Israeli offers to negotiate between US and Yemenite demonstrators to end
cycle of violence

October 12, 2000

Dear President Clinton,

Madeline Albright has spoken of taking appropriate action against the
"terrorists" responsible for the attack on the destroyer in Yemen. I would
like to take exception to the description of those responsible for this
action as "terrorists." Please describe them, rather, as "demonstrators."
In addition, I hope that you will take a moment to feel the anguish of the
people who carried out the attack and, rather than retaliating in kind,
declare an immediate end to violence on both sides. Peace with Yemenite
demonstrators cannot be brought about through violence, but only when
America and the demonstrators meet at the negotiating table. You must be
willing to show your flexibility and ability to make difficult, even
painful, choices for the sake of peace. A good first step would be to
hand over 93% of your fleet in the Middle East to the Yemenite
demonstrators.

If you wish, I am available to act as a good faith broker to these
peace talks.

Sincerely,

Yaacov David Shulman

Arafat calls for withdrawal to Partition lines and return of refugees to
Israel

Aaron Lerner Date: 22 October, 2000

In his speech yesterday at the Arab summit in Cairo, Yasser Arafat
presented the following demand:

"Israel should lift the siege on our cities and people and withdraw
from all the Palestinian and Arab territories, including holy
Jerusalem, the capital of our independent Palestinian state. I
reiterate that our goals are the liberation of our land, the
establishment of our independent state on the blessed land of
Palestine with holy Jerusalem as its capital, and the return of
refugees based on international legitimacy resolutions, especially
Resolutions 181 and 194."

U.N. General Assembly Resolution 181 from November 29, 1947 - before
the creation of the State of Israel, calls for the partition of
Palestine into an Israeli and Arab state with the Israeli state
divided into three small segments. Ashdod, Jaffa (part of Tel
Aviv-Jaffa), Nazareth, Acre, Naharia and other areas part of a
Palestinian state and Jerusalem internationalized.

U.N. General Assembly Resolution 194 from December 11, 1948, calls
for Holy Places to be under U.N. supervision; a special status and
"international regime" for the Jerusalem area - stretching as far as
Ein Kerem and Motza; and the return to within Israel of "refugees
wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their
neighbors. . .at the earliest practical date."

The Oslo process was based on 242, a resolution that calls for
withdraw to "secure and recognized borders" rather to a specific
border. The Americans, British and even Russians involved in the
preparation of this U.N. resolution made it clear that it provided
Israel with considerable latitude.

While the above Palestinian demand is a position that is not
acceptable to any Israeli Jew - even the members of the extremist
Gush Shalom - for some reason there has been very little coverage of
these demands in the Israeli media and the morning news/interview
programs have completely ignored it.

PM BARAK: PALESTINIANS NOT HONORING SHARM UNDERSTANDINGS; TIME-OUT TO
REASSESS DIPLOMATIC PROCESS IN LIGHT OF RECENT EVENTS

(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

Jerusalem Sunday, October 22, 2000

Following are Prime Minister and Defense Minister Ehud Barak's remarks
at the beginning of the weekly Cabinet meeting today (Sunday),
22.10.2000:

"We are facing a complex and complicated situation the likes of which we
have not known for some time. Practical risks of a deterioration are
latent in the reality of Judea, Samaria and Gaza, the north and the
entire region, and the price is not so simple. Such times call for
responsibility, leadership and the refusal to be dragged along by
provocations on one hand, or capitulate on the other, as well as the
preservation of a stable, considered and firm line of operation.

The Sharm understandings are not being upheld by the Palestinian side.
There are preparations for attacks, public incitement, continued mass
demonstrations, shooting incidents and a lack of security coordination.
Released terrorists are not being detained and the violence is not being
reined in. We cannot ignore such a situation and must act in accordance
with Israel's vital security interests in order to provide the area with
maximum security, stability and normal daily life.

Today, it seems that the Palestinians have chosen not to continue on the
path of Camp David and are preventing a discussion on the basis of the
ideas raised by President Clinton. It appears that they have turned
towards violence in order to try and internationalize the process and
secure international support for the establishment of their state
without agreement with Israel.

After the Arab summit, and in light of its results, we will have to call
a time-out, the goal of which will be to reassess the diplomatic process
in light of the events of recent weeks. The need for this is
self-evident, natural and dictated by common sense.

The State of Israel will continue to strive towards peace and search for
any way to secure it; however, one would have to be blind vis-a-vis
diplomatic and security matters in order to continue the process as if
nothing has happened. There have been many such time-outs in the last
decade, both on our part and on the other side. This is not new. It is
a necessary step and therefore, no government decision is necessary.

I will strive to expand the government in the direction of a national
emergency government. I have no doubt that even a national emergency
government will strive towards an Israeli-Palestinian peace, even if
there are differences of emphasis and nuance.

We face the immediate danger of severe attacks, shooting and
deterioration.

I want to express great appreciation for the IDF, which is operating
under difficult conditions, while showing responsibility and
self-control; for the Israel Police, for its actions to calm the
situation inside Israel; and the ISA, for its exemplary efforts to
thwart terrorist attacks.

The IDF operates under no political restrictions in its use of force to
protect citizens and rescue those who have been injured and enjoys my
full backing vis-a-vis its operational and tactical considerations in
such situations. We will continue to assure the security of Israeli
citizens and strive toward peace, but we will do this with open eyes
while courageously understanding the true environment in which we live.

The Palestinians will be our neighbors always. We will never lose the
hope of achieving a "peace of the brave" with them which will assure
genuine security and stability for both sides.

Subject: [BPR] - Arab summit condemns "barbaric" Israel

 Arab summit condemns "barbaric" Israel

 By Caroline Drees

CAIRO (Reuters) - Arab leaders have ended a summit in Cairo with harsh
words for a "barbaric" Israel and pledges of support for the
Palestinians.

But the leaders, holding their first summit in four years, did not back
up their tirade with strong measures to punish Israel for its role in
the violence that has engulfed the West Bank and Gaza and derailed
Middle East peacemaking.

Israeli-Palestinian clashes have claimed the lives of 121 people, all
but eight of them Arabs, in the past 25 days.

Israel said on Sunday it was awaiting the summit's outcome before
deciding whether to call an official "time-out" in peace talks with the
Palestinians.

"We are awaiting a series of decisions by the Arab summit that will
close today in Cairo. And I have no doubt that among other things a
decision about the imposition of a time-out will be strongly linked to
the character of the decisions the Arab summit takes," Danny Yatom, a
senior adviser to Prime Minister Ehud Barak, told Israel's Army Radio.

The final summit communiqué read by Arab League Secretary-General
Esmat Abdel- Meguid called for a U.N. war crimes tribunal to try
Israelis for "massacres".

It also called for the creation of two Arab funds worth $1 billion. The
Jerusalem Intifada Fund would raise $200 million for the families of
Palestinians killed or wounded. The other, to be known as al-Aqsa Fund,
would provide $800 million to protect the "Arab and Islamic character"
of East Jerusalem.

The clashes were ignited by the September 28 visit of Israeli opposition
leader Ariel Sharon to a compound in Jerusalem's Old City that contains
al- Aqsa mosque, Islam's third holiest shrine. Jews revere the compound
as the Temple Mount.

TEPID MEASURES

The bloodshed has spurred some Arab leaders, and thousands of
demonstrators, to demand a break in ties with Israel.

But the summit statement said only that Arabs would halt further
normalisation with Israel and stay away from multilateral talks on
regional economic co-operation.

In apparent deference to Egypt and Jordan, the only two Arab states to
sign peace treaties with Israel, the communiqué left it up to individual
countries to decide on existing ties.

"Arab leaders affirm that in view of the setback in the peace process,
they will confront firmly Israeli efforts to infiltrate the Arab world
under whatever name and to stop forging any ties with Israel," the draft
communiqué says.

"They hold Israel responsible for the steps and decisions taken by Arab
countries, which are dictated by the stoppage of the peace process,
including cancellation of relations."

It also reaffirmed the Arabs' commitment to a just, lasting and
comprehensive peace with Israel and called on the Jewish state to
demonstrate a similar commitment.

The communiqué said there could be no peace unless Israel ceded all land
occupied in a 1967 war, including East Jerusalem, which Palestinians
want as the capital of a future state. Israel has vowed to keep the
whole city as its capital.

ARAB TIES WITH ISRAEL

The proposed measures are unlikely to frighten Israel as they do not
commit countries such as Egypt and Jordan to tear up their 1979 and 1994
peace treaties with the Jewish state.

Only a handful of other Arab states established low-level ties with
Israel after a 1993 Israeli- Palestinian peace deal.

Oman and Qatar set up trade ties with Israel in 1994 but both states
froze steps towards normalisation three years later. Last week, Oman
closed its bureau in Tel Aviv and shut Israel's office in Muscat to
protest at the violence.

Mauritania established full diplomatic relations with Israel last year.
Morocco and Tunisia set up low-level diplomatic ties six years ago, but
both downgraded them in the past two weeks.

Libya, represented only by an ambassador, quit Saturday's meeting
because the Arabs had failed to cut ties with Israel.

Delegates said that in a closed session, moderate Arab leaders had
convinced hardline states to agree to the communiqué by saying Arabs
could wait until their next summit, scheduled to be held in Jordan in
March, to reassess the situation.

Summit host Egypt has defended the proposed communiqué, saying it was
aimed at calming the rage in the Middle East.

"This summit and this final statement represents the wise and moderate
position," a senior Egyptian official said. "It avoids confrontations
but at the same time shows a desire for peace and stability in the
region. It is a difficult mission."

Palestinian senior negotiator Nabil Shaath, speaking to reporters after
Saturday's closed session, said he was pleased at the summit proposals
but added: "We still want more".

Delegates said Gulf countries had rejected a Palestinian demand to
employ 130,000 Palestinians, saying their migration from the West Bank
and Gaza would play into Israel's hands.

Arab leaders warned countries against transferring their embassies to
Jerusalem or recognising it as the capital of Israel. U.S. President
Bill Clinton said in September he would review the possibility of moving
the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, addressing the summit on Saturday,
promised that his people would maintain the struggle against Israel, but
said their choice remained peace.

A senior Palestinian official told Reuters in Ramallah that Arafat would
order his police to prevent Palestinians using firearms against Israeli
troops as soon as the summit ends.

Russia ready to back Arab countries over Mideast peace
MOSCOW, Oct 21 (AFP) -

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that Moscow was
"ready to cooperate" with Arab countries in the search for a solution
to the Middle East crisis.

"Russia will contribute as always in an active way to the search for
an Israel-Palestinian solution, and we are ready to cooperate
whole-heartedly with Arab countries to that end," Putin said in a
message to Arab leaders gathered for a summit in Cairo.

Putin added that his country "respects the strategic choice of Arab
countries in promoting peace, and supports it completely".

The foreign ministry, for its part, issued an "urgent appeal" to both
Israelis and the Palestinians to "stop the escalation of the
violence."

"Russia hopes the Cairo summit will take decisions that can help
resolve the conflict and re-establish political dialogue," the
ministry said.

Russia has traditionally backed the Palestinians and Arab countries
in the conflict, but it has lost influence in the region recent years.

Meanwhile Israel's special envoy to Russia Roman Bronfman criticized
Moscow's lack of "objectivity" in its approach to the crisis.

Bronfman is in Moscow to deliver a message from Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Barak to the Russian leader, the contents of which are
not known.

Recent visits by leading Russian diplomats to Syria and Iran, he
said, "lead us to doubt the objectivity of Russia's position in the
peace process in the Middle East."

"We are happy that Russia feels close to Arab nations, but we would
like it to feel just as close to the Jewish people", he added.

Arab leaders met in the Egyptian capital Cairo as clashes between
Israeli security forces and Palestinian protesters in the West Bank
and Gaza intensified.

Israel has threatened to withdraw from the peace process if the
violence does not stop by the end of the Arab summit on Sunday.

ISRAEL'S REACTION TO THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION
(Communicated by the Foreign Ministry Spokesman)
Jerusalem, 21 October 2000

Israel adamantly rejects the decision taken by the Special
Emergency Session of the United Nations on October 20. This
resolution is totally one-sided and completely ignores numerous
incidents such as the lynch in Ramallah and the desecration of
Joseph's Tomb and the ancient synagogue in Jericho, as well as
the ongoing acts of violence on the part of the Palestinians.
This decision also ignores the fact that the Palestinian
Authority planned and initiated these acts and is responsible for
not implementing the commitments it took on at the Sharm
el-Sheikh Summit. The Palestinians, including the police and
Tanzim organization working directly with the PA, are using live
ammunition on all fronts against Israeli citizens. Furthermore,
they send women and children to confront Israelis.

The decision also chose to ignore the Israeli government's
willingness, as displayed during the Camp David Summit, to take
dramatic and painful decisions in order to advance the peace
process, as opposed to the unwillingness of Arafat and the
Palestinian leadership to make the necessary decisions.

The decision taken today by less than half of the U.N. membership
does not contribute to the efforts to calm the situation and to
cease the violence by the Palestinians, in accordance with the
Sharm el-Sheikh Summit summary statement.

The government of Israel will do all it can to stabilize the
situation, and expects the Palestinian leadership to do likewise.

Arafat" "...Let him go to hell"

(IsraelWire-10/22) Speaking to reporters on Sunday, PLO Authority (PA)
Chairman Yassir Arafat stated he was continuing his journey to statehood
and onto Jerusalem, and Prime Minister Ehud Barak can accept or not. "If he
does not like it, let him go to hell," concluded the PA leader.

http://www.virtualjerusalem.com/articles/1043001.htm

To hear Arafat, goto http://www.jpostradio.com and click on
"Shooting continues in Gilo (October 22: 22:00) As the shooting continues in
the Gilo district of Jerusalem, we assess where the peace process stands
tonight."
(30-40 seconds into the recording Arafat clearly states that Barak can go to
hell)
--------------------

CIA Chief Tells the White House of Arafat's War of Independence

(IsraelWire-10/22) The director of the US Central Intelligence Agency, George
Tenet, has submitted his report to President Bill Clinton, stating with
certainty that PLO Authority (PA) Chairman Yassir Arafat has opted to take
the path of violence over the Oslo process.

Following his assessment of the over three weeks of Arab unrest and attacks
throughout the country, Tenet has come to the realization that despite his
public messages indicating a desire to reach a peace accord with Israel,
Arafat has opted to fight to the end until a Palestinian state is declared.
Tenet told the White House that the daily shooting attacks throughout Yesha
are ordered and endorsed by the most senior PA leadership.

  This assessment is shared by the IDF intelligence community.
