Zvi Bar’el, Haaretz, November 18:
When Israel approves a new, constraining law in honor of the [Annapolis] conference and on the Palestinian side the expression “Jewish state” becomes a minefield, one gets the feeling the conference will create more traps for the future instead of removing those of the past. The conference has already achieved one thing – Olmert can praise Abbas and say there is finally a Palestinian partner. But sadly for him, there is no Israeli partner.
