Jerusalem bus blown up in terror attack, injuring at least 21-Police confirm bomb was on bus that went up in flames in Talpiot neighborhood, but unclear who was behind explosion; Hamas praises blast but does not take responsibility-By Times of Israel staff April 18, 2016, 6:18 pm
A bomb exploded on a bus in Jerusalem Monday afternoon, injuring over 20 people as it and other vehicles were engulfed in flames, and ratcheting up tensions in a city just recovering from a months-long wave of violence.Police and rescue officials confirmed 21 people were injured, two of them seriously, when the number 12 city bus exploded on Moshe Baram Street in the Talpiot neighborhood of the capital at about 5:45 p.m., setting the bus on fire.A second intercity bus nearby and a car were also burned in the blast.Jerusalem police chief Yoram Halevy said Monday evening the blast was caused by an explosive device placed on the bus, putting an end to two hours of speculation over whether the blast was terror related or a technical malfunction.“When a bomb explodes on a bus, it is a terror attack,” Halevy said, adding it was unclear if the bomber had been on the bus at the time of the blast.Police were investigating whether one of the people seriously injured in the explosion was in fact the terrorist responsible. However, the identity of the burned victim has not yet been confirmed, a spokesperson said.Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat said the blast was caused by a small explosive device that had been placed in the back of the bus. He urged people to remain calm and allow the police to complete their investigation.The terror attack broke weeks of relative calm in the city after a six-month wave of Palestinian stabbings, shootings and vehicular attacks seemed to be subsiding, and raised fears of a return to a type of violence not seen in Jerusalem for years. The second intifada terror wave between 2000 and 2005 saw Jerusalem frequently targeted by suicide bombers on buses and in restaurants.There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast by any terrorist groups or individuals, though the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups both praised the bombing in statements.“Hamas blesses the Jerusalem operation, and considers it a natural reaction to Israeli crimes, especially field executions and the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque,” the terror group said.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking Monday night, said Israel would “settle the score” with those responsible for the bombing.Jerusalem police spokesperson Assi Aharoni said the police were hunting for suspects, and urged the public to remain alert.Aharoni said the police had not found ball bearings and other chunks of metal often used in the past by terrorists carrying out bus bombings, but stressed that this was not a definitive factor in establishing what had happened.Avi Rivkind, a trauma surgeon at Hadassah Hospital, by contrast, told Army Radio the injuries were consistent with previous terror attacks, including the use of metal pieces in an apparent bomb.The bombing occurred during rush hour as the bus traversed a wide avenue between Talpiot and the Arab neighborhood of Beit Safafa, near the seam between Jerusalem’s eastern and western sides, packed with cars and buses.“There was an explosion, an explosion in the back half of the bus. There are a ton of injured people bleeding here,” a woman told the Magen David Adom rescue services in an emergency call immediately after the attack.“How many people are injured?” a call center operator asked.“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight — I don’t know, there’s gotta be 20 people here. At least,” the woman answered.Sixteen people were rushed to hospitals in the area after the blast, Magen David Adom said. Police later put the number of injured at 21.Two people were seriously injured, including one in critical condition, and six were moderately injured, police and paramedics said.Pictures from the scene showed a city bus engulfed in flames and a second intercity bus nearby also on fire.A plume of smoke could be seen for miles around the capital.The explosion came hours after Israel revealed it had uncovered and “neutralized” a tunnel dug from Gaza into Israel, apparently by the Hamas terror group.Israeli officials had noted in recent weeks a drop in the number of attacks by Palestinian assailants in Jerusalem, the West Bank and elsewhere following six months of near-daily attacks.The violence, which mostly consisted of stabbings, left 29 Israelis and four others dead, and nearly 200 Palestinians were also killed. Israel said some two-thirds of those killed were attackers and the rest died during clashes with troops.Bombings on buses and in public places were a hallmark of the Second Intifada from 2000 to 2005, but subsided over the last decade, which Israeli officials attributed to increased security measures, including the West Bank security barrier, and better intelligence.Unlike the Second Intifada, which was directed by large terror groups, the recent wave of violence was characterized by so-called lone-wolf attacks, which were unorganized and usually involved easy-to-obtain weapons, making bombings unlikely.Halevy said police were not caught off-guard by the explosion, but did not elaborate. Other Israeli security services were similarly tight-lipped about any intelligence that may have indicated the possibility of an attack of this sort.
Germany, Arabs reject Netanyahu vow to hold onto Golan-Berlin stops short of calling for Israel to return territory; Arab League calls Israeli sovereignty on plateau ‘brazen violation of international law’-By Agencies April 18, 2016, 10:30 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Germany said Monday a unilateral decision by Israel to keep the Golan Heights would breach international law while the Arab League denounced as an “escalation” comments by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who vowed the strategic plateau will “forever” remain in Israeli hands.A German Foreign Ministry spokesman responded to a question about comments by Netanyahu, who said at the beginning of the week that Israel will never withdraw from the plateau bordering Syria.German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer said that “it’s a basic principle of international law and the UN charter that no state can claim the right to annex another state’s territory just like that.”Israel captured the Golan from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and effectively annexed it in 1981. The move was unanimously rejected the same year by the UN Security Council.Schaefer said Germany isn’t currently demanding the immediate return of the territory due to the security situation in Syria.On Sunday, Netanyahu held the first-ever cabinet meeting on the Golan, declaring that the area will always be part of Israel.“Israel will never withdraw from the Golan Heights,” he declared, pointing to the historical Jewish connection to the ridge.The comments came amid reports that Netanyahu had called US Secretary of State John Kerry to complain about text declaring the Golan as part of Syria to be included as part of a peace deal being drafted to end the Syrian civil war.Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi, the secretary general of the pan-Arab bloc headquartered in Cairo, said Monday Netanyahu’s statement “was a new escalation that represents a brazen violation of international law.”The international community never accepted Israel’s annexation, and Israeli leaders see in the turmoil in Syria a chance to convince the world to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan. In November, Netanyahu reportedly asked US President Barack Obama to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the area, given the civil war. Obama refused to even reply, according to Israeli media accounts.Deputy Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad warned that his war-torn state would retake the plateau by any means necessary.Mekdad declared that the “Arab Syrian Golan Heights” is still occupied territory according to international law and would eventually be taken back from the Israelis.Raphael Ahren contributed to this report.
Defense head: Backing Hebron shooter like supporting Islamic State-‘We aren’t Daesh,’ says Moshe Ya’alon, coming out against planned Tel Aviv rally in support of soldier who killed wounded stabber-By Stuart Winer and Times of Israel staff April 18, 2016, 9:33 pm
Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon on Monday spoke out against a planned rally in support of an IDF soldier charged with killing a wounded and disarmed Palestinian attacker in Hebron, comparing ralliers to partisans of the Islamic State terror group.Israel Defense Forces soldier Elor Azaria was indicted Monday in a military court for manslaughter in the fatal shooting of wounded Palestinian Abdul Fatah al-Sharif in the West Bank city of Hebron last month.The rally planned for Tuesday evening in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square is expected to attract a large crowd, including a number of pop singers and politicians who have accused the army of abandoning the soldier by jailing and charging him.“It really worries me. Part of the power [of the IDF], as many have described it — [David] Ben-Gurion, Menachem Begin and others — is our ethical strength. We aren’t Daesh,” Ya’alon said about the rally, using an acronym for the Islamic State group that has produced shocking videos of its members executing prisoners.“When there is a need to kill, you kill. When we need to be resolute, we are resolute. But when someone has his hands up, or is already neutralized, that’s when you arrest,” he continued. “Whoever supports these kinds of acts [the soldier’s] is damaging the values of the Israel Defense Forces.”Ya’alon made his comments during a tour of the communities surrounding the southern Gaza Strip, where earlier in the day the IDF revealed a Hamas attack tunnel had been discovered and destroyed.Ya’alon and a number of other military officials have defended the army’s decision to prosecute Azaria, saying the killing, caught on video, is inconsistent with the army’s values.“At times like these, when the public discourse is more complicated than ever, a commander’s voice needs to be sharp, clear and be the compass that leads the soldiers of the IDF,” army chief Gadi Eisenkot said at an event Monday afternoon.Earlier in the day, pop singers David D’or and Eyal Golan pulled out of participation in the Rabin Square rally for Azaria, after coming under public pressure over the highly politicized nature of the controversial event. Other singers are still scheduled to perform.The announcement of Tuesday’s rally drew ire from several lawmakers, with some of them questioning the damage it may cause to the IDF.Legal proceedings against the soldier have caused a major political storm in Israel, with some right-wing politicians and the soldier’s family claiming he is being “lynched” by the media.Meanwhile, thousands have demonstrated on his behalf at a number of rallies around the country demanding his release from IDF custody.Azaria’s name had been kept under gag order until late Monday afternoon, when a court gave the okay to publish his identity after a request from the soldier’s lawyers.Azaria, 19, was filmed shooting 21-year-old Sharif in the head on March 24, minutes after Sharif and another assailant stabbed and moderately wounded a soldier in Tel Rumeida, an Israeli enclave of the West Bank city of Hebron. The two assailants were shot — one was killed, while Sharif was wounded — by an army officer during the course of their attack.The soldier maintains that he believed Sharif might have been wearing a suicide vest and that he shot him out of fear he might activate the bomb.Military prosecutors have reportedly said the soldier’s behavior at the scene did not indicate any such concern, and noted comments he reportedly made that the stabber should be killed.
Netanyahu lauds world first in being able to detect tunnels-After Gaza passage uncovered, prime minister says Israel has invested a ‘fortune’ in defeating Palestinian efforts to dig under border-By Raphael Ahren April 18, 2016, 5:34 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday hailed the IDF for what he called a breakthrough in tunnel detection, hours after the army announced it had located a tunnel meant for attacking Israel reaching from the southern part of the Strip into Israeli territory.Netanyahu said Israel’s tunnel-finding system was the only one of its kind in the world, though he gave no details on the technology that led to Israeli troops uncovering the passage.“In recent days, the State of Israel has achieved a world breakthrough in its efforts to locate tunnels,” he said. “That doesn’t exist anywhere else. We checked the entire world.”Earlier in the day, Israeli officials revealed the army had found a concrete-lined tunnel stretching hundreds of meters from Gaza into Israel, reminiscent of dozens of tunnels destroyed by the army during a 50-day war with Hamas-led fighters in 2014 launched in part to thwart the underground passages.Speaking to reporters in his Jerusalem office, Netanyahu warned Hamas against trying to harm Israeli citizens and vowed that Jerusalem will continue to invest heavily in mechanisms to detect tunnels dug from Gaza into Israel.“The government is investing a fortune in thwarting the threat of tunnels. This is an ongoing effort; it does not end overnight; we are investing in it and will continue to invest steadily and firmly,” he said.“Israel will respond forcefully to any attempt by Hamas to attack its soldiers and attack its citizens,” Netanyahu declared. “I’m sure that Hamas understands this very well.”The tunnel was detected about a week and a half ago and has since been “neutralized,” an army spokesperson said Monday, but would not elaborate on whether it was destroyed or merely sealed off.Its exact location is still being under wraps by the military censor, though it does not appear that the tunnel led directly into Holit or Sufa, the Israeli communities closest to the southern Gaza Strip.Israeli residents near Gaza had complained of hearing digging under their homes in recent months, setting off searches for the tunnels, and Netanyahu and other officials said Israel was working on a secret “solution” to the issue.Netanyahu said Monday the IDF was acting “around the clock” to ensure their security and their ability to live a life without rocket threats, another offensive weapon employed by Hamas and other Gazan terror groups in recent years.-‘IDF not pulling out of Area A’-Netanyahu drew a direct line between the tunnels in Gaza and the quashing of the possibility that Israel would withdraw its army from the West Bank.“Why are there no tunnels in Judea and Samaria [biblical names for the West Bank], in Qalqilya and Tulkarem? It’s not because it’s difficult to dig tunnels there, but because we’re there,” he said, referring to the fact that IDF troops occasionally conduct raids even in West Bank areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority. “And that is one of our considerations when we say that in every agreement, or even without an agreement,” that Israeli troops would have to reserve full freedom of action in the West Bank.The IDF has no interest in entering Palestinian areas with large forces, “but our principle is and will always remain to maintain the right to act according to necessity,” Netanyahu said. “Under no circumstances will we give up on our right to enter any place west of the Jordan River,” if the operational reality requires such incursions, he added.Israel is reportedly in negotiations with the Palestinian Authority over decreasing its troop activity in Area A of the West Bank, which is under Palestinian civilian and security control under the Oslo Accords.Security cooperation with the PA is ongoing, and in the West Bank Jerusalem in principle favors the notion of the “PA doing more and us doing less,” Netanyahu said, without elaborating.During the briefing, the prime minister also discussed several other issues on his agenda, such as the ongoing negotiations with the United States over a memorandum of understand regulating military assistance to Israel. Netanyahu said he sincerely hoped to conclude the talks with the current administration but noted that some significant gaps were still open. “I hope we can conclude the negotiations soon,” he said, refusing to provide further details.Regarding the IDF soldier who killed a wounded and disarmed Palestinian assailant in Hebron, who was named Monday as Elor Azaria, the prime minister said that he proposed waiting for the end of his military trial before further commenting on the matter. “The ongoing talk over this is not helpful,” he said.Netanyahu also refused to say anything about the late right-wing minister Rehavam Ze’evi, saying that he would issue a statement on the accusations leveled against him in a recent television program. On Thursday, the investigative show “Uvda” alleged he was a rapist and had contacts with the underworld.Though hailing what he called Israel’s expanding diplomatic ties with the international community, the prime minister acknowledged that Jerusalem was still on the receiving end of much harsh criticism, especially by international organs such as the United Nations. “It will take time for that to change, until the foreign ministries of these countries [with which Israel has intensified diplomatic contacts, such as Russia, India and so on] change their voting patterns at international organizations. I ordered our Foreign Ministry to demand this change. And it will come.”Judah Ari Gross contributed to this report.
Swedish minister who likened Israel to Nazi Germany quits-Turkish-born Mehmet Kaplan in 2008 asserted ‘similarities’ between persecution of Jews in Holocaust and treatment of Palestinians-By AFP April 18, 2016, 5:38 pm-the times of israel
A Swedish cabinet minister of Turkish origin who compared Israel to Nazi Germany and was photographed with Turkish ultra-nationalists resigned on Monday, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven announced.“Mehmet Kaplan has submitted his resignation and I have accepted it,” Lofven told reporters, nonetheless praising the outgoing housing minister’s “humanistic and democratic values.”Kaplan, a member of the junior coalition partner Green Party, told reporters he was opposed to “all forms of extremism” and stressed his dedication to “human rights, democracy and dialogue.”The 44-year-old had been in hot water since the weekend when media published old video footage of him making controversial remarks about Israel’s politics toward Palestinians.During a March 2009 debate on Islamophobia organized by a Somali organization, Kaplan, who was a member of parliament at the time, said there were “similarities” between the persecution of Jews by Nazi Germany during the 1930s and the everyday lives of Palestinians.Israel’s ambassador to Sweden, Isaac Bachman, branded the remarks as “deeply anti-Semitic.”“I have on several occasions criticized the actions of the state of Israel severely, but I am clearly not anti-Semitic… My criticism of Israel does not make me less critical of the anti-Semitism that exists in Sweden,” Kaplan wrote in a comment published on the website of daily Expressen after his resignation was announced.Last week, media had published photos of Kaplan attending a July 2015 dinner in Sweden with Turkish ultra-nationalists, which sparked strong reactions from the opposition, media, and the public.Among those attending the dinner was Ilhan Senturk, the Swedish head of the ultra-national “Grey Wolves” organization known for political violence in the 1970s and 1980s.Also present was Barbaros Leyani, the former vice-president of the Turkish National Association of Sweden who was forced to resign after calling for the murder of “Armenian dogs” during a demonstration in Stockholm in April.Leaked photo of Swedish minister @MehmetKaplan next to Grey Wolves members & man who called for death of Armenians. pic.twitter.com/H3wg1BSyET-— Dr Partizan (@DrPartizan_) April 14, 2016-Kaplan, who was born in Turkey and moved to Sweden when he was eight, also came under fire from media and political opponents for his ties to Islamic organizations, especially Milli Gorus which is suspected of promoting religious fundamentalism.He acknowledged those ties, but “that doesn’t mean I agree with them on everything,” he told Swedish television.Opposition leader Anna Kinberg Batra of the conservative Moderates criticized Prime Minister Lofven, a Social Democrat, for “being passive and slow” to react to the controversy.

3 charged with funding Temple Mount unrest-Police uncover East Jerusalem network that allegedly paid banned provocateurs to harass Jewish visitors to holy site-By Stuart Winer and Judah Ari Gross April 18, 2016, 9:22 pm-the times of israel
Police revealed Monday that indictments were filed against members of a network that funded disruptive activities on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem aimed at discouraging Jewish visitors to the holy site through provocations and agitation.The activities of the network were uncovered by a joint Israel Police and Shin Bet general security services operation, police said in a statement.Indictments were filed against Muhammad Jabarin, a resident of the northern city of Umm al-Fahm, and Najeeb Qawasmeh Jada and Khalil Abasi, residents of the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, for property transactions for the purpose of terror and membership in a prohibited organization.Police withheld further information regarding the charges against the suspects.The Jerusalem District Prosecutor asked that the suspects remain in custody.During the course of the investigation, police said, prima facie evidence was compiled about a network making payments to male and female activists of the so-called Murabitat groups, which have been banned from the Temple Mount during Jewish visitors’ hours.In addition to questioning the key suspects, police acted against dozens of Murabitan activists in an investigation which is still ongoing, police said.The single-sex Murabitan [for men] or Murabitut [for women] groups are known for opposing Jewish presence on the Temple Mount by shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great”) at visitors, and sometimes resorting to physical assaults. The Prime Minister’s Office has described them as a “salaried group of activists aimed at initiating provocations on the Temple Mount.”Guidance and funding for the group was in the past provided largely by the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement, which was banned in November last year. At the time the Prime Minister’s Office called the organization “a sister movement of the terrorist organization Hamas” and said the two movements maintained close, clandestine ties.In early September, the Murabitat (plural of “Murabit” — a defender of Islam) were banned from the mount during morning hours in which Jews visit, on the orders of Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan. Since then, their members have mostly waited outside the gates of the compound, confronting Jews upon their exit.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Jordan cancels plan for security cameras on Temple Mount-PM says kingdom will halt program, aimed at preventing violent clashes at holy site, because of Palestinian opposition-By AP and Times of Israel staff April 18, 2016, 8:01 pm
Jordan’s prime minister on Monday said his government had decided to call off a plan to install surveillance cameras at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site, derailing a US-brokered pact to ease tensions at the volatile hilltop compound.Abdullah Ensour told the state-run Petra News Agency that Jordan was calling off the plan due to Palestinian concerns.“We were surprised since we announced our intention to carry out the project by the reactions of some of our brothers in Palestine who were skeptical about the project,” he said. “We have found that this project is no longer enjoying a consensus, and it might be controversial. Therefore we have decided to stop implementing it.”The decision came just days before the Jewish holiday of Passover — a time of increased activity at the site. The Temple Mount is revered by Jews as the site of the biblical Temples, and by Muslims, who call it the Noble Sanctuary. It has been a frequent scene of violence in the past.In a deal brokered by US Secretary of State John Kerry, Jordan offered to install the cameras last fall after clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli security forces.The Palestinians had accused Israel of secretly plotting to take over the site — a charge Israel strongly denies — while Israel pointed to videos showing Palestinian protesters using the mosque as cover while throwing stones and firecrackers at police. The idea was that transparency by both sides would help ease tensions.But the plan quickly ran into trouble, with the Palestinians objecting to Israeli demands to place cameras inside the mosque. The Palestinians also said that Israel would use the cameras to spy on them.Israel wants cameras installed everywhere in the compound, including in the mosques, to document the alleged hoarding of stones and weaponry by Palestinians in preparation for clashes with Israeli security forces. Jordan, the custodian of the shrine, only wanted cameras in open areas to show alleged violations by Israeli security forces.Palestinians earlier this month placed notices in the Jerusalem compound warning of plans to smash any security cameras installed at the site.The Jordanian decision could deal an embarrassing blow to Kerry, who had hailed the deal at the time it was announced last October and pushed behind the scenes in recent months for the sides to wrap it up.There was no immediate reaction from the US, Israel or the Palestinians.Clashes between Palestinian youths and Israeli security forces erupted at the compound in September, preceding a wave of Palestinian terrorism and violence, including stabbing, shooting and vehicular ramming attacks that have killed 29 Israelis, two Americans, an Eritrean and a Sudanese since October 1. Some 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli security forces in this period, most of them while carrying out attacks, according to Israeli officials.Israel captured the Temple Mount, site of the biblical Temples, from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War and later annexed the area, but it left Jordanian religious authorities in charge of the Muslim holy sites there. While Israel controls access to the holy site, Jews are barred from praying there.Israel and Jordan have close but quiet relations in other areas, such as security coordination against Islamic extremists. Israeli and Jordanian officials have shied away from commenting about the cameras on the record, presumably not wanting to upset the delicate ties between the countries.
Israeli, Palestinian envoys turn UN meet into shouting match-Danon and Mansour trade barbs at Security Council over Israeli occupation, Palestinian refusal to condemn terrorism-By AFP and Times of Israel staff April 18, 2016, 10:10 pm
A UN Security Council debate turned into a shouting match on Monday between the Israeli and Palestinian ambassadors, who exchanged cries of “Shame on you!” over ongoing violence.Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon broke away from his address to the council and demanded that the Palestinian representative condemn acts of terrorism.“Shame on you for glorifying terrorism!” Danon said.“Shame on you for killing Palestinian children!” After being called to order by the council president, Danon once again turned to Mansour and hammered: “You cannot say it here. Palestinian children are looking at you right now.“‘I condemn all acts of terrorism’: one sentence you cannot say. Shame on you for that,” he pressed on.“Let my people be free! Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you! You are an occupier,” Mansour again retorted.Before the ruckus, Renana Meir, whose mother, Dafna, was stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist in January, addressed the council on behalf of the Israeli mission.“It is difficult to express in words the deep pain and unbearable longing. This sense of loss breaks our heart and our soul,” she said. “With broken hearts we ask the international community for help. We hear those who say that terror is a result of frustration, and we ask — is there anything more frustrating than what we have endured?”Dafna Meir, 38, was killed on January 17 when a Palestinian teen broke into her house in Otniel and stabbed her to death in front of her children. Seventeen-year-old Renana helped her mother fight off the terrorist, who fled after fatally wounding Dafna.Twenty-nine Israelis and four foreign nationals have been killed in a wave of Palestinian terrorism and violence since October. Over 170 Palestinians have also been killed, some two-thirds of them while attacking Israelis, and the rest during clashes with troops, according to the Israeli army.The council debate took place as the Palestinians pushed for a UN resolution demanding that Israel halt the construction of settlements in the Palestinian territories.The draft resolution is being negotiated with Arab countries and has yet to be formally circulated to the council, but the United States — which vetoed a similar resolution in 2011 — has said it “will consider all options” over the Israeli-Palestinian effort.UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in an address that Israeli demolitions of Palestinian buildings in the West Bank were continuing at “an alarming rate,” reasserting that settlements are illegal.The United Nations has voted in support of a two-state solution in the Middle East, with Israel and Palestine both recognized countries, and the expansion of Israeli settlements is seen as undermining that plan.“Tragically, this solution seems more distant than it has for many decades,” Ban said.

Jerusalem bus blown up in terror attack, injuring at least 21-Police confirm bomb was on bus that went up in flames in Talpiot neighborhood, but unclear who was behind explosion; Hamas praises blast but does not take responsibility-By Times of Israel staff April 18, 2016, 6:18 pm
A bomb exploded on a bus in Jerusalem Monday afternoon, injuring over 20 people as it and other vehicles were engulfed in flames, and ratcheting up tensions in a city just recovering from a months-long wave of violence.Police and rescue officials confirmed 21 people were injured, two of them seriously, when the number 12 city bus exploded on Moshe Baram Street in the Talpiot neighborhood of the capital at about 5:45 p.m., setting the bus on fire.A second intercity bus nearby and a car were also burned in the blast.Jerusalem police chief Yoram Halevy said Monday evening the blast was caused by an explosive device placed on the bus, putting an end to two hours of speculation over whether the blast was terror related or a technical malfunction.“When a bomb explodes on a bus, it is a terror attack,” Halevy said, adding it was unclear if the bomber had been on the bus at the time of the blast.Police were investigating whether one of the people seriously injured in the explosion was in fact the terrorist responsible. However, the identity of the burned victim has not yet been confirmed, a spokesperson said.Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat said the blast was caused by a small explosive device that had been placed in the back of the bus. He urged people to remain calm and allow the police to complete their investigation.The terror attack broke weeks of relative calm in the city after a six-month wave of Palestinian stabbings, shootings and vehicular attacks seemed to be subsiding, and raised fears of a return to a type of violence not seen in Jerusalem for years. The second intifada terror wave between 2000 and 2005 saw Jerusalem frequently targeted by suicide bombers on buses and in restaurants.There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast by any terrorist groups or individuals, though the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups both praised the bombing in statements.“Hamas blesses the Jerusalem operation, and considers it a natural reaction to Israeli crimes, especially field executions and the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque,” the terror group said.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking Monday night, said Israel would “settle the score” with those responsible for the bombing.Jerusalem police spokesperson Assi Aharoni said the police were hunting for suspects, and urged the public to remain alert.Aharoni said the police had not found ball bearings and other chunks of metal often used in the past by terrorists carrying out bus bombings, but stressed that this was not a definitive factor in establishing what had happened.Avi Rivkind, a trauma surgeon at Hadassah Hospital, by contrast, told Army Radio the injuries were consistent with previous terror attacks, including the use of metal pieces in an apparent bomb.The bombing occurred during rush hour as the bus traversed a wide avenue between Talpiot and the Arab neighborhood of Beit Safafa, near the seam between Jerusalem’s eastern and western sides, packed with cars and buses.“There was an explosion, an explosion in the back half of the bus. There are a ton of injured people bleeding here,” a woman told the Magen David Adom rescue services in an emergency call immediately after the attack.“How many people are injured?” a call center operator asked.“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight — I don’t know, there’s gotta be 20 people here. At least,” the woman answered.Sixteen people were rushed to hospitals in the area after the blast, Magen David Adom said. Police later put the number of injured at 21.Two people were seriously injured, including one in critical condition, and six were moderately injured, police and paramedics said.Pictures from the scene showed a city bus engulfed in flames and a second intercity bus nearby also on fire.A plume of smoke could be seen for miles around the capital.The explosion came hours after Israel revealed it had uncovered and “neutralized” a tunnel dug from Gaza into Israel, apparently by the Hamas terror group.Israeli officials had noted in recent weeks a drop in the number of attacks by Palestinian assailants in Jerusalem, the West Bank and elsewhere following six months of near-daily attacks.The violence, which mostly consisted of stabbings, left 29 Israelis and four others dead, and nearly 200 Palestinians were also killed. Israel said some two-thirds of those killed were attackers and the rest died during clashes with troops.Bombings on buses and in public places were a hallmark of the Second Intifada from 2000 to 2005, but subsided over the last decade, which Israeli officials attributed to increased security measures, including the West Bank security barrier, and better intelligence.Unlike the Second Intifada, which was directed by large terror groups, the recent wave of violence was characterized by so-called lone-wolf attacks, which were unorganized and usually involved easy-to-obtain weapons, making bombings unlikely.Halevy said police were not caught off-guard by the explosion, but did not elaborate. Other Israeli security services were similarly tight-lipped about any intelligence that may have indicated the possibility of an attack of this sort.
Germany, Arabs reject Netanyahu vow to hold onto Golan-Berlin stops short of calling for Israel to return territory; Arab League calls Israeli sovereignty on plateau ‘brazen violation of international law’-By Agencies April 18, 2016, 10:30 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Germany said Monday a unilateral decision by Israel to keep the Golan Heights would breach international law while the Arab League denounced as an “escalation” comments by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who vowed the strategic plateau will “forever” remain in Israeli hands.A German Foreign Ministry spokesman responded to a question about comments by Netanyahu, who said at the beginning of the week that Israel will never withdraw from the plateau bordering Syria.German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer said that “it’s a basic principle of international law and the UN charter that no state can claim the right to annex another state’s territory just like that.”Israel captured the Golan from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and effectively annexed it in 1981. The move was unanimously rejected the same year by the UN Security Council.Schaefer said Germany isn’t currently demanding the immediate return of the territory due to the security situation in Syria.On Sunday, Netanyahu held the first-ever cabinet meeting on the Golan, declaring that the area will always be part of Israel.“Israel will never withdraw from the Golan Heights,” he declared, pointing to the historical Jewish connection to the ridge.The comments came amid reports that Netanyahu had called US Secretary of State John Kerry to complain about text declaring the Golan as part of Syria to be included as part of a peace deal being drafted to end the Syrian civil war.Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi, the secretary general of the pan-Arab bloc headquartered in Cairo, said Monday Netanyahu’s statement “was a new escalation that represents a brazen violation of international law.”The international community never accepted Israel’s annexation, and Israeli leaders see in the turmoil in Syria a chance to convince the world to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan. In November, Netanyahu reportedly asked US President Barack Obama to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the area, given the civil war. Obama refused to even reply, according to Israeli media accounts.Deputy Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad warned that his war-torn state would retake the plateau by any means necessary.Mekdad declared that the “Arab Syrian Golan Heights” is still occupied territory according to international law and would eventually be taken back from the Israelis.Raphael Ahren contributed to this report.
Defense head: Backing Hebron shooter like supporting Islamic State-‘We aren’t Daesh,’ says Moshe Ya’alon, coming out against planned Tel Aviv rally in support of soldier who killed wounded stabber-By Stuart Winer and Times of Israel staff April 18, 2016, 9:33 pm
Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon on Monday spoke out against a planned rally in support of an IDF soldier charged with killing a wounded and disarmed Palestinian attacker in Hebron, comparing ralliers to partisans of the Islamic State terror group.Israel Defense Forces soldier Elor Azaria was indicted Monday in a military court for manslaughter in the fatal shooting of wounded Palestinian Abdul Fatah al-Sharif in the West Bank city of Hebron last month.The rally planned for Tuesday evening in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square is expected to attract a large crowd, including a number of pop singers and politicians who have accused the army of abandoning the soldier by jailing and charging him.“It really worries me. Part of the power [of the IDF], as many have described it — [David] Ben-Gurion, Menachem Begin and others — is our ethical strength. We aren’t Daesh,” Ya’alon said about the rally, using an acronym for the Islamic State group that has produced shocking videos of its members executing prisoners.“When there is a need to kill, you kill. When we need to be resolute, we are resolute. But when someone has his hands up, or is already neutralized, that’s when you arrest,” he continued. “Whoever supports these kinds of acts [the soldier’s] is damaging the values of the Israel Defense Forces.”Ya’alon made his comments during a tour of the communities surrounding the southern Gaza Strip, where earlier in the day the IDF revealed a Hamas attack tunnel had been discovered and destroyed.Ya’alon and a number of other military officials have defended the army’s decision to prosecute Azaria, saying the killing, caught on video, is inconsistent with the army’s values.“At times like these, when the public discourse is more complicated than ever, a commander’s voice needs to be sharp, clear and be the compass that leads the soldiers of the IDF,” army chief Gadi Eisenkot said at an event Monday afternoon.Earlier in the day, pop singers David D’or and Eyal Golan pulled out of participation in the Rabin Square rally for Azaria, after coming under public pressure over the highly politicized nature of the controversial event. Other singers are still scheduled to perform.The announcement of Tuesday’s rally drew ire from several lawmakers, with some of them questioning the damage it may cause to the IDF.Legal proceedings against the soldier have caused a major political storm in Israel, with some right-wing politicians and the soldier’s family claiming he is being “lynched” by the media.Meanwhile, thousands have demonstrated on his behalf at a number of rallies around the country demanding his release from IDF custody.Azaria’s name had been kept under gag order until late Monday afternoon, when a court gave the okay to publish his identity after a request from the soldier’s lawyers.Azaria, 19, was filmed shooting 21-year-old Sharif in the head on March 24, minutes after Sharif and another assailant stabbed and moderately wounded a soldier in Tel Rumeida, an Israeli enclave of the West Bank city of Hebron. The two assailants were shot — one was killed, while Sharif was wounded — by an army officer during the course of their attack.The soldier maintains that he believed Sharif might have been wearing a suicide vest and that he shot him out of fear he might activate the bomb.Military prosecutors have reportedly said the soldier’s behavior at the scene did not indicate any such concern, and noted comments he reportedly made that the stabber should be killed.
Netanyahu lauds world first in being able to detect tunnels-After Gaza passage uncovered, prime minister says Israel has invested a ‘fortune’ in defeating Palestinian efforts to dig under border-By Raphael Ahren April 18, 2016, 5:34 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday hailed the IDF for what he called a breakthrough in tunnel detection, hours after the army announced it had located a tunnel meant for attacking Israel reaching from the southern part of the Strip into Israeli territory.Netanyahu said Israel’s tunnel-finding system was the only one of its kind in the world, though he gave no details on the technology that led to Israeli troops uncovering the passage.“In recent days, the State of Israel has achieved a world breakthrough in its efforts to locate tunnels,” he said. “That doesn’t exist anywhere else. We checked the entire world.”Earlier in the day, Israeli officials revealed the army had found a concrete-lined tunnel stretching hundreds of meters from Gaza into Israel, reminiscent of dozens of tunnels destroyed by the army during a 50-day war with Hamas-led fighters in 2014 launched in part to thwart the underground passages.Speaking to reporters in his Jerusalem office, Netanyahu warned Hamas against trying to harm Israeli citizens and vowed that Jerusalem will continue to invest heavily in mechanisms to detect tunnels dug from Gaza into Israel.“The government is investing a fortune in thwarting the threat of tunnels. This is an ongoing effort; it does not end overnight; we are investing in it and will continue to invest steadily and firmly,” he said.“Israel will respond forcefully to any attempt by Hamas to attack its soldiers and attack its citizens,” Netanyahu declared. “I’m sure that Hamas understands this very well.”The tunnel was detected about a week and a half ago and has since been “neutralized,” an army spokesperson said Monday, but would not elaborate on whether it was destroyed or merely sealed off.Its exact location is still being under wraps by the military censor, though it does not appear that the tunnel led directly into Holit or Sufa, the Israeli communities closest to the southern Gaza Strip.Israeli residents near Gaza had complained of hearing digging under their homes in recent months, setting off searches for the tunnels, and Netanyahu and other officials said Israel was working on a secret “solution” to the issue.Netanyahu said Monday the IDF was acting “around the clock” to ensure their security and their ability to live a life without rocket threats, another offensive weapon employed by Hamas and other Gazan terror groups in recent years.-‘IDF not pulling out of Area A’-Netanyahu drew a direct line between the tunnels in Gaza and the quashing of the possibility that Israel would withdraw its army from the West Bank.“Why are there no tunnels in Judea and Samaria [biblical names for the West Bank], in Qalqilya and Tulkarem? It’s not because it’s difficult to dig tunnels there, but because we’re there,” he said, referring to the fact that IDF troops occasionally conduct raids even in West Bank areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority. “And that is one of our considerations when we say that in every agreement, or even without an agreement,” that Israeli troops would have to reserve full freedom of action in the West Bank.The IDF has no interest in entering Palestinian areas with large forces, “but our principle is and will always remain to maintain the right to act according to necessity,” Netanyahu said. “Under no circumstances will we give up on our right to enter any place west of the Jordan River,” if the operational reality requires such incursions, he added.Israel is reportedly in negotiations with the Palestinian Authority over decreasing its troop activity in Area A of the West Bank, which is under Palestinian civilian and security control under the Oslo Accords.Security cooperation with the PA is ongoing, and in the West Bank Jerusalem in principle favors the notion of the “PA doing more and us doing less,” Netanyahu said, without elaborating.During the briefing, the prime minister also discussed several other issues on his agenda, such as the ongoing negotiations with the United States over a memorandum of understand regulating military assistance to Israel. Netanyahu said he sincerely hoped to conclude the talks with the current administration but noted that some significant gaps were still open. “I hope we can conclude the negotiations soon,” he said, refusing to provide further details.Regarding the IDF soldier who killed a wounded and disarmed Palestinian assailant in Hebron, who was named Monday as Elor Azaria, the prime minister said that he proposed waiting for the end of his military trial before further commenting on the matter. “The ongoing talk over this is not helpful,” he said.Netanyahu also refused to say anything about the late right-wing minister Rehavam Ze’evi, saying that he would issue a statement on the accusations leveled against him in a recent television program. On Thursday, the investigative show “Uvda” alleged he was a rapist and had contacts with the underworld.Though hailing what he called Israel’s expanding diplomatic ties with the international community, the prime minister acknowledged that Jerusalem was still on the receiving end of much harsh criticism, especially by international organs such as the United Nations. “It will take time for that to change, until the foreign ministries of these countries [with which Israel has intensified diplomatic contacts, such as Russia, India and so on] change their voting patterns at international organizations. I ordered our Foreign Ministry to demand this change. And it will come.”Judah Ari Gross contributed to this report.
Swedish minister who likened Israel to Nazi Germany quits-Turkish-born Mehmet Kaplan in 2008 asserted ‘similarities’ between persecution of Jews in Holocaust and treatment of Palestinians-By AFP April 18, 2016, 5:38 pm-the times of israel
A Swedish cabinet minister of Turkish origin who compared Israel to Nazi Germany and was photographed with Turkish ultra-nationalists resigned on Monday, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven announced.“Mehmet Kaplan has submitted his resignation and I have accepted it,” Lofven told reporters, nonetheless praising the outgoing housing minister’s “humanistic and democratic values.”Kaplan, a member of the junior coalition partner Green Party, told reporters he was opposed to “all forms of extremism” and stressed his dedication to “human rights, democracy and dialogue.”The 44-year-old had been in hot water since the weekend when media published old video footage of him making controversial remarks about Israel’s politics toward Palestinians.During a March 2009 debate on Islamophobia organized by a Somali organization, Kaplan, who was a member of parliament at the time, said there were “similarities” between the persecution of Jews by Nazi Germany during the 1930s and the everyday lives of Palestinians.Israel’s ambassador to Sweden, Isaac Bachman, branded the remarks as “deeply anti-Semitic.”“I have on several occasions criticized the actions of the state of Israel severely, but I am clearly not anti-Semitic… My criticism of Israel does not make me less critical of the anti-Semitism that exists in Sweden,” Kaplan wrote in a comment published on the website of daily Expressen after his resignation was announced.Last week, media had published photos of Kaplan attending a July 2015 dinner in Sweden with Turkish ultra-nationalists, which sparked strong reactions from the opposition, media, and the public.Among those attending the dinner was Ilhan Senturk, the Swedish head of the ultra-national “Grey Wolves” organization known for political violence in the 1970s and 1980s.Also present was Barbaros Leyani, the former vice-president of the Turkish National Association of Sweden who was forced to resign after calling for the murder of “Armenian dogs” during a demonstration in Stockholm in April.Leaked photo of Swedish minister @MehmetKaplan next to Grey Wolves members & man who called for death of Armenians. pic.twitter.com/H3wg1BSyET-— Dr Partizan (@DrPartizan_) April 14, 2016-Kaplan, who was born in Turkey and moved to Sweden when he was eight, also came under fire from media and political opponents for his ties to Islamic organizations, especially Milli Gorus which is suspected of promoting religious fundamentalism.He acknowledged those ties, but “that doesn’t mean I agree with them on everything,” he told Swedish television.Opposition leader Anna Kinberg Batra of the conservative Moderates criticized Prime Minister Lofven, a Social Democrat, for “being passive and slow” to react to the controversy.

3 charged with funding Temple Mount unrest-Police uncover East Jerusalem network that allegedly paid banned provocateurs to harass Jewish visitors to holy site-By Stuart Winer and Judah Ari Gross April 18, 2016, 9:22 pm-the times of israel
Police revealed Monday that indictments were filed against members of a network that funded disruptive activities on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem aimed at discouraging Jewish visitors to the holy site through provocations and agitation.The activities of the network were uncovered by a joint Israel Police and Shin Bet general security services operation, police said in a statement.Indictments were filed against Muhammad Jabarin, a resident of the northern city of Umm al-Fahm, and Najeeb Qawasmeh Jada and Khalil Abasi, residents of the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, for property transactions for the purpose of terror and membership in a prohibited organization.Police withheld further information regarding the charges against the suspects.The Jerusalem District Prosecutor asked that the suspects remain in custody.During the course of the investigation, police said, prima facie evidence was compiled about a network making payments to male and female activists of the so-called Murabitat groups, which have been banned from the Temple Mount during Jewish visitors’ hours.In addition to questioning the key suspects, police acted against dozens of Murabitan activists in an investigation which is still ongoing, police said.The single-sex Murabitan [for men] or Murabitut [for women] groups are known for opposing Jewish presence on the Temple Mount by shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great”) at visitors, and sometimes resorting to physical assaults. The Prime Minister’s Office has described them as a “salaried group of activists aimed at initiating provocations on the Temple Mount.”Guidance and funding for the group was in the past provided largely by the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement, which was banned in November last year. At the time the Prime Minister’s Office called the organization “a sister movement of the terrorist organization Hamas” and said the two movements maintained close, clandestine ties.In early September, the Murabitat (plural of “Murabit” — a defender of Islam) were banned from the mount during morning hours in which Jews visit, on the orders of Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan. Since then, their members have mostly waited outside the gates of the compound, confronting Jews upon their exit.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Jordan cancels plan for security cameras on Temple Mount-PM says kingdom will halt program, aimed at preventing violent clashes at holy site, because of Palestinian opposition-By AP and Times of Israel staff April 18, 2016, 8:01 pm
Jordan’s prime minister on Monday said his government had decided to call off a plan to install surveillance cameras at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site, derailing a US-brokered pact to ease tensions at the volatile hilltop compound.Abdullah Ensour told the state-run Petra News Agency that Jordan was calling off the plan due to Palestinian concerns.“We were surprised since we announced our intention to carry out the project by the reactions of some of our brothers in Palestine who were skeptical about the project,” he said. “We have found that this project is no longer enjoying a consensus, and it might be controversial. Therefore we have decided to stop implementing it.”The decision came just days before the Jewish holiday of Passover — a time of increased activity at the site. The Temple Mount is revered by Jews as the site of the biblical Temples, and by Muslims, who call it the Noble Sanctuary. It has been a frequent scene of violence in the past.In a deal brokered by US Secretary of State John Kerry, Jordan offered to install the cameras last fall after clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli security forces.The Palestinians had accused Israel of secretly plotting to take over the site — a charge Israel strongly denies — while Israel pointed to videos showing Palestinian protesters using the mosque as cover while throwing stones and firecrackers at police. The idea was that transparency by both sides would help ease tensions.But the plan quickly ran into trouble, with the Palestinians objecting to Israeli demands to place cameras inside the mosque. The Palestinians also said that Israel would use the cameras to spy on them.Israel wants cameras installed everywhere in the compound, including in the mosques, to document the alleged hoarding of stones and weaponry by Palestinians in preparation for clashes with Israeli security forces. Jordan, the custodian of the shrine, only wanted cameras in open areas to show alleged violations by Israeli security forces.Palestinians earlier this month placed notices in the Jerusalem compound warning of plans to smash any security cameras installed at the site.The Jordanian decision could deal an embarrassing blow to Kerry, who had hailed the deal at the time it was announced last October and pushed behind the scenes in recent months for the sides to wrap it up.There was no immediate reaction from the US, Israel or the Palestinians.Clashes between Palestinian youths and Israeli security forces erupted at the compound in September, preceding a wave of Palestinian terrorism and violence, including stabbing, shooting and vehicular ramming attacks that have killed 29 Israelis, two Americans, an Eritrean and a Sudanese since October 1. Some 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli security forces in this period, most of them while carrying out attacks, according to Israeli officials.Israel captured the Temple Mount, site of the biblical Temples, from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War and later annexed the area, but it left Jordanian religious authorities in charge of the Muslim holy sites there. While Israel controls access to the holy site, Jews are barred from praying there.Israel and Jordan have close but quiet relations in other areas, such as security coordination against Islamic extremists. Israeli and Jordanian officials have shied away from commenting about the cameras on the record, presumably not wanting to upset the delicate ties between the countries.
Israeli, Palestinian envoys turn UN meet into shouting match-Danon and Mansour trade barbs at Security Council over Israeli occupation, Palestinian refusal to condemn terrorism-By AFP and Times of Israel staff April 18, 2016, 10:10 pm
A UN Security Council debate turned into a shouting match on Monday between the Israeli and Palestinian ambassadors, who exchanged cries of “Shame on you!” over ongoing violence.Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon broke away from his address to the council and demanded that the Palestinian representative condemn acts of terrorism.“Shame on you for glorifying terrorism!” Danon said.“Shame on you for killing Palestinian children!” After being called to order by the council president, Danon once again turned to Mansour and hammered: “You cannot say it here. Palestinian children are looking at you right now.“‘I condemn all acts of terrorism’: one sentence you cannot say. Shame on you for that,” he pressed on.“Let my people be free! Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you! You are an occupier,” Mansour again retorted.Before the ruckus, Renana Meir, whose mother, Dafna, was stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist in January, addressed the council on behalf of the Israeli mission.“It is difficult to express in words the deep pain and unbearable longing. This sense of loss breaks our heart and our soul,” she said. “With broken hearts we ask the international community for help. We hear those who say that terror is a result of frustration, and we ask — is there anything more frustrating than what we have endured?”Dafna Meir, 38, was killed on January 17 when a Palestinian teen broke into her house in Otniel and stabbed her to death in front of her children. Seventeen-year-old Renana helped her mother fight off the terrorist, who fled after fatally wounding Dafna.Twenty-nine Israelis and four foreign nationals have been killed in a wave of Palestinian terrorism and violence since October. Over 170 Palestinians have also been killed, some two-thirds of them while attacking Israelis, and the rest during clashes with troops, according to the Israeli army.The council debate took place as the Palestinians pushed for a UN resolution demanding that Israel halt the construction of settlements in the Palestinian territories.The draft resolution is being negotiated with Arab countries and has yet to be formally circulated to the council, but the United States — which vetoed a similar resolution in 2011 — has said it “will consider all options” over the Israeli-Palestinian effort.UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in an address that Israeli demolitions of Palestinian buildings in the West Bank were continuing at “an alarming rate,” reasserting that settlements are illegal.The United Nations has voted in support of a two-state solution in the Middle East, with Israel and Palestine both recognized countries, and the expansion of Israeli settlements is seen as undermining that plan.“Tragically, this solution seems more distant than it has for many decades,” Ban said.
