If I forget thee East Jerusalem, let my writing hand wither-A government plan to clamp down on half of the supposedly united capital gains few plaudits from pundits, who surmise it will make things worse and enshrine the division of the city-By Joshua Davidovich October 14, 2015, 2:27 pm 4-the times of israel

Sometime on the morning of October 13, as an ancient sun clambered up the Judean hills to perch above the holy city, five men left their East Jerusalem neighborhoods, armed with knives, hatchets, a pistol, a steering wheel and the will to kill or maim as many Jewish Israelis as possible, wreaking mayhem, chaos and terror. By the time their murder spree was complete, three Israeli men were dead, the cities of Jerusalem and Ra’anana were shaken to their cores, and a fight that until now had mostly been relegated to knives, with their mercifully low casualty rate, had escalated to a whole new kind of battle.Judging from the front pages of Israeli papers Wednesday morning, which are reminiscent of the bad old days of the summer of 2014, or the Second Intifada, that battle is on the way to becoming a full-on war, though the way in which that war will be fought garners a heap of second-guessing.Much of the coverage in the print editions focuses less on the four attacks in Jerusalem and Ra’anana and more on the government’s response, which includes an army deployment to Jerusalem – nearly unheard of in the annals of the state — and a similarly drastic move of setting up checkpoints in East Jerusalem neighborhoods and possibly closing them off altogether.“Jerusalem: Soldiers to guard buses,” reads the main headline in Yedioth Ahronoth in bright red letters, above a large picture of ZAKA volunteers in white plastic suits cleaning up the mess from a gun and knife attack aboard a bus, one of four assaults Tuesday in the seemingly never-ending wave of terror that has gripped the country. Israel Hayom’s main headline “Army to enter cities” sends the same message, while Haaretz takes a more critical tack, reporting in its main headline that “the cabinet is considering cutting off East Jerusalem.”Yedioth dubs Jerusalem “the terror capital” (and with 12+ attacks over just a few days, who can blame it) and lays out the cabinet’s “answer to terror,” namely putting soldiers in Jerusalem, putting armed people on buses, cutting off East Jerusalem, revoking citizenship for families of terrorists and razing their homes within three days of an attack.Among the many commentators across all three major dailies there isn’t much in the way of praise for the plan as just what the doctor ordered, though Israel Hayom’s Boaz Bismuth comes closest as believing it will in fact return security to the streets of Jerusalem, Ra’anana and elsewhere.“These are important steps. Israeli citizens deserve massive protection. It’s their right as citizens. It’s also the army’s job,” he writes. “The Israeli public is going through a hard time. All of us. But we’ve been through hard times. We’ll make it through this as well. Together.”Not everybody else is so sanguine about sending troops into the center of Jerusalem and effectively cutting off the eastern part of the city.It’s the second part that seems to have most people’s goats, as it will mean the effective division of the so-called undivided capital of Israel.“The emergency atmosphere and anger in the air obligated the mayor and ministers to answer. The answer they came up with at first yesterday, putting a closure on East Jerusalem neighborhoods, is perhaps the worst one they could have come up with,” writes Haaretz’s Nir Hasson, not mincing words. “Not only because you can’t simply separate the two halves of the city in one fell swoop, certainly not in a way that will keep Palestinians with intent to harm from crossing from one side to the other; not only because this is admitting that a united Jerusalem is an illusion; but because the consequences will be destructive for both sides of the city.”If this is the government’s way of de facto dividing Jerusalem, Yedioth’s Shimon Shiffer, for one, won’t be shedding any tears, writing that the solution that’s needed is a diplomatic one, and that the division of Jerusalem happened long ago.“The prime minister needs to establish a professional team to manage the political, military and diplomatic fight in the storm growing around us,” he writes. “And another thing, [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu has already divided Jerusalem in practice, and any dream of uniting the capital has been taken off the agenda as a result of the recent popular uprising.”Beyond hashing over what needs to be done, analysts also apparently decide they’re bored with the current conflict and try their hand at handicapping what the next one – and of course there will be a next one – might look like.In Yedioth, Ben-Dror Yemini dubs the spate of unrest the “incitement intifada,” surmising that Arab political and religious leaders, as well as media and social media, are driving teenagers to grab knives and attack Jews, and they need to be taken care of before the next time the night soil hits the fan.“This is incitement, spewing forth from preachers like the mufti of Jerusalem, who calls to kill Jews because they are Jews, through to [Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement head] Raed Salah, who spreads the ‘desecration of al-Aqsa,’ and the broadcasts of the Palestinian Authority, which give a seal of approval to the hateful words of the preachers,” he writes. “We need to change the rules of the game, we need to stop the collective blindness. This won’t stop the current wave. But it’s worthwhile to advance a cure for the problem, before the next wave comes.”In Haaretz, though, Barak Ravid opines that it’s Netanyahu and his peace-killing ways, and not Facebook posts glorifying the stabbing of Israelis, that needs to change ahead of the next wave of violence.“ Even more disconcerting is the tendency by Netanyahu and his ministers to disassociate the current crisis from its context. As if this is a natural disaster that has emerged and is out of our control, and not a man- made development for which Israel might be at least partially responsible. Netanyahu has been talking in recent days about a century of terrorism against Jews between Jordan and the sea. He is right, but he is also ignoring 48 years of occupation, and is refusing to admit that, maybe – only maybe – they have something to do with the current wave of violence,” he writes.“The explosion that we are experiencing is part of an ‘atomization’ of the conflict; the fight isn’t against the Palestinian Authority or Hamas, but against an entire generation of young Palestinians, some of them kids, who don’t see a future for themselves. They are frustrated, desperate and incensed. They hate Israel as much as they hate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. In the current situation, the capability of dealing with the situation is limited. There are many means of defense – deploying troops to Jerusalem, severe punishment, closures, arrests and house demolitions. But even if this quells the current wave of unrest, the calm would be only temporary – until the next one, which will be even more difficult.”

Cabinet reportedly OKs removing ‘inciters’ from Temple Mount-Government said to have issued dozens of restraining orders; army will have authority to limit duration of MK visits; Jordan threatens to downgrade ties-By Times of Israel staff October 14, 2015, 9:49 pm

The cabinet reportedly approved Tuesday the issuing of dozens of restraining orders against identified “heads” of a Palestinian incitement campaign from entering the Temple Mount, part of a series of measures Israel is hoping will help stem the recent wave of terror attacks.According to a report by Hebrew-language website Ynet, the cabinet also approved the administrative detention of several of the so-called inciters.The approval came as the cabinet okayed a number of anti-terrorist measures, including the deployment of troops to Israeli cities, loosening gun control restrictions for civilians and taking extra security measures for Jerusalem, including checkpoints around some Arab neighborhoods.The move came hours after a series of terror attacks in Jerusalem and central Israel killed three and injured dozens more on Tuesday, the deadliest day in a wave of terror that has seen near daily stabbing attacks for nearly two weeks.Following cabinet approval, the Shin Bet security service will submit to Israel Police a list of the people who it wants restrained from the Temple Mount or arrested. Police will carry out the arrests and serve the restraining orders. Extremists barricading themselves inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque are among the individuals the Shin Bet would like to see distanced from the volatile site.The cabinet also gave the IDF’s OC Central Command the authority to limit the amount of time Knesset members can spend on the Temple Mount.Lawmakers enjoy immunity that renders them exempt from bans on visiting the site, but their immunity can be restricted in cases of security risks.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week asked the police to ban all MKs from the Temple Mount. His order, however, cannot be maintained for a long period of time due to the fact that it impinges on the lawmakers’ immunity, Ynet reported.Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein and his deputy Raz Nizry were present at Tuesday’s cabinet meeting.Much of the violence over the last weeks has been touched off by Palestinian claims that Israel intends to change the status quo at the Temple Mount. The Israeli government has repeatedly denied any intention of altering the status quo on the site, the holiest in Judaism and third-holiest in Islam, where Jews are currently permitted to visit but not to pray.Despite the promises, the Arab world has continued to express anger over Israeli actions.On Wednesday, the Jordanian prime minister said that Jordanian-Israeli ties will be “affected” if the “ongoing Israeli provocations at Al-Aqsa Mosque continue.”Jordanian Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour said that Jordan keeps all legal and diplomatic options open to deal with “Israeli assaults” on the mosque, in comments quoted by the paper Al Hayat.Other Jordanian officials have also threatened to downgrade the country’s ties with Israel over Temple Mount tensions.

Arab League, Turkey slam Israel for latest violence-Criticism comes hours after 3 Israelis killed in a series of terror attacks in Jerusalem and Ra’anana-By Raoul Wootliff October 13, 2015, 6:11 pm 9-the times of israel

Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby on Tuesday called on the international community to provide “protection” to the Palestinians in their struggle against Israeli “terrorism” directed at them.Elaraby was speaking at an emergency meeting of the Arab League in Cairo, convened to discuss “Israeli attacks in Jerusalem and the desecration of the al-Aqsa Mosque,” the Ynet news site reported. Three Israelis were killed in a series of terror attacks by Palestinian assailants Tuesday.“Israel continues implementing plans to change the status of the Noble Sanctuary [the Muslim term for the Temple Mount] through an unprecedented and fierce attack resulting in dozens of martyrs; it is flagrant challenge to international laws and norms and the will of the international community,” Elaraby said.Israel has repeatedly denied having any intention of making changes to the status quo, according to which Jews may visit the Temple Mount — the site of the two ancient Jewish temples and of al-Aqsa Mosque, and the holiest site in Judaism — but not pray there.A statement released by the Turkish Foreign Ministry on Tuesday also blamed Israel for “provocative and arbitrary practices” and accused it of wielding “disproportionate force” against Palestinians, according to Turkey’s Hurriyet newspaper.“We strongly condemn Israeli security forces’ use of disproportionate force in these incidents, which have developed as a result of Israel’s insistence on practices against status quo,” the statement read, referring to attacks against Israelis that have been linked to the Palestinian claims that Israel is trying to change the arrangements at the volatile Temple Mount site.“The only way to prevent escalation of the tension is Israel abiding by rules of international law in Palestinian territories which it keeps under occupation and, within this framework, it giving an immediate end to provocative and arbitrary practices which target status and holiness of the al-Haram al-Sharif,” the statement added, using the Arabic term for the Temple Mount. Several Arab states, including Egypt and Saudi Arabia, last week urged Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to work to calm tensions and prevent any further escalation of violence in the West Bank and Jerusalem.The Arab governments expressed concern that a full-blown intifada would lead to a loss of control over the Palestinian street and empower extremist groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Tuesday’s statements came hours after a series of terror attacks inside Israel that left three people dead and several more injured, in a major escalation in the ongoing violence.Hamas called the attacks “acts of heroism,” saying in a statement released Tuesday morning that such assaults should be seen as “a warning to anyone trying to lay their hands on al-Aqsa.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called an emergency security cabinet meeting for Tuesday afternoon to discuss new security measures following the attacks. Speaking at the scene of the of the attack in the Armon Hanatziv neighborhood – where two Israelis were killed when two terrorists raided a bus – Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat demanded a complete closure on the West Bank and East Jerusalem Arab neighborhoods, saying harsher measures were needed to battle a terror wave that has rocked the capital over the last month.The Adalah NGO for Arab-Israeli legal rights on Tuesday decried the proposal as “indiscriminate and disproportionate.”“This step is collective punishment that violates the basic rights of these villages as well as international law,” Adalah said in a statement. “The closure compounds other steps taken by the Israeli government in recent weeks that deepen the oppression that has been ongoing for 48 years and escalates the situation.”Avi Issacharoff and Judah Ari Gross contributed to this report.

Abbas: boy killed in ‘cold blood’; Netanyahu says speech ‘lies’-Channel 10 says Jordan has already agreed to host bilateral talks to be overseen by John Kerry-By Sara Miller October 14, 2015, 2:05 pm 11-the times of israel

22:10-PM rebuffs Abbas’s ‘cold blood’ charge as ‘lies’-Prime Minsiter Benjamin Netanyahu responds to PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s speech delivered on Palestinian television, saying they were “incitement and lies.”Abbas accused Israel of killing Ahmed Manasra, who stabbed two Israelis including a 13-year-old on Monday along with his cousin Hassan, “in cold blood.”“The youth he is talking about is alive & was hospitalized after he stabbed an Israeli boy,” the prime minister says in a statement. Apparently Abbas confused Hassan and Ahmed; Ahmed, 13, was hospitalized and Hassan was shot dead by police after attempting to stab them.“While Israel maintains the status quo on Temple Mount, Abbas, with his incitement, makes cynical use of religion and thus brings about terror,” Netanyahu says.

Israeli military begins deploying troops in Jerusalem to help police counter wave of attacks-The Canadian PressBy Aron Heller, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – Oct 14,15-yahoonews

JERUSALEM - The Israeli military began deploying hundreds of troops in cities across the country on Wednesday to assist police forces in countering a wave of deadly Palestinian shooting and stabbing attacks that have created panic across the country.The military's planned deployment of six companies marks the first implementation of measures by Israel's security Cabinet to counter the attacks that have intensified dramatically in recent days.The Cabinet met late into the night and announced steps early Wednesday that included allowing police to seal off points of friction or incitement.Many of the recent attackers have come from Arab areas of Jerusalem, prompting calls to seal off those neighbourhoods to contain potential attackers. In a new step, Israeli forces placed makeshift checkpoints in Palestinian neighbourhoods in Jerusalem to monitor traffic leaving the areas.The Cabinet, which was meeting again Wednesday, also decided to strip residency rights and demolish homes of some attackers and draft hundreds more security guards to secure public transport.Israeli police said 300 soldiers had already been incorporated into their deployment on the streets of east Jerusalem, where many of the assailants are from.In new violence Wednesday, Israeli police said an attacker stabbed a 70-year-old woman, moderately wounding her, as she attempted to board to bus near Jerusalem's crowded central bus station. The attacker was shot by forces in the area, but his condition was not immediately known. Earlier, police said they shot and killed an Arab man after he pulled out a knife and attempted to stab them. His identity was not immediately known.In recent weeks, eight Israelis have died in a string of stabbings, shootings and the stoning of a car, while 30 Palestinians have been killed — 13 of them identified by Israel as attackers, the rest killed in stone-throwing clashes with Israeli forces.Israel's internal security minister said Wednesday that the bodies of dead Palestinian attackers would not be returned to their families for burial.Gilad Erdan said the funeral processions of Palestinians who killed Israelis often turn into "an exhibition of support for terror and incitement to murder." He said Israel should not allow them to "enjoy respect and ceremonies" after their deaths.The funerals are a frequent flashpoint for clashes and often include calls for revenge. Erdan suggested the attackers be buried without fanfare in distant cemeteries where previous Palestinian killers have been buried.The comments come after a particularly bloody day Tuesday in which a pair of Palestinian stabbing and shooting attacks in Jerusalem killed three Israelis and another two attacks took place in the normally quiet Israeli city of Raanana. Three Palestinians, including two attackers, were also killed.The government has been unable to stop the violence, carried out mostly by young Palestinians unaffiliated with known militant groups and apparently acting on their own. The violence erupted a month ago over the Jewish New Year, fueled by rumours that Israel was plotting to take over Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site, sacred to both Muslims and Jews. Israel has adamantly denied the allegations.Israel says the violence has been fueled by what it says is rampant incitement against Jews and Israelis on social media spread by Islamic groups and the Palestinian leadership. In a briefing to foreign journalists Wednesday, Israeli Cabinet minister Yuval Steinitz said it had less to do with political differences and more with anti-Semitic incitement to create a religious war.He showed Palestinian videos and animations that glorified the stabbings of Jews in the Old City of Jerusalem and the killing of a Jewish settler couple in the West Bank in front of their children.He also quoted Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' recent statement where he blessed "every drop of blood spilled for Allah" and that Jews desecrated a Jerusalem holy site with their "filthy feet.""This is not new. It is just a new wave of terrorism and violence and this time it's totally clear that the main approach here is a religious approach," Steinitz said. "It's all about horrible, anti-Jewish, racist incitement."Palestinians say the violence, coming at a time when prospects for gaining independence appear nil, is the result of years of occupation and failed peace efforts."Israel is an occupier in Jerusalem. It should end its occupation. This is the key to peace and stability," said Saeb Erekat, a top Palestinian official."Decisions such as the ones adopted by the Israeli Cabinet pour gasoline on the fire," he added. "Measures of collective punishment and killings and arrests and demolishing houses and confiscation of lands will only lead to the escalation of the situation."The clashes erupted last month when young Palestinians barricaded themselves inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem's Old City, hurling stones and firebombs at police.The violence quickly spread across Israel and into the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Clashes continued Wednesday between Israeli troops and Palestinian protesters in the West Bank city of Bethlehem.The Obama administration issued a strong condemnation of Palestinian incitement and assaults against Israelis. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said he planned to visit the region soon to try and encourage calm.

Knesset caucus aims to ‘reconnect’ with descendants of Sephardi Jews-It is a moral imperative to strengthen ties with the ‘bnei anusim’ who are now being embraced by Spain and Portugal, says caucus director Ashley Perry-By Amanda Borschel-Dan October 14, 2015, 5:56 pm 1-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

This week Lisbon began bestowing citizenship upon descendants of Sephardic Jews who were persecuted on the Iberian Peninsula some 500 years ago. Only three have qualified in Portugal thus far, but since October 2 in neighboring Spain, 4,302 new citizens have begun the bureaucratic citizenship process based on similar laws offering statehood as way of making amends for the historical crimes committed during the Inquisition.Seeing the media buzz generated by Spain and Portugal’s initiatives, Ashley Perry, a longtime adviser to the Foreign Ministry and international pro-Israel organizations, realized that, ironically, Israel is neglecting this same population.In an August interview, Perry told The Times of Israel that, despite concerns about Jewish law, he “dreams to create a law similar to the Spanish and Portuguese law for bnei anusim [descendants of Sephardi Jews, who are largely no longer Jewish in practice].”And now Israel may be one step closer as Perry and other like-minded individuals and politicians launched a new Knesset caucus Tuesday that aims to reconnect these potential friends of Israel to the state their ancestors prayed for.‘There are few Jews who don’t have someone in their ancestries who wasn’t forcibly converted’To Perry, a Sephardi Jew born in England, these descendants of Jews who were expelled or tortured during the Inquisition — currently scattered around the globe — could instinctively be natural supporters of Israel. Likewise, said Perry in August, “There are few Jews who don’t have someone in their ancestries who wasn’t forcibly converted.”Perry’s main motive, he said, is to “correct a historic injustice. It is a moral imperative to welcome back the bnei anusim.” And rebinding their fate with that of their distant Jewish relatives will, he said, “only strengthen the Jewish people.”With that in mind Perry recently founded Reconectar, an organization whose mission is to facilitate the reconnection with descendants of Spanish and Portuguese Jewish communities. Additionally, he is the director of the Knesset Caucus for the Reconnection with the Descendants of Spanish and Portuguese Jewish communities, which launched on Tuesday with a media event and conference hosting international academics and speakers.The Knesset event, which saw some 300 participants, including several MKs and the Spanish and Argentine ambassadors, was “something very symbolic and historic,” Perry told The Times of Israel this week.The subsequent conference, which took place in Jerusalem’s Ben Tzvi Institute, was chaired by Yisrael Beytenu MK Robert Ilatov, who cited the significance and potential global reach of this new initiative through the sheer numerical force of the descendants, which “stand in the tens of millions around the world,” said Ilatov.“Many of them are interested in exploring their Jewish roots and this movement will only be strengthened with technological advances that will aid them in this task. Our role as the Jewish people and the State of Israel’s decision-makers is to assist them in this task,” said Ilatov.Perry’s fledgling organization Reconectar is to be an online hub of educational materials and facilitation of more in-depth encounters with members of the Jewish Diaspora. Set to launch in early 2016, the website will initially be in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and will, at its most basic level, connect bnei anousim interested in learning about Judaism to Jews who are interested in teaching it. ‘You can reclaim your past, reclaim your family’s past’Perry aims to “create a resource to help people with an interest in Jewish customs,” including several Sephardi practices that a surprisingly number of their families may have kept in some way for centuries. He said he’s been told about families who always swept their dust to the center of the room (a Sephardi tradition), who would place small statues of the Madonna on their doorposts and kiss the feet (it is likely their distant relatives hid a mezuzah there), who spoke a “strange Spanish” (Ladino), or even an entire Christian congregation in New Mexico that would bow to the corner of the sanctuary (it turned out a Torah scroll had been buried there).Perry wants to show that “you can reclaim your past, reclaim your family’s past.”“This building, the Knesset, and the reestablished State of Israel remind us that the Jewish People are indeed the ‘eternal nation’ and we never let historical circumstances prevent us from achieving the seemingly impossible,” Perry said Tuesday.For a successful reconnection, however, two communities must be mobilized: the Jewish world and the bnei anusim, he said.“We need to place the reconnection with the Bnei Anusim on the agenda of the Jewish world and the State of Israel, which I hope we are beginning to do here today,” said Perry.

In war on terrorism, Netanyahu takes a short-term approach-Since PM sees Palestinian refusal to recognize a Jewish state as the root cause for violence, his only remedy is perseverance-By Raphael Ahren October 14, 2015, 8:50 pm 5-the times of israel

The government and opposition are united in calling for concrete measures to immediately stem the terrorism raging in Israel’s streets, but deeply divided about the root cause for the ongoing violence and ways to tackle it over the long term.Amid plummeting approval ratings, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet have been exclusively focusing on tactical steps — more security forces on the streets and harsher penalties for terrorists — rather than drastically changing the way they approach the Palestinian problem.The security cabinet, during a long late-night session Tuesday, approved several operational initiatives: It ordered the IDF to reinforce the police, it authorized the police to impose “closures” around parts of East Jerusalem, and asked for work to be done to complete the West Bank security fence. In addition, it decided to confiscate the property of terrorists, to demolish their homes and revoke residency rights, and to withhold the bodies of terrorists killed during their attacks.While there is debate over the legality of some of those measures, opposition leader Isaac Herzog gave Netanyahu free hand to do what he deems necessary.“We will back every security measure that you initiate and lead, without hesitation, in order to immediately return security to the country and its citizens,” Herzog told Netanyahu Tuesday in the Knesset. “We will never serve as an opposition to the nation of Israel and its security.”However, Herzog and Netanyahu — and, in a wider sense, the government and the opposition — fundamentally disagree on the source of the current crisis and on how terrorism can be defeated permanently.The only way forward is to separate from the Palestinians for good, Herzog said during the opening of the Knesset’s winter session Monday. Netanyahu’s policy of clinging to the status quo will lead to a binational state, which would be “hell” for its Jewish minority, he charged.“You believe in managing the conflict. And I believe in an active, large and dramatic diplomatic action that must change the reality,” the opposition leader declared. Terror is a result of the frustration and hopelessness young Palestinians feel as a result of Netanyahu’s policies, he said. Give the Palestinians the prospect of independence and sovereignty and they will no longer feel the need to attack Israelis, he argued.Netanyahu, by contrast, doesn’t consider that terror is a direct reaction to Israeli policies. Rather, he believes that it stems from the Palestinian denial of the Jewish people’s right to sovereignty in the Holy Land, and that therefore the only remedy against terrorism is perseverance. The Palestinians’ refusal to recognize Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people “was and is the root of the conflict,” he said Monday.While the opposition argues that only the resumption — and eventual successful conclusion — of peace talks with the Palestinians will bring Israel long-lasting quiet, the government believes that if it fights terrorists effectively enough, the status quo can continue endlessly.Israel will “settle the score” with the terrorists and their helpers, Netanyahu told the Knesset between cabinet sessions Tuesday. “Not only will we revoke rights from them; we will exact the full price,” he vowed. “I am positive that the actions that we will take will lead the other side to the realization that terror doesn’t pay. Israel is strong and will remain here forever.”The US administration clearly sides with the opposition in this ideological debate. While condemning the attacks, Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday appeared to blame the Israeli government’s actions in the West Bank for the current violence. “There’s been a massive increase in settlements over the course of the last years,” Kerry said during an event at Harvard University, “and there’s an increase in the violence because there’s this frustration that’s growing.”Kerry vowed that the administration is “going to stay engaged” in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, echoing much of the international community’s mantra that only renewed peace talks and a final-status agreement can stop the violence.Netanyahu most emphatically does not view the failure to renew negotiations as the cause for the current violence. Indeed, many in his government believe that previous territorial concessions actually led to the current situation, and that if Israel were to evacuate more territory to make room for a Palestinian state, things would become even worse.“This vicious terrorism did not start today. It has accompanied the Zionist enterprise since its beginning,” the prime minister said during a press conference Thursday. “We have always known how to defeat the rioters and build up our country and so it will be now. The terrorists and the extremists behind them will achieve nothing. We will rebuff them and we will defeat them.”Worrying approval ratings-While many Israelis are generally sympathetic to Netanyahu’s views on the Palestinian question, they are unhappy with the way he’s tackled the current terror wave. Seventy-three percent of respondents to a survey published Saturday were either “dissatisfied” (35%) or “very dissatisfied” (38%) with Netanyahu’s leadership during the last few days of terror. Only 15% saw him as the Israeli politician best able to curb the attacks, behind his right-wing rivals Avigdor Liberman (22%) and Naftali Bennett (17%).Netanyahu would be wise to be worried. During last year’s conflict in the Gaza Strip, his approval rating deteriorated drastically as the 50-day war dragged on, but during its early stages he enjoyed broad public support.On July 23, 2014, shortly after Israel started sending ground troops into Gaza, 82% approved of the prime minister, according to a Channel 2 poll at the time. More than a month later, shortly before the war ended, his approval rating had plummeted to 38%. “The eternal people isn’t afraid of a long journey,” Israeli politicians like to say. But the Israeli public also wants wars and terror waves to end quickly.Netanyahu’s poor ratings do not imply that the alternative offered by Herzog and the opposition is popular. In Saturday’s poll, only 5% of respondents thought that Herzog was the Israeli leader best equipped to beat the current terror wave. In calling for negotiations and a final-status agreement, he might offer a long-term strategy for dealing with the Palestinian questions. But the public does not seem to trust him with putting an end to terror in the short term.Like us on Facebook

Arab states urge Abbas to restore calm; fewer at West Bank protests Monday-PA president says he is making efforts to reduce tensions, tells Indian president Israeli religious groups fanning flames-By Avi Issacharoff October 13, 2015, 8:44 am 30-the times of israel

Several Arab states, including Egypt and Saudi Arabia, urged Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas last week to work to calm tensions and prevent further escalation of violence in the West Bank and Jerusalem.The states are concerned that the violence could mark the start of a third intifada.The Arab governments expressed concern that a full-blown intifada would lead to a loss of control over the Palestinian street and lead to the empowerment of extremist groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad.According to Palestinian sources, Abbas’s office has been in contact with the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which sent a similar demand to work more aggressively against the escalating violence. Netanyahu adviser Yitzhak Molcho and the IDF’s liaison to the Palestinians Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai reportedly met last week with senior aides to Abbas and demanded that the PA leader stop speaking out about the Temple Mount. It is that rhetoric, Israel believes, which has driven the escalation.The Palestinian issue is slated to be taken up by Arab leaders at the next meeting of the Arab League.Toward the end of last week, Abbas discernibly changed his policy toward the violence, and is now attempting to calm the flames.“All the [Palestinian] Authority’s efforts are directed at restoring calm,” Abbas said on Monday, according to Channel 2.At a meeting with Indian President Pranab Mukherjee in Ramallah, ahead of Mukherjee’s three-day trip to Israel starting Tuesday, Abbas accused “religious organizations from the other side [i.e., Israel]” of raising tensions.On Sunday, Abbas met with leaders of the Tanzim, a Fatah paramilitary organization, and ordered them not to encourage or take part in violence against Israel, but rather to maintain a “popular struggle” — that is, a nonviolent one.Abbas’s office, meanwhile, transferred some NIS 16 million to Palestinian universities to prevent them from going on strike, a step that would have increased the number of demonstrators at West Bank protests. Many of the demonstrations throughout the West Bank were organized by student organizations.On Monday, the daily protests against Israeli security forces outside West Bank cities saw a marked drop in the number of participants. While the largest rally, at the northern entrance to Ramallah, had some 500 protesters, rallies elsewhere saw no more than a few dozen.Tuesday has been proclaimed as a “day of rage” in Israel and the Palestinian territories, with a central protest planned at the Qalandiya checkpoint. The day may bring a rise in Wrst Bank and Gaza protests, likely to be bolstered by the general strike called in the Israeli Arab community.While the popular demonstrations have dwindled, the phenomenon of daily stabbing attacks has shown no signs of abating.Neither the security services nor politicians have been able to dissuade the attackers, most of whom are teens and acting of their own volition and not as part of a larger terror organization.Proposals are being examined to improve the economic conditions in the West Bank, but few political or diplomatic efforts have been pushed forward as a way of easing the violence.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Terrorist stabs woman, 70, outside Jerusalem bus station-Attacker shot dead by police on site; victim moderately wounded; police end search for possible second suspect-By Ilan Ben Zion October 14, 2015, 7:32 pm 10-the times of israel

A Palestinian man stabbed an Israeli woman outside Jerusalem’s Central Bus Station Wednesday evening.The attacker was shot dead by security forces at the scene.The attack was the second of the day, after a Palestinian man attempted to stab police officers before being shot dead. Palestinian media identified him as Ahmed Fathi Abu Sha’aban, 26, of Ras al-Amoud, East Jerusalem. He was reportedly recently released from Israeli prison after serving three years on terror charges.Police said the attacker stabbed a woman, 70, on Jaffa Street and then attempted to board a city bus outside the station, which is in a busy commercial area.The victim suffered moderate injuries to her upper body and received medical treatment on site, paramedics said. She was taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center for treatment.“There was a woman in her 60s sitting next to the driver, bleeding but fully conscious, with stab wounds to her upper body. We gave her medical treatment and sent her to the hospital. She is in moderate to serious condition,” Dr. Yoni Elstein, who was on the bus where the attack occurred, told the Times of Israel.A few other people were treated for shock, Magen David Adom’s CEO told Channel 2.Sarah Blum, a French-Israeli, told the Times of Israel that she was walking down Jaffa Street after exiting the bus station when “the guy came at me when I was on the phone with my mom.”She said she saw him, just yards away, “with his hand pulling a knife from his side,” leaped off the sidewalk and yelled for help. He turned and fled, chased down the street by passersby.Israeli police were searching for a possible second suspect in the attack, but later ruled out the possibility of a second attacker.The attack was the latest in a spate of terror attacks that have rocked Jerusalem over the past weeks amid spiraling tensions.

Kerry to discuss Jerusalem terror wave with French FM-France wants to combat ‘escalation’ of violence, says ministry spokesman; US top envoy plans to visit Israel ‘soon’-By AFP, Raoul Wootliff and Times of Israel staff October 14, 2015, 6:28 pm 7-the times of israel

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius will discuss the recent wave of Palestinian terror attacks against Israelis with his US counterpart John Kerry on Wednesday, a French government spokesman said.“There is an escalation (of violence) that France wants to combat,” said spokesman Stephane Le Foll, adding that Kerry and Fabius would discuss the situation in Jerusalem later in the day.“The situation has strongly deteriorated and France will do all it can avoid an escalation,” he added.Kerry said on Tuesday that he plans to travel soon to the region to try to calm violence between Palestinians and Israelis and move the situation “away from this precipice.”“I will go there soon, at some point appropriately, and try to work to reengage and see if we can’t move away from this precipice,” Kerry said at an event sponsored by Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.The secretary of state also linked the round of violence to Israeli settlement building in the West Bank.“There’s been a massive increase in settlements over the course of the last years,” Kerry said during a question-and-answer session, “and there’s an increase in the violence because there’s this frustration that’s growing.” Kerry noted that there was also “a frustration among Israelis who don’t see any end.”Also on Tuesday, the White House’s press secretary said that the Obama administration strongly condemns Palestinian incitement and assaults against Israeli civilians and soldiers.Press secretary Josh Earnest said “the US condemns in the strongest possible terms the terrorist attacks, the recent terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians which resulted in the murder of three Israelis and left numerous others wounded.” He said the US stressed the “importance of condemning violence and combating incitement.”Earnest added that the administration was “deeply concerned” about the escalating violence and urged all sides to restore calm.Jerusalem has seen a series of stabbing attacks by Palestinian terrorists and protests by Palestinians, often deteriorating to violent riots. Three Israelis were killed on Tuesday when two terrorists shot and stabbed passengers on a bus and another rammed a car into pedestrians and then tried stabbing them with a butcher’s knife.France, home to the largest Jewish community outside of Israel and the US, has condemned the violence as “extremely worrying and dangerous.”  A large number of Jews from the country left over the past two years as radicalized citizens from the country’s Islamic population perpetrated a series of anti-Semitic attacks.

Kerry looking to convene Netanyahu, Abbas summit — report-US hoping to ease tensions amid escalating violence, said planning to tell Israel to curb settlements; Jerusalem indicates willingness for meet-By Times of Israel staff October 14, 2015, 10:06 pm 6

US Secretary of State John Kerry is reportedly pushing to convene a summit in Jordan with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in a bid to calm violence wracking Israel and the Palestinian territories in recent weeks.According to a Channel 10 report Wednesday, the Jordanians have apparently already agreed to host the gathering, in which Abbas and Netanyahu would each meet with the American diplomat separately. There was no indication of when the meeting would take place.The push by the American government came as violence between Israel and the Palestinians has spiked, with terrorist attacks, shootings and violent riots taking place daily in the past two weeks.The report said that Washington was considering demanding a halt in settlement construction by Israel.Sources close to Kerry claimed that he will tell Netanyahu that if he’s interested in renewing peace talks with the Palestinians — as he expressed in his UN General Assembly speech last month — that it would be a welcome move. Peace talks broke down in March 2014 amid mutual recriminations by Israeli and Palestinian officials over failure to abide by commitments to the negotiations.The Prime Minister’s Office wasn’t immediately available for comment. Sources in Jerusalem said they were unaware of the plan for the summit, but indicated a general willingness.A State Department spokesperson said that Kerry “has every intention of traveling to the Middle East soon” but gave no indication of dates and declined to address the report of a summit with Abbas and Netanyahu, a McClatchy reporter said.On Tuesday, Kerry linked the ongoing violence to settlement construction during a talk in Boston.“There’s been a massive increase in settlements over the course of the last years,” Kerry said during a question-and-answer session, “and there’s an increase in the violence because there’s this frustration that’s growing.”Abbas said Wednesday he favors “peaceful, popular resistance” against Israeli occupation, amid a two-week wave of violence that has killed more than 30 people on both sides, a toll that includes several Palestinian attackers.In a speech broadcast on official Palestinian television, his first since the outbreak of the violence, Abbas spoke of the Palestinian people’s “right to defend ourselves” and “pursue our national struggle.”He accused Israel of “executing” a 13-year old who earlier this week stabbed and critically wounded an Israeli boy in Jerusalem’s Pisgat Zeev, and said the Palestinians “will not agree to Israel’s policy of occupation.” Israel Police on Wednesday released video footage showing the stabbing attack.

Joint (Arab) List leader seeks to indict PM for ‘incitement’-Ayman Odeh says Benjamin Netanyahu ‘defamed’ Arab MKs by accusing them of supporting terrorism-By Adiv Sterman October 13, 2015, 6:13 pm 2-the times of israel

Joint (Arab) List Chairman MK Ayman Odeh on Tuesday demanded that Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on charges of “inciting racial hatred and defamation” against the Arab leadership in Israel.Odeh wrote to Weinstein that “rather than spread lies, the prime minister should have backed the Knesset members from the Joint (Arab) List who strongly condemn the Islamic State terrorist organization and who on every platform oppose bloodshed and the killing of innocent people,” according to the Hebrew-language Walla website.The Joint List chairman’s appeal came after Netanyahu on Monday launched a scathing verbal attack on Arab lawmakers and the Islamic Movement in Israel, accusing them of inciting the current bout of violence.Taking the podium in the Knesset, Netanyahu said that Palestinian terrorism “does not come from frustration over the lack of a diplomatic solution, but from a desire to destroy us.”“That was the motive for terrorism in the early years of Zionism and that’s what it is today,” he said. The prime minister also accused Israeli Arab leaders of having a “trail of [Islamic State] flags behind them.”Netanyahu exhorted the country’s Arab minority to cleave to the path of coexistence, and “to repel the radicals among you.”“I beseech you, choose the right path, the path of coexistence,” he added.Palestinian groups and Arab Israelis in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and northern Israel have declared Tuesday a “Day of Rage,” urging mass demonstrations against the Israeli government and its policies, amid a series of daily terrorist attacks carried out against Israeli civilians across the region. At the same time, leading Arab politicians called on municipalities and local authorities to participate in a general strike Tuesday to protest changes it accuses Israel of planning to make to the status quo on the Temple Mount, home to the al-Aqsa Mosque — considered to be one of Islam’s holiest sites and the holiest site in Judaism.The Israeli government has repeatedly denied that it intends to make any such changes. Jews are currently allowed to visit the Temple Mount but not to pray there.The security cabinet convened Tuesday at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem to discuss new security measures after a series of terror attacks left three people dead and several more injured earlier that morning in a major escalation of ongoing violence.Netanyahu was scheduled to attend a commemoration event at Mount Herzl in honor of the late right-wing minister Rehavam Zeevi, who was assassinated by Palestinian terrorists in 2001, but pulled out of the event in light of the security situation.Earlier Tuesday, speaking shortly after a pair of terrorists opened fire and hacked at passengers on a bus, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat demanded a complete closure on the West Bank and East Jerusalem Arab neighborhoods, saying harsher measures were needed to battle a terror wave that has rocked the capital over the last month. Two male passengers were killed in the incident — a 60-year-old who died at the scene, and a 45-year-old who died later in hospital — and three others suffered gunshot wounds in a combined shooting and stabbing attack on Egged bus 78 in the neighborhood of Armon Hanatziv in southern Jerusalem.In a separate attack at the same time, a man ran his car into a bus stop in central Jerusalem and then attacked pedestrians, killing one and injuring another.The twin attacks, which took place on a morning when two East Jerusalem men also knifed pedestrians in the central Israeli town of Ra’anana, marked an intensification of the ongoing terror wave, which until now has been mostly dominated by smaller stabbing attacks.Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan was also holding meetings Tuesday with security officials that will discuss closing off East Jerusalem neighborhoods and making it easier for Israeli citizens to obtain gun licenses.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

A number of American presidential hopefuls are expected to visit Israel next month for a conference on foreign and defense policy.Organizers say that several candidates have already confirmed their participation, while others are currently considering coming to Israel in person or participating via videoconference, but refused to provide any specifics.The First Presidential Candidates’ Forum Abroad, to be held in Jerusalem on November 3-4, will focus on “economic, foreign, defense and cultural policy,” according to a press release.All candidates from both sides of the aisle have been invited, but since the event is organized by politically conservative groups it is expected that mostly Republicans will appear.The conference aims to provide the presidential candidates with an international platform to discuss the future of US foreign policy, US-Israel relations, threats to religious freedom and the “common civilization” based on the rule of law and economic freedom, according to organizers.“US presidential candidates will have an historic first opportunity to communicate their views on issues facing this region of the world directly to concerned American citizens visiting the state of Israel and to friends of the US in Israel,” they said in a press release.Participating candidates will also be asked to address the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe and the US, the plight of Christians and the Middle East, organizers said.“During the 20th century, America’s strategic leadership in foreign, security and trade policy affirmed our common civilization based on the rule of law — protecting life, liberty and private property. At the Jerusalem Leaders Summit’s forum featuring US presidential candidates, America’s next president will be able to address the challenges, threats and opportunities of the 21st century,” said Joel Anand Samy, co-founder and president of the International Leaders Summit, a think tank co-hosting the event.“Presidents must be fully versed on foreign policy and understanding the Middle East and how to manage our strategic alliance with Israel is an imperative for the United States,” said Jerry Johnson, the president of National Religious Broadcasters, which also is co-hosting the summit. “This is a tremendous opportunity for presidential candidates to showcase their foreign policy credentials.”Israel is a common stop on the campaign trail for many presidential candidates. Barack Obama came before he was elected in 2008, and his 2012 Republican rival Mitt Romney visited ahead of the election. In the current race, which is still in its early days, only former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee has been to Israel.The US presidential elections are to take place on Tuesday, November 8, 2016.

Iran shows off underground base with long-range missiles-Revolutionary Guards say secret facility is just ‘tip of the iceberg’, comes days after Tehran test-fires new rocket-By AP and Times of Israel staff October 14, 2015, 7:07 pm 1

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s Revolutionary Guard opened the doors of a secret underground missile base to state TV Wednesday, showing off medium- and long-range missiles.The station aired footage of long tunnels with ready-to-fire missiles on the back of trucks. The broadcast said the facility is one of hundreds of underground missile bases around the country. It didn’t disclose the location but said it was 500 meters (1,600 feet) underground.Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Guard’s aerospace branch, boasted that the facility is the “tip of the iceberg” of the Guard’s military might.The broadcast appeared aimed at showing that the Guard will continue its missile program despite UN Security Council resolutions and despite Iran’s nuclear deal with the West. Days earlier, Iran said it successfully test-fired a new long-range surface-to- surface missile.On Monday, a US official said Iran over the weekend “likely” violated a UN Security Council resolution which prohibits the Islamic Republic from carrying out any military activity related to the use of ballistic missiles.Based on information gathered by the White House so far, the Iranian regime appeared to have violated the international body’s Resolution 1929 when it recently conducted testing on a new, long-range, surface-to-surface ballistic missile, the official told US news outlet CNN.Nevertheless, the US believes the Islamic Republic’s illegal activity does not breach the terms of a nuclear accord between Iran, the US and five other major world powers.The official indicated that the July agreement did not place restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities, as it was aimed at blocking the regime from acquiring nuclear weapons.On Sunday, Iran said it had successfully tested a new domestically produced long-range missile, claiming the weapon was the first of its kind that could be guided all the way to targets.
