SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Yediot Ahronot speaks out against bureaucratic waste. The author argues that, „The conditions for efficiency lie in a sharp division of all public service tenures into two personnel fleets ? to increase each year the professional fleet and reduce each year the bureaucratic fleet.”
Ma’ariv remarks that, „In Israel over the past seven years, [State] Comptroller [Micha] Lindenstrauss is the only person to have exacted accountability from those who took no account of anyone.”
Yisrael Hayom notes remarks in the Yediot Aharonot and the Washington Post attributed to the Obama administration regarding the peace process and says that, „It is possible to understand from this, at least from what is being said, that Washington is convinced that if there was no progress until now, it was the fault of the Israeli Government.” The author further states that, „Not only does the American administration ignore the real reasons for the diplomatic deadlock between Israel and the Palestinians, but rather it intends, if and when it remains in place after November, to return to the diplomatic line which characterized it at the very beginning. In other words, by applying pressure to Israel (even though President Obama himself acknowledged afterwards that he was mistaken). Even worse is that the Palestinians will view this as a golden opportunity to extract themselves from the diplomatic cold in which they stuck themselves when they turned to the UN, against the wishes of the US, and they will be further encouraged to cling to their positions, which until now have frustraed the renewal of negotiations.”
