911 ATTACK THREATENED AGAIN REPORTS

Europe's debt woes hammer stocks, euro
Reuters By Richard Leong | Reuters – SEPT 9,11

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Fears over Europe's festering debt problems punished global stocks and the euro on Friday as the stakes intensified for the world's top finance officials to find ways to prevent the crisis from spiraling out of control.The euro hit 6-1/2 month lows against the dollar, with more declines likely after the European Central Bank shifted away from further rises in interest rates, a key driver in the single currency's rally this year.Nervousness over the outcome of a Greek debt swap deal fueled safe-haven buying of German and U.S. government debt. The 10-year Bund yield hit another record low, while yields on benchmark U.S. Treasuries touched a 60-year trough.Europe is the No. 1 thing causing pressure on the market as the realization grows that what we've done so far hasn't worked, said Liz Ann Sonders, the New York-based chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab Corp, which has $1.65 trillion in client assets.Divisions within the ECB on the handling of Europe's debt woes boiled over on Friday. Reuters reported board member Juergen Stark will resign because of a conflict over its controversial bond-buying program. The ECB later confirmed Stark will step down at the end of the year.When you get a new story like this, that there's internal turmoil on the ECB, that immediately has implications for the bond-buying program, which immediately has implications on the capital level in European banks, said Jack de Gan, chief investment officer at Harbor Advisory Corp in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.The debt swap deal is critical for Greece to secure a second bailout and avert a near-term default that could ripple across Europe and the global banking system.Banks and insurers face a Friday deadline to indicate whether they will join an exchange of Greek debt, part of an international bailout package agreed in July. It is expected 70 percent of these private investors would agree to such a move, below the 90 percent threshold that Greece has said it wants to go through with the deal.

The cost to insure Greek sovereign debt for five years surged to a record high of 3,106 basis points, up nearly 300 basis points on the day, according to Markit.With that as a backdrop, finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of Seven industrialized nations were to meet in Marseille later on Friday.Meeting host France has called for a coordinated response from G7 members to deal with Europe's debt crisis and the region's shaky banks.In the United States, President Barack Obama unveiled his $447 billion plan to revive economic growth. But investors worried that Congress would hold it up and the Federal Reserve may not follow quickly enough with its own action.Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, in a speech on Thursday, left the door open for more monetary stimulus but withheld details on the timing and what type of measures the Fed would enact.At 12:40 p.m. (1622 GMT), the Dow Jones industrial average was down 324.11 points, or 2.87 percent, at 10,971.70. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 33.01 points, or 2.78 percent, at 1,152.89. The Nasdaq Composite Index was down 63.51 points, or 2.51 percent, at 2,465.63.Top European shares were off 2.6 percent, and the MSCI world equity index was off 2.9 percent. The FTSEurofirst 300 index and the MSCI world gauge were down 3.4 percent on the week.

Another retreat in equities boosted safe-haven German and U.S. government bond prices. The 10-year Bund yield touched an all-time low of 1.75 percent, while the benchmark 10-year U.S. yield was last 1.896 percent, the lowest in at least 60 years.
The euro was last down 1.6 percent against the dollar at $1.3663, its lowest in 6-1/2 months. The single currency has fallen 5.1 percent in September.Gold slipped after soaring to a record high above $1,900 an ounce earlier this week due to its appeal as both a safe haven and a hedge against inflation. It was last down 0.2 percent at $1,865 an ounce as nervous investors sold the metal on growing concerns its run-up had been overdone.(Reporting by Ryan Vlastelica and Rodrigo Campos in New York; Emelia Sithole-Matarise, Brian Gorman and Neal Armstrong in London; writing by Richard Leong; Editing by Dan Grebler)

Exclusive: Stark to leave ECB over bond-buying row
ReutersBy Alexander Hübner and Andreas Framke | Reuters – SEPT 9,11

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - European Central Bank Executive Board member Juergen Stark is resigning his post in what sources say is a protest against its policy of buying bonds to help troubled euro zone debtor states.A euro zone central bank source said Stark was at angry at being passed over when Bundesbank chief Axel Weber quit earlier this year, clearly unhappy with the ECB bond-buying program, and also felt the departure of ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet next month would mark the end of an era at the ECB.Stark's decision to announce his departure now, rather than in a couple of months, was designed not to make it look like he was resigning because Italian Mario Draghi is succeeding Trichet from November 1, said the source.News of Stark's shock departure highlights the size of the split at the ECB over the bond-buy plan and the extreme tension between its members, who have been at the center of the policy response to the euro zone debt crisis.Stark is one of the most experienced policymakers at the ECB, a young institution facing the impending retirement of Trichet and uncertainty about how it will be led by Draghi, whose country is embroiled in the euro zone debt crisis.Stark and Bundesbank head Jens Weidmann both opposed the ECB's decision last month to reactivate its bond plan following a 19-week pause. The bank decided to buy the bonds of Italy and Spain after they came closer to succumbing to the debt crisis.The ECB has faced sharp criticism in Germany for buying bonds -- a move many here see as taking the bank into the fiscal arena and threatening its core role of fighting inflation.

The ECB confirmed Stark would be the second German policymaker to leave the bank this year after Weber quit in February, also in protest at the bond program.This is remarkable, said Manfred Neumann, emeritus economics professor at Bonn University and former thesis adviser to Weidmann.Stark held the same view of the bond-buying as Axel Weber and the current Bundesbank president. It is a position that all the Germans have. This is a sign of huge problems within the central bank. The Germans clearly have a problem with the direction of the ECB.The ECB said Stark had resigned for personal reasons but two other sources told Reuters it was related to the bond-buying that has rescued Italy and Spain from crisis over the past month.The euro, European and U.S. stock markets fell in response. Bond yield spreads, though, for Europe's struggling periphery were only slightly higher.German Deputy Finance Minister Joerg Asmussen will replace Stark on the ECB's six-member Executive Board, a source familiar with the plan said.Asmussen will be more pragmatic, Bert Ruerup, former head of the wisemen council of economic advisers to the German government told Reuters. I don't think that he will fight as openly. This may calm down when the EFSF gets the power to buy bonds.Asmussen has been a key figure in Germany's policy response to the euro zone debt crisis.The ECB's policy orientation will not be altered by Stark's departure, Austrian ECB policymaker Ewald Nowotny said. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said he expected a German candidate to succeed Stark and that the successor would pursue the same policies of stability as Stark.

TEMPERS FRAY

News of Stark's departure came just a day after Trichet delivered an impassioned defense of the ECB's record and its handling of the euro zone debt crisis.Trichet's emotional response to a question about calls from some in Germany for a return to the Deutschmark suggested tempers were running high at the bank.German politicians immediately leapt on news of Stark's resignation to press for a change of direction at the ECB.His departure is a dramatic alarm signal which shows the ECB must correct its course, said Kurt Lauk, president of the economic council of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats.It is also a clear signal that the ECB must be freed from the role of aid provider that was foisted on it due to bad decisions by politicians,he added.The ECB has been concerned that by buying the sovereign bonds of Italy -- the euro zone's third largest economy -- it is encouraging Rome to slacken efforts to shore up its finances, and has been irritated by flip-flopping over austerity measures.However, Trichet said after the bank's policy meeting on Thursday that the latest decisions by the Italian government meant it was delivering on what it had promised.Stark, 63, has been a member of the ECB's six-member Executive Board -- whose members form the Governing Council along with the 17 euro zone national bank chiefs -- since June 2006.He holds the board's influential economics portfolio, a role that allows him to present a template of the ECB's monetary policy statement that forms a basis for the Governing Council's final view.
The ECB said Stark's successor would be appointed before the end of the year. Stark's term on the board was due to run until May 31, 2014.In addition to Trichet and Stark, Lorenzo Bini Smaghi, another heavyweight ECB board member, is expected to leave the bank this year. Their departures leave the ECB without some of its most experienced policymakers while the euro zone crisis shows no sign of abating.(Additional reporting by Marc Jones, Sakari Suoninen, Daniel Flynn and Noah Barkin; Writing by Paul Carrel; Editing by Ruth Pitchford/Mike Peacock)

U.S. demands action from Europe's strongest at G7
Reuters By Catherine Bremer and Tetsushi Kajimoto | Reuters – SEPT 9,11

MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) - The United States pressed Europe's strongest economies on Friday to give unequivocal financial support to weaker euro zone states to overcome a debt crisis that threatens the world economy.It is completely within the capacity of the stronger members of the euro area to absorb these costs, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said as G7 finance chiefs gathered in Marseille to discuss how to revive a stalling recovery.Those costs would be much, much greater for them and their economies if they sit here and do nothing, and they recognize that, Geithner told Bloomberg Television in comments that appeared aimed primarily at EU economic powerhouse Germany.With markets looking to the Group of Seven major industrial economies for some sign of a policy shift to help faltering growth, a G7 source said the meeting might after all issue a communique, which G7 chair France had said was not planned.Ministers and central bankers were under pressure to calm the biggest confidence crisis in financial markets since the 2007-8 global credit crunch.But a shock announcement that the top German official at the European Central Bank is leaving early in disagreement with the bank's policy of buying euro zone government bonds to support the likes of Italy and Spain laid bare deep rifts over how to manage the debt crisis.The ECB confirmed that chief economist Juergen Stark would retire nearly three years before his term is due to expire. His decision means Bank of Italy governor Mario Draghi will start his term at the ECB helm in November with a mountain to climb to restore its credibility in Germany, Europe's biggest economy.

France has called for a coordinated response from the Group of Seven industrialized nations after mounting anxiety over Europe's debt crisis and the fragility of its banks caused a big fall in world stock markets in recent weeks.Differences between the economic problems facing the euro zone, Britain and the United States -- which unveiled a $447 billion jobs package on Thursday -- are complicating the task though, meaning one-size-fits-all solutions will not work.IMF chief Christine Lagarde said in London before boarding a flight for Marseille that policymakers in advanced economies should use all available tools to boost growth and called for bold action to weather a dangerous new phase of recovery.She also cautioned against too much fiscal consolidation in a climate of sputtering growth.But a G7 source told Reuters a unanimous agreement at the Marseille talks on coordinated monetary easing was unlikely.A source in Brussels has said the G7 would likely agree to keep monetary policy accommodative, slow fiscal consolidation in states where that is possible, and implement structural reforms.Fears the global economy may be in its most difficult period since the collapse of investment bank Lehman Brothers have added significance to Friday's talks but there has been little evidence of the unity of purpose shown in 2008 and 2009.U.S. President Barack Obama's new package of tax cuts and spending could lift U.S. growth by one to three percentage points in 2012 and add more than a million jobs.But in debt-ridden Europe, there is little scope for fiscal stimulus, and where there is some wiggle-room -- in Germany and Britain -- there is no political appetite for it.In an indication of the conflicting positions on policy, Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty told Reuters TV decisive moves were needed to restore market confidence and said slowing fiscal consolidation too much would be foolish.I hope we would all agree we have to stay the course, that we have to go through the pain of fiscal consolidation. It's not easy, it creates stresses in some countries, but it's necessary, we have to get through this rough patch,Flaherty said.G7 finance ministers and central bankers trickled into the sunlit Mediterranean port city of Marseille around lunchtime and talks were due to start at 4:00 p.m. (1400 GMT).A working dinner will be followed by briefings from around 9:15 p.m. local time (1915 GMT) by the French, German, Canadian and Japanese delegations and European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet. The United States plans no briefing.

ASIA AS CONCERNED AS U.S.

With Asian economies deeply worried about the West's debt crisis and slow growth, Japan said it will voice its concern on the euro zone debt crisis and seek support for its right to unilateral action over safe-haven buying pushing up the yen.Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa told reporters in Marseille he hoped the talks would share frank views on the crisis and said it was vital that G7 finance chiefs came up with a firm stance to stabilize the world economy.There are various factors behind the world economy's uncertainty but Europe's debt problem is one major factor. It is important for Europe to tackle its debt problems for its own sake but it would also indirectly bring positive effects on Japan's economy,he said.Finance Minister Jun Azumi said Japan would ask the G7 for its understanding on its intentions to counter yen rises.Lagarde said policymakers must act now, and boldly, giving her blessing to more quantitative easing by central banks and saying the challenge was to find a pace of adjustment that was neither too fast nor too slow.She said countries facing market pressures must push ahead with urgent fiscal consolidation, while there was scope for slower action in countries not at the mercy of market forces.If growth continues to lose momentum, balance sheet problems will worsen, fiscal sustainability will be threatened, and the scope for policies to salvage the recovery will disappear, she said.Decisions by the European and British central banks this week to keep interest rates unchanged accentuated the gloom in Europe but neither indicated that a cut was imminent, while Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave no hint of new stimulus to boost the economy in a keenly awaited speech.Despite speculation about new coordinated forex intervention, a standard final statement remains the most likely outcome, Unicredit said in a research note.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says growth across the G7 could slow to an anemic 0.2 percent in the last quarter of 2011. Its chief economist Pier Carlo Padoan urged the G7 to send a clear signal it is ready to take action if growth slows further.(Additional reporting by Daniel Flynn and Claire Watson in Marseille, John Irish in Paris, Keith Weir in London, David Lawder in Washington and Leika Kihara in Tokyo; Writing by Catherine Bremer, editing by Mike Peacock)

Marseille G7 eyeing communique but no big action
Reuters By Giselda Vagnoni and Daniel Flynn | Reuters – SEPT 9,11

MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) - Group of Seven finance chiefs will likely issue a communique after their talks in southern France, following demand from markets, but there will be no talk of combined market intervention, G7 sources said.Sources from different members of the G7 group of industrialized economies said a final communique was now in the works, after pressure from delegations, despite host country France having planned not to issue one.The statement will voice support for U.S. President Barack Obama's $447 billion jobs plan and for Europe's July 21 decision to beef up the powers of the euro zone's EFSF bailout facility, taking care to present a united front among G7 nations, one source said.Final approval on a communique from finance ministers and central bank heads in the Mediterranean port city of Marseille was still required as the group wrapped up meeting sessions at 6:00 p.m. (1600 GMT) and prepared to head into a working dinner.Friday's meeting took place under heavy pressure to take action to revive flagging economic growth in rich nations and calm the biggest confidence crisis in financial markets since the global credit crunch, with policy options limited by big economic differences between countries.A second source said a communique would likely talk about the global economic slowdown, financial market turmoil and the policy tools different countries could use, but would make no reference to concerted interventions.(Writing by Catherine Bremer)

With credible 9/11 threat, NY mounts major operation
By Mark Hosenball and Phil Stewart | Reuters – SEPT 9,11

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New York police will mount a major counterterrorism operation during Friday's evening rush hour as U.S. officials rush to check credible, but unconfirmed intelligence about a 9/11 anniversary plot, a senior law enforcement official told Reuters.The operation will involve a big show of force which will include officers armed with heavy weapons patrolling subways and stepped up security and bag checks at major subway and commuter train stations, including Grand Central and Pennsylvania station terminals, the official said. Law enforcement agencies in neighboring states were also involved.While the operation had been planned some time ago, the forces and tactics deployed will be stepped up after local and federal authorities received what they described as specific and credible but unconfirmed intelligence about a possible threat to attack the United States by Islamic militants timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, al Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington.Intelligence about the anniversary threat only surfaced during the course of this week and included possible threats of attacks targeting subways or commuter trains or possible car bomb attacks in New York or Washington, U.S. officials said.Vice President Joseph Biden said on ABC's Good Morning America program on Friday morning: We don't have the smoking gun but we do have talk about using a car bomb.One of the officials said the threat is believed to come from militants following an al Qaeda ideology. But it is not certain whether there is a direct connection to what remains of al Qaeda's battered core leadership.

Officials have said that U.S. law enforcement agencies are on the lookout for three possible suspects, though it is unclear how much, if any, precise information regarding the suspects' identities is available to U.S. authorities.We have to be concerned. Terrorism is theater and this is a stage, right now probably the world's biggest stage, said New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.We have the opening of the 9/11 memorial, the president and two former presidents here, obviously a lot of high profile public officials will be here, so we have to be concerned,Kelly told CNN.On Thursday, President Barack Obama ordered a redoubling of U.S. counterterrorism efforts in the face of a "credible but unconfirmed" threat before the September 11 attacks anniversary.

SUSPECTS LINKED TO AL QAEDA

U.S. officials, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said the threat involved Washington and New York City, which were targeted in al Qaeda attacks a decade ago this Sunday that killed nearly 3,000 people.A counterterrorism official said intelligence pointed to possible car bomb attacks and added the threat information came from Pakistan's tribal areas. A manhunt was under way for two or three suspects, who one person familiar with the matter said were suspected of having links to al Qaeda.But U.S. officials used strong caveats when discussing the threat information privately, with a national security official cautioning that experts thought the threat would ultimately not check out.New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg stressed at a news conference on Friday that the threat had not been corroborated, even as he announced heightened security measures some of which you may notice, some of which you may not notice.Bloomberg asked citizens to go about their daily routines as usual but report any suspicious or dangerous activity. Over the next three days we should all keep our eyes wide open.The White House said Obama was briefed on specific threat information on Thursday morning, and said the government had already heightened security before the anniversary.

BACK TO BIN LADEN COMPOUND

Documents discovered in Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, after he was killed in a raid in May by Navy SEALs, highlighted his persistent interest in attacking the United States around the anniversary of the 2001 attacks. But it is unclear if the plans ever evolved beyond aspiration.As we know from the intelligence gathered following the Osama bin Laden raid, al Qaeda has showed an interest in important dates and anniversaries, such as 9/11, said Jan Fedarcyk with the FBI's New York field office.Kelly announced measures including more bag inspections on the subway, more bomb-sniffing dogs on patrol and increased deployment of radiation monitoring equipment.There will be increased focus on tunnels and bridges and infrastructure in general, as well as landmark locations, houses of worship and government buildings, he said.A law-enforcement source played down an ABC News report about missing rental trucks -- saying the vehicles had been recovered and there was no connection to terrorism.(Additional reporting by Jeremy Pelofsky, Alister Bull and JoAnne Allen in Washington and Michelle Nichols in New York; editing by Anthony Boadle)

Clinton: al Qaeda behind unconfirmed threat to U.S.
Reuters By Sandra Maler | Reuters – SEPT 9,11

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday said that al Qaeda was behind a specific, credible but unconfirmed report of a threat to harm Americans, notably in New York and Washington.We are meeting here in New York ... with the news last night of a specific, credible but unconfirmed report that al Qaeda again is seeking to harm Americans and in particular to target New York and Washington, Clinton said in a speech.President Barack Obama on Thursday ordered a redoubling of counter-terrorism efforts in the face of the threat ahead of Sunday's 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, U.S. officials said.In a speech ahead of the anniversary, Clinton said it was impossible to foil every plot and that al Qaeda was still capable of regional and international attacks.However, she said Washington would wage a relentless campaign against it and, later this month, would set up Global Counter-Terrorism Forum to gather officials to identify threats, devise solutions and share expertise.The group, to be co-chaired by the United States and Turkey, will also include Algeria, Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Denmark, Egypt, the European Union, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Morocco, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom, the State Department said.(Editing by Sandra Maler)

Analysis: Turkey to complicate life for Israel, but avoid war Reuters By Crispian Balmer | Reuters – SEPT 9,11

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Turkey's threat to send warships to protect aid convoys to Gaza is unlikely to trigger conflict with Israel, but the dramatic deterioration in relations between the one-time allies could jeopardize Israeli energy ambitions.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan raised the stakes with Israel on Thursday, saying he would dispatch the navy to escort any future flotillas to Gaza and prevent a repeat of an Israeli raid last year that killed nine Turks.Ankara has already downgraded diplomatic relations with Israel and halted defense trade following the Jewish state's confirmation last week that it would not apologize for the deadly 2010 assault on a boat challenging its Gaza blockade.Despite the intensifying rhetoric, it seems hard to believe that the region's two biggest military powers, both important allies of the United States, would face off over the Palestinian enclave Gaza, which is ruled by the Islamist group Hamas.It won't turn into a military confrontation, because the Turks aren't stupid. It's absurd to think a NATO country would get into a military confrontation with Israel, said Gad Shimron, a retired Mossad officer and defense expert.By the same token, it seems unlikely that Erdogan will let the matter drop, with many analysts seeing his repeated criticism of Israel as a calculated bid to boost his standing in the Arab world and assume a dominant role in the Middle East.Tellingly, he made his comments to Al Jazeera, the pan-Arabic television station, upping the ante just days before he is due to visit a trio of Arab countries, including Egypt, which has itself fallen out with Israel in recent weeks.Erdogan thinks the easy target is Israel, but he doesn't know if it will pay off. He is taking a gamble, said Yossi Shain, a professor at both Tel Aviv University and Georgetown University in Washington.He wants to be the champion of the Arab and Islamic world, but it is not clear whether he can.

DISPUTED GAS FIELDS

Turkey has a much larger navy than Israel but would have to think twice about any military brinkmanship given the imposing strength of the Israeli air force.Keep in mind that were Israel to initiate an interception, say against a Turkish bid to sail on Gaza, it would have the advantage of choosing the time, place and deployment strength,a former Israeli admiral told Reuters, declining to be named because of the sensitivity of the subject.Indicating there is no imminent danger of a clash, the charity that organised last year's convoy to the Gaza Strip said on Friday it had no plans for now for another flotilla.Regardless of that, Turkey has also said it will make its presence felt in the eastern Mediterranean at a time when Israel is looking to exploit recently discovered gas fields off its coasts and hook up with Cyprus to build energy facilities.Turkey does not recognize Cyprus's Greek Cypriot government, while Lebanon has accused Israel of breaking international law by exploring for gas without an agreement between the two countries -- which are formally at war -- on their maritime border. Israel denies this.A heavy Turkish naval presence near the disputed fields could undoubtedly cause Israel headaches, just as it thought that it had finally overcome its longstanding energy shortages.This is a feasible and significantly troubling prospect. I imagine it would compromise foreign investment in those fields, the former admiral said.Israel has sought to play down the diplomatic crisis, with officials pointing out that the two countries had already overcome previous rows, such as in 1980 when Turkey curbed ties to protest at Israel's annexation of Arab East Jerusalem.But back then, Turkey was a much poorer nation than it is today, and there were very few cultural, sporting or business links between the two countries.The implications of a falling-out today are much more significant, with trade between Turkey and Israel worth $3.5 billion last year, helping keep thousands of people in work.Turkey is a very strong country today and this is very serious situation,said Alon Liel, the head of the Israeli diplomatic mission in Turkey from 1981 to 1983 and a former director general of the Foreign Ministry.

LOSING FRIENDS

Although Turkey is an undoubted regional power, it has suffered a difficult few months due to the Arab uprisings.It has had to retool its foreign policy in Syria and Libya, losing old allies in the process, and has distanced itself with Iran. Erdogan is clearly trying to regain the initiative and will have to be careful not to push things too far.He has painted Turkey into a very tight corner, said Gareth Jenkins, an Istanbul-based security analyst.Turkey is squandering the moral capital it had gained after the (2010 flotilla) incident, in which international public opinion sided with Turkey. But the international community will be very hostile.Washington has stayed largely quiet over the past week, urging reconciliation between the two parties without publicly taking sides. However, much more Turkish saber-rattling is sure to fire up passions, with the U.S. Congress fiercely pro-Israel.(Erdogan) is about to get a tough response from Washington. They are watching him and letting him play, but the moment is coming, said Shain, who is working in the United States.Erdogan may well be calculating that Washington cannot afford to imperil relations with Turkey at such crucial moment for the Middle East, but as with his fight with Israel, that is a risky bet to take.(Additional reporting by Dan Williams in Jerusalem and Ibon Villelabeitia in Ankara; Editing by Mark Heinrich)

Israel wary at harsh Turk naval challenge
Reuters By Dan Williams | Reuters – SEPT 9,11

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel will keep blockading Gaza in the face of Turkey's unprecedented naval challenge and is prepared for escalation though it seeks to calm the waters with its ex-ally, officials said on Friday.Deepening a crisis over Israel's killing last year of nine of their citizens aboard an aid flotilla that tried to reach the Palestinian enclave, the Turks vowed on Thursday to assign warships to escort such convoys in the future.The prospect of a showdown at sea with Turkey, a NATO power and fellow U.S. strategic partner in the region, rattled Israelis already long on edge given Arab political upheaval and Iran's nuclear program.Breaking an almost 24-hour-long silence on the warships announcement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Israeli policy was and remains the prevention of deterioration in our ties with Turkey and easing the tensions between the countries.The prime minister and cabinet discussed the various theoretical possibilities should escalation occur. But a decision on such will be made only if and when required.Confrontation did not appear imminent after the IHH, a Turkish Islamist charity that owned the Mavi Marmara cruise ship stormed by Israeli marines on May 31, 2010, said in Istanbul it had no plan for now to mount another Gaza mission.But Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan also pledged to boost naval patrols around easter Mediterranean gas fields being developed by Israel, a potential blow to the Netanyahu government's quest for energy independence.The Obama administration appealed for rapprochement.We are encouraging both countries to find a way to work together to overcome their differences and restore at least some of the friendship that they previously had,U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro told Israel Radio.

SABER-RATTLING

They had tried to mend fences ahead of a U.N. report last week that deemed the blockade a legal means to stem the flow of arms to Gaza's governing Hamas and other Palestinian militants. Israel formally declared it during a 2008-2009 war with Hamas.
Turkey argues that the naval closure amounts to illegal collective punishment of Gaza's impoverished 1.5 million Palestinians and conditioned reconciliation on it being lifted.There is no intent to review the blockade as long as Hamas amasses missiles. This is a measure consistent with international law, said Yigal Palmor, spokesman for Israel's Foreign Ministry.The U.N. inquiry also called Israeli marines' gunfire in brawls aboard the Mavi Marmara excessive and unreasonable and the deaths caused unacceptable.Israel voiced regret but rejected Ankara's demand for a formal apology and compensation.While Turkey's navy outclasses Israel's, the latter could make use of its advanced air force in any coastal face-off. Yet analysts saw them coming to blows as unlikely. [nL5E7K91B2]The things Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan said are harsh and serious, but I don't think it would be right to get into any verbal saber-rattling with him, Netanyahu deputy Dan Meridor told Israel's Army Radio. Our silence is the best response. I hope this phenomenon will pass.Erdogan's forceful comments about the Eastern Mediterranean also prompted a warning from the European Union not to threaten EU-member Cyprus.Turkey is the only country that recognizes a separate Turkish-run state in Cyprus's northern third, which it invaded in 1974 in response to a Greek-inspired coup.You know that Israel has begun to declare that it has the right to act in exclusive economic areas in the Mediterranean, Erdogan said.

You will see that it will not be the owner of this right, because Turkey, as the guarantor of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, has taken steps in the area, and it will be decisive and holding fast to the right to monitor international waters in the east Mediterranean.EU spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic said: The EU urges Turkey to refrain from any kinds of threats, sources of friction that could negatively affect good neighborly relations and the peaceful settlement of border disputes.Any dispute between Turkey and Israel is unlikely to embroil NATO, which operates on the basis of unanimous decisions, an official of the Western alliance said in Brussels.It's literally impossible for NATO to take any action that's not agreed by all 28 allies, the official said.(Writing by Dan Williams; Additional reporting by Ari Rabinovitch in Jerusalem, Seltem Iyigunl and Ibon Villelabeitia in Istanbul and David Brunnstrom in Brussels)

UN chief says Palestinian statehood long overdue
AFP – SEPT 9,11

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Palestinian statehood was long overdue, a day after its leadership launched a campaign to become the world body's 194th member state.The two state vision where Israel and Palestinians can live... side by side in peace and security -- that is a still a valid vision and I fully support it, he told reporters in Canberra.And I support also the statehood of Palestinians; an independent, sovereign state of Palestine. It has been long overdue.
But... the recognition of a state is something to be determined by the member states,he added.It is not by the Secretary General so I leave it to the member states to decide to recognise or not to recognise.Ban, who has been in Australia as part of a sweeping Pacific tour which has taken him to New Zealand, the Solomon Islands and Kirabati, called for meaningful negotiations to resolve the issue.The United Nations leader's comments came after Palestinians Thursday launched their campaign to join the UN.Their National Campaign for Palestine: State 194 is part of the build-up to September 20, when president Mahmud Abbas is expected to submit a formal request that the UN accept Palestine as a member.However, Washington has already confirmed it would veto any bid, a move also opposed by Israel.The official Palestinian campaign of support for the bid got under way with about 100 people marching to UN headquarters in the West Bank Thursday to hand a letter to the UN representative asking that Ban support them.If the bid is vetoed in the Security Council, the Palestinians plan to turn to the General Assembly where they are expected to easily win the votes needed to upgrade their representation from observer body to non-member state.

US will veto Palestinian statehood bid at UN
AP – SEPT 9,11

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration says it will veto any bid by the Palestinians to seek statehood recognition at the U.N. Security Council.The administration had long said it opposed such a unilateral move by the Palestinians. The U.S. has been working to prevent a Palestinian resolution from coming before the council.Until now, Washington had not explicitly said it would use its veto to prevent passage. On Thursday, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that if the issue comes to a vote in the Security Council, the U.S. will veto it.Israel opposes the statehood push as well.Nuland says the U.S. view is that the Palestinian effort is misguided and that statehood should come only as a result of negotiations with Israel.

Palestinians officially launch statehood campaign
AP By MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH - Associated Press | AP – Thu, Sep 8, 2011

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — The Palestinians on Thursday officially launched their campaign to join the United Nations as a full member state, saying they would stage a series of peaceful events in the run-up to the annual gathering of the U.N. General Assembly later this month.Some 100 Palestinian officials and activists gathered at the U.N. offices in Ramallah for a short ceremony, where they announced their plans in a letter addressed to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.The letter urges Ban to add his moral voice in support of the Palestinian people.Families of the tens of thousands of victims of Israeli occupation, including those martyred, wounded and imprisoned, and countless others who were expelled from their homes or lost their homes and their property, hope that you will exert all possible efforts toward the achievement of the Palestinian people's just demands, it says.The letter was handed over by Latifa Abu Hmeid, a 70-year-old woman who lost one son in fighting with Israel and has seven other sons in Israeli prisons because of alleged militant activities.Officials said Abu Hmeid was selected to deliver the document because her personal story reflects the plight of the Palestinians. A resident of a West Bank refugee camp, her house has been twice demolished by Israeli authorities as punishment for her sons' activities, they said.

The Palestinians have decided to turn to the U.N. to recognize their independence after two decades of unsuccessful peace efforts with Israel. The latest round of talks broke down a year ago.The campaign seeks recognition of an independent Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem — areas captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. Israel rejects a return to its 1967 lines.While any U.N. vote will be largely symbolic, the Palestinians believe a strong international endorsement will boost their position and put pressure on Israel should negotiations resume. Israel has been lobbying the international community to oppose the vote, saying peace can only be achieved through negotiations.The letter says the campaign will include a series of peaceful events in various international cities and capitals leading up to the Sept. 21 opening of the General Assembly. Two days later, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will address the gathering in New York and ask for admission to the United Nations.It remains unclear whether the Palestinians will turn to the Security Council or the General Assembly.The Council needs nine votes out of 15 and no veto from any of its permanent members to pass a decision. However, the United States, which opposes the Palestinian bid, is expected to veto any request in the Council.

The Palestinians could then seek admission as a nonmember state of the General Assembly, like the Vatican.Approval in the Assembly, which is dominated by developing nations sympathetic to the Palestinians, is assured. But the vote would not be legally binding. The Palestinians say they will continue their campaign until they gain full U.N. membership.Although the Palestinians say their campaign will be peaceful, Israeli military officials fear that mass demonstrations in the West Bank could turn violent.Security forces have been preparing for the possibility of violence, conducting exercises and stockpiling what they say is non-lethal riot-control equipment like tear gas, water cannons and stun grenades.Israeli West Bank settlers, meanwhile, came under suspicion Thursday in the latest of a string of attacks against Palestinians and the Israeli military in the West Bank.Two cars were torched and Hebrew-language slogans were spray-painted on a mosque in the Nablus area, and three dozen trees were uprooted from Palestinian farmland in the same area, Israeli and Palestinian officials said. The Israeli military said it was investigating.No one claimed responsibility for the acts, but settlers have carried out similar acts before, in some cases in retaliation for Israeli government actions against settlers, a practice they call price tag. Earlier this week, a West Bank mosque was set afire.Settlers are also suspected of having infiltrated an Israeli military base early Wednesday, smashing windows, slashing the tires of about a dozen vehicles and spray-painting graffiti alluding to the demolition of three homes in an unauthorized settler outpost earlier this week.Separately, the military demolished five West Bank shacks and three water cisterns it said Palestinians built without authorization in the West Bank. U.N. officials said 20 people were left homeless.
The demolitions occurred days after military officials had promised to halt the practice, saying the policy was not equally enforced in Jewish settlements. Military officials did not return messages.

Israel deploys drones over Egyptian border
By DANIELLA CHESLOW - Associated Press | AP – Thu, Sep 8, 2011

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — A senior Israeli military official says the air force has deployed a special unit of unmanned surveillance aircraft along its long, porous border with Egypt after militants crossed the frontier and killed eight Israelis last month.The official says the drones are monitoring both sides of the 150-mile (250-kilometer) border, though the aircraft are flying only in Israeli airspace. In the wake of the attack, Israel also has sent more troops along the border.Officials have grown increasingly concerned about the security situation in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula following the ouster of longtime Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in February.The official spoke on condition of anonymity under military guidelines.Israel, along with the United States, is a world leader in drone technology.

Israel ready to free 1,000 prisoners for Shalit: father AFP – SEPT 9,11

Israel remains ready to free 1,000 Palestinian prisoners for Gilad Shalit, according to the captive soldier's father who demanded Thursday that any UN vote on Palestinian statehood be tied to his release.Noam Shalit indicated that many Palestinian detainees were only being held by Israel because of the dispute with Hamas over his son, now 25, who was grabbed by gunmen from Hamas and two other militant groups on June 25, 2006.Israel is ready to release 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange of my son. So Israel is not asking for Gilad for free, Noam Shalit told reporters at the end of a visit to the United Nations to lobby ambassadors.The prisoner exchange proposal was made by German mediators to Israel and Hamas in February, but Noam Shalit said the Palestinian side rejected this.After a deal will be carried out, hopefully very soon, Israel will be happy to free many other Palestinian prisoners that from my point of view are not relevant any more, the father added in an indication of the importance that Israel has put on the soldier's release.The captivity of Gilad prevents the release of many, many Palestinian prisoners unfortunately, he said.The father said he had spoken to the ambassadors of several countries at the UN to urge that any vote on Palestinian statehood at the UN General Assembly include a condition that Gilad Shilat be released.The Palestinian leadership has said it will go to the UN Security Council or General Assembly this month to see a vote giving formal membership to a Palestinian state, or super observer status.
