic Editor and senior columnist Sever
    Plotker wrote in the editorial of Yediot Aharonot:
    "Bush justly referred to Sharon's decision to withdraw
    as a 'historic decision'; indeed it is historic, and a
    majority of the Israeli people supports it.  As to the
    national-diplomatic achievement of Sharon's visit to
    Bush, things are far more equivocal."

    Conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized:
    "It is a measure of how far Israel's diplomatic
    position has fallen that yesterday's exchange of
    letters between George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon should
    be considered a signal victory."

    Columnist Haggai Huberman wrote in nationalist,
    Orthodox Hatzofe: "For 36 years the United States has
    advocated an Israeli withdrawal from Judea, Samaria and
    Gaza [the territories].  Contrary to Sharon's request,
    Bush made no real commitment Wednesday about the final
    status arrangement."

    ¶I.  "Bush Has Already Voted"

    Senior columnist Nahum Barnea wrote from Washington on
    page one of mass-circulation, pluralist Yediot Aharonot
    (April 15): "Wednesday, President Bush gave Sharon
    winning cards in his campaign for the registered Likud
    members, and what Bush did not give, the negative, if
    not hysterical, reaction in the Arab world and the
    Palestinian Authority will.  Bush gave Sharon words,
    just words, but what words.  Sharon is right when he
    says that Israel has not received words like those
    since the establishment of the State of Israel -- and
    certainly not since 1967.... With all the festive talk
    about the road map and about its stated goal -- the
    establishment of a Palestinian state -- both the Bush
    administration and Sharon have moved further away from
    the vision of a Palestinian state.  Until now the
    Palestinians have had a government without a state.
    Now they are being offered a state without a
    government.  There probably isn't anything like that in
    the world.... Sharon has urged people [Israelis] not to
    rush out and dance in the streets.  The President's
    letter is no Balfour Declaration.  With that having
    been said, after his meeting with Bush, he acted like
    someone who has already won the campaign."
    II.  "Double-Edge Bush"

    Senior columnist and chief defense commentator Zeev
    Schiff wrote in independent, left-leaning Ha'aretz
    (April 15): "Whoever tries to present U.S. President
    George Bush's statements as the second Balfour
    Declaration in terms of their importance to Israel, is
    getting carried away.  The most significant achievement
    was the emphasis placed on the fact that a solution for
    the Palestinian refugees will be outside the borders of
    the Jewish state, as Israel has long demanded.  In
    other words, if the right of return' exists, it will be
    realized inside a future Palestinian state, and not
    inside Israel, which Bush again defined as a Jewish
    state.  On the territorial front, however, the
    achievement is only partial, and Israel would do well
    not to ignore Bush's words. The American leader again
    promised the Palestinians a viable state, and a state
    cannot be viable when it is made up of patches of
    territory."

    III.  "Presidential Embrace"

    Diplomatic correspondent Ben Caspit wrote on page one
    of popular, pluralist Maariv (April 15): "Wednesday,
    Sharon got his hug, and his candy too.  It is
    reasonable to assume that he will rise in the polls
    that are really important, the [Likud] party members'
    polls.... What is great about Bush's statements
    Wednesday is that they can be interpreted in any
    direction.  Here, there and everywhere.  Nonetheless,
    we must not miss the fact that Bush is embracing
    Sharon, adopting disengagement, going with it and
    describing it as a courageous and daring historical
    step.  Bush is telling members of the Likud: 'You need
    to support Sharon on his own merits.  Who am I to
    defend him?  But do not forget: a "no" to Sharon is
    also a "no" to America.'  And America is not in a
    situation where it is willing to hear one more no.
    Certainly not from us."

    IV.  "He Got It"

    Veteran print and TV journalist Dan Margalit wrote on
    page one of Maariv (April 15): "As of last night,
    Sharon was the big winner.  If the Likud referendum
    were to be held today he would receive the full
    dividend.  But nothing is final yet.  Europe will rebel
    against America.  The Arab world will not acquiesce.
    The crescendo of Bush and Sharon is so deafeningly loud
    that Abu Ala will not be able to praise the unilateral
    withdrawal as he had planned.  If these developments
    lead to a resumption of Palestinian terror in full
    force -- because Bush's declaration sounded so pro-
    Israel that no one in Ramallah or Gaza will dare to
    stand in the suicide bombers' way -- the achievement
    could turn into a Pyrrhic victory.  Too much success at
    a heavy price necessarily carries the seeds of failure.
    But not last night.  As of now the celebrations are at
    their height.  A great achievement for Sharon, with
    question marks nearby."

    ¶V.  "Rewriting the Script"

    Diplomatic correspondent Aluf Benn wrote in Ha'aretz
    (April 15): "Sharon exploited Bush's current political
    weakness, but paid back the president with public
    praise for his leadership in the war against terrorism
    and a refusal to meet with Bush's rival, Democratic
    front-runner John Kerry.  Bush paid Sharon back with an
    almost transparent call on Likud rank and file to vote
    in favor of the plan.  The Palestinians -- who weren't
    invited to the party -- will pay the price of the
    strengthened friendship between Bush and Sharon.
    Sharon heard the harsh reactions of the Palestinians as
    proof of Sharon's argument that the disengagement is a
    blow to the Palestinians and good for Israel.  But just
    because Bush and Sharon have written a new script for
    the Palestinians doesn't mean they will follow it."

    VI.  "Loves a Lot, Gives a Little"

    Chief Economic Editor and senior columnist Sever
    Plotker wrote in the editorial of Yediot Aharonot
    (April 15): "Bush justly referred to Sharon's decision
    to withdraw as a 'historic decision'; indeed it is
    historic, and a majority of the Israeli people supports
    it.  As to the national-diplomatic achievement of
    Sharon's visit to Bush, things are far more equivocal.
    First of all, Bush of the spring of 2004 is not Bush of
    the spring of 2003... Bush's statements have a hollow
    ring to them.  To what extent did Bush accede to
    Sharon's requests?  Taking a superficial view, the
    Israeli prime minister received everything he wanted.
    A closer look finds that this 'everything' is merely a
    small addition to the traditional American
    positions.... Some people have compared Bush's
    statement to the Balfour Declaration.  That is a
    perverse comparison.  Israel today is not in the
    situation of the Zionist movement in 1917.  Eighty-
    seven years ago the Jewish people did not have a state;
    it lived in foreign countries and needed the graces of
    the great powers for everything it wanted, and
    particularly for the realization of its national
    aspirations.... And another difference: President Bush
    today does not have an imperial mandate over the Land
    of Israel and Palestine, and cannot divide its land.
    At the very most he can make his suggestions and hope
    that they are accepted.... [Nonetheless], Sharon
    sponsored a significant political initiative and reaped
    significant public relations fruits.  The Palestinians,
    as usual, did not have the sense to offer anything but
    more terror and, therefore, lost."

    VII.  "Forward to Square One"

    Conservative, independent Jerusalem Post editorialized
    (April 15): "It is a measure of how far Israel's
    diplomatic position has fallen that yesterday's
    exchange of letters between George W. Bush and Ariel
    Sharon should be considered a signal victory.... What
    Sharon and Bush have done is to return to pre-Camp
    David assumptions, thereby partly undoing the
    diplomatic damage wrought by the Barak-Clinton run at a
    final-status agreement and the terror offensive that
    followed.  The Bush statement that the U.S. 'expects'
    that Israel will retain 'already existing major Israeli
    population centers' in a final-status agreement is
    significant, but not as significant as it may seem.
    The other shoe has yet to fall on this issue, as
    nothing was said to rule out another invention of the
    Barak/Clinton era -- land swaps.... It is clear now
    that Israel must go through with Sharon's disengagement
    plan, as painful as it will be to implement. In a way,
    the plan is another terrible gamble, this time on the
    word of the United States that it will continue to
    condition Palestinian statehood on an end to terror and
    the establishment of a truly free and peaceful
    Palestinian society.... At yesterday's summit,
    President Bush once again came through for Israel at a
    crucial hour. What remains to be seen is whether his
    State Department will come through on the follow-up."

    VIII.  "The Voice Belongs to Bush, the Hands are that
    of the Geneva Agreement"

    Columnist Haggai Huberman wrote in nationalist,
    Orthodox Hatzofe (April 15): "Bush eventually did not
    say anything new and did not change anything in the
    traditional policy his country has maintained from 5727
    [i.e. 1967] up to this very day.  He only allowed
    commentators to pump their wares so as to facilitate
    the brainwashing of the registered Likud members prior
    to the referendum.  Every other analysis is correct to
    the very same degree.... One need not be overly
    impressed with Bush's statement that the disengagement
    plan is an historic and courageous action that might
    bring progress and end one of the longest conflicts in
    human history.  For 36 years the United States has
    advocated an Israeli withdrawal from Judea, Samaria and
    Gaza [the territories].  Contrary to Sharon's request,
    Bush made no real commitment Wednesday about the final
    status arrangement."
