Palestinian prisoners on way to Ramallah for festive welcome

18 convicts transferred to Bitunia checkpoint en route to PA headquarters; five East Jerusalemites taken to undisclosed location, and three to Gaza

The third phase of Palestinian prisoner releases, agreed as a confidence-building measure to support ongoing peace talks, went ahead late Monday night and into Tuesday morning.The 26 prisoners were driven out of the West Bank’s Ofer Prison. First, three prisoners were taken by van to the Erez Crossing for release into the Gaza Strip, and five others, residents of East Jerusalem who were eligible for Israeli citizenship, were taken to an undisclosed location.Shortly after midnight, the remaining 18 convicts, were transferred from the prison to the Beitunia checkpoint, en route to celebrations in Ramallah.Jailed since before the Oslo Accords of 1993, all 26 men had blood on their hands. Click here for a list of the convicts and their offenses.
In Jerusalem earlier Monday evening, dozens of people, many of whom had lost family members to terror attacks, protested the move, and a last-minute High Court petition to stop the releases was rejected.
Israeli critics of the releases put the blame on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the powerful settler lobby, with many charging that the government should have chosen to stop settlement construction instead of freeing convicted murderers to build confidence between the sides.Netanyahu for his part is expected to approve plans to build 1,400 new homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the coming days.
On Monday night, dozens of protesters armed with black umbrellas marched from the Prime Minister’s Residence to the Old City of Jerusalem, where 15 of them demonstrated outside the home of Ahmed Halaf, one of the 26 prisoners slated to be released.The organizers, representing victims of terror attacks and other opponents of the prisoner releases, had originally gone to court to be allowed to protest, but eventually came to a deal with police that only a limited amount of people would approach the home of Halaf.Earlier in the day, dozens of people protested at the entrance to Jerusalem, attempting to burn tires and block the main road into the city before being stopped by police.Two people were arrested just after midnight Sunday during a protest in front of the Prime Minister’s Residence against the releases.The protesters tried to run past the security guards at the entrance to Netanyahu’s home, banging on pots and yelling out slogans against the government’s decision to release the inmates.It was the mirror image in the West Bank through Monday, as the coming releases generated wide excitement in Palestinian society, where prisoners held by Israel are revered as heroes and freedom fighters. Families decorated their homes and neighborhoods with posters of their loved ones who were returning home and planned large feasts.The family of Ahmed Shihadeh was busy preparing a welcoming celebration in the Qalandiya refugee camp in the West Bank. Shihadeh, 51, has spent nearly 29 years in prison after being convicted in the murder of an alleged collaborator with Israel.His mother, Haseba, 75, said she has “spent my life” visiting her son, but hasn’t been able to make the trip for the past two years because she can no longer walk. “I’ve visited him in 14 jails. I would leave my kids screaming and go for a visit,” she said.In the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Jabal Mukaber, the sound of kettle drums and ululating women filled the air as residents braced for the return of Jamal Abu Jamal, who has spent nearly 20 years in prison for a stabbing attack.Women holding Abu Jamal’s picture sang and danced in circles and praised Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for securing his release. His mother, Rayouf, 77, who is unable to speak after suffering two strokes, sat in a chair with tears in her eyes.“Since she heard the news, she’s getting better,” said Abu Jamal’s sister Huda. “I can’t express how happy she is.”AP contributed to this report.

Kerry ‘deceived’ Israel over prisoner releases, TV report claims

Israeli official tells Channel 2 that US secretary allowed Abbas to believe Netanyahu would free Israeli Arabs, then tried to persuade the PM to do so

December 30, 2013, 9:35 pm 8

US Secretary of State John Kerry “deceived” Israel during the discussions over the release of longtime Palestinian terrorist convicts, a senior Israeli official charged Monday, according to a TV report.The dramatic Channel 2 report — broadcast just a few hours before Israel’s release of a third group of 26 Palestinian prisoners, and shortly before Kerry is due back in the region with hopes to get Israel and the Palestinians to sign a “framework” peace deal — suggested a profound breakdown of trust between the secretary and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Prime Minister’s Office late Monday issued a statement saying it was not accusing Kerry of deception.The TV report said that Netanyahu had sent a message to Kerry in the last few days making crystal clear that Israel will not free any Israeli Arab prisoners in the fourth and final phase of the prisoner releases, set for the coming months, and it suggested that Kerry had duplicitously allowed Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to believe that Israeli Arab prisoners would be freed.According to the report, quoting an unnamed senior Israeli government source, Netanyahu had agreed with Kerry, when they were finalizing terms for a resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks in the summer, that Israel would free 82 Palestinian prisoners in a series of phased releases, and that Israel would not include any Israeli Arab convicts among those to be freed. And yet when Abbas demanded, in his own separate meetings with Kerry, that 104 prisoners be released, and that Israeli Arab terrorist convicts be among those set free, “Kerry did not correct him,” the report said, presumably because he did not want to scupper the talks.Instead, having chosen not to resolve the discrepancy with Abbas, the secretary of state came back to Netanyahu, and apparently attempted to persuade the prime minister to change his position. According to the TV report, that was when the issue of a possible release of spy-for-Israel Jonathan Pollard entered the equation. Netanyahu reiterated to Kerry that he was not prepared to release Israeli Arab prisoners as any kind of a goodwill gesture to Abbas, but said he might consider doing so as a gesture to the United States, were Washington to free Pollard. The secretary then promised to look into the possibility.
In the last few days, the report continued, Netanyahu had made clear to Kerry that Israel’s refusal to release Israeli Arab terror convicts is unchanged. The prime minister has also instructed the Shin Bet security service and the Israel Prison Service to draw up a list of 26 names for the fourth and final scheduled batch of prisoner releases, set to take place in the coming months, that does not include any Israeli Arabs.The report sensationally quoted the senior Israeli official charging that Kerry had “deceived” Israel over the episode, but did not specify precisely what the official meant by the charge. Apparently the accusation related to Kerry failing to tell Abbas that Israel would not free Israeli Arabs, and failing to reconcile the discrepancy over the overall numbers of prisoners to be released, and then trying to persuade Israel to change its position on the issue, including by referencing Pollard..Israel has historically been disinclined to give the Palestinian leadership any say in the fate of Israeli Arab citizens, regarding such citizens as being solely an Israeli responsibility. Among the 26 prisoners going free on Monday night were several East Jerusalem residents, who would theoretically be eligible for Israeli citizenship and who hold Israeli residency papers, but none of them is a full Israeli citizen.The complicated TV report, by Channel 2′s well-connected diplomatic correspondent Udi Segal, came in the wake of a series of contradictory reports at the weekend concerning purported American readiness to consider freeing Pollard — reports that were denied by the White House and played down by the US Ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro.“I suggest we don’t believe every media report,” Shapiro said Sunday morning. “There’s no direct link between Pollard and the [peace] negotiations or the prisoner release. These are different issues.”Israel’s Channel 10 News reported Friday night, citing unnamed Israeli sources, that Kerry had offered to arrange the release of Pollard if Israel freed Israeli Arab prisoners in the fourth and final phase of the prisoner releases. That TV report added, however, that Kerry clarified in his contacts with Israel’s leaders on the issue that Pollard’s release had not been approved by President Barack Obama, and the report further said Israel doubted that Kerry could actually secure Obama’s approval.In contrast to the TV report, Israel Radio reported Friday night that Kerry had merely promised to check into the possibility of freeing Pollard, as requested by Netanyahu.Pollard has served 28 years for spying for Israel. Israeli politicians of all stripes, led by Netanyahu, have recently called on the US to let the 59-year-old former US naval intelligence analyst go free. The issue has hit the headlines again particularly in light of recent revelations that the US spied on Israeli prime ministers and other senior officials in 2008 and 2009.After a lengthy debate at the Knesset last Wednesday, an overwhelming 106 of the 120 Knesset members signed off on an official request to Obama to free Pollard, who is a dual US-Israeli citizen.
Last Monday, Netanyahu met with Esther Pollard, wife of the Israeli-American spy, and “updated her on the non-stop efforts to release Jonathan,” according to a statement by his office.Pollard was convicted in 1987 on charges of passing classified information to Israel while he worked as an intelligence analyst for the US Navy. He was given a life sentence for the crime, sparking decades of activism for his release by Jewish groups, and, more recently, some high-profile US and Israeli officials.Marissa Newman contributed to this report.

14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.


Likud sources claim PM ready to negotiate on basis of pre-1967 lines

Netanyahu reported to have changed position, said to see Kerry’s ‘framework’ terms as a basis for talks, TV report claims

December 30, 2013, 11:04 pm 6

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prepared to continue peace talks for another year on the basis of US Secretary of State John Kerry’s “framework” agreement, which provides for negotiations for Palestinian statehood on the basis of the pre-1967 lines, according to Likud sources quoted by Israel’s Channel 10 news Monday night.Netanyahu is prepared to view the framework agreement, including the provisions for talks on the basis of the pre-1967 lines, as “a basis for negotiation,” the sources were quoted as saying. The report noted that Netanyahu’s ostensible assent is based on the assumption that neither he nor Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will be required to actually sign the Kerry framework proposal.
Netanyahu has hitherto refused to negotiate Palestinian statehood on the basis of the pre-1967 lines. There was no confirmation from the Prime Minister’s office of the Channel 10 report.Palestinian sources told the Saudi daily Al-Watan on Sunday that the Kerry plan offers Israeli and Palestinian negotiators a political trade-off: Israeli recognition of the 1967 lines as a basis for the future Palestinian state, in return for Palestinian recognition of Israel as the state of the Jewish people.Kerry is due back in the region later this week.Netanyahu refused in the summer to agree to talks on the basis of the pre-1967 lines, or to freeze all settlement building — two preconditions demanded by Abbas. He did accept a third demand — agreeing to free 104 Palestinian prisoners, most of them terrorists convicted of involvement in the murder of Israelis. Twenty-six such convicts were being freed Monday night, in the third of a four-phase program of releases.
The prisoner releases were agreed as part of the terms for a nine-month period of peace talks which began in July and is set to end in April. Kerry, who had spoken optimistically about reaching a peace deal in that timeframe, is now hoping to secure the two sides’ agreement on the “framework” deal, in order to keep the talks alive. The framework agreement reportedly outlines the particulars of a permanent status accord to resolve core issues — Israeli security, the status of Jerusalem, the borders of a Palestinian state, and the issue of Palestinian refugees.Kerry’s visit will come amid a row over reported plans by Netanyahu to imminently authorize construction of 1,400 homes over the pre-1967 Green Line — 600 of them in Jerusalem, and 800 in West Bank settlements. Abbas has urged the US to block the plans.Ahead of the framework deal, Kerry has in recent weeks detailed security proposals for a peace accord — sparking more disagreements between the two sides.While allowing for an Israeli military presence in the border area between Jordan and the West Bank, the security proposals would require the dismantling of all Israel’s settlements in the Jordan Valley, an Army Radio report said last week.According to the report, the Kerry security proposals provide for a massively upgraded border fence along the border between the West Bank and Jordan, with the IDF maintaining sole responsibility for the border for the first 10 years of a peace agreement. After that, border authority would be shared in some as-yet unfinalized constellation between Israel and the PA.Netanyahu has insisted on retaining the IDF’s deployment at that border; Abbas has rejected it, while allowing for the possibility of an international force.The US, under the proposals, would provide an additional West Bank security “envelope,” which would utilize drones and other high-tech equipment to provide real-time intelligence on any terrorist threats and other unlawful border activity.The Americans’ thinking is that if they can get Netanyahu’s agreement to the security plan, he might prove to be more flexible on other core issues of a peace accord, such as border demarcation, Palestinian refugee claims and Jerusalem, the report said.
After a meeting with Abbas last week, an Arab League official said the PA president would not agree to even one Israeli soldier on the Palestinian-Jordanian border. He also indicated that Abbas refuses to acquiesce to a completely demilitarized Palestinian state, or recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, both key Israeli demands. Abbas would consent to a three-year Israeli military withdrawal process from the territories, according to an agreed-upon timeline, the official said.The PA president is demanding control of “all East Jerusalem,” which would become the Palestinian capital, and would be open to one-for-one land swaps to adjust the Green Line, provided the territory to be swapped was of equivalent value, the official added.


Israeli envoy urges UN to act over Lebanon attacks

Ron Prosor warns that Israel cannot be expected to stand by as its citizens are targeted in persistent incidents

December 30, 2013, 11:05 pm 0-The Times of Israel

A day after a volley of rockets broke a tense calm on the border with Lebanon, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations called on the organization to act in southern Lebanon and prevent further border incidents.
In a missive sent to Secretary General Ban Ki-moon Monday, Ron Prosor said the Security Council should work to assure the rocket fire does not evolve into a wider conflict.“I urge the Security Council to address the escalation on the part of Lebanon before the situation further escalates,” he wrote. “Israel has shown maximum restraint, but will continue to exercise its right to self-defense, as appropriate, and take all necessary measures to protect its citizens.”On Sunday, four rockets were fired at Israel from southern Lebanon, with two landing in open areas near the town of Kiryat Shmona. The missiles landed in open areas and caused no damage, but shocked the country after several years of relative calm along the northern front.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would hold Beirut and the terror group Hezbollah responsible, though some analysts said the rockets may have been the work of other militiamen.“Israel cannot be expected to stand by as its citizens become the victims of persistent attacks,” Prosor wrote. “The reign of terror is the result of a complete drought in leadership on the part of the Lebanese government, which is harboring Hezbollah terrorists and undermining regional stability.”The rockets were the second violent border incident in several days, after an IDF soldier was killed by sniper fire from a Lebanese soldier last week while driving near the border.In both cases UNIFIL, which has monitored the border between the countries for the United Nations since the 2006 Second Lebanon War, convened officials from both sides in a bid to calm tensions.Maj. Gen. Paolo Serra made contact with the Israeli and Lebanese armies immediately after Sunday’s incident and urged both sides to exercise “maximum restraint.” He said UNIFIL had stepped up patrols in southern Lebanon to prevent any further incidents.“I have been assured by the parties of their full cooperation with UNIFIL in this effort and of their continued commitment to the cessation of hostilities,” Serra said in a statement. “It is of paramount importance to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of this attack and we will spare no efforts to this end working in cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces.”
Prosor made it clear that, regardless of who was behind the incidents, it is the Beirut authorities that must bear the blame.“The Government of Israel holds the Lebanese government responsible for the escalation of violence in recent weeks,” Prosor wrote. “In addition to the wave of rockets, armed fighters have been firing across the Blue Line into northern Israel throughout the month of December. And just last week, a member of the Lebanese Armed Forces shot and killed an Israeli, Shlomi Cohen, while he was driving in a civilian vehicle inside Israel.”The ambassador highlighted Hezbollah’s presence in Lebanon and noted that its military use of the area near the border with Israel is a war crime.“In direct violation of international law, Hezbollah has stationed tens of thousands of missiles and rockets in the heart of Southern Lebanon’s civilian population,” he wrote. “Hezbollah is committing a double war crime; first by using Lebanese civilians as human shields and second by targeting Israeli citizens.”
