Gaza militants launch rocket attacks in effort to derail peace talks By Catrina Stewart in Jerusalem

Short-range rockets and mortars rained on southern Israel yesterday as militants sought to derail the revived peace process on the second day of talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders.

Militants in Gaza, the coastal enclave controlled by Hamas, fired at least nine projectiles into Israel, causing no injuries. Israel responded with an air strike on Gaza, killing a 23-year-old Palestinian man.

The upsurge in attacks came during talks in Jerusalem, where Washington is pushing for a breakthrough in the peace process, launched a fortnight ago after nearly two years of stalled negotiations.

At the end of the second day, George Mitchell, the US envoy, sounded a cautious note of optimism, hinting that the two sides were making progress over the extension of a construction freeze in the Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank.

"We continue in our efforts to make progress in that regard and believe we are doing so," Mr Mitchell told reporters after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met in Jerusalem.

"The two leaders are not leaving the tough issues to the end of their discussions," he added. "We take this as a strong indicator of their belief that peace is possible."

Ahead of a packed day of meetings, Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, had reiterated...(click here to read the full article source)

By ALI AKBAR DAREINI (AP)

The United Nations Security Council approved a new round of sanctions against Iran last week for its refusal to curb the country's nuclear program, which the U.S. and its allies suspect is aimed at producing weapons. Iran denies that.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran favors a dialogue with the West, but will announce its conditions soon. He said the carrot-and-stick approach doesn't work and Iran will not make "one iota of concessions" to the West.

"You showed bad temper, reneged on your promise and again resorted to devilish manners," he said of the powers that imposed sanctions. "We set conditions (for talks) so that, God willing, you'll be punished a bit and sit at the negotiating table like a polite child," he told a crowd during a visit to the central Iranian town of Shahr-e-Kord. His speech was broadcast live on state TV.

Israel likely to free 980 Palestinians for Shalit

Israel likely to free 980 Palestinians for Shalit

Israel is likely to free up to 980 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit, the State Prosecution announced on Sunday.

The prosecution was responding to a petition submitted to the High Court of Justice by a group of bereaved parents, requesting that the names of all Palestinian prisoners included in the prisoner swap be disclosed to the public.

According to the prosecution, Israel is likely to release the 450 prisoners requested by Hamas as part of the deal to see Shalit released after three years of captivity in the Gaza Strip.

Following that, said the prosecution, Israel would free another 530 prisoners as a "gesture to the Palestinians." The list of those prisoners has still not been finalized, said the prosecution.

None of the names of prisoners to be exchanged will be published until after a deal has been secured, according to the prosecution.

In its statement, the prosecution also wrote that the military censor is authorized to forbid any particular piece of information from being published in the media if publication could seriously harm the chances of Shalit's quick return.

The censor is also authorized to forbid any article that might increase the 'price' Israel would pay for Shalit and thus significantly harm the security of the state, said the prosecution.

Nonetheless, there is no practical way to carry out public negotiations against a bitter enemy, wrote the prosecution, adding that Israel is facing a terror organization that is holding a kidnapped soldier and is requesting the highest price for his release.

"Ambiguity on the part of Israel is absolutely necessary. Without ambiguity, it would not be possible to carry out effective negotiations and to realize the goal of bringing Gilad Shalit home," wrote the prosecution.

Shalit faily neither 'encouraged nor ill at ease'

The abducted soldier's parents met on Sunday with Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, as Israel and Hamas reportedly were preparing to seal the prisoner swap deal.

"I am not feeling encouraged nor am I ill at ease," Noam Shalit told reporters on his way into the meeting. "We are still waiting."

Media reports last week predicted that a prisoner exchange deal could be completed by Monday.

Israel and Hamas came closer to the prisoner deal last week when officials said Israel had dropped objections to releasing 160 prisoners. According to Germany's Der Spiegel, the deal will secure the release of 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in total, 450 in the first phase and the remaining 550 later.

The Voice of Palestine radio station said Saturday that Shalit would be transferred in coming days to Egypt, which has been mediating for his release.

However, media sources have reported a snag in the talks over some 70 to 100 names of Palestinian prisoners which Israel is not willing to release - including Fatah's West Bank secretary general, Marwan Barghouti.
