TODAY'S HEADLINES:
   1. THE FUTURE OF AN AGREEMENT\
   2. LARGEST-RALLY EVER EXPECTED; ALSO AROUND THE WORLD
   3. ARABS REJECT CLINTON MIDEAST PLAN
   4. DEAD SEA AREA RESIDENTS PREFER JORDAN TO PLO
   5. ONE MONTH BEFORE THE ELECTION
   6. SAFIRE AGAINST CLINTON/BARAK

1. THE FUTURE OF AN AGREEMENT
Justice Minister Yossi Beilin told the Knesset Law Committee today that any agreement Ehud Barak may initial before the election will contain a clause stipulating that it is not valid unless it passes a national referendum.  Beilin said that although the government has a mandate to initial such an agreement, future Israeli governments need not be obligated to implement it.

The Supreme Court will wait until Friday to hear petitions against plans by the current transition government to reach agreements with the Palestinians before the Feb. 6th election.  The petitioners, including Atty. Yoram Sheftel, expressed concern this morning that the delay will cause the government to speed up its negotiations with the Palestinians.

In a similar vein, U.S. President Clinton emphasized that his proposals will not obligate his successor, George W. Bush.  Speaking to American-Jewish leaders in New York last night, Clinton said that the Arab refugees should not live in Israel, but rather in the area of the Palestinian state that, he feels, should arise.  This was the first time in history that an American president had expressed such clear support for a Palestinian state.  Mediator Dennis Ross is scheduled to arrive in Israel later in the week, in a never-say-die effort to help the Israelis and Palestinians reach Clinton's goal of an "agreement of principles" before the latter leaves office 12 days from now.

2. LARGEST-RALLY EVER EXPECTED; ALSO AROUND THE WORLD
A massive demonstration of support for Jerusalem outside Jaffa Gate and the Old City walls will commence this evening at 6:30; organizers expect a quarter of a million people.  Chartered buses are leaving from 50 sites throughout the country to take participants to the rally, sponsored by Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert and MK Natan Sharansky.  Groups from New York, England, Russia and France have flown in to join the demonstration.  The demonstration will be non-partisan; speakers will include President Moshe Katzav, Mayor Ehud Olmert, former Supreme Court Justice Moshe Landau, and President of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations Ron Lauder.  Many Christians from a variety of groups worldwide will participate in the rally.

The mass protest movement against plans to give away 95% of Judea and Samaria (including the re-division of Jerusalem) continues.  Har Hevron communities are on strike today, and are marching to Jerusalem; hundreds gathered in Gilo for a rally at noon, and from there marched to the Old City to join up with the giant rally.  Similar marches were held by residents of N'vei Tzuf, Ateret, Peduel, Talmon, Dolev, Mevo Choron, and Ma'aleh Levonah.  Thousands of high school girls took part in a prayer ceremony at Rachel's Tomb this morning on behalf of Jerusalem.

3. ARABS REJECT CLINTON MIDEAST PLAN
The Palestinians have officially rejected Clinton's proposals.  Abu Ala, PA Legislative Council Chairman, said earlier today that Ross will fail in his mission to bridge the gaps between the two sides, since "the American proposals are a trick, and are basically only a continuation of the Camp David ideas."  Abu Ala said that Israel must withdraw absolutely to the June 4, 1967 borders: "We do not agree that the Palestinian state will be part of a peace agreement - as the establishment of a state is our own sovereign decision, and need not be contingent on American or Israeli conditions."

4. DEAD SEA AREA RESIDENTS PREFER JORDAN TO PLO
Israelis living in the Northern Dead Sea area say that if the Barak-Clinton understandings are accepted, they plan to ask to be annexed to Jordan instead of being placed under Palestinian Authority sovereignty.  Mordechai Dahman, a member of Barak's Labor party and head of the area's Megillot Regional Council, explained to Arutz-7 today that giving away the Jordan Valley is a danger to the State of Israel and leaves it open to an attack from Iran and Iraq.

"If we cannot remain Israeli," Dahman said, "we would prefer to come under the protection of the stable regime in Jordan, and not under Arafat's Palestinian Authority."  When asked if he thinks that Jordan's King Abdullah would welcome the Jewish communities, Dahman answered, "No.  But I will tell you that his father King Hussein and Yitzchak Rabin never intended for the Jordan Valley to come under Palestinian control.  Giving it to the PA endangers not only Israel, but also Abdullah's regime in Jordan - as it makes a Palestinian takeover, with the help of the large Palestinian majority there, that much more likely.  Everyone knows this, but people don't like to talk about it."  The residents held a "protest sail" today on the Dead Sea, and sent a balloon to Jordan with the message that if the Palestinians take over the area, it will endanger Jordan.

5. ONE MONTH BEFORE THE ELECTION
It's official:  The Shas party will support Ariel Sharon.  Such were the results of a meeting yesterday between the Prime Ministerial candidate and Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef.  Shas MK Shlomo Benizri told Arutz-7 today, "We usually support the right-wing candidate, even though we do not consider ourselves a right-wing party; maybe just moderate right-wing...  [At the meeting,] Rabbi Yosef hinted to Sharon that he should be more careful in his public Sabbath observance, such as not appearing live on television on the Sabbath.  He also asked him if he is planning to continue along the suicidal path of Oslo."  Both Benizri and MK Yuli Edelstein of Yisrael B'Aliyah - also a likely future partner in a Sharon coalition - confirmed Sharon's statement that he did not promise any of the parties specific ministerial portfolios.

Dr. Aharon Fein, of the Tatzpit Institute, commented today on recent polls showing Sharon leading Barak by wide margins:  "Anything can happen, of course, but statistically, there is almost no chance at all that Barak can beat Sharon."  Relating to the possibility that Peres may replace Barak, Fein said, "Even though the polls show Peres leading Sharon, Peres will lose.  This is because the support for a 'virtual' candidate always drops when he becomes an actual candidate.  I estimate, based on data that I have, that any Labor party candidate will lose."  Barak emphasized that he has absolutely no plans to drop out of the race in the middle.

The left-wing religious Zionist party Meimad has decided, for now, to endorse neither Prime Minister Ehud Barak - who brought it national prominence by adding it to the One Israel list (preceding the May 1999 election), on which it earned its only Knesset seat - nor Ariel Sharon in the upcoming prime ministerial election.  At a meeting of the party leadership last night, it was decided to make a final decision at a later date.  Opinion was split over whether to support Barak, as proposed by Diaspora Affairs Minister Rabbi Michael Melchior and Yitzchak Frankental, while Rabbi Yehuda Gilad, former NRP Knesset Member Yehuda Ben-Meir, and others were in favor of expressing non-support for Barak; support for Ariel Sharon was practically non-existent.  Rabbi Yehuda Amital echoed the feelings of most members when he attacked Barak's proposed "secular revolution" - aimed at erasing Jewish tradition from Israeli public life.

6. SAFIRE AGAINST CLINTON/BARAK
American columnist William Safire wrote a scathing attack last week on both Clinton and Barak (New York Times, Jan. 4): "Two weeks before leaving office, Bill Clinton is frantically scrambling to patch together his claim to a legacy by undermining Israel's security and dividing Jerusalem.  Four weeks before facing ejection from office by irate Israeli voters, a desperate Ehud Barak has turned himself into a diplomatic doormat, making hitherto inconceivable concessions so that he can get past Election Day on the pretext of having achieved a truce.  These two men in political extremis represent nobody but themselves.  And yet Yasser Arafat has his lame ducks in a row: the lost leaders are pleading with him to accept sovereignty over the Temple Mount, splitting Jerusalem into unmanageable pieces, inviting the Palestinian takeover of Jordan, and placing essential West Bank air space in Palestinian hands.  [Arafat] wants to occupy Israel with millions of resentful Arab refugees whom Arab nations want no part of. "After the failure of Arab armies to strangle the Jewish state in its cradle in 1948, some 600,000 Arabs fled the country.  Arab nations have kept them and their descendants in camps of poverty and degradation ever since, fanning the flames of hatred.  In stark contrast, the 600,000 Jews who were driven out of neighboring Arab states were welcomed into Israel, where their grandchildren are now free and productive citizens. "Although the Palestinian demand to "return" is a retreat to unreality, Arafat has been using it to extract a surrender of Israeli security.  Clinton and Barak are cooperating in the deception: by striking the stern pose of refusing to turn vast areas of Israel over to the five million descendants of the Palestinians who fled, the Clinton "bridging proposal" professes to be evenhanded in caving in to every other Arab demand."

1. A THIRD-OF-A-MILLION PLEDGE FOR JERUSALEM
Between 300,000 and 400,000 people gathered for a mass rally last night opposing the division of Israel's capital.  The theme of the rally was, "Jerusalem: I Pledge Allegiance."  The huge crowds spilled over from Jaffa Gate all the way to the main Jaffa Rd. thoroughfare and into many of the adjoining roads.  Traffic was diverted away from the area, and many thousands of people could be seen coming and going by foot in all directions throughout the event.

Throughout the rally, pictures and photographs of Jerusalem - such as the City of David antiquities, the Temple Mount, and the liberation of the city in 1967 - were screened on the walls of the Old City near the Tower of David and Jaffa Gate.  Speakers included Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, former Supreme Court Chief Justice Moshe Landau, Avital Sharansky (wife of Yisrael B'Aliyah Party head Natan Sharansky), Chairman of Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations Ron Lauder, paratroopers such as Rabbi Yisrael Ariel who participated in the capture of Jerusalem in 1967, left-wing Rishon LeTzion Mayor Meir Nitzan, and organizer Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert.

Selected quotes:
Avital Sharansky:  "The refusenik Sylva Zalmanson, during her trial in Soviet Russia, read aloud to the judges the verse, "If I forget thee O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither."  My husband Natan, at the end of his trial there, when he was in genuine danger to his life, declared in unforgettable words, "Next year in Jerusalem."  We always knew that the freedom of Israel and the freedom of Jerusalem are one and the same."

Mayor Olmert addressed some of his remarks directly to U.S. President Clinton: "We are an old people, and we never forget our friends - but we also do not forget those who raise their hand against our most precious treasures.  Don't be the only U.S. President to go down in history as having proposed the division of Israel's eternal capital. Please, Mr. President, think about it."

Nurse Esther Arditi Bornshtein, known as the Angel in White:  "I immigrated from Italy, and served for two years in the Israeli Air Force as a medic.  During the Six Day War, when I was already a mother of two, I joined up with Mota Gur's paratroopers division that broke through the walls of the Old City.  I administered first aid to the heroes who were hit by the massive firepower of the Jordanians.  I am now a tour guide living in Jerusalem, "the joy of the whole earth, Mount Zion, the city of the great King."  ...I stand here today at the walls of Jerusalem, and pledge allegiance to a complete and undivided Jerusalem - forever!"

Former Supreme Court Chief Justice Moshe Landau:  "The organizers of this rally acted correctly in ensuring that it would have no political flavor - because the dream of the integrity of all Jerusalem is something that all the Jewish parties in Israel have in common, without any difference at all.  It is agreed upon by all those who understand the purpose of our presence here in this land, in this city, and especially the Temple Mount, which we have received as a precious deposit from those who preceded us, and we are obligated to return them to those who come after us, complete and whole.  The State of Israel does not belong only to those who reside here today, but is rather the country of all Jews, wherever they may be...  [When I was in the U.S.] I was witness to the deep excitement felt by Jewish audiences when they heard the wonderful song by Naomi Shemer called "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" (Jerusalem of Gold).  We pray that common sense and understanding will take root amongst them also, and then truly, true peace will reign here in United Jerusalem."

Yisrael Berko, a resident of the Old City:  "I was born in the Old City 13 years ago, in the building called Beit Reut.  I would like to say to all of you, in the name of my friends who live in Herod's Gate, in Damascus Gate, in Zion Gate, in Jaffa Gate, and all over the Old City:  We are not from the 'Moslem Quarter' or the 'Jewish Quarter' - we are from Jerusalem-Between-the-Walls, the undivided and complete city of Jerusalem.  No more quarters and sections - only Jerusalem, that will has always been and will always be the pinnacle of the Jewish longing and striving, the heart and center, of the entire Jewish nation!"

The entire crowd, led by radio personality and linguist Avshalom Kor, declared aloud and together the verses from Psalms, "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither.  Let my tongue cling to my palate if I do not remember thee."

Journalist Aryeh Bender of Ma'ariv wrote this morning, "This stand, one of the largest in the history of Israel, was impressive, unique, and moving.  There was a feeling of exaltation in the crowd...  The rally gave them a pick-up."

2. THE CHAIN THAT WASN'T, AND A WORD FROM THE SPONSOR
The police have confirmed that they did not allow the rally's organizers to carry out their plan for a human chain around the Old City walls, as a result of an agreement with the PLO's Fatah.
Arutz-7's Kobi Finkler reports that the Palestinians demanded that the police forbid the human chain between Damascus Gate and Herod's Gate [along the northern wall].  In return, Fatah promised that they would prevent Arab rioting and violence during the rally.  Jerusalem's new police commander, Mickey Levy, agreed to the deal and canceled the approval he originally issued for the human chain.

The rally was sponsored by an international organization called One Jerusalem, which is responsible for such efforts as an internet petition calling on the world community to recognize a united
Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, and a powerful 30-second video clip depicting the Palestinians' endangerment of children and manipulation of children's minds in their current fight against
Israel.  The petition can be signed at http://www.onejerusalem.org/home/index.asp, and the video can be received as an attachment by sending a blank email to:  hatredfromthecradle@IsraelNationalNews.com.  One Jerusalem was founded by a diverse group that includes MK Natan Sharansky, Ambassador Dore Gold, Prof. Eli Pollak, Rabbi Chaskel Besser, Douglas Feith, Yechiel Leiter, and others.

3. MOFAZ WARNS OF DANGERS
IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Sha'ul Mofaz says that the Clinton-Barak plan endangers Israel in general and Jerusalem in particular. Appearing before the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee today, Mofaz enumerated the severe problems he sees in Clinton's plan, among them the fact that it totally ignores the issue of Palestinian terrorism, and does not deal with the security dangers that will be caused by surrounding Jewish Jerusalem neighborhoods with Palestinian ones.  Mofaz emphasized how critical it is that the airspace of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza remain Israeli, and that the entire Jordan Valley, too, stay under Israeli control.

4. ARIEL SHARON REVEALS PLANS
The Knesset will conduct a special mid-recess session today, at the Likud's request, to discuss the diplomatic situation.  At the request of the One Israel (Labor) faction, the refusal of the Likud candidate for Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, to publicize his own peace plan will also be discussed.

Sharon has, however, revealed some important aspects of his strategy to the weekly magazine Kfar Chabad.  In the upcoming issue, to be published this Thursday, Sharon says, "The Oslo agreements became null and void the moment the current Palestinian violence started."  When asked why it is "so hard" for him to say so publicly, he answered, "Here, I am saying it as clearly as possible:  The Oslo agreements no longer exist, period."

When asked why is it that his campaign motto boasts that he will bring peace when it is not even clear if the Palestinians will agree to meet with him, Sharon answered, "Whoever thinks that only concessions will bring peace is mistaken.  I have frequent contact with Palestinian leaders, such as Abu Mazen...  [They respect me because] everyone respects someone who stands firmly on his own principles..."  Sharon also said that if he becomes Prime Minister, "all the Yesha settlements will remain in place, period," as they are all in zones required for Israel's security.  When asked, then, what are the "painful concessions" that he has said will be required for peace, Sharon said, "I mean that we will not re-conquer Shechem and Jericho, the birth-cradle of the Jewish nation.  I don't know of any nation that has given up on such precious historical national assets."

5. MORE CALLS FOR BARAK TO DROP OUT
Ehud Barak insists that he will not drop out of the race for Prime Minister, but calls for him to withdraw in favor of Shimon Peres continue to be sounded.  First it was Labor MK Avi Yechezkel, and today it is his former Bureau Chief, Chaim Mendel-Shaked. The latter, who resigned his position last August with criticism of Barak's functioning as Prime Minister, said today that Barak no longer transmits vision and hope, and that "if peace is important to him, he must quit now; in 2 or 3 weeks, it may be too late."  The Likud candidate, Ariel Sharon, leads Peres in the polls by a much smaller margin - if any - than he leads Barak.

The Meretz party is beginning a particularly vitriolic campaign against Ariel Sharon in the Arab sector.  A Meretz spokesman explained that the decision to run a separate campaign was designed to show that the party is independent.  Differences of opinion have surfaced between Labor and Meretz as to how to handle the Barak campaign. Prime Minister Barak had previously ordered an end to a campaign gimmick featuring photographs in Arab-language newspapers of the Sabra and Shatila massacres with the caption, "After all, you know who Ariel
Sharon is..."  Sharon was Defense Minister during the 1982 Peace for Galilee War, when Christian Phalangists massacred over 900 Palestinians in Lebanon, and he had been blamed for not doing enough to stop them.

TODAY'S HEADLINES:
   1. WILL BARAK STEP DOWN?
   2. SHARON AND PERES
   3. BARAK DENIES COLLABORATING WITH U.N.

***SPECIAL INSERT: Mayor Ehud Olmert's speech at the giant rally for
Jerusalem

1. WILL BARAK STEP DOWN?
Ehud Barak continues to face pressures to vacate his place in the Prime Ministerial race, and allow Shimon Peres to run instead. Barak's former aide, Chaim Mandel-Shaked, said today that Barak has already decided to quit, but has not yet set a date; the deadline to do so is two weeks from now.  Barak's brother Avinoam Brug is also in favor of making way for Peres, according to Mandel-Shaked, as are some Labor MKs; others, such as MK Yael Dayan, have said only that Barak should "consider" quitting the race.  The election will be held on Feb. 6th.

A Ma'ariv poll in Barak's hometown of Kokhav Ya'ir shows that even his own neighbors don't want him as Prime Minister.  The polls show that Kokhav Ya'ir residents prefer Sharon by a 2-1 margin: 62% would vote for Sharon, while only 31% would choose Barak.  "Barak's a very nice guy," one neighbor said, "but I can't accept his policies."   "Right and left, we will unanimously support him if he wants to run for head of our local council," another said.

2. SHARON AND PERES
How will the Likud's Ariel Sharon, who currently leads Barak by a wide margin in the polls, deal with a Peres candidacy, in case Peres in fact replaces Barak?  MK Limor Livnat of the Likud said that her party is prepared not only for Peres, but for every campaign trick that Labor may come up with:  "We are saying not only that Barak failed as Prime Minister, but also that the Labor party's entire concept [regarding the Palestinians] has failed and collapsed - as we see that there is not only no peace, but almost-daily terrorist attacks everywhere.  Peres, too, is quite involved in the Oslo fiasco; he is largely responsible for the Oslo approach, and when terrorism intensified during his term as Prime Minister [following Rabin's assassination], his strategy was to speed up the negotiations."

MK Livnat attempted to clarify for Arutz-7 listeners what exactly is meant by the campaign motto, "Only Sharon Can Bring Peace:" "First of all, there will be absolutely no negotiations while the violence is raging.  Then, once personal security is restored, we will demand that the Palestinians fulfill all their previous obligations - collecting illegal weapons, returning terrorists to jail, etc.  We can then return to the talks from a position of strength, not from weakness. Sharon will then conduct the talks with his stated red lines: Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley remain Israeli, etc.  He has not gone into greater detail, because it would be stupid to start negotiations with the Palestinians publicly and during the campaign - whatever he would say would then just be used by the Palestinians as a starting position beyond which they will then demand more..."

3. BARAK DENIES COLLABORATING WITH U.N.
The Prime Minister's Bureau released a terse one-sentence statement today, denying any basis to "reports [that] Prime Minister Barak requested that US President Bill Clinton initiate an appeal to the United Nations Security Council."  The reference was to an accusation by Ariel Sharon yesterday that Barak had pressured the Americans to get the UN to ratify current plans for an Israeli-Palestinian agreement.

Sharon told his party's Knesset faction yesterday that one of Barak's staffers had asked Clinton to anchor his proposals for the division of Jerusalem and the evacuation of almost all of Judea and Samaria and its Jewish communities in a UN decision.  "This is unprecedented in its severity," Sharon said, "and something that could complicate Israel for years...  It could lead the UN to impose sanctions on Israel.  This is the first time in Israeli history that an Israeli Prime Minister has agreed to allow the UN to make decisions about Israel's future.  And it is being done only for electoral considerations..."

Despite the denial by the Prime Minister's Bureau, when Dr. Aaron Lerner of IMRA <"www.imra.org.il"> asked Barak's spokeswoman Meirav Parsi-Tzadok what is the Prime Minister's stand regarding the "bringing of a summary before the UN or some other international body before the Israeli public has had its say," she refused to provide a direct answer.


***SPECIAL INSERT:
Excerpts from Mayor Ehud Olmert's speech at Monday night's giant rally for Jerusalem: "I have never felt deeper excitement than that which I feel now, as I gaze upon you spread out all over the streets of Jerusalem, crowded, enthusiastic, and emotional as you are.  I am deeply moved, because this is not a protest, or a political gathering - this is the true manifestation of the connection that the Jewish People feels towards its eternal capital!  You have come from all over the country tonight to say to the whole world:  We are here, we will remain here, because this city is the basis of our existence, the subject of our longings, the unfulfilled dream throughout our history...  This city was always the center of our national longings. What held our nation together was the hope to return to it and to stay here forever and ever. "This gathering is not against anyone, and we have not come to protest against anything.  We have come to express in the most clear and straightforward way our deep bonds to this city and what it symbolizes.  And standing out from amongst all its neighborhoods is the Temple Mount, the place to which the People of Israel always prayed thrice a day.  Turning towards it, longing for it, crying for it, giving their soul for it, the Jews always thought of one place: this mountain, upon and inside which still lay the remnants of our Holy Temples.... "Throughout our history, we have always prayed for and sought peace.  There is no people who wants peace more than we do, none have sacrificed for it more than we have. But no nation has ever been asked to sacrifice its most important treasures in order to appease another people!  And we too, no matter how dedicated to peace we may be, we will not give up our most precious and important national treasures of Jewish history!  For us, there is one and only one city!  It will accept and tolerate all its residents, from all nationalities and religions - but it is one city, not divided, not in pieces - just one entire and whole city, the capital of the Jewish People! "Dear friends, I feel that in your name and on your behalf, I must say something to a man who in the past eight years has been very involved in everything that is happening here, whose friendship for Israel have learned to recognize.  I allow myself to turn from here, the heart of Jerusalem, to U.S. President Clinton in friendship and with modesty, and say:  You were a great friend of Israel for eight years.  It would be such a shame if all that will remain of these friendship-filled years would be the fact that you, Bill Clinton, will be the first President in U.S. history who has proposed the division of Jerusalem!  I ask you, even now, Mr. President:  Don't be the first American President to raise his hand to divide Jerusalem!  Jerusalem will not be divided!  Don't be the one who enters history as the one who proposed it.  We are a nation with a memory of thousands of years, we don't forget anything, and we don't forgive those who don't respect our deep feelings for our capital city...  We never ever forget those who dare to raise their hand against our most precious assets.  Please, Mr. President, think about it again." "In this greatest of all rallies that have ever convened in this city, let us hold hands together, with a feeling of internal unity, love, dedication, and great determination, that we will act responsibly, with restraint, but without hesitation, so that Israel will continue to control this city as it must be forever - one city, united and whole!  Jerusalem, I pledge!"
