ISRAEL’S CHANNEL 10 REVEALS SOME DETAILS OF KERRY’S PLAN
Israel’s Channel 10 revealed last night what it claimed were “details and broad guidelines” for US Secretary of State John Kerry’s plan that he proposed to the negotiating parties. The channel described the plan as “weak and general”, which has more than on interpretation in order to allow both sides to claim that they achieved what they were seeking and therefore market it to their people as a victory. It seems as though Netanyahu understood that any final solution would include the words “1967 borers” along with the phrase “land swap of equal size and value” which would allow the Palestinians to claim that the swap was on a 1-1 ratio basis and would receive a meter in exchange for every meter they relinquished in the West Bank in other areas. Netanyahu, meanwhile can claim that he succeeded in maintaining the equivalent of 90% of the area of settlements in the West Bank.
As for the notion of the capital for two states, Kerry proposed, according to Channel 10, a general and loosely-tied formula that speaks about two capitals in “Greater Jerusalem” which would allow the Palestinians to announced that they got their capital in East Jerusalem while Israel could say that the Palestinian capital for them is in Abu Dis.
Other points of the plan, put forth by Kerry and General Allen can also be seen from a number of aspects, such as “the Palestinians will agree that there will be no flooding of refugees into Israel in exchange for no permanent Israeli presence at the borders of the Palestinian state.” (http://maannews.net/arb/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=654694)
TEL AVIV’S SECURITY AT FOREFRONT OF KERRY’S TOUR; MAARIV: JORDAN REQUESTS FROM THE US TO AGREE TO MAINTAINING THE ISRAELI ARMY IN THE JORDAN VALLEY
Jordan called on the United States to agree for the Israeli army to remain in the Jordan Valley in spite of the PA’s complete rejection of this Israeli request. According to the Israeli daily Maariv, the Jordanians are pressuring the US to agree to Israel’s position for its army to remain along the River Jordan, saying it was important for the preservation of security in the region. The newspaper also said that Israeli PM Netanyahu strongly rejected any American security solutions in the framework of a permanent solution that did not allow Israel to maintain control over the Jordan Valley and over the airspace in the West Bank after a Palestinian state is established.
In a press conference after his meeting with Netanyahu, Kerry said he had put forth ideas to Israel about maintaining its security in the case it withdraws from parts of the West Bank. Israeli sources yesterday said Israel was planning to seek help from Jordan in order to convince Washington to agree to its military presence in the Jordan Valley. One of Kerry’s proposals was to allow the Israeli army to maintain a presence in the Jordan valley for a limited and conditioned period of time and to also deploy international forces along the Jordanian-Palestinian border and to put security cameras and high tech equipment there to prevent weapons smuggling along the border. The Palestinians, meanwhile, are rejecting any Israeli presence in the Jordan Valley but said they would accept NATO forces to monitor the border. (http://www.alquds.co.uk/?p=110942)
THE PRESIDENT: SETTLEMENTS UNDERMINE EFFORTS TO MAKE NEGOTIATIONS SUCCESSFUL
President Mahmoud Abbas said during his meeting with Secretary Kerry in Ramallah that the goal of negotiations was to reach peace based on the two-state solution and the establishment of a Palestinian state, adding that Israeli settlements on Palestinian land including in occupied Jerusalem undermined US efforts to achieve positive results from these negotiations. He commended the efforts of President Obama in this regard and Kerry in pushing the peace process forward and maintaining the momentum for this process.
Chief negotiator Saeb Erekat, meanwhile said that Abbas and Kerry had met for four hours, more than half of that time in a bilateral meeting, but maintained that the situation was still very difficult and that ”things were still very complicated”. He said that all settlement tenders must be halted for there to be progress, adding that the were now facing “settlement processes instead of a peace process.” Erekat stressed that Kerry did not propose any final solutions during the meeting, denying unnamed Palestinian sources that said the Palestinians has rejected security arrangements within a possible future peace agreement with Israel. He said this was ‘untrue’, adding that the discussions and meetings with the Americans would continue. (Al Quds)
11 ARRESTED IN RAIDS IN BETHLEHEM AND JENIN DISTRICTS
Israeli occupation forces raided the Dheisheh refugee camp south of Bethlehem yesterday, breaking into homes and arresting a 60-year old man just hours after arresting his son at the Tunnel checkpoint in Beit Jala. Three others were arrested from the same area. In Beit Fujjar, after rounding up the men in the village, Israeli forces arrested two youths and a boy. In Qabatya three young men were arrested. (Al Quds)
ECONOMIC UNITY COUNCIL CALLS ON ARAB COUNTRIES TO ABIDE BY FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS TO PALESTINE
The Arab economic unity council called yesterday on Arab states to abide by their financial commitments towards the State of Palestine according to Arab League resolutions in this regard, especially it said since Palestine was suffering from a financial crisis preventing them from paying its civil servants. The council confirmed at the end of its meeting, headed by Sudan, the Arab nature of Jerusalem and their rejection of Israel’s occupation measures, namely its settlement enterprise and the measures in Jerusalem and Al Aqsa, calling on UNESCO to assume its responsibilities towards this. (Al Quds)
GAZA: DEATH SENTENCE HANDED DOWN TO MAN CHARGED WITH BEING AN INFORMANT WITH ISRAEL
A deposed Gaza government military court handed down a sentence yesterday of death by hanging to a prisoner charged with being an informant with the Israeli security services, according to Al Ra’i, the official news agency of the Hamas-run government in Gaza. According to the news agency, the military court in Gaza sentenced (A.K) to death by hanging, saying he was an informant with ‘the Zionist enemy.” The Hamas government carried out its first executions back in 2010 when it put to death two men charged with collaboration with Israel. According to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights in Gaza, the Hamas government has issued 30 death sentences since the PA was established in 1994 and has carried out 17 of them in Gaza since 2007. (eight on charges of collaboration with Israel and nine for public crimes). All of the executions have been carried out without the approval of President Abbas. (Al Ayyam)
GROUND CRACKS IN SILWAN BECAUSE OF ISRAELI EXCAVATIONS
Yesterday morning, the resident of Silwan in Jerusalem woke to large cracks and landslides on the main road in Wadi Hilweh because of Israeli excavations in the area. According to the Wadi Hilwa information center, the cracks are 30 meters long with more cracks and breaks in the Ein Silwan area, which Israeli municipality teams have shut off to the residents. Silwan residents say municipality teams claimed that ‘sewage pipes” were to blame even though the people say the pipes were installed a year and a half ago. Rather, they say the cracks happen every year when it rains because of digging works carried out by the settlement group Elad and the Israel antiquities authority underneath their homes. There is also an underground tunnel beneath the area where the ground collapses took place, which links to Moroccan Gate. They also said that the floor of a classroom in one of the UNRWA schools in Silwan collapsed. (Al Ayyam)
MUSTAPHA: THE ENERGY BILL COMPRISES ONE-FOURTH OF THE ECONOMY AND 60% OF THE COMMERICAL BUDGET DEFICIT
Deputy prime minister for economic affairs Mohammed Mustapha said the energy bill was around 2.5 billion a year and comprised one-fourth of the Palestinian economy ($10 billion) and around 60% of the commercial budget deficit which has reached around $3.5 to $4 billion. Mustapha said yesterday that the electricity bill was around $700 million while the fuel byproducts were $1.7 billion, adding that if there was renewed economic movement, these numbers would double, which would have a positive impact on the financial situation and help with self-reliance and lowering the deficit. Mustapha spoke about the major projects planned in the next few years that would improve the energy situation in Palestine, including the export of Palestinian gas from Gaza wells, which was halted because of Israeli hindrances. He said the current political climate however, was giving positive signs that this project ‘could see the light of day soon.” http://www.alhayat-j.com/newsite/details.php?opt=2&id=222631&cid=3146
CUTS IN 12,000 EMPLOYEES’ SALARIES; FINANCE MINISTRY EXPLAINS WHY
Government employees in Gaza complained that cuts were made to their salaries, which they received yesterday. One citizen said NIS500 were taken from his salary without knowing why. The employees have called on union head Bassam Zakarneh to explain to employees in the Gaza Strip about what they called a disregard of their rights.
A statement issued by the finance ministry last night said that, upon directives from President Mahmoud Abbas, it had cut the “supervisory bonus” and ‘transportation costs” from employees who do not show up to work in the West Bank and Gaza. The ministry said these cuts did not affect the basic salary, which the government is paying regularly. They also said that once the employee proves that they are at their workplaces, the bonuses would be returned. Employees are calling the decision ‘unfair’ given that the government called on them in 2007 to stop going to work after Hamas too over the Strip, saying they were just abiding by PA orders.

HAMAS ORGANIZES POPULAR MARCHES IN GAZA ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF ITS INCEPTION
Hamas decided to organize massive marches in the Gaza Strip on the 26th anniversary of its inception on December 10 after it canceled a central festival because of the tough economic situation in Gaza. Hamas official Ashraf Abu Zayid said the movement was preparing for the marches next week to mark the 26th anniversary of its inception, saying Friday December 13 would be a day of popular support for the program of resistance followed by Hamas and its military wing.

DEMONSTRATION IN BEER SHEVA AGAINST THE PRAWER PLAN; DEMANDS ON KERRY TO HALT IT
Arab Knesset members sent a telegraph to US Secretary of State John Kerry calling on him to intervene in the Prawer plan to halt it, calling it a plan of ethnic cleansing. Hundreds of Palestinians from the Negev participated in a demonstration in front of the courthouse in Beer Sheva yesterday protesting the Prawer plan and for the release of prisoners detained during the third Day of Rage at the Hura junction. More than 1,500 people protested under the slogan “Freedom to the prisoners” and “The people want the plan to fall” (http://www.alhayat-j.com/newsite/details.php?opt=2&id=222630&cid=3146)

Hamas and Fatah pay respects to Mandela
Fatah and Hamas offered their condolences today over the death of former South African President Nelson Mandela, the symbol of freedom over apartheid, who died yesterday in his home at the age of 95. Deputy Hamas chief Mousa Abu Marzouq wrote on his Facebook page: “Today the freedom fighter Mandela, passed away, one of the most significant symbols of liberation in the world.” Abu Marzouq also said that Mandela was one of the most important supporters of our people’s cause and this Mandela’s cause was much like that of Palestine. When Mandela read the Oslo Accords at the time they were signed, he was quoted as saying “I was offered an agreement such as this 30 years ago and I declined.”
Fatah also offered its condolences, saying Mandela was a ‘great friend of the Palestinians”, adding that “we share the sorrows of the people of South Africa on the passing of this world leader.”
President Abbas has called for one day of mourning, with flags to fly at half-mast. (http://safa.ps/details/news/117615/حماس-وفتح-تنعيان-مانديلا.html)
Checkpoint to be removed in Hebron upon American orders
According to the Israeli daily Maariv today, an Israeli military checkpoint will soon be removed from the entrance to Beit Anoun in Hebron. According to the newspaper, the opening of this axis is indicative of direct American intervention given that USAID has several projects in that area. An Israeli military spokesperson said that according to security estimations, the checkpoint would be removed and that the security of settlers would not be harmed, adding that safeguarding their security was still a primary priority for the army. Head of the Kiryat Arba regional council meanwhile, said that the plan to open the checkpoint was mostly American, saying that in the end “we have obligations towards the Americans, which we must fulfill.” (http://www.alquds.com/news/article/view/id/476777)

What helps Israel expand
By: George S. Hishmeh
For the first time, an audio-visual exhibition — titled “The long journey” and described as “powerful and haunting” — of Palestinian refugees whose homeland had been usurped by Israel has been launched by a United Nations agency in Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem, which Palestinians hope will serve as the capital of their future state.
The exhibition consists of a “comprehensive compilation” of over half a million archived negatives, print, slides and hundreds of hours of film, all collected since the 1948 Nakbeh, (Arabic for catastrophe) until the present time. (A website is also available: http://archive.unrwa.org/license/home.unrwa.do)
“This is an important piece of work,” Filippo Grandi, till recently the commissioner general of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), which has taken care of the five million refugees since 1949.
“It is a contribution to building a national heritage for the Palestinians,” he added, according to The New York Times, which reported that “the refugee issue remains one of the most delicate and complex elements of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict” since the United Nations had sanctioned the refugees’ “right of return” to their homeland.
Israel consistently refuses to grant them this right.
The timing of this event highlighted another regional problem, the continued bloodletting in the Arab world after the start of the Arab Spring, more than two years ago, and the refugee problem that emerged, especially in Syria where reportedly some two million Syrians fled to neighbouring states — Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey — and more recently to Europe.
The Times, which has recently devoted almost two full pages to the problem, described the Syrian exodus as “one of the gravest global refugee crises of recent decades”.
Disappointing in this respect is the failure of other Arab states to step in and help handle the refugee problem, as well as the deteriorating security situation in many of the neighbouring states: Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Libya and Turkey.
It is time that the Arab League step forward and help negotiate a settlement everywhere, especially that these crises are going to hurt the new generation in the region since many of them, as is the case in Syria, are missing education.
These inter- or intra-Arab crises allow Israel to pursue its expansionist policies and mistreatment of its Arab community, which numbers more than 25 per cent of its population.
The so-called Prawer plan, named after Ehud Prawer, head of policy and planning in the Israeli Cabinet, aims at relocating some 40,000 to 70,000 Arab bedouins from their ancestral homelands in the Naqab desert, in southern Israel.
The plan is part of a long-term strategic effort to “Judaise” the area by increasing the Jewish population and would include the demolition of 35 “unrecognised” bedouin villages. The plan is expected to receive final parliamentary approval following a second and third reading shortly.
More than 50 public figures in Britain, including high-profile artists, musicians and writers, have put their names to a letter opposing Israel’s attempt at forcibly removing Palestinian bedouins — an act condemned, as reported The Guardian, as “ethnic cleansing”.
Protests, called the “Day of rage”, erupted on November 30 inside Israel and in the West Bank, Jerusalem and other Arab countries, as well as in Europe.
At the same time, the heads of Arab Councils in northern Israel were angered by recent Israeli plans to establish Jewish towns and expand rural communities in the Galilee region in an effort, reported Haaretz, to achieve demographic balance with the area’s Arab population. The Arab population in Israel numbers about one quarter of Israel’s Jewish population.
The objective is to bring 100,000 new Jewish residents to the Galilee region by providing housing options “that will attract a stable Jewish population and create a meaningful demographic balance”, according to a letter the Settlement Division sent to the urban planning firms.
Additionally, Israeli forces demolished four houses and eight agricultural structures in the southern Jordan Valley, leaving at least 50 Palestinians homeless.
The Jordan Valley forms roughly a third of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, with 94 per cent of the area off limits to Palestinian use and development, Maan News reports. In fact, Israel has declared around 56 per cent of the total area to be part of a closed military region.
These events will no doubt mar the upcoming visit of US Secretary of State John Kerry.
Susan E. Rice, US national security adviser, told the Middle East Institute recently that the US is “seeing increased tensions on the ground [in Israel]”, adding: “Some of this is a result of recent settlement announcements, so let me reiterate that the United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity.”
She stressed: “This is not new. This has been US policy over decades and multiple administrations. The only way to resolve these kinds of critical issues is at the negotiating table.”(http://www.amin.org/articles.php?t=ENews&id=4317)
Kerry will not succeed in Palestine talks
By Gulf News
There is a dangerous optimism in the US State Department that the current America-backed talks on Palestine will come to something. Regardless of the diplomats’ hopes, the reality is that the two sides are far apart and the Israelis show no sign of wanting to move as they steadily continue to build new Israeli homes on the West Bank. It is profoundly depressing that as the next round of talks is about to start, the Israelis have just approved more housing to be built. The number of projects on the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem has jumped by more than 130 per cent in one year to a total of 2,100 apartments.
These realities on the ground make it impossible for US Secretary of State, John Kerry, to make any progress this week, when he intervenes directly for the first time in six months and meets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Kerry will find that they are so far apart that they have not even met since July and that there is little to encourage anything different.
An indication of the desperation attached to these talks is how some Palestinians have used the success of the Geneva II talks with Iran as a role model for how to move forward on Palestine, with the international community acting in concert and willing to use sanctions. In fact, nothing is less likely as no one in Washington will think of Tel Aviv as being even remotely similar to Tehran.
The Palestinians from the West Bank led by Abbas have said that they will abide by the American talks for a total of nine months, but if no progress is made by the end of this period in April, then they will go back to the United Nations to seek broader recognition for the Palestinian state, trying to further isolate Israel.
Sadly, however, no matter how much international condemnation is poured on Israel, it will come to nothing unless the Americans agree to apply pressure. Their blind support for Israel has allowed Netanyahu to take his current dangerous course and that has to change before any progress can be made.(http://gulfnews.com/opinions/editorials/kerry-will-not-succeed-in-palestine-talks-1.1263675)
Abbas hails Mandela's commitment to Palestinian cause
Agence France Presse
RAMALLAH: Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas paid tribute Friday to Nelson Mandela's commitment to his people's cause as he mourned the South African liberation icon.
"This is a great loss for all the peoples of the world, and for Palestine," Abbas said, hailing a "symbol of freedom from colonialism and occupation."
Mandela, who first visited Israel and the Palestinian territories in 1999, was an ardent supporter of the Palestinian cause and a champion for Middle East peace.
"The Palestinian people will never forget his historic statement that the South African revolution will not have achieved its goals as long as the Palestinians are not free," Abbas said.
He described Mandela as the "most courageous and important of those who supported us."
Many Palestinians have taken inspiration from Mandela's successful struggle against apartheid in their decades-long struggle to end Israeli occupation and settlement of the West Bank.
"The name Mandela will stay forever with Palestine and with all Palestinians," Abbas said.(http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Middle-East/2013/Dec-06/240102-abbas-hails-mandelas-commitment-to-palestinian-cause.ashx#axzz2mgUNel00)

Opinions
Israeli” Security
Al Khaleej Editorial
US Secretary of State John Kerry is visiting the occupied territories to discuss more than one file. It seems one of this most important of these is an evaluation of the Zionist entity’s security in light of recent developments. But what are the developments that are forcing the United States to discuss Israel security? This yields many reasons that may affect Israeli security but which all originate from one concept from the Israeli leadership, which is what situation could affect its perspective on resolving the Palestinian cause – because anyone who does not see things from its perspective, or condemns its violations or opposes its policies, is seen as a threat to its security.
And because it does not want to change its perspective on a political solution, it can only be concerned over its security. And because it is obsessed with security, it can only do two things: increase its arms both qualitatively and quantitatively; or increase its efforts to break down those it feels are a threat to it. The United States has humored Israel throughout the decades in its perspective and has even promoted it when it could have made changes to it. Contrary to their various inclinations, Zionist leaders have maintained one fixed position, which is to achieve the goals of the Zionist state, which can be summed up with eliminating the Palestinian cause; this cause, which ups the dangers to the existence of the state in the presence and the future.
They are not thinking about changing this fixed position because they want others to change instead, that is, to commit political and existential suicide. They have no room to compromise from a teleological point of view even if there are opportunities open for political maneuvering.
The security dimension of Kerry’s visit may be consistent with Israeli thinking, which means more weapons and more plans to break up the area under the illusion that this will safeguard Israel from what it considers to be glaring dangers.
However, has it occurred to American officials to get out of the box of confinement that they have put themselves in and think outside of it? That is, instead of seeking to safeguard an expansionist colonialist and barbaric entity from threats, they should put efforts into changing its nature, which could then lead to the possibility of achieving a political settlement in the region. Continuing to think inside this box could mean that the Zionist entity avoids these risks in the short and mid-term but not in the long run for sure. Changing the nature of this entity would give it a much better chance of avoiding these dangers.
The continued killing of Palestinians, the constant usurpation of their land and resources and the tireless efforts to eradicate their existence will only increase these risks. The Palestinians cannot disappear from existence just because the Zionists want this, just as much as the Arabs cannot be content with the existence of this murderous state.

Administrative detention is a punishment that must be cancelled
Al Quds Editorial
Palestinian administrative detainees in Israeli jails continue to fight against this inhumane and illegal punishment, which reminds us that this punitive measure falls outside any framework of contemporary legislation. It was imposed during the British Mandate to oppress Palestinian Arabs and was not listed in British laws enacted at the time or at present in the UK.
Even in Israel it is not applied; administrative detention has never been handed down to any Israeli Jew, which perhaps points to its racist nature since the Mandate imposed it. Israeli authorities took this punishment from the horrible legacy of the mandate and applied it to Palestinian citizens who they suspect – only suspect – are active against the occupation without having sufficient evidence to try them or imprison them within the context of an official judicial system.
In light of this information, Israel’s insistence on applying this punishment on Palestinians merely on suspicion that they constitute a ‘threat’ to their security, goes again all international and humanitarian laws. It is considered behavior contradictory to justice and which should be stopped and cancelled, stricken from unofficial law in Israel, which should not be allowed to apply double standards in this regard. There is supposed to be equality in justice without discrimination between Jews and Arabs, at least if Israel really wants to prove it is concerned with justice and equality among all.
Justice, in its simplest of terms, entails that any defendant must before a court of law and conclusive evidence, if it exists, must be brought against them. Hence, the nature of administrative detention and the patterns of detention over the past 47 years of the occupation, indicate that the absence of such evidence is the main reason behind imposing administrative detention those Israel suspects are ‘threats” – thus barring any opportunity to allow these prisoners to defend themselves before any sentence is handed down to them.
The fact of the matter is that administrative detainees are not brought before any court because Israeli authorities have not found any evidence to incriminate them. Therefore, the issue of administrative detention must be given the appropriate attention from rights groups and international forces that care about justice, law and the respect for human rights to freedom and dignity. These forces must work to cancel this order and secure the release of all detainees who suffer under it.
It is the responsibility of the PA, furthermore, to put this issue at the forefront of its priorities, alongside its attention to the issue of prisoners as a whole. Truth is, the prisoner issue in general and that of administrative detainees in particular, have not been given the sufficient attention to internationalize it and therefore turn it over to international agencies and organizations of relevance.
The question is: when will this case, along with several other cases pertaining to Israeli occupation measures against the Palestinians, be transferred to these international organizations? This is with the knowledge that Palestine becoming a non-member state at the UN allows it to make such a move. It is necessary, given Israel’s insistence on continuing its settlement enterprise, on the one hand, and not closing the file of prisoners and continuing to impose administrative detention on the other.
