On eve of Kerry meeting, PM reaches out to Hebron Jews

Netanyahu set to talk peace process and Iran in Rome on Wednesday, but message to settlers might complicate matters

On the eve of talks with US Secretary of State John Kerry, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a letter of support to the Jewish community in the contested West Bank city of Hebron — where several hundred settlers live in the city of 170,000 Palestinians.“Our deep connection to Hebron, in permanent and temporary settlement, in the journeys of pilgrims and the longing of worshippers, never stopped and never ceased,” Netanyahu wrote, according to Maariv.“The resumption of Jewish settlement in Hebron after the Six-Day War forged another link in the chain stretching across generations. The adherence of the sons in the ‘city of the fathers’ withstood the test of exile, and proof of this is the renewed and blossoming settlement in Hebron,” the prime minister continued.“Not for nothing the Israeli government included the Cave of the Patriarchs in its list of national heritage sites.”Netanyahu’s message came days before the Sabbath during which Jews traditionally read the “Chayei Sarah” Torah portion, which features the story of the Biblical Abraham’s purchase of Hebron’s Cave of the Patriarchs as a burial ground for his wife Sarah.On Wednesday, Netanyahu will meet with Kerry to discuss the nuclear talks with Iran and the ongoing peace talks with the Palestinians.On Tuesday evening, Netanyahu held talks with his Italian counterpart Enrico Letta in Rome.Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, arrived in Rome Tuesday, having left Israel after voting in the Jerusalem municipal elections in the morning, and were dining together in the Italian capital late Tuesday.

Speaking in Paris on Monday after a meeting with the Arab League, Kerry said talks between Israelis and Palestinians were intensifying and that all core issues were on the table.Kerry was briefing the 22-member organization on the progress of peace talks, which resumed in July.“The two parties have been engaged now in 13 meetings — serious meetings. They had three meetings in the last four days,” Kerry told reporters. “All the core issues are on the table. And they have been meeting with increased intensity.”He also used the opportunity of a joint press conference with the Qatari foreign minister to announce that Qatar was forgiving $150 million in Palestinian Authority debt.

Abbas says he’s ready to meet with Netanyahu

The Palestinian leader has been trying to rally European leaders to denounce Israeli settlement construction

By Stuart Winer October 23, 2013, 12:43 pm 0-The Times of Israel

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas declared he’s prepared to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for direct peace talks.“I’m always willing to meet with him,” Abbas said in an interview with the German newspaper Rheinische Post Tuesday. The Palestinian leader laid down no preconditions for talks but strongly condemned Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank, which he said was illegal and undermined the peace process.Abbas was in Germany as part of a visit to several European countries that began last week. The Palestinian leader has been appealing to the West to apply more pressure on Israel to halt settlement construction.Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel met with Abbas in Berlin last Friday and called on Israel to restrain its settlement activities, which she said were jeopardizing the newly renewed peace talks with the Palestinians.Although in the interview with the Rheinische Post Abbas admitted that there had been no significant progress in the talks, comments he made in a TV interview on Saturday indicated he had not given up hope.“The negotiations are difficult, but they haven’t reached a dead end,” he told Deutsche Welle. “They are still in the initial stage and we have enough time to further deal with the main issues that turn out to be difficult.”In late August Abbas similarly stated that he is willing to meet with Netanyahu.“There is nothing that prevents a meeting with Netanyahu when the time comes for that and there is a need to meet,” he said.Two months earlier, Netanyahu had declared his own readiness to talk with Abbas face to face, saying that “if [US] Secretary [of State John] Kerry… were to pitch a tent halfway between [Jerusalem] and Ramallah — that’s 15 minutes away driving time — I’m in it, I’m in the tent. And I’m committed to stay in the tent and negotiate for as long as it takes to work out a solution of peace and security between us and the Palestinians.”Abbas’s current European trip comes almost three months into renewed peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Kerry is the only party authorized to comment on the content of the negotiations, but insiders have been quoted repeatedly in Israeli and Palestinian media as saying that little headway is being made. Each side is blaming the other for the impasses.

On Tuesday night, the Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations said “tangible progress remains elusive” in the talks. Israel’s UN envoy, who spoke after his Palestinian counterpart, said “the real obstacle” to peace is the Palestinians’ insistence on the right of return for millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants to what is now Israel.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

10/22/2013 VATICAN INSIDER

“Benedict XVI was very surprised by Gotti Tedeschi’s ousting”

Benedict XVI with Gotti Tedeschi (LaPresse)

The Prefect of the Papal Household, Archbishop Georg Gänswein revealed this in an interview with Italian newspaper “Il Messaggero”

Andrea Tornielli vatican city Pope Benedict XVI was clearly in the dark about the clamorous ousting of the former president of the Vatican bank, Ettore Gotti Tedeschi. The circumstances surround his dismissal and the way this took place were a first in the history of the Holy See. Attempts were made to besmirch his personal and professional reputation, as mentioned in the list of reasons the Vatican bank’s (IOR) board gave for Gotti Tedeschi’s dismissal. The document was signed by Carl Anderson, chairman of the board of the Knights of Columbus.Georg Gänswein, Prefect of the Papal Household and Benedict XVI’s secretary, confirmed this in an interview with Italian newspaper Il Messaggero, published in today’s issue. “I remember that moment well. It was 24 May. It was the same day Benedict XVI’s former butler, Paolo Gabriele, was arrested. Contrary to what many people think, there is no link between the two events. It was just an unfortunate and diabolical coincidence.”Fr. Georg’s statement is important. The tough dismissal document sent to Gotti Tedeschi which was deliberately leaked to the press said one of the reasons why he was being let go was the fact that he could not explain how newspapers managed to get hold of some of the IOR’s confidential documents and internal correspondence and publish them. This implied that the president of the IOR’s involvement in the Vatileaks scandal. Inquiries carried out by the Vatican police, however, revealed that the photocopy archive found in Paolo Gabriele’s house also contained leaked confidential email correspondence regarding Vatican transparency laws. “Benedict XVI, who appointed Gotti as head of the IOR to carry on the [Vatican’s] transparency policy, was surprised, very surprised at the no confidence vote against the professor. The Pope held him in high esteem and was fond of him but he chose not to interfere at the time, out of respect for those who were responsible for dealing with such matters. After the no-confidence vote, even though he was not able to meet with Gotti, the Pope kept in touch with him in a discreet and appropriate way,” Ratzinger’s secretary said.It is likely Mgr. Georg acted as a go-between in these exchanges. A rumour went round after Benedict XVI’s resignation, about the ousted president undergoing some kind of “rehabilitation”, but this was never proven. Gotti Tedeschi has still not been heard by the commission Pope Francis tasked with gathering information on the Vatican’s finance.

Norway mulls taking bulk of Syria chemical arsenal

50 metric tons of mustard gas and some 300-500 metric tons of chemicals designated for weapons to be destroyed

By AP October 22, 2013, 11:33 pm 0-The Times of Israel

STAVANGER, Norway — Norway said it is considering a request to take the bulk of Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile for eventual destruction.Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Ragnhild Imerslund said the UN and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which are charged with destroying the deadly arsenal, would like the stockpile destroyed in one country outside Syria, and have asked Norway to do that.

Imerslund told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Norway would consider accepting Syria’s chemical precursors and mixed chemicals such as mustard gas, but not chemicals loaded onto weapons such as warheads, which would be very dangerous to handle.The ministry said that, according to the latest UN estimates, Syria has 50 metric tons of mustard gas and some 300-500 metric tons of chemicals needed to make deadly nerve agents.

Arab MK Praises Pro-‘Intifada’ Hamas Speech

MK Sarsour’s anti-Israel incitement continues with praise for Hamas speech calling for terror against Israel.

Hamas PM Ismail Haniye-Israel news photo: Flash 90

MK Ibrahim Sarsour (Ra’am Ta’al) has come out with yet another virulently anti-Israeli statement. This time, the MK has praised a speech by Hamas head in Gaza Ismail Haniyeh which included a call for “popular resistance” against Israel – a phrase which Hamas uses to refer to terrorism.In his October 19 speech, Haniyeh slammed the talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority as “harming the cause of resistance,” and called to prepare for “the big campaign in which all of Palestine will be liberated.”Hamas includes all of modern-day Israel in its definition of “Palestine.”Haniyeh also praised the kidnapping of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit as a “historic victory.”In a media statement Sarsour praised Haniyeh’s plan for reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas, and quoted a particular passage of the speech in which Haniyeh called for “agreement on the national plan” and “decision-making regarding Palestinian politics” – and then continued on to call for “a plan to fight the occupation, and resistance to its attacks on our people, our land and our holy places using every possible means.”Sarsour argued, “The solution to the Palestinian crisis lies with Ramallah’s responsiveness to Ismail Haniyeh’s call.”Haniyeh set down “logical basic principles,” he continued. “Allah [God], the Palestinian people, and history will not forgive the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah if it prefers to follow blindly after the false illusion provided by Israel and the United States instead of reaching an understanding with Hamas based on the principles Haniyeh stated.”Sarsour recently termed Jews “prophet murderers.” A short time later, he declared that the Biblical forefathers of the Jewish nation actually practiced Islam.Sarsour has previously met with jailed terrorists, including a Hamas leader responsible for the Park Hotel massacre, has praised Hezbollah for “defeating” Israel in 2006, and has called to establish an Islamic Caliphate centered in Jerusalem.

Ashton calls for military-grade drones in EU airspace

Today @ 18:03-OCT 22,13

By Nikolaj Nielsen

BRUSSELS - A security strategy paper by EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton says EU countries should use military-grade drones for border surveillance.The EU chief is set to debate security ideas with MEPs in the plenary chamber in Strasbourg on Wednesday (23 October).Her plan, which outlines priorities in the lead up to an EU summit on defence in December, notes that there is “an urgent need to prepare a programme for the next generation” of so-called Medium Altitude Long Endurance (Male) drones.
It adds that: "The objective is to promote a European approach for developing this key future capability." Germany, France, Italy and the UK already have the machines, but only use them in military-led operations.
But industry wants to make drones that can be used for both military and civilian operations, such as border control, but also for monitoring agriculture, civilian infrastructure and natural disasters.The idea is to allow authorities to easily switch MALE equipment according to mission type.Big EU defence companies are already lining up.In June, France's Dassualt, Franco-German firm EADS and Italy's Finmeccanica signed a joint declaration to launch their own European MALE programme.The companies want to make the drones more suitable for EU airspace by addressing outstanding issues which prevent them from flying alongside commercial airliners on a regular basis.

Crime fighting drones

EU-based industries are not alone.Global weapons manufacturer Israel Aerospace Industries has received EU funding to help an EU-led project to develop crime-stopping drones.The idea is to create drones that can stop moving cars and boats by “non-lethal” means.Called Aeroceptor, the three-year-long €4.8 million project, kicked off in January.Project co-ordinators are unable release any information on how the flying machines can stop a boat at sea without destroying it because they are still in the initial stages of the study.
“We are in the phase of selection of the actual systems (payloads) that may potentially be suitable for the intended use of the system, which is slowing down and stopping the non-cooperative vehicles,” an Aeroceptor contact told this website in an email.

Regulatory hurdles

MALE drones, which can fly at the same altitude as normal passenger airliners, face a number of technical, safety and regulatory hurdles.Eurocontrol, the Brussels-based European air traffic control body, say they can be flown over places like the Mediterranean Sea but only in pre-designated and segregated airspace.
Allocating airspace for the drone’s flight path is easier over the Mediterranean than over mainland Europe because there is less air traffic.“If you want to operate on the border of Africa and the southern part of Europe, I don’t think you will have a lot of people you are intervening or blocking there,” said Mike Lissone, who manages Eurocontrol’s integration division of unmanned aerial systems and air traffic management.
Integrating the drones into EU commercial airspace, however, is a major obstacle.The UN's International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), which sets global aviation rules, will not allow drones to fly at the same altitudes as manned aircraft without getting permission from national authorities.

New EU rules in the works

A EU source told this website the European Commission is currently working on EU legislation to get around ICAO restrictions.New EU rules are to be introduced on aircraft certification, on remote pilot licensing and on operator certification on safety. Other rules are set to cover issues like security, data protection and privacy.The source noted that the commission is set to adopt its drone policy “in the coming weeks.”
The policy paper will outline the regulatory work and research needed to get the machines flying over EU fields and cities without any problems.Integrating drones and overcoming other outstanding issues over EU airspace is likely to take years, however.A tentative 2028 deadline is foreseen to have everything complete for drones that weigh less than 150 kilos.Safety issues are a key issu.The military-grade drones lack reliable anti-collision systems, in a glitch which is technically difficult to overcome.Drones fly at different speeds and are much smaller, making them more difficult to detect and avoid by a pilot sitting in a normal airliner, such as a Boeing 737.“If you have something that flies at 100 knots between all the big ones, nobody will accept it,” said Eurocontrol's Lissone.Pilots operating the drones from ground stations are unable to feel turbulence or the roll and pitch of the aircraft.They also rely on a data link – or digital umbilical chord - between the aircraft and the ground station.Lissone estimates 20,000 drones weighing less than 150 kilos have already been sold in the EU.Around 10 member states have no laws on small drones flying below the 150 metre mark, escaping strict regulations in place elsewhere, he added.“This is going extremely fast and this is also the concern for the public,” he said of the smaller vehicles flying at low altitudes.

EU budget a step closer after €2.7bn deal

Today @ 09:53-OCT 22,13

By Benjamin Fox

BRUSSELS - Lawmakers have moved a step closer to a deal on future EU spending, despite growing ill will among institutions.The Lithuanian EU presidency, which is brokering the talks, said late on Monday (21 October) that EU countries agreed to give the European Commission an extra €2.7 billion for 2013.
The European Parliament responded by calling a snap meeting of its budgetary affairs committee on Tuesday, with a view to voting through the funds on Thursday.For his part, parliament chief Martin Schulz said he had been contacted by European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso, who warned him of the need for a quick decision.“By mid-November the commission will no longer be in a position to shoulder its financial obligations," Schulz told MEPs in his opening address to this week's session in Strasbourg.He added that he is “bound to take it [Barroso's warning] seriously."The commission says the budget shortfall is due to a 20 percent drop in its revenue from EU countries' customs duties.It has tabled nine separate "amending budgets" this year totalling over €15 billion.The €2.7 billion drama is part of wider talks on EU spending for 2013, 2014 and for the 2014-to-2020 budget.An official from the EU Council, which represents EU member states in Brussels, said Barroso's top-ups have created "a tense atmosphere" in the EU capital.MEPs were originally expected to vote on the 2014-to-2020 budget in Strasbourg this week.But the vote was postponed because MEPs first want member states to approve a separate top-up request for 2013, worth €3.9 billion."We don't want to go to war with the parliament," the Council source said.He noted that "time is really pressing" and that "we could be in a mess if we can't resolve this" quickly.But he added that crisis-hit countries' chancelleries are unlikely to approve extra funds for EU activity in the current economic climate.
"The figures for the MFF [multi-annual financial framework] will not change and everybody knows this," he said.

Gay couple uses tribal law to marry in Oklahoma

By Liz Goodwin, Yahoo News 2 hours ago-OCT 22,13-yahoonews

A same-sex couple successfully applied for a marriage license in Oklahoma despite the state’s strict rules against gay marriage. The pair used a legal loophole to get the license last Friday under tribal law, which doesn't fall under the state constitutional amendment that defines marriage as occurring only between a man and a woman. They plan to wed Oct. 31.Darren Black Bear, a member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, was able to get a marriage license to wed his partner of nine years, Jason Pickel, because the tribe’s legal system does not specify two people must be of different genders to be wed.Rosemary Stephens, the editor in chief of the tribes’ Tribal Tribune, told Yahoo News another gay couple in the tribe wed in December 2012 under the law, but did not make their union public. At least one person in the couple must be an enrolled member of the tribe in order to get a marriage license, however. Stephens said no one in the tribe has raised any objections to the practice of giving out marriage licenses to both straight and gay couples. “They’re held in high esteem,” Stephens said of Black Bear and Pickel.While Oklahoma won’t recognize the marriage, the federal government most likely will, thanks to last June's Supreme Court decision that struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act. The court said the federal government must recognize same-sex marriages, but said states are free to ignore and prohibit them if they want. There is still confusion about what the ruling means for the rights of same-sex married couples who live in states that don’t recognize them, which will most likely be worked out in future court battles.Pickel plans to take Black Bear’s last name, and the two hope to file their federal taxes jointly, Stephens said. The men are marrying in Watonga, Okla.“When we have equality in all 50 states and all U.S. territories, that is when we'll have true equality,” Pickel told a local TV station. “That's when I will be truly, truly happy.” Pickel didn't immediately return a request for comment from Yahoo News.The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes have nearly 12,500 members, about 60 percent of whom live in Oklahoma.
