  Summary of Editorials from the Hebrew Press - 25-Feb-2004

Yediot Aharonot, in its second editorial, asks why two top legal advisers have been drafted to Gilad Sharon's defense team, if everything is in order as the family claims.
Yediot Aharonot, in its third editorial, comments that the discussion on the security fence at the International Court of Justice in The Hague "shows the rare Israeli genius of getting into more and more complicated situations."

 israelinsider: diplomacy: Sharon says reports of Peres peace plan baseless
But according to the Yediot Aharonot report, written by veteran correspondent Nahum Barnea, "Sharon knows the wording of the proposal, and he allowed Peres to bring it up in his discussions with the Palestinians." According to the paper, Peres told associates on Thursday that he had shown the proposal to Sharon.
According to Barnea's report, Yediot Aharonot received a copy of the one-page draft of an interim agreement negotiated by Peres and the Palestinians.
Yediot Aharonot stated that Sharon did not see much potential in Peres's proposal as the basis for an agreement with the Palestinians.

Haaretz writes: "Anyone who was taken by surprise by the appalling testimonies published in Yediot Aharonot last Friday about the mutilation of bodies of Palestinian militants and of innocent victims, probably assumed that the Israel Defense Forces is the world's most ethical army.
But the IDF is, in fact, like every other occupying force, and the belief that "it can't happen here" is the result both of ignorance and of turning a blind eye to what actually goes on in the territories...
Yediot Aharonot says that, "Israel needs a social 'Operation Defensive Shield'; poverty is like terrorism - where it flourishes, economies don't."

The Hebrew Yediot Aharonot, for example, is the most widely read newspaper amongst both native Hebrew and native Arabic speakers.
Like Yediot Aharonot, the paper has a tabloid format and no daily editorial, although its columnists are generally regarded as taking a centre-right line.
With an editorial line to the left of Yediot Aharonot and Maariv, Israel's daily of record is strongly secular, and moderate on security and foreign policy issues.

Yediot Aharonot published a long commentary on Jan. 8 about Free Processing Zones, which was really a classified ad for the paper: If you are functionally illiterate and have no interest in current events as they actually are, there may be a job for you at Yediot.
Eshet charged among other things that Israel already has a free trade zone in Eilat and does not need more such “nonsense” further north; that this new FPZ wants state subsidies; that it was supposed to be exempt from laws protecting the environment; and that it wanted land to build the zone on, practically free.
All of which Eshet would know is false, had he bothered to read the FPZ law as passed by the Knesset or the FPZ concession or had he talked to any of the potential investors.

The pirating of the Palestinian olive harvest is less a financial exercise — a quarter of an acre yields no more than a paltry $170 dollars worth of olive oil — than one geared to intimidate, frustrate and eventually expel local Palestinians from areas close to settlements.
According to the Defense Ministry's contract with the earth moving companies, the trees are to be replanted in a place designated by their owner.
According to Yediot Aharonot, many of the olive pirates are recruited on a Web site established by a movement called "This is Our Land," headed by the radical rightist Moshe Feiglin, who mounted a darkhorse campaign for the Likud leadership this month.

Yediot Aharonot Ltd., Ma’ariv Information Publishing Ltd., and Schocken Chain Ltd. were convicted of publishing advertisements in their newspapers relating to the provision of prostitution services.
The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges, based on various preliminary arguments such as “defense based on justice” and the claim that the indictment sheet was not defined.
Yediot Aharonot added a general remark to its sex ads in the so-called “Hosting” column: “The editors of the column emphasize that advertisements offering prostitution services will not be accepted.” A similar comment also appeared in Ha’ir.

“Israelis voted Sharon,” Arie Shavit concluded in the Jan. 29 Yediot Aharonot, “as a show of contempt to Labor, but they also voted against Oslo.” Gal Ochovski added in the same paper: “Most Israelis suffer from the [security] situation to the point that they have lost their patience.
Still, Yediot’s editors wrote, Likud is afraid: “Likud has rushed to call on the defeated Labor leadership, almost begging them to join them.” The reason for this strange phenomenon, the paper suggested, could be that "Sharon is scared of the possible results of enacting his policies….

The new line of the barrier as approved by the Israeli cabinet in February 20, 2005 reduces the size of Palestinian land to be annexed by the barrier by 2.5%, mainly in the Southern Hebron area, where work is only starting (so the barrier route can still change many times, as the work progresses).

The meeting between Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, and U.S. President George W. Bush was meant to set the stage for the implementation of the “road map,” the guideline for the revival of Palestinian-Israeli peace negotiations backed by the United States, the United Nations, Russia, and the European Union.
Ofer Shelach, writing in Yediot Aharonot on June 9, reacted gloomily to U.S. calls to get the peace process back on track: “Yesterday, the American wise man, U.S. President George W. Bush, echoed Shimon Peres’ remarks from a bygone era, calling on both sides to continue negotiating despite the killings.
In contrast, Yediot Aharonot, in a June 8 editorial, urged the Israeli security forces “to show maximum military restraint in the coming period,” so as not to undercut Abbas.
