		Yishai's plan, which has the backing of the Shin Bet - the security service provided him with the information on the three - was pilloried by left-wing politicians, who said it would not withstand legal scrutiny and would sever the last remaining strands of trust between Jews and Arabs in Israel.
		Tibi wondered whether Yishai would apply the same standards to Jews who were accused of harming state security, such as convicted nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu, or a group of residents from the West Bank settlement of Adura recently arrested on suspicion of selling arms to Palestinians.
		Seemingly unperturbed by the possible social fall-out of his new plan, Yishai said he intends to continue with his efforts to "prevent (terror) attacks" by initiating legislation that would enable the interior minister to lift the civil rights of someone who cooperated with terrorists.

	israelinsider: politics: Yeshiva draft deferment issue may delay coalition
		Yishai insisted that the Knesset pass special legislation or the recommendations of the Tal Commission to codify the draft deferments currently being extended to yeshiva students.
		Analysts speculated that the request, which was not denied by the Awakening spokesman, was either intended to provide a principled means for Barak to "climb down" from his commitment to the national unity coalition or was a tactical move to extract additional concessions from Sharon.
		Yishai warned Labor not to use the yeshiva student issue as an excuse to stop the unity government.

	Ha'aretz - Article
		Yishai based his decision to close the paper on a British Mandate-era law - Article 19(2)(a) of the 1933 Press Ordinance - that had been virtually a dead letter ever since the Supreme Court's verdict in the Kol Ha'am case in 1953.
		Yishai says the closure order was issued "at the demand of the Shin Bet security service, in coordination with the prime minister and with the approval of the State Prosecutor's Office." This is not a convincing argument.
		On the contrary: Yishai appears to be wrapping himself in the broad mantle of these agencies and ducking his personal responsibility.

		Sharon, who is tired of relying on the rebellious MKs in his party, met with Shas chairman Eli Yishai at the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem on Thursday afternoon, in an effort to bring Shas's 11 MKs into the coalition and render the 13 rebels irrelevant.

	israelinsider: politics: Yishai considering revoking citizenship of Israeli Arabs linked to terror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Interior Minister Eli Yishai is considering revoking the citizenship of two Israeli Arab citizens and canceling the permanent residency status of a third Arab, on the grounds that all three harmed state security.
		Yishai was evasive when asked if he would consider the same steps against Jewish Israelis who had supplied weapons to Palestinian terrorists.
		Yishai said that he is considering canceling Abu Kishak and Obeid's citizenship under paragraph 11 (B) of the Citizenship Law (1952), according to which, "the Interior Minister may cancel the Israeli citizenship of anyone who has committed an act which constitutes a breach of trust with the State of Israel."

	Ultra
		Yishai said that, in the interim, his ministry would delay identity card listings of non-Orthodox converts, allowing time for new legislation to be prepared.
		Yishai and MK Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism) were reportedly preparing a joint resolution that would state that only people who had undergone a conversion recognized by the Chief Rabbinate, the country's leading Orthodox authority, would be listed as Jewish in the nationality clause on identity cards and in the population registry.
		Yishai called the High Court ruling "a scandalous decision, that is likely to wreak disaster on the Jewish people." Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau said the court's decision would give approval to "fictitious conversions" and would lead to divisions within Israeli society, at a time when unity was needed more than ever.
