The peace process in the Israeli press was given a wide coverage. The period under study was the second six months of 2004 till the first half of the year of 2005. The issues include Israel’s dismantlement of colonies in Gaza, opinions of settlers, and the view of the Israeli government. The building of the “separation wall” was also tackled as well the international reaction to it, and the Israeli press was particularly interested in the ceasefire with the Palestinians, the post-Arafat situation as well as the Palestinian elections and the participation of Hamas in the local and legislature polls and its effects on the peace process. The Syrian file and the Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon was also given much attention. The views of Israeli writers are much aired in this section to show how Israelis are looking at events in the light of the continuing Intifada, or in the withdrawal from Gaza.
