Rivlin marks 70th anniversary of last Jewish camps in Cyprus-Visit aims to upgrade relations; president says Israeli-Cypriot cooperation on intelligence, security, terror prevention has made Mediterranean ‘much, much safer’-By Agencies-TOI-FEB 14,19

NICOSIA, Cyprus — President Reuven Rivlin flew to Cyprus Tuesday to mark 70 years since the closure of British detention camps on the island for Jews trying to reach Palestine after World War II.He was to visit a monument in Nicosia dedicated to the 2,200 children of Holocaust survivors who were born in British colonial camps there between 1946 and 1949.Rivlin also held talks with Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades.Cyprus and Israel aim to upgrade relations, “especially on energy, security, economy, tourism, research and innovation,” tweeted Anastasiades.Rivlin said cooperation between Israel and Cyprus on intelligence, security and terror prevention has made the Mediterranean “much, much safer.”After the talks Tuesday with Anastasiades, he said Israeli-Cypriot security ties “have never been better” with the two countries’ navies and commando units sharing “space, knowledge and experience.”He added that the focus of the neighbors’ strategic partnership, which includes Greece, is developing the East Med gas pipeline that “could be one of the greatest underwater projects in the world.”The envisioned pipeline would carry natural gas from deposits in the eastern Mediterranean to Europe via Greece and Italy.Rivlin said energy cooperation in the eastern Mediterranean could also benefit Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinians. He added that the Israel-Cyprus-Greece partnership could be expanded.Britain, the colonial power in both Cyprus and Palestine at the time, detained on Cyprus about 52,000 Jews fleeing Europe in the wake of the Holocaust who were attempting to reach the soon-to-be-declared state of Israel, most of them young orphans, and housed them in tents.The monument is situated at a present-day army camp that was known as the British Military Hospital.Those detained had been intercepted at sea by British Mandate authorities as they approached Palestine, and were held in 12 camps on the island.The camps were closed a year after the 1948 establishment of Israel.

US lawmakers reach deal ‘in principle’ on border wall funding to avoid shutdown-Republicans said to tentatively agree to far less money for Trump’s border wall than the White House’s $5.7 billion wish list, settling for a figure of about $1.4 billion-By Andrew Taylor and Alan Fram-TOI-FEB 14,19

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional negotiators announced an agreement late Monday to prevent a government shutdown and finance construction of new barriers along the US-Mexico border, overcoming a late-stage hang-up over immigration enforcement issues that had threatened to scuttle the talks.Republicans were desperate to avoid another bruising shutdown. They tentatively agreed to far less money for US President Donald Trump’s border wall than the White House’s $5.7 billion wish list, settling for a figure of about $1.4 billion, according to a senior congressional aide.“We reached an agreement in principle,” said Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, R-Ala., appearing with a bipartisan group of House and Senate lawmakers who concurred.“Our staffs are just working out the details,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey, D-N.Y.Details won’t be officially released until Tuesday, but the pact came in time to alleviate any threat of a second partial government shutdown this weekend.Shelby had earlier pulled the plug on the talks over Democratic demands to limit immigrant detentions by federal authorities, but Democrats yielded ground on that issue in a fresh round of talks on Monday.Asked if Trump would back the deal, Shelby said, “We believe from our dealings with them and the latitude they’ve given us, they will support it. We certainly hope so.”Trump traveled to El Paso, Texas, for a campaign-style rally Monday night focused on immigration and border issues. He has been adamant that Congress approve money for a wall along the Mexican border, though he no longer repeats his 2016 mantra that Mexico will pay for it.Democrats carried more leverage into the talks after besting Trump on the 35-day shutdown but showed flexibility in hopes on winning Trump’s signature. After yielding on border barriers, Democrats focused on reducing funding for detention beds to curb what they see as unnecessarily harsh enforcement by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.The border debate got most of the attention, but it’s just part of a major spending measure to fund a bevy of Cabinet departments. A collapse of the negotiations could imperil budget talks going forward that are required to prevent steep spending cuts to the Pentagon and domestic agencies.The negotiations hit a rough patch Sunday amid a dispute over curbing ICE, the federal agency that Republicans see as an emblem of tough immigration policies and Democrats accuse of often going too far.A House Democratic aide said Republicans had already agreed to funding cuts that would require ICE to ramp down the number of detention beds to a range of 34,000-38,500 by the end of the year. ICE currently detains about 49,000 immigrants on average per day.But a proposal to cap at 16,500 the number of detainees caught in areas away from the border — a limit Democrats say is aimed at preventing overreach by the agency — ran into its own Republican wall.“ICE is being asked to ignore the laws that Congress has already passed,” said agency Deputy Director Matt Albence on a media call organized by the White House. “It will be extremely damaging to the public safety of this country. If we are forced to live within a cap based on interior arrests, we will immediately be forced to release criminal aliens that are currently sitting in our custody.”According to ICE figures, 66 percent of the nearly 159,000 immigrants it reported detaining last year were previously convicted of crimes. Reflecting the two administration’s differing priorities, in 2016 under President Barack Obama, around 110,000 immigrants were detained and 86 percent had criminal records.Few convictions that immigrants detained last year had on their records were for violent crimes. The most common were for driving while intoxicated, drugs, previous immigration convictions and traffic offenses.Trump met Monday afternoon with top advisers in the Oval Office to discuss the negotiations. He softened his rhetoric on the wall but ratcheted it up when alluding to the detention beds issue.“We can call it anything. We’ll call it barriers, we’ll call it whatever they want,” Trump said. “But now it turns out not only don’t they want to give us money for a wall, they don’t want to give us the space to detain murderers, criminals, drug dealers, human smugglers.”The recent shutdown left more than 800,000 government workers without paychecks, forced postponement of the State of the Union address and sent Trump’s poll numbers tumbling. As support in his own party began to splinter, Trump surrendered after the shutdown hit 35 days, agreeing to the current temporary reopening without getting money for the wall.The president’s supporters have suggested that Trump could use executive powers to divert money from the federal budget for wall construction, though he could face challenges in Congress or the courts.

Visiting Haifa base, Netanyahu warns Iran of Israel’s long missile ranges-Comment comes day after Revolutionary Guard commander said Tehran would raze Haifa and Tel Aviv if the US attacks-By TOI staff-FEB 14,19

Prime Minister Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened that Israel could target Iran-backed militias throughout the Middle East during a visit to a naval base Tuesday.“Our missiles can travel very far, and confront any enemy, including the Iranian proxies in our region,” he said from the base in Haifa, a day after an top Iranian commander threatened to raze the city if the US attacked the Islamic Republic.“We are constantly acting in accordance with our need to prevent Iran and its proxies from entrenching along our northern border, and in the wider region,” added Netanyahu, who is also defense minister.Iranian proxies in the region include the Lebanon-based Hezbollah, several terror groups in Gaza, and Shiite militias in Iraq.On Monday, a senior Revolutionary Guards commander said at a rally marking the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution that Iran would wipe out Haifa and Tel Aviv if the US launches an attack on the Islamic Republic.Netanyahu hit back hours later, saying that if Iran made the “terrible mistake” of attacking Israel, it “will be the last anniversary of their revolution they will ever celebrate.”Monday also saw a reported Israeli tank shelling on the Quneitra region just over the Golan Heights border in Syria.According to Syrian state media, Israeli shells targeted a hospital in Quneitra and an observation post in a nearby town, both of which lie in the demilitarized zone separating the countries.The IDF did not comment on the report.Netanyahu’s bureau published a picture of him on the base with officers despite a recent ruling by the attorney general that he could not use pictures with soldiers over concerns it could be used as election propaganda.

Israel and Iran both set to join Russia-led free trade zone-After two rounds of negotiations, Jerusalem close to agreement with Eurasian Economic Union; separately, Tehran also set to sign deal ‘in the near future’-By Raphael Ahren-TOI-FEB 14,19

Israel is set to sign a free-trade agreement with the Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union in the near future, according to officials in Moscow and Jerusalem.Incidentally, Iran is also in advanced talks about creating a free trade zone with the union, known as EAEU. However, each country would sign its own free-trade agreement (FTA) with the union, which would mean that Jerusalem would not be able to trade freely with Tehran, or other states signing similar agreements.“The negotiations with the EAEU were launched in Moscow in April 2018, following positive results of a comprehensive Joint Feasibility Study conducted by the parties,” a spokesperson for the Economy Ministry told The Times of Israel on Monday.“The agreement will cover various aspects of trade in goods, such as rules of origin, customs cooperation, technical barriers to trade, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, e-commerce, dispute settlement, and others.”Tehran’s ambassador to Moscow Mehdi Sanaei said Friday that he expects the Iranian parliament to ratify the free-trade agreement with the EAEU “in the near future,” according to Iran’s Mehr news agency.“The agreement is very important for Iran… because it opens the gates to a big market for our country, and also opens the Iranian market to Russia and northern countries,” he said.Asked what significance, if any, Iran’s joining the EAEU free trade zone would have for Israel, the ministry spokesperson referred this reporter to the Prime Minister’s Office. The PMO did not respond to a query by the time of publication.“The State of Israel supports increasing the economic pressure on Iran so that it will change its behavior,” a senior Israeli official told The Times of Israel, speaking on condition of anonymity and declining to elaborate.In addition to Israel and Iran, the EAEU is expected to sign FTAs “in the near future” with Singapore, India and Egypt, Russia’s First Deputy Minister of Industry Sergey Tsyb said, according to Russia Today.Tsyp said World Trade Organization member states currently use over 7,500 non-tariff measures such as quotas, licenses, restrictions and embargoes, according to the Kremlin-funded outlet.“Therefore, in our opinion, it would be very productive if we actively move towards the conclusion of agreements on the free-trade zone,” he said.During the first round of negotiations between Jerusalem and the EAEU last year, the parties “agreed on the structure of the agreement, discussed proposals for mutual access to markets, trade facilitation, application of protective sanitary and phytosanitary measures, as well as technical regulation mechanisms,” Russian Ambassador to Israel Anatoly Viktorov said in an interview last week [Russian link].In October, during a second round of negotiations held in Israel, the parties had “a substantive discussion of the main sections of the draft agreement,” the envoy went on, noting that the third round of talks are set to take place in late February or early March in one of the EAEU member states.“It is premature to talk about how such a treaty can change the structure of the Russian-Israeli foreign trade turnover and how significant the changes will be, including because it is not yet clear when the document can be signed,” Viktorov said.Israel is currently Russia’s 41st-biggest foreign trade partner, with annual trade consistently growing and currently at $2.5 billion.“The promising areas of trade and economic cooperation include projects to create food clusters in Russia using Israeli technologies, as well as the transfer of industrial facilities and vehicles in Israel to gas-engine fuel using Russian technologies,” Viktorov said.The ambassador also praised Israel for defying “strong external pressure” and refusing to join the US and other Western nations in imposing economic sanctions on Russia. “We hope that our Israeli partners will continue to adhere to this line,” he added.Besides Russia, current EAEU members are Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Together, member states have 183 million inhabitants and cover an area of over 20 million square kilometers.“The Union is being created to comprehensively upgrade, raise the competitiveness of and cooperation between the national economies, and to promote stable development in order to raise the living standards of the nations of the Member-State,” according to its website.In existence since 2015, it guarantees the “free movement of goods, services, capital and labor, pursues coordinated, harmonized and single policy” in the areas determined by the founding treaty and international agreements.FTAs aim to increase trade between countries by eliminating or reducing barriers to trade such as import duties.“Israeli exporters currently benefit from preferential market access to 41 countries thanks to FTAs that were signed and entered into force over the past four decades,” the spokesperson for Israel’s Economy Ministry said.Israel has FTAs with the US, Canada, Turkey, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and others.Several free trade agreements were recently signed but now await ratification before entering into force, for instance with Colombia and Panama.Last month, Israel signed another FTA with Ukraine, in the presence of the Eastern European country’s President Petro Poroshenko.“We’ve worked on this for many years. The bureaucracies have had all the opportunities to prevent this from happening. We overcame it,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the signing ceremony in Jerusalem, noting that the treaty was 1,500 pages long.The Economy Ministry’s Foreign Trade Administration, in cooperation with officials from other ministries, is currently also negotiating new FTAs with China and Vietnam.

Omar said AIPAC pays lawmakers to be pro-Israel, but that’s not how it works-Democrat lawmaker’s tweets display common misconceptions about how the American Israel Public Affairs Committee operates-By Ron Kampeas-TOI-FEB 14,19

WASHINGTON (JTA) — US Rep. Ilhan Omar started a firestorm by saying on Twitter that AIPAC pays lawmakers to support Israel. Both Democrats and Republicans have offered sharp rebukes, accusing the Minnesota Democrat of insinuating that Jews use money to get what they want.(On Monday afternoon, she said “I unequivocally apologize” after speaking to “Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes.”) But Omar’s tweets Sunday also display common misconceptions about how the American Israel Public Affairs Committee operates.“It’s all about the Benjamins,” Omar tweeted, explaining why the Republican House leader, Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, was calling for action against her for a 7-year-old tweet with anti-Semitic overtones for which she had apologized multiple times. Asked to clarify who was paying the “Benjamins,” or cash, Omar replied “AIPAC!”That’s a falsehood — AIPAC does not pay candidates or politicians. But there’s more. Here’s a look at how AIPAC operates.Does AIPAC fund campaigns? It does not, and cannot under the law. The “PAC” in AIPAC stands for public affairs committee, not political action committee. But it could more robustly insert itself into the political process if it wanted.As a 501(c)(4) under the tax code, AIPAC is classified as a “social welfare” nonprofit as opposed to a 501(c)(3), a charitable nonprofit. That primarily means that donations to AIPAC are not tax deductible, but it also would allow AIPAC considerably more leeway under the law to “intervene” in elections, according to the IRS, than a 501(c)(3) — as long as such “interventions” do not comprise a majority of its activity.Some 501(c)(4)s push that intervention to the maximum. The National Rifle Association made clear in the 2016 cycle that it preferred candidate Donald Trump. Lobbies routinely make public scorecards rating lawmakers on their issues.Not AIPAC, which carefully cultivates its bipartisan bona fides.So how does it remain influential? At AIPAC’s annual policy conference, a highlight has been the roll call: Top staff and lay leaders gather on stage and shout out the names of every lawmaker who has been in attendance. AIPAC mobilizes an army of supporters who are inclined to support pro-Israel candidates with their votes, time and money.Walk out the big glass doors of the Washington Convention Center and get yourself invited to a private suite in a hotel within walking distance and, yes, AIPAC’s top donors are raising money for favored candidates.It’s not exactly a secret: Since the early 1980s, AIPAC had at least trained its activists to cultivate friendly lawmakers by donating to their campaigns and campaigning for them. The AIPAC board member who introduces a major lawmaker at the policy conference gets that spot of honor because of some impressive fundraising.So AIPAC and the pro-Israel community speak as one? It’s always been a fine line between favoring issues and not candidates, and it’s become finer in recent years as Congress and campaigning have become more polarized. AIPAC, particularly, comes under pressure because for much of the last decade the majority of American Jewish voters and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have not been on the same page. While most Jews backed President Barack Obama, Netanyahu decidedly did not. The reverse is true with President Donald Trump.In 2015, that meant AIPAC stumped for Netanyahu’s speech to Congress opposing the Iran deal, even though its own leaders well understood that Obama would see it as offensive, especially because then-Speaker John Boehner, a Republican, organized it in secret with Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer. (AIPAC, for what its worth, also was kept out of the loop.) And a year later, in 2016, when then-presidential hopeful Trump broke with protocol and dissed Obama from AIPAC’s stage, its leadership the next day issued an exceptional rebuke to the Republican candidate — and an apology to its members.In addition, AIPAC has faced challenges from its left and right. J Street, AIPAC’s dovish rival, endorsed 88 Democratic House candidates and over half of the Senate’s Democratic caucus in the 2018 midterm elections. The Israel American Council and Christians United for Israel can both be more hawkish than AIPAC.Does AIPAC have an affiliate that pays candidates? No, although other 501(c)(4)s unabashedly do have affiliated political action committees: the NRA, for instance, and J Street. A number of pro-Israel political action committees do look to AIPAC for guidance on which legislative actions to embrace. AIPAC officials, for instance, routinely appear at lobbying days for NORPAC, the most influential center- to right-wing pro-Israel PAC. But these PACs have no formal affiliation with AIPAC.So if politicians want AIPAC’s support, all they they have to do is promise to support its issues? Also not quite right.Rule No. 1 for AIPAC-affiliated donors is to back friendly incumbents, even if the challenger is more aligned with AIPAC on legislation. In a system with historically low turnover — even in these tumultuous times, there were 91 freshmen in the House out of 435 — it makes little sense to aggravate sitting Congress members likely to keep their seats.There are exceptions, but they often prove the rule: The most notable AIPAC “kills” in the 1980s came when the lobby signaled support for those challenging Sen. Charles Percy and Rep. Paul Findley, two Illinois Republicans. Both blamed AIPAC for their losses, but in fact both were weakened by unrelated controversies. The same goes for two Democrats defeated in 2002, Cynthia McKinney of Georgia and Earl Hilliard of Alabama. AIPAC-aligned money had a hand, but the incumbents were hobbled by controversy. McKinney, for example, had hinted that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an inside job.AIPAC does not exactly shy from taking credit. An inside joke about Findley at AIPAC, sometimes repeated in the open at conferences, goes along the lines that he buried himself — but if Findley wants to blame AIPAC, that’s good too.

Gabbay hails Gaza disengagement, is booed by right-wing audience-Sderot had been pummeled by rockets from the Strip even before Israel withdrew all its soldiers and settlers, Labor head reminds a gathering in Jerusalem-By Raoul Wootliff-TOI-FEB 14,19

Labor party chief Avi Gabbay on Tuesday offered unequivocal praise of the 2005 Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, saying it was “the right thing to do,” and reiterating his party’s commitment to a two-state solution.The comments drew immediate anger from Gabbay’s audience at a conference of the right-wing Besheva weekly newspaper in Jerusalem.Speaking days after Israel Resilience head Benny Gantz drew ire from the right for appearing to applaud the Gaza pullout, Gabbay said that he supported the controversial move despite the territory having since fallen into the hands of the terror group Hamas.“People forget that [before the disengagement] they fired rockets on Sderot from within Gaza,” Gabbay told participants, referring to an Israeli city near the Gaza border pummeled for years by crude Kassam rockets.“Disengagement was the right thing to do. Our job is to separate from the Palestinians on the basis of a two-state solution with us responsible for security. This is our worldview,” he said.Met with boos from some in the crowd, the Labor leader responded: “Get used to it, there are other opinions [than yours].”In an interview published last week, his first since entering politics, Gantz appeared to praise the 2005 Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and would not rule out a future evacuation of West Bank settlements located outside the major settlement blocs of Ariel, Ma’ale Adumim and Gush Etzion.Israel has fought three wars with Hamas-led terrorists in Gaza since pulling civilians out of the Strip in 2005, including 2014’s Operation Cast Lead, which was led by Gantz.Jerusalem placed a blockade on the Palestinian enclave after the Hamas terror group took ousted the Palestinian Authority in a bloody coup in 2006.

Suspect in murder of teen: ‘I wanted to kill a Jew and be a martyr’ — report-Arafat Irfaiya, accused of brutally killing Ori Ansbacher, said to tell Shin Bet he crossed into Israel, sprinted to avoid detection by security cameras, looked for Jewish victim-By Jacob Magid-TOI-FEB 14,19

The Palestinian man suspected of brutally murdering 19-year-old Ori Ansbacher told interrogators from the Shin Bet security service that he entered Israel and looked for a Jewish victim because he wanted to be a martyr, Channel 13 news reported Monday.“I entered Israel with a knife because I wanted to become a martyr and murder a Jew,” Arafat Irfaiya reportedly said. “I met the girl by chance.”Irfaiya said that after he crossed the Green Line he sprinted to deliberately avoid detection by security cameras.The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court on Monday extended Irfaiya’s remand for an additional ten days.It was the first time Irfaiya appeared before cameras since his Friday arrest in the West Bank city of Ramallah. He had open scabs on his forehead, nose and below his right eye. The suspect appeared to smirk from his seat as photographers flashed their cameras before being ushered out of the courtroom.Despite a last-minute official appeal from reporters, the judge decided to hold the session behind closed doors. Channel 12 news reported that investigators from the Shin Bet security service and Israel Police hope to indict Irfaiya, a 29-year-old Hebron resident, for murder in the context of a terrorist act, in addition to a charge of rape.Details regarding the rape charge had previously remained under wraps due to a court-imposed gag order.On Sunday, the Shin Bet announced that the murder was a nationalistically motivated terror attack. The intelligence agency, which has been running the investigation with assistance from police, had held off on announcing a terror motive, despite proclamations to that effect from right-wing lawmakers and pundits that began shortly after Ansbacher’s body was found in a forest on the outskirts of Jerusalem on Thursday evening.The Shin Bet said that Irfaiya reenacted the murder in front of interrogators and “implicated himself definitively in the incident.”In the predawn hours of Sunday morning, the IDF entered Irfaiya’s home in Hebron in order to prepare the structure for demolition.Citing the suspect’s account under questioning, the Shin Bet said in a statement Saturday night that Irfaiya left his home in Hebron on Thursday armed with a knife and made his way toward Jerusalem, where he spotted Ansbacher in the woods and fatally attacked her.A spokesman for the Shin Bet said Irfaiya had spent time in prison for security-related offenses and that he had crossed into Israel without a permit before carrying out the murder. Hebrew media reported that the suspect is affiliated with Hamas, though neither the terror group nor others have claimed responsibility for the attack.Additional details regarding the probe, which has sparked national outrage, remain under gag order.On Sunday evening, Channel 13 news reported that Irfaiya was arrested in 2017 at the entrance to the Temple Mount holy site in Jerusalem armed with a large kitchen knife, and had indicated that if released, he would “come back here with a knife.”He told his interrogators that he ultimately aspired to become a “martyr” or be incarcerated in an Israeli prison, that report said.

Egypt accelerates efforts to extend Sissi’s rule-Vote on amendments that could keep president in power for years to come to be moved up by nearly a week, with referendum expected before Ramadan-By Samy Magdy-TOI-14 February 2019

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s parliament is accelerating the process of passing constitutional amendments that would allow President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to stay in office well beyond the end of his current term in 2022.Lawmakers will decide Wednesday on whether to send the amendments to the legislative committee, a vote that was initially scheduled for February 17, parliament spokesman Ahmed Saad el-Din said late Sunday.The legislative committee will have 60 days to discuss the amendments before a final vote. If approved, the amendments would be put to a national referendum.The move to extend presidential terms comes amid concerns that Egypt is slipping back into authoritarianism eight years after a pro-democracy uprising ended Hosni Mubarak’s nearly three-decade rule.Sissi led the 2013 military overthrow of an elected but divisive Islamist president, and was elected the following year. He has presided over an unprecedented crackdown on dissent, and was re-elected last year after all potentially serious challengers were jailed or pressured to exit the race.The 596-seat parliament gave its preliminary approval to the amendments last week. The motion is virtually guaranteed to be approved by the legislature, which is packed with Sissi’s supporters. A coalition of nearly a dozen opposition parties has come out against the proposed amendments, but on their own they would not be able to block them.The amendments also include the creation of the office of vice president, a revived Senate, and a 25 percent quota for women in parliament. They call for “adequate” representation for workers, farmers, young people and people with special needs in the legislature.The president would have the power to appoint top judges and bypass judiciary oversight in vetting draft legislation before it is voted into law. The amendments also give the military the role of guardian and protector of the state, democracy and the constitution.Pro-government figures and media have been lobbying for the amendments for months, saying two four-year terms are not enough for Sissi to fulfill his vision of modernizing the country, including overhauling its economy and defeating Islamic militants.Yasser Rizq, chairman of the state-owned al-Akhbar daily and a close confidant of Sissi, said he expects the referendum to take place before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which is expected to start in early May this year.Former foreign minister Amr Moussa on Saturday called for “a wide national dialogue” on the amendments. Moussa, who also served as Arab League secretary-general, chaired the panel that drafted Egypt’s current constitution in 2014.He urged that all voices, advocates and opponents, should be heard “to enrich the political life in the country and guarantee credibility to the amendments.”

Syria reports Israeli artillery attack on Quneitra-Syrian state media claims IDF targeting hospital and observation post with tank shells; Israeli military does not comment-By TOI staff-14 February 2019

Israeli forces shelled the Syrian city of Quneitra, Syrian state media reported Monday night.According to the state-run SANA news agency, Israeli tank shells targeted a hospital in Quneitra and a nearby observation post.Quneitra lies just across the border on the Golan Heights, in the demilitarized zone between the countries.The Israeli military did not immediately respond to the report.According to SANA, the shelling caused material damage but no casualties.Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes in Syria to thwart attempts to smuggle weapons to the Hezbollah terror group and keep Iranian-backed forces from entrenching themselves near the border.A report last week indicated that advanced Russian S-300 air defense batteries had been set up in Syria to stop Israeli attacks.On Monday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov that Israeli airstrikes on Syria are unlawful and cannot be justified.

8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

Widening snowstorm, freezing rain to snarl travel in eastern U.S.[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-February 12, 2019

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A widening snowstorm with an encore of freezing rain iced over the U.S. Midwest on Tuesday and headed east, causing hundreds of flight cancellations and closing schools, and was expected to tangle New York and Boston's evening rush hour.As much as 1 foot (30 cm) of snow was predicted for inland parts of New England, as well as up to 4 inches (10 cm) in New York City and up to 5 inches (13 cm) in Boston before turning to freezing rain in the late afternoon, said meteorologist Dan Petersen with the National Weather Service in College Park, Maryland."The big cities along the coast are going to have a pretty quick changeover from snow to sleet and freezing rain and eventually rain," Petersen said in a phone interview. "The danger of snow changing to freezing rain is people slip and slide quite a bit and that's the cause of accidents when people lose control of their cars."The storm by early morning had iced over Illinois and Michigan and was moving through Wisconsin into northern Pennsylvania and southwestern New York state. The widening storm was expected to reach as far south as northern Delaware and Maryland, Petersen said.More than 1,600 flights into and out of the United States were canceled on Tuesday, most of them at airports in Chicago, New York and Boston, according to FlightAware.com.Ahead of the storm, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency, and hundreds of schools were closed for the day.(Reporting by Barbara Goldberg; editing by Jonathan Oatis)

Palestinians ask Arab countries to skip US-sponsored Mideast summit in Poland-Abbas travels to Riyadh to discuss ‘dangers facing the Palestinian cause’ as Ramallah asks Arab countries to boycott or downgrade their representation at Warsaw conference-By Agencies and TOI staff    -FEB 14,19

The Palestinians on Monday called on Arab nations to boycott or downgrade their representation at a Mideast summit co-hosted by the United States, as Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas traveled to Saudi Arabia to discuss “the dangers facing the Palestinian cause.”The conference in Poland is widely seen as a US-led effort to isolate Iran, which was not invited. The Palestinians cut off all contacts with the Trump administration after it recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017, saying it was unfairly biased toward Israel.Abbas will meet King Salman to discuss “the current political situation and the dangers facing the Palestinian cause, especially Jerusalem,” the Palestinian leader’s office said.The official Palestinian news agency WAFA quoted the Palestinian ambassador in Saudi Arabia as saying “the visit is a continuation of the communication between the two leaderships under difficult international circumstances, as well as attempts to terminate the Palestinian cause.”A senior Palestinian official said the visit had come at the invitation of the Saudi king, and talks were expected to focus on a peace plan the US says it is working on. The Palestinians have preemptively rejected the plan, saying US President Donald Trump’s Mideast team is hopelessly biased.The US has said the Warsaw conference is aimed at promoting peace and security in the Middle East. But it appears to be focused on building a united front against Iran, a country that both Israel and the Saudis see as a grave threat.US officials say that Trump’s chief Mideast adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner will also discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is not clear if this will include details of his peace plan.Earlier Monday, the Palestinian foreign minister asked Arab countries to boycott or downgrade their representation at the Poland conference, which begins Wednesday.Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are sending foreign ministers and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is attending.Riyad al-Malki told the Voice of Palestine that the Palestinians “view the Warsaw conference as a plot against the Palestinian cause.”Most Arab nations have refrained from establishing relations with Israel without significant progress toward peace with the Palestinians. But many Gulf states share Israel’s concerns about Iran’s growing influence.Netanyahu is set to meet US Vice President Mike Pence and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the two-day conference, “Ministerial to Promote a Future of Peace and Security in the Middle East.”Addressing concerns that the summit would focus too much on Iran, a senior American official said last month: “It’s important to underscore that this is not an anti-Iran meeting or coalition-building exercise.”However, on Sunday Netanyahu said his focus would be the Islamic republic.“The first issue on the agenda is Iran — how to continue preventing it from entrenching in Syria, how to thwart its aggression in the region and, above all, how to prevent Iran from attaining nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said in his weekly cabinet meeting.Chief Palestinian peace negotiator Saeb Erekat said last week the Palestinians would not attend.“Our position remains clear: We are not going to attend this conference and reiterate that we have not mandated anyone to talk on behalf of #Palestine,” Erekat said.The meetings are due to cover a range of issues including “extremism, missile development and proliferation, maritime trade and security, and threats posed by proxy groups across the region.”
