Titolo: M.O.: Israele a Usa, nuovo Egitto rispetti trattato di pace

Non suona insolito, strano, irrituale, che Israele detti alla Comunità 
Internazionale quale approccio tenere nei confronti del prossimo regime 
egiziano?
Non dovrebbe essere direttamente Israele a fare i suoi passi diplomatici 
nei confronti dell'Egitto, come farebbe un qualsiasi paese normale, 
invece di chiedere alle  diplomazie degli altri stati di dettare certe 
condizioni, funzionali ai suoi interessi, al futuro Egitto?
E in base a cosa il governo israeliano si aspetta che le diplomazie 
degli altri stati agiscano per fare i suoi interessi piuttosto che 
primariamente i loro propri interessi?
Analisi?

Lacking Peace Talks, Israel Offers Economic Package for Palestinians
By ISABEL KERSHNER
Published: February 4, 2011
JERUSALEM — Israel announced on Friday a package of steps meant to 
develop infrastructure and encourage economic growth in the Palestinian 
territories, in what appeared to be an effort to mollify the 
Western-backed Palestinian Authority leadership and allay international 
criticism in the absence of peace talks.
The prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that the gestures 
were meant “first of all to enhance stability” by improving the 
Palestinian quality of life, in a reference to the mass protests rocking 
Egypt, Israel’s neighbor and longtime peace partner, and other parts of 
the Arab world.
But officials said that the measures had been under discussion for 
months and that the timing of the announcement probably had more to do 
with the meeting scheduled for Saturday of the so-called quartet of 
Middle East peacemakers, consisting of the United States, the United 
Nations, the European Union and Russia.
The foreign ministers of the quartet and the United Nations secretary 
general, Ban Ki-moon, were due to meet on the sidelines of the Munich 
Security Conference to talk about the deadlock in the 
Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
The Israeli package was negotiated with Tony Blair, the quartet’s 
special envoy, who presented it jointly with Mr. Netanyahu here on Friday.
“Even against the background of events in the region,” Mr. Blair said in 
a statement, “and the absence of direct political negotiations, it is 
important we continue to do all we can to improve the conditions and 
living standards of the Palestinian people. Indeed it is now especially 
important.”
Several of the proposed steps relate to Gaza, where the authority’s 
rival, the Islamic militant group Hamas, holds sway. But Israel said 
that the beneficiaries of the improved infrastructure there would be the 
Gaza population, the Palestinian Authority and Israel itself.
Significantly, Israel has agreed to begin discussions on the development 
of a Palestinian Authority gas field adjacent to an Israeli gas field 
off the coast of Gaza, which need to be developed simultaneously. Future 
revenues from the Palestinian field will go to the authority, Mr. 
Netanyahu said.
Israel also agreed in principle to allow the development of electricity, 
sanitation and water projects in Gaza, including the introduction of 
desalination plants, with the intention of making Gaza “independent of 
Israeli infrastructure,” Mr. Netanyahu said. Israel unilaterally 
withdrew from Gaza in 2005.
In addition, Israel is supposed to approve additional construction 
projects and new procedures for the controlled entry of construction 
materials into Gaza.
Among the proposals for the West Bank, Israel said that it would speed 
up the building process for schools and health clinics in 
Israeli-controlled areas and that it approved in principle the extension 
of the Palestinian Authority’s security presence to seven towns in areas 
under Israeli security control, a longstanding authority demand.
Israel also said it encouraged projects for the improvement of 
infrastructure in Arab neighborhoods of Israeli-annexed East Jerusalem. 
The Palestinians and most countries of the world do not recognize 
Israeli sovereignty in East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians claim as 
the capital of a future state.
The measures were announced before they had been formally presented to 
the Palestinian Authority, and there was no immediate response from the 
Palestinian side. Many details still have to be fleshed out in 
discussions over the next few months, and sounding a note of caution, 
Mr. Blair said, “Obviously, agreement to all this is not the same as 
implementation.” He added that “none of this is a substitute for a 
credible political process.”
Short-lived negotiations stalled in September after a 10-month Israeli 
moratorium on building new homes in Jewish settlements in the West Bank 
expired.
The Palestinians say they will not resume negotiations without an 
additional settlement freeze and clear terms of reference for the talks. 
Israeli officials have proposed offering alternative gestures and 
incentives as a way of coaxing the Palestinians back into negotiations. 
But there was no suggestion in the Netanyahu or Blair statements made 
Friday, or in a document outlining the new measures that was provided to 
The New York Times, that their implementation was conditional on a 
resumption of talks.
Mideast Unrest Appraised
PARIS — Unrest sweeping Egypt and other parts of the Middle East 
reflects a deep desire for political change and is likely to have a 
positive effect on regional stability in the long run, Salam Fayyad, 
prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, said Friday.
The protests, spreading from Tunisia and Algeria to Egypt and Yemen, are 
“an expression of a desire for positive change, for inclusiveness, for 
enfranchisement — something which is not in abundance,” Mr. Fayyad said 
at the Académie Diplomatique Internationale in Paris. “I view it as a 
predominantly political phenomenon — not a revolt by the angry, not a 
form of protest against the poor living conditions,” he said of the 
disparate movements pushing autocratic regimes for accountability, 
democracy and the rule of law.
Mr. Fayyad was speaking at the end of a visit to Paris, during which he 
met President Nicolas Sarkozy and Prime Minister François Fillon.
