Abbas calls for ‘just solution’ for Palestinian refugees
After meeting with Peruvian leader, PA president says settlements have ‘destructive consequences’
February 18, 2014, 11:27 pm
2-The Times of Israel
RAMALLAH — Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas said Tuesday that all issues in the US-led
peace negotiations with Israel, notably the refugee question, must be
solved in line with international law.
Speaking
on the eve of a meeting in Paris with US Secretary of State John Kerry,
who is shepherding the talks, Abbas said any peace deal would have to
comply with international resolutions.“We have shown the Peruvian president the
destructive consequences of the settlement enterprise and the need for a
just solution of the refugee question in line with UN resolution 194,”
Abbas told reporters at a press conference with his Peruvian
counterpart, Ollanta Humala.Palestinians insist that the question of those
who fled or were forced out of their homes when Israel was created in
1948 be resolved on the basis of UN General Assembly Resolution 194,
which defines principles for their “right of return.”“We also affirm the need to resolve all
questions in line with international resolutions and law and to pursue
all efforts to find a peaceful political solution to this conflict which
has gone on for 65 years,” he said.Humala said it was a “great honor for a
Peruvian president to be making a first official visit” since Lima
recognized an independent Palestinian state in January 2011, nearly two
years before the Palestinians won upgraded status as a UN nonmember
observer state.The refugees question is one of several key
issues that have come up during negotiations to end the conflict, which
are due to end in April, although Kerry is working on a framework that
would allow the talks to be extended until the end of the year.Speaking to 250 Israeli students in Ramallah
on Sunday, Abbas insisted he did not want “to flood Israel” with
returning refugees, and Palestinian negotiators have said the right of
return would “not create an existential crisis for Israel.”But Israel fears such an acknowledgement would
open the floodgates to millions of refugees, which would pose a
demographic threat to the “Jewish and democratic character” of the
state.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected
to meet US President Barack Obama at the White House on March 3 at a key
meeting expected to focus on the peace talks and the question of a
nuclear Iran.
Peres: Obama accepted all our requests on defending land
In meeting with Congressional Black Caucus, president praises US peace efforts
February 18, 2014, 9:59 pm
0-The Times of Israel
President Shimon Peres at a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus in Jerusalem praised the US peace-brokering efforts.Peres
also expressed his appreciation for Israel’s special relationship with
the United States at Tuesday’s diplomatic work meeting.“We’re fortunate to have our special relations
with America, we’re alone, isolated and often attacked, and you support
us not because of oil but because of values,” Peres said. “When it
comes to defending our land, there was no request which President
[Barack] Obama did not accept.”US Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) is leading the Congressional Black Caucus delegation visiting Israel.Peres answered questions from the delegation
on the current US-brokered Israeli-Palestinian peace process led by
Secretary of State John Kerry and the nuclear threat from Iran.“President Obama and Secretary Kerry are
trying to bring peace to this region. Secretary Kerry’s contribution has
been incredible,” he said. “This is a small country with a long history
and while it is not simple, it can be done.”Kerry has come under fire recently from some Israeli government officials for statements he made.On Iran, Peres said, “Iran is not only building a nuclear weapon but is also funding and spreading terrorism across the world.”
Israel’s UN envoy to chair Human Rights Council elections
Ron Prosor unanimously elected after Israeli delegation rejoins monitoring body
February 18, 2014, 11:00 pm
2-The Times of Israel
Israel’s ambassador to the
United Nations was unanimously nominated Tuesday by 170 countries to
chair the elections for the UN Human Rights Committee.Ron Prosor’s nomination came days after Israel was admitted
into the UN’s core coordinating group on human rights, and after it
rejoined the Human Rights Council in late November. Israel left the
council more than a year and a half ago to protest its alleged
anti-Israel bias.The HRC is the UN body tasked with monitoring human rights around the globe.Representatives from Israel’s UN mission said
that the nomination showed the respect Prosor commands among his
colleagues in Turtle Bay.“It is a great honor to chair the elections
for the Human Rights Committee,” said Prosor, according to a statement
released Tuesday by the Foreign Ministry. “The central role Israel plays
to advance human rights around the world is the real answer to anyone
calling for boycotts against Israel.”HRC elections take place every two years.Prosor previously served as Israel’s
ambassador to the UK and director-general of the Foreign Ministry. He
became Israel’s UN envoy in June 2011, and was elected as a vice
president of the UN General Assembly a year later.
Netanyahu: Iran remains ‘brutal’ and ‘aggressive’
PM says field hospital treating Syrians shows ‘true face of Israel’ while casualties are proof of ‘true face’ of Tehran
February 18, 2014, 6:36 pm
5-The Times of Israel
As nuclear talks resumed between
Iran and the world powers known as the P5+1, Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu said that the Islamic Republic remains aggressive and brutal,
and is complicit in the Syrian regime’s murder of its citizens.“I
would like to tell the world, today,” Netanyahu said Tuesday morning
during a tour of the Golan Heights, “as the talks between the major
powers and Iran are being resumed, that Iran has changed neither its
aggressive policy nor its brutal character. Iran is continuing to
support the Assad regime which is slaughtering its own people. This is
the true face of Iran. The world cannot forget this.”
Netanyahu made his comments at an IDF base
where injured Syrians are receiving medical care. Defense Minister Moshe
Ya’alon and IDF Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Benny Gantz were on hand as
well.“On the day when talks between the major
powers and Iran are being opened in Vienna, it is important that the
world sees the pictures from this place, which divides the good that is
in the world from the bad,” Netanyahu was quoted in a press release as
saying. “The good part is that Israel is saving the lives of those who
have been wounded in the daily slaughter that is being perpetrated in
Syria. This is the true face of Israel.“The bad part is that Iran is arming those who
are carrying out the slaughter,” he continued. “This is the true face
of Iran. All of the children who have been injured, to say nothing of
those who have been killed, were injured as a result of Iran’s arming,
financing and training the Assad regime in the massacres that it is
perpetrating.”In Early February, Channel 2 News aired
footage of a secret Israeli field hospital in the Golan Heights that has
treated over 700 Syrians since the war began.
The army
hospital, staffed by soldiers in uniform, includes an emergency room, an
intensive care unit, an operating room, a mobile laboratory, a pharmacy
and an x-ray facility. It treats Syrian patients who cross the border
regardless of creed, ethnicity – or with which faction their loyalties
lie.The once-sporadic treatment of Syrian
nationals in Israel has, by now, become routine, the report made clear:
The wounded cross the border and IDF medical teams deployed in the Golan
Heights give them preliminary treatment. Those who are well enough are
sent back across the border, and those who require further treatment are
evacuated to the military hospital, a field commander at the facility
told Channel 2. In this way, the hospital treats about a hundred Syrians
per month.
13 killed in Ukraine riots
Government forces move on protest camp after 6 policemen and 7 demonstrators die in unrest
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Defiant
protesters shouted “Glory to Ukraine” as burning tents lit up the night
sky after thousands of riot police moved against the sprawling protest
camp in the center of Kiev on Tuesday.
The
police, armed with stun grenades and water cannons, attacked the camp
after at least 13 people — including six officers — died and hundreds
were injured in street clashes. The violence was the deadliest in nearly
three months of anti-government protests that have paralyzed Ukraine’s
capital in a struggle over the nation’s identity.Opposition leader Vitali Klitschko urged the 20,000 protesters to defend the camp on Independence Square.“We will not go anywhere from here,” Klitschko
told the crowd, speaking from a stage in the square as fires burned
around him, releasing huge plumes of smoke into the night sky. “This is
an island of freedom and we will defend it,” he said.Many heeded his call.“This looks like a war against one’s own
people,” said Dmytro Shulko, 35, who was heading toward the camp armed
with a fire bomb. “But we will defend ourselves.”As police dismantled some of the barricades on
the perimeter of the square and tried to push away the protesters, they
fought back with rocks, bats and fire bombs. Many of the protesters
were bleeding.Speaking over loudspeakers, police urged women
and children to leave the square because an “anti-terrorist” operation
was underway.The protesters appeared to sense that
Ukraine’s political standoff was reaching a critical turning point. As
the tents and also some tires went up in flames, defiant protesters
shouted “Glory to Ukraine!” and sang the Ukrainian national anthem.Shortly before midnight, Klitschko headed to
President Viktor Yanukovych’s office to try to resolve the crisis, his
spokeswoman said.
Earlier in the day, protesters attacked police
lines and set fires outside parliament, accusing Yanukovych of once
again ignoring their demands and dragging his feet on a constitutional
reform to limit presidential powers.Tensions had soared after Russia said Monday
that it was ready to resume providing the loans that Yanukovych’s
government needs to keep Ukraine’s ailing economy afloat. This raised
fears among the opposition that Yanukovych had made a deal with Moscow
to stand firm against the protesters and would choose a Russian-leaning
loyalist to be his new prime minister.The protests began in late November after
Yanukovych turned away from a long-anticipated deal with the European
Union in exchange for a $15 billion bailout from Russia. The political
maneuvering continued, however, with both Moscow and the West eager to
gain influence over this former Soviet republic.Until Monday, the government and the
opposition had appeared to be making some progress toward resolving the
political crisis peacefully. In exchange for the release of scores of
jailed activists, protesters on Sunday vacated a government building
that they had occupied since Dec. 1.Russia also may have wanted to see Kiev remain
calm through the Winter Olympics in Sochi, so as not to distract from
President Vladimir Putin’s games. But after the outburst of violence
against riot police, Yanukovych’s government may have felt it had no
choice but to try to restore order.While Kiev and western Ukraine have risen up
against Yanukovych, he remains popular in the Russian-speaking eastern
and southern regions, where economic and cultural ties with Russia are
strong.As darkness fell, law enforcement agencies
vowed to bring order to the streets and they shut down subway stations
in the center of the capital. In Independence Square, Orthodox priests
prayed for peace.“We see that this regime again has begun
shooting people; they want to sink Ukraine in blood. We will not give in
to a single provocation,” opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk told the
protesters. “We will not take one step back from this square. We have
nowhere to retreat to. Ukraine is behind us, Ukraine’s future is behind
us.”Tuesday’s clashes were the first to lead to
deaths since Jan. 22, when two protesters were hit with live ammunition
and a third fell.
Angry protesters had hurled stones at police
and set trucks blocking their way on fire. Riot police retaliated with
stun grenades and fired what appeared to be small metal balls, as smoke
from burning tires and vehicles billowed over Kiev.Olha Bilyk, spokeswoman for the Kiev city
police, told The Associated Press that six policemen died from gunshot
wounds and 159 were wounded, including 39 who were shot. She also said
seven civilians died, including three who were shot.The coordinator for the opposition’s medical
response team, Oleh Musiy, said more than 400 protesters were injured.
He also claimed that about 20 had died, but this could not independently
be confirmed.One of the civilians was found dead after
protesters stormed the office of the president’s Party of Regions.
Police pushed them away, but when firefighters arrived to put out a
fire, they discovered the body of an office employee, Kiev’s emergency
services said.Justice Minister Olena Lukash, a close
Yanukovych aide, accused the opposition of violating earlier agreements
with the government and blamed protest leaders for the violence.U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged both sides to end the violence, halt their ultimatums and hold high-level talks.U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey R. Payatt also
threatened both sides with sanctions. “We believe Ukraine’s crisis can
still be solved via dialogue, but those on both sides who fuel violence
will open themselves to sanctions,” Payatt said on Twitter.Germany has refused to back Washington’s calls
for sanctions against Ukraine’s government to pressure it into
accepting opposition demands for reforms.But when central Kiev exploded in violence
Tuesday, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Ukrainian
security forces have a “particular responsibility” to de-escalate the
situation, adding that the EU might resort to unspecified sanctions
against individuals. “Whoever is responsible for decisions that lead to
bloodshed in the center of Kiev or elsewhere in Ukraine will need to
consider that Europe’s previous reluctance for personal sanctions must
be rethought,” he said.
The Russian Foreign Ministry blamed the West
for the escalation of the violence and called on the opposition to work
with the government to find a way out of the crisis.“What is happening is a direct result of the
conniving politics of Western politicians and European bodies,” the
ministry said in a statement.
