BETHLEHEM, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) violently dispersed a peaceful march in Walaja village, Bethlehem district, on Tuesday in which Palestinian citizens and foreign activists took part.

Hamas warns Israel over prisoners swap


Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has warned Israeli regime the Gilad Shalit may not return to the occupied lands if the regime did not accept the prisoner exchange soon. Hamas' message to the Israeli authorities came in a 3D animation its military wing, Ezz El-Deen Al-Qassam Brigades, released on Sunday. The video showed quotations from Israeli authorities, including former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and current Premier Benjamin Netanyahu, all promising to work on freeing Shalit. The movie played bits of a previous video message from the captive soldier saying that the regime frustrated him. "There is still hope," the animation said at the end. Otherwise, the swap would be done but Shalit might not be alive then. Hamas and the Israeli regime have so far held

Obama Reluctant to Answer Questions on Israeli Nuclear Program!


U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday urged all countries, including Israel, to sign the international Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, or NPT. "Whether we're talking about Israel or any other country, we think that becoming part of the NPT is important," Obama said. "And that, by the way, is not a new position. That's been a consistent position of the United States government, even prior to my administration." Israel operates a policy of 'nuclear ambiguity', refusing to confirm or deny having atomic weapons - but has not signed the treaty and is believed to posses between 200 and 300 nuclear warheads. Obama, who was hosting an international conference on nuclear security in Washington, was at first reluctant to answer journalists' questions on Israel, whose prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu had at the last minute canceled plans to attend. "Initially you were talking about US behavior, and then suddenly we're talking about Israel. Let me talk about the United States," the president said. “I do think that as part of the NPT, our obligation, as the largest nuclear power in the world, is to take steps to reducing our nuclear stockpile. And that's what the START treaty was about, sending a message that we are going to meet our obligation...as far as Israel goes, I'm not going to comment on their program.” OBAMA DOWNBEAT ABOUT MIDEAST PEACE PROSPECTS Also Tuesday, Obama gave a surprisingly downbeat assessment of the chances for a U.S.-brokered peace settlement in the Middle East, saying that the United States cannot help if Israel and the Palestinians decide they cannot negotiate. The two sides may say to themselves, "We are not prepared to resolve these issues no matter how much pressure the United States brings to bear," Obama said. Obama reiterated that peace is a vital goal, but one that may be beyond reach even if we are applying all of our political capital. Obama was responding to a question about whether the successful negotiation of a new arms control treaty with Russia and the agreements he won at this week's nuclear summit could help him make gains elsewhere. His words are recognition that although he pledged to work hard for a deal from his first day in office, Obama has gotten little traction in the decades-old conflict. The United States is pushing for new Israeli-Palestinian talks in which the Obama administration would be a go-between. Previous talks broke off more than a year ago, and despite shuttle diplomacy and unusual pressure on ally Israel, the Obama administration has been unable to reach even the modest goal of new talks.

'No trace of Israel will remain if Iran attacked'


Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi has lashed out at the United States for its dual-based nuclear policies. "The US is working on a new generation of nuclear bombs. It also defends Israel that has tens of nuclear warheads but it opposes Iran's peaceful use of nuclear energy. This shows a double-standard in their nuclear policies," ISNA quoted Vahidi as saying on Wednesday. The Iranian minister also rejected the possibility of a military strike against Iran's nuclear sites by Israel or the United States. "The Zionist regime of Israel is too weak to attack Iran," he added. "No trace of Israel will remain if the Zionist regime declares a war on Iran," he warned. Tehran has repeatedly dismissed Israeli threats of military strikes against Iran as psychological warfare aimed at pressuring the Islamic Republic to abandon its peaceful nuclear work. Israel and its Western backers have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing a nuclear weapon capability under the guise of a civilian nuclear program. The Iranian government, however, has fiercely dismissed such claims as mere attempts by Western nuclear powers to prevent Iran's rapid advances in the field of nuclear technology. Aggressive Israeli efforts against Iran's nuclear program come despite widespread reports of its possession of over 200 nuclear warheads that was acquired with blessings from Tel Aviv's Western sponsors. Israel has refused to sign or commit to any international atomic regulatory treaties. Meanwhile, as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Iran has opened its nuclear facilities to intrusive inspections and round-the-clock supervision by the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Moreover, Iran has also called for an international abandonment of all nuclear weapon arsenals and development efforts, which has been ignored by all countries possessing nuclear weapons. IAEA has repeatedly reported that it has found no evidence of any diversion of nuclear materials from civilian to military applications in Iran.
