Pope to visit Jordan during Holy Land trip

AFP
Amman (AFP) - Pope Francis will visit Jordan during a trip to the Holy Land next year, the state Petra news agency reported on Saturday, citing a senior Vatican source."During his (August) visit to the Vatican, King Abdullah II invited His Holiness to visit Jordan," Petra quoted Vatican foreign affairs official Dominique Mamberti as saying in Amman."We are currently looking at the preparations in detail for the visit, which should take place next year."The pope's visit to the Holy Land will begin in Jordan," Mamberti said after meeting Jordan's Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh.He said Pope Francis considers Jordan to be "a holy land, and one that respects religious pluralism... necessary to create a climate of peace not only in the Arab world but also across the entire Middle East."During an audience at the Vatican on October 17, Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas invited Pope Francis to the Middle East, saying he would "walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ".The invitation from Abbas followed one from Israeli President Shimon Peres earlier in the year.
Francis had already said he would like to visit the Middle East in 2014, but the Vatican has not yet officially confirmed the trip, despite a report by Israel's Channel 2 television that it will take place in March.Francis has said he would like to visit the patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I, spiritual leader of the world's Orthodox Christians.Last month, Abbas was the fourth Middle East leader to meet Pope Francis after Peres, Lebanese President Michel Sleiman and the Jordanian monarch.Unconfirmed information from Roman Catholic sources in the Holy Land indicated a possible papal visit to a refugee camp for Syrians in Jordan.Maronite sources have also hoped for a possible trip to Lebanon to preach reconciliation in the region.

Israel invited to join regional group at UN Human Rights Council

Inclusion in ‘Western European and Others Group’ marks a major diplomatic achievement for Jerusalem

November 30, 2013, 7:59 am 0-The Times of Israel
Israel on Friday was invited to join a regional group within the United Nations Human Rights Council, marking a major diplomatic achievement that significantly increases Jerusalem’s ability to advance its interests at the Geneva-based body.The council’s Western European and Others Group (WEOG) decided to invite Israel to join after none of the member states voiced opposition to the move within the 48-hour period prescribed earlier this week.According to Haaretz, WEOG is expected to publish an official announcement of the decision on Monday.“It’s the successful end to the Foreign Ministry’s diplomatic efforts, which have gone on for many long months,” a senior Foreign Ministry official was quoted by the paper saying.
However, Israel will most likely remain the target of disproportional criticism and condemnation from the council.The European states agreed to welcome Israel into their midst in exchange for Jerusalem’s return to the council and its participation in its Universal Periodic Human Rights Review process.Israel left the council a year and a half ago to protest its alleged anti-Israel bias. “Though it’s not yet final, we are hopeful that Israel will very soon be admitted into the Human Rights Council’s Western group, putting an end to a longstanding act of discrimination whereby the Jewish state was the only nation to be excluded from a regional group,” said Hillel Neuer, the director of Geneva-based nonprofit UN Watch.Admission to WEOG would allow Israel to participate with all other UN member states in receiving regular briefings, and have a say in the selection of council investigators, Neuer said. “More than anything, admission for Israel would be a sign of equal treatment, removing what has been an ugly stain of bigotry upon the reputation of the UN.”
However, he added, “it will not detract from the Arab states’ continued ability to target Israel in resolutions, urgent sessions and a special agenda item.”Human rights lawyer and pro-Israel activist Anne Bayefsky said Israel’s anticipated admission to WEOG is “indeed a major victory for Israel.”However, she too stressed that Jerusalem’s position within the body remains far from ideal. “It is important to recognize that [Israel's admission] says absolutely nothing about the UN Human Rights Council. This is a change made by the western group of states, and has nothing to do with the council itself,” she told The Times of Israel.
“At the council, Islamic states continue to hold the balance of power by controlling the African and Asian regional groups — which, taken together, form the Council majority. WEOG is vastly outnumbered at the council, and preposterous anti-Israel resolutions, and investigations and reports, will continue to flow like untreated water from a sewer.”Bayefksy, a senior fellow with the New York-based Hudson Institute, also pointed out that criticism of Israel remains an item on the council’s permanent agenda.While the WEOG states agreed to not to participate in discussions about Agenda Item 7 (“the human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories”) for the coming two years — as part of a deal to get Israel to cooperate with the council’s human rights review procedure — “much more is required to achieve the removal of the discriminatory item altogether,” she said.Earlier this month, senior diplomats from the US, Britain, Australia, Canada, Germany and France sent a letter to the UN’s institutions in Geneva and to the ambassador of Spain, who heads the WEOG, telling them to finally admit Israel into their circle, according to Haaretz.“We are strongly supportive of Israel’s membership at the earliest opportunity. We request that you kindly include this issue on the agenda of the next WEOG meeting in Geneva, to be held as soon as possible,” the letter read.Israel struck an agreement with most WEOG states about its inclusion in the group, yet the decision is only finalized once the group conducts a vote and officially invites Israel to join. Even Turkey — which could theoretically block Israel’s admission to the group, as the vote needs to be unanimous — indicated that it would not oppose a decision to include Israel if everyone else was in favor. The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem declined to comment.On October 29, Israel participated in the council’s so called Universal Periodic Review, during which it was widely criticized for alleged human rights abuses.

Peace deal still possible, Palestinian negotiator says

UN chief warns of ‘dangerous situation’ between Israel, Palestinians

On ‘International Day of Solidarity with Palestinian People,’ Ban Ki-Moon says he’s alarmed by escalation of violence, incitement

November 29, 2013, 11:39 pm 6
Earlier Friday, a senior Palestinian official said that peace negotiations with Israel have already failed, and that the prospect of freeing Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails is all that was keeping the talks alive.
Fatah Central Committee Member Nabil Shaath, a close adviser of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, told Maariv that “we are committed to negotiations for a nine-month period and are waiting until all 104 prisoners are released.”Israel agreed to release 104 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails in four waves as precondition to the talks, which began in late July. Over the past five months, Israel has released two waves of 26 prisoners apiece to the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The 21 men released to Ramallah last month were met with fanfare and celebration by thousands of Palestinians and Abbas.Under heavy American pressure and intense shuttle diplomacy by US Secretary of State John Kerry, Israel and Palestinians resumed peace talks five months ago after a three-year hiatus in negotiations. Although leaks about progress in the talks have been rare, they have been marked by difficulties including an uptick in Palestinian attacks against Israelis and, as previously mentioned, increased settlement unit announcements.
Kerry is due back in the region next week to meet separately with Netanyahu and Abbas. During his last stay in Israel earlier in November, Kerry made pointed remarks to the Israeli press about the ongoing talks.
“If we do not resolve the issues between Palestinians and Israelis, if we do not find a way to find peace, there will be an increasing isolation of Israel, there will be an increasing campaign of delegitimization of Israel that’s been taking place on an international basis,” he warned.

13  The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

26  Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.

Rouhani: Uranium enrichment to be determined by energy needs

Less than one week after sealing historic Geneva deal, Iran remains undeterred by Western doubts as to the nature of its nuclear program

November 30, 2013, 10:27 am 5-The times of Israel
Referring to Western concerns about the scale of the country’s nuclear program – “or, as you put it, how big the ‘size’ is going to be” – Rouhani said it would depend on “our needs for nuclear fuel.”Though he spoke in Persian, the Iranian president used the English word “size” in an imitation of Western leaders and negotiators, a slight smile on his face.Rouhani stressed that the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program could be attested to by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) cameras which monitors all of Iran’s nuclear activities.The IAEA has inspected Iran’s program regularly over the past decade, submitting its findings to the IAEA’s 35-nation board and the UN Security Council.But an interim nuclear agreement sealed between Iran and world powers in Geneva on Sunday boosts the scope and significance of the agency’s monitoring activities, making it the chief arbiter of whether Iran is keeping its end of the bargain — capping its nuclear program in exchange for some sanctions relief.Under the Geneva deal, inspectors will be able to visit Iran’s Natanz and Fordo enrichment sites daily and have greater oversight elsewhere. They will monitor Iran’s commitment to dilute or downgrade its stock of enriched uranium that is closest to weapons grade; to enrich only to levels far lower than weapons grade, and to turn all material it is enriching into oxide, which is difficult to reconvert.Even then, the agency’s expanded role has its limits.The IAEA shares fears by Washington and its allies that Tehran worked on a nuclear weapons program until 2003. And agency reports, based in part on US and other intelligence, say some activities may have continued beyond then.Iran denies such work. But it still declines to answer related IAEA questions or give agency experts access to sites, people and documents allegedly connected to such activity. And it refuses to give the IAEA authority to turn its inspectors into nuclear sleuths and allow them to roam the country in search of possible undeclared sites.
However, during Friday’s interview, Rouhani seemed undeterred by the doubts clouding the Geneva deal, expressing optimism about Iran’s increased engagement with the West and particularly with Washington, as well as about its prospects for financial growth as sanctions ease.The recently-elected leader, described by the FT’s Lionel Barber as the “friendlier face” of the Tehran regime, commented on the “serious economic problems” his government had inherited from his predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but said the situation was markedly improving.“This government has inherited serious economic problems … but we are very hopeful about the future of the country’s economy,” he said, citing his government’s success in curbing inflation in the three months since he took office.He added that one of his top priorities as Iran’s president was to decrease tensions vis-à-vis Washington and create mutual trust, step by step.“Problems of 35 years cannot be resolved in a short period of time,” Rouhani said. “If the steps taken in [the interim nuclear deal agreed in] Geneva are implemented carefully and precisely, it would mean that we have taken one step forward towards trust.”Praising the “change in atmosphere” he had perceived during his visit to New York to address the UN General Assembly, Rouhani said he had found US President Barack Obama to be “someone with very polite and smart language.”He added, however, that US-Iranian relations were still “very complicated.”Regarding the protracted civil war in Syria, Rouhani said he was concerned about the presence of terrorist groups on Syrian soil.“I basically consider the continuation of bloodshed and civil war in Syria to be against the region’s stability,” Rouhani said.He added that he was working with regional and European powers towards reaching a political solution to the conflict.“Whatever Syrian people wish for in the election, we all have to surrender to,” he said.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
