From Gush Katif to 'the Fat Man's Belly'
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH
The Palestinian Authority announced on Tuesday a list of new names for the former settlements in the Gaza Strip and instructed the Palestinian media to stop using the former names.
The PA's Information Ministry noted that the list was not final and that more Arabic names would be issued in the near future. A source in the ministry said the decision to rename the former settlements was taken without consulting with Hamas and other Palestinian groups.

Abbas: Order will be imposed in Gaza
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas told his people in a televised speech Tuesday that he would take immediate steps to impose order in chaotic Gaza.
Abbas spoke a day after Israeli forces pulled out of Gaza. Since the withdrawal, Palestinian security forces have tried to prevent scavenging and looting in abandoned Jewish settlements, but have failed in most cases. Security commanders have said they don't have the manpower to do the job.

Editorial: Hold Palestinians accountable
Israelis awoke yesterday to the news that the gates to Gaza had been ceremoniously shut, and that the Palestinians' joyous burning of Gush Katif's synagogues, which the cabinet had voted not to destroy, had begun. We were also informed that the US State Department had criticized the cabinet decision not to destroy the synagogues because it "put the Palestinian Authority into a situation where it may be criticized for whatever it does."
It is never exactly clear when a State Department spokesman says something like this whether he or she is ad-libbing or whether a particular pearl has been cleared at the cabinet level. Either way, however, such statements are instructive because they either reflect a conscious, high-level decision or are considered so uncontroversial that a low-level official can say them without fear of contradiction.

Egypt, PA agree to seal off border
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH
Egyptian and Palestinian security officials met on Tuesday in an attempt to ease tensions between the two sides after thousands of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip crossed into Egypt over the past 48 hours.
On Monday, Egyptian border policemen deployed along the Philadelphi route shot and killed a Palestinian man as he tried to infiltrate into Egypt. Another three Palestinians were injured in the incident.
Sources in the Gaza Strip said thousands of Palestinians have illegally crossed into Egypt over the past 48 hours, prompting Egyptian security officials to file a complaint with the PA.

Pakistan offers to build Afghan security fence
September 13, 2005
United Nations
Chafing under criticism Pakistan is not doing enough to counter terrorism, President Pervez Musharraf offered yesterday to construct a security fence to deter incursion of militants and drug merchants from Afghanistan. Musharraf made the offer at a meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that was expanded to 75 minutes from the 30 minutes originally planned. It sets the stage for President Bush's meeting with the Pakistani leader today. Osama bin Laden, head of the Al Qaeda terror network, is believed to be hiding in the border area. (AP)

Rumsfeld calls for more flexibility from Nato troops
By Demetri Sevastopulo in Berlin and Peter Spiegel in London
Published: September 13 2005 17:44 Last updated: September 13 2005 17:44
Donald Rumsfeld, US defence secretary, said he willl step up pressure on European Nato nations to broaden their militaries’ rules of engagement as the alliance prepares to deploy troops into Afghanistan’s violent southern provinces.
Mr Rumsfeld said it had become “enormously difficult” for commanders to have flexibility when forces from different countries under their command were subject to different rules of engagement and restrictions on operations.
US military leaders, including General James Jones, Nato’s supreme commander, have expressed concern about so-called “national caveats” on troop movements ever since the alliance sent troops to Afghanistan two years ago.

Iran's Ahmadinejad faces tough baptism at U.N.
By Paul Hughes
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will attempt to avert referral of Tehran's nuclear case to the United Nations Security Council during a tough baptism on the world stage at this week's U.N. General Assembly.
The new president, elected in June on a hardline platform which rejected the need for renewed dialogue with arch-foe Washington, has promised to deliver a new proposal in New York to break the stalemate in Iran's atomic standoff with the West.

Jihad to continue campaign against Israel
Armed Palestinian faction vows resistance will continue as long as Israel controls Gaza Strip access.
NETZARIM, Gaza Strip - The armed Palestinian faction Islamic Jihad vowed Tuesday to continue its campaign against Israel as long as the Jewish state continued to control access in and out of the Gaza Strip.
"Islamic Jihad does not consider what has happened in the Gaza Strip as a total retreat as the Zionist enemy continues to strangle our territories and our air space," one of the group's leaders, Mohammed al-Hindi, told a news conference in a former Israeli settlement.

WHO Launches Polio Vaccination Campaign
By SAM CAGE
Associated Press Writer
GENEVA (AP) -- The U.N. health agency said Tuesday it has launched a series of polio immunization campaigns in east Africa after a new case was confirmed in Somalia, a country that had been free of the disease since 2002.
Concern has been growing that outbreaks in neighboring Ethiopia and Yemen could spread across porous borders into Somalia, the World Health Organization said in a statement.
Emergency measures have been put in place now that a case, the infection of a 15-month-old girl, has been confirmed in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, WHO said.
"There has been regular exposure of Somalia to the virus, probably from Yemen," said Bruce Aylward, coordinator of the Global Polio Eradication Program for WHO. "We're trying to battle some wildfires, so to speak."

PA official: Abbas aims to begin disarming militias
By News Agencies
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas aims to start disarming small militant groups soon and will insist that the Hamas faction puts down weapons after January elections, a top aide said on Tuesday.
Abbas' chief of staff, Rafiq Husseini, said the PA Chairman wants to end local lawlessness. Israel has also demanded disarmament as a precondition for statehood talks.
Husseini said Abbas planned to start by disarming the small armed groups within his own Fatah movement before moving onto bigger, better armed and more disciplined organizations like Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Sharon says expected Palestinians to torch Gaza synagogues
By Amos Harel, Arnon Regular and Nir Hasson, Haaretz Correspondents, and Haaretz Service and Reuters
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, in his first comments to reporters since Israel quit Gaza, said on Tuesday the burning of synagogues by Palestinians rushing into evacuated Jewish settlements was no less than he expected.
"I didn't think it would be any different," he said on a flight to New York, where he will address the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday.
Citing fears of desecration, the cabinet originally planned to destroy the 17 synagogues left standing in 21 Gaza settlements that were evacuated and demolished last month.

The Jewish soul
By Nadav Shragai
"In the Jewish soul, we have always heard, the Jewish spark is waiting for it's day," wrote Nathan Alterman, in an almost axiomatic assumption ("Seventh Column," 1946).
"A Jew may be ignorant or learned, intelligent or stupid, friend or foe, the best or scum, but he cannot be a Jew without a Jewish soul," he wrote.
Alterman marveled at this, but assumed that "such is nature," for "this is the essence and character of this soul." Almost 60 years after he wrote those famous words, the Jewish State is questioning this assumption in its handling of the Gush Katif synagogues.
