PM furious over Ya'alon statements against gov't
By Amos Harel and Aluf Benn
Despite fury in the Prime Minister's Office over Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon's remarks made to the press Tuesday night about government policy toward Palestinians in the territories, the chief of staff does not intend to retract his remarks.
In a 15-minute meeting yesterday afternoon with Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, Ya'alon stuck to his position that he did not criticize the government, but rather tried to present the essence of the dispute in the defense establishment about easing conditions in the territories.
Ya'alon told Mofaz that the quotes attributed to him in articles that appeared yesterday morning were correct, although the headline in Yedioth Ahronoth - "The IDF: Government policy is destructive" - was not.
As of last night, Ya'alon had not received direct communication from the PMO regarding last night's Channel One report that Ya'alon either apologize or resign.
The chief of staff's associates believe the affair will blow over, although some residue will remain in relations between Ya'alon and Mofaz and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Defense Ministry sources refused to say if Mofaz regards the affair as being over.
Following yesterday's meeting, the IDF Spokeswoman's Office issued a brief statement saying "uniformed elements did not criticize the Israeli government. The articles reflect deliberations in light of a complex reality. The dilemmas are real, and the IDF is subordinate to the political echelon, obeying its instructions precisely."
Defense sources claimed that Ya'alon's statement should have been made only in internal discussions, and that he must avoid anything that appears like an attack on the political echelon. Senior army officers said the chief of staff regarded it as his duty to let the public know about his concerns regarding the possibility of "chaos" in the territories. They hinted that yesterday's attacks on Ya'alon were meant to serve political motives as well, including diverting attention from the severity of the situation in the territories as well as today's police interrogation of Sharon regarding the Greek island and Kern affairs.
Sources in Sharon's office said Ya'alon had never raised the issues he mentioned in the articles, and that he never recommended broadening goodwill gestures to the previous Palestinian prime minister, Mahmoud Abbas. The sources said that Ya'alon supported the hard line espoused by Shin Bet chief Avi Dichter.
At a meeting last week, Sharon ruled for a compromise between the chief of staff's and the defense minister's positions over relaxing the closures and curfews in the territories. The prime minister confirmed an army recommendation for more abatements of IDF pressure in the territories as proposed by Ya'alon, Military Intelligence Commander Maj. Gen. Aharon Ze'evi and IDF Planning director Maj. Gen. Giora Eiland. But Sharon left it up to Mofaz when, and where, the conditions would be eased.
Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom favors easing conditions in the territories, having told both the government and the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee last week that humanitarian gestures must be undertaken in the territories as long as they do not affect security.
