Israel is preparing for one of the most emotionally charged weeks of
the year: the week in which the Memorial Day for the IDF's Fallen
Soldiers and Independence Day are marked, back-to-back.Memorial Day (Yom Hazikaron) will be marked from Sunday evening until Monday evening.Independence Day (Yom Haatzmaut) will begin Monday evening, and end Tuesday evening. This is in keeping with Jewish tradition, in which sunset – and not the hour of midnight – marks the beginning of the new day.Both holidays are relatively new ones; the 65 years in which Israel
has existed are a short time, from the perspective of Judaism's history,
which goes back almost 4,000 years. They are not religious holidays.The Jewish state was founded, in large part, by socialist, secular
Jews like David Ben Gurion, who had received a Torah education in their
childhood and youth but later broke off with tradition. For them, the
Jewish state itself was sacred, as was the military, and the holidays
they instituted reflect this approach.The religious-Zionist Mizrachi movement – currently represented in
the Knesset by Bayit Yehudi – sees the Jewish state as a step in the
direction of the redemption of the Jewish people, as predicted by the
Torah. The members of the movement therefore ascribe deep meaning to
Independence Day and Memorial Day, and Deputy Religions Minister Rabbi
Eliyahu Ben-Dahan's instruction to religious councils to fly the flag on
the upcoming holidays reflects this approach.Memorial Day for the IDF's Fallen Soldiers is gaining more profound
meaning for the religious Zionist sector from year to year, as an
increasingly large share of the IDF's combat ranks is filed by religious
Zionists.

The Palestinian Authority is fuming after Canada’s Foreign Minister,
John Baird, met Israel’s Justice Minister Tzipi Livni in her eastern
Jerusalem office this week.Such a move is normally avoided by visiting diplomats since world
countries do not recognize Israel’s sovereignty over eastern Jerusalem,
which it liberated during the 1967 Six Day War."The visit is a slap in the face to the Palestinian people," former
Palestinian Authority foreign minister Nabil Shaath wrote in a
commentary published by Canada's daily Globe and Mail on Friday.Shaath, a Fatah Central Committee member in charge of international
relations, called Baird's visit an "unprecedented recognition of the
illegal Israeli annexation of Palestinians' occupied capital," adding
that it undermines U.S. efforts to restart negotiations between Israel
and the PA.Shaath said the "unprecedented offense" would cause "severe" damage
to Canada's relations with the PA, the Arab world and those committed to
a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict.Canadian foreign ministry spokesman Rick Roth told AFP on
Thursday that Baird "wanted to get Livni's view on the Middle East peace
process, given her new responsibilities and important role in the new
cabinet."In addition to being appointed Justice Minister, Livni has been placed in charge of the peace negotiations with the PA."This doesn't change our longstanding position that all final status
issues must be negotiated between the two parties. As guests, we were
pleased to meet our hosts where it was most convenient for them," Roth
told AFP.Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told AFP that "It is not common that foreign officials meet Israeli officials in east Jerusalem.”"The Canadians have been making a name for themselves by speaking out
on the international scene in a way which is all too rare," Palmor
added, saying they were demonstrating an unusual "courage and moral
stance"."There should be nothing unusual about meeting Israel's justice
minister in east Jerusalem (where the ministry is based). What is
strange is that this is the exception," he said.Baird, meanwhile, was unfazed by the criticism, saying that where he
has coffee with someone is “irrelevant” to the larger discussion of
Middle East peace and does not signal a shift in Canadian foreign
policy.“I’m just not interested in getting into the semantic
argument about whether you have a meeting with one person on one side
of the street [and] it’s OK, and you have a meeting on the other side of
street and it’s not,” he said during a news conference in London, according to the Canadian Press.“We’re focused on trying to have an impact on the difficult and
serious challenges, that being security for Israelis, an end to the
conflict and the legitimate aspirations for a state from those in the
Palestinian side,” added Baird.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York. The time posted automatically on all Arutz Sheva articles, however, is Israeli time.)
As the North's main trading partner, financial backer and the closest thing it has to a diplomatic ally, China had a unique ability to use its leverage against the impoverished, isolated state, Kerry said in Seoul before leaving for Beijing.China, which sided with North Korea in the 1950-53 civil war against the U.S.-backed South, has always been reluctant to apply pressure on Pyongyang, fearing instability if the North were to implode and send floods of refugees into China.It has also looked askance at U.S. military drills in South Korea.China's Xinhua news agency said in a commentary that Washington had itself been "fanning the flames" on the Korean peninsula with its shows of force."It keeps sending more fighters, bombers and missile-defense ships to the waters of East Asia and carrying out massive military drills with Asian allies in a dramatic display of preemptive power," it said.Chinese state television quoted Premier Li Keqiang as telling Kerry that rising tensions on the Korean peninsula were in nobody's interests, in apparent reference to both Washington and Pyongyang to dial down the war of words."All sides must bear responsibility for maintaining regional peace and stability and be responsible for the consequences," the television report paraphrased Li as saying."Disturbances and provocation on the peninsula and regionally will harm the interests of all sides, which is like lifting a rock only to drop it on one's feet."Still, U.S. officials believe China's rhetoric on North Korea has begun to shift, pointing to a recent speech by China's Xi in which - without referring explicitly to Pyongyang - he said no country "should be allowed to throw a region and even the whole world into chaos for selfish gain".Kerry's Asia trip, which includes a stop in Tokyo on Sunday before flying home on Monday, takes place after weeks of shrill North Korean threats of war since the imposition of new U.N. sanctions in response to its third nuclear test in February.North Korean television made no mention of Kerry's visit and devoted most of its reports to preparations for celebrations on Monday marking the birth date of state founder Kim Il-Sung.But Rodong Sinmun, the ruling Workers' Party's newspaper, issued a fresh denunciation of joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises, saying: "If the enemies dare provoke (North Korea) while going reckless, it will immediately blow them up with an annihilating strike with the use of powerful nuclear means."South Korea's Yonhap news agency, quoting a government source, said North Korea had not moved any of its mobile missile launchers for the past two days after media reports that as many as five missiles had been moved into place on the country's east coast. It said this suggested no launches were imminent.(Additional reporting by Terril Yue Jones in BEIJING and Ronald Popeski in SEOUL; Editing by Nick Macfie and Vicki Allen)

In a highly significant and ground-breaking move, indicating a new, more collegial style of leadership, Pope Francis has chosen a group of eight cardinals, from all continents and the Roman Curia, to act as his special advisors in governing the Catholic Church and reforming the Roman Curia. The Secretariat of State broke the news in a press statement on April 13, exactly one month after his election. It said “The Holy Father, Francis, taking up a suggestion that emerged in the course of the General Congregations preceding the Conclave, has set up a group of Cardinals to advise him in the government of the universal Church and to study a project of revision of the Apostolic Constitution “Pastor Bonus” on the Roman Curia”.The Apostolic Constitution “Pastor Bonus” referred to in the Vatican statement was issued by Pope John Paul II in 1988 and introduced reforms in the Roman Curia, the civil service that assists the Pope in the government of the Church.
The Vatican revealed the names of the eight cardinals chosen by Pope Francis:
The creation of the work group suggests the reform of the Curia will begin as soon as possible as cardinals clearly saw it as a priority in the discussions held before the conclave.

U.S. says agrees with China on peaceful North Korea solution
By Arshad Mohammed and Ben Blanchard | Reuters – 1 hr 19 mins ago APR 13,13
By Arshad Mohammed and Ben Blanchard
BEIJING (Reuters) - The United States said on Saturday that China had agreed to help rid North Korea of its nuclear capability by peaceful means, but Beijing made no specific commitment in public to pressure its long-time ally to change its ways.U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry
met China's top leaders in a bid to persuade them to push reclusive
North Korea, whose main diplomatic supporter is Beijing, to scale back
its belligerence and, eventually, return to nuclear talks.Visiting Beijing
for the first time as secretary of state, Kerry has made no secret of
his desire to see China take a more active stance towards North Korea,
which in recent weeks has threatened nuclear war against the United
States and South Korea.Kerry and China's top diplomat, State Councillor Yang
Jiechi, said both countries supported the goal of denuclearizing the
Korean peninsula."We are able, the United States and China, to
underscore our joint commitment to the denuclearization of the Korean
peninsula in a peaceful manner," Kerry told reporters, sitting next to
Yang at a state guesthouse in western Beijing.But North Korea has repeatedly said it will not abandon
nuclear weapons which it described on Friday as its "treasured"
guarantor of security.Yang said China's stance on maintaining peace and
stability on the peninsula was clear and consistent, repeating phrasing
used by the Foreign Ministry since the crisis began."We maintain that the issue should be handled and
resolved peacefully through dialogue and consultation. To properly
address the Korea nuclear issue serves the common interests of all
parties. It is also the shared responsibility of all parties," he said,
speaking through an interpreter.
"China will work with other relevant parties, including
the United States, to play a constructive role in promoting the
six-party talks and balanced implementation of the goals set out in the
September 19 joint statement of 2005."The United States and its allies believe the North
violated the 2005 aid-for-denuclearization deal by conducting a nuclear
test in 2006 and pursuing a uranium enrichment program that would give
it a second path to a nuclear weapon in addition to its plutonium-based
program.Six-party aid-for-disarmament talks, involving the two
Koreas, the United States, Japan, Russia and host China, collapsed in
2008 when the North walked away from the deal.Kerry declined to comment on what specifically China
may do to push for a peaceful solution on North Korea, saying only that
they had discussed all possibilities.At a news conference in Seoul on Friday and in a
U.S.-South Korean joint statement issued on Saturday, Kerry signaled the
U.S. preference for diplomacy, but stressed North Korea must take
"meaningful" steps on denuclearization."We don't want to get into a threat for threat or ...
some kind of confrontational language here. There's been enough of
that," Kerry said in Beijing.If North Korea got rid of its nuclear capabilities,
then the United States would have no reason to maintain recently
deployed defensive capabilities - such as a missile defense system sent
to Guam - he said."Now, obviously, if the threat disappears, i.e. North
Korea denuclearizes, the same imperative does not exist at that point in
time for us to have to have that kind of robust, forward leaning
posture of defense."The Pentagon has in recent weeks responded to the North Korean
threats by announcing plans to position two Aegis guided-missile
destroyers in the western Pacific and a Terminal High Altitude Area
Defense (THAAD) missile defense system to Guam.
'CONSTRUCTIVE' TALKSAs the North's main trading partner, financial backer and the closest thing it has to a diplomatic ally, China had a unique ability to use its leverage against the impoverished, isolated state, Kerry said in Seoul before leaving for Beijing.China, which sided with North Korea in the 1950-53 civil war against the U.S.-backed South, has always been reluctant to apply pressure on Pyongyang, fearing instability if the North were to implode and send floods of refugees into China.It has also looked askance at U.S. military drills in South Korea.China's Xinhua news agency said in a commentary that Washington had itself been "fanning the flames" on the Korean peninsula with its shows of force."It keeps sending more fighters, bombers and missile-defense ships to the waters of East Asia and carrying out massive military drills with Asian allies in a dramatic display of preemptive power," it said.Chinese state television quoted Premier Li Keqiang as telling Kerry that rising tensions on the Korean peninsula were in nobody's interests, in apparent reference to both Washington and Pyongyang to dial down the war of words."All sides must bear responsibility for maintaining regional peace and stability and be responsible for the consequences," the television report paraphrased Li as saying."Disturbances and provocation on the peninsula and regionally will harm the interests of all sides, which is like lifting a rock only to drop it on one's feet."Still, U.S. officials believe China's rhetoric on North Korea has begun to shift, pointing to a recent speech by China's Xi in which - without referring explicitly to Pyongyang - he said no country "should be allowed to throw a region and even the whole world into chaos for selfish gain".Kerry's Asia trip, which includes a stop in Tokyo on Sunday before flying home on Monday, takes place after weeks of shrill North Korean threats of war since the imposition of new U.N. sanctions in response to its third nuclear test in February.North Korean television made no mention of Kerry's visit and devoted most of its reports to preparations for celebrations on Monday marking the birth date of state founder Kim Il-Sung.But Rodong Sinmun, the ruling Workers' Party's newspaper, issued a fresh denunciation of joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises, saying: "If the enemies dare provoke (North Korea) while going reckless, it will immediately blow them up with an annihilating strike with the use of powerful nuclear means."South Korea's Yonhap news agency, quoting a government source, said North Korea had not moved any of its mobile missile launchers for the past two days after media reports that as many as five missiles had been moved into place on the country's east coast.

Francis: A step towards collegiality
Pope Bergoglio during his first mass with cardinals
Pope Francis' reasons for deciding to appoint eight cardinal advisers
ANDREA TORNIELLI vatican city The decision, announced by Francis today, to set up a sort of “privy council” composed of eight cardinals from all five continents, represents the first concrete step in response to the pre-Conclave congregation discussions. The announcement comes on the day that marks a month since Francis was elected to the papacy. The eight cardinals have been given an open-ended mandate and their tasks will include making proposals for the long-awaited Curia reform and helping the Pope govern the universal Church.Theirs will not be a “commission”, just a work group with consultational powers. But it's an important sign as it shows that an attempt is being made to involve the group of cardinals, who – with the exception of the President of the Governorate, Giuseppe Bertello – are or were residential archbishops and held important roles in their respective bishops' conferences. Bertello was one of Bergoglio's big electors, he has extensive diplomatic experience, he was among the first to be received by the new Pope and he is one of the men tipped to gain leadership of the Secretariat of State. The other seven are the Archbishop Emeritus of Santiago de Chile, Francisco Javier Errázuriz Ossa; teh Archbishop of Bombay, Oswald Gracias; the Archbishop of Munich, Reinhard Marx; the Archbishop of Kinshasa, Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya; the Archbishop of Boston, Sean Patrick O'Malley; and the Archbishop of Sydney, George Pell. Finally, the second Latin American and workgroup coordinator, is the Archbishop of Tegucigalpa, Oscar Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga. The bishop of Albano, Marcello Semeraro, will be the group's secretary.The work group will collaborate with Francis, “advise him on matetrs to do with the government of the universal church” and “prepare a project for the revision” of the apostolic constitution “Pastor Bonus”, which regulates the Curia's activities. Bergoglio's critics have already pointed out the peculiarity of this move given that a body to assist the Pope govern the Church already exists, in the form of the cardinals' consistory.It has become clear throughout the years that the consistory – the gathering of all cardinals – is not particularly active because of the number of its members. The Church could have put together a work group made up of Curia cardinals. The Pope, who appears intent on developing a stronger direct relationship with the heads of the Curia dicasteries, has chosen seven prelates out of eight who do not serve Rome, for this “privy council”. The work group is a way to involve local Churches more directly and at the same time have a flexible consultational tool that can meet a number of times a year or be consulted easily on urgent questions if the Pope deems it necessary. Church historian Alberto Melloni had mentioned this proposal a number of times.The creation of the work group suggests the reform of the Curia will begin as soon as possible as cardinals clearly saw it as a priority in the discussions held before the conclave.
