IRAN A THREAT - BUSH IN ISRAEL

Bush: Iran is a threat to world peace By ANNE GEARAN, AP Diplomatic Writer JAN 09,08

JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Wednesday that there will be no peace unless attacks are halted from all parts of the Palestinian territories, including those not controlled by his negotiating partners in the Palestinian leadership. But he said that both sides are very seriously trying to move forward on a deal. Israel does not tolerate and will not tolerate the continuation of these vicious attacks, Olmert said, after two and a half hours of talks with President Bush. We will not hesitate to take all the necessary measures. There will be no peace unless terror is stopped. And terror will have to be stopped everywhere. On the first day of his eight-day Mideast trip aimed at pushing the Israelis and Palestinians toward an agreement, Bush declared there is a historic moment, a historic opportunity. But he also said: I'm under no allusions. This is going to be hard work.America cannot dictate the terms of what a state will look like, he added. We'll help.

Earlier Wednesday, an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza killed two Palestinians and wounded four others, a move the Israeli army said was taken in response to Palestinian militants who had bombarded the rocket-scarred southern Israeli city of Sderot with rocket and mortar fire.Bush said he and Olmert also discussed Iran. Iran is a threat to world peace, he said.Bush found himself challenged by his Israeli allies on a recent U.S. intelligence report saying Iran halted a nuclear weapons program in 2003. Tehran's nuclear ambitions are a chief fear in Israel, and the U.S. report led some in the region — both Israelis and Arab nations concerned about rising Iranian influence — to doubt the U.S. commitment to reining Tehran in.The fact that they suspended the program was heartening, Bush said. The fact that they had one was discouraging because they could restart it.Bush's arrival in Israel came amid ongoing land squabbles and fears of violence. There's been little headway since he hosted a splashy Mideast conference in November in Annapolis, which launched the first major peace talks in seven years.But Olmert, despite his tough words on terror attacks, spoke optimistically as well.

Your visit is timely and is very important to encourage the process that you and Secretary Rice helped start in Annapolis few weeks ago and that we, both sides I believe are very seriously trying to move forward with now in order to realize the vision of a two-state solution, the Israeli leader said.Bush said he believes both Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas are determined to make the hard choices necessary.Am I nudging them forward? Well, my trip was a pretty significant nudge because yesterday they had a meeting, he said. And he said he would step in when and if his involvement is needed. You know me well enough to know I'll be more than willing to provide it, Bush said.

Bush sees fresh hope for peace as Mideast tour begins by Yana Dlugy JAN 09,08

JERUSALEM (AFP) - US President George W. Bush said he saw a fresh opportunity for peace in the Middle East as he arrived in the region on Wednesday at the start of a landmark tour marked by escalating tensions with Iran. With Israel on top security alert, Bush flew in for his first presidential visit to the Jewish state and Palestinian territories, seeking to score a foreign policy triumph in his last year in office by forging a long-elusive Middle East peace deal.The White House lowered any expectations the trip would produce an early breakthrough, however, National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley telling reporters on Bush's plane that the US is not looking for big deliverables out of a trip of this sort.Israel rolled out a full red carpet ceremony, with dignitaries welcoming the leader of its closest ally on the tarmac at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv when Air Force One touched down.We see a new opportunity for peace here in the Holy Land and for freedom across the region, declared Bush, who has pledged to advance peace talks with a view to creating a Palestinian state before the end of this year, his last as president.

Negotiations were relaunched amid great fanfare at a US conference six weeks ago but have since faltered amid mounting violence between Israel and Gaza militants, and Jewish settlement activity on occupied Palestinian land.Israeli President Shimon Peres, a Nobel peace laureate, said 2008 would be a moment of truth but said stopping the madness of Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas was key in advancing peacemaking.We take your advice to not underestimate the Iranian threat. Iran should not underestimate our resolve for self defence, said Peres.Bush has taken aim at Iran after a confrontation between Iranian vessels and US warships in the strategic Strait of Hormuz that has further inflamed tensions already high over Tehran's nuclear programme.We viewed it as a provocative act. It is a dangerous situation and they should not have done it, pure and simple, Bush declared on Tuesday.The Pentagon released a video and audiotape to back up its charge that Iranian speedboats swarmed around three US warships and radioed a threat to blow them up. Iran retorted that it was a clumsy fabrication.

Reacting to Bush's arrival in the region, Syria said the US president's efforts to protray Iran as the enemy of Arabs during his tour was doomed to failure.It is an attempt -- which will not succeed -- to replace the Israeli threat which is real and concrete, by an Iranian danger, which is illusory, Information Minister Mohsen Bilal told reporters in Damascus.Bush later went into talks with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert which a senior Israeli official told AFP would focus mainly on Iran.Olmert would present Bush with new Israeli material which would challenge the findings of a US intelligence report in December which found Tehran had abandoned its clandestine nuclear weapons programme in 2003, said the official, who declined to be named.After the NIE report was released Olmert instructed all security intelligence services to work hard to come up with new assessments to counter the US report, the official said.Olmert himself hailed Bush on his arrival as Israel's strongest and most trusted ally in the battle against terrorism, and said the bond between their two nations was unshakeable.

On Thursday Bush will visit Ramallah for talks with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas. Israeli and Palestinian authorities have set up a massive security operation amid threats of violence, including a call by US member of Al-Qaeda who urged followers to greet Bush with bombs not flowers.Bush said at a meeting with Peres that he was optimistic and realistic as he embarked on the first US presidential visit to Israel in nine years, but that it was vital for the world to fight terrorists.It won't be the last year but maybe the best year for peace, Peres said. At the airport earlier, Bush said the alliance between Washington and Israel helps guarantee Israel's security as a Jewish state, sparking ire from the Islamist Hamas group that has ruled the Gaza Strip for seven months. The comments betray the true objectives of Bush, who has come to the region to offer political support to the occupier... without taking into account the interests of our people, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a statement.

On the eve of Bush's visit, Olmert and Abbas agreed to start negotiations on key issues at the heart of their conflict -- borders, Jewish settlements, Jerusalem and refugees -- at a meeting aimed at revitalising the hobbled talks. But violence continued to simmer, with Israeli troops killing a Gaza militant and two Palestinian civilians, and gunmen launching 11 rockets and mortar shells into Israel. There is widespread Arab scepticism of Bush's chances of achieving a breakthrough in the decades-long Middle East conflict, amid anger over the war in Iraq and criticism that Washington is too partial to Israel. In a bid to win backing for his campaign against Iran, Bush will travel to key allies in the oil-rich Gulf -- Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia -- before ending his tour in Egypt on January 16. I am there to reassure and to look people in the eye and say, I believe Iran is a threat; we have a strategy to deal with it; and we want to work with you, Bush told Arabic television Al-Arabiya. I believe we can solve this diplomatically, he said. On the other hand... all options must be on the table in order to make sure diplomacy is effective.

Nicolas Sarkozy endorses Tony Blair in EU job
By Toby Helm and Henry Samuel in Paris 2:09am GMT 09/01/2008

Tony Blair is to return to the front line of European politics in Paris this weekend - amid growing signs of a campaign to install him as the European Union's first fully fledged president.Mr Blair has agreed to speak alongside Nicolas Sarkozy, the President of France, who is actively promoting the former prime minister for a role that would make him the most influential figure in EU affairs.
Natural for the job: Tony Blair is being tipped to become the President of the EU Council of Ministers

Mr Sarkozy told The Daily Telegraph he held talks with Mr Blair over Christmas while both were holidaying in the Egyptian resort of Sharm El Sheikh. While he refused to be drawn about the detail of their discussions, Mr Sarkozy said he was delighted that Mr Blair had agreed to attend the conference of his centre-Right Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP).Mr Blair's speech will be his most important since he left Downing Street last June and he is expected to dwell on the EU's role in world affairs.It will be followed by his attendance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, later this month and an appearance soon after at a meeting of French socialists.Hailing his decision, the UMP's website says the meeting is assuming a particular and exceptional character with the participation of the former prime minister of Great Britain, Tony Blair.

advertisementGordon Brown is likely to be less enthusiastic about the prospect of his old rival returning to centre stage - both within the EU and at the Davos gathering attended by world statesmen and business leaders.A spokesman for Mr Blair said he remained fully focused on his job as a Middle Peace Envoy for the quartet of powers - the EU, United Nations, United States and Russia.But he refused to rule Mr Blair out for the new EU post, which will begin in January next year.The President of the EU Council of Ministers - which could be taken on a three-day working week - will carry a package worth around £200,000 a year and would make Mr Blair the most important figure in EU politics.Last October, Mr Sarkozy said choosing Mr Blair would be a smart move because he remained one the EU's most outstanding figures.Denis MacShane, the former Europe minister, said last night that many in Europe thought Mr Blair was a natural for the job.However, he said Mr Blair's support for the war in Iraq and the UK's decisions not to take part in core EU projects, such as the euro, might count against him when EU leaders vote later this year.
