Netanyahu Offers Feiglin a Deal
Excerpts:
“Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu ended his efforts to expel right-wing activist Moshe Feiglin from the Likud on Thursday, just two days after he announced a quest to purge the Likud of ‘negative elements.'”
“Netanyahu offered Feiglin a deal whereby he would agree to not expel him from the party in return for Feiglin dropping his race for a slot on the Likud’s Knesset list, Likud sources said.”

Excerpts:
“Following a long dispute, the two factions of the Palestinian Fatah movement has reached an agreement Thursday to unite the group under the leadership of jailed Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, Arab-Israeli weekly al-Sinara reported on Friday.”
“The newspaper has released the details of what it defined as the ‘bargain deal,’ between the rivaling sides, revealing that in the framework of the agreement Barghouti has consented to the movement’s unification in exchange for an effort to persuade the factions to carry on with the state of intra-Palestinian lull set to expire at the end of the month.”

“Israel only operates against Palestinian targets that threaten the country, a senior government official who is very close to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told Ynet Thursday evening.”
“‘We will not be war criminals. Whoever is irresponsible, should go and face (International War Crimes Tribunal in) The Hague,’ the official said in response to the demand made by a number of ministers in the past few days that the IDF should strike Palestinian population concentrations, even at the price of hurting civilians.”

Bibi starting Out on Left Foot
Excerpt:
“Netanyahu would be well advised not employ tactics against Feiglin that were once used against him.”
How well this author remembers watching 60 Minutes back in the US in 1996 and seeing how the left vilified Bibi and identified him as cause of the Rabin assassination. How soon they forget, and now Bibi, in his own insecurities, jealousy and lack of true Nationalist strength and ideology, seeks to do the same to Moshe Feiglin. MB

Netanyahu Bid: Push Off Primaries to Get Feiglin Out
Excerpts;
“Netanyahu has met with Tzvi Cohen, the Likud’s Election Committee chairman, who approved the initiative. It involves a change to the party’s constitution that would ban anyone with a criminal record and a jail sentence of at least three months from running for Knesset. ”
“In Nov. 1997, Feiglin – as leader of the anti-Oslo Zo Artzeinu (This is Our Land) organization – was sentenced to six months in prison, which he was permitted to convert to six months of public service. He had been convicted two months earlier of ‘sedition’ for organizing massive road blockades in the framework of anti-Oslo protests in 1994.”

Steinitz: Rafah Deal Was Never Signed
Excerpts;
“MK Yuval Steinitz (Likud) accused Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz Wednesday of misleading the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in his statement that a final agreement had been reached with the Palestinians over the Rafah border crossing.”
“Steinitz, who chairs the committee, claimed that no such agreement had ever been reached, and that the terms that US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice left in place had actually been objected to by both sides.”
