عمان- حركة إبداع
حذر الكاتب و مدير عام حركة إبداع تيسير
نظمي مساء أمس للمرة الثانية من كونفيدرالية بالشروط الإسرائيلية سوف تمهد لها زيارة
الرئيس الأميركي للمنطقة خلال الأسابيع الثلاثة المقبلة ومن ما أسماه بالربيع الأسود
في إشارة لرواية هنري ميلر الثانية (الربيع الأسود). وقال نظمي الذي كان يحضر محاضرة
أخرى (ثانية خلال شهر) لمتخصصين في القانون الدولي عن الدولة الفلسطينية بعد أن كانت لجنة فلسطين برابطة
الكتاب في الأردن قد أقرت وعملت محاضرة سابقة للدكتور أنيس القاسم في نفس الموضوع أن
لجنة فلسطين في الرابطة تتهرب للمرة الثانية من أن يلقي فيها محاضرته المتفق عليها
مع رئيس الرابطة عن الكونفيدرالية الأردنية الفلسطينية بالشروط الاسرائيلية وأن الرابطة
للأسف تنتظر أن تقع الفأس بالرأس كي ترفض وتسجل موقفا رافضا في الوقت الذي يجدر بها
أن تبحث عن تبصير وقيادة الرأي العام العربي والمحلي وأصحاب القرار بتوحيد مواقفهم
من هذا الموضوع الذي يجري العمل عليه من تحت الطاولة وبالخفاء سواء من الجانب الأردني
أو الفلسطيني وأوضح أن اسرائيل سوف تستغل عدم الجاهزية لدى الطرفين الفلسطيني والأردني
لتحقيق شروطها واللعب على تناقضات ما تزال موجودة بين الطرفين . وكانت القيادية في
الجبهة الشعبية لتحرير فلسطين - جورج حبش - السيدة ليلى خالد حاضرة على يسار تيسير
نظمي في الصفوف الأولى للمحاضرة دون أن تبدي أي تعليق على موضوع الكونفيدرالية و هي
المرة الثانية التي يوجه نظمي فيها الإشارة لموقف الجبهة ذاتها التي يعرف منذ السبعينيات
متعمدا هذه المرة أن يستخدم صفات أخرى له غير انتمائه التاريخي للجبهة عندما قال :
سوف نفشل أي تحرك بهذا الاتجاه و هو الكونفيدرالية بالشروط الاسرائيلية من خلال علاقتنا
بالجماهير الشعبية والحراكات وبصفتي رئيس اللجنة السياسية في برلمان الظل الأردني
.

أوباما يطالب نتانياهو بجدول زمني للإنسحاب
من الضفة الغربية
04/03/2013
ذكرت صحيفة "وورلد تريبيون" الاميركية
اليوم (الاثنين) ان الرئيس الاميركي باراك اوباما طالب رئيس الوزراء الاسرائيلي بنيامين
نتنياهو بتقديم جدول زمني مفصل لانسحاب اسرائيلي من الضفة الغربية خلال زيارته لاسرائيل
المقررة في 20 الشهر الحالي.
وذكرت مصادر اسرائيلية للصحيفة ان خطة الانسحاب
الاسرائيلية قد تكون جزءا من مبادرة اميركية لاقامة دولة فلسطينية في الضفة العام المقبل.
وأشارت المصادر ذاتها إلى ان اوباما اوضح
ان زيارته ليست زيارة مجاملة وانما تهدف الى مناقشة الملف الايراني واقامة دولة فلسطينية,
ما يعني ان اوباما سيتحرك بنفسه اذا لم تقدم له "اسرائيل" أي شيء.
وأكدت المصادر الاسرائيلية ان الرئيس الاميركي
يعتبر هذا الموضوع اختبارا لزعامة نتنياهو ومصداقيته.

Obama’s Middle East team: old problems, new style
The U.S.
president's second-term team of secretaries and emissaries - including the
major appointment of 'blank slate' Philip Gordon - augur a new involvement in
Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking, though not necessarily on the part of Obama
himself.

One of the
questions that occupies Israel and the Palestinians before U.S. President
Barack Obama’s visit to the region in about two weeks time is what his policy
on the peace process will be during his second term. Obama is not expected to
present a new policy during his visit, but the new composition of his Middle
East affairs team looks like it will bring a different approach and style to
the talks with both sides.
Over the past 18 months, Obama has dealt very little, if at all,
with the Israeli-Palestinian issue. The presidential election campaign, the
departure of many advisers and the deep freeze of the talks have caused the
American administration to engage mostly in maintenance and damage control.
Most of the talks with Israel and the Palestinians about the peace
process were conducted by a group of relatively low-level officials such as
special envoy David Hale, Ambassador Dan Shapiro and the consul general in Jerusalem,
Michael Ratney. In November 2012, Obama and then-U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton were somewhat involved in the attempt to stop the Palestinians’
efforts at the United Nations, but without too much motivation.
Obama’s second term in general, and his appointment of John Kerry
as secretary of state in particular, will require the American administration
to formulate a new policy on the peace process. Obama is not showing much
enthusiasm for dealing with the matter. He believes matters in Iran and Syria
are more urgent. Therefore, he is leaving things to Kerry, who, as my colleague
Chemi Shalev pointed out, is obsessed with the Israeli-Palestinian issue and
hopes to reach a historic peace agreement by the end of his term in 2016.
A new team of advisers on Middle East affairs, which will
accompany Obama and Kerry over the next four years, has been formed over the
past few days. The distinguishing characteristic of each of these advisers is
that they come from the well-known peace industry clique that has been
accompanying the
blame game between Israel and the Palestinians for the past 20 years.

The major appointment in this context is Philip Gordon,
who will be starting his job next week as Obama’s coordinator for the Middle
East – a position that has been vacant for the past year and a half. Gordon,
who as part of his new job will be responsible for the whole sector between
Marrakesh and Bangladesh, will replace veteran diplomat Dennis Ross, who
retired in November 2011.
The fact that Gordon is replacing Ross says something about the
approach that will prevail in the White House over the next four year. Ross, a
long-time expert on Middle East affairs, accompanied the peace process from the
first days of the Oslo Accords to the stalemate of Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu’s second term. He knows all the players from every conceivable
direction. He has heard it all, seen it all, tried everything, and - in the end
- failed in everything.
Gordon will bring in a completely different style, a different way
of seeing the world and a different point of view. Unlike Ross, he is actually
an expert in European and Russian affairs – these were the subjects he dealt
with as a high-ranking White House official during Bill Clinton’s presidency.
He was a senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in
London and assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs under
Hillary Clinton.
Ross was perhaps an experienced veteran in the field, but he
accumulated many enemies in the Middle East. During Obama’s first term, the
Palestinians saw Ross as a hostile element who served as Netanyahu’s long arm
in the White House.
Although Gordon is familiar with the issues, he has little
personal acquaintance with the various players in Jerusalem and Ramallah. In
the current state of the peace process, this could be an advantage for him.
Both sides will accept him as a blank slate, so he will be able to build a
working relationship and trust in order to be seen as a man of fair dealing.
American administration officials believe that Gordon’s
appointment may also be evidence of Obama’s desire to increase coordination
with the European Union and Russia in dealing with Middle East issues. While
such coordination is vital mainly in dealing with the Iranian nuclear program
and the civil war in Russia, it is also important for dealing with the peace
process with the Palestinians. The Europeans want to see progress and an
American diplomatic initiative, and the Russians want to play a more important
role in the process than in the past.
Now let’s move from the White House back to the State Department.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has not yet decided how to approach the
Israeli-Palestinian issue. He has many ideas, but he is still in a listening
position. During his visit to London, Paris and Berlin last week, he sought
mainly to hear ideas from his European colleagues, and during his meeting with
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Riyadh on Monday, he mostly listened to
the Palestinian leader's complaints against Israel.
Kerry asked special envoy David Hale to stay on in his position
until the summer, when he will go to Beirut to serve as the U.S. ambassador
there. When that happens, Kerry intends his close adviser, Frank Lowenstein,
to replace Hale. Lowenstein served as Kerry’s senior adviser on the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee. There is complete trust between them and they work
very well together. Lowenstein has visited Israel many times together with
Kerry and knows Netanyahu and his advisers. “He knows Kerry very well and can
get into his head when it comes to matters of state,” an American
administration official said. “He’s a very creative person who can bring in a
new, realistic approach based on what can and cannot be accomplished.”
What Lowenstein’s exact position will be is still unclear. Various
American administration officials noted that Kerry was interested in dealing
with the Israeli-Palestinian issue personally and carrying out shuttle
diplomacy in the region himself. Therefore, it is likely that Lowenstein will
be more a senior adviser on the peace process than a special envoy.
Other officials on Obama’s Middle East affairs team will be Prem
Kumar, who is expected to hold the Israel portfolio in the White House – a
position held in the past by U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro. Kumar, who served as
Shapiro’s deputy in the White House, will be subordinate to Gordon and deal
with the peace process as well as Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt.
Other members of the team will include Ann Patterson, who
apparently will be appointed as assistant secretary of state for Middle Eastern
affairs. Patterson, who serves as the U.S. ambassador to Egypt and formerly as
the ambassador to Pakistan, has played a major role in preserving the peace
treaty between Israel and Egypt over the past two years, and in the rescue of
the Israeli security guards who were under siege in the embassy in Cairo.
