Hamas will endorse two-state deal, Fatah leaders assert

West Bank officials returning from Gaza say Islamist rulers will back accord with Israel, despite statements to the contrary

By Elhanan Miller February 17, 2014, 1:58 pm 8-The Times of Israel

Even as a top Hamas official warned Monday against Palestinian acceptance of an American “framework” peace agreement, West Bank leaders were asserting that the Islamist rulers of the Gaza Strip would in fact back a peace deal with Israel based on “national principles.”Hamas’s deputy political bureau chief, Moussa Abu Marzouk, called the anticipated American document “very dangerous,” saying it would decimate the Palestinian cause through the final status issues.“I believe that those who turned to negotiations despite [the objection] of all [Palestinian] factions, the PLO’s Executive Committee and many members of Fatah, will not hesitate to sign an agreement despite all of the above,” Abu Marzouk told Hamas’s Al-Resalah newspaper.

Nevertheless, PA President Mahmoud Abbas expressed confidence during a speech to Israeli students and activists in Ramallah Sunday that Hamas would back an agreement with Israel on a two-state solution.

That position was reiterated by Fatah officials present in the hall during Abbas’s speech. Asked whether Hamas would endorse an agreement with Israel, Azzam Al-Ahmad, Fatah’s chief negotiator with Hamas, was unhesitating.“Of course they’ll join, why wouldn’t they?” he said. “They will be obligated by the decisions of the Palestinian leadership. I am confident of this. In my opinion, the real impediment to peace is not Hamas but [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and the extremist right-wing government in Israel.”

Al-Ahmad pointed out that Hamas’s political leader, Khaled Mashaal, accepted the two-state principle in the reconciliation agreement signed with Fatah in Cairo in 2011.“One of the issues we agreed on was the right of the Palestinian people to a state on the June 4, 1967, borders,” he said. “Mashaal declared this publicly during his speech at the signing ceremony on May 4, 2011.”The acceptance of a two-state outcome, Al-Ahmad continued, was reaffirmed by West Bank Hamas official Hassan Youssef, recently released from an Israeli prison, in an interview with Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia earlier this month.With regard to Fatah-Hamas reconciliation talks, Al-Ahmad was less optimistic. He said that Hamas had agreed to hold elections six months after the formation of a unity government headed by Abbas, but was reluctant to implement the agreement on the ground.“After Hamas’s agreement [to elections within six months] I was told to wait. I called [Hamas Prime Minister Ismail] Haniyeh four times and never heard back from him,” Al-Ahmad told The Times of Israel.Fatah Central Committee member Mohammed Al-Madani, who returned last week from talks with Hamas in Gaza, said attitudes in the Strip have changed dramatically amid political turmoil in Egypt since the ouster of Muslim Brotherhood president Mohammed Morsi on July 3, 2013.“I think things now are better than they were in the past. There is a positive understanding among the Hamas leadership; their positions have changed on many issues,” Al-Madani told The Times of Israel.

Munib Al-Masri, a Palestinian billionaire and political independent, returned from talks with Hamas’s leadership in Gaza earlier this month confident that the Islamic movement was behind the two-state paradigm based on the “Palestinian principles” of a state on the 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital.“Not only Ismail Haniyeh told me this, but the entire Hamas leadership,” Al-Masri told The Times of Israel.

US said ready to compile list of Palestinian refugees to return in deal

Israeli officials deny report from Palestinian source, saying issue has never come up, and would be rejected

By Times of Israel staff February 18, 2014, 9:00 am 9-The Times of Israel

The US reportedly has recently offered to compile a list of Palestinian refugees interested in settling in Israel, under the assumption that a small number would be approved to do so by the Israeli government, according to a Palestinian source cited in an Israeli report.The compilation of the list, reported by Israel Radio, would mark a new phase in the US-brokered talks, which are reportedly stuck on security guarantees for Israel in the Jordan Valley, among other issues.Israeli officials denied the report to Army Radio, saying it has never come up, and they would reject it if it did.The return of refugees is seen as one of the more intractable issues, which would only be tackled in a final status agreement. Successive Israeli governments have ruled out a substantial influx of refugees; former prime minister Ehud Olmert said he offered to take in 5,000 Palestinians over five years after a peace deal, on an “individual humanitarian basis.”On Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry is slated to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss the talks.

Ramallah has insisted on a right of return for Palestinians who left their homes during Israel’s War of Independence, a demand Israel has rejected as endangering the Jewish character of the state.The Palestinian source quoted by Israel Radio indicated that it is thought that very few Palestinians would choose to live in Israel even if that was an option, because they would have to sing the national anthem, Hatikvah, send their children to schools run by the Israeli educational system, and perhaps in the future have to perform some form of national or army service.Any final list of Palestinians for resettlement would have to be approved by Israel, the report said.The fate of the millions of Palestinian refugees, which include Palestinians who left their homes both in 1948 and 1967 and their descendants, is one of the long-standing final status issues due to be addressed during the current round of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.The right of all the Palestinians refugees to return to what is now Israel has traditionally been a “red line” that the Palestinian leadership has been unwilling to give up.Abbas has maintained a hardline stance on the issue, although this week, in a speech to Israeli students, he said that the Palestinians “do not seek, and we will not seek, to flood Israel with millions in order to change its social culture.”The traditional Palestinian position on the “right of return” follows the language of the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, which stipulates a “just and agreed upon solution based on UN resolution 194.”

Hamas head sent message to Netanyahu asking for restraint

Intermediary Gershon Baskin confirms he was passed message by contact in room with Ismail Haniyeh, asking Israel to keep from escalating violence

By Avi Issacharoff February 18, 2014, 10:39 am 4-The Times of Israel

Hamas’s prime minister in the Gaza Strip recently relayed a direct message to the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirming that the terror organization has no interest in furthering its conflict with Israel and seeking restraint on Israel’s part, Palestinian and Israeli security sources told The Times of Israel.The message, relayed by Ismail Haniyeh through Israeli-American mediator Gershon Baskin, came after an escalation of violence between the sides threatened to spiral out of control two weeks ago.Baskin, who founded the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information and was instrumental in brokering the deal that saw kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit released from Gaza in 2011, confirmed the message had been sent through him.Haniyeh’s message requested Israeli military restraint, after a series of rockets from Gaza hit the Negev and Israeli planes struck back at sites in the Strip in late January and earlier this month.The Prime Minister’s Office declined to comment on the letter.In private conversations last week, senior Palestinian officials claimed Israel is in communication with Hamas leadership, if not with Haniyeh himself.The Islamist organization, which initiated the contacts, has yet to receive a response from Israel, sources said.Baskin keeps regular contact with one of Haniyeh’s advisers, Ghazi Hamad, on a variety of issues, both humanitarian and non-humanitarian. The specific message asking for restraint was passed along two weeks ago.After a volley of rocket fire out of Gaza late last month, the Israel Defense Forces fired upon several targets in the Gaza Strip, hitting, among other targets, a rocket-prevention force in Hamas’s armed wing charged with stymieing attacks from smaller groups in the Strip.As The Times of Israel reported at the time, sources in Gaza said Hamas’s military wing responded by deciding to withdraw most members of the rocket-prevention force, which was first deployed last July. The move essentially gave a green light for smaller terror organizations to fire upon Israel.During a phone conversation between Baskin and Hamad, the latter asked that the plea for restraint be passed along directly to the Prime Minister’s Office.Senior Palestinian officials said the conversation took place with Haniyeh in the same room as Hamad, a claim Baskin confirmed.

At the end of the conversation, Baskin delivered the message to Gil Sheffer, Netanyahu’s bureau chief, in writing.After a few days, Hamas redeployed the rocket prevention force belonging to the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades along the border with Israel.The brigades are considered Hamas’s elite force operating in the Gaza Strip, and Hamas’s decision to deploy them to prevent rocket fire against Israel has been interpreted as a sign of the Islamist terror group’s intention to keep the ceasefire reached with Israel after the November 2012 Operation Pillar of Defense.Hamas has used the “Baskin channel” a number of times in the past in order to forward information to the Israeli leadership. Baskin is well connected with officials at the Defense Ministry and the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories.Communication between Haniyeh and Netanyahu via Baskin is rare, but Israel and Hamas maintain contacts through a number of channels.In recent weeks, Egyptian intelligence officers also functioned as intermediaries between the two sides. According to Palestinian officials, the Qataris as have also recently served as middlemen. On humanitarian issues, such as medical evacuations and the entrance of goods and supplies into Gaza, Palestinian Civil Affairs Minister Hussein al-Sheikh remains the primary mediator between Israel and Hamas.

Ghazi Hamad was unavailable for comment.

Italy’s PM-to-be is tough on Iran, empathetic to Israel

Matteo Renzi supported the 2009 ‘Green Movement’ against the ayatollahs, and has urged ‘more careful consideration of Israel’s stances’

By Raphael Ahren February 17, 2014, 5:11 pm 5-The Times of Israel

The man expected to become Italy’s next prime minister is known to be friendly toward Israel and to take a tough line on Iran.Matteo Renzi, currently the mayor of Florence and the secretary of the Italian center-left Democratic Party, is the top candidate to succeed Prime Minister Enrico Letta, who resigned last week.

“Sometimes Israel exceeds its defense [actions], and we need to say it, but it is time that the left state unequivocally that Israel has a right to live without threats,” Renzi, who has visited the country, has been quoted as saying. “Israel is a country that is surrounded by organizations that wish its destruction, starting with Iran,” he said on a different occasion.A government led by Renzi would probably imply a “few variations to the traditional pattern of Italian foreign policy,” according to Michele Di Donato, an Italian scholar focusing on European left-wing politics. “A slight pro-Atlanticist swing may be expected, as well as a more careful consideration of Israel’s stances in Middle Eastern policy.”Renzi has called Iran the “mother of all challenges” in the Middle East, Di Donato noted, not only because of the regime’s nuclear ambitions but mostly because the 39-year-old politician supported Iran’s opposition “Green Movement” in 2009. “On the same occasion he expressed reservations about the Italian approval of the bid to upgrade Palestine’s UN status on November 2012: a rather isolated position in the center-left, traditionally quite sympathetic to the Palestinian cause,” Di Donate noted.In 2012, Renzi attended a demonstration entitled “For the Truth, for Israel,” during which Israeli and Italian flags were waved.“I don’t really know why, but he has always shown very pro-Israel ideas the few times he talked about foreign policy,” said Nathan Servi, a Jewish native of Florence who has been following Renzi’s political career closely over the years. “It seems we may [get] a European center-left prime minister who doesn’t hate Israel after all.”
