E-mail Print

This past week terrorist events focused on the stabbing of an Israeli by a Palestinian in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramot. Two attempted stabbings were prevented at a junction south of Jerusalem and near the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron. For the third consecutive week, no rockets were fired into Israeli territory from the Gaza Strip.

An Israeli Initiative: Expanding on the Quartet Statement

E-mail Print

The September 23, 2011 statement by the Middle East Quartet[1] may prove to be a landmark in the attempts to reach an Israeli-Palestinian agreement. The carefully worded statement is drafted in such a way as to allow it to serve as a basis for both parties to resume negotiations. From the Israeli perspective, the statement is particularly welcome, as it calls on the parties to "resume direct bilateral Israeli-Palestinian negotiations without delay or preconditions."

The Israel-Hamas Prisoner Exchange: From Tactical Failure to Strategic Challenge

E-mail Print

A rational analysis of the agreement signed between Israel and Hamas for the release of Gilad Shalit is best conducted far from the abundant rhetoric, touching photographs, and strong emotions that accompanied the extensive journalistic coverage of the event. In the course of this media event, platitudes and clichés of questionable accuracy were bandied about relentlessly.

Gilad Comes Home

E-mail Print

Editor’s note: Today, Frontpage presents our “Gilad Shalit edition,” which gives a platform to the different perspectives on this most difficult issue. While the article below supports the deal that freed Shalit, Steven Plaut’s piece in today’s issue,The “Prisoner Exchange” Absurdity, opposes it. Jacob Laksin’s Faces of Terror profiles the terrorists who were released for Shalit.

On Monday and Tuesday in Israel all you had to do to experience depths and peaks of emotion was watch TV.   

On Monday, there were pictures of Abed el-Aziz Salha, the Palestinian who joyously held up his bloody hands during the lynch in 2000 of two Israeli soldiers in Ramallah. And of Amana Muna, the Palestinian woman who in 2001 used online impersonation and promises of romance to lure a 16-year-old Israeli boy into a fatal hail of bullets, also near Ramallah.

Don't Release Lady Terrorist Ahlam Ahlam Tamimi, , Proud of Killing 16, including infants

E-mail Print

The government of Israel has agreed to a transaction with the Hamas terrorist regime for the release of an Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, held hostage for more than five years. 

In exchange, Israel is asked to release more than one thousand prisoners, all of them terrorists, many of them convicted murderers who have been sentenced to multi terms of life imprisonment. The list is long, but one terrorist in particular - a woman of 31 - stands out. Her name is Ahlam Tamimi and she is serving 16 life terms for a massacre which she engineered and helped to carry out.

Some of the terrorists had been sentenced to life terms. The agreement will be implemented in two stages. (An initial update of the agreement will be issued separately as a supplement to this bulletin.)

The Palestinian Statehood Bid and US Aid to the Palestinian Authority

E-mail Print

INSS Insight No. 286
When PA President Abbas formally submitted his bid for recognition of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders borders and East Jerusalem as its capital, the PA thereby rejected the requests by the administration not to appeal to the United Nations. Indeed, Abu Mazen completely ignored the United States in his speech before the UN. Moreover, the statehood bid clearly rebuffed warnings by the US Congress, notwithstanding the critical importance of American assistance to the Palestinian.
