The 26 terrorists that Israel freed as a “gesture” to the Palestinian Authority were taken out of the Ayalon Prison on Tuesday evening and were taken to the checkpoints leading into Gaza and the PA-assigned areas of Judea and Samaria.
As of 1:25 a.m., the 11 terrorists who were released to Ramallah arrived at their destination. They were driven out of Israel's Ofer prison, adjacent to the Beitunia crossing, and then taken to Ramallah in four PA vehicles, according to AFP.Shortly afterwards, the remaining 15 terrorists crossed through Erez crossing and entered Gaza.AFP reported that the terrorists who were released to Ramallah meet senior PA officials and were then transferred to a bus which took them to the Muqataa compound of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas for a welcoming ceremony.Kol Yisrael radio reported that the celebrations in Gaza will be toned down, as the Hamas terrorist group which controls the region objects to the peace talks between the PA and Israel.Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar said on Monday that the talks with Israel are “futile” and are “purely a means for the occupation (Israel) to look good to the international community.”Israel chose to release the terrorists late at night, hoping this will prevent a repeat of the kinds of jubilant scenes usually associated with such releases, as murderers celebrate their crimes and imminent release by cheering, laughing and flashing victory signs. Officials in the Palestinian Authority expressed outrage at Israel's decision to release the terrorists late at night.Meanwhile, several government ministers called for the release to be cancelled, after it was revealed on Monday that, contrary to government claims that the murderers being freed committed their acts before the signing of the Oslo accords, at least four of them carried out their crimes after the accords were signed on the White House lawn, on September 13, 1993.Housing Minister Uri Ariel (Bayit Yehudi) said on Tuesday evening that "at the cabinet meeting we were told that all the terrorists who will be freed committed the murders before the Oslo accords. But it turns out that this is not true. Therefore, I demand that the release be stopped and the issue be discussed by the government."
The Deputy Minister of Religious Services, Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan, also of the Bayit Yehudi party, called on his Facebook page to delay the release of the terrorists.Rabbi Ben-Dahan said that the ministers who decided on the release exceeded their authority and said that the Supreme Court should look at the issue again.

Israel’s hopes that freeing 26 terrorists in the middle of the night would tone down the celebrations in the Palestinian Authority were quickly dashed on Tuesday night.
As the 11 terrorists who were freed to Ramallah arrived at their destination, they were welcomed by thousands of cheering PA Arabs and were escorted to the Muqataa compound, where they were greeted by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas himself."This is the first group," Abbas told the crowd at the official welcoming ceremony, according to AFP."We shall continue until we free all the prisoners from Israeli jails," he added.“Allah willing, all will return to us soon. We say to all prisoners in the jails: We will not rest until you are all with us," Abbas declared.At the same time, 15 other terrorists returned to their homes in Gaza. Kol Yisrael radio reported that the celebrations in Gaza will be toned down, if any take place at all, as the Hamas terrorist group which controls the region objects to the peace talks between the PA and Israel.Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar said on Monday that the talks with Israel are “futile” and are “purely a means for the occupation (Israel) to look good to the international community.”The 26 terrorists who were released on Tuesday are the first group out of 104 terrorists that Israel agreed to release as a gesture to Abbas, in exchange for him resuming peace talks.Negotiators on behalf of both sides are scheduled to meet in Jerusalem on Wednesday.On Tuesday the Maariv daily newspaper reported that the ministers on the committee that voted to release the 26 terrorists ignored recommendations from the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service.The Shin Bet had provided a list of 40 terrorists from which the ministers were to choose the terrorists they wished to release. The list was compiled with the goal of avoiding freeing terrorists who would pose a particularly high threat to Israelis.However, the committee led by Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon reportedly decided to replace some names on the list it was given by the Shin Bet with other terrorists’ names, due to “Israel’s wish to strengthen the status of” Abbas.

Kerry Warned Netanyahu: If Talks Fail, Israel Will be Isolated

John Kerry warned that if his latest peace mission is unsuccessful, Israel will be isolated, according to columnist Jeffrey Goldberg.-By Elad Benari-First Publish: 8/14/2013, 4:46 AM-Israelnationalnews

Kerry and Netanyahu
Kerry and Netanyahu-Flash 90
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry recently warned Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that if his latest peace mission is unsuccessful, Israel will be isolated.
According to Bloomberg View columnist Jeffrey Goldberg, Kerry capitalized on Israel’s anxiety over the European Union’s new guidelines which boycott Israeli entities that operate from beyond the 1949 Armistice Line.Kerry, according to Goldberg's latest column, has warned Netanyahu in recent weeks that if the current peace talks bear no fruit, Israel may soon be facing an international delegitimization campaign -- in his words -- "on steroids."Anonymous officials cited by Goldberg said that Kerry thinks the one thing Netanyahu fears as much as Iran's nuclear program is the growing power of the international movement that seeks to isolate, scapegoat and demonize his country.“Although Netanyahu is worried that the campaign to make Israel appear to be an illegitimate state could hurt the country's robust economy, he is said to be even more worried that this campaign will erode Israel's ability to defend itself,” wrote Goldberg.“The theory is simple: A country seen as illegitimate, not only by the powerful Arab lobby at the United Nations but also by Western powers, will have little standing if it is forced to retaliate against sustained attacks from groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, both of which remain committed to Israel's extermination. Netanyahu thinks that the campaign to delegitimize Israel could force Western powers to rein in Israel, or at the very least, rush to condemn it before it has the chance to defend itself,” he added.The majority of Israelis, he noted, “are sensible, and they know, as Netanyahu knows, that Israel can't exist in an entirely friendless world. Partly because of the actions of the EU, Netanyahu is listening to Kerry's warnings with newly open ears.”
Goldberg is considered close to President Barack Obama. Several days before the last Israeli election, Goldberg wrote that Obama "has become convinced that Netanyahu is so captive to the settler lobby, and so uninterested in making anything more than the slightest conciliatory gesture toward Palestinian moderates, that an investment of presidential interest in the peace process wouldn’t be a wise use of his time."
In his latest column, Goldberg was critical of Netanyahu when he wrote that “the Netanyahu government's self-destructive West Bank settlement program continues apace (though the latest round of construction is scheduled to take place on territory that would almost certainly be granted to Israel in final-status talks).”

Kerry says PM warned him and Abbas about new settlement projects

Netanyahu ‘was completely upfront’ about additional building ‘in places that would not affect peace map,’ US secretary of state reveals

August 14, 2013, 7:41 am 7-the times of israel

Trying to salvage the US-brokered peace talks, Kerry spoke to reporters Tuesday while on a trip to Brazil and said that although it would be better if Israel didn’t make such announcements during the peace talks, he did not think they would threaten the second round of talks, set for Wednesday in Jerusalem. He said he had spoken by telephone to Netanyahu, and that the prime minister had reached out to Abbas as well. 
The second round of talks between the sides were due to resume in Jerusalem later Wednesday, hours after a first group of 26 Palestinian prisoners were released late Tuesday as a gesture by Israel to enable the resumption of talks.“Prime Minister Netanyahu was completely upfront with us and with President Abbas that he would be announcing some additional building that will take place, in places that would not affect the peace map,” Kerry said at the press conference.“He has specifically agreed not to disturb what might be the potential for peace going forward,” he said, referring to land that is viewed as potentially becoming part of the future Palestinian state. ”We still believe it would be better not to be doing it,” he added, “but there are realities of life in Israel that have to be taken into account here.”The Palestinians have publicly, for their part, admonished Israel for approving the construction plans, saying it showed Israel’s lack of sincerity in intending to make compromises.A diplomatic source said Monday that Israel secretly authorized construction of 900 new housing units in East Jerusalem.The Housing Ministry later confirmed that additional permits for housing construction had indeed been issued. The new units will be built south of the West Bank Palestinian village of Beit Jala.The news came a day after the Housing Ministry approved the construction of 1,200 apartments in settlement blocs and Jerusalem neighborhoods beyond the Green Line.“We will continue issuing tenders for construction in Jerusalem and the settlement blocs,” the source said.The Palestinians have maintained that the announcements represent a breach of trust in the negotiations, adding that they risk killing talks before they begin.“Settlement expansion goes against the US administration’s pledges and threatens to cause the negotiations’ collapse,” Yasser Abed Rabbo, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, told AFP on Tuesday. “This settlement expansion is unprecedented. It threatens to make talks fail even before they’ve started.”

Israel ignores EU and US, piles on settlements

Today @ 09:25 AUG 14,13
BRUSSELS - Israel has said it will build 942 more homes for Jewish settlers on occupied land in the teeth of US, EU and Palestinian criticism.The announcement, on Tuesday (13 August), comes after it said on Sunday it will build 1,187 new homes.Its housing minister, Uri Ariel, added on Israeli radio on Wednesday morning: "We are going to construct thousands of settlements this year in Judea-Samaria [the occupied West Bank]. No one can dictate to us where we can build or not."The developments come as Palestinian and Israeli negotiators are to meet in Jerusalem on Wednesday for a new round of peace talks.A senior official in the the Palestinian Liberation Organisation, Yasser Abed Rabbo, said the settlements "threaten to provoke the collapse of the negotiations," just as they did in 2010.An official in Hamas, a Palestinian group which holds sway in Gaza, Mahmoud al-Zahar, said the talks are "futile."The US, the main sponsor of the peace process, also criticised Israel.Secretary of state John Kerry told press while visiting Brazil on Tuesday the settlements are "illegitimate."He noted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told him the new homes will be built on land which is likely to be swapped with the Palestinians for other territory in any final deal.
"We still believe it would be better not to be doing it, but there are realities within life in Israel that also have to be taken into account," Kerry said.A spokesman for the EU foreign service, Michael Mann, this week described the settlements as "illegal."Some EU officials believe Israel has no intention of finalising borders because it wants to keep expanding.Last month, the Union blocked funding for Israeli firms which operate beyond EU-recognised borders.The new rules oblige Israel to sign territorial clauses in funding agreements which stipulate where Israeli sovereignty ends.Israeli and EU officials are to meet in Tel Aviv also on Wednesday to discuss whether Israel will take part in Horizon 2020, the EU's multi-billion-euro research programme, in light of the new restrictions.Israeli paper the Jerusalem Post said Israel's top delegate, Irit Ben-Abba, will tell the EU the territoriality clause is unacceptable.But Israeli daily Haaretz says the US backs the EU initiative.An Israeli official told the paper that when Israel's ambassador to the EU, David Walzer, met with a senior EU official, Helga Schmid, in Brussels last week, she told him: "You should know that we received support for the new guidelines on the settlements from all the European Union's member states … We're also receiving tacit support from the American administration."For their part, several members of the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists (IAJLJ), a Tel-Aviv-based NGO, have signed a petition telling the EU its new rules are wrong.IAJLJ president, Irit Kohn, told EUobserver they did it in their personal capacity because the NGO does not do politics.She noted, also in her personal capacity, that Europeans should not underestimate the "pain" caused to families of Israeli victims by Israel's release, on Tuesday, of 26 Palestinian prisoners as part of the peace process.She added that average Israeli people feel the "whole world is against us" and that "Palestinians and Arab states just want to wipe out Israel."A former Israeli official, who asked not to be named, told this website: "No one believes anything good will come from the negotiations. So we are doing what we really believe in: Building settlements and preventing the creation of a Palestinian state."

Peace talks resuming following prisoner release

Despite pessimism on both sides, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators meet in the capital for second round of negotiations

August 14, 2013, 9:49 am 3-The Times of Israel
Meanwhile, Shtayyeh criticized Housing and Construction Minister Uri Ariel’s announcement on Sunday of the construction of 1,187 new housing units in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.Israel’s move proved “it wasn’t serious about negotiations” and was instead trying “to topple the foundations of the solution, which is establishing a Palestinian state in the ’67 borders,” he said, according to a report from Israel Radio.Even before the announcement of the construction plans, Erekat had already said in an interview with Reuters this week that the settlements could force him and his team “to leave the negotiating table.”“If the Israeli government believes that every week they’re going to cross a red line by settlement activity, if they go with this behavior, what they’re advertising is the unsustainability of the negotiations,” Erekat said.On Tuesday, the Housing Ministry confirmed that it had secretly approved a further 900 housing units in East Jerusalem, scrambling the US secretary of state to play down the significance of the construction plans that, he said, the Palestinians were well aware of in advance.Trying to salvage the US-brokered peace talks, Kerry spoke Tuesday to reporters while on a trip to Brazil and said that although it would be better if Israel didn’t make such announcements during the peace talks, he did not think they would threaten the second round of talks. Kerry revealed Tuesday night that Netanyahu told him and Abbas in advance of Israel’s intention to announce additional building “in places that would not affect the peace map.”AP contribued to this report.

MK Danon: Is Tzipi Livni our Leader?

Deputy defense minister points to internal Likud opposition to decision to release terrorists.

Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon (Likud) said Wednesday morning that there is internal opposition within Likud to the release of terrorist prisoners as “gestures” toward the Palestinian Authority (PA).
"There is no doubt that this is a sad day for every citizen in Israel, who sees terrorist murderers being released and celebrating,” Danon told Voice of Israel public radio."The decision is wrong, morally,” he explained. “The message that is being delivered is that we release terrorists in return for nothing. What have we received in return for the release? The smile on the face of [Justice] Minister Tzipi Livni and Secretary of State John Kerry? The message that the next generation of terrorists gets is that no matter what you do, in the end, you will be released.”"When we released Gilad Shalit,” said Danon, “we received something in return. We got Gilad back at home. But we all know where the negotiations are leading – nowehere. The same terrorists who are being released will continue to incite, and that is why I oppose the move.”When the interviewer, Yaakov Ahimeir, asked him what he was doing in the very same government that carried out this move, Danon said: “There are numerous voices within Likud that do not like this direction, and are certainly examining where we are going."I intend to fight this,” he said. “We will do this in any way needed. There are many good people in Likud who will not allow Tzipi Livni to lead us. This will not happen on our watch.”
Danon said that we are facing nine months of negotiations, at the end of which “we will see where we are heading – or being led.” He observed that the U.S. Mediator, Martin Indyk, the PA negotiator, Saeb Erekat, and the Israeli representative, Livni, are not very far apart, in terms of how they see the “two state solution.”
"If the agreement that is reached will be similar to the one that Livni created with Ehud Olmert at the time – I am telling you, an agreement like that will not receive a majority,” he vowed.Livni, who head Hatnua, served as foreign minister under then-prime minister Ehud Olmert, when both she and Olmert were members of Kadima. After the Annapolis Conference in 2007, Livni conducted talks with PA negotiator, Ahmed Qaria, while Olmert conducted talks with PA head Mahmoud Abbas. These talks reportedly were not far from achieving consensus when Olmert announced his resignation from the post of prime minister.

IDF launches airstrike after Gaza rockets target Israel

Air force hits concealed rocket launchers hours after projectiles from the Strip fired into Israel

August 14, 2013, 5:56 am 7-the times of israel

Rocket fire at Israel, once a daily occurrence, has mostly tailed off since Israel’s mini-war with Hamas in November.The fire coincided with the release of 26 Palestinian prisoners, 15 of them to Gaza, as Israel and the Palestinians resumed long-dormant peace talks.Israel’s Army Radio reported that some of the sirens in Israel might have been triggered by fireworks set off near the Israel-Gaza border by Palestinians celebrating the imminent return of the 15 prisoners to the strip.Hamas, which controls the Strip, has rejected the talks, which are being managed by the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority and mediated by the United States. The sides were expected to meet Wednesday in Jerusalem.
