SUMMARY OF EDITORIALS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Yediot Ahronot suggests that Egypt now faces the unpleasant prospect of
Arab criticism if it uses force against the Palestinian influx from the
Gaza Strip. The paper asserts that Israel, „must not continue to
volunteer to deliver fuel or any other equipment to the Gaza Strip since
Egypt can do so much better,” and adds that since, „There are enemies in
Gaza,” Israel, „has a long-range interest in ending its ties with – and
responsibility for – the Gaza Strip. This is, at last, the fruit of the
disengagement. While terrorism is continuing, we are no longer
responsible for the population.” The editors venture that Hamas will
not push the Egyptians too far because, „The Egyptians are not soft
Israel…Egypt has an Arab security establishment that is liable to be
very brutal.”
Ma’ariv believes that, „The terrorist attack in Dimona
must teach us a
lesson – releasing terrorists leads to murder,” and notes that one of
the terrorists was released from an Israeli prison in 2005. The editors
recall that the two terrorists who were shot dead on 25.1.08 as they
tried to stab students in Kfar Etzion
had
been released from prison only the week before and add that, „Even the
parents of beloved soldier Shalit must understand that there is a moral
boundary that cannot be crossed.”
Makor Rishon-Hatzofeh refers to Winograd Committee member Prof. Yehezkel
Dror’s comments in support of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s peace policy
and reminds its readers that the Committee, „decided – for legalistic
reasons – not to draw personal conclusions or issue personal
recommendations.” The editors declare that, „There is no alternative to
transferring the responsibility for drawing conclusions back to the
people…via elections within a few months.”
