...Iran's role in this," says a French foreign-affairs official. "How much coincidence could there be in Hizballah kidnapping the Israeli soldiers on the same date that ministers met in Paris to decide what measures to take on the Iranian nuclear issue? None, in our opinion." Avi Dichter, Israel's Internal Security Minister, calls on other countries to help Israel show that "Iran's strategy has failed in Lebanon" and claims that if Iran is not faced down, it will try to destabilize oil states in the Gulf...
...prisoners, both Abbas and Hamas said last week that the militants would let Shalit go if Israel freed female prisoners, those under 18 and some who have served long sentences - a much smaller group. By the weekend, Israeli government ministers were sending mixed messages: Public Security Minister Avi Dichter said Israel might be willing to release some prisoners, while Interior Minister Ronnie Bar-On insisted it absolutely would not.

Amanda Forsythe, soprano, will sing “Misera, dove son!,” KV369 with her silvery tone. Forsythe, who recently made her recital debut in New York, is a winner of the George London Foundation Awards...
...under pressure to reveal Kadima's plans for disengagement on the West Bank. "But he's not going to put out a map during an election campaign," a member of Olmert's Cabinet told me. "That would be crazy, given the uncertainty on the other side." Indeed, Avi Dichter--who will probably be a leading security spokesman for Kadima--sounded very much like a Likudnik when discussing future plans. "Israel is not going to try any experiments in the West Bank to let it become another Gaza," he said. "If the Palestinian Authority doesn't build an adequate counterterrorist capability...
