Trump defends his Supreme Court nominee, wants accuser to testify-[Reuters]-By Lawrence Hurley and Roberta Rampton-YAHOONEWS-September 19, 2018

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Wednesday stepped up his defense of his U.S. Supreme Court pick, saying it is hard to imagine Brett Kavanaugh committed a sexual assault and that it would be unfortunate if the nominee's accuser does not testify before the Senate.Trump made his remarks a day after lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford, a university professor in California, said she would testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee only if the FBI first investigates her allegation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in 1982 when both were high school students in Maryland.The FBI has said it is not investigating the matter. Ford's demand cast doubt on whether a hearing planned by the committee for Monday to hear testimony from Kavanaugh, who has called the allegation "completely false," and Ford will occur.The allegation has placed the nomination of Kavanaugh, a conservative federal appeals court judge, in peril. The Senate must confirm nominees to lifetime posts of the top U.S. court."Look, if she shows up and makes a credible showing, that will be very interesting and we'll have to make a decision. But I can only say this: he's such an outstanding man - very hard for me to imagine that anything happened," Trump told reporters at the White House.The Republican president said he wanted the Senate confirmation process to play out."If she shows up, that would be wonderful. If she doesn't show up, that would be unfortunate," Trump added."I think he's an extraordinary man. I think he's a man of great intellect, as I've been telling you, and he had this unblemished record. This is a very tough thing for him and his family. And we want to get it over with," Trump said.Ford has accused Kavanaugh of attacking her and trying to remove her clothing while he was drunk at a party in 1982 when he was 17 years old and she was 15. Ford's lawyers said in a letter sent on Tuesday to Senator Chuck Grassley, the Judiciary Committee's Republican chairman, that she has faced "vicious harassment and even death threats" since coming forward on Sunday.At the U.S. Capitol, Grassley said he was trying to get Ford to testify by Monday, publicly or privately."I'm concentrating on doing everything I can to make sure Dr. Ford is comfortable to testify," Grassley told reporters. "We have to make plans for her to come and that's what I'm concentrating on."The allegation has roiled a confirmation process that once appeared smooth for Kavanaugh, who if confirmed could consolidate the conservative grip on the top U.S. court.The confirmation fight comes just weeks before Nov. 6 congressional elections in which Democrats are seeking to win control of Congress from Trump's fellow Republicans.Republicans control the Senate by only a narrow margin, meaning any defections could sink the nomination and deal a major setback to Trump, who has been engaged in a so-far successful effort since becoming president last year to move the Supreme Court and broader federal judiciary to the right.'FINDING THE TRUTH'-Republican panel member Lindsey Graham said on Twitter that requiring an FBI investigation of a 36-year-old allegation "is not about finding the truth, but delaying the process till after the midterm elections."In a statement on Tuesday Grassley said, "Nothing the FBI or any other investigator does would have any bearing on what Dr. Ford tells the committee, so there is no reason for any further delay."The Justice Department has said that the FBI sent the initial letter Ford wrote making the allegation against Kavanaugh to the White House and considers its role in the matter complete.Democrats have said the White House can order a more detailed FBI investigation, as occurred during the 1991 confirmation process for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas after he was accused of sexual harassment. Republicans have said the FBI would be doing nothing more than what committee staffers could achieve by interviewing Kavanaugh and Ford.Democratic former Attorney General Eric Holder said on Twitter that the FBI "should do routine, normal inquiry" concerning the Kavanaugh allegation.A spokesman for the police department in Montgomery County, Maryland, site of the alleged incident, said it has no investigation ongoing.A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday showed a growing number of Americans opposing Kavanaugh's nomination. In the poll, conducted from Sept. 11-17, 36 percent of U.S. adults surveyed did not want Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, up 6 percentage points from a similar poll a month earlier, while 31 percent favored Kavanaugh's appointment.A former classmate of Kavanaugh denied attending the party where the assault allegedly occurred. Patrick J. Smyth sent a letter to Grassley and top committee Democrat Dianne Feinstein, denying seeing any "improper conduct" by Kavanaugh, a classmate at Georgetown Preparatory School, according to CNN, which obtained a copy of the letter."I understand that I have been identified by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as the person she remembers as 'PJ' who supposedly was present at the party she described in her statements to the Washington Post," Smyth said in his letter, CNN reported."I am issuing this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh."(Reporting by Roberta Rampton, Doina Chiacu and Lawrence Hurley; Editing by Will Dunham)

Abbas says mogul Lauder floated backchannel to Netanyahu-Palestinian leader tells former MKs he agreed to the idea, but it never went anywhere; PA official says Abbas conditioned such talks on a settlement freeze-By Adam Rasgon-TOI-19 September 2018

World Jewish Congress president Ronald Lauder proposed running a backchannel between Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Palestinian leader said this week, but the initiative ultimately fizzled.Abbas told a group of former Israeli lawmakers that Lauder, who has been involved as a conduit between Netanyahu and Arab leaders for decades, floated the idea to him several months ago, according to former justice minister Yossi Beilin, who was at the meeting.Abbas said he gave Lauder, who was once close to Netanyahu and is a friend of US President Donald Trump, his commitment to participate in the channel of communication, but that nothing ever came of it, Beilin told The Times of Israel.Former Labor MK Efi Oshaya, who was also at the meeting, confirmed Abbas’s talk of Lauder’s backchannel proposal.Both Beilin and Oshaya said that Abbas did not provide any explanation as to why the line of communication did not materialize.“Abbas just said he accepted Lauder’s offer and then nothing happened,” Beilin said.The comments came during a Sunday evening meeting at the PA presidential headquarters in Ramallah. Former lawmakers Ophir Pinez-Paz, Yair Tzaban, Yosef Vanunu and others also participated.An official in Abbas’s office, who asked to remain unnamed, said that Lauder had previously suggested running a backchannel between the Palestinian leader and Netanyahu. The official, however, said that Abbas had told Lauder he would only participate in the line of communication if Israel enacts a freeze on settlement building.Nabil Shaath, Abbas’s adviser for international affairs, said he had not been generally aware of such a proposal for a line of communication between Abbas and Netanyahu.In the past several years, Abbas and Netanyahu have rarely communicated with each other. The two have not met for talks since 2010, at the tail end of a settlement freeze. Lower-level talks launched in 2014 failed to garner any breakthroughs and eventually fell apart.A spokesperson for Lauder said that the billionaire does not comment on private conversations.When asked if Lauder suggested to Netanyahu opening a line of communication between himself and Abbas, the Prime Minister’s Office declined to comment.Abbas and Lauder, an heir to the Estee Lauder cosmetics empire and head of the World Jewish Congress, have met several times in the past. The mogul has been dispatched by Netanyahu in the past as a go-between with Arab leaders, including Syrian President Bashar Assad.In May 2017, Maariv reported that Lauder hosted Abbas in his home in New York to prepare him for his first meeting with Trump on May 3, 2017. In the same month, The New York Times reported that Lauder had been “prodding Mr. Trump to forge an alliance with Abbas.”Trump has since recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, stopped funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, the UN-body tasked with aiding Palestinian refugees, and cut all civilian aid for projects in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, infuriating Abbas and other Palestinian leaders.In March 2018, Lauder authored a New York Times op-ed in which he asserted senior Palestinian leaders are “ready to begin direct negotiations immediately.” The op-ed also contained harsh opprobrium directed at Netanyahu over divisive Israeli legislation.Lauder and Netanyahu once maintained a close relationship, but their ties reportedly soured in 2011 after Channel 10, in which Lauder owns a stake, aired a documentary critical of Netanyahu’s wife Sara.Beilin, an architect of the Oslo Accords, also said that Abbas told the former lawmakers that he does not regret the landmark agreement, despite past statements in which he has threatened to leave the pact.“He said people on the Israeli and Palestinian sides say him and me are traitors because of our roles in the Oslo process,” Beilin said. “But he said he does not regret the process and believes we did the most important thing for our peoples.”The 25th anniversary of the signing of the first of the Oslo Accords took place last week. The Oslo Accords established the PA and mechanisms for cooperation between it and Israel. But the high hopes for peace that came with the 1993 signing have failed to materialize, leading despair among many Palestinians.Several Palestinian leaders marked the anniversary of the first of the Oslo Accords, blasting them including Hamas Deputy Chief in Gaza who called them “a catastrophe.”For his part, Abbas has said on more than one occasion in the past year that the Oslo Accords “are dead.”At a recent meeting of the Palestinian Central Council, the second highest decision-making body in the PLO, he also suggested that the Palestinians may renege on some of their commitments to the Oslo Accords.

Putin absolves Israel in downing of spy plane, but warns PM: Don’t let it recur-In call, Netanyahu expresses sorrow for deaths, hails security coordination; Putin says Israel attack breached Syrian sovereignty, but blames ‘tragic circumstances’ for plane loss-By Agencies and TOI staff-19 September 2018
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke Tuesday with Russian President Vladimir Putin amid rising tensions between the two countries after a Russian spy plane was shot down by Syria during an Israeli airstrike.“The prime minister, in the name of the State of Israel, conveyed sorrow over the deaths of the Russian soldiers and said that the responsibility for downing the plane falls on Syria,” a statement from Netanyahu’s office said.On Monday Syria accidentally shot down the Russian plane, killing all 15 crew members, when its air defenses swung into action against an Israeli strike. The Russian defense ministry blamed Israel, saying the IAF jets used the Russian plane as cover. However, Putin later told reporters that the downing of the plane by Syrian air defenses was a “chain of tragic accidental circumstances.”In their call on Tuesday afternoon, “Prime Minister Netanyahu noted the importance of the continued security coordination between Israel and Syria that has managed to prevent many casualties on both sides in the last three years,” the Israeli statement said.The Kremlin said that Putin emphasized that the Israeli attack violated Syria’s sovereignty and also breached the Russian-Israeli agreements on avoiding clashes in Syria. The Russian leader urged Netanyahu “not to allow such situations in the future.”Earlier Israel said its jets had attacked a Syrian military facility that manufactured “accurate and lethal weapons,” which were “about to be transferred, on behalf of Iran, to Hezbollah in Lebanon.”Netanyahu told Putin that Israel was “determined” to prevent Iranian military entrenchment in Syria, and the attempts by Iran, which calls for the destruction of Israel, to transfer to Hezbollah lethal weaponry (to be used) against Israel.”Netanyahu also reiterated that Israel would completely share all the information it had on the circumstances of the raid and suggested sending Israel’s air force chief to Moscow to “deliver all the needed information.”The conversation came on Tuesday evening just before Israel began observing Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year.Earlier Tuesday Putin confirmed that Israel did not shoot down the plane.“It rather looks like a chain of tragic accidental circumstances,” Putin told reporters, rejecting any comparisons with the downing of a Russian jet by Turkey in 2015.“An Israeli jet did not shoot down our plane,” Putin said.The Russian defense ministry on Tuesday morning had blamed Israel for the accident and warned of reprisals.Putin said he had signed off on the defense ministry statement. “No doubt we should seriously look into this,” Putin said, speaking at a news conference after talks with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.Israel said its deputy ambassador in Moscow Keren Cohen-Gat was summoned to the Russian foreign ministry.  The Israeli Foreign Ministry said there would be no comment on what was discussed.Putin also said Moscow would beef up security for Russian military personnel in Syria as a priority response. “These will be the steps that everyone will notice,” he said, without providing further details.He expressed condolences to the families of the victims, calling the accident a “tragedy for us all.”Syria accidentally shot down the Russian plane late Monday, killing all 15 crew members, when its air defenses swung into action against an Israeli strike. The incident was the worst case of friendly fire between the two allies since Russia’s game-changing military intervention in September 2015.The Russian plane was downed by a Russian-made S-200 air defence supplied to Syria.The Israeli military on Tuesday acknowledged conducting an airstrike against a Syrian weapons facility the night before and “expressed sorrow” for the deaths of the 15 Russian airmen.In a statement, however, the Israel Defense Forces denied all responsibility for the downing of the Russian spy plane, saying that Syria, Iran and Hezbollah were the ones at fault.“Israel expresses sorrow for the death of the aircrew members of the Russian plane that was downed tonight due to Syrian anti-aircraft fire,” the IDF said, and noted that the Russian plane that was hit “was not within the area of the operation.”The Israeli strike was conducted at approximately 10 p.m. by four F-16 fighter jets, according to the Russian military.Syrian air defenses opened fire at the incoming missiles, at the attacking aircraft and — according to Israel — at nothing in particular. The Russian Il-20 was shot down in the air battle, along with its crew.“The Syrian anti-air batteries fired indiscriminately and, from what we understand, did not bother to ensure that no Russian planes were in the air,” the army said.According to the IDF, the target of its Monday night strike was a Syrian military facility that manufactured “accurate and lethal weapons,” which were “about to be transferred, on behalf of Iran, to Hezbollah in Lebanon.”The target of the Israeli strike was identified by Syria as a subsidiary of its defense ministry, known as the Organization for Technical Industries, which has suspected ties to the country’s chemical weapons and missile programs.“These weapons were meant to attack Israel, and posed an intolerable threat against it,” the army said.Though Israeli officials have said, generally, that military conducts operations inside Syria against Iranian and Hezbollah targets, the IDF rarely acknowledges specific airstrikes, preferring instead to adopt a formal policy of neither confirming nor denying the attacks attributed to it.The military said its initial investigation found that its strike was completed before the Russian plane entered the area of the operation and that the reconnaissance aircraft was shot down after the Israeli fighter jets had returned to Israeli airspace.“Israel holds the Assad regime, whose military shot down the Russian plane, fully responsible for this incident. Israel also holds Iran and the Hezbollah terror organization accountable for this unfortunate incident,” the army added.This appeared to refute the claim made by Moscow that the Israeli pilots used the surveillance plane as cover for their attack.Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu also accused Israel of failing to inform the Russian military of its plans, which he said would have been in the “spirit” of Israeli-Russian coordination in Syria. The Russian defense ministry said Israel warned them of the impending strike “less than a minute” before it began, which left them insufficient time to clear their personnel from the area.The Israeli and Russian militaries maintain what they call a “deconfliction mechanism,” which is meant to coordinate their activities in Syria in order to avoid incidents like this one. Until Monday night, these efforts had largely succeeded in preventing direct or indirect clashes since Russia became more deeply involved in the Syrian civil war three years ago.The Israeli military said it had coordinated with Russia ahead of the attack, though it did not address Moscow’s specific claims about the amount of time between the notification and the airstrike itself.The IDF also said it would “share all the relevant information with the Russian government to review the incident and to confirm the facts in this inquiry.”

Trump pledges strong federal support for hurricane-stricken Carolinas-[Reuters]-By Jeff Mason and Ernest Scheyder-YAHOONEWS-September 19, 2018

HAVELOCK/WILMINGTON, N.C. (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday promised that North and South Carolina would have strong federal support as they recovered from the devastation of Hurricane Florence, whose floodwaters continue to threaten the region."We're going to be there 100 percent," Trump told officials at a briefing shortly after arriving at the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in Havelock, North Carolina. "... There will be nothing left undone. You'll have everything you need."Trump, who has been criticized for his handling of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico last year, also thanked first responders for their work since Florence made landfall on Friday and recapped the efforts to get food to residents and restore power.He was accompanied by Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Brock Long, Senators Richard Burr and Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott of South Carolina.More than 15,000 people remain in shelters and more than 200,000 customers are without power across North Carolina because of Florence, which came ashore as a Category 1 hurricane, according to state officials.Although the storm is long gone, river flooding still poses a danger to the area. The Cape Fear River was expected to crest at 61.5 feet (19 meters), four times its normal height, on Wednesday in Fayetteville, a city of 200,000 near the Fort Bragg army base in the southern part of the state, according to the National Weather Service. That has disrupted efforts to restore power, clear roads and allow evacuated residents to go home."There is a strong potential that those who live within the 1-mile evacuation area of the Cape Fear River will be impacted by flooding," the city said in a statement.The city manager told CNN that 12,000 people are "in harm's way."Florence has killed at least 36 people, including 27 in North Carolina, eight in South Carolina and one in Virginia. Two of the South Carolina victims were mental health patients who drowned on Tuesday when a van carrying them was swept away by floodwater.SWOLLEN RIVERS-Thousands of rescues have taken place in the Carolinas. Fire and rescue crews were waiting to go into many areas to assist with structural damage resulting from Florence, which has dumped up to 36 inches (91 cm) of rain in parts of North Carolina since Thursday.At least 16 rivers remained at a major flood stage, with three others set to crest in the coming days in North Carolina, the state said.In the town of Fair Bluff, North Carolina, which has struggled to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Matthew in 2016, only about 50 residents remained on Tuesday, Fair Bluff Police Chief Chris Chafin told Reuters.The town has largely been cut off by flooding from the still-rising Lumber River, which was expected to crest on Wednesday.As Florence was bearing down on the Carolinas last week, Trump reignited the controversy over his handling of Maria by disputing the official death toll of 2,975 in the U.S. territory, which was compiled by public health experts at George Washington University. Trump said, without offering evidence, that Democrats had inflated the figure to make him look bad.Maria also devastated the infrastructure of Puerto Rico, whose 3 million citizens are Americans but do not vote in presidential elections, and left much of the island without power for months. Critics said the Trump administration was slow to recognize the extent of the damage and slow to help.Former basketball star Michael Jordan, a native of Wilmington, North Carolina, and the principal owner of the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association, donated $2 million to the Florence recovery effort, the team said.(Reporting by Ernest Scheyder and Patrick Rucker; Additional reporting by Roberta Rampton in Washington, Bernie Woodall in Miami; Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee; Jessica Resnick-Ault and Barbara Goldberg in New York; Anna Mehler Paperny in North Carolina and Dan Whitcomb in Los Angeles; Writing by Dan Whitcomb and Bill Trott; Editing by David Stamp and Paul Simao)

Palestinian attempts Yom Kippur stabbing in Jerusalem, is killed — police-Cops say assailant knocked a Jewish man to the ground, ran at them with sharp object, outside the Old City just after start of fast day-By TOI staff and AFP-19 September 2018

A Palestinian attempted to carry out a stabbing attack outside Jerusalem’s Old City on Tuesday evening, and was shot dead by Israeli police, Israeli and Palestinian officials said.An Israeli police statement reported “an attempted stabbing attack” near Damascus Gate, saying “a police unit at the spot neutralized the suspect,” with the Palestinian Authority’s health ministry saying it was informed of the death of a civilian by gunshots.According to police, the attacker ran at a Jewish man and knocked him over onto the ground; he then “continued running toward the police officers while waving a sharp object and trying to harm them.”The assailant was a 26-year-old from the Qalandiya refugee camp outside Jerusalem, who was in Israel illegally, according to the Haaretz website.Police did not say if anyone else was harmed in the incident. It occurred just after sunset on Tuesday, as Jews began observing Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.“The widespread deployment of police in Jerusalem and their alertness prevented an attack that could have ended with harsh results,” police said.On Sunday an Israeli man, Ari Fuld, was killed by a Palestinian terrorist in the West Bank in a stabbing attack.Security camera footage of the shopping mall at the Gush Etzion Junction released on Monday showed Fuld, fatally wounded and with blood pouring down his back, chasing and shooting his attacker 17-year-old Khalil Jabarin. Jabarin was chasing after his next target, Hila Peretz, a woman who worked in a local falafel store, when Fuld and another Israeli civilian opened fire, preventing the continuation of the attack and moderately injuring the terrorist.Fuld, a resident of the nearby Efrat settlement and father of four, was rushed to a Jerusalem hospital, but was declared dead shortly after.Earlier Tuesday Police arrested five Muslim activists on the Temple Mount and accused them of trying to obstruct a group of Jewish visitors touring the flashpoint Jerusalem holy site.Tensions are often increased around Jewish holidays, which often see an uptick in the number of  Jewish visitors to the site.According to the police and video from the scene, the five suspects belong to the Al-Aqsa Youth organization and had blocked a group of Jewish religious visitors.“Police asked them several times not to disturb the public order and not to interfere with the proper functioning of the visits, but they did not respond,” a police spokesperson said in a statement.Video from the incident released by the left-wing Ir Amim organization showed police scuffling with a group of Muslims on the compound, which houses the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque and is known as the Haram al-Sharif in Arabic.According to Ir Amim, police had tried to move two people who work for the Waqf Islamic endowment, which administers the site, from a path where the Jewish visitors had been walking.A Waqf spokesperson said four people were injured in the fighting.The spokesperson accused the police of “assaulting …Waqf officials, mosque guards and worshipers,” the official Palestinian Authority news outlet Wafa reported.According to the prevailing status quo at the site, Jews are allowed to visit but not pray there. Visits by religious Jews are closely guarded by a police escort and Waqf representatives generally also follow the groups closely.Police said earlier in the week that they would beef up their presence in the Old City for Yom Kippur and the Muslim holy day of Ashura, which falls the next day.

Palestinians say 2 killed in fresh Gaza border clash-Two other Palestinians were killed in airstrike near the border late Monday after they appeared to place a suspicious object near fence-By Agencies and TOI staff-19 September 2018

Two Palestinians were reportedly killed by Israeli fire in clashes along the Israel-Gaza border Tuesday evening, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in the coastal enclave.The two men were killed during fresh protests near the Erez checkpoint between Gaza and Israel, the scene of regular confrontation between stone-throwing youths and Israeli soldiers in recent months.There was no immediate comment from the army about the clashes that came just after the start of the Yom Kippur holiday in Israel.The clashes came after two Gazans were killed in an Israeli strike near the border fence with the enclave, the ministry said early Tuesday.The Israel Defense Forces had earlier said Monday night that its aircraft targeted Palestinians who approached the fence and placed what the military said was a suspicious object.“An IDF aircraft attacked terrorists who approached the fence in the southern Gaza Strip in a suspicious manner and planted a suspicious object along it,” the army said in a statement.According to Palestinian sources, the incident took place east of Khan Younis, in the southern Strip.The Gaza-Israel frontier has been volatile for months, with the Hamas terror group leading weekly marches on the fence that have recently ramped back up after a brief lull in tensions.On Monday, thousands gathered on Gaza’s Mediterranean beach, near the fence separating the territory from Israel.Some activists sailed in small fishing boats near the fence, flying the Palestinian flag. Israeli gunboats shot around the boats.Israel said some protesters on land burned tear gas and threw stones, and troops fired tear gas and live rounds.A group of Gazans were also said to have broken through the security fence and entered Israeli territory on Monday night, setting fire to an empty IDF sniper post near the border, according to an unconfirmed report.Twenty-six protesters were wounded by Israeli army fire, Gaza health officials said.Israeli fire has killed at least 131 Palestinians during the protests which began in late March. Hamas, which seeks to destroy Israel, has acknowledged that dozens of the fatalities were its members.Israel says its actions — and in particular the use of live ammunition — are necessary to defend the border and stop mass infiltrations from the territory. Israel has accused the Hamas terror group of encouraging the protests and using them as cover to attempt to carry out terror attacks, including firing at troops and attempting to breach the border fence.Last week, the Israeli military destroyed two improvised explosive devices that had been planted along the Gaza security fence, including one near the site of Monday night’s strike. One of the bombs had been hidden inside a blue jerry can, while the other was buried underground and connected to a receiver so it could be detonated remotely, according to the army.A surge of violence in Gaza began in March with a series of protests along the border that were dubbed the “March of Return.” The clashes, which Israel says are being orchestrated by Gaza’s Hamas rulers, have included regular rock and Molotov cocktail attacks on troops, as well as shooting and IED attacks aimed at IDF soldiers and attempts to breach the border fence.Gaza protesters have also launched incendiary kites and balloons into Israel, sparking fires that have destroyed forests, burned crops and killed livestock. Over 7,000 acres of land have been burned, causing millions of shekels in damages, according to Israeli officials. Some balloons have carried improvised explosive devices.

Tom Friedman urges Abbas, US Arab allies to say yes to plan with 2 key criteria-NYT columnist: Palestinians should promise backing for deal that offers demilitarized state, some E. J’lem rule; Israel must choose between separation, losing its Jewish democracy-TOI-SEP 19,18

New York Times foreign affairs columnist Thomas Friedman urged Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to reach out to the United States’ four key Arab allies, and suggest that they issue a unified “yes” to the much-anticipated Trump peace plan, so long as it provides for a viable, demilitarized Palestinian state in the West Bank and for a degree of Palestinian sovereignty in East Jerusalem.In an op-ed published on Yom Kippur, and coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the Israel-Egypt Camp David Accords, Friedman warned that the Middle East was again at a “fateful moment” and specified what he thought the Palestinians, Israel, the Trump Administration and its Arab allies could do to break the impasse.Abbas, he wrote, should turn to Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates “and propose that they collectively say ‘yes’ to engaging Trump and [his adviser/son-in-law Jared] Kushner if the US plan includes two criteria: It calls for a contiguous Palestinian state in the West Bank — not a bunch of disconnected cantons — and it grants Palestinians some form of sovereignty in predominantly Arab East Jerusalem, where 300,000 Arabs already live. (The authority will also have to agree that its state will be demilitarized.)”Such a gambit, Friedman asserted, “would give the Arab leaders cover with their publics for supporting a Trump plan and give the Palestinians cover for re-engaging with Trump.”Without those two key elements, he added, the Arab leaders would also be making clear that the much-anticipated Trump plan would be “dead on arrival in the Arab world, not just the West Bank.”Friedman’s article made no mention of another major Palestinian demand — central to the Hamas strategy for destroying Israel, and never relinquished in negotiations by Abbas —  for a “right of return” for millions of refugee descendants to today’s Israel.As things stand, he wrote, the familiar Palestinian strategy of “defiance and highlighting its victimhood is not working.” Elaborated Friedman: “The status quo is hammering Palestinians but, for now, is tolerable for everyone else. So the authority needs to get back to the negotiating table.”For Israel, the interest in advancing on such a basis was also clear, he asserted: “it’s choose separation from the Palestinians or get bi-nationalism or apartheid.”Unless there is dramatic progress, he warned, the PA could crumble, and then “Israel will have to take full responsibility for the health, education and welfare of the 2.5 million Palestinians in the West Bank. Israel would then have to decide whether to govern the West Bank with one legal authority or two, which would mean Israel would be choosing between bi-nationalism and apartheid, both disasters for a Jewish democracy.”While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been what Friedman called “a brilliant strategist in confronting Iran and managing Russia in Syria,” on the Palestinian front he devotes his energies to ensuring that “the Palestinians get blamed in the US for any absence of progress — without offering any new, or old, ideas on how to separate from them” in order to preserve Jewish, democratic Israel. Netanyahu, he charged, “is well on his way to going down in history as the Israeli prime minister who won every debate and lost Israel as a Jewish democracy.”As for the Americans, Friedman accused President Donald Trump of following “a pro-right-wing Jewish settler strategy” and branded Trump’s actions — notably including moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem, and defunding the Palestinians without seeking concessions from Israel on settlements or anything else — as “The art of the giveaway.”At Camp David, Friedman wrote, Egypt’s Anwar Sadat and Israel’s Menachem Begin made hard, correct choices.  Now, opined Friedman, “we’re again at a fateful moment. For the Palestinians, it’s choose nihilism or pacifism. For Israel, it’s choose separation from the Palestinians or get bi-nationalism or apartheid. For Jared and Donald, it’s either be serious — and be ready to take a tough stance with all parties, including Israel — or stay home.”Friedman quoted the former US Middle East peace envoy Dennis Ross, who served in both Republic and Democratic administrations, empathizing with his proposal. “The Palestinians can’t want to lose their governing authority in the West Bank,” said Ross. “And the Trump administration and Israel can’t want a total vacuum to emerge there, because in the Middle East, all vacuums are filled by something worse.”Were Abbas and America’s Arab allies to make plain their agreement to minimum foundations for talks, said Ross, the Palestinians would have Arab cover to return to negotiations, the Trump administration would feel pressure to offer a credible peace plan, and Israel, said Ross, would have “a partner and some fateful choices to make.”

Putin says Russia perfected weapons based on Syria campaign-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-September 19, 2018

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin says that the military's combat experience gained in Syria has helped develop new weapons systems.Russia has waged a campaign in Syria since September 2015, helping turn the tide of war in favor of Syrian President Bashar Assad. The Russian military has used the conflict to test its new jets, cruise missiles and other weapons in combat for the first time.Speaking Wednesday at a meeting focusing on military industries, Putin said that new Russian weapons excel their foreign equivalents.Putin singled out the new Sarmat heavy intercontinental ballistic missiles, the Su-57 fighter jet, the S-500 air defense system and the Armata battle tank, which are set to enter service in the coming years.
