Pollard opposed to release, minister says-Sources close to long-serving convicted spy say he is against such a ‘shameful deal,’ Uri Ariel tells Army Radio-By AP April 1, 2014, 10:57 am-The times of Israel
Convicted spy Jonathan Pollard opposes being freed from a US jail in exchange for Palestinians prisoners, Housing Minister Uri Ariel said Tuesday.Ariel said people close to Pollard have told him that he opposes such a “shameful deal.”Ariel, from the hard-line Jewish Home party, spoke to Army Radio on Tuesday. He said he, too, is against the release of “murderers” for Pollard.Talk of the possibility of Pollard’s early release has arisen as an incentive in the troubled Mideast peace negotiations. The idea is that if he is freed, Israel would make concessions and release more Palestinian prisoners.Pollard was a civilian intelligence analyst for the US Navy when he gave classified documents to Israeli handlers. He was arrested in 1985 and later sentenced to life in prison.
Pollard-for-prisoners deal said to be near completion-Three-way agreement would see partial settlement freeze, hundreds of Palestinians released, but sides waiting for Ramallah to sign on
By Times of Israel staff and AFP April 1, 2014, 1:07 pm 8
A tripartite deal between the US, Israel and the Palestinians which would see Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard freed in exchange for a partial settlement construction freeze and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners was nearing completion on Tuesday afternoon, officials said.Under the proposed deal peace, talks between Israel and the Palestinians would be extended into 2015 and Pollard would be released in the next two weeks, a source close to the talks said.Israel would also commit to put an unofficial moratorium on settlement building for the next eight months under the agreement, though it would not extend to East Jerusalem.“Israel did not accept the Palestinian demand for total and complete settlement freeze but agreed to adopt a policy of restraint concerning government tenders” in the West Bank, the source told The Times of Israel.Under the terms, Israel will soon release the last 27 prisoners from the 104 agreed to when peace talks began in July.In addition, another 400 low-level prisoners, not convicted of violent crimes, would be set free. This group would include women, children and inmates with only a few months of incarceration left, the source said.The identity of the prisoners would be decided partly by Israel and partly by the Palestinian Authority.According to Israel Radio, the agreement was waiting for approval from Ramallah.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with senior Likud party members on Tuesday to elaborate on the details of the plan and enlist their support. According to Maariv, the right-wing Jewish Home party would not torpedo the agreement despite its opposition to additional prisoner releases.Earlier in the day US Secretary of State John Kerry held a second round of talks with Netanyahu amid a push to salvage faltering peace efforts.The breakfast meeting came after Kerry made a surprise trip to Israel to keep the talks on track amid a bitter tussle over the expected release of Palestinian prisoners.Although Kerry was scheduled to leave for a NATO meeting in Brussels on Tuesday morning, a senior Palestinian source said he would return to the region within 24 hours for talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.“Kerry will fly to Europe today for previous engagements and will come back to meet the president tomorrow at noon,” the Palestinian source told AFP.Talks with Abbas were canceled Monday when a meeting with Netanyahu dragged on too late. Kerry met instead with the chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and Palestinian intelligence chief Majid Faraj.The two presented Kerry with Ramallah’s demands in exchange for agreeing to extend talks until the end of the year, including the release of nearly a thousand Palestinian prisoners, according to reports in Arab media.On Monday, sources said the release of US-born Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard was a way to unblock the talks impasse and coax Israel into agreeing to the releases and the settlement freeze.Pollard was arrested in Washington in 1985 and condemned to life imprisonment for spying on the United States on behalf of Israel. One proposal could see Pollard freed before the week-long Jewish holiday of Passover, which begins in mid-April.In exchange, Israel would release the final batch of prisoners as well as another group of detainees, and the sides would agree to extend the talks.State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki, however, refused to be drawn, saying: “Jonathan Pollard was convicted of espionage and is serving his sentence. I do not have any update for you on his status.”A number of Israeli officials have said the release of the prisoners would be too high a price to pay for Pollard’s freedom.Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon told Israel Radio Tuesday he would quit the government if Israel went ahead with the deal, even with Pollard thrown in.The Palestinians on Monday gave Kerry a 24-hour deadline to come up with a solution to the row over the release of the Palestinian prisoners, or threatened to go to UN bodies later in the day to press their claims for statehood.Erekat said the PA would not discuss extending talks until the fourth group of inmates — including several Israeli citizens — was released, according to Haaretz.Jerusalem had not given any indication if it is still considering the release, which could bring down Netanyahu’s government.US officials insist things are moving, saying only that there were a lot of complex pieces to put in place.It appears that Kerry is shifting his focus away from reaching a framework deal toward simply keeping the two sides talking after an April 29 deadline expires.Avi Issacharoff and Raphael Ahren contributed to this report.
Iron Dome accidentally fired in Eilat, setting off rocket fears-Residents say two loud explosions heard in southern city, but army says no rockets shot-By Times of Israel staff April 1, 2014, 8:00 am Updated: April 1, 2014, 8:44 am
Loud explosions echoed across Eilat early Tuesday morning, after two projectiles were mistakenly fired from an Iron Dome anti-missile battery stationed there.The loud booms raised fears of rocket fire on the southern city and sent security forces scrambling to find the source of the fire.However, an army spokesperson said that the explosions were from two Iron Dome anti-missile projectiles being accidentally fired at about 7:40 a.m.Initial reports indicated that up to three Grad rockets were shot at the city, but the Israel Defense Forces said Eilat was not targeted.An army spokesperson said that the Iron Dome battery, which only fires on command, was being checked.Soldiers manning the batteries are instructed to err on the side of caution and fire if they think there may be a threat, Channel 10 reported.There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. Residents said no siren sounded.An airplane preparing to land in the city was forced to circle during the false alarm before being able to touch down safely, Walla reported.In late January two rockets were fired at the Red Sea resort city from Sinai, with one being shot down by an Iron Dome battery stationed there.An al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group that operates in the Sinai and Gaza, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, claimed responsibility for that attack.The group said in a statement that the rocket attack was prompted by “the cooperation between Egypt and Israel and the bombing of Gaza residents.”Eilat, which sits just a few kilometers from the border with Egypt, is sporadically targeted by militants in the largely lawless Sinai
Jordan’s Abdullah: Chance for peace deal won’t be repeated-In meeting with opposition leader Herzog in Amman, Jordanian leader calls on sides to not let negotiations ‘blow up’-By Haviv Rettig Gur March 31, 2014, 5:31 pm-the times of israel
Jordan’s king called on Israeli and Palestinian leaders to stick with negotiations Monday, saying the chance for peace would not come again.King Abdullah II made the statements while meeting with Israeli opposition leader MK Isaac Herzog (Labor) in Amman Monday morning.“There is a one-time opportunity to reach an agreement in the Middle East, and we must find the formula that doesn’t blow up the negotiations,” the Jordanian leader told Herzog, according to a statement from Herzog’s office.Herzog emphasized the support of opposition parties, including his own Labor party, for US-brokered peace talks currently underway.The palace confirmed the meeting, but offered no further details on what was said. It said in a statement, “The king and the head of the Labor Party and member of the Knesset Isaac Herzog discussed efforts to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians under the sponsorship of the United States.”Herzog used the meeting to offer condolences for an incident in early March in which Jordanian-Palestinian judge Raed Zeiter was shot dead by an IDF soldier at the Allenby border crossing between Israel and Jordan. The incident remains under investigation.“I want to offer my sincere apologies over the incident,” said Herzog, who was reportedly the first Israeli to meet the Jordanian king since the incident. “I hope the joint investigative committee will discover the truth and deliver its conclusions quickly.”AFP contributed to this report.
Palestinians give Kerry 24 hours to solve prisoner crisis-‘If we don’t get an answer on prisoners tonight, we’ll ask for membership in UN agencies tomorrow,’ Palestinian MP warns-By AFP March 31, 2014, 11:44 pm 8-the times of israel
RAMALLAH – The Palestinians on Monday gave US Secretary of State John Kerry 24 hours to resolve a dispute with Israel over prisoners after which they will resume moves to seek international recognition.“If we don’t get an answer from John Kerry on the prisoners tonight, we’ll begin to ask for membership in all UN agencies tomorrow,” Palestinian MP Mustafa Barghouti told AFP following a top-level leadership meeting in Ramallah which took place as Kerry arrived in Israel.US peace efforts are teetering on the brink of collapse after Israel refused to free a group of 26 long-serving Palestinian prisoners under an agreement which brought the sides back to the negotiating table in July 2013.Furious Palestinian officials have warned that unless Israel changes its stance on the prisoner releases, it could signal the end of the talks.Another Palestinian official who attended the meeting in Ramallah told AFP “the Israeli government violated the agreements and must bear the consequences of its decisions.”The two Palestinian officials also said that the leadership had confirmed there was “no link between the release of Palestinian prisoners and the extension of negotiations.”Top officials also agreed there would be no extension of talks without a “comprehensive” freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank and annexed east Jerusalem, they said.The peace talks, which have so far yielded no obvious results, are due to draw to a close on April 29 and US efforts are currently focused on getting the parties to agree to an extension.Kerry arrived on Monday evening from Paris for a flying visit and met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Kerry had planned to meet Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas late Monday, but the meeting was delayed until Tuesday morning.He was to return to Europe on Tuesday morning, officials said.
Pollard may be released as part of negotiations deal, officials say-Israeli-American spy could be freed from US prison ‘as soon as April’ as part of bid to keep faltering peace talks alive-By AP, Times of Israel staff and AFP March 31, 2014, 9:28 pm 11-the times of israel
Imprisoned Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard may be released from American incarceration as part of a deal being negotiation by the US, Israel and the Palestinians to keep peace talks on track, unnamed sources involved in the negotiations said Monday.Sources close to the talks told Reuters and the Associated Press that the US and Israel were discussing Pollard’s early release.The report came as US Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Israel to meet with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in a bid to salvage the faltering eight-month-old peace talksAccording to Reuters, Pollard could be released by mid-April in return for Israel releasing a final wave of 27 prisoners from its jails. Further, Israel would release an additional batch of detainees and peace talks would be extended past the April 29 deadline agreed to in July, Reuters’ sources said.A source speaking to the AP cautioned that such a step by the United States — which would be a dramatic turnaround from previous refusals — was far from a done deal and that discussions with Israel on the matter are ongoing. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the negotiations on the record.A senior official in the Prime Minister’s Office declined to comment to The Times of Israel, but did not deny the reports.An Israeli official confirmed that Pollard’s release could be part of deal to extend talks, but that chances were low, Israel Radio reported. White House spokesman Jay Carney responded to the reports of Pollard’s possible release saying, ”He is a person who is convicted of espionage and is serving his sentence, and I don’t have any update on his situation.”Pollard, a US naval analyst, was imprisoned by the US in 1987 after being caught spying for Israel. Successive Israeli governments have lobbied Washington for his release, with no success. He is due to be paroled late next year.Last week, Israel’s Army Radio revealed that the United States had proposed freeing Pollard in a trade-off deal in which Israel would agree to proceed with the next round of prisoner releases, including Israeli Arab prisoners, and the Palestinian Authority would agreed to extend the current peace talks.It said the offer had been conveyed to Israel and the PA, but there was no official confirmation. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki was quoted telling journalists accompanying Secretary of State John Kerry to a meeting with PA President Mahmoud Abbas Wednesday morning that there were currently no plans to release Pollard, who is serving a life sentence.Peace talks have stagnated and threatened to fall apart in recent days after Israel refused to release the final batch of prisoners, said to contain a number of Israeli citizens, saying the Palestinians were not negotiating in good faith.Kerry rushed to the Middle East on Monday for a surprise visit aimed at rescuing his Mideast diplomatic efforts, as peace talks approached a critical make-or-break point.Kerry went straight to Jerusalem and began talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accompanied by his envoy Martin Indyk and US ambassador Dan Shapiro, an AFP correspondent said.Israel’s chief negotiator Tzipi Livni was also present.He will travel to the West Bank city of Ramallah to meet Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.The Palestinians on Monday gave Kerry 24 hours to resolve a dispute with Israel over prisoners after which they will resume moves to seek international recognition.“If we don’t get an answer from John Kerry on the prisoners tonight, we’ll begin to ask for membership in all UN agencies tomorrow,” Palestinian MP Mustafa Barghuti told AFP following a top-level leadership meeting in Ramallah which took place as Kerry arrived in Israel.Furious Palestinian officials have warned that unless Israel changes its stance on the prisoner releases, it could signal the end of the talks.Another Palestinian official who attended the meeting in Ramallah told AFP “the Israeli government violated the agreements and must bear the consequences of its decisions”.The two Palestinian officials also said that the leadership had confirmed there was “no link between the release of Palestinian prisoners and the extension of negotiations” Kerry has been working frantically in recent days trying to salvage the embattled peace process. A senior US official said Kerry spoke with Israeli and Palestinian leaders all morning from Paris, as well as with the White House, before deciding to go back to the region.The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the media.American mediators have been holding urgent talks to resolve a standoff over a promised Israeli prisoner release, and to find a formula to extend the talks beyond a current late-April deadline. If the prisoner release, which was scheduled to happen by the end of March, does not take place, the negotiations risk collapse in the coming weeks.The Palestinian leadership set a meeting to discuss developments Monday evening in the West Bank city of Ramallah. There was no immediate comment from the office of Israel’s prime minister.Under heavy pressure from Kerry, Israel and the Palestinians agreed last July to hold nine months of peace talks, setting a late-April deadline for a final agreement. When that became unrealistic, Kerry scaled back his goals and said he would aim for a preliminary “framework” agreement by April, with the goal of continuing negotiations through the end of the year to iron out the final details of a deal.But even that more modest goal has run into trouble due to a snag over the prisoner release. When the talks began last summer, Israel promised to free 104 long-serving Palestinian prisoners in four stages. After carrying out the first three releases, Israel has balked at releasing the final group without a Palestinian commitment to extend talks.Israeli officials say they are under no obligation to carry out the final release because of what they say is a Palestinian failure to negotiate in good faith.The prisoner issue is deeply emotional on both sides. The Palestinians consider the roughly 5,000 Palestinians held by Israel to be heroes and freedom fighters. Israel considers them terrorists. The prisoners have all served lengthy terms after being convicted in bloody attacks on Israelis, and the scenes of freed prisoners returning to jubilant celebrations have angered the Israeli public.Israel says it is under no obligation to free the last group of prisoners, claiming the Palestinians have not negotiated in “good faith.” The Palestinians say Israel is obligated to carry out the release. They are demanding additional gestures, including the release of another 1,000 prisoners and a halt to Israeli settlement construction on war-won lands, in return for extending peace talks.Kerry had met in Paris with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on how to calm tensions and de-escalate the crisis in Ukraine.
Palestinians reject Israel talks proposal as ‘blackmail’-Official in Ramallah calls attempt by Jerusalem to condition prisoner release on extending talks ‘weak’-By AFP March 31, 2014, 8:24 pm 7-the times of israel
RAMALLAH — Palestinian leaders have rejected an Israeli proposal to extend the crumbling peace talks beyond April 29, saying it was akin to “blackmail,” an official in Ramallah told AFP on Monday.
“Israel is practicing a policy of blackmail and linking its agreement to releasing the fourth batch of prisoners with the Palestinians accepting to extend the negotiations,” the official said following a late-night meeting in Jerusalem between the two negotiating teams.His remarks were made as US Secretary of State John Kerry was heading to Israel from Paris in a bid to prevent the collapse of the crisis-hit talks.US peace efforts took a major blow at the weekend when Israel refused to free a group of 26 veteran Palestinian prisoners under an agreement which brought the sides back to the negotiating table in July 2013.The Palestinians say that unless the prisoners are freed, they won’t even discuss a possible extension of peace talks, but Israel has refused to release the detainees without first securing a Palestinian commitment to continue the talks beyond April 29.“Israel made a proposal which was refused by the Palestinians,” the official told AFP, describing the proposal as “weak.”In exchange for Palestinian agreement to continue the talks, Israel had offered to free the fourth batch of detainees and to releasing another 420 others.But that number would only involve those serving light sentences for minor offenses and would not include sick detainees, nor women and children.And it would not include any heavyweight political names such as Marwan Barghouti, who masterminded the second Palestinian uprising, or Ahmad Saadat, head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.The Palestinians are understood to have several conditions for extending the talks with Israel, including the release of more security prisoners and a freeze on Israeli settlement construction which has continued freely over the past eight months of talks.“The proposal includes a partial settlement freeze in the West Bank but excludes East Jerusalem, and would include continued building in areas where tenders have already been published,” he said.He accused Israel of trying to string out the negotiations indefinitely while continuing to build facts on the ground.“The Israeli proposal aims to continue the negotiations indefinitely, without any results, in parallel with continued settlement building,” he charged.“It’s a very difficult situation and the peace process is in real danger because of Israeli policy.”Read more: Palestinians reject Israel talks proposal as 'blackmail' | The Times of Israel
Police arrest gang for raiding Second Temple-era tomb-Suspects apprehended while meeting with prospective buyers-By AFP March 31, 2014, 4:23 pm-the times of israel
Police and antiquities inspectors have arrested a gang accused of looting ancient Jewish burial caskets from a cave in the Jerusalem area, the Israel Antiquities Authority said on Monday.“They were caught while in possession of 11 decorated stone ossuaries — ancient coffins — that the Jewish population used for burial in the Second Temple period, 2,000 years ago,” the IAA said in a statement.“Some of the ossuaries still contained the skeletal remains of the deceased,” it said.The suspects, from the West Bank, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, were arrested on Friday as they met prospective Jewish clients at a crossing point between the West Bank and Israeli annexed east Jerusalem.“Shallow engravings, etched in the past by means of a sharp stylus, were found on the walls of two of the seized ossuaries. They cite the names of the deceased whose bones were collected in the coffins,” the IAA said.One of the ossuaries bore the name “Ralfin,” written in squared Hebrew script “characteristic of the Second Temple period,” the statement said.“There is no doubt that the ossuaries were recently looted from a magnificent burial cave in Jerusalem,” it added.

The idea is that if he is freed, Israel would make concessions and release more Palestinian prisoners.Pollard was a civilian intelligence analyst for the US Navy when he gave classified documents to Israeli handlers. He was arrested in 1985 and later sentenced to life in prison.
Pollard-for-prisoners deal said to be near completion-Three-way agreement would see partial settlement freeze, hundreds of Palestinians released, but sides waiting for Ramallah to sign on

A tripartite deal between the US, Israel and the Palestinians which would see Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard freed in exchange for a partial settlement construction freeze and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners was nearing completion on Tuesday afternoon, officials said.Under the proposed deal peace, talks between Israel and the Palestinians would be extended into 2015 and Pollard would be released in the next two weeks, a source close to the talks said.Israel would also commit to put an unofficial moratorium on settlement building for the next eight months under the agreement, though it would not extend to East Jerusalem.“Israel did not accept the Palestinian demand for total and complete settlement freeze but agreed to adopt a policy of restraint concerning government tenders” in the West Bank, the source told The Times of Israel.Under the terms, Israel will soon release the last 27 prisoners from the 104 agreed to when peace talks began in July.In addition, another 400 low-level prisoners, not convicted of violent crimes, would be set free. This group would include women, children and inmates with only a few months of incarceration left, the source said.The identity of the prisoners would be decided partly by Israel and partly by the Palestinian Authority.According to Israel Radio, the agreement was waiting for approval from Ramallah.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with senior Likud party members on Tuesday to elaborate on the details of the plan and enlist their support. According to Maariv, the right-wing Jewish Home party would not torpedo the agreement despite its opposition to additional prisoner releases.Earlier in the day US Secretary of State John Kerry held a second round of talks with Netanyahu amid a push to salvage faltering peace efforts.The breakfast meeting came after Kerry made a surprise trip to Israel to keep the talks on track amid a bitter tussle over the expected release of Palestinian prisoners.Although Kerry was scheduled to leave for a NATO meeting in Brussels on Tuesday morning, a senior Palestinian source said he would return to the region within 24 hours for talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.“Kerry will fly to Europe today for previous engagements and will come back to meet the president tomorrow at noon,” the Palestinian source told AFP.Talks with Abbas were canceled Monday when a meeting with Netanyahu dragged on too late. Kerry met instead with the chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and Palestinian intelligence chief Majid Faraj.The two presented Kerry with Ramallah’s demands in exchange for agreeing to extend talks until the end of the year, including the release of nearly a thousand Palestinian prisoners, according to reports in Arab media.On Monday, sources said the release of US-born Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard was a way to unblock the talks impasse and coax Israel into agreeing to the releases and the settlement freeze.Pollard was arrested in Washington in 1985 and condemned to life imprisonment for spying on the United States on behalf of Israel. One proposal could see Pollard freed before the week-long Jewish holiday of Passover, which begins in mid-April.In exchange, Israel would release the final batch of prisoners as well as another group of detainees, and the sides would agree to extend the talks.State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki, however, refused to be drawn, saying: “Jonathan Pollard was convicted of espionage and is serving his sentence. I do not have any update for you on his status.”A number of Israeli officials have said the release of the prisoners would be too high a price to pay for Pollard’s freedom.Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon told Israel Radio Tuesday he would quit the government if Israel went ahead with the deal, even with Pollard thrown in.The Palestinians on Monday gave Kerry a 24-hour deadline to come up with a solution to the row over the release of the Palestinian prisoners, or threatened to go to UN bodies later in the day to press their claims for statehood.Erekat said the PA would not discuss extending talks until the fourth group of inmates — including several Israeli citizens — was released, according to Haaretz.Jerusalem had not given any indication if it is still considering the release, which could bring down Netanyahu’s government.US officials insist things are moving, saying only that there were a lot of complex pieces to put in place.It appears that Kerry is shifting his focus away from reaching a framework deal toward simply keeping the two sides talking after an April 29 deadline expires.Avi Issacharoff and Raphael Ahren contributed to this report.
Iron Dome accidentally fired in Eilat, setting off rocket fears-Residents say two loud explosions heard in southern city, but army says no rockets shot-By Times of Israel staff April 1, 2014, 8:00 am Updated: April 1, 2014, 8:44 am
Loud explosions echoed across Eilat early Tuesday morning, after two projectiles were mistakenly fired from an Iron Dome anti-missile battery stationed there.The loud booms raised fears of rocket fire on the southern city and sent security forces scrambling to find the source of the fire.However, an army spokesperson said that the explosions were from two Iron Dome anti-missile projectiles being accidentally fired at about 7:40 a.m.Initial reports indicated that up to three Grad rockets were shot at the city, but the Israel Defense Forces said Eilat was not targeted.An army spokesperson said that the Iron Dome battery, which only fires on command, was being checked.Soldiers manning the batteries are instructed to err on the side of caution and fire if they think there may be a threat, Channel 10 reported.There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. Residents said no siren sounded.An airplane preparing to land in the city was forced to circle during the false alarm before being able to touch down safely, Walla reported.In late January two rockets were fired at the Red Sea resort city from Sinai, with one being shot down by an Iron Dome battery stationed there.An al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group that operates in the Sinai and Gaza, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, claimed responsibility for that attack.The group said in a statement that the rocket attack was prompted by “the cooperation between Egypt and Israel and the bombing of Gaza residents.”Eilat, which sits just a few kilometers from the border with Egypt, is sporadically targeted by militants in the largely lawless Sinai
Jordan’s Abdullah: Chance for peace deal won’t be repeated-In meeting with opposition leader Herzog in Amman, Jordanian leader calls on sides to not let negotiations ‘blow up’-By Haviv Rettig Gur March 31, 2014, 5:31 pm-the times of israel
Jordan’s king called on Israeli and Palestinian leaders to stick with negotiations Monday, saying the chance for peace would not come again.King Abdullah II made the statements while meeting with Israeli opposition leader MK Isaac Herzog (Labor) in Amman Monday morning.“There is a one-time opportunity to reach an agreement in the Middle East, and we must find the formula that doesn’t blow up the negotiations,” the Jordanian leader told Herzog, according to a statement from Herzog’s office.Herzog emphasized the support of opposition parties, including his own Labor party, for US-brokered peace talks currently underway.The palace confirmed the meeting, but offered no further details on what was said. It said in a statement, “The king and the head of the Labor Party and member of the Knesset Isaac Herzog discussed efforts to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians under the sponsorship of the United States.”Herzog used the meeting to offer condolences for an incident in early March in which Jordanian-Palestinian judge Raed Zeiter was shot dead by an IDF soldier at the Allenby border crossing between Israel and Jordan. The incident remains under investigation.“I want to offer my sincere apologies over the incident,” said Herzog, who was reportedly the first Israeli to meet the Jordanian king since the incident. “I hope the joint investigative committee will discover the truth and deliver its conclusions quickly.”AFP contributed to this report.
Palestinians give Kerry 24 hours to solve prisoner crisis-‘If we don’t get an answer on prisoners tonight, we’ll ask for membership in UN agencies tomorrow,’ Palestinian MP warns-By AFP March 31, 2014, 11:44 pm 8-the times of israel
RAMALLAH – The Palestinians on Monday gave US Secretary of State John Kerry 24 hours to resolve a dispute with Israel over prisoners after which they will resume moves to seek international recognition.“If we don’t get an answer from John Kerry on the prisoners tonight, we’ll begin to ask for membership in all UN agencies tomorrow,” Palestinian MP Mustafa Barghouti told AFP following a top-level leadership meeting in Ramallah which took place as Kerry arrived in Israel.US peace efforts are teetering on the brink of collapse after Israel refused to free a group of 26 long-serving Palestinian prisoners under an agreement which brought the sides back to the negotiating table in July 2013.Furious Palestinian officials have warned that unless Israel changes its stance on the prisoner releases, it could signal the end of the talks.Another Palestinian official who attended the meeting in Ramallah told AFP “the Israeli government violated the agreements and must bear the consequences of its decisions.”The two Palestinian officials also said that the leadership had confirmed there was “no link between the release of Palestinian prisoners and the extension of negotiations.”Top officials also agreed there would be no extension of talks without a “comprehensive” freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank and annexed east Jerusalem, they said.The peace talks, which have so far yielded no obvious results, are due to draw to a close on April 29 and US efforts are currently focused on getting the parties to agree to an extension.Kerry arrived on Monday evening from Paris for a flying visit and met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Kerry had planned to meet Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas late Monday, but the meeting was delayed until Tuesday morning.He was to return to Europe on Tuesday morning, officials said.
Pollard may be released as part of negotiations deal, officials say-Israeli-American spy could be freed from US prison ‘as soon as April’ as part of bid to keep faltering peace talks alive-By AP, Times of Israel staff and AFP March 31, 2014, 9:28 pm 11-the times of israel
Imprisoned Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard may be released from American incarceration as part of a deal being negotiation by the US, Israel and the Palestinians to keep peace talks on track, unnamed sources involved in the negotiations said Monday.Sources close to the talks told Reuters and the Associated Press that the US and Israel were discussing Pollard’s early release.The report came as US Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Israel to meet with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in a bid to salvage the faltering eight-month-old peace talksAccording to Reuters, Pollard could be released by mid-April in return for Israel releasing a final wave of 27 prisoners from its jails. Further, Israel would release an additional batch of detainees and peace talks would be extended past the April 29 deadline agreed to in July, Reuters’ sources said.A source speaking to the AP cautioned that such a step by the United States — which would be a dramatic turnaround from previous refusals — was far from a done deal and that discussions with Israel on the matter are ongoing. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the negotiations on the record.A senior official in the Prime Minister’s Office declined to comment to The Times of Israel, but did not deny the reports.An Israeli official confirmed that Pollard’s release could be part of deal to extend talks, but that chances were low, Israel Radio reported. White House spokesman Jay Carney responded to the reports of Pollard’s possible release saying, ”He is a person who is convicted of espionage and is serving his sentence, and I don’t have any update on his situation.”Pollard, a US naval analyst, was imprisoned by the US in 1987 after being caught spying for Israel. Successive Israeli governments have lobbied Washington for his release, with no success. He is due to be paroled late next year.Last week, Israel’s Army Radio revealed that the United States had proposed freeing Pollard in a trade-off deal in which Israel would agree to proceed with the next round of prisoner releases, including Israeli Arab prisoners, and the Palestinian Authority would agreed to extend the current peace talks.It said the offer had been conveyed to Israel and the PA, but there was no official confirmation. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki was quoted telling journalists accompanying Secretary of State John Kerry to a meeting with PA President Mahmoud Abbas Wednesday morning that there were currently no plans to release Pollard, who is serving a life sentence.Peace talks have stagnated and threatened to fall apart in recent days after Israel refused to release the final batch of prisoners, said to contain a number of Israeli citizens, saying the Palestinians were not negotiating in good faith.Kerry rushed to the Middle East on Monday for a surprise visit aimed at rescuing his Mideast diplomatic efforts, as peace talks approached a critical make-or-break point.Kerry went straight to Jerusalem and began talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accompanied by his envoy Martin Indyk and US ambassador Dan Shapiro, an AFP correspondent said.Israel’s chief negotiator Tzipi Livni was also present.He will travel to the West Bank city of Ramallah to meet Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.The Palestinians on Monday gave Kerry 24 hours to resolve a dispute with Israel over prisoners after which they will resume moves to seek international recognition.“If we don’t get an answer from John Kerry on the prisoners tonight, we’ll begin to ask for membership in all UN agencies tomorrow,” Palestinian MP Mustafa Barghuti told AFP following a top-level leadership meeting in Ramallah which took place as Kerry arrived in Israel.Furious Palestinian officials have warned that unless Israel changes its stance on the prisoner releases, it could signal the end of the talks.Another Palestinian official who attended the meeting in Ramallah told AFP “the Israeli government violated the agreements and must bear the consequences of its decisions”.The two Palestinian officials also said that the leadership had confirmed there was “no link between the release of Palestinian prisoners and the extension of negotiations” Kerry has been working frantically in recent days trying to salvage the embattled peace process. A senior US official said Kerry spoke with Israeli and Palestinian leaders all morning from Paris, as well as with the White House, before deciding to go back to the region.The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the media.American mediators have been holding urgent talks to resolve a standoff over a promised Israeli prisoner release, and to find a formula to extend the talks beyond a current late-April deadline. If the prisoner release, which was scheduled to happen by the end of March, does not take place, the negotiations risk collapse in the coming weeks.The Palestinian leadership set a meeting to discuss developments Monday evening in the West Bank city of Ramallah. There was no immediate comment from the office of Israel’s prime minister.Under heavy pressure from Kerry, Israel and the Palestinians agreed last July to hold nine months of peace talks, setting a late-April deadline for a final agreement. When that became unrealistic, Kerry scaled back his goals and said he would aim for a preliminary “framework” agreement by April, with the goal of continuing negotiations through the end of the year to iron out the final details of a deal.But even that more modest goal has run into trouble due to a snag over the prisoner release. When the talks began last summer, Israel promised to free 104 long-serving Palestinian prisoners in four stages. After carrying out the first three releases, Israel has balked at releasing the final group without a Palestinian commitment to extend talks.Israeli officials say they are under no obligation to carry out the final release because of what they say is a Palestinian failure to negotiate in good faith.The prisoner issue is deeply emotional on both sides. The Palestinians consider the roughly 5,000 Palestinians held by Israel to be heroes and freedom fighters. Israel considers them terrorists. The prisoners have all served lengthy terms after being convicted in bloody attacks on Israelis, and the scenes of freed prisoners returning to jubilant celebrations have angered the Israeli public.Israel says it is under no obligation to free the last group of prisoners, claiming the Palestinians have not negotiated in “good faith.” The Palestinians say Israel is obligated to carry out the release. They are demanding additional gestures, including the release of another 1,000 prisoners and a halt to Israeli settlement construction on war-won lands, in return for extending peace talks.Kerry had met in Paris with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on how to calm tensions and de-escalate the crisis in Ukraine.
Palestinians reject Israel talks proposal as ‘blackmail’-Official in Ramallah calls attempt by Jerusalem to condition prisoner release on extending talks ‘weak’-By AFP March 31, 2014, 8:24 pm 7-the times of israel
RAMALLAH — Palestinian leaders have rejected an Israeli proposal to extend the crumbling peace talks beyond April 29, saying it was akin to “blackmail,” an official in Ramallah told AFP on Monday.
“Israel is practicing a policy of blackmail and linking its agreement to releasing the fourth batch of prisoners with the Palestinians accepting to extend the negotiations,” the official said following a late-night meeting in Jerusalem between the two negotiating teams.His remarks were made as US Secretary of State John Kerry was heading to Israel from Paris in a bid to prevent the collapse of the crisis-hit talks.US peace efforts took a major blow at the weekend when Israel refused to free a group of 26 veteran Palestinian prisoners under an agreement which brought the sides back to the negotiating table in July 2013.The Palestinians say that unless the prisoners are freed, they won’t even discuss a possible extension of peace talks, but Israel has refused to release the detainees without first securing a Palestinian commitment to continue the talks beyond April 29.“Israel made a proposal which was refused by the Palestinians,” the official told AFP, describing the proposal as “weak.”In exchange for Palestinian agreement to continue the talks, Israel had offered to free the fourth batch of detainees and to releasing another 420 others.But that number would only involve those serving light sentences for minor offenses and would not include sick detainees, nor women and children.And it would not include any heavyweight political names such as Marwan Barghouti, who masterminded the second Palestinian uprising, or Ahmad Saadat, head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.The Palestinians are understood to have several conditions for extending the talks with Israel, including the release of more security prisoners and a freeze on Israeli settlement construction which has continued freely over the past eight months of talks.“The proposal includes a partial settlement freeze in the West Bank but excludes East Jerusalem, and would include continued building in areas where tenders have already been published,” he said.He accused Israel of trying to string out the negotiations indefinitely while continuing to build facts on the ground.“The Israeli proposal aims to continue the negotiations indefinitely, without any results, in parallel with continued settlement building,” he charged.“It’s a very difficult situation and the peace process is in real danger because of Israeli policy.”Read more: Palestinians reject Israel talks proposal as 'blackmail' | The Times of Israel
Police arrest gang for raiding Second Temple-era tomb-Suspects apprehended while meeting with prospective buyers-By AFP March 31, 2014, 4:23 pm-the times of israel
Police and antiquities inspectors have arrested a gang accused of looting ancient Jewish burial caskets from a cave in the Jerusalem area, the Israel Antiquities Authority said on Monday.“They were caught while in possession of 11 decorated stone ossuaries — ancient coffins — that the Jewish population used for burial in the Second Temple period, 2,000 years ago,” the IAA said in a statement.“Some of the ossuaries still contained the skeletal remains of the deceased,” it said.The suspects, from the West Bank, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, were arrested on Friday as they met prospective Jewish clients at a crossing point between the West Bank and Israeli annexed east Jerusalem.“Shallow engravings, etched in the past by means of a sharp stylus, were found on the walls of two of the seized ossuaries. They cite the names of the deceased whose bones were collected in the coffins,” the IAA said.One of the ossuaries bore the name “Ralfin,” written in squared Hebrew script “characteristic of the Second Temple period,” the statement said.“There is no doubt that the ossuaries were recently looted from a magnificent burial cave in Jerusalem,” it added.
