Panic and fear’ in Gaza as new virus cases lead to lockdown, first death-Nine new infections confirmed Wednesday in areas around Strip; Hamas officials say cases not connected, leading to fears of community spread-By Aaron Boxerman-aug 26,20-Today, 3:29 pm
Gaza saw its first death outside of quarantine facilities from the coronavirus Wednesday afternoon, as nine new cases were confirmed in residential areas on the coastal enclave, raising fears of growing community spread among its beleaguered residents.Sixty-one-year-old Rabah Labad, a member of Hamas’ military wing, became the first victim in a new cluster of coronavirus cases that appeared in the Gaza Strip suddenly, after six months of the virus having been successfully contained. There have been 15 cases confirmed since Monday, when Gaza authorities announced a 48-hour lockdown following the discovery of four cases in the al-Maghazi refugee camp.Cases have appeared in different regions, and Hamas officials have said that some are unrelated to one another. This could be evidence of community spread — infections appearing without a clear chain of transmission — which would mean that many cases are going undetected. Hamas officials have not released information about the level of testing for the virus in the Strip.For over seven months, authorities have managed to largely ward off the spread of the virus in the Gaza Strip, subjecting thousands of arrivals in the Strip to severe quarantine measures — at least 21 days in health facilities specifically designated by the Hamas health ministry for the purpose.Gaza had previously seen only one death from coronavirus, a woman from Rafah who succumbed while in quarantine after arriving from Egypt.“We managed to keep the virus out for this whole time, even as the virus spread across the region and the world. But we always warned that the scenario of the virus entering the Strip was possible,” a spokesperson for the Gaza Health Ministry said on Monday night. “This scenario today became reality.”Hamas health ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qidra said that the origin of the cluster of infections found Monday came while a woman from al-Maghazi refugee camp was visiting al-Makassed hospital inside Israel. The family returned to the Gaza Strip last Tuesday without crossing through a checkpoint and without entering a legally mandated quarantine.Gazans were taken by surprise by the sudden lockdown. In the absence of coronavirus, schools in the coastal enclave were set to re-open for the coming year. Popular markets and restaurants had been fully open for months. Beaches were full of residents and large rallies were held with little social distancing.The announcement that, after six months, coronavirus was spreading in Gaza changed all that.“There is an intense feeling of panic and fear. Most people haven’t left their houses since Monday night,” said Mukhaimar Abu Sa’ada, a professor of political science at Al-Azhar University in Gaza.In the refugee camp no one was allowed in or out while Hamas officials tested. In the rest of the Gaza Strip, residents were allowed to leave their homes “when absolutely necessary,” according to Hamas official Salama Maarouf.Locals flooded Gaza’s supermarkets to purchase groceries on Monday night after the cases were announced. Hundreds of mourners also broke the lockdown to gather in the Gaza City neighborhood of Shujaiya to attend the funeral of four members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad who died in an explosion Monday night.In most of the Strip, however, normally packed streets and beaches have been largely empty since Sunday night’s announcement.Palestinian mourners carry the coffins of members of the Islamic Jihad terror group during their funeral procession in Gaza City, on August 25, 2020. Four members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad were killed in Gaza overnight, by the accidental explosion of a bomb they were handling, witnesses and security sources said. (MAHMUD HAMS / AFP)Officials are widely expected to announce an extension of the lockdown, which is set to expire Wednesday night.The Gaza health system has already been under intense strain for years due to the blockade by Israel and Egypt, World Health Organization official Ayadil Saparbekov told The Times of Israel, adding that there are currently only 87 ventilators in the Gaza Strip.Rising tensions between Israel and Hamas, the terror group which controls the coastal enclave, has compounded the strain. Gaza-based groups have recently launched hundreds of explosive balloons into Israel, which has responded by banning the entry of fuel via the Kerem Shalom commercial crossing with Gaza in an attempt to pressure Hamas.Without fuel, Gaza’s only power plant shut down two weeks ago, reducing the amount of electricity residents receive to around four hours a day. Running water and sewage treatment have also been impacted by the power cuts.“With running water available only a few hours a day, this decreases the ability of people to wash their hands and protect themselves from the virus,” Zaqout said.Even hospitals are impacted by the blackouts, said Red Crescent spokesperson Suheir Zaqout. Many health facilities receive no more than 12 hours a day, often less. Some attempt to compensate with generators, many of which are old and require fuel to run.Qatari envoy Mohammad al-Emadi reportedly arrived in Gaza on Tuesday night in an attempt to restore calm to the area. Qatar has already agreed to extend a program that provides financial support to 100,00 poor families in the Strip for an additional six months, but Hamas is reportedly demanding additional funding from Qatar in exchange for a de-escalation of violence. Hamas has also publicly claimed that Israel was not upholding its ceasefire obligations from 2018.Palestinians line up in front of a bakery to buy bread during a 48 hour lockdown imposed following the discovery of the first coronavirus cases in the Gaza Strip, on August 25, 2020. (AP/Khalil Hamra)-International Crisis Group analyst Ofer Zalzberg said that he believed that Israel would “increase its quest for a short term de-escalation of the violent altercations,” and ease restrictions on medical equipment entering the coastal enclave should the outbreak continue.“Massive contagion in Gaza coupled with Israeli refusal to permit entry of Gazans to Israeli hospitals would not sit well with a White House signing ceremony of an Arab-Israeli normalization agreement,” Zalzberg said.The Hamas-imposed lockdown has not yet brought an end to the incendiary balloons causing fires in southern Israel. Some of the Gaza-based groups have said that lockdown or no, they would continue to fire balloons across the border fence. But Abu Sa’ada said he believes that “matters were leading towards a ceasefire.”“Hamas cannot fight two battles at once. The most important battle right now is against the spread of coronavirus,” Abu Sa’ada said. “I don’t think Israel is the main issue right now.”But it is unclear how long Hamas can maintain a lockdown in Gaza, said Abu Sa’ada. A coronavirus lockdown in the West Bank by the Palestinian Authority has effectively ceased to be enforced after several rounds of protests by restaurant owners and small merchants.“People here are desperate. You can hold a lockdown for maybe two weeks, but after that people will break it,” Abu Sa’ada said. “Now that the virus is here, it is going to be very hard to break the chain of transmission.”

Ukraine bans foreigners through September, foiling Rosh Hashanah pilgrimage-Ukrainian PM also signals Kyiv will ban mass gatherings in Uman during Jewish new year, after Israeli officials warned festivities could result in a COVID-19 outbreak-By TOI staff-aug 26,20-Today, 4:38 pm
Ukraine on Wednesday announced it would seal its borders to foreigners through September to curb rising coronavirus infections, blocking Israeli and Jewish pilgrims from traveling to the city of Uman for the Rosh Hashanah holiday.Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal also signaled the government would impose a ban on large gatherings in Uman during the Jewish new year.“Unfortunately, we will have to make a decision to ban such mass events in the city of Uman. This is our responsibility, and we should not create additional huge risks for Ukrainians, and not only for them, but also for citizens of other countries,” he was quoted saying during a cabinet meeting by national news agency Ukrinform.Shmyhal said exceptions would be made for non-nationals with residency permits, as well as employees of international and humanitarian organizations.The announcement of the entry ban came after the official leading Israel’s response to the pandemic asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to prevent the pilgrimage, fearing returning pilgrims could drive up infection rates in the Jewish state.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky talks with journalists in Kyiv, Ukraine, October 10, 2019. (AP/Efrem Lukatsky, File)-Zelensky had announced Tuesday that Ukraine would “significantly limit” the entry of Jewish visitors for Rosh Hashanah next month at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request, but didn’t specify the degree to which the pilgrimage would be limited. The city usually sees tens of thousands of Hasidic Jews visit the grave site of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav for the Rosh Hashanah holiday, which this year begins the evening of September 18.Netanyahu’s office swiftly denied that the premier had made such a request, in what may have been an effort to assuage his ultra-Orthodox allies.Zelensky also met Tuesday with Jewish leaders, asking them to help prevent mass gatherings in Uman during Rosh Hashanah, according to a statement from his office.Coronavirus czar Professor Roni Gamzu during a meeting with Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion at the Jerusalem city hall on August 12, 2020. (Olivier Fitoussi/Flash90)-Coronavirus czar Ronni Gamzu’s opposition to the pilgrimage, which mostly draws ultra-Orthodox Jews, has raised hackles among Netanyahu’s ultra-Orthodox partners, some of whom have reportedly sought to oust him from his post.Coalition whip Miki Zohar, a Likud party ally of Netanyahu’s, earlier Wednesday hit out at Gamzu for trying to keep Israelis from traveling to Uman for Rosh Hashanah but not seeking to halt mass protests against the prime minister because of alleged fear of the media.Gamzu later rejected Zohar’s criticism, as did Health Minister Yuli Edelstein. Several lawmakers also came to Gamzu’s defense.Zohar’s criticism of Gamzu came a day after the latter vowed to “do everything” to prevent large numbers of Hasidic Jews from flying to Uman and threatened he could resign over the matter.Ukraine is one of the few countries that are currently allowing in Israeli nationals, despite the high coronavirus infection rate in the Jewish state.
Wednesday the rabbi was murdered: What the press is saying on August 27-Fatal stabbing of Shai Ohayon, 39, apparently brings a year of no terrorism deaths in Israel to an abrupt, tragic end-By TOI staff-AUG 27,20-Today, 4:09 pm
1. Terrorism crashes an anniversary of no terrorism deaths: Rabbi Shai Ohayon, 39, was stabbed to death on Wednesday afternoon in an apparent terrorist attack, which if the motive is confirmed would end a yearlong streak of no terrorism deaths in Israel.The suspected killer, a Palestinian father of six from the West Bank, had a permit to work in Israel and no history or terrorist activities. The Shin Bet security service said it was looking into the possibility that he had a history of mental illness, but that it was “too soon to tell” if that could explain the attack. Chilling footage from the scene of the attack shows the stabber calmly walking away.Ohayon’s broad-daylight murder at Segula Junction in Petah Tikva makes the front pages of all of Israel’s dailies.In a late-night burial, Ohayon is mourned as a dedicated father of four — the youngest just four years old — and husband, and devout Torah scholar. A photo of his widow, Sivan, kneeling and sobbing on his fresh grave is widely shared on social media.dioth Ahronoth quotes an eyewitness, Avraham Sayag, who chased the stabber with a bat after the Petah Tikva attack. “After he was informed that Ohayon was no longer alive, Sayag broke out in tears. ‘I don’t believe it,’ he said. ‘I couldn’t help him in the end. I saw him stand on his feet and I asked, ‘brother, are you okay? I just can’t process this. I have no words.'” Ohayon, who was stabbed repeatedly, had initially brushed himself off and insisted he was fine, said Sayag.The killing came hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu touted on social media that Israel has seen no terrorism deaths in a year, for the first time in 56 years. Jinx.2. Law and disorder: The Yedioth Ahronoth daily plays up an upcoming weekend interview with former police commissioner Roni Alsheich, in which the ex-top cop who oversaw the investigations into Netanyahu opines that the premier will be convicted. The interview is part of Alsheich’s efforts to promote his new book.The upcoming interview stokes fury in the pro-Netanyahu Israel Hayom daily, which plays up a complaint against Alsheich for interviewing for Yedioth and allegedly releasing his book through its publishing house. The complaint to the attorney general notes that Alsheich oversaw the criminal investigation and indictment of Yedioth’s publisher, Arnon Mozes, as part of the so-called Case 2000 into the premier, making his book contract and the interview a highly problematic arrangement. “Why there? Conflict of interest? For flattering coverage?… For ethics? For exposure? And why are you silent? Why?” writes attorney Pinchas Fishler in the complaint to Avichai Mandelblit. Fishler is a former police officer who worked briefly in the Prime Minister’s Office under Netanyahu, until he resigned amid accusations of criminal conduct for which he was later cleared. There’s just one catch — the allegation seems entirely spurious, as Alsheich notes his book was published by Steimatzky, and the publishing house chose a variety of outlets for him to give interviews to.“It’s unfortunate that Israel Hayom decided to give its readers completely unfounded information,” he says. Despite the criminal charges against Mozes, in which he is accused of offering flattering coverage in an alleged quid pro quo with Netanyahu, he continues to run Yedioth — 212 days after he was charged with bribery — as this single-minded site by the Seventh Eye media watchdog underlines.The Haaretz daily leads its Thursday coverage with the state prosecution’s new directives, under which protesters should only be placed on trial for disturbances during rallies in exceptional cases. The new legal rules draw immediate attacks from Netanyahu’s Likud party, which accuses the state prosecution of unveiling these rules to ensure police go easy on the thousands of demonstrators outside the premier’s residence several times weekly and claims the legal officials are encouraging “violent anarchy” in a bid to topple Netanyahu.Likud lawmakers have been instructed to attack the prosecution, reports say.Prof. Mordechai Kremnitzer, in a column for Haaretz, says the previous guidelines on the treatment of demonstrators were outdated and needlessly heavy-handed.“Even if one doesn’t agree with every detail of the instruction, it’s impossible not to be impressed by the general spirit that respects democracy and the freedoms that accompany it,” he writes.3. Dip the apple in the hand sanitizer: Three weeks before Rosh Hashanah, it’s still unclear what health regulations will be enforced over the High Holidays. Will there be a national lockdown? Or just restrictions on synagogues and gatherings? The government has yet to decide.In Yedioth, Nadav Eyal underlines the government’s paralysis in a conversation with a senior official. “‘And here’s the problem,’ the official said last night. ‘We can’t do anything.’ It’s a heck of a problem, I replied. ‘If we introduce restrictions, even small ones, the cabinet and then the Knesset will chip away at them, nothing will happen,’ he said.“So how will you bring down the infection rates, perhaps with the red light plan [the color-coded plan that would see restrictions applied locally, based on rate of infection], I wondered. ‘Oh, no, no, even the virus czar Gamzu explained that this program will help manage the pandemic, but it won’t necessarily drive down infections.’ I challenged him: So how will the infections be brought down, I asked again. ‘Either it’ll come down slowly,’ he explained, frustrated, ‘or we’ll reach a point of serious restrictions like a lockdown.’ So you’re saying that despite the fact that the correct decision right now is to introduce restrictions that will prevent a lockdown, you simply can’t pass these restrictions. He confirmed. Where’s Bibi? I asked. He sighed.”Writes Eyal: “Israel is taking an exceptional gamble. Who knows, maybe the roulette will play in its favor. But if not, it will bring the healthcare system to the brink. It’s gambling with the whole pot — on life and death.”But one issue has been resolved: Ukraine on Wednesday banned foreigners, thwarting the yearly Rosh Hashanah pilgrimage that draws thousands of Israelis and that Israel had feared would result in a serious outbreak from returning travelers.Despite the apparent resolution of that issue (thanks, Kyiv) coronavirus czar Ronni Gamzu, who has been fighting the ultra-Orthodox politicians strongly over the Uman gathering, indicates he’s at his breaking point. “Sometimes I have the thought of handing over the position to someone else,” he tells Army Radio on Thursday morning.Separately, Yedioth on Thursday reports that the Finance Ministry is planning salary cuts for public servants. The scaleback, which is expected to save NIS 4 billion, would see 700,000 public servants have their wages cut by up to 10 percent (3% for those earning NIS 7,000-15,000, 7% for those earning between NIS 15,000-20,000, and 10% for those earning above NIS 20,000). The move will also take a bite out of salaries of social workers, police officers, teachers, and doctors, all of whom have been working harder amid the pandemic. The labor unions are expected to put up a serious fight, it says.4. We’ll always have Abu Dhabi: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Middle East tour has come to an end, apparently with little success in convincing moderate Arab states to normalize ties with Israel, following in the steps of UAE.Sudan and Bahrain spurned Pompeo outright, while Oman made no mention of Israel in its readout of the meeting.“After American and Israeli officials spent days hyping the prospect that other Arab countries would soon follow the UAE in normalising relations with Israel, the lack of any additional public commitments during Secretary Pompeo’s regional tour looks like an anti-climax,” Hugh Lovatt of the European Council on Foreign Relations tells AFP.5. Till next time: The exchange of fire at the Israel-Lebanon border between Hezbollah continues to preoccupy the press on Thursday.In Haaretz, analyst Amos Harel says the Beirut blast and its devastating aftermath has not dented Hezbollah’s desire to get revenge against Israel over the killing of its fighter in an Israeli airstrike in Syria and following a previous unsuccessful border clash “Since the night shooting did not bring results, we must assume that Hezbollah will make other attempts. These efforts come in a specific context — close to the border and against IDF soldiers, not against Israeli civilians. [Leader Hassan] Nasrallah isn’t interested in setting a large fire here, despite his tough rhetoric. Israel, for its part, is seeking to continue its efforts in Syria as part of the ‘operation between the war’ and to keep deterrence vis-a-vis Hezbollah. In a pessimistic scenario, the next Hezbollah responses could lead to casualties on the Israeli side and even devolve into several days of combat, exchanges of fire that are less than a war, along the border with Lebanon.”

We are not defeated’: PA leaders say they won’t bend in face of mounting crises-With no support from US, friction with Hamas, and claiming betrayal over UAE’s deal with Israel, Palestinian leadership pledges to keep seeking rights ‘generation after generation’ By Agencies and TOI staff-aug 26,20-Today, 2:45 pm
In three decades of failed peace efforts, the Palestinians have never faced a more unsympathetic US administration, a more self-assured Israel or a more ambivalent international community.But even as their hopes for statehood have never seemed so dim, there’s no indication their aging leadership will change course.Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas remains committed to the same strategy he has pursued for decades — seeking international support to pressure Israel to agree to a Palestinian state in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, lands Israel seized from Jordan and Egypt in the 1967 Six Day War.That quest seems even more quixotic after the United Arab Emirates’ decision to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, which shattered the Arab consensus behind land for peace, a rare source of leverage for the Palestinians. The PA has castigated the deal as “despicable” and as a “betrayal” of their cause by the UAE. For its part, the UAE says it compelled Israel to call off planned partial West Bank annexation plans as part of the normalization deal, and that this gives Israel and the Palestinians a new opportunity to negotiate.Other Arab nations are expected to follow the Emirates’ lead, lending support to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s contention that Israel can make peace with its Arab neighbors without any concessions to the Palestinians.The UAE agreement has also resurrected US President Donald Trump’s Middle East plan, which favors Israel and was rejected outright by the Palestinians. It would remain the cornerstone of US policy for another four years if Trump is reelected.But while the odds are overwhelmingly stacked against them, the Palestinians make up nearly half the population between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Their leaders say Israel still needs their signature if it hopes to resolve the conflict, a source of frustration for Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, the architect of the plan.PLO Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi speaks at a press conference in Ramallah on February 24, 2015. (WAFA/File)-“There is an erroneous assumption that the Palestinians are defeated, and they have to accept the facts of their defeat,” said Hanan Ashrawi, a senior Palestinian Authority official. “The Palestinians are willing, generation after generation, to continue their struggle until we get our rights.”Here’s a look at the Palestinians’ options going forward:The diplomatic route-The Palestinians’ demand for a state based on the 1967 lines still enjoys broad international support and is enshrined in UN resolutions. Palestine was granted “observer state” status in 2012, allowing it to join several global forums, including the International Criminal Court.The Palestinians have requested an ICC war crimes investigation of Israel that could eventually see charges filed against political or military leaders. Israel is not a member of the ICC and says there is no legal basis for any investigation, but its citizens could be subject to arrest in other countries if warrants are issued.Those moves have put pressure on Israel, but have not led to any concessions. They also haven’t prevented it from cultivating closer ties to Arab and African countries that historically supported the Palestinians, culminating in the agreement with the UAE.The Palestinians responded to the UAE agreement by calling for an urgent meeting of the Arab League and the 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation, but the oil-rich UAE is a powerful member of both and the meetings have yet to materialize.The EU — divided and preoccupied by the coronavirus crisis — also seems unable to offer significant support.Tel Aviv City Hall is lit up with the flag of the United Arab Emirates as the UAE and Israel announce an agreement establishing full diplomatic ties, August 13, 2020, (AP Photo/Oded Balilty, File)-Boycotts and international solidarity-In recent years, a Palestinian-led international movement has sought to mobilize grassroots support for a campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions.BDS organizers say they are leading a nonviolent campaign for Palestinian rights modeled on the struggle against apartheid South Africa. Israel accuses them of seeking to delegitimize its entire existence.While BDS has notched some successes, it has had no discernible impact on Israel’s economy. Popular among left-wing activists in Western countries, it also has faced setbacks, including anti-BDS legislation in the US and Germany.Tareq Baconi, an analyst for the International Crisis Group, says the growing solidarity between Palestinian and Black Lives Matter activists “is an example of some of the pressure that can be brought to bear on Israel eventually. But this is, for the moment, too fragmented and not sufficiently powerful enough to have any kind of political leverage.”A one-state solution-In recent years a growing number of Palestinians and their supporters have suggested abandoning the two-state solution in favor of a single bi-national state for Jews and Palestinians or some kind of Israeli-Palestinian confederation.The idea gained new attention last month when Peter Beinart, a prominent Jewish-American commentator, came out in favor of the idea.The argument is that Israel’s right-wing government and its sprawling West Bank settlements — now home to more than 500,000 Israelis — make any partition impossible. There have been no substantive peace talks in more than a decade.One-state proponents say Palestinians should instead seek equal rights, including the right to vote.While it has gained traction among intellectuals, the idea has little support in Israel, the West Bank or Gaza. A June poll carried out by the respected Palestinian Center for Survey and Policy Research found that just 37 percent of Palestinians support the idea, and only 6% would choose it over other options.The PA leadership remains staunchly opposed to a one-state solution, which would entail dismantling the Palestinian Authority and plunging into an uncertain future.Palestinians wave their national flags during a protest against the Middle East peace plan announced by US President Donald Trump, in Gaza City, February 21, 2020. (AP Photo/Adel Hana, File)-Cleaning house-Many Palestinians argue that their leadership needs to pursue fundamental reforms. Abbas’s popularity has plunged in recent years and the Palestinian Authority is widely seen as corrupt and incompetent.There have been no national elections in nearly 15 years because of the bitter division between Abbas’ Fatah movement and the Islamic terror group Hamas, which seized Gaza from his forces in 2007 in a bloody coup.Fatah and Hamas are united in their rejection of the Trump plan and Arab normalization and in recent weeks have held joint meetings and rallies to project a united front. But several past attempts at a broader reconciliation have all failed.That has left the 85-year-old Abbas entrenched at the head of an aging and inflexible Palestinian leadership.-Banking on Biden-The election of former US Vice President Joe Biden would likely spell the end of the Trump plan. But few Palestinians believe a return to the Obama-era approach of trying to coax the two sides toward a negotiated settlement will succeed.US Vice President Joe Biden, left, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, shake hands at the presidential compound in Ramallah, West Bank, March 9, 2016. (Debbie Hill, Pool via AP) “It’s very difficult to envision anyone doing more damage than Trump,” Ashrawi, the PA official, said. “At the same time, I would like to caution against thinking that Biden is a knight in shining armor.”Biden “will go back to managing the conflict,” said Ali Jarbawi, a political science professor at Birzeit University in the West Bank.“Under the banner of a two-state solution you give money to the Palestinians, you tell the Israelis please don’t do this and don’t do that, and engage once more in negotiating that will take another 20 years,” he said.
Pompeo heads home after appearing to hit wall in push for Israel ties-US secretary of state wraps up Middle East tour with visit to Oman, where he discusses ‘building regional peace, stability, and prosperity’ with the country’s new sultan-By Agencies-augt 27,20-Today, 2:19 pm
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday visited Oman’s new sultan, the last stop on a Middle East trip that sought to build on an American-brokered deal to have Israel and the United Arab Emirates normalize relations.However, he returned home after stops in Bahrain, Oman and Sudan apparently empty-handed with none of the conservative Arab nations willing for now to follow Abu Dhabi in normalizing ties with the Jewish state.“Met today with Omani Sultan Haitham bin Tarik Al-Said on the importance of building regional peace, stability, and prosperity through a united Gulf Cooperation Council,” Pompeo tweeted as he left Oman, the last stop on his itinerary.“Grateful for our strong security partnership and economic ties.”Met today with Omani Sultan Haitham bin Tarik Al Said on the importance of building regional peace, stability, and prosperity through a united Gulf Cooperation Council.

The GCC’s other two members, Kuwait and Oman, have pushed for the countries to reconcile, as has the US amid the Trump administration’s maximum pressure policy targeting Iran.Oman’s official news agency ONA reported after the meeting that “aspects of the existing bilateral cooperation between the Sultanate and the United States were reviewed within the framework of the strong relations that bind them,” but made no reference to relations with Israel.Pompeo was the first high-level Western official to meet Sultan Haitham, the successor of Sultan Qaboos who died in January after ruling Oman for 50 years. In the time since, he’s focused entirely on overhauling the sultanate’s government, though he said he planned to continue Oman’s non-interference policy in the region. Oman for years has served as a key interlocutor between Iran and the West.Accompanying Sultan Haitham at the meeting was Oman’s new foreign minister, Badr bin Hamad al-Busaidi.Oman has long had dialogue with Israel and welcomed the United Arab Emirates’ August 13 announcement that it had normalized ties, while reaffirming its support for the Palestinians.In this photo provided by Ministry of Presidential Affairs/WAM, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, left, meets United Arab Emirates national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan at Al-Shati Palace in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, August 26, 2020.

Hurricane Laura live updates: Storm slams into Gulf Coast, 500K residents without power-[Good Morning America]-WILLIAM MANSELL, DANIEL MANZO and MORGAN WINSOR-August 27, 2020
Laura is moving inland across the southeastern United States as a Category 2 hurricane with an "unsurvivable storm surge" expected in some areas, according to the National Hurricane Center.The storm made landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border early Thursday as a powerful Category 4 hurricane."Unsurvivable storm surge with large and destructive waves will cause catastrophic damage from Sea Rim State Park, Texas, to Intracoastal City, Louisiana, including Calcasieu and Sabine Lakes," the weather service said in a statement early Thursday. "This surge could penetrate up to 30 miles inland from the immediate coastline. Only a few hours remain to protect life and property and all actions should be rushed to completion."Parts of eastern Texas and western Louisiana are forecast to see "catastrophic wind damage," especially in places where the storm's eyewall came ashore, the National Hurricane Center said. Residents in affected areas were urged to evacuate and brace for damaging winds and flooding rainfall that will spread well inland across parts of those areas.Here's how the news is developing today. All times Eastern. Please refresh this page for updates.9:41 a.m.: Louisiana governor reports 1st known storm-related death-A 14-year-old girl in Louisiana is the first known fatality from Hurricane Laura, according to Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards.Edwards confirmed the death during an interview Thursday morning with MSNBC, saying that the girl died when a tree fell on her home in the Leesville area."I suspect that won't be the last, though I pray we don't have any more," Edwards told MSNBC. "But we know we have at least one fatality now in Louisiana."9:25 a.m.: 508,109 customers without power in Louisiana and Texas-Power outages across Louisiana and Texas climbed to more than half a million customers on Thursday morning, as Hurricane Laura battered the coastline.By 8:15 a.m. ET, there were 403,921 customers without power in Louisiana and 104,188 customers without power in Texas.8:30 a.m.: 'Those evacuations did save lives,' Texas governor says-Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said no deaths have been reported in the state so far, which he noted was "really premature" as Hurricane Laura "continues to sweep through Texas in an unprecedented fashion.""Because it's not just where the surge came in, but going up north and Jasper and Center Texas, all the way up to Marshall, Texas," Abbott told "Good Morning America." "So in northeast Texas, a hurricane is going through there for as far as I know the first time ever, so this is truly unprecedented."As many as 10,000 people have evacuated their homes in Texas, particularly in the southeastern area of the state along the coast and near the border with Louisiana, according to Abbott."It could have been a lifesaver," he said. "That may be one reason why we don't have any reports of loss of life yet. We still don't know how many people may be injured. We will be learning that here shortly as the sun rises, and we have search and rescue teams in place to make sure that everybody is going to be safe."Abbott emphasized the importance of early evacuations ahead of a powerful hurricane like Laura."Those evacuations did save lives," he said.7:56 a.m.: Dozens of families didn't evacuate, Louisiana lieutenant governor says-Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser said he's heard of dozens of families who didn't heed evacuation orders and decided to stay behind."Some people just don't want to leave their belongings," Nungesser told ABC News in an interview Thursday on "Good Morning America." "It's hard to get them to leave sometimes."Nungesser recalled his own decision to ride out Hurricane Katrina back in 2005, as the large Category 5 storm battered New Orleans."I know what I went through," he said. "Not a good decision.Emergency crews will be dispatched to check on residents and survey the damage "as soon as it's safe" to do so, according to the lieutenant governor."We're hopeful that we don't find people that didn't make it," he added.7:18 a.m.: Woman describes moment storm rips roof off home as family hides under kitchen table-Ashley Thompson and her family decided to ride out the hurricane at their home in Louisiana, where many residents were ordered to evacuate."We thought we were safe. We had generators, we had windows boarded up," Thompson said in telephone interview Thursday on "Good Morning America."But the storm ended up being "much worse" than they thought, she said. The winds picked up in the early morning hours around 2 a.m., as Hurricane Laura made landfall on Louisiana's shores as a Category 4."We got our family in our home under the kitchen table," she said. "After being under the kitchen table for about five minutes, we lost our roof."Thompson and her family ran from their home and broke into a nearby house that was empty and under construction. They took cover there with other families in the neighborhood who were also riding out the storm.Thompson said there are felled trees and power lines in their neighborhood and they hope first responders will come as soon as weather conditions improve."We are safe and everyone is unhurt," she said. "But when they become available and people start moving, we will need help."6:22 a.m.: Laura weakens to Category 2 hurricane, hundreds of thousands without power in Texas, Louisiana-Laura weakened further Thursday morning and is now a Category 2 hurricane with winds up to 110 mph. Hurricane conditions are spreading farther inland across southwestern Louisiana.Hurricane Laura is now about 45 miles north, northwest of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and is still moving north at 15 mph.Alexandria, Louisiana, is seeing wind gusts up to 85 mph while winds at Beauregard Regional Airport are gusting up to 82 mph.There is still a tornado watch in effect for much of Louisiana, eastern Texas, and southwest Mississippi.

Laura builds toward Category 4 hurricane as it barrels toward US coast-‘Some areas when they wake up Thursday morning, they’re not going to believe what happened,’ official at National Hurricane Center warns as residents of Texas and Louisiana flee-By JEFF MARTIN, John Mone and STACEY PLAISANCE-aug 26,20-Today, 3:59 pm
GALVESTON, Texas (AP) — Hurricane Laura is forecast to rapidly power up into a “catastrophic” Category 4 hurricane, even stronger than previously expected, as it churns toward Texas and Louisiana, gathering wind and water that swirls over much of the Gulf of Mexico.Satellite images show that Laura has become “a formidable hurricane” in recent hours, threatening to smash homes and sink entire communities. It has undergone a remarkable intensification, “and there are no signs it will stop soon,” the National Hurricane Center said in an update early Wednesday.“Some areas when they wake up Thursday morning, they’re not going to believe what happened,” Stacy Stewart, a senior hurricane specialist at the hurricane center, said Wednesday.“We could see storm surge heights more than 15 feet in some areas,” Stewart said. “What doesn’t get blown down by the wind could easily get knocked down by the rising ocean waters pushing well inland.”Laura has grown nearly 70% in power in just 24 hours, with maximum sustained winds increasing to 110 mph (175 kph) with higher gusts, forecasters said early Wednesday.“We are expecting widespread power outages, trees down. Homes and businesses will be damaged,” said Donald Jones, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which is near the bullseye of Laura’s forecast track.“I’m telling you, this is going to be a very serious situation,” Jones said.A family walks to a charter bus that will evacuate them from Galveston Island to Austin in anticipation of impact from Hurricane Laura, August 25, 2020, at the Galveston Housing Authority offices in Galveston. (Mark Mulligan/Houston Chronicle via AP)-A Category 4 hurricane will do catastrophic damage: “Power outages will last weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months,” the weather service says.In the largest US evacuation of the pandemic, more than half a million people were ordered Tuesday to flee from an area of the Gulf Coast along the Texas-Louisiana state line.More than 385,000 residents were told to flee the Texas cities of Beaumont, Galveston and Port Arthur, and another 200,000 were ordered to leave low-lying Calcasieu Parish in southwestern Louisiana, where forecasters said as much as 13 feet (4 meters) of storm surge topped by waves could submerge whole communities.The situation could be even worse in Cameron Parish, which could soon be under water.“Cameron parish is going to part of the Gulf of Mexico for a couple of days based on this forecast track,” Jones said.In Galveston and Port Arthur, Texas, mandatory evacuation orders went into effect shortly before daybreak Tuesday. “If you decide to stay, you’re staying on your own,” Port Arthur Mayor Thurman Bartie said.Southwest Louisiana residents wait for buses at Burton Coliseum in Lake Charles, La. to be evacuated to a shelter in Alexandria, Louisiana, August 25, 2020. (Rick Hickman/American Press via AP)-Forecasters expect the storm’s top winds to increase to 130 mph (209 kmh) before landfall, pushing water onto more than 450 miles (724 kilometers) of coast from Texas to Mississippi. Hurricane warnings were issued from San Luis Pass, Texas, to Intracoastal City, Louisiana, and storm surge warnings from the Port Arthur, Texas, flood protection system to the mouth of the Mississippi River.Laura also is expected to dump massive rainfall over a short period of time as it moves inland, causing widespread flash flooding in states far from the coast. Flash flood watches were issued for much of Arkansas, and forecasters said the risk of heavy rainfall will move to parts of Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky late Friday and Saturday.Fearing that people would not evacuate in time, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said those in southwest Louisiana need to reach wherever they intend to ride out the storm by noon Wednesday, when the state will start feeling the storm’s effects.Officials urged people to stay with relatives or in hotel rooms to avoid spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. Buses were stocked with protective equipment and disinfectant, and they would carry fewer passengers to keep people apart, Texas officials said.Whitney Frazier, 29, of Beaumont spent Tuesday morning trying to get transportation to a high school where she could board a bus to leave the area.“Especially with everything with COVID going on already on top of a mandatory evacuation, it’s very stressful,” Frazier said.6Shelters opened with cots set farther apart to curb coronavirus infections. People planning to enter shelters were told to bring just one bag of personal belongings each, and a mask to reduce the spread of coronavirus.“Hopefully it’s not that threatening to people, to lives, because people are hesitant to go anywhere due to COVID,” Robert Duffy said as he placed sandbags around his home in Morgan City, Louisiana. “Nobody wants to sleep on a gym floor with 200 other people. It’s kind of hard to do social distancing.”

Phillip)-The hurricane is threatening a center of the US energy industry. The government said 84% of Gulf oil production and an estimated 61% of natural gas production were shut down. Nearly 300 platforms have been evacuated.While oil prices often spike before a major storm as production slows, consumers are unlikely to see big price changes because the pandemic decimated demand for fuel.
Laura passed Cuba after killing nearly two dozen people on the island of Hispaniola, including 20 in Haiti and three in the Dominican Republic, where it knocked out power and caused intense flooding. The deaths reportedly included a 10-year-old girl whose home was hit by a tree and a mother and young son crushed by a collapsing wall.Laura’s arrival comes just days before the August 29 anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which breached the levees in New Orleans, flattened much of the Mississippi coast and killed as many as 1,800 people in 2005. Less than a month later, Hurricane Rita struck southwest Louisiana as a Category 3 storm.
