MR. McCLELLAN: Well, our position is --

Q We have heard no word of condemnation, there's daily slaughter of the Palestinians.

MR. McCLELLAN: Those are issues, actually, that we have discussed with the government of Israel. The President has made our views very well known and our concerns known about the fence and the importance of the Palestinians being able to move about more freely. And so those views have been well known, and there are some additional steps that the government of Israel has talked about in that area.

Q But should they be taking so much more Palestinian land as they leave?

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, again, we remain in contact with all parties in the region. I think one thing that's important to emphasize is the need for the Palestinians to act, to crack down on terrorism and dismantle terrorist organizations.

Q Terrorism you equate with trying to defend your own land?

MR. McCLELLAN: That is the foundation for moving forward in the region.

2-13 - President Moshe Katzav urged to ensure freedom and safety of media in Palestinian fighting Reporters Without Borders urged France today to press Israel to guarantee the freedom and safety of foreign and Palestinian journalists working in Israel and the Palestinian territories occupied by the Israeli army. The organisation said it feared failure to publish the results of the Miller investigation and making only a partial enquiry into Darwazi's death would mean that those who killed the journalists would not be punished at all, leading to new such abuses in the coming year. It said lack of a clear message from Israeli military and political leaders about ensuring journalists' freedom and safety would also encourage new shootings.

"As long as the perception exists that America has double standards -- that it indulges the Israelis while being tough on Muslim regimes -- they're not going to get very far."
