oops... a new era of realism in the near east... lets see the near future!
The Israeli daily Yedioth Achronoth published yesterday, 3.27, following article...
Haniyeh: We want '67 borders state
Palestinian prime minister-designate tells Legislative Council Hamas-led government would seek establishment of Palestinian state in 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital; charges Israel incites against PA elected government
Palestinian Prime Minister-designate Ismail Haniyeh said the Palestinian government was opposed to all temporary solutions regarding Palestinian borders.
“We support a Palestinian state based on the borders of 1967 with its capital in Jerusalem,” Haniyeh told the Palestinian Legislative Council in Ramallah Monday.
He also stated that "the Palestinian government will show responsibility regarding agreements signed by the PLO, and will take into consideration the Palestinian people's interests."
Haniyeh opened his speech with a verse from the Koran, and greeted all the shahids (martyrs), "and most of all the shahid Arafat and the shahid Sheikh Yassin."
The Hamas leader said in the Council's meeting that he would have preferred to hold the meeting in Jerusalem.
According to Haniyeh, the fact the Council did not assemble in Jerusalem "proves the cruelty of the occupier that continues its aggression against the Palestinian people, and continues to incite against its elected government."
Referring to the Israeli army's raid on the Jericho prison about two weeks ago, Haniyeh condemned the operation which he defined as "the abduction of the secretary-general of the Popular Front, Ahmed Saadat." "This proves that the occupation does not respect signed agreements," he stated.
'We'll release the Palestinian prisoners'
Israel has escalated its aggression against the Palestinians, Haniyeh charged, in a bid to punish them for the alleged mistake they made when electing Hamas. "This takes place before the eyes of the world. But we say, the Palestinian people should not be punished for its decision in a democratic elections. Those who think economic pressure will cause the Palestinian government to give in is mistaken, our people will continue to be determined," he stated.
Haniyeh also pledged his government will do everything within its powers to guarantee the release from jail of Palestinian and Arab prisoners. "We shall not forget you. Your sacrifice will not be in vain. We will do everything in order for you to walk free and join us in our construction project," he said.
The future prime minister vowed that his government would maintain proper constitutional relations with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, "for whom we thank for his support in the democratic process and his handling of the elections."
"All the problems and issues that would be raised, will be discussed through dialogue and cooperation between the government and the presidency, in keeping with each institution's independence."
Haniyeh also introduced to the Council his government's priorities:
1. Struggle against the occupation that hurts the Palestinian people and land
2. Guaranteeing the public's security
3. Improving the economic situation
4. Comprehensive reform and a struggle against corruption
5. Reorganizing the Palestinian national and political home
6. Strengthening the Palestinian issue as an Arabic and Muslim issue
7. Improving relations with the international community
'We'll integrate women in society'
In his speech, Haniyeh put emphasis on internal Palestinian affairs, and announced that the new government will do whatever it can to create a stable atmosphere that would encourage investments in the PA. He called on Palestinian, Arab and Muslim investors "to come and invest in the Palestinian homeland." Haniyeh also promised that the Palestinian administration will be founded on the principles of justice, equal opportunity and transparency.
According to the new prime minister, the government will work to ensure payment of salaries on time, and also surprised listeners by stating that "the Palestinian government will make every effort to see the Palestinian woman integrated into the life of the Palestinian society."
Haniyeh also stressed that his cabinet would strengthen the ties with the international community and the European Union. He pledged to any state or element that would contribute to the PA two principles:
1. The money will only be used for the project for which it was donated
2. Any state will be able to monitor the way the money is spent, in order to ensure it is not used by Hamas
Haniyeh also called on the international community to reconsider its position toward the new Palestinian government and to cease threatening sanctions against it. "We call on the international community to recognize the Palestinian people's democratic choice, and we laud and appreciate Russia's stance on the matter. The new government will be willing to engage in dialogue with the Quartet in order to strengthen stability and peace in the region."
IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz referred Monday morning to Haniyeh's statements regarding the need to put an end to the bloodshed between the two people.
"Hamas may pass a resolution recognizing Israel, renouncing terror and agreeing to honor past deals, but everything needs to be treated with caution. We estimated from the beginning Hamas will try to 'sell' statements it does not believe in. let's wait and see what happens in reality." He added.

The British daily Guardian published yesterday following article..
National strike to hit key services
Schools, burials and other local services will grind to a halt tomorrow as councils brace themselves for the biggest national strike to be staged for 30 years.
Most councils expect to be hit by the first stage of industrial action over government proposals to alter pension schemes for existing local government workers. Nine unions with a total of 1.5 million members are expected to take part.
In Liverpool, 120 schools will shut for the day, along with 24 libraries and 15 leisure centres. Two tunnels linking roads under the river Mersey will also face a 24-hour stoppage from tonight, as engineers down tools to support the protest against planned changes to the pension scheme.
In Shrewsbury, even burials and cremations have been suspended for the day alongside more mundane services such as refuse collection and leisure services, according to the Shrewsbury and Atcham borough council chief executive, Robin Hooper.
"The reality is that we will have probably less than 10% of our workforce," he said.
"Over the next few weeks this industrial action is set to continue until a solution has been reached."
Other councils are working hard to ensure social service delivery is not affected, though some councils such as Derbyshire, report that only "limited home help" will be available for the day.
Unison warned that tomorrow's national strike was "the beginning, not the end".
"There won't be a place in the country that will not be affected," a spokeswoman said.
"This is not an action that we take lightly but our members are very angry that this is their last resort. We expect tomorrow's strike to be solid, but it is the beginning, not the end and we will be looking at further action over the coming months."
Under government plans for public-sector pensions, only new workers in health, police, fire, education and the civil service will see their retirement age rise to 65.
Council workers are furious that they have been singled out for changes to the pensions they have been paying into for years. Tripartite talks with the deputy prime minister, John Prescott, and council bosses broke down after the government refused to budge on giving existing staff lifetime protection from the proposed changes, in line with the rest of their public-sector colleagues.
Local-government unions accept that the retirement age for new staff will rise to 65 but want half the pension savings reinvested to help existing members and retain the so-called 85-year rule, which allows those with 30 years' service to retire at 60.
Council bosses, meanwhile, insist that the current scheme is unaffordable and will prove to be too high a burden on council-tax payers in the future.
They reiterated their condemnation for the strike as they vowed to try and keep service disruption "to a minimum". But they admit tomorrow's strike will have a "major impact" on local service delivery and represents the largest walkout since the winter of discontent strikes of the 1970s, which helped to bring down the Labour government.
The chairman of the Local Government Association, Sir Sandy Bruce-Lockhart, said: "It is deeply disappointing that even before any decisions have been made, the unions have chosen to go down the route of industrial action.
"The changes to local-government staff pensions are both needed and necessary. Most local-government staff currently retire at 65, compared to the rest of the public sector at 60.
"However, because people are living longer this will mean that unless action is taken in the future, council tax will continue to rise.
"The key aspect of these changes is to make sure the pension scheme does not cost the council taxpayer any more money while at the same time making sure that local government continues to be an attractive place to work in.
"Local councils will do everything in their power to ensure that disruption services given to the some of the most vulnerable in society will be kept to an absolute minimum."
