Re independent IP: 195.152.54.* 10.06.03, 09:00 Israel dismantles first settler outposts under peace plan By Justin Huggler in Jerusalem 10 June 2003 The Israeli army yesterday dismantled at least two settler outposts in the West Bank, in the first step that Israel has taken to implement the "road-map" peace plan backed by the United States. Last week, under the gaze of President George Bush at the summit in Aqaba, Ariel Sharon the Israeli Prime Minister, promised to evacuate the outposts. In response, angry Jewish settlers pledged to take over 10 new hilltops in the West Bank for every outpost that is dismantled. But the removal of the two outposts shows how little Mr Sharon has pledged to do so far. Neve Erez South consisted of just two empty caravans on a hillside near the Palestinian city of Ramallah, according to the Israeli pressure group Peace Now. Armona, near the settlement of Ofra, was a water tower, which the Israeli army took down yesterday. Both outposts were uninhabited. What Mr Sharon pledged to remove were not established settlements - full-scale towns that carve up the West Bank and Gaza Strip where Palestinians want to establish their state, which is called for under the "road-map". He promised only to remove "unauthorised outposts" such as Neve Erez South and Armona. For any peace deal to work, Israel would almost certainly have to remove at least some of the established settlements as well. All the settlements are illegal under international law because they are built on occupied land. But the outposts are illegal under Israeli law as well because they were put up without government permission. They are set up by militant Jewish settlers to establish "facts on the ground" - a Jewish presence that will make it hard for any Palestinian state to be set up in the West Bank. Mr Sharon himself urged settlers to "seize the hilltops" and scupper the Oslo peace process before he was elected Prime Minister. But now, under pressure from Mr Bush, who said last week that the settlements must be "dealt with", the Israeli Prime Minister is moving against the settlers. Under the road-map, Israel is supposed to dismantle all the outposts put up since Mr Sharon became Prime Minister in March 2001. According to Israeli media reports, a list of just 15 settler outposts has been drawn up to be dismantled in the first phase - far fewer than the 62 that have been set up in the past two years, according to Peace Now. The group says there are 102 outposts that are illegal under Israeli law, with about 1,000 inhabitants. However, only four of those scheduled to be dismantled are inhabited. But settlers, who marched in their thousands in Jerusalem last week to protest against Mr Sharon's speech at Aqaba, have reacted furiously. When the Israeli army tried to dismantle an outpost last October, under pressure from the opposition Labour Party, which was then in a coalition with Mr Sharon, there were violent confrontations. Settlers attacked Israeli soldiers who were trying to remove the outpost. There were no such scenes yesterday. Most settler leaders urged their followers not to use violence against soldiers. But the spokesman for the settlers' Yesha Council, Yehoshua Mor-Yosef, said: "If we are evacuated, we'll return the night after and establish 10 new outposts." Adi Mintz, the head of the Yesha Council, said: "We see this as the beginning of an attempt to destroy the settlement project." One leader, Pinchas Wallerstein, urged settlers to fight the soldiers. "I will recommend that my friends do not, in any shape or form, co-operate," he said, adding that he recommended "fighting it with full force". By angering the settlers, Mr Sharon is upsetting one of his key constituencies. But many more Israelis are prepared to give up outposts as well as established settlements for peace, according to a poll published yesterday. The poll, conducted by Tel Aviv University, found that 59 per cent of Israelis were prepared to give up all but the main settlement blocs, and 56 per cent would support a unilateral withdrawal from the occupied territories in order to cement a peace accord. Meanwhile, the Palestinian Prime Minister, Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, said at his first press conference that he would stick to the pledge he made at Aqaba despite opposition from Palestinian militant groups. Three militant groups, including the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, which have links to the ruling Fatah party, jointly attacked an Israeli army post and killed four soldiers on Sunday in a direct challenge to Abu Mazen's pledge to end the "armed intifada". But Abu Mazen said yesterday that he would not order a crackdown against the militants and urged them to resume talks on a ceasefire. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

Re: Guardian IP: 195.152.54.* 10.06.03, 09:05 Chris McGreal in Amonah, West Bank Tuesday June 10, 2003 The Guardian Hundreds of Israeli settlers fanned out across a hillside to block the army from tearing down trailer homes at Amonah, stalling Ariel Sharon's pledge to dismantle dozens of illegal Jewish outposts in the West Bank. The soldiers were sent in after the army command failed to persuade settlers to voluntarily tear down outposts as part of Mr Sharon's commitment at last week's summit with President George Bush and the Palestinian prime minister. But it was apparent at Amonah that the troops were half-hearted and the settlers forewarned. Loudspeakers in the neighbouring established settlement of Ofrah called on residents to climb the hills in defence of Amonah, which is home to dozens of settlers. Among them was Rifkah Ben-Meir with her five-year- old son in tow. "Once they start pulling this down, it'll go on and on until we all have to leave," she said. "The people who live here are here to defend Israel. We are here for idealistic reasons so we cannot just give up." A few hours earlier the military bulldozed two uninhabited shacks on another hillside, at Neve Erez. Soldiers pulled down a disused water tower on a neighbouring hill at Amonah. But the military showed an unusual restraint, that would come as a surprise to many Palestinians, when confronted by large numbers of teenagers, mothers with babies in their arms and a few dozen well-armed men. One American settler was overheard to say that if the army had been serious about tearing down the outpost it would have sent "10 times as many soldiers, and not these reservists but real riot police". Earlier in the day the Israeli defence minister, Shaul Mofaz, presented settler leaders with a list of 15 outposts the army planned to dismantle, four of them inhabited. But a spokesman for the settlers, Yehoshua Mor-Yosef, said they refused to cooperate. "If we are evacuated we will return the night after and establish 10 new outposts," he said. Mr Sharon said he would not be diverted from his commitment. "This is the policy I have decided on and I will implement it." The Palestinian prime minister, Mahmoud Abbas, dismissed the dismantling of a few outposts yesterday as largely irrelevant so long as Israel continues to say it intends to hold on to established settlements that are home to about 200,000 Jews living in the West Bank and Gaza. "Our position is clear: no settlements on our land within 1967 borders," he said. Mr Abbas, who is better known as Abu Mazen, was fighting to stave off a barrage of accusations that he made too many concessions at the summit in Aqaba to kick- start the US-led road map to a Palestinian state. The most vocal criticism has come from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, which launched a rare joint attack on Sunday, killing four Israeli soldiers at the crossing from Israel into the Gaza strip and another in Hebron. Hamas said the attacks were a rejection of Mr Abbas's speech at the summit because he declared an end to the intifada. The Palestinian prime minister yesterday accused Hamas and the other groups of playing into Israeli hands by trying to provoke a military confrontation. But he said he would not stray from seeking dialogue. "The suffering of the Palestinian people is not a subject for propaganda. Our suffering needs a solution and not incitement," he said. "For us, there is no alternative to dialogue. Dialogue is our choice." However, Mr Abbas was evidently less concerned with the threat from Hamas than with the political impact of unrest within Fatah and the Palestinian leadership at the tone of his statement in Aqaba and the lack of commitment from Israel in return. There has been criticism of his renunciation of the armed intifada and his description of it as terrorism without balancing his comments by justifying resistance to occupation. "The Israelis really wanted the word 'terrorism' in the statement. Abu Mazen could have used 'killing of civilians', but the Americans pressed him," said one PLO official. "The problem is that in the next breath he calls for an end to the armed intifada. It sounded as though he was delegitimising the intifada, comparing it to terrorism rather than exerting the Palestinians' legal right to resist a very brutal occupation. "There are senior people in Fatah who are very unhappy about this. It's Oslo all over again. We jump through the hoops like trained circus animals while the Israelis wheedle out of their commitments." Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

Re: daily telegraph IP: 195.152.54.* 10.06.03, 09:17 Israel begins to remove settlements By Alan Philps in Jerusalem (Filed: 10/06/2003) The Israeli army began dismantling wildcat settler outposts on the West Bank yesterday, meeting one condition of the 'road map' peace plan but prompting howls of protest from the Right. The army gave settler leaders a list of 15 illegal outposts which are to be evacuated and asked for their co-operation. But they promised to oppose the removals by all means short of violence. Israeli settlers resist all moves to remove them from their homes Troops began with a soft target - an outpost called Neve Erez South, which consists of a couple of uninhabited caravans on a hill east of the Palestinian town of Ramallah. The two caravans were crushed by bulldozers without opposition. News of the start of the operation sparked an alert in the settlement of Ofra, one of the oldest on the West Bank, where loudspeakers called on residents to go to a nearby hill to defend an outpost. Hundreds of settlers, some of them armed, headed for the hill, but it was unclear whether the army intended to move against it. >>>Of the 15 outposts listed for destruction only four are inhabited, the rest being markers for future settlement.<<<< Adi Mintz, head of the Yesha council, which represents 200,000 settlers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, said: "We see this as the beginning of an attempt to destroy the settlement project in Judea and Samaria" - the terms used by settlers for the West Bank. At the weekend, Ariel Sharon, the Israeli prime minister, who has championed the settlers' cause for decades, was booed by the far Right at a meeting of his Likud party when he reminded them that he had always promised to make "painful concessions" for peace. This first step, however, is largely symbolic, involving the removal of only a handful of residents. If the new peace plan endorsed at a United States-Israeli-Palestinian summit last week is implemented, Mr Sharon will have to remove some long-established settlements in order to make good his promise to provide the Palestinians with a state. But Tsahi Hanegbi, the public security minister and a senior member of Likud, said yesterday that he did not envisage any established settlements being evacuated over the next four years. Predictions that the "road map" will fail have gathered strength since the major Palestinian armed factions rejected outright the call for a ceasefire made by the new prime minister, Mahmoud Abbas. Mr Abbas is looking increasingly isolated and impotent in Palestinian society. At a news conference yesterday he could offer no magic solution to the revolt of the militant groups. He said he would never outlaw them, but could not force them into talking to him. "The only alternative to dialogue is dialogue," he said. But patience with Mr Abbas was running out yesterday. In Washington, Ari Fleischer, the White House spokesman, said that the militant groups the Palestinian leadership was failing to control were "enemies to peace". "These enemies not only take the lives of Israelis, they are a threat to the creation of a Palestinian state," he said. Leaders of Hamas, the powerful Islamic Resistance Movement, rejected his call for new talks, saying Mr Abbas had offered nothing new Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

Re: haaretz daily IP: 195.152.54.* 10.06.03, 09:30 Hundreds block IDF path to Gilad Farm outpost By Nadav Shragai and Aluf Benn, Haaretz Correspondents, Haaretz Service and Agencies After IDF troops the first 10 of an initial 15 illegal West Bank settlement outposts, hundreds of settlers blocked the army's path to the flashpoint Gilad Farm, one of four populated outposts that had been slated for removal Tuesday along with one unpopulated site. The Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order forbidding the state from demolishing Gilad Farm. The petition, to which the government must submit a response by 2 P.M., presents documents in a bid to prove that members of Zar family, who live at the site, legally own the land and live their under official authorization. >>>>The 10 outposts levelled on Monday night and Tuesday were all unpopulated. Five inhabited outposts were to have been cleared Tuesday: Beit El Mizrach, Nofei Nehemia, "693," next to Yitzhar, Sh'vei Shomron to the west, and Gilad Farm - which has been evacuated four times in the past, most recently in October 2002, when it was the site of violent clashes between settlers and evacuating forces. Hundreds of rightists, many of them yeshiva students from Jerusalem, converged on Beit El Mizrach Tuesday morning in an effort to prevent soldiers from evacuating the site. The IDF evacuation effort, dubbed Operation Naked Hilltop, could last for several days. Military sources said that the army intends to remove a total of 94 outposts in the near future. On Monday and overnight, evacuations had proceded without any major incidents, but hundreds of settlers - including many children - came to the West Bank outpost of Amona, northeast of Ramallah, and attempted to prevent the movement of military forces and formed a human blockade to prevent IDF trucks from moving. Settler leaders have expressed severe opposition to the evacuation, and the National Religious Party and National Union have called an additional massive evacuation of inhabited outposts a "red line" that would compel them to leave the government. The Yesha Council, which represents settlers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, said Monday night that five outposts will go up for every one removed. The Yesha rabbinical council called on the public to flock to outposts scheduled for evacuation to protest the move, and called on security forces to reconsider the morality of the directives they received. They fell short of telling soldiers to disobey army orders to evacuate outposts. The West Bank outposts where troops removed several empty trailers and other structures included South Neveh Erez, east of Ramallah; Shaharit, which is located next to the Ariel settlement; and Neve Menachem, next to Karnei Shomron. A guard tower was also removed from North Amona, next to the settlement of Ofra, northeast of Ramallah. The move was hailed by Washington. But Palestinian officials greeted it with derision. "This is a theatrical and insignificant step," said Nabil Abu Rdainah, a top aide to Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat. Industry and Trade Minister Ehud Olmert (Likud) told Army Radio on Tuesday that he didn't understand what all the fuss was about. Those who object to the evacuations "are becoming excessively hysterical," he said. "We're talking about places that are mostly unpopulated, so what's all this drama?" The army said that many valuable lessons were learned from such evacuation operations in the past, and that this time the IDF is dismantling several outposts simultaneously in different areas, in order to prevent thousands of settlers from gathering at every site to be cleared. "We will do everything we can to torpedo, obstruct, and to prolong this step," said Yesha Council spokesman Yehoshua Mor-Yosef on Monday. He said the prime minister was "cynically and manipulatively" exploiting settlers in an effort to place them in conflict with the IDF. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
