Olmert, Livni, Ramon Dividing Jerusalem, Disdainful of Shas
|
|||||
.
Commentary;
The body of evidence that the Olmert, Livni, Ramon troika is dividing Jerusalem at this very moment; as we speak, as we write, continues to grow. And take note that the Jerusalem Post, for some reason, has completely edited out of it’s earlier report these words below spoken by Jerusalem Councilman Nir Barkat in the report’s original form regarding Livni’s responses to his inquiry about secret negotiations on Jerusalem;
Barkat said: “Livni’s letter exposes more than anything the fraudulent peace process led by Ramon and the prime minister. Livni refuses to reveal the vital information she knows, of which I was informed by senior officials, that there is a secret channel led by Haim Ramon and Mohammad Rashid and not by the Foreign Ministry.”
The Post has also edited out, altered or replaced other sections as well as changing the headline corresponding to the url of the previous report which is shown in it’s full original form here.
From the new version of the report, as well as from the related report, Olmert: Shas Won’t Quit Coalition, Olmert has managed once again to flambusal Eli Yishai and the Shas party who don’t really seem serious about keeping their promise to leave the coalition over Jerusalem division talks. Olmert knows this and one can only guess that the expression on his face marks total disdain for the Shas party. MB

Barkat: “The fact that Livni was aware of the reported secret channel and refused to admit it to the public “turns her into an active partner in the fraudulent peace process of which the true aim is to divide Jerusalem.”
Full Report;
“Vice Premier Haim Ramon and PA negotiator Mohammad Rashid have agreed on a plan to divide Jerusalem,” Jerusalem municipal opposition leader Nir Barkat said Wednesday, following a letter he received from Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
Livni was answering Barkat’s request that she respond to The Jerusalem Post report about secret negotiations on the future of capital.
In her letter, Livni wrote: “At Annapolis, it was agreed that Israel and the Palestinians would conduct negotiations on all the core issues without exception.
“The negotiations between the Israeli and Palestinian delegations are being conducted with agreement from both sides that until there is an accord on every issue there will be no accord on any issue and that the contents of the negotiations must not be disclosed.”

She said that from past experience, Israel had learned that conducting negotiations “under the floodlights” will not contribute to Israel’s goals and that “for this reason, and this reason only, I have neither related to reports about agreements seemingly reached during negotiations and nor will I do so in the future.”
“You cannot conclude anything from my lack of response and the absence of a denial is not any form of confirmation,” stressed the foreign minister.
Following the foreign minister’s response, Barkat said: “Livni’s letter exposes more than anything the fraudulent peace process led by Ramon and the prime minister. Livni refuses to reveal the vital information she knows, of which I was informed by senior officials, that there is a secret channel led by Haim Ramon and Mohammad Rashid and not by the Foreign Ministry.”
Barkat went on to say that the fact that Livni was aware of the reported secret channel and refused to admit it to the public “turns her into an active partner in the fraudulent peace process of which the true aim is to divide Jerusalem.”

[…] Repeated threats to leave the coalition become redundant and laughable when it becomes obvious that the party making threats is not serious. Further, the threats become empty and disdainful and maybe Olmert has the right to show a smirking countenance when the threats are repeatly posed but not acted upon. […]

[…] But if one reads the report below, nowhere is there a denial from any government source, unlike the “leader” which alleges denial. This author sticks with Jerusalem committeeman Nir Barkat’s assessment of Livni’s lack of a denial regarding Jerusalem talks with Abbas and project it on to the Der Spiegal report. In essence, as this author sees it, Jerusalem Post is warning Olmert that if he verifies the Der Spiegal report as correct by making such a declaration, that it will be the final nail in the political coffin.
