Peres: Peace Talks Are Paused - Not Finished-Despite the failure of peace talks, President Peres remains ever optimistic that they will resume.-By Elad Benari-First Publish: 5/14/2014, 5:42 AM-IsraelNationalNews

Despite the recent failure of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA), President Shimon Peres said Tuesday that he hoped for a return to talks."The negotiations with the Palestinians, led by Secretary (of State John) Kerry, are currently paused but they are not finished," he told a press conference in Oslo, according to AFP."Neither side has a better alternative than peace based upon two states for two peoples. I hope that the negotiations will be re-started," he said.Kerry re-launched the peace negotiations in July 2013, and they came to an inconclusive end on April 29.Israel had pulled out of the talks in response to a Hamas-Fatah unity agreement, which would see the Hamas terrorist group forming a unity government with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s movement.Peres, who engineered the Oslo Accords in the 1990s, has always remained optimistic that a peace agreement could be reached. In fact, he made similar comments to reporters on Monday, saying, "You need two to tango, but you also need appropriate music for it.""You do not start negotiations with friends, but rather to administer moves to make friends out of your enemies," said Peres.Last week Peres told Channel 2 News that three years ago he had reached an agreement with Abbas, with whom he had been talking at the request of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Peres also said that Netanyahu ultimately backed down from the deal.Officials in the Prime Minister’s Office later denied that what Peres said was true, saying that "Abbas never agreed to anything. Back then as well he just wanted to receive without giving anything in return.”

Israel's Vatican Envoy Denies Deal Over King David's Tomb-Israeli ambassador to the Vatican the latest to join in the chorus of government voices denying a deal.-Share on facebook Share on twitter -By AFP and Arutz Sheva Staff-First Publish: 5/14/2014, 7:20 PM-IsraelNationalNews

Israel said it had "no intention" of giving the Vatican sovereignty over King David's Tomb in Jerusalem, AFP reports Wednesday, after hundreds of hareidi Jews protested at the site ahead of Pope Francis's visit later this month."Contrary to rumors in Israel, there is no intention to transfer to the Vatican sovereignty or ownership on the Tomb of David or the Cenacle," Israel's ambassador to the Vatican, Zion Evrony, said in a speech obtained on Wednesday.The Cenacle is the reputed scene of Jesus's last supper, which is built in the same building as King David's Tomb. The pope is planning to hold a mass on the site on Mount Zion near the walls of the Old City.The site is currently part of long-running negotiations over Holy Land property between Israel and the Vatican, which has hoped to be given the right to use the site.Israeli officials have continuously denied an upcoming deal, however. Last month, an Israeli diplomatic source told Arutz Sheva that the Israeli government has no intention of transferring control over the site to the Church; those claims were reiterated Sunday, by the office of the Sephardi Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef. Site transfer or no site transfer? However, Rabbi Yaakov Sevilia, an activist for King David's Tomb, told Arutz Sheva that there is a deal in the works - which would see David's Tomb given to Christians, and the Temple Mount to Muslims. He cited journalist Gulio Meotti, who contributes regularly to Arutz Sheva, as the source for this knowledge.MK Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) has also written a stern letter to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu over the issue, noting its political significance in terms of Israel's history and heritage. "It is inconceivable that this place will be transferred to foreign hands, so that the Torahs and the Star of David will be swallowed in a sea of crosses," the Deputy Minister wrote. ''Transferring the rights to the gravesite of David to Christian hands would be similar to Moshe Dayan's decision to entrust the keys to the Temple Mount to the Jordanian Waqf."Rabbi Simcha HaCohen Kook, Rabbi of Rehovot and member of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, warned recently that the government relinquishing David's Tomb to the Vatican would be a "national disgrace." He added that the issue has incredible religious implications. "Who knows if this could cause a wave of conversions [to Catholicism]?" he continued. "What will happen in the World to Come when we have to testify [before G-d] and say that we lived in a generation which handed over King David's Tomb? A government who does such a thing is forbidden to belong to the people of Israel, this is an anti-Israeli government."

Israel denies sovereignty deal with Vatican on holy site-Zion Evrony, ambassador to the Vatican, says Israel has ‘no intention’ of ceding Jerusalem’s Tomb of David or the Cenacle-By AFP and Times of Israel staff May 14, 2014, 8:07 pm-The Times of Israel

Israel said it had “no intention” of giving the Vatican sovereignty over a sensitive holy site in Jerusalem, in the wake of protests by ultra-Orthodox Jews ahead of Pope Francis’s visit this month.“Contrary to rumors in Israel, there is no intention to transfer to the Vatican sovereignty or ownership on the Tomb of David or the Cenacle,” Israel’s ambassador to the Vatican, Zion Evrony, said in a speech obtained on Wednesday.On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman also dispelled rumors of a deal during the pope’s upcoming visit.“The State of Israel has no intention of signing with the Vatican, during the pope’s coming visit, on an agreement to transfer the responsibility of sites like these or others, or other gestures,” Liberman said.The Cenacle is the reputed scene of Jesus’s last supper, and the pope is planning to hold a mass on the site on Mount Zion near the walls of the Old City.Jews revere the site as the tomb of Kind David, which is on the ground floor of the same building. It is also important for Muslims.The site is currently part of long-running negotiations over Holy Land property between Israel and the Vatican, which hopes to be given the right to use the site.Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox Jews on Monday held a protest near the site, demanding that Israel retain sovereignty. They are also planning another demonstration on May 22 — just three days before Pope Francis arrives.Francis is traveling to Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian territories between May 24 and 26.President Shimon Peres told an Italian newspaper during a visit to the Vatican last year that a compromise had been reached on the Cenacle, and that “99 percent” of the issues concerning the site had been addressed.

6  Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury,(OF MY ANGER) because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)

US military drones being used over Nigeria
By LOLITA C. BALDOR - MAY 14,14-YahooNews


WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon says the U.S. is using surveillance drones to aid in the search for the kidnapped Nigerian girls, and almost 300 Marines have been moved to a naval air station in Sicily in response to the growing unrest in Africa.A senior U.S. official says at least one Global Hawk surveillance drone is in use, in addition to manned MC-12 aircraft.The official was not authorized to talk publicly about the types of drones and discussed the matter on condition of anonymity.Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren says the Marines were moved from a special task force in Spain to Sicily at the State Department's request.They're mainly there to respond to the deteriorating security in Africa.

Israel kept Russian missile ship from docking in Haifa-Concerns raised over tarnishing neutrality in Ukraine crisis and possibile attempts at espionage-By Stuart Winer May 14, 2014, 2:45 pm 9-The Times of Israel
Israel refused to let a Russian missile ship dock in Haifa’s naval base because of fears it would appear to be siding with Moscow over the Ukraine crisis — and because of the possibility that the Russian visitors would attempt some espionage on the side.The mid-April incident was handled by National Security Adviser Yossi Cohen in consultation with the IDF, the Shin Bet internal security service, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon and the Foreign Ministry, the Haaretz daily reported on Wednesday.An unnamed government source said that authorities were unanimous in turning down a request from Moscow to allow the ship to anchor in the Israeli port. Officials feared that the sight of a Russian naval vessel docked in Israel would be perceived as backing Russia in its activities in Ukraine, thus irking Washington.The US was already disappointed in Israel for not backing a United Nations condemnation of Russia’s involvement in Crimea that was put to the vote two and half months ago, the official explained.During a meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said that the ship was denied entry because Israel wants to maintain good ties with the US, Russia, and Ukraine.Haaretz reported that the Shin Bet objected to the Russian ship because it might be used to spy on Israel. The concerns were fueled by suspicions that a Russian naval ship that docked in Israel last year was also attempting espionage. That ship came to Israel during celebrations to mark 68 years since Victory Day, when Russia marks the surrender of Nazi Germany in World War II.Over the past few weeks, the Ukrainian government and the West have accused Russia of trying to destabilize Ukraine or create a pretext for another invasion. Russia — which annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula just days after voters there approved secession in a March referendum — has rejected the accusations.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Netanyahu: Iran, North Korea sharing nuclear technology-Prime minister makes case for Japan to pressure Tehran, says nuclear deal will only be diversionary tactic before attack on Israel-By AFP May 14, 2014, 8:07 am-The Times of Israel

TOKYO – Iran is sharing nuclear technology with North Korea, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview published Wednesday, as Tehran and world powers hold talks aimed at ending a decade-old standoff.Netanyahu, who is in Japan this week for talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida and other officials, said Iran “would share whatever technology it acquired with North Korea,” the Mainichi Shimbun reported in a front-page piece.Asked if Pyongyang is receiving technologies linked to nuclear and missile development from Iran, Netanyahu said: “Yes, that’s exactly the case.”In a separate interview with Japanese broadcaster NHK aired Tuesday, Netanyahu said Iran would use a nuclear deal with world powers as a diversionary tactic to shift world attention before attacking Israel.“They say that they would reduce production of uranium, but they increase production of centrifuges. It is as if they are acquiring express trains for development of nuclear weapons,” he said, according to an English translation of a Japanese voice-over of his comments provided by the Prime Minister’s Office.North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile program is one of Japan’s major security concerns.Despite international isolation and extensive sanctions, North Korea appears to be readying to carry out a fourth nuclear test, observers have said, and regularly makes noises about the weaponization of its technology.While being at the leading edge of Pyongyang’s isolation, resource-poor Japan has maintained friendly relations with oil-rich Iran through its years of ostracism, keeping up a diplomatic dialogue that many developed countries cut off decades ago.Late Tuesday, during a meeting with Kishida, Netanyahu called both Iran and North Korea “rogue” states.“We see a danger and a challenge posed by a rogue state arming itself with nuclear weapons. In your case it’s North Korea,” he said.“We are faced with such a rogue state in the form of Iran and its quest to develop nuclear weapons,” he said.“Iran continues to deceive the world and advance its nuclear program,” he said, adding “Clearly the Ayatollahs cannot be trusted.”“And if the international community wants to avoid the specter of nuclear terrorism, they must assure that Iran… not have the capability to develop nuclear weapons,” he said.Kishida however “stressed…the importance of support by the international community including Israel to the framework of talks” between Iran and five UN nuclear powers plus Germany, the foreign ministry said in a statement.Abe also made a similar comment on Monday.Tehran insists its nuclear program is intended only for civilian purposes.Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany are meeting in Vienna for a latest round of talks aimed at drafting the text of a comprehensive and potentially historic deal.An accord would see Tehran’s atomic program drastically reduced, and sanctions lifted on its lifeblood oil exports in return.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report

Hamas to Approve 'Unity' Government-Fatah-Hamas government to be established only with Hamas's 'parliamentary' approval, Haniyeh says. Will the terror group have full control?-Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on email Share on print More Sharing Services 3-By Arutz Sheva Staff-First Publish: 5/14/2014, 6:33 PM-IsraelNationalNews

A 'unity' government between Hamas and Fatah may well be established by the end of May - but only if the Hamas "parliament" approves the move first, Ismail Haniyeh said Wednesday. "Any government that does not obtain the confidence of the parliament will have no constitutional legality, and Fatah and Hamas have agreed on this," Haniyeh said in a speech to lawmakers in Gaza.  "The legislative council (parliament) will also monitor the consensus government's work," he said.On Tuesday, senior Fatah official Azzam al-Ahmed announced that he would be visiting Gaza to establish the unity government, which PLO officials estimated will be established by the end of the month. The Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas are to form an "independent government" of technocrats according to the deal. However, the chances of true reconciliation between the rival groups remains in doubt.A senior PA official on Sunday said that PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas told US National Security Adviser Susan Rice last week that Hamas will not be part of the unity government, adding that the terror group "does not need" to recognize Israel or renounce terror. Abbas has stated that the unity government will be under his control.Hamas continues to be adamant over its full control of a "unity" government, expressing over and over again that it would remain in control of both Gaza and the PA after elections and insisting that Haniyeh would rule the government. Hamas representatives have already claimed that the PA's police forces will be integrated into Hamas's police in Gaza, less than a week after co-founder Mahmoud Al-Zahar angrily denied allowing Hamas to be integrated into the PA side of law enforcement. Concerns have been raised about the international community's response to a Hamas-control government, as the EU has expressed support for the pact - fully convinced that Abbas, not Haniyeh, will take the lead. "The EU expects any new government to uphold the principle of non-violence, to remain committed to achieving a two-state solution and to a negotiated peaceful settlement ... including Israel's legitimate right to exist," EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton insisted last month. Ashton urged Israel and the PA to resume peace talks despite the pact - based, on Abbas's "reliability" in comparison to Hamas's."The fact that President Abbas will remain fully in charge of the negotiation process and have a mandate to negotiate in the name of all Palestinians provides further assurance that the peace negotiations can and must proceed," she claimed.

05/13/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Three American bishops in Qom to promote dialogue between US and Iran-Bombs on board the US aircraft carrier "Lincoln" (2008)-A delegation of US bishops paid a four day visit to Qom to meet with ayatollahs, right in the spiritual heart of the Shiite world. Their aim was to thaw frozen relations between Washington and Teheran-Giorgio Bernardelli
Rome-A four-day trip to Qom to promote greater understanding between Americans and Iranians. This was the purpose of the unique mission launched by a delegation of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, led by three bishops: the President  of the Commission for Justice and Peace; the Bishop of Des Moines, Richard Pates; the Archbishop Emeritus of Washington, Cardinal Theodor McCarrick, and Mgr. Denis Madde, Auxiliary Bishop of Baltimore and President of the US Ecumenism and Interfaith Dialogue Commission.The visit comes as a great surprise given Teheran has long viewed America as “the Great Satan”. After the famous abduction of the group of diplomats from the US Embassy back in 1979, it was only last September that an official meeting took place between the US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iran’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Mohammad Zarif, at the end of the UN General Assembly in new York. This was a sign of the change in climate favoured by the presidency of the moderate Hassan Rouhani. But this does not mean that relations between the two countries are now normalized.The USCCB delegation’s trip to Iran took place in March but the news only came out yesterday. The University of Maryland also played an important role in organizing the visit. The Supreme Council of the Seminary Teachers of Qom hosted the meetings with the US bishops who also met with Ayatollah Morteza Moghtadaei, Vice President of the influential Shiite academic centre, and the Grand Ayatollah, Javadi Amoli, amongst others.“We had a productive religious and moral dialogue that we hope will promote understanding between the peoples of Iran and the United States. We are committed to continuing and deepening these discussions in the future in order to contribute to a more just and peaceful world. As Pope Francis has said, dialogue is the key to discovering truth and avoiding misunderstanding,” said Bishop Pates.It is worth noting that the Seminary Teachers of Qom have also been engaged in dialogue with the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue for some time now. Another Iranian ayatollah, Mostafa Ahmadabadi, was invited to attend the Synod for the Middle East, where he gave a speech. Cardinal Jean Louis Tauran visited the important Shiite institution in 2010. Another meeting between the Iranian Centre for Interreligious Dialogue and its Vatican counterpart is set to take place in Qom, in October 2014.

Russia to Ban US From Space Station in Sanctions Retaliation
Tuesday, 13 May 2014 05:32 PM-Newsmax

Russia cast doubt on the long-term future of the International Space Station, a showcase of post-Cold War cooperation, as it retaliated on Tuesday against U.S. sanctions over Ukraine.Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said Moscow would reject a U.S. request to prolong the orbiting station's use beyond 2020. It will also bar Washington from using Russian-made rocket engines to launch military satellites.Moscow took the action, which also included suspending operation of GPS satellite navigation system sites on its territory from June, in response to U.S. plans to deny export licenses for high-technology items that could help the Russian military."We are very concerned about continuing to develop high-tech projects with such an unreliable partner as the United States, which politicizes everything," Rogozin told a news conference.Washington wants to keep the $100 billion, 15 nation space station project in use until at least 2024, four years beyond the previous target.Moscow's plan to part ways on a project which was supposed to end the "space race" underlines how relations between the former Cold War rivals have deteriorated since Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea region in March.Since the end of the  Space Shuttle project, Russian Soyuz spacecraft have been the only way U.S. astronauts can get to the space station, whose crews include mostly Americans and Russians, as well as visitors from other countries.At a time when Moscow is struggling to reform its accident-plagued space program, Rogozin said U.S. plans to deny export licenses for some high-technology items were a blow to Russian industry. "These sanctions are out of place and inappropriate," Rogozin said. "We have enough of our own problems."Moscow's response would affect NK-33 and RD-180 engines which Russia supplies to the United States, Rogozin said. "We are ready to deliver these engines but on one condition that they will not be used to launch military satellites," he said.RD-180 engines are used to boost Atlas 5 rockets manufactured by United Launch Alliance (ULA), a partnership of Lockheed Martin and Boeing that holds a virtual monopoly on launching U.S. military satellites.ULA on Tuesday said it was not yet aware of any restrictions and hopes talks will resolve any issues that do arise. It added that it can use other launch vehicles and has a two-year supply of engines to smooth over any transition."ULA and our Department of Defense customers have always prepared contingency plans in the event of a supply disruption," ULA spokeswoman Jessica Rye said in a statement.Rogozin said Moscow was planning "strategic changes" in its space industry after 2020 and aims to use money and "intellectual resources" that now go to the space station for a "a project with more prospects".He suggested Russia could use the station without the United States, saying: "The Russian segment can exist independently from the American one. The U.S. one cannot."The U.S. space agency NASA is working with companies to develop space taxis with the goal of restoring U.S. transport to the station by 2017. The United States currently pays Russia more than $60 million per person to fly its astronauts up.Rogozin said Russia will suspend the operation of 11 GPS sites on its territory from June and seek talks with Washington on opening similar sites in the United States for Russia's own satellite navigation system, Glonass.He threatened the permanent closure of the GPS sites in Russia if that is not agreed by September. Rogozin said the suspension of the sites would not affect everyday operations of the GPS system in Russia, where it is used by millions of Russians for navigation on their smartphones and in their cars.The upheaval in Ukraine — where the United States says Russia is backing separatists and the Kremlin accuses Washington of helping protesters to topple a Moscow-friendly president in February, has led to the worst East-West crisis since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.In addition to the high-tech sector sanctions, the United States has imposed visa bans and assets freezes on officials and lawmakers and targeted companies with links to President Vladimir Putin. The European Union has also imposed sanctions.The Russian Foreign Ministry said earlier on Tuesday that the latest EU measures were an "exhausted, trite approach" that would only deepen discord and hamper efforts to defuse the crisis in Ukraine.

Turkey-Israel deal reached, awaits Netanyahu’s approval’-Lifting Gaza blockade, originally a key demand from Ankara, will not be part of normalization agreement, source says-By Raphael Ahren May 14, 2014, 5:47 pm 2-The Times of Israel

A deal to end the four-year-old feud between Turkey and Israel is imminent and could be signed as soon as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returns from his trip to Japan, The Times of Israel has learned.Jerusalem and Ankara agree on all outstanding issues that thus far have stood in the way of an agreement to fully restore bilateral ties to their pre-Gaza flotilla level, a knowledgeable source told The Times of Israel. Now it is up to Netanyahu to make a final decision to approve the deal, the source said.The first step in a gradual reconciliation would be the immediate exchange of ambassadors. The deal also includes a $20 million compensation package for the families of nine Turks who died aboard the Gaza-bound Mavi Marmara in May 2010 during an Israeli commando raid to stop the vessel. However, the agreement will not mention any change to Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip, according to the source, who asked to remain unnamed due to the sensitive nature of the issue. Top officials in Ankara have repeatedly insisted that lifting the blockade is a key condition that needs to be fulfilled before ties can be re-normalized.“The Turks are seeking to sign the deal with greater urgency than the Israelis do,” the source said, adding that the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan would be ready to send an ambassador to Tel Aviv “the day after the agreement is signed.” After every prolonged conflict, “some suspicions” are sure to remain on both sides, but by and large Turkey is interested in restoring ties with Israel – “and they want it fast,” the source said.After ErdoÄŸan’s Justice and Development Party, or AKP, landed a decisive victory in local elections earlier this year – which he characterized as a national referendum on his leadership — ErdoÄŸan feels “strong enough” to agree to closer ties with Israel, the source said.As opposed to some who believe that Turkey, under ErdoÄŸan, is orienting itself toward radical Islam and away from the West, some Israeli Turkey experts believe that Ankara does not seek to be seen as overly affiliated with groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood. Furthermore, ErdoÄŸan and Foreign Minister Ahmet DavutoÄŸlu have in recent months refrained from making anti-Semitic and anti-Israel statements — a noteworthy development after a string of such comments last year raised eyebrows worldwide (for example, Turkish leaders blamed Israel for anti-government activity in their country and in Egypt, and made crass anti-Semitic statements).Pressured by the US, ErdoÄŸan also canceled his planned visit to Gaza last summer, another sign that Ankara is interested in improving its relationship with Jerusalem, the source said. “The Turks don’t owe us anything. They actually have some leverage over us, regarding the Marmara and Gaza. But still, they’re interested in cooperating with us.”Turkey wants to be a regional power and shares, more or less, Israel’s views on issues such as the Iranian nuclear threat and the Syrian civil war. Ankara is also keen on extending economic ties with Israel, including the export of natural gas, the source said.On April 27, ErdoÄŸan said that a deal leading to “normalization” with Israel was “a matter of weeks.” Last week, DavutoÄŸlu said that talks between the two countries had reached “a certain level” and that “problems have been substantially overcome.” However, he said that Ankara would only agree to normalize relations after Jerusalem lifted “restrictions on the whole of Palestine, including Gaza,” something the Israeli source said was not part of the deal the two sides agreed to.On Wednesday, the Israeli embassy canceled a planned reception celebrating Israel’s 66th Independence Day due to the coal mine accident in western Turkey, which claimed the live of hundreds of workers. “The State and people of Israel share the grief of the Turkish people, pay condolences to the families of the deceased, wish speedy recovery for the wounded and hope for positive news from the ones still in the mine,” embassy spokesman Nizar Amer said in a statement.Israel also offered assistance to Turkey, but authorities in Ankara have yet to respond to the offer.President Shimon Peres also sent a letter of condolence to his Turkish counterpart, Abdullah Gul.“I wish to extend my deepest condolences, and those of the people of Israel, to your country on the tragic accident in Manisa,” Peres wrote, according to a statement from the President’s Residence. “We are all shocked at the loss of life of innocent people at work and our thoughts are with the people of Turkey. At times of tragedy we must all do what we can to help one another and we have offered Turkey whatever assistance you require at this time.“From the Holy Land the people of Israel pray for the victims, their families, for the rescue of those still trapped and the full recovery of the injured. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and those of the people of Israel.”

Power struggle looms after EU vote
12.05.14 @ 09:12-By Honor Mahony and Valentina Pop


BRUSSELS - In just over three week's time the European elections will be over but a new process will have just begun – an immense power struggle between the EU  institutions.EU council chief Van Rompuy is set to have lengthy negotiations on the name of the next commission president (Photo: Council of European Union) It will involve two different approaches on how to interpret the results. This will in turn affect who should become the next European Commission president.The European Parliament believes the post should go to either the top candidate of the political party that wins the most votes or to the candidate who can get a majority among the groups.There are six in total including Jean-Claude Juncker for the centre-right, Martin Schulz for the centre-left, Guy Verhofstadt for the liberals, Jose Bove and Ska Keller for the Greens and leftist Alexis Tsipras.The candidates see themselves as real contenders. EU leaders, on the other hand, see them useful for raising interest in the vote and nothing more.Member states want to be free to choose someone else entirely for the commission post, as a "package deal" with the two other top posts – European Council president and the foreign affairs chief – and possibly also including the successor to Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem, whose mandate ends next year.Both sides look to the treaty for validation.The treaty says that EU  leaders have to take into account the result of the election when choosing someone for the post. MEPs took inspiration from the wording to create presidential contenders for the major parties.Both sides also feel they have the democracy argument on their side.EU leaders note that they are democratically elected representatives choosing a president; the parliament says that its way will reflect voters' wishes.

Balance of power

At heart is a good old-fashioned power struggle between EU institutions.Klaus Welle, Secretary General of the European Parliament, says the EU treaty intended to change the balance of power."How much – that will be played out in the next couple of weeks," he recently told an audience at Brussels' CEPS thinktank.The fact that the vote between the top two parties – the centre-right EPP and the Socialists – is set to be so close is only likely to make the struggle even more intense.To get an agreement on the name, a qualified majority is needed among member states as well as an absolute majority in parliament.It could be that Juncker, for example, gathers the support he needs among member states but cannot muster enough among MEPs.Or that Schulz can get MEPs behind him, but not enough leaders. There are other potentially awkward questions too. What will Germany do? Chancellor Angela Merkel has never liked the whole idea of presidential candidates. But her vice-chancellor Sigmar Gabriel is also leader of the Social-Democrats and, so far, a Schulz supporter. Merkel's grand coalition has not yet agreed on which party colour the next German commissioner should have. A meeting between Merkel and Gabriel is scheduled on the day after the EU election to discuss the matter.The Brussels-based drama will start two days after the results are in, on Tuesday 27 May.In the morning the political group leaders of the outgoing parliament will meet to discuss the results and what to do next. Merkel has signalled she dislikes the idea of having Schulz chair the group leaders' meeting, given that he is one of the top candidates. Instead she wants EPP chairman Joseph Daul to lead the meeting.EU leaders will meet in the afternoon and evening in Brussels. They are expected to "mandate" European Council President Herman Van Rompuy to start the talks with governments and MEPs.Chancellor Merkel has already made clear that the process will take time."There is a meeting of European leaders and heads of government set for May 27, but the decision will not be made on the Tuesday or Wednesday following the elections," she said Saturday."The negotiations will last several weeks," she added.Welle, for his part, takes some pleasure in pointing out how few people know the treaty well. He notes that it says that Van Rompuy has to consult MEPs beforehand and that parliament must then "elect" the president."Treaty language is important."While the consulting is going on, the parliament's political groups will also be forming. By 24 June, all factions are to be set in stone, determining key things such as funding and committee chairs. But also potential voting alliances for the commission president.EU leaders will gather once again in Brussels for their traditional summer summit on 27 June.The parliament will have its constitutive session in the first week of July, electing its own chief on the 1st of the month. The earliest possible date that the European Commission president could be voted on is on 15-16 July. But most think this is unlikely and that the institutional wrangling will still be in full swing at that point.Welle notes that the nomination vote "could" also be in September.Hearings of all commissioner nominees are meant to be in September and the final confirmation vote of the whole Commission in October, when the mandate of the current executive expires.

Democracy claims

Member states view the EP's claims about democracy with a jaundiced eye. They think the parliament is more concerned about power politics. "The EP claims that more democratic legitimacy equals more powers to the EP. But this is not the track record we've seen, with legislation blocked just to assert their power," one EU diplomat said.The source added that among member states, there are several saying that more democracy should come with more powers to national parliaments rather than the European Parliament. Meanwhile EU leaders are unlikely to accept the scenario of having two of the 'Spitzenkand idaten' emerge as the ultimate compromise – Schulz as Commission president and Juncker chairing the European Council. "That would mean the Parliament gets to decide on two posts, not just one," the EU diplomat said.The council's ace up its sleeve if the EP blocks the appointment of the new commission is to accuse it of needless quarrelling at a time when Europe is grappling with the Ukraine crisis.Welle, known as a master political tactician, is rather sanguine about it all.He likens it to the EP announcing it wants to land on Mars. First, MEPs were told they couldn't build a rocket, and then that it would never fly."Now the discussion is: you will not be allowed to land on Mars."

Ukraine to use EU and IMF money to pay for Russian gas
Today @ 09:28-MAY 14,14-By Andrew Rettman


BRUSSELS - Ukraine plans to use EU and IMF money to pay for Russian gas, but will not pay a cent unless Moscow agrees a market price, its authorities say.Its caretaker PM, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, made the point at a meeting with European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso in Brussels on Tuesday (13 May).He said: “We want a deal based on market conditions. If Russia rejects this, we will bring Russia to [an international arbitrage] court in Stockholm. If I’m not mistaken, there’s 20 days left - this is the final call for Russia to sit at the negotiating table.”He noted that Russia’s ultimatum on gas debts is offset by its seizure of Ukrainian energy assets in Crimea last month, worth “tens, if not hundreds, of billions of dollars.” He listed stolen assets as: 2 billion cubic metres of gas in storage vats; two energy firms; onshore and offshore drilling facilities; and offshore gas fields.Ukraine’s ambassador to the EU, Kostyantin Yeliseyev, told EUobserver on Wednesday that no EU or International Monetary Fund (IMF) money will be used to pay Russia’s “political” gas price.“We are not so stupid or naive as to pay this price,” he noted.“The situation is not easy and time is running: We need to start filling our underground storage facilities so that we can ensure transit of [Russian] gas to European countries [in winter],” he added.Russian supplier Gazprom has said it will halt deliveries to Ukraine on 2 June unless it makes a pre-payment of $1.7 billion based on a price of $485 per thousand cubic metres (tcm) - almost twice the amount charged to its EU customers.Last year it offered Ukraine $268.5 per tcm as part of a bailout for its former leader Viktor Yanukovych.But it cancelled the offer when he fell from power and Ukraine resumed preparations to sign a free trade pact with the EU.For its part, the EU on Tuesday signed off a €1.6 billion macro-financial aid package to Ukraine, saying the first part, worth some €600 million, will be disbursed “soon.” The deal comes on top of an IMF bailout tranche of $3.2 billion paid out one week ago.A commission spokesman, Simon O’Connor, noted: “It is aid for the Ukrainian budget to meet its external financing needs, which includes payments in the energy sector.”Barroso told press alongside Yatsenyuk: “Russia, if it wants to be seen as a credible supplier cannot play political games with energy.” He added: “If Russia continues with this kind of behaviour, it will only lead to its further isolation.”The EU is trying to set up a meeting with Ukraine and Russia’s energy ministers before 2 June to solve the gas dispute.It is also taking steps on the broader crisis in Ukraine. Barroso noted that preparations are afoot to sign the free trade pact with Ukraine after elections on 25 May, legally cementing its pro-Western path.EU ministers earlier this week threatened to trigger economic sanctions against Russia if it derails the May vote.Yatsenyuk also said Ukraine’s new president is likely to come to Brussels on his first international trip after the election to sign the trade treaty.The gas row comes amid continued fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine, which saw six Ukrainian soldiers and one rebel killed in an ambush on Tuesday.The US the same day released fresh satellite footage showing that Russian President Vladimir Putin did not make good on his promise to move troops away from the Ukrainian border.“Russia will fail to make Ukraine a failed state,” Yatsenyuk said in the EU capital.

California fire crews hold line against San Diego blaze-A firefighter battles the Ranch Fire near San Diego-MAY 14,14-YahooNews

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - California fire crews, helped by diminished overnight winds, made substantial headway by early Wednesday against a blaze that had prompted thousands of evacuations in and around San Diego for several hours while flames were at their peak.Crews managed to establish containment lines around 25 percent of the fire's perimeter by daybreak Wednesday, with all evacuation orders lifted since Tuesday night, and area schools closed due to the blaze reopened, fire officials said.Since erupting late on Tuesday morning, the fire has scorched more than 1,500 acres of brush, stoked by triple-digit temperatures, low humidity and winds that gusted to 25 miles per hour.Winds abated late on Tuesday, enabling firefighters to gain ground against the flames with help from water-dropping aircraft, but fire teams faced a potentially difficult second day."We're very worried about today," said Lee Swanson, a spokeswoman for San Diego Fire and Rescue. "We're looking at gusting winds to 50 miles per hour, humidity at 5 percent and temperatures reaching 100 degrees (Fahrenheit). Those are dangerous conditions."The so-called Bernardo fire flared as California entered the height of wildfire season in the midst of one of the state's worst droughts on record, setting the stage for what fire officials fear could be a particularly intense and dangerous year.California officials have kept staffing levels for wildland firefighters at elevated levels since last year because of the drought.No property losses or injuries have been reported in the Bernardo fire, which was burning on the fringes of San Diego and into unincorporated areas lying just to the north of the city. The cause of the blaze was under investigation.(Reporting by Marty Graham; Writing by Steve Gorman; Editing by Cynthia Johnston and Andrew Hay)
