Israel said to let $50 million in Qatari aid into Gaza; balloon attacks to halt-The Times of Israel-Defense Minister Gantz, who railed against paying ‘protection’ to Hamas during election campaign, mum on report of such a deal under his watch-By Judah Ari Gross-JUNE 15,20-Today, 12:07 pm
Israel approved the transfer of $50 million by Qatar to Gaza as part of an apparent deal to halt escalating tensions with terror groups in the Strip, a Lebanese newspaper reported Monday.The alleged agreement came after terror groups in Gaza renewed their practice of launching balloons carrying arson devices and explosives into southern Israel.The Lebanese al-Akhbar newspaper, citing Qatari and international mediators, reported that the terror groups in the Strip had agreed to stop the balloon attacks, which have thus far caused no injury or damage.The apparent deal came despite bitter criticism of such arrangements by Defense Minister Benny Gantz throughout the past three national election campaigns, in which the opponent-turned-ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the government of paying “protection money” to the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group by allowing the transfer of millions of dollars of Qatari aid into the Strip as part of a ceasefire agreement.Left to right: Blue and White alliance leaders Moshe Ya’alon, Benny Gantz, Yair Lapid and Gabi Ashkenazi during a tour of the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip, near Kibbutz Kfar Aza, on March 13, 2019. (Menahem Kahana/AFP)-“Netanyahu pays the Hamas murderers 15 million dollars. Every month. In cash. In exchange we got hundreds of rockets on the residents of the south, tens of thousands of dunams burned, hundreds of incendiary kites and balloons, tens of thousands of children in bomb shelters. We won’t pay Hamas protection money,” Gatnz said in one campaign video.Gantz’s office refused to comment on Monday’s al-Akhbar report.The parents of an IDF soldier whose remains are being held captive by Hamas in Gaza denounced the defense minister on Monday for apparently allowing the deal.“Benny Gantz is a huge disappointment for us. There’s an unconscionable gap between his remarks and declarations and his actions,” said Leah and Simcha Goldin, whose son Hadar was killed during the 2014 Gaza war, which Gantz led as IDF chief.Leah Goldin, right, and her husband Simcha Goldin and other family members and supporters gather outside the state memorial ceremony for Operation Protective Edge at Mount Herzl on July 23, 2019. (Noam Revkin Fenton/Flash90)“The transfer of $50 million to Hamas and the continued abandonment of our sons is a disgrace,” they said in a statement, also referring to Oron Shaul, another IDF soldiers whose remains are being held by Hamas, and to two living Israeli men, Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who entered Gaza and were taken captive by the terror group.“At the direction of the security cabinet and with help from the IDF, $50 million in cash in suitcases will be given to Hamas in Gaza today, an amount that has increased threefold,” they wrote.On Sunday, a cluster of balloons carrying a suspected explosive device that was apparently launched from the Gaza Strip landed outside the southern Israeli community of Tidhar, local officials said.It was the first such balloon-based cross-border attack in several months, though a small number of balloons without suspected explosives attached to them have been flown over the border during that time.IED/incendiary balloon landed near Tidhar, likely launched yesterday from Gaza pic.twitter.com/Otmu4ITHSu— Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian (@manniefabian) June 14, 2020-The incident came against the backdrop of growing threats by groups associated with terrorist organizations in the Strip to resume the practice of these airborne explosives and arson devices into Israel, having stopped in February as Israel and the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group began negotiating a long-term ceasefire and prisoner exchange.In an interview with Palestinian television on Saturday, leading Palestinian Islamic Jihad member Ahmed al-Modallal indicated that terror groups were giving the practice a green light, saying the balloons were being launched by “youths who are letting out their emotions and responding to their distressed lives in Gaza that have no horizon.”The generally restive Gaza border has been calm in recent months, following a large flare-up in February in which Islamic Jihad fired dozens of rockets into southern Israel after the Israel Defense Forces killed one of its members as he was planting a bomb along the border. The IDF responded to the rocket attacks with a series of punishing airstrikes on the group’s bases in the Strip.In the intervening three and a half months, Israel has been negotiating a long-term ceasefire agreement with Hamas, which has reined in the Islamic Jihad and other terror groups in the Strip throughout the process as well as the often violent demonstrations along the Gaza border.In recent days, however, Gaza terror groups have indicated they would restart the low-level violence along the border, including the protests.Israel has conducted three large operations against terror groups in the Gaza Strip in the past 12 years, as well as many shorter, multi-day exchanges.
Coronavirus death toll up to 302 as Tel Aviv flagged as new epicenter-The Times of Israel-Country’s economic hub now home to more active cases than anywhere outside Jerusalem; fatalities include man, 26, who was country’s youngest victim-By Joshua Davidovich-JUNE 15,20-Today, 11:12 am
Two people died of COVID-19 overnight, officials said Monday morning, bringing the nation’s death toll to 302 as the pace of new infections appeared to continue to ramp up in Tel Aviv and elsewhere.The Prime Minister’s Office tallied 73 new coronavirus cases overnight, bringing the count to 19,128. Since Sunday morning there have been 120 new confirmed cases, according to the figures, which differed slightly from ones released by the Health Ministry.Thirty-two patients are in serious condition, including 25 people on ventilators. There are over 3,400 active cases, marking a sharp increase from earlier this month, when the number of sick dropped below 2,000.One of the two fatalities appeared to be a 26-year-old man who succumbed late Sunday, becoming the country’s youngest virus victim.Oshri Asulin (Facebook)-Oshri Asulin, from Kfar Saba, was sedated and in intensive care for over a month before his death, Hebrew media reported. He died at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, where he was being treated after developing a rare heart condition that has been reported in a small number of cases of children who also caught the virus.There were no immediate details about the second victim.The tally of 114 new cases came hours after the ministry confirmed that only 83 new cases were found from Saturday evening to Sunday evening, the lowest tally since June 6 and second lowest since the number of new virus cases began to rebound from just a handful daily at the start of the month.Customers at cafes in Tel Aviv on June 2, 2020. (Miriam Alster/Flash90)-According to official figures, Tel Aviv is seeing the fastest spread of the virus and is currently home to more active carriers than anywhere but Jerusalem, which has long been the country’s largest pandemic epicenter.Nearly a third of the city’s approximately 400 cases have been linked to asylum-seekers in south Tel Aviv, Channel 12 news reported.Police officers arrive to close synagogues in the city of Bnei Brak on April 1, 2020. (Yossi Zamir/Flash90)-The city had largely avoided the initial wave of the virus, which struck hardest in ultra-Orthodox communities that were slow to adhere to social distancing guidelines.On Sunday, Sigal Sadetzky, the head of health services at the Health Ministry, told Knesset lawmakers that Israel was seeing the start of a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic after the government took steps over the last month to reopen the economy and roll back restrictions on movement.“We had a long period of more than two weeks with a calm of less than 20 infections a day, and it started to climb and climb, and now we are seeing close to 200 new sick people a day,” Sadetzky said.“What characterizes the wave we are seeing now is that it’s across the country. We don’t really know how to identify at-risk groups,” she said.Jerusalemites wearing face masks on June 11, 2020. (Olivier Fitoussi/Flash90)-Rather than being in a localized hotspots, “we see it running all around and spreading over a very wide geographical area,” she added.Much of the resurgence of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, has been blamed on the education system, which has seen hundreds of cases in schools and kindergartens. The entire education system was shuttered for two months during the lockdown that began in mid-March.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Senior Likud source says Netanyahu seeking to dissolve government – report-The Times of Israel-Partnership to end 'much faster than everyone thinks'-Irate at Blue and White over combative remarks, PM said to be demanding retroactive change to unity deal; tension flares as Likud tries to block law important to Gantz’s party-By Michael Bachner-JUNE 15,20-Today, 2:26 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is looking for a reason to end his partnership with Benny Gantz’s Blue and White party in the near future, prompting another national election that is expected to greatly benefit him, according to a report citing senior sources in the premier’s party.“The marriage between us and Blue and White will end at the Rabbinate [with a divorce] much faster than everyone thinks,” a senior Likud source was quoted as saying by Channel 12 Sunday. “Netanyahu is trying to find the right timing and pretext to call elections.”The source said negotiations over the state budget, which must pass by the end of August, could provide such a pretext.The official claimed Netanyahu wife Sara and son Yair were pushing to dismantle the government, with Likud responding that that was an “ugly lie.”Avi Nissenkorn of the Blue and White Party attends an election campaign event in Shefayim, on July 14, 2019. Gili Yaari/Flash90)-Netanyahu has reportedly been irked by statements made recently by several Blue and White ministers, including Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn defending the justice system from the premier’s attacks and Social Equality Minister Meirav Cohen saying her party “doesn’t believe Netanyahu or in Netanyahu.”According to recent opinion polls, Likud would easily win a potential Knesset election that would be the fourth since April 2019, with support for Gantz crumbling since he reneged on his core campaign promise and joined Netanyahu’s government.The Channel 12 report said the premier had already made a demand from Blue and White to change a key clause in the power-sharing unity deal, prompting a coalition crisis on Monday.The coalition deal agreed on by the parties stipulates that if the Knesset is dissolved and elections are called between November 2020 and November 2021 — after a six-month “emergency period” ends but before Gantz becomes prime minister as part of the power-sharing deal — Gantz would automatically become the transitional prime minister instead of Netanyahu.The clause is meant to serve as a deterrent against Likud ending the partnership before Gantz gets a chance to be premier.But Netanyahu is now reportedly demanding that the deal be changed so that he will remain prime minister if elections are called during that time.Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz after the presentation of the 35th government of Israel at the Knesset, May 17, 2020. (Alex Kolomoisky/POOL)-The deal says that if the High Court strikes down legislation passed as part of the coalition deal during the emergency period, Netanyahu will be the transitional leader. However, the premier now fears that the court could make such a decision after November, according to Channel 12.The report said Netanyahu was also demanding that the coalition deal be changed so that the government would serve for a full four-year term instead of the current three, fearing that clause would hand the court grounds to annul the deal.The High Court has dismissed petitions filed against the unity deal, but has left the option open to strike it down in the future after the various pieces of legislation anchoring it are passed into law.On Monday, Hebrew-language news outlets reported that Likud was objecting to quickly advancing the so-called Norwegian Law, which is important to Blue and White and is included in the coalition deal.The bill allows ministers to give up their positions as Knesset members in order to enable a different member of their party slate to take their spot in parliament. It has passed a first reading out of three in the Knesset, and the final two readings are scheduled for Monday evening.The reports said Blue and White was determined to put the law up for a second vote at the Knesset on Monday, while Likud wanted to wait.Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz (L) and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Knesset plenum on May 17, 2020. (Knesset)-Channel 12 said the reason was a tour Gantz held Sunday at the Justice Ministry, seen as a subtle rebuke of Netanyahu’s broadsides against the judiciary, which has put him on trial for corruption.Likud rejected the report, saying there was “no connection” between the issue of the Norwegian Law and Gantz’s visit.Netanyahu and Gantz were set to meet later Monday, reportedly to smooth out disagreements between the parties.Likud’s opposition to advancing the Norwegian Law has in turn caused a minor crisis with the United Torah Judaism (UTJ) party allied with Netanyahu, which also wants to advance the law and has reportedly demanded that it be passed this week.While coalition whip Miki Zohar (Likud) has said the law wouldn’t go up for a vote Monday, the delay would require the approval of UTJ’s Ya’akov Asher, chairman of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee. Asher’s associates have said he won’t approve the delay.The unity coalition deal ended over a year of political deadlock when the most minister-rich government in Israel’s history was sworn in last month. New ministerial positions were created to accommodate the cabinet’s 33 ministers — over a quarter of the Knesset’s 120 lawmakers.Among the new offices created earlier this month was the Alternate Prime Minister’s Office, which will be held by Defense Minister Gantz for 18 months and then be transferred to Netanyahu as part of a power-sharing deal designed to allow him to keep the prime ministerial title even after vacating the post.
Nuke watchdog to meet as row brews over Iran blocking inspections-The Times of Israel-IAEA says it is unhappy with Tehran refusing to open up two sites where nuclear activity may have taken place; Tehran says request based on flawed Israeli intelligence-By AFP and TOI staff-JUNE 15,20-Today, 10:46 am
The UN nuclear watchdog’s governing body will meet on Monday as a row brews over Iran’s refusal to allow access to two sites where nuclear activity may have occurred in the past.The Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) expressed “serious concern” in a report earlier this month that Iran has been blocking inspections at the sites.The Board of Governors, one of the agency’s policy-making bodies, is expected to discuss the report during its meeting. If its members pass a resolution critical of Iran, it would be the first of its kind since 2012.Even though the two sites are not thought to be key to Iran’s current activities, the agency says it needs to know if past activities going back almost two decades have been properly declared and all materials accounted for.The report detailed efforts made by the agency’s officials to get access to the locations.In this photo released by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, spokesman of the organization Behrouz Kamalvandi, center, briefs the media while visiting Fordo nuclear site near Qom, south of Tehran, Iran, November 9, 2019 (Atomic Energy Organization of Iran via AP)-Iran told the agency the report was a source of “deep regret and disappointment” and hinted the queries were based on “fabricated information” from “intelligence services.”Israel has previously claimed its intelligence services unearthed information on an alleged previous nuclear weapons program in Iran. Diplomats told the Reuters news agency that the IAEA’s request to take environmental samples at the sites is at least partially based on Israeli intelligence after the Mossad clandestine service stole documents from a warehouse described by Israel as a nuclear archive.Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the United Nations General Assembly on September 27, 2018, in New York City, and holds up a picture of what he said was a secret Iranian nuclear warehouse. (John Moore/Getty Images/AFP)-An inspection last year at a “carpet-cleaning facility” that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flagged as a likely former nuclear site turned up trace amounts of fissile material.“Copies of papers presented to Iran by the agency as the basis for its requests are neither authentic nor related to the open-source, but rather claimed by the Israeli regime to have been acquired through a so-called secret operation,” Iran’s diplomatic mission to the IAEA in Vienna said in March, in a statement carried by Reuters.“The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that merely forwarding some papers based on the intelligence services’ fabricated information is not consistent with the agency’s Statute, Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement, and the Additional Protocol,” it said.Western states have voiced concern over Iran’s denial of access to the sites, with the United States and Israel being particularly vocal.The latest row over access comes as a landmark deal between Iran and world powers in 2015 continues to unravel.Under the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran committed to curtailing its nuclear activities in return for sanctions relief and other benefits.But the country has slowly abandoned its commitments in retaliation for US President Donald Trump’s decision two years ago to renounce the deal and reimpose swingeing sanctions.Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium is now almost eight times the limit fixed in the accord, according to an IAEA assessment published earlier this month.In this photo released by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, technicians work at the Arak heavy water reactor’s secondary circuit, as officials and media visit the site, near Arak, Iran, December 23, 2019. (Atomic Energy Organization of Iran via AP)-However, the level of enrichment is still far below what would be needed for a nuclear weapon.The IAEA says it continues to have access to all the facilities needed to monitor Iran’s current nuclear activity.The latest tension will further complicate efforts by the deal’s EU signatories — the so-called E3 of France, Germany and Britain — to keep the deal from collapsing.Trump has called for the E3 to follow his lead and leave the deal.In this photo released by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran on November 6, 2019, a forklift carries a cylinder containing uranium hexafluoride gas for the purpose of injecting the gas into centrifuges in Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility. (Atomic Energy Organization of Iran via AP)-Last month, the US said it was ending sanctions waivers for nations that remain in the Iran nuclear accord — a move likely to have most impact on Russian firms working on Iran’s nuclear program.The American move brought condemnation from the E3 and was branded “unlawful” by Tehran.Iran is also concerned that the US is pushing for an extension to an international arms embargo against Tehran which is set to be progressively eased from October.Last week Iranian President Hassan Rouhani urged other UN Security Council members, especially veto-wielding China and Russia, to stand against the American “conspiracy.”
Poland invades Czech Republic in ‘misunderstanding’-The Times of Israel-Moving the Pole posts-Polish soldiers at border closed due to pandemic accidentally took up their post last month at the wrong spot, leading to diplomatic tiff-By TOI staff-JUNE 15,20-Today, 7:48 am
Poland accidentally invaded the Czech Republic in late May, in what Warsaw has described as a “misunderstanding,” according to various reports over the weekend.Polish soldiers stationed at the border in northeastern Moravia to prevent the spread of the coronavirus into the country took up their post at the wrong spot, the reports said.The incident occurred in the Czech village of Pelhřimovy, and near the Polish village of Pielgrzymów.For several days- it isn’t clear exactly how long- they prevented Czech visitors from visiting a church that is situated in their own country.Czech sources said Prague immediately notified the Polish government of the mistaken annexation, leading to the mistake being fixed.“Our Polish counterparts unofficially assured us that this incident was merely a misunderstanding caused by the Polish military with no hostile intention, however, we are still expecting a formal statement,” a Czech foreign ministry official was quoted as saying by CNN.“The Polish soldiers are no longer present and our citizens can again visit the site freely,” the official added.Poland’s ministry of defense has not issued a formal statement. However, it told CNN that “the placement of the border post was a result of misunderstanding, not a deliberate act. It was corrected immediately and the case was resolved — also by the Czech side.”Polish sources said the issue was resolved not between the governments, but between border control officials.While borders between European Union states are normally open -and often barely visible- Poland closed its border earlier this year to curb the coronavirus. It opened its border on Saturday.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II has reportedly refused to take phone calls from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, amid seething anger in the Hashemite kingdom over Israeli plans to annex portions of the West Bank.The report by the Palestinian Ma’an news agency would seem to mark a new low in Israel-Jordan ties, which have been tested repeatedly in recent years and which Amman has threatened to cut off if Israel goes ahead.There was no confirmation from official Jordanian or Israeli sources.According to the report, which cited a Jordanian official, Amman is also refusing to set a date for a meeting with Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz to discuss the annexation plans and the Trump administration’s peace plan.Gantz has sought to coordinate the move with a wider range of allies than the US, but Jordan has vociferously rejected annexation, with the king warning it could lead to a “massive conflict.”Jordan is one of two Arab countries that has official diplomatic ties with Israel, along with Egypt.Netanyahu has vowed to push ahead with plans to begin annexing swaths of the West Bank starting on July 1, under the US’s peace proposal, which envisions Israel holding onto some 30 percent of the West Bank.The plans have threatened to upend years of diplomatic work forging quiet ties with Gulf states. On Friday, the United Arab Emirates’ influential ambassador to the US, Yousef al-Otaiba, warned in an op-ed published in an Israeli paper that Abu Dhabi would freeze normalization if annexation moves ahead.Miri Regev, center, visiting the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi with UAE officials on October 29, 2018. (Courtesy Chen Kedem Maktoubi)-Other Gulf states have remained mostly quiet about the plans.An Israeli diplomatic official said Monday that ties with the Gulf would be set back by annexation moves.“It’s obvious to us that the pace of relations between Israel and Gulf states will slow or be halted as a result of annexation,” the official told Army Radio.
Security forces raze 12 buildings in 2 central West Bank illegal Jewish outposts-The Times of Israel-15 hilltop youths detained at scene for clashing with troops; locals accuse border cops of excessive force; demolitions appear to be 1st in Gantz’s tenure as defense minister-By Jacob Magid-JUNE 15,20-Today, 3:17 pm
Security forces razed a dozen makeshift buildings at a pair of neighboring central West Bank outposts on Monday morning, detaining at least 15 hilltop youth residents of the wildcat communities who clashed with troops during the demolitions, according to a legal aid organization representing them.+The order to flatten six illegal structures in Maoz Esther and another six in Baladim — both next to the Kochav Hashahar settlement — appeared to be the first signed off on by Benny Gantz since he took over as defense minister last month.“Enforcement activities were carried out in accordance with the authority of the Civil Administration and were subject to operational considerations,” a defense official told The Times of Israel.Both the Baladim and Maoz Esther outposts have been razed and rebuilt several times in recent years, with the former hilltop community known for its particularly extremist residents, who have been involved in violent attacks against IDF soldiers and neighboring Palestinians.Israeli security forces raze buildings in the illegal outpost of Maoz Esther on June 15, 2020. (Geulat Zion)-The Honenu legal aid organization said in a statement that Border Police operating at the scene used excessive force to remove the five families living in the two outposts from their homes.Honenu’s Nati Rom said the forces handcuffed the residents and left them sitting in the sun for several hours by the time he arrived.The demolitions come nearly two months after similar razings were carried out in several outposts outside the northern West Bank’s Yitzhar settlement.

Taking cue from lightning, Tel Aviv University team creates power from humidity-The Times of Israel-Researchers find that voltage develops between 2 metal surfaces when humidity rises above 60%; could lead to batteries chargeable by water vapor-By Sue Surkes-JUNE 15,20-Today, 1:48 pm
Israeli scientists have already learned how to produce water from air. Now they may be poised to create power from humidity.The research — led by Prof. Colin Price in collaboration with Prof. Hadas Saaroni and doctoral student Judi Lax, all of Tel Aviv University’s Porter School of the Environment and Earth Sciences — is based on the knowledge that electricity is generated by the interaction of water molecules and metal surfaces.“We sought to capitalize on a naturally occurring phenomenon — electricity from water,” explained Price. “Electricity in thunderstorms is generated only by water in its different phases — water vapor, water droplets, and ice. Twenty minutes of cloud development is how we get from water droplets to huge electric discharges — lightning — some half a mile in length.”In the nineteenth century, English physicist Michael Faraday discovered that water droplets could charge metal surfaces due to friction between the two. A more recent study showed that certain metals spontaneously build up an electrical charge when exposed to humidity.Prof. Colin Price (right) with a student. (Judi Lax)-Building on the findings of earlier discoveries such as these, the researchers set out to test the possibility of making a tiny low-voltage battery that uses nothing but humidity in the air.They exposed two different metals to different levels of humidity, while one was grounded.“We found that there was no voltage between them when the air was dry,” Price said. “But once the relative humidity rose above 60 percent, a voltage began to develop between the two isolated metal surfaces. When we lowered the humidity level to below 60%, the voltage disappeared. When we carried out the experiment outside in natural conditions, we saw the same results.”He went on, “Water is a very special molecule. During molecular collisions, it can transfer an electrical charge from one molecule to the other. Through friction, it can build up a kind of static electricity.“We tried to reproduce electricity in the lab and found that different isolated metal surfaces will build up different amounts of charge from water vapor in the atmosphere, but only if the air relative humidity is above 60%. This occurs nearly every day in the summer in Israel and every day in most tropical countries.”According to Price, this study challenges established ideas about humidity and its potential as an energy source. “People know that dry air results in static electricity and you sometimes get ‘shocks’ when you touch a metal door handle. Water is normally thought of as a good conductor of electricity, not something that can build up charge on a surface. However, it seems that things are different once the relative humidity exceeds a certain threshold,” he said.The researchers were able to show that humid air may be a source of charging surfaces to voltages of around one volt. “If an AA battery is 1.5V, there may be a practical application in the future: to develop batteries that can be charged from water vapor in the air,” Price said.“The results may be particularly important as a renewable source of energy in developing countries, where many communities still do not have access to electricity, but the humidity is constantly about 60%.”The research, released last week by the university, was published in Nature Scientific Reports in May.

Israel said to let $50 million in Qatari aid into Gaza; balloon attacks to halt-The Times of Israel-Defense Minister Gantz, who railed against paying ‘protection’ to Hamas during election campaign, mum on report of such a deal under his watch-By Judah Ari Gross-JUNE 15,20-Today, 12:07 pm
Israel approved the transfer of $50 million by Qatar to Gaza as part of an apparent deal to halt escalating tensions with terror groups in the Strip, a Lebanese newspaper reported Monday.The alleged agreement came after terror groups in Gaza renewed their practice of launching balloons carrying arson devices and explosives into southern Israel.The Lebanese al-Akhbar newspaper, citing Qatari and international mediators, reported that the terror groups in the Strip had agreed to stop the balloon attacks, which have thus far caused no injury or damage.The apparent deal came despite bitter criticism of such arrangements by Defense Minister Benny Gantz throughout the past three national election campaigns, in which the opponent-turned-ally of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the government of paying “protection money” to the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group by allowing the transfer of millions of dollars of Qatari aid into the Strip as part of a ceasefire agreement.Left to right: Blue and White alliance leaders Moshe Ya’alon, Benny Gantz, Yair Lapid and Gabi Ashkenazi during a tour of the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip, near Kibbutz Kfar Aza, on March 13, 2019. (Menahem Kahana/AFP)-“Netanyahu pays the Hamas murderers 15 million dollars. Every month. In cash. In exchange we got hundreds of rockets on the residents of the south, tens of thousands of dunams burned, hundreds of incendiary kites and balloons, tens of thousands of children in bomb shelters. We won’t pay Hamas protection money,” Gatnz said in one campaign video.Gantz’s office refused to comment on Monday’s al-Akhbar report.The parents of an IDF soldier whose remains are being held captive by Hamas in Gaza denounced the defense minister on Monday for apparently allowing the deal.“Benny Gantz is a huge disappointment for us. There’s an unconscionable gap between his remarks and declarations and his actions,” said Leah and Simcha Goldin, whose son Hadar was killed during the 2014 Gaza war, which Gantz led as IDF chief.Leah Goldin, right, and her husband Simcha Goldin and other family members and supporters gather outside the state memorial ceremony for Operation Protective Edge at Mount Herzl on July 23, 2019. (Noam Revkin Fenton/Flash90)“The transfer of $50 million to Hamas and the continued abandonment of our sons is a disgrace,” they said in a statement, also referring to Oron Shaul, another IDF soldiers whose remains are being held by Hamas, and to two living Israeli men, Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who entered Gaza and were taken captive by the terror group.“At the direction of the security cabinet and with help from the IDF, $50 million in cash in suitcases will be given to Hamas in Gaza today, an amount that has increased threefold,” they wrote.On Sunday, a cluster of balloons carrying a suspected explosive device that was apparently launched from the Gaza Strip landed outside the southern Israeli community of Tidhar, local officials said.It was the first such balloon-based cross-border attack in several months, though a small number of balloons without suspected explosives attached to them have been flown over the border during that time.IED/incendiary balloon landed near Tidhar, likely launched yesterday from Gaza pic.twitter.com/Otmu4ITHSu— Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian (@manniefabian) June 14, 2020-The incident came against the backdrop of growing threats by groups associated with terrorist organizations in the Strip to resume the practice of these airborne explosives and arson devices into Israel, having stopped in February as Israel and the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group began negotiating a long-term ceasefire and prisoner exchange.In an interview with Palestinian television on Saturday, leading Palestinian Islamic Jihad member Ahmed al-Modallal indicated that terror groups were giving the practice a green light, saying the balloons were being launched by “youths who are letting out their emotions and responding to their distressed lives in Gaza that have no horizon.”The generally restive Gaza border has been calm in recent months, following a large flare-up in February in which Islamic Jihad fired dozens of rockets into southern Israel after the Israel Defense Forces killed one of its members as he was planting a bomb along the border. The IDF responded to the rocket attacks with a series of punishing airstrikes on the group’s bases in the Strip.In the intervening three and a half months, Israel has been negotiating a long-term ceasefire agreement with Hamas, which has reined in the Islamic Jihad and other terror groups in the Strip throughout the process as well as the often violent demonstrations along the Gaza border.In recent days, however, Gaza terror groups have indicated they would restart the low-level violence along the border, including the protests.Israel has conducted three large operations against terror groups in the Gaza Strip in the past 12 years, as well as many shorter, multi-day exchanges.
Coronavirus death toll up to 302 as Tel Aviv flagged as new epicenter-The Times of Israel-Country’s economic hub now home to more active cases than anywhere outside Jerusalem; fatalities include man, 26, who was country’s youngest victim-By Joshua Davidovich-JUNE 15,20-Today, 11:12 am
Two people died of COVID-19 overnight, officials said Monday morning, bringing the nation’s death toll to 302 as the pace of new infections appeared to continue to ramp up in Tel Aviv and elsewhere.The Prime Minister’s Office tallied 73 new coronavirus cases overnight, bringing the count to 19,128. Since Sunday morning there have been 120 new confirmed cases, according to the figures, which differed slightly from ones released by the Health Ministry.Thirty-two patients are in serious condition, including 25 people on ventilators. There are over 3,400 active cases, marking a sharp increase from earlier this month, when the number of sick dropped below 2,000.One of the two fatalities appeared to be a 26-year-old man who succumbed late Sunday, becoming the country’s youngest virus victim.Oshri Asulin (Facebook)-Oshri Asulin, from Kfar Saba, was sedated and in intensive care for over a month before his death, Hebrew media reported. He died at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, where he was being treated after developing a rare heart condition that has been reported in a small number of cases of children who also caught the virus.There were no immediate details about the second victim.The tally of 114 new cases came hours after the ministry confirmed that only 83 new cases were found from Saturday evening to Sunday evening, the lowest tally since June 6 and second lowest since the number of new virus cases began to rebound from just a handful daily at the start of the month.Customers at cafes in Tel Aviv on June 2, 2020. (Miriam Alster/Flash90)-According to official figures, Tel Aviv is seeing the fastest spread of the virus and is currently home to more active carriers than anywhere but Jerusalem, which has long been the country’s largest pandemic epicenter.Nearly a third of the city’s approximately 400 cases have been linked to asylum-seekers in south Tel Aviv, Channel 12 news reported.Police officers arrive to close synagogues in the city of Bnei Brak on April 1, 2020.

Senior Likud source says Netanyahu seeking to dissolve government – report-The Times of Israel-Partnership to end 'much faster than everyone thinks'-Irate at Blue and White over combative remarks, PM said to be demanding retroactive change to unity deal; tension flares as Likud tries to block law important to Gantz’s party-By Michael Bachner-JUNE 15,20-Today, 2:26 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is looking for a reason to end his partnership with Benny Gantz’s Blue and White party in the near future, prompting another national election that is expected to greatly benefit him, according to a report citing senior sources in the premier’s party.“The marriage between us and Blue and White will end at the Rabbinate [with a divorce] much faster than everyone thinks,” a senior Likud source was quoted as saying by Channel 12 Sunday. “Netanyahu is trying to find the right timing and pretext to call elections.”The source said negotiations over the state budget, which must pass by the end of August, could provide such a pretext.The official claimed Netanyahu wife Sara and son Yair were pushing to dismantle the government, with Likud responding that that was an “ugly lie.”Avi Nissenkorn of the Blue and White Party attends an election campaign event in Shefayim, on July 14, 2019. Gili Yaari/Flash90)-Netanyahu has reportedly been irked by statements made recently by several Blue and White ministers, including Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn defending the justice system from the premier’s attacks and Social Equality Minister Meirav Cohen saying her party “doesn’t believe Netanyahu or in Netanyahu.”According to recent opinion polls, Likud would easily win a potential Knesset election that would be the fourth since April 2019, with support for Gantz crumbling since he reneged on his core campaign promise and joined Netanyahu’s government.The Channel 12 report said the premier had already made a demand from Blue and White to change a key clause in the power-sharing unity deal, prompting a coalition crisis on Monday.The coalition deal agreed on by the parties stipulates that if the Knesset is dissolved and elections are called between November 2020 and November 2021 — after a six-month “emergency period” ends but before Gantz becomes prime minister as part of the power-sharing deal — Gantz would automatically become the transitional prime minister instead of Netanyahu.The clause is meant to serve as a deterrent against Likud ending the partnership before Gantz gets a chance to be premier.But Netanyahu is now reportedly demanding that the deal be changed so that he will remain prime minister if elections are called during that time.Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz after the presentation of the 35th government of Israel at the Knesset, May 17, 2020. (Alex Kolomoisky/POOL)-The deal says that if the High Court strikes down legislation passed as part of the coalition deal during the emergency period, Netanyahu will be the transitional leader. However, the premier now fears that the court could make such a decision after November, according to Channel 12.The report said Netanyahu was also demanding that the coalition deal be changed so that the government would serve for a full four-year term instead of the current three, fearing that clause would hand the court grounds to annul the deal.The High Court has dismissed petitions filed against the unity deal, but has left the option open to strike it down in the future after the various pieces of legislation anchoring it are passed into law.On Monday, Hebrew-language news outlets reported that Likud was objecting to quickly advancing the so-called Norwegian Law, which is important to Blue and White and is included in the coalition deal.The bill allows ministers to give up their positions as Knesset members in order to enable a different member of their party slate to take their spot in parliament. It has passed a first reading out of three in the Knesset, and the final two readings are scheduled for Monday evening.The reports said Blue and White was determined to put the law up for a second vote at the Knesset on Monday, while Likud wanted to wait.Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz (L) and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Knesset plenum on May 17, 2020. (Knesset)-Channel 12 said the reason was a tour Gantz held Sunday at the Justice Ministry, seen as a subtle rebuke of Netanyahu’s broadsides against the judiciary, which has put him on trial for corruption.Likud rejected the report, saying there was “no connection” between the issue of the Norwegian Law and Gantz’s visit.Netanyahu and Gantz were set to meet later Monday, reportedly to smooth out disagreements between the parties.Likud’s opposition to advancing the Norwegian Law has in turn caused a minor crisis with the United Torah Judaism (UTJ) party allied with Netanyahu, which also wants to advance the law and has reportedly demanded that it be passed this week.While coalition whip Miki Zohar (Likud) has said the law wouldn’t go up for a vote Monday, the delay would require the approval of UTJ’s Ya’akov Asher, chairman of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee. Asher’s associates have said he won’t approve the delay.The unity coalition deal ended over a year of political deadlock when the most minister-rich government in Israel’s history was sworn in last month. New ministerial positions were created to accommodate the cabinet’s 33 ministers — over a quarter of the Knesset’s 120 lawmakers.Among the new offices created earlier this month was the Alternate Prime Minister’s Office, which will be held by Defense Minister Gantz for 18 months and then be transferred to Netanyahu as part of a power-sharing deal designed to allow him to keep the prime ministerial title even after vacating the post.
Nuke watchdog to meet as row brews over Iran blocking inspections-The Times of Israel-IAEA says it is unhappy with Tehran refusing to open up two sites where nuclear activity may have taken place; Tehran says request based on flawed Israeli intelligence-By AFP and TOI staff-JUNE 15,20-Today, 10:46 am
The UN nuclear watchdog’s governing body will meet on Monday as a row brews over Iran’s refusal to allow access to two sites where nuclear activity may have occurred in the past.The Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) expressed “serious concern” in a report earlier this month that Iran has been blocking inspections at the sites.The Board of Governors, one of the agency’s policy-making bodies, is expected to discuss the report during its meeting. If its members pass a resolution critical of Iran, it would be the first of its kind since 2012.Even though the two sites are not thought to be key to Iran’s current activities, the agency says it needs to know if past activities going back almost two decades have been properly declared and all materials accounted for.The report detailed efforts made by the agency’s officials to get access to the locations.In this photo released by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, spokesman of the organization Behrouz Kamalvandi, center, briefs the media while visiting Fordo nuclear site near Qom, south of Tehran, Iran, November 9, 2019 (Atomic Energy Organization of Iran via AP)-Iran told the agency the report was a source of “deep regret and disappointment” and hinted the queries were based on “fabricated information” from “intelligence services.”Israel has previously claimed its intelligence services unearthed information on an alleged previous nuclear weapons program in Iran. Diplomats told the Reuters news agency that the IAEA’s request to take environmental samples at the sites is at least partially based on Israeli intelligence after the Mossad clandestine service stole documents from a warehouse described by Israel as a nuclear archive.Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the United Nations General Assembly on September 27, 2018, in New York City, and holds up a picture of what he said was a secret Iranian nuclear warehouse. (John Moore/Getty Images/AFP)-An inspection last year at a “carpet-cleaning facility” that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flagged as a likely former nuclear site turned up trace amounts of fissile material.“Copies of papers presented to Iran by the agency as the basis for its requests are neither authentic nor related to the open-source, but rather claimed by the Israeli regime to have been acquired through a so-called secret operation,” Iran’s diplomatic mission to the IAEA in Vienna said in March, in a statement carried by Reuters.“The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that merely forwarding some papers based on the intelligence services’ fabricated information is not consistent with the agency’s Statute, Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement, and the Additional Protocol,” it said.Western states have voiced concern over Iran’s denial of access to the sites, with the United States and Israel being particularly vocal.The latest row over access comes as a landmark deal between Iran and world powers in 2015 continues to unravel.Under the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran committed to curtailing its nuclear activities in return for sanctions relief and other benefits.But the country has slowly abandoned its commitments in retaliation for US President Donald Trump’s decision two years ago to renounce the deal and reimpose swingeing sanctions.Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium is now almost eight times the limit fixed in the accord, according to an IAEA assessment published earlier this month.In this photo released by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, technicians work at the Arak heavy water reactor’s secondary circuit, as officials and media visit the site, near Arak, Iran, December 23, 2019. (Atomic Energy Organization of Iran via AP)-However, the level of enrichment is still far below what would be needed for a nuclear weapon.The IAEA says it continues to have access to all the facilities needed to monitor Iran’s current nuclear activity.The latest tension will further complicate efforts by the deal’s EU signatories — the so-called E3 of France, Germany and Britain — to keep the deal from collapsing.Trump has called for the E3 to follow his lead and leave the deal.In this photo released by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran on November 6, 2019, a forklift carries a cylinder containing uranium hexafluoride gas for the purpose of injecting the gas into centrifuges in Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility. (Atomic Energy Organization of Iran via AP)-Last month, the US said it was ending sanctions waivers for nations that remain in the Iran nuclear accord — a move likely to have most impact on Russian firms working on Iran’s nuclear program.The American move brought condemnation from the E3 and was branded “unlawful” by Tehran.Iran is also concerned that the US is pushing for an extension to an international arms embargo against Tehran which is set to be progressively eased from October.Last week Iranian President Hassan Rouhani urged other UN Security Council members, especially veto-wielding China and Russia, to stand against the American “conspiracy.”
Poland invades Czech Republic in ‘misunderstanding’-The Times of Israel-Moving the Pole posts-Polish soldiers at border closed due to pandemic accidentally took up their post last month at the wrong spot, leading to diplomatic tiff-By TOI staff-JUNE 15,20-Today, 7:48 am
Poland accidentally invaded the Czech Republic in late May, in what Warsaw has described as a “misunderstanding,” according to various reports over the weekend.Polish soldiers stationed at the border in northeastern Moravia to prevent the spread of the coronavirus into the country took up their post at the wrong spot, the reports said.The incident occurred in the Czech village of Pelhřimovy, and near the Polish village of Pielgrzymów.For several days- it isn’t clear exactly how long- they prevented Czech visitors from visiting a church that is situated in their own country.Czech sources said Prague immediately notified the Polish government of the mistaken annexation, leading to the mistake being fixed.“Our Polish counterparts unofficially assured us that this incident was merely a misunderstanding caused by the Polish military with no hostile intention, however, we are still expecting a formal statement,” a Czech foreign ministry official was quoted as saying by CNN.“The Polish soldiers are no longer present and our citizens can again visit the site freely,” the official added.Poland’s ministry of defense has not issued a formal statement. However, it told CNN that “the placement of the border post was a result of misunderstanding, not a deliberate act. It was corrected immediately and the case was resolved — also by the Czech side.”Polish sources said the issue was resolved not between the governments, but between border control officials.While borders between European Union states are normally open -and often barely visible- Poland closed its border earlier this year to curb the coronavirus. It opened its border on Saturday.

Jordan king said to snub Netanyahu, refuse his calls over annexation push-The Times of Israel-Abdullah also rejecting scheduling meeting with Defense Minister Benny Gantz to discuss Israeli plans, according to Palestinian report-By TOI staff-JUNE 15,20-Today, 3:57 pm
Jordan’s King Abdullah II has reportedly refused to take phone calls from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, amid seething anger in the Hashemite kingdom over Israeli plans to annex portions of the West Bank.The report by the Palestinian Ma’an news agency would seem to mark a new low in Israel-Jordan ties, which have been tested repeatedly in recent years and which Amman has threatened to cut off if Israel goes ahead.There was no confirmation from official Jordanian or Israeli sources.According to the report, which cited a Jordanian official, Amman is also refusing to set a date for a meeting with Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz to discuss the annexation plans and the Trump administration’s peace plan.Gantz has sought to coordinate the move with a wider range of allies than the US, but Jordan has vociferously rejected annexation, with the king warning it could lead to a “massive conflict.”Jordan is one of two Arab countries that has official diplomatic ties with Israel, along with Egypt.Netanyahu has vowed to push ahead with plans to begin annexing swaths of the West Bank starting on July 1, under the US’s peace proposal, which envisions Israel holding onto some 30 percent of the West Bank.The plans have threatened to upend years of diplomatic work forging quiet ties with Gulf states. On Friday, the United Arab Emirates’ influential ambassador to the US, Yousef al-Otaiba, warned in an op-ed published in an Israeli paper that Abu Dhabi would freeze normalization if annexation moves ahead.Miri Regev, center, visiting the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi with UAE officials on October 29, 2018. (Courtesy Chen Kedem Maktoubi)-Other Gulf states have remained mostly quiet about the plans.An Israeli diplomatic official said Monday that ties with the Gulf would be set back by annexation moves.“It’s obvious to us that the pace of relations between Israel and Gulf states will slow or be halted as a result of annexation,” the official told Army Radio.
Security forces raze 12 buildings in 2 central West Bank illegal Jewish outposts-The Times of Israel-15 hilltop youths detained at scene for clashing with troops; locals accuse border cops of excessive force; demolitions appear to be 1st in Gantz’s tenure as defense minister-By Jacob Magid-JUNE 15,20-Today, 3:17 pm
Security forces razed a dozen makeshift buildings at a pair of neighboring central West Bank outposts on Monday morning, detaining at least 15 hilltop youth residents of the wildcat communities who clashed with troops during the demolitions, according to a legal aid organization representing them.+The order to flatten six illegal structures in Maoz Esther and another six in Baladim — both next to the Kochav Hashahar settlement — appeared to be the first signed off on by Benny Gantz since he took over as defense minister last month.“Enforcement activities were carried out in accordance with the authority of the Civil Administration and were subject to operational considerations,” a defense official told The Times of Israel.Both the Baladim and Maoz Esther outposts have been razed and rebuilt several times in recent years, with the former hilltop community known for its particularly extremist residents, who have been involved in violent attacks against IDF soldiers and neighboring Palestinians.Israeli security forces raze buildings in the illegal outpost of Maoz Esther on June 15, 2020. (Geulat Zion)-The Honenu legal aid organization said in a statement that Border Police operating at the scene used excessive force to remove the five families living in the two outposts from their homes.Honenu’s Nati Rom said the forces handcuffed the residents and left them sitting in the sun for several hours by the time he arrived.The demolitions come nearly two months after similar razings were carried out in several outposts outside the northern West Bank’s Yitzhar settlement.

Taking cue from lightning, Tel Aviv University team creates power from humidity-The Times of Israel-Researchers find that voltage develops between 2 metal surfaces when humidity rises above 60%; could lead to batteries chargeable by water vapor-By Sue Surkes-JUNE 15,20-Today, 1:48 pm
Israeli scientists have already learned how to produce water from air. Now they may be poised to create power from humidity.The research — led by Prof. Colin Price in collaboration with Prof. Hadas Saaroni and doctoral student Judi Lax, all of Tel Aviv University’s Porter School of the Environment and Earth Sciences — is based on the knowledge that electricity is generated by the interaction of water molecules and metal surfaces.“We sought to capitalize on a naturally occurring phenomenon — electricity from water,” explained Price. “Electricity in thunderstorms is generated only by water in its different phases — water vapor, water droplets, and ice. Twenty minutes of cloud development is how we get from water droplets to huge electric discharges — lightning — some half a mile in length.”In the nineteenth century, English physicist Michael Faraday discovered that water droplets could charge metal surfaces due to friction between the two. A more recent study showed that certain metals spontaneously build up an electrical charge when exposed to humidity.Prof. Colin Price (right) with a student. (Judi Lax)-Building on the findings of earlier discoveries such as these, the researchers set out to test the possibility of making a tiny low-voltage battery that uses nothing but humidity in the air.They exposed two different metals to different levels of humidity, while one was grounded.“We found that there was no voltage between them when the air was dry,” Price said. “But once the relative humidity rose above 60 percent, a voltage began to develop between the two isolated metal surfaces. When we lowered the humidity level to below 60%, the voltage disappeared. When we carried out the experiment outside in natural conditions, we saw the same results.”He went on, “Water is a very special molecule. During molecular collisions, it can transfer an electrical charge from one molecule to the other. Through friction, it can build up a kind of static electricity.“We tried to reproduce electricity in the lab and found that different isolated metal surfaces will build up different amounts of charge from water vapor in the atmosphere, but only if the air relative humidity is above 60%. This occurs nearly every day in the summer in Israel and every day in most tropical countries.”According to Price, this study challenges established ideas about humidity and its potential as an energy source. “People know that dry air results in static electricity and you sometimes get ‘shocks’ when you touch a metal door handle. Water is normally thought of as a good conductor of electricity, not something that can build up charge on a surface. However, it seems that things are different once the relative humidity exceeds a certain threshold,” he said.The researchers were able to show that humid air may be a source of charging surfaces to voltages of around one volt. “If an AA battery is 1.5V, there may be a practical application in the future: to develop batteries that can be charged from water vapor in the air,” Price said.“The results may be particularly important as a renewable source of energy in developing countries, where many communities still do not have access to electricity, but the humidity is constantly about 60%.”The research, released last week by the university, was published in Nature Scientific Reports in May.
