      Israel Detains Weapons Ship Crossing Dead Sea from Jordan to Palestinians
      Dead Sea

      Jerusalem, July 25 – Israel thwarted a weapons smuggling attempt from Jordan to Palestinians in the West Bank via the Dead Sea, Israeli military sources said.

      The motor boat was filled with AK-47 assault rifles, magazines and additional weaponry, AFP reported. The two men aboard the boat were apprehended. It has not been confirmed whether they are of Palestinian or Jordanian origin.

      The Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, is considered “dead” because of its extremely high concentration of salinity. It forms a natural 43-mile border between Jordan and Israel. The two countries signed a peace treaty in 1994 and have maintained relatively peaceful relations since.

      U.S. State Department: Israel, like any Other Sovereign Nation, has the Right to Defend Itself
      Jerusalem, June 6 – Yesterday, hundreds of Syrians tried to storm the Israeli-Syrian border. Some of them were armed, forcing Israel to defend its sovereign borders from infiltration by violent, foreign nationals. Some see these attempts to infiltrate Israel as part of an orchestrated campaign by Syria’s autocratic ruler, Basher al-Assad, to deflect attention from the massacring of more than a thousand of his own people. It was the second time in under a month that events like this happened. The other Israeli borders, Jordan and Lebanon, for example, were quiet.

      Meridor: Push for Peace, Censure Iran
      Dan Meridor

      • “Two-state solution” is something we have already agreed on
      • Israel offered Abbas much of the 1967-land, offer was rejected

      Jerusalem, April 5 – “Unilateral actions cannot be a substitute for negotiations. They do not substitute an end to the conflict, refugees, Jerusalem or borders,” Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor said on Tuesday.

      Meridor asked 170 diplomats and journalists at an event organized by The Israel Project what the Palestinian Authority (PA)’s recent unilateral moves to gain international recognition of a state achieves in practical terms. 

      “Do borders include security needs?...Borders need to be agreed on by two parties, not decided unilaterally. Of course there are political problems on both sides. But as long as people don’t come to talk, it’s difficult. We have to say our goals up front,” he added.

      Egypt’s turmoil leaves Israel silent and worried

      Op-Ed By Alan Elsner, TIP Senior Communications Director

      Reuters, Jan. 31, 2011

      Read the original piece in Reuters here 

      Washington, Jan. 31 - The uprising in Egypt that looks like it may sweep away President Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year-old regime threatens to deprive Israel of its most important strategic ally in the region.

      Israeli leaders have been silent about the events in Egypt and are powerless to affect the outcome. But they and the entire Israeli population are gravely concerned that the turmoil will ultimately bring to power a new government hostile to the Jewish state.
