UN warns of fresh Israel-Lebanon war as peacekeeping mandate renewed-Resolution fails to mention Hezbollah by name, even as US says terror group has grown its arsenal and flaunts the ceasefire agreement-By Agencies-TOI-SEP 2,18
UNITED NATIONS — The UN Security Council warned Thursday that violations of the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel could lead to a new conflict and urged international support for Lebanon’s armed forces and their stepped up deployment in the south and at sea.The council’s warning against “a new conflict that none of the parties or the region can afford” came in a resolution adopted unanimously extending the mandate of the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon known as UNIFIL until August 31, 2019.Council members urged “all parties” to exercise “maximum calm and restraint and refrain from any action or rhetoric that could jeopardize the cessation of hostilities or destabilize the region.”UNIFIL was originally created to oversee the withdrawal of Israeli troops after a 1978 invasion. The mission was expanded after a 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah so that peacekeepers could deploy along the Lebanon-Israel border, to help Lebanese troops extend their authority into their country’s south for the first time in decades.The French-drafted resolution again urged all countries to enforce a 2006 arms embargo and prevent the sale or supply of weapons to any individual or entity in Lebanon not authorized by the government or UN force known as UNIFIL — an implicit criticism of the suppliers of weapons to Hezbollah, an Iran-backed terror group.But the text adopted by the Council does not mention Hezbollah by name, despite US demands.“All states shall take the necessary measures to prevent, by their nationals or from their territories or using flag vessels or aircraft, the sale or supply of arms and related materiel to any entity or individual in Lebanon other than those authorized by the Government of Lebanon or UNIFIL,” the resolution states.Rodney Hunter, the US Mission’s political coordinator, told the council that Hezbollah, with Iran’s help, “has grown its arsenal in Lebanon in direct threat to peace” along the boundary with Israel “and the stability of all of Lebanon.”Hunter said 12 years after the council imposed an arms embargo, “it is unacceptable that Hezbollah continues to flout this embargo, Lebanon’s sovereignty, and the will of the majority of Lebanese people.”Israel and Lebanon are still technically at war and the resolution reiterates the council’s call for Israel and Lebanon “to support a permanent cease-fire and a long-term solution.”The council also stressed “the necessity of an effective and durable deployment of the Lebanese Armed Forces in southern Lebanon and the territorial waters of Lebanon at an accelerated pace.”It called for UNIFIL, which has more than 10,000 troops deployed in southern Lebanon, and the Lebanese military to analyze the country’s ground forces and maritime assets.The council also called for the Lebanese government “to develop a plan to increase its naval capabilities … with the goal of ultimately decreasing UNIFIL’s Maritime Task Force and transitioning its responsibilities to the Lebanese Armed Forces.”A US diplomat said the aim of shrinking the UN maritime force, which consists of half a dozen military ships equipped with weapons and radar, was to cut the UNIFIL mission costs.Israel’s position on having an international naval force so close to its territory remains unclear.France’s deputy UN ambassador Anne Gueguen stressed that “only the presence of the Lebanese state and its armed forces will ensure security … and create the conditions of lasting stability in the south of Lebanon, and along its territorial waters.”
France says Iran ‘can’t avoid’ talks on missile program, regional meddling-French FM calls on Tehran to respect nuke deal, says it must also be open to discussing its 'nuclear commitments' after accord expires-By AFP-TOI-SEP 2,18
VIENNA — Iran “cannot avoid” talks on thorny issues like its ballistic missile program and role in Middle East conflicts, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian warned Thursday, as European powers work to rescue the beleaguered nuclear deal with Tehran.France, Germany, and Britain are leading European efforts to save the landmark 2015 deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program, which was thrown into crisis in May when US President Donald Trump withdrew and reimposed sanctions.Critics of the accord — which was also signed by Russia and China — say it is too narrowly focused on the nuclear issue and does nothing to curb Iran’s meddling in regional conflicts or its program to develop conventional ballistic missiles.The European Union is trying to find ways to maintain oil and banking ties with Iran after the second phase of US sanctions kicks in in November, and Le Drian said it was important to find ways to keep the Islamic Republic trading.But he warned that Tehran must keep up its side of the deal, and be prepared to expand talks.“Iran must respect the fundamentals of the JCPOA [nuclear deal] and I think that is the case,” Le Drian said as he arrived for a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Vienna.“But Iran cannot avoid discussions, negotiations on three other major subjects that worry us — the future of Iran’s nuclear commitments after 2025, the ballistic question and the fact there is a sort of ballistic proliferation on the part of Iran… and the role Iran plays to stabilize the whole region.“We must talk about these three subjects, Iran must be aware of this and that’s the message I send to them from Vienna.”Despite European pledges to keep providing Iran with the economic benefits it received from the nuclear deal, many major companies have already pulled out of the country for fear of US penalties.
Strike disrupts consular services at Israeli missions abroad-Some 600 supporting workers, but no diplomats, protesting Finance Ministry's 'stalling' on agreement meant to improve employment conditions-By Raphael Ahren-TOI-SEP 2,18
The Foreign Ministry’s Workers Union called a surprise warning strike on Thursday, disrupting the provision of consular services in several Israeli missions throughout the world.“Supporting workers at Israel’s delegations in the world are striking today to protest employment conditions,” read a handwritten sign in Hebrew posted at the entrance to the Israeli Consulate-General in New York City. The workers are claiming that the Finance Ministry is “stalling” in its efforts to find a solution to problems with working conditions that have arisen due to a new agreement with the Foreign Ministry, the sign read further. The did not say how long the strike would last.Some 600 so-called “supporting workers” (not diplomats) are currently striking, making up some 60 percent of the manpower running the Foreign Ministry’s missions abroad, according to the Hadashot TV news.The Foreign Ministry did not respond to a request for comment.The striking employees could seriously disrupt the work of Israel’s diplomatic missions abroad, but major trips by senior officials — such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned visit to New York next month — are currently not in jeopardy, according to diplomatic sources.Complaining about low remuneration and poor working conditions, Israeli diplomats have striked several times over the last few years. On Thursday, they argued that a deal struck with the Finance Ministry earlier this year has not been upheld.“The last thing we wanted is to strike,” the union said in a statement.“Just two days ago a delegation from the union returned to Israel after another round of negotiations that was supposed to have ended the labor dispute. We boarded the plane with the understanding that a solution was found, but the ongoing wrangling between the Finance Ministry and the Foreign Ministry is again being played out at our expense — and this we won’t allow.”
Trump claims Russia probe is ‘illegal’-President tells Bloomberg 'there never should have been a special counsel,' as Robert Mueller closes in on inner circle-By AFP-TOI-SEP 2,18
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday said the Russia collusion investigation headed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller is “illegal” as the probe continues to hone in on his inner circle.Trump told Bloomberg News in an interview that Mueller’s appointment last year to investigate his 2016 election campaign for possible collusion with Russia was wrong.“I view it differently. I view it as an illegal investigation,” he told Bloomberg.He cited unnamed “great scholars” who say that “there never should have been a special counsel,” according to the news agency.Some legal experts have questioned the Justice Department’s naming of Mueller, a former FBI director, to handle the probe in the absence of a specific law governing special prosecutors.But Trump’s own Justice Department says it is legal.Earlier this month Andrew Miller, a one-time aide to former Trump political consultant Roger Stone, challenged the legality of Mueller’s appointment in appeals court.Miller is battling a subpoena to testify on Stone in front of a Mueller-commissioned grand jury.Miller’s case, supported by the conservative legal group the National Legal and Policy Center, argues that Mueller’s appointment on May 17, 2017 violated the constitution because it was done by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and not by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.In fact, Sessions, who served on Trump’s election campaign, had already recused himself from the Russia investigation, leaving Rosenstein empowered to act as the attorney general in the case.Meanwhile a legal challenge to Mueller’s broad mandate to chase down any lead, even if only obliquely related to Russia collusion, has also been rejected in court.
In Germany’s far-right hotbed, fewer migrants but more fears-Extremists in Saxony are accused of using slaying in Chemnitz to rile up region where anti-migrant sentiment has long outpaced the actual number of foreigners-By Frank Jordans-TOI-SEP 2,18
CHEMNITZ, Germany (AP) — Anger over the suspected killing of a man by two refugees has sparked days of protests in this eastern German city, raising fresh concerns about the anti-migrant sentiment that has shaken up the country’s political system and seen the rise of a far-right party for the first time in decades.On Thursday, as hundreds of people protested nearby, the region’s governor tried to reassure a tense town hall meeting that the fatal stabbing of the 35-year-old German citizen wouldn’t go unpunished.“The wheels of justice move slowly, but they are thorough,” Gov. Michael Kretschmer told an at-times hostile crowd at the Chemnitz soccer stadium.Anti-migrant groups seized on Sunday’s slaying of Daniel Hillig, a carpenter from Chemnitz, mobilizing thousands to a protest the following day. At least 18 people were injured when far-right extremists in the crowd clashed with counter-protesters Monday.Footage of snarling skinheads chanting “Foreigners! Germany for Germans!” and hurling bottles as police struggled to keep the peace evoked memories of far-right violence that occurred in Germany during the 1990s, and, for some, of its dark Nazi past.Green party lawmaker Claudia Roth told German news agency dpa that “organized far-right extremists” appeared to be using public anger over the killing for their own ends.Kretschmer, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s center-right party, warned that Saxony’s image could suffer if foreigners get the feeling they aren’t safe there anymore. He cited an encounter with a Chinese woman earlier Thursday who told him she had been made to feel unwelcome in Chemnitz this week for the first time since moving there several years ago.Saxony has long been a hotbed of anti-migrant sentiment. It is home to the group Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West, or PEGIDA, and a stronghold of the far-right Alternative for Germany party, which received almost a quarter of the vote in the state last year.While the share of foreigners in Saxony remains below the national average, concern among the population about migrants committing crimes is particularly high.Many of the protesters outside the stadium Thursday refused to talk to the media, but those who did said they felt abandoned by politicians and were angry at the crimes committed by migrants.“I’ve got three daughters,” said Steffen Rake, a 52-year-old Chemnitz resident. “They don’t go to town alone anymore and the police are present now, but only because the governor’s coming.”Alina Hergesell, a woman in her 20s from nearby Erfurt, said she had been harassed by migrants in the past.“They need to follow our rules, not other rules,” she said.Sebastian Gemkow, Saxony’s justice minister, said authorities had initially been overwhelmed with the caseload caused by the influx of more than a million refugees in 2015 and 2016.Illustrating the problem, daily newspaper Die Welt reported that a 22-year-old Iraqi suspected in Sunday’s killing had applied for asylum in Bulgaria before coming to Germany and should have been returned there — but Germany authorities had failed to meet a deadline for his deportation.Prosecutors said a 23-year-old Syrian has also been arrested. Both are being held on suspicion of manslaughter, though authorities said the charge may be upgraded to murder.Merkel, who has condemned both the killing and the violent protests that followed, was mid-way through a three-day trip to Africa on Thursday.Among the top issues on her agenda there was how to prevent further mass migration from the continent to Europe.Germany’s long-time chancellor has come under pressure, including from her own party, to prevent a repeat of the influx seen three years ago and at the same time ensure the proper integration of those already in the country.At the site of Sunday’s killing, a message placed among hundreds of flowers and candles read: “Take away their knives or we’ll take away your elected offices.”
Tombstones toppled at Jewish cemetery in New Jersey-4 graves knocked over but not significantly damaged, in apparent act of vandalism at graveyard in Freehold Township-By JTA-TOI-SEP 2,18
Four headstones were toppled at a Jewish cemetery in New Jersey over the weekend.The toppled headstones were discovered on Sunday at the Congregation Agudath Achim Cemetery in Freehold Township in New Jersey. The headstones were pushed over sometime on Saturday or early Sunday morning, according to local reports.No other acts of vandalism were discovered in the cemetery, the local Asbury Park Press reported. The headstones were not significantly damaged, according to the report.One of the headstones belonged to a World War II veteran, Michael Berman, executive director of the Freehold Jewish Center, which operates the cemetery, told local media.“In terms of it being the desecration of a holy space, it is,” Berman told the Asbury Park Press. “Being Jewish, we’re all connected to our history. Our history, unfortunately, has some difficult times in the past and memories that go back to World War II and much farther than that.”The local chapter of the Anti-Defamation League called on the public to contact authorities if they have any information about the apparent vandalism of the headstones.We are disturbed by apparent vandalism in a #NJ Jewish cemetery where four headstones were allegedly knocked over this past weekend. We have reached out to local law enforcement & encourage anyone with information to contact 732-462-7500 or 732-294-2110 https://t.co/hp1juRlcyG— ADL New York / New Jersey (@ADL_NYNJ) August 29, 2018-Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Satellite photos said to show new Iranian missile factory in Syria-Noting facility's apparent similarity to Iran's Parchin complex, report says site likely spared from Israeli strike due to nearby Russia anti-aircraft battery-By TOI staff-SEP 2,18
Satellite photos published Thursday purported to show the establishment of an Iranian surface-to-surface missile factory in Syria, raising fresh concerns over the extent of the two countries’ military cooperation on Israel’s northern border.The photos, which were taken by ImageSat International and published by Channel 10 news, were said to show a facility outside Wadi Jahannam in northwest Syria resembling Iran’s Parchin facility, which has been linked to the Islamic Republic’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs.Beyond noting an apparent surge in construction work at the site and the building’s seeming similarity to Parchin, Channel 10 did not say how it was identified as a missile factory.Unlike other Iranian facilities in Syria that have been targeted in Israeli airstrikes, the report said the site was likely spared due to its close proximity to a Russian S-400 ant-aircraft battery, which is considered to be one of the most advanced air defense systems in the world.In July, Israeli jets reportedly targeted a missile production facility in nearby Masyaf, where a leading Syrian chemical weapons and missile scientist was killed earlier this month in a car bombing attributed to Israel.According to a New York Times report, Israel believed that Dr. Aziz Asbar was leading a classified weapons development program called Sector 4 at the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center, and was busy rebuilding an underground weapons factory to replace the one said destroyed by Israel.Israel did not comment on its alleged involvement in the July airstrike on the facility, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement following the raid that Israel “will not stop taking action in Syria against Iran’s attempts to establish a military presence there.”Iran has been one of the top military backers of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime in the over sever-year-long civil war in the country, as has been its Lebanese proxy, the Hezbollah terror group.Both Israel and the United States have called for the removal of all Iranian-backed forces from Syria. Russia, which like Iran is fighting on behalf of Assad, has expressed support for this goal but said it can’t force Iranian forces out of the country.Iran for its part has vowed to remain in Syria, and earlier this week the two countries signed a defense agreement during a visit by Iranian Defense Minister Amir Hatami to Damascus.Hatami said the pact would include the rebuilding of Syria’s military and defense programs.Netanyahu this week reiterated that Israel will continue to take action against Iran’s military entrenchment in Syria, and issued an emphatic warning against those who call for Israel’s annihilation, such as the Islamic Republic.“Whoever threatens us with destruction puts himself in similar danger, and in any case will not achieve his goal,” Netanyahu said during a ceremony at the nuclear research facility in Dimona.
Soldiers nab 3 Palestinians with pipe bombs in northern West Bank-Incident comes after police arrest two suspects armed with pipe bombs at nearby military courthouse-By Judah Ari Gross-TOI-SEP 2,18
Israeli troops on Thursday arrested three Palestinians who were in possession of “a number” of pipe bombs in the northern West Bank, the army said.The suspects were spotted outside the village of Deir al-Hatab, near Nablus, by soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras, and the troops were dispatched to arrest them.The three suspects were handed over to the Shin Bet for questioning.The incident came hours after police arrested two other Palestinian teenagers who were found holding improvised explosive devices outside a nearby military courthouse.The entrance to the Samaria Military Court in the village of Salem was briefly blocked and the area cordoned off, while a police sapper inspected the devices, which were found in plastic bags.Police said in a statement that officers noticed the “suspicious behavior” of the teens — aged 14 and 18 — and stopped them, thus foiling a terror attack at the court.One of the objects was revealed to indeed be a pipe bomb, while the two others were improvised explosive devices made from metal containers, police said.All the bombs were loaded with explosives and detonators, and were subsequently destroyed in a controlled explosion.The entrance to the court was then reopened, and the suspects were taken for questioning.Pipe bombs are frequently used by Palestinian assailants in attempted attacks at the Samaria Military Court.In May, security forces arrested two Palestinians after they were caught with three pipe bombs at the entrance to the court. The youths were also said to be in possession of a gas canister.On March 11, security forces foiled an attempt to smuggle two pipe bombs into the court when two Palestinians, both 16-year-old residents of Jenin, were detained by Border Police guards at the security checkpoint at the entrance to the court.Times of Israel staff and Jacob Magid contributed to this report.

Hawaii residents hit by floods from Hurricane Lane as new storm forms-[Reuters]-By Dan Whitcomb-YAHOONEWS-August 30, 2018
(Reuters) - Flash flood warnings were issued on Tuesday for the Hawaiian island of Kauai, with residents on the north coast told to evacuate and others left stranded by high water as the remnants of Hurricane Lane drenched the archipelago and a new storm brewed in the Pacific Ocean.Hawaii was spared a direct hit from a major hurricane as Lane diminished to a tropical storm as it approached and then drifted west, further from land. But rain was still pounding the island chain, touching off flooding on Oahu and Kauai."It has been a steady rain since after Lane but I got up 2:30 a.m. (Hawaiian Standard Time) to the National Weather Service flash flood advisory and that's when we put out the release as well as an island-wide telephone call," County of Kauai spokesman Alden Alayvilla said.The advisory urged residents near Hanalei Bridge on the north side of the island to evacuate their homes due to rising stream levels. A convoy that had been used to escort residents over roads damaged by historic floods in April between was shut down, leaving many cut off."Heavy pounding and hazardous conditions are being reported island-wide. Motorists are advised to drive with extreme caution. Updates will be given as more information is made available," the Kauai Emergency Management Agency said.A flash flood watch also remained in effect for Oahu, home to the state capital Honolulu and 70 percent of Hawaii’s 1.4 million residents.Micco Godinez, who lives on the north side of Kauai, said he found the only road out of Hanalei, where he lives, barricaded by police vehicles when he tried to leave for work on Tuesday morning. He expected to be stranded for at least another day."I can't get out at all," Godinez said. "Our little community of Hanalei is isolated and then west of us is even more isolated," he said.Even as Hawaii residents sought to recover from Lane, they kept a watchful eye on Tropical Storm Miriam, spinning in the Pacific Ocean some 2,000 miles to the east and expected to become a hurricane by the time it approaches the islands."Miriam is supposed to go north and dissipate in the colder waters and drier air, so I'm not really worried about it," Godinez said. "But it is hurricane season, and there's another one behind that. You know what they say: Without rain you wouldn't have rainbows."(Reporting by Dan Whitcomb; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)
Puerto Ricans Are ‘Outraged But Not Surprised’ By New Hurricane Maria Death Toll-[HuffPost]-Sarah Ruiz-Grossman-YAHOONEWS-August 31, 2018
After the governor of Puerto Rico raised the island’s official Hurricane Maria death toll to nearly 3,000 people, Puerto Ricans felt a range of emotions ― anger, frustration, grief ― but few were surprised.“I’m outraged but not surprised,” said Mariana Teresa Hernandez, a Puerto Rican mother who sent her two kids, ages 6 and 7, to live with their father in Chicago after post-storm power outages forced their school to shut down. “I knew from the start that things were really bad.”On Tuesday, Gov. Ricardo Rosselló increased the official count of those killed by the hurricane and its aftermath from 64 to 2,975 people, following the release of a new report commissioned by the governor and published by researchers at George Washington University. The revised figure would make Maria the deadliest U.S. natural disaster in over 100 years.Rosselló’s government was repeatedly criticized for sticking to the death toll of 64, even as experts argued it was likely a vast under-estimation of the actual number of fatalities caused by the September 2017 storm and its damage, including widespread monthslong power outages.Outside reports have produced estimates of the death toll far above the former official count. A New York Times analysis in December concluded that the death toll was more than 1,000 people. A Harvard study in May estimated that over 4,600 people died in the storm’s aftermath. Weeks ago, the Puerto Rican government quietly conceded that the count was likely more than 1,400 people in a report to Congress requesting more recovery funds.For Puerto Ricans who survived the storm and have since heard harrowing stories about people who died in its aftermath, the higher official toll confirms what they already knew. I was not surprised that the number was that high,” said 56-year-old Wanda Acosta, who lives in Rincon, a town on the island’s west coast. Her close friend’s mother died in the hospital following the storm, after the electricity was cut off, she said. “It was tragic.”Acosta called the previous official death count ― which the government maintained for over 11 months after the storm ― an “insult to all the families that lost a loved one.”In the aftermath of the storm last year, amid an island-wide blackout, Puerto Rico’s health system was shattered, leaving vulnerable patients in need of care ― and functioning medical technology.Mariluz Núñez, a cancer patient profiled by HuffPost, had to flee the island on a humanitarian flight to Florida one month later. After her house lost power, she began overheating and losing weight. Her doctor’s machinery was running on a generator and unable to complete necessary tests. Her friend, also a cancer patient, died two weeks after the hurricane.Learning of the updated death toll this week, Núñez’s 21-year-old son Jeancarlo said he was “incensed.”“I feel incensed, but not only because of the new figures of how many people died, but rather for the lack of importance that has been given to the issue,” he said, noting that the government had not made updating the death toll a priority. “It’s a lack of respect for those who died and their families, as well as all Puerto Ricans.”White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement Tuesday that the Trump administration was “supportive” of Rosselló’s “efforts to ensure a full accountability and transparency of fatalities” from the storm.“I think we did a fantastic job in Puerto Rico,” President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday, adding that the federal government had “put a lot of money and a lot of effort into Puerto Rico.”“I only hope they don’t get hit again,” Trump said. “Puerto Rico had a lot of difficulties before it got hit.”The Trump administration has been criticized for its slow and uneven response to Maria compared to its handling of disasters on the mainland. A March report in Politico showed that the administration had sent far more support last year to Texas after Hurricane Harvey than it did to Puerto Rico after Maria, both in terms of the speed and size of the assistance.“It’s still an unfolding humanitarian crisis and this federal government has refused to address the situation accordingly,” said Samy Nemir Olivares, 27, who was born and raised in Puerto Rico and whose parents still live on the island. “It feels infuriating and frustrating to see no response when literally thousands of people, American citizens,” have died.This article originally appeared on HuffPost.

Amid aid cuts, Jordan to host fundraiser for Palestinian refugee agency-'We cannot wish 5.3 million Palestinian refugees away,' UNRWA head says while calling for $200 million to close budget gap-By AFP and TOI staff-SEP 2,18
Jordan will host a fundraiser at the United Nations headquarters in New York next month to keep the agency for Palestinian refugees afloat, the kingdom’s top diplomat said Thursday.Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said the meeting, set for September 27 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, “aims to provide financial and political support to UNRWA.”The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees has been struggling to balance its books since the United States announced in January it was cutting its annual funding by $300 million.The Jordanian foreign minister said the New York event aims to “close the gap and put in place a plan that will ensure UNRWA’s continued, ongoing funding for the coming years.”It will also “reaffirm that UNRWA is an organization created by the UN General Assembly, with a clear and particular role, and this role must continue,” Safadi added.Speaking alongside the Jordanian foreign minister, UNRWA Director Pierre Krahenbuhl said the agency needs $200 million to continue its work until the end of this year.“We’re talking about human beings. We cannot wish 5.3 million Palestinian refugees away… these are people who have rights and for many years now, for decades, have faced a plight and an injustice that is simply immense,” said Krahenbuhl.The agency supports some five million registered Palestinian refugees and their descendants, and provides schooling for 526,000 children in the Palestinian territories, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan.But UNRWA has warned it currently only has the funds to keep its 711 schools open for the next month.By the end of September, “UNRWA won’t have a penny,” the agency’s spokesman Chris Gunness warned Wednesday.The agency was created in 1949 to support 750,000 Palestinians who fled or were driven from their homes during the war surrounding the creation of Israel. Several tens of thousands of them still alive today, along with their millions of descendants, are classified as refugees.Israel accuses UNRWA of helping to perpetuate the Palestinian narrative of Israel’s illegitimacy by, uniquely, granting refugee status to the descendants of refugees, even when they are born in other countries and have citizenship there, conditions that do not apply to the refugees cared for by the UN’s main refugee agency, UNHCR, which cares for all other refugees worldwide. The population of Palestinian refugees thus grows each year.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged that funding for Palestinian refugees be maintained, but not through UNRWA. Rather, he has called for it to be transferred through the UN’s main refugee body, UNHCR.Israel has often criticized UNRWA, accusing it of sheltering terrorists and allowing Palestinians to remain refugees even after settling in a new city or country for many generations, thus complicating a possible resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.US President Donald Trump’s administration has contributed $60 million to the agency in 2018, compared to more than $360 million last year.Last week his administration announced further cuts to Palestinian aid, slashing $200 million in funding for programs in Gaza and the West Bank.Relations between Washington and the Palestinian Authority nosedived after Trump in December formally recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.The Palestinian leadership has suspended contact with the US administration and says Washington can no longer play a mediation role in the Israel-Palestinian peace process.
U.N. fears chemical weapons in Syria battle with '10,000 terrorists'-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-SEP 2,18
GENEVA (Reuters) - The United Nations called on Russia, Iran and Turkey on Thursday to forestall a battle in Syria's Idlib province which would affect millions of civilians and could see both militants and the government potentially using chlorine as a chemical weapon.U.N. Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura said there was a high concentration of foreign fighters in Idlib, including an estimated 10,000 fighters designated by the U.N. as terrorists, who he said belonged to the al-Nusra Front and al Qaeda.There could be no justification to use heavy weapons against them in densely populated areas, he said. Miscalculations could lead to unintended consequences, including the possible use of chemical weapons."Avoiding the potential use of chemical weapons is indeed crucial," de Mistura told reporters in Geneva."We all are aware that both the government and al-Nusra have the capability to produce weaponized chlorine."Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem, speaking during a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Moscow on Thursday, said: "We are at the final stage of solving the crisis in Syria and liberating our whole territory from terrorism.""I assure you that we do not have chemical weapons and are not able to use them," he added, according to Syrian state news agency SANA.Idlib province is the last major rebel-held area in Syria, serving as what the U.N. has called a "dumping ground" for fighters and civilians evacuated from other battles. It is one of the areas that Russia, Iran and Turkey agreed to "de-escalate" last year at a series of talks in the Kazakh capital Astana.But a source said on Wednesday that Russia's ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, was preparing a phased offensive there.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that militants in Idlib had to be liquidated, describing them as "a festering abscess"."Why such a hurry, and not provide more time in order to allow more discussions, especially among the Astana guarantors?," de Mistura said, referring to Russia, Iran and Turkey.The potential battlefield contains two crucial roads, transport arteries between major Syrian cities, which the Syrian government argues must be made safe. De Mistura asked if it was necessary to create a "worst-case scenario" just to secure Syrian government access to the roads.It would be better to set up humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians than rush into a battle which could prove to be a "perfect storm", he said."The lives of 2.9 million people are at stake, and international mutually threatening messages and warnings and counter-warnings are taking place in the last few days."(Reporting by Tom Miles and Stephanie Nebehay; Editing by Alexandra Hudson.

UN warns of fresh Israel-Lebanon war as peacekeeping mandate renewed-Resolution fails to mention Hezbollah by name, even as US says terror group has grown its arsenal and flaunts the ceasefire agreement-By Agencies-TOI-SEP 2,18
UNITED NATIONS — The UN Security Council warned Thursday that violations of the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel could lead to a new conflict and urged international support for Lebanon’s armed forces and their stepped up deployment in the south and at sea.The council’s warning against “a new conflict that none of the parties or the region can afford” came in a resolution adopted unanimously extending the mandate of the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon known as UNIFIL until August 31, 2019.Council members urged “all parties” to exercise “maximum calm and restraint and refrain from any action or rhetoric that could jeopardize the cessation of hostilities or destabilize the region.”UNIFIL was originally created to oversee the withdrawal of Israeli troops after a 1978 invasion. The mission was expanded after a 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah so that peacekeepers could deploy along the Lebanon-Israel border, to help Lebanese troops extend their authority into their country’s south for the first time in decades.The French-drafted resolution again urged all countries to enforce a 2006 arms embargo and prevent the sale or supply of weapons to any individual or entity in Lebanon not authorized by the government or UN force known as UNIFIL — an implicit criticism of the suppliers of weapons to Hezbollah, an Iran-backed terror group.But the text adopted by the Council does not mention Hezbollah by name, despite US demands.“All states shall take the necessary measures to prevent, by their nationals or from their territories or using flag vessels or aircraft, the sale or supply of arms and related materiel to any entity or individual in Lebanon other than those authorized by the Government of Lebanon or UNIFIL,” the resolution states.Rodney Hunter, the US Mission’s political coordinator, told the council that Hezbollah, with Iran’s help, “has grown its arsenal in Lebanon in direct threat to peace” along the boundary with Israel “and the stability of all of Lebanon.”Hunter said 12 years after the council imposed an arms embargo, “it is unacceptable that Hezbollah continues to flout this embargo, Lebanon’s sovereignty, and the will of the majority of Lebanese people.”Israel and Lebanon are still technically at war and the resolution reiterates the council’s call for Israel and Lebanon “to support a permanent cease-fire and a long-term solution.”The council also stressed “the necessity of an effective and durable deployment of the Lebanese Armed Forces in southern Lebanon and the territorial waters of Lebanon at an accelerated pace.”It called for UNIFIL, which has more than 10,000 troops deployed in southern Lebanon, and the Lebanese military to analyze the country’s ground forces and maritime assets.The council also called for the Lebanese government “to develop a plan to increase its naval capabilities … with the goal of ultimately decreasing UNIFIL’s Maritime Task Force and transitioning its responsibilities to the Lebanese Armed Forces.”A US diplomat said the aim of shrinking the UN maritime force, which consists of half a dozen military ships equipped with weapons and radar, was to cut the UNIFIL mission costs.Israel’s position on having an international naval force so close to its territory remains unclear.France’s deputy UN ambassador Anne Gueguen stressed that “only the presence of the Lebanese state and its armed forces will ensure security … and create the conditions of lasting stability in the south of Lebanon, and along its territorial waters.”
France says Iran ‘can’t avoid’ talks on missile program, regional meddling-French FM calls on Tehran to respect nuke deal, says it must also be open to discussing its 'nuclear commitments' after accord expires-By AFP-TOI-SEP 2,18
VIENNA — Iran “cannot avoid” talks on thorny issues like its ballistic missile program and role in Middle East conflicts, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian warned Thursday, as European powers work to rescue the beleaguered nuclear deal with Tehran.France, Germany, and Britain are leading European efforts to save the landmark 2015 deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program, which was thrown into crisis in May when US President Donald Trump withdrew and reimposed sanctions.Critics of the accord — which was also signed by Russia and China — say it is too narrowly focused on the nuclear issue and does nothing to curb Iran’s meddling in regional conflicts or its program to develop conventional ballistic missiles.The European Union is trying to find ways to maintain oil and banking ties with Iran after the second phase of US sanctions kicks in in November, and Le Drian said it was important to find ways to keep the Islamic Republic trading.But he warned that Tehran must keep up its side of the deal, and be prepared to expand talks.“Iran must respect the fundamentals of the JCPOA [nuclear deal] and I think that is the case,” Le Drian said as he arrived for a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Vienna.“But Iran cannot avoid discussions, negotiations on three other major subjects that worry us — the future of Iran’s nuclear commitments after 2025, the ballistic question and the fact there is a sort of ballistic proliferation on the part of Iran… and the role Iran plays to stabilize the whole region.“We must talk about these three subjects, Iran must be aware of this and that’s the message I send to them from Vienna.”Despite European pledges to keep providing Iran with the economic benefits it received from the nuclear deal, many major companies have already pulled out of the country for fear of US penalties.
Strike disrupts consular services at Israeli missions abroad-Some 600 supporting workers, but no diplomats, protesting Finance Ministry's 'stalling' on agreement meant to improve employment conditions-By Raphael Ahren-TOI-SEP 2,18
The Foreign Ministry’s Workers Union called a surprise warning strike on Thursday, disrupting the provision of consular services in several Israeli missions throughout the world.“Supporting workers at Israel’s delegations in the world are striking today to protest employment conditions,” read a handwritten sign in Hebrew posted at the entrance to the Israeli Consulate-General in New York City. The workers are claiming that the Finance Ministry is “stalling” in its efforts to find a solution to problems with working conditions that have arisen due to a new agreement with the Foreign Ministry, the sign read further. The did not say how long the strike would last.Some 600 so-called “supporting workers” (not diplomats) are currently striking, making up some 60 percent of the manpower running the Foreign Ministry’s missions abroad, according to the Hadashot TV news.The Foreign Ministry did not respond to a request for comment.The striking employees could seriously disrupt the work of Israel’s diplomatic missions abroad, but major trips by senior officials — such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s planned visit to New York next month — are currently not in jeopardy, according to diplomatic sources.Complaining about low remuneration and poor working conditions, Israeli diplomats have striked several times over the last few years. On Thursday, they argued that a deal struck with the Finance Ministry earlier this year has not been upheld.“The last thing we wanted is to strike,” the union said in a statement.“Just two days ago a delegation from the union returned to Israel after another round of negotiations that was supposed to have ended the labor dispute. We boarded the plane with the understanding that a solution was found, but the ongoing wrangling between the Finance Ministry and the Foreign Ministry is again being played out at our expense — and this we won’t allow.”
Trump claims Russia probe is ‘illegal’-President tells Bloomberg 'there never should have been a special counsel,' as Robert Mueller closes in on inner circle-By AFP-TOI-SEP 2,18
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday said the Russia collusion investigation headed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller is “illegal” as the probe continues to hone in on his inner circle.Trump told Bloomberg News in an interview that Mueller’s appointment last year to investigate his 2016 election campaign for possible collusion with Russia was wrong.“I view it differently. I view it as an illegal investigation,” he told Bloomberg.He cited unnamed “great scholars” who say that “there never should have been a special counsel,” according to the news agency.Some legal experts have questioned the Justice Department’s naming of Mueller, a former FBI director, to handle the probe in the absence of a specific law governing special prosecutors.But Trump’s own Justice Department says it is legal.Earlier this month Andrew Miller, a one-time aide to former Trump political consultant Roger Stone, challenged the legality of Mueller’s appointment in appeals court.Miller is battling a subpoena to testify on Stone in front of a Mueller-commissioned grand jury.Miller’s case, supported by the conservative legal group the National Legal and Policy Center, argues that Mueller’s appointment on May 17, 2017 violated the constitution because it was done by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and not by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.In fact, Sessions, who served on Trump’s election campaign, had already recused himself from the Russia investigation, leaving Rosenstein empowered to act as the attorney general in the case.Meanwhile a legal challenge to Mueller’s broad mandate to chase down any lead, even if only obliquely related to Russia collusion, has also been rejected in court.
In Germany’s far-right hotbed, fewer migrants but more fears-Extremists in Saxony are accused of using slaying in Chemnitz to rile up region where anti-migrant sentiment has long outpaced the actual number of foreigners-By Frank Jordans-TOI-SEP 2,18
CHEMNITZ, Germany (AP) — Anger over the suspected killing of a man by two refugees has sparked days of protests in this eastern German city, raising fresh concerns about the anti-migrant sentiment that has shaken up the country’s political system and seen the rise of a far-right party for the first time in decades.On Thursday, as hundreds of people protested nearby, the region’s governor tried to reassure a tense town hall meeting that the fatal stabbing of the 35-year-old German citizen wouldn’t go unpunished.“The wheels of justice move slowly, but they are thorough,” Gov. Michael Kretschmer told an at-times hostile crowd at the Chemnitz soccer stadium.Anti-migrant groups seized on Sunday’s slaying of Daniel Hillig, a carpenter from Chemnitz, mobilizing thousands to a protest the following day. At least 18 people were injured when far-right extremists in the crowd clashed with counter-protesters Monday.Footage of snarling skinheads chanting “Foreigners! Germany for Germans!” and hurling bottles as police struggled to keep the peace evoked memories of far-right violence that occurred in Germany during the 1990s, and, for some, of its dark Nazi past.Green party lawmaker Claudia Roth told German news agency dpa that “organized far-right extremists” appeared to be using public anger over the killing for their own ends.Kretschmer, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s center-right party, warned that Saxony’s image could suffer if foreigners get the feeling they aren’t safe there anymore. He cited an encounter with a Chinese woman earlier Thursday who told him she had been made to feel unwelcome in Chemnitz this week for the first time since moving there several years ago.Saxony has long been a hotbed of anti-migrant sentiment. It is home to the group Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West, or PEGIDA, and a stronghold of the far-right Alternative for Germany party, which received almost a quarter of the vote in the state last year.While the share of foreigners in Saxony remains below the national average, concern among the population about migrants committing crimes is particularly high.Many of the protesters outside the stadium Thursday refused to talk to the media, but those who did said they felt abandoned by politicians and were angry at the crimes committed by migrants.“I’ve got three daughters,” said Steffen Rake, a 52-year-old Chemnitz resident. “They don’t go to town alone anymore and the police are present now, but only because the governor’s coming.”Alina Hergesell, a woman in her 20s from nearby Erfurt, said she had been harassed by migrants in the past.“They need to follow our rules, not other rules,” she said.Sebastian Gemkow, Saxony’s justice minister, said authorities had initially been overwhelmed with the caseload caused by the influx of more than a million refugees in 2015 and 2016.Illustrating the problem, daily newspaper Die Welt reported that a 22-year-old Iraqi suspected in Sunday’s killing had applied for asylum in Bulgaria before coming to Germany and should have been returned there — but Germany authorities had failed to meet a deadline for his deportation.Prosecutors said a 23-year-old Syrian has also been arrested. Both are being held on suspicion of manslaughter, though authorities said the charge may be upgraded to murder.Merkel, who has condemned both the killing and the violent protests that followed, was mid-way through a three-day trip to Africa on Thursday.Among the top issues on her agenda there was how to prevent further mass migration from the continent to Europe.Germany’s long-time chancellor has come under pressure, including from her own party, to prevent a repeat of the influx seen three years ago and at the same time ensure the proper integration of those already in the country.At the site of Sunday’s killing, a message placed among hundreds of flowers and candles read: “Take away their knives or we’ll take away your elected offices.”
Tombstones toppled at Jewish cemetery in New Jersey-4 graves knocked over but not significantly damaged, in apparent act of vandalism at graveyard in Freehold Township-By JTA-TOI-SEP 2,18
Four headstones were toppled at a Jewish cemetery in New Jersey over the weekend.The toppled headstones were discovered on Sunday at the Congregation Agudath Achim Cemetery in Freehold Township in New Jersey. The headstones were pushed over sometime on Saturday or early Sunday morning, according to local reports.No other acts of vandalism were discovered in the cemetery, the local Asbury Park Press reported. The headstones were not significantly damaged, according to the report.One of the headstones belonged to a World War II veteran, Michael Berman, executive director of the Freehold Jewish Center, which operates the cemetery, told local media.“In terms of it being the desecration of a holy space, it is,” Berman told the Asbury Park Press. “Being Jewish, we’re all connected to our history. Our history, unfortunately, has some difficult times in the past and memories that go back to World War II and much farther than that.”The local chapter of the Anti-Defamation League called on the public to contact authorities if they have any information about the apparent vandalism of the headstones.We are disturbed by apparent vandalism in a #NJ Jewish cemetery where four headstones were allegedly knocked over this past weekend. We have reached out to local law enforcement & encourage anyone with information to contact 732-462-7500 or 732-294-2110 https://t.co/hp1juRlcyG— ADL New York / New Jersey (@ADL_NYNJ) August 29, 2018-Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Satellite photos said to show new Iranian missile factory in Syria-Noting facility's apparent similarity to Iran's Parchin complex, report says site likely spared from Israeli strike due to nearby Russia anti-aircraft battery-By TOI staff-SEP 2,18
Satellite photos published Thursday purported to show the establishment of an Iranian surface-to-surface missile factory in Syria, raising fresh concerns over the extent of the two countries’ military cooperation on Israel’s northern border.The photos, which were taken by ImageSat International and published by Channel 10 news, were said to show a facility outside Wadi Jahannam in northwest Syria resembling Iran’s Parchin facility, which has been linked to the Islamic Republic’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs.Beyond noting an apparent surge in construction work at the site and the building’s seeming similarity to Parchin, Channel 10 did not say how it was identified as a missile factory.Unlike other Iranian facilities in Syria that have been targeted in Israeli airstrikes, the report said the site was likely spared due to its close proximity to a Russian S-400 ant-aircraft battery, which is considered to be one of the most advanced air defense systems in the world.In July, Israeli jets reportedly targeted a missile production facility in nearby Masyaf, where a leading Syrian chemical weapons and missile scientist was killed earlier this month in a car bombing attributed to Israel.According to a New York Times report, Israel believed that Dr. Aziz Asbar was leading a classified weapons development program called Sector 4 at the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center, and was busy rebuilding an underground weapons factory to replace the one said destroyed by Israel.Israel did not comment on its alleged involvement in the July airstrike on the facility, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement following the raid that Israel “will not stop taking action in Syria against Iran’s attempts to establish a military presence there.”Iran has been one of the top military backers of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime in the over sever-year-long civil war in the country, as has been its Lebanese proxy, the Hezbollah terror group.Both Israel and the United States have called for the removal of all Iranian-backed forces from Syria. Russia, which like Iran is fighting on behalf of Assad, has expressed support for this goal but said it can’t force Iranian forces out of the country.Iran for its part has vowed to remain in Syria, and earlier this week the two countries signed a defense agreement during a visit by Iranian Defense Minister Amir Hatami to Damascus.Hatami said the pact would include the rebuilding of Syria’s military and defense programs.Netanyahu this week reiterated that Israel will continue to take action against Iran’s military entrenchment in Syria, and issued an emphatic warning against those who call for Israel’s annihilation, such as the Islamic Republic.“Whoever threatens us with destruction puts himself in similar danger, and in any case will not achieve his goal,” Netanyahu said during a ceremony at the nuclear research facility in Dimona.
Soldiers nab 3 Palestinians with pipe bombs in northern West Bank-Incident comes after police arrest two suspects armed with pipe bombs at nearby military courthouse-By Judah Ari Gross-TOI-SEP 2,18
Israeli troops on Thursday arrested three Palestinians who were in possession of “a number” of pipe bombs in the northern West Bank, the army said.The suspects were spotted outside the village of Deir al-Hatab, near Nablus, by soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras, and the troops were dispatched to arrest them.The three suspects were handed over to the Shin Bet for questioning.The incident came hours after police arrested two other Palestinian teenagers who were found holding improvised explosive devices outside a nearby military courthouse.The entrance to the Samaria Military Court in the village of Salem was briefly blocked and the area cordoned off, while a police sapper inspected the devices, which were found in plastic bags.Police said in a statement that officers noticed the “suspicious behavior” of the teens — aged 14 and 18 — and stopped them, thus foiling a terror attack at the court.One of the objects was revealed to indeed be a pipe bomb, while the two others were improvised explosive devices made from metal containers, police said.All the bombs were loaded with explosives and detonators, and were subsequently destroyed in a controlled explosion.The entrance to the court was then reopened, and the suspects were taken for questioning.Pipe bombs are frequently used by Palestinian assailants in attempted attacks at the Samaria Military Court.In May, security forces arrested two Palestinians after they were caught with three pipe bombs at the entrance to the court. The youths were also said to be in possession of a gas canister.On March 11, security forces foiled an attempt to smuggle two pipe bombs into the court when two Palestinians, both 16-year-old residents of Jenin, were detained by Border Police guards at the security checkpoint at the entrance to the court.Times of Israel staff and Jacob Magid contributed to this report.

Hawaii residents hit by floods from Hurricane Lane as new storm forms-[Reuters]-By Dan Whitcomb-YAHOONEWS-August 30, 2018
(Reuters) - Flash flood warnings were issued on Tuesday for the Hawaiian island of Kauai, with residents on the north coast told to evacuate and others left stranded by high water as the remnants of Hurricane Lane drenched the archipelago and a new storm brewed in the Pacific Ocean.Hawaii was spared a direct hit from a major hurricane as Lane diminished to a tropical storm as it approached and then drifted west, further from land. But rain was still pounding the island chain, touching off flooding on Oahu and Kauai."It has been a steady rain since after Lane but I got up 2:30 a.m. (Hawaiian Standard Time) to the National Weather Service flash flood advisory and that's when we put out the release as well as an island-wide telephone call," County of Kauai spokesman Alden Alayvilla said.The advisory urged residents near Hanalei Bridge on the north side of the island to evacuate their homes due to rising stream levels. A convoy that had been used to escort residents over roads damaged by historic floods in April between was shut down, leaving many cut off."Heavy pounding and hazardous conditions are being reported island-wide. Motorists are advised to drive with extreme caution. Updates will be given as more information is made available," the Kauai Emergency Management Agency said.A flash flood watch also remained in effect for Oahu, home to the state capital Honolulu and 70 percent of Hawaii’s 1.4 million residents.Micco Godinez, who lives on the north side of Kauai, said he found the only road out of Hanalei, where he lives, barricaded by police vehicles when he tried to leave for work on Tuesday morning. He expected to be stranded for at least another day."I can't get out at all," Godinez said. "Our little community of Hanalei is isolated and then west of us is even more isolated," he said.Even as Hawaii residents sought to recover from Lane, they kept a watchful eye on Tropical Storm Miriam, spinning in the Pacific Ocean some 2,000 miles to the east and expected to become a hurricane by the time it approaches the islands."Miriam is supposed to go north and dissipate in the colder waters and drier air, so I'm not really worried about it," Godinez said. "But it is hurricane season, and there's another one behind that. You know what they say: Without rain you wouldn't have rainbows."(Reporting by Dan Whitcomb; Editing by Lisa Shumaker)
Puerto Ricans Are ‘Outraged But Not Surprised’ By New Hurricane Maria Death Toll-[HuffPost]-Sarah Ruiz-Grossman-YAHOONEWS-August 31, 2018
After the governor of Puerto Rico raised the island’s official Hurricane Maria death toll to nearly 3,000 people, Puerto Ricans felt a range of emotions ― anger, frustration, grief ― but few were surprised.“I’m outraged but not surprised,” said Mariana Teresa Hernandez, a Puerto Rican mother who sent her two kids, ages 6 and 7, to live with their father in Chicago after post-storm power outages forced their school to shut down. “I knew from the start that things were really bad.”On Tuesday, Gov. Ricardo Rosselló increased the official count of those killed by the hurricane and its aftermath from 64 to 2,975 people, following the release of a new report commissioned by the governor and published by researchers at George Washington University. The revised figure would make Maria the deadliest U.S. natural disaster in over 100 years.Rosselló’s government was repeatedly criticized for sticking to the death toll of 64, even as experts argued it was likely a vast under-estimation of the actual number of fatalities caused by the September 2017 storm and its damage, including widespread monthslong power outages.Outside reports have produced estimates of the death toll far above the former official count. A New York Times analysis in December concluded that the death toll was more than 1,000 people. A Harvard study in May estimated that over 4,600 people died in the storm’s aftermath. Weeks ago, the Puerto Rican government quietly conceded that the count was likely more than 1,400 people in a report to Congress requesting more recovery funds.For Puerto Ricans who survived the storm and have since heard harrowing stories about people who died in its aftermath, the higher official toll confirms what they already knew. I was not surprised that the number was that high,” said 56-year-old Wanda Acosta, who lives in Rincon, a town on the island’s west coast. Her close friend’s mother died in the hospital following the storm, after the electricity was cut off, she said. “It was tragic.”Acosta called the previous official death count ― which the government maintained for over 11 months after the storm ― an “insult to all the families that lost a loved one.”In the aftermath of the storm last year, amid an island-wide blackout, Puerto Rico’s health system was shattered, leaving vulnerable patients in need of care ― and functioning medical technology.Mariluz Núñez, a cancer patient profiled by HuffPost, had to flee the island on a humanitarian flight to Florida one month later. After her house lost power, she began overheating and losing weight. Her doctor’s machinery was running on a generator and unable to complete necessary tests. Her friend, also a cancer patient, died two weeks after the hurricane.Learning of the updated death toll this week, Núñez’s 21-year-old son Jeancarlo said he was “incensed.”“I feel incensed, but not only because of the new figures of how many people died, but rather for the lack of importance that has been given to the issue,” he said, noting that the government had not made updating the death toll a priority. “It’s a lack of respect for those who died and their families, as well as all Puerto Ricans.”White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement Tuesday that the Trump administration was “supportive” of Rosselló’s “efforts to ensure a full accountability and transparency of fatalities” from the storm.“I think we did a fantastic job in Puerto Rico,” President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday, adding that the federal government had “put a lot of money and a lot of effort into Puerto Rico.”“I only hope they don’t get hit again,” Trump said. “Puerto Rico had a lot of difficulties before it got hit.”The Trump administration has been criticized for its slow and uneven response to Maria compared to its handling of disasters on the mainland. A March report in Politico showed that the administration had sent far more support last year to Texas after Hurricane Harvey than it did to Puerto Rico after Maria, both in terms of the speed and size of the assistance.“It’s still an unfolding humanitarian crisis and this federal government has refused to address the situation accordingly,” said Samy Nemir Olivares, 27, who was born and raised in Puerto Rico and whose parents still live on the island. “It feels infuriating and frustrating to see no response when literally thousands of people, American citizens,” have died.This article originally appeared on HuffPost.

Amid aid cuts, Jordan to host fundraiser for Palestinian refugee agency-'We cannot wish 5.3 million Palestinian refugees away,' UNRWA head says while calling for $200 million to close budget gap-By AFP and TOI staff-SEP 2,18
Jordan will host a fundraiser at the United Nations headquarters in New York next month to keep the agency for Palestinian refugees afloat, the kingdom’s top diplomat said Thursday.Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said the meeting, set for September 27 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, “aims to provide financial and political support to UNRWA.”The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees has been struggling to balance its books since the United States announced in January it was cutting its annual funding by $300 million.The Jordanian foreign minister said the New York event aims to “close the gap and put in place a plan that will ensure UNRWA’s continued, ongoing funding for the coming years.”It will also “reaffirm that UNRWA is an organization created by the UN General Assembly, with a clear and particular role, and this role must continue,” Safadi added.Speaking alongside the Jordanian foreign minister, UNRWA Director Pierre Krahenbuhl said the agency needs $200 million to continue its work until the end of this year.“We’re talking about human beings. We cannot wish 5.3 million Palestinian refugees away… these are people who have rights and for many years now, for decades, have faced a plight and an injustice that is simply immense,” said Krahenbuhl.The agency supports some five million registered Palestinian refugees and their descendants, and provides schooling for 526,000 children in the Palestinian territories, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan.But UNRWA has warned it currently only has the funds to keep its 711 schools open for the next month.By the end of September, “UNRWA won’t have a penny,” the agency’s spokesman Chris Gunness warned Wednesday.The agency was created in 1949 to support 750,000 Palestinians who fled or were driven from their homes during the war surrounding the creation of Israel. Several tens of thousands of them still alive today, along with their millions of descendants, are classified as refugees.Israel accuses UNRWA of helping to perpetuate the Palestinian narrative of Israel’s illegitimacy by, uniquely, granting refugee status to the descendants of refugees, even when they are born in other countries and have citizenship there, conditions that do not apply to the refugees cared for by the UN’s main refugee agency, UNHCR, which cares for all other refugees worldwide. The population of Palestinian refugees thus grows each year.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged that funding for Palestinian refugees be maintained, but not through UNRWA. Rather, he has called for it to be transferred through the UN’s main refugee body, UNHCR.Israel has often criticized UNRWA, accusing it of sheltering terrorists and allowing Palestinians to remain refugees even after settling in a new city or country for many generations, thus complicating a possible resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.US President Donald Trump’s administration has contributed $60 million to the agency in 2018, compared to more than $360 million last year.Last week his administration announced further cuts to Palestinian aid, slashing $200 million in funding for programs in Gaza and the West Bank.Relations between Washington and the Palestinian Authority nosedived after Trump in December formally recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.The Palestinian leadership has suspended contact with the US administration and says Washington can no longer play a mediation role in the Israel-Palestinian peace process.
U.N. fears chemical weapons in Syria battle with '10,000 terrorists'-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-SEP 2,18
GENEVA (Reuters) - The United Nations called on Russia, Iran and Turkey on Thursday to forestall a battle in Syria's Idlib province which would affect millions of civilians and could see both militants and the government potentially using chlorine as a chemical weapon.U.N. Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura said there was a high concentration of foreign fighters in Idlib, including an estimated 10,000 fighters designated by the U.N. as terrorists, who he said belonged to the al-Nusra Front and al Qaeda.There could be no justification to use heavy weapons against them in densely populated areas, he said. Miscalculations could lead to unintended consequences, including the possible use of chemical weapons."Avoiding the potential use of chemical weapons is indeed crucial," de Mistura told reporters in Geneva."We all are aware that both the government and al-Nusra have the capability to produce weaponized chlorine."Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem, speaking during a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Moscow on Thursday, said: "We are at the final stage of solving the crisis in Syria and liberating our whole territory from terrorism.""I assure you that we do not have chemical weapons and are not able to use them," he added, according to Syrian state news agency SANA.Idlib province is the last major rebel-held area in Syria, serving as what the U.N. has called a "dumping ground" for fighters and civilians evacuated from other battles. It is one of the areas that Russia, Iran and Turkey agreed to "de-escalate" last year at a series of talks in the Kazakh capital Astana.But a source said on Wednesday that Russia's ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, was preparing a phased offensive there.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that militants in Idlib had to be liquidated, describing them as "a festering abscess"."Why such a hurry, and not provide more time in order to allow more discussions, especially among the Astana guarantors?," de Mistura said, referring to Russia, Iran and Turkey.The potential battlefield contains two crucial roads, transport arteries between major Syrian cities, which the Syrian government argues must be made safe. De Mistura asked if it was necessary to create a "worst-case scenario" just to secure Syrian government access to the roads.It would be better to set up humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians than rush into a battle which could prove to be a "perfect storm", he said."The lives of 2.9 million people are at stake, and international mutually threatening messages and warnings and counter-warnings are taking place in the last few days."(Reporting by Tom Miles and Stephanie Nebehay; Editing by Alexandra Hudson.
