Hospital heads said to unanimously agree Israel heading to 3rd wave of virus-In videoconference with Health Ministry chief, officials said to warn there will be a third, if not fourth, virus surge before vaccines end pandemic-By TOI staff-26 November 2020, 9:31 pm
Hospital heads in Israel unanimously agree that the country is heading into a third wave of coronavirus infections, a report said Thursday, after the nation surpassed 1,000 new daily cases for the first time in a month.According to the report by Channel 12 news, the hospital chiefs issued the warning in a videoconference meeting on Wednesday with Health Ministry Director-General Chezy Levy.The officials reportedly agreed they expect at least one more surge of infections, if not two, before the epidemic is brought to an end in Israel through a vaccination program.An unnamed source who attended the meeting told the network that all of the hospital chiefs agreed with the assessment that a surge in virus cases was on its way, and that the currently-low number of hospitalizations was only a result of the second national lockdown.Health Ministry Director-General Chezy Levy during a press conference in Jerusalem, on July 13, 2020. (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)-The source said that Levy did not give his opinion on the matter.The warning from the health officials came as Israel surpassed 1,000 virus cases a day for the first time in a month, according to Health Ministry figures released Thursday morning.The milestone is the latest indication that the spread of the virus may be re-accelerating, even as the government pushes ahead with reopening the country from its second lockdown.There were 1,068 new cases diagnosed on Wednesday — 1.8 percent of the 60,463 test results returned, the ministry figures showed. The last time Israel saw daily cases above a thousand was October 22.After topping 9,000 on Wednesday for the first time in nearly three weeks, the active number of coronavirus cases in the country rose to 9,422 out of a total 332,317 cases since the pandemic’s beginning.Of those sick with COVID-19, 282 are in serious condition, of whom 122 people are on ventilators.A Magen David Adom worker takes a patient to the coronavirus unit at the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital in Jerusalem, on November 1, 2020. (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)Despite the rising figures, cabinet ministers overnight approved a pilot plan to reopen 15 malls around the country.Outdoor market areas and some museums will also be allowed to reopen as part of the pilot plan, which aims to test the efficacy of virus safety guidelines.The malls will be allowed to open on Friday and remain open until December 6. The mall owners pushed to have the shops open by Friday to take advantage of Black Friday sales.Israel imposed a monthlong lockdown on September 18 that succeeded in bringing down surging infection rates but also paralyzed much of the economy and public life, as well as shuttering the entire education system. The government has since begun lifting the restrictions but health officials have sounded alarms as the drop in infection rates first slowed, and then reversed.Israelis stand in line outside a clothing shop advertising Black Friday sales in Tel Aviv, on November 25, 2020. (Miriam Alster/FLASH90)-Senior health officials have warned repeatedly about the necessity for a possible third national lockdown in Israel to contain the coronavirus, warning against further easing of restrictions until an additional drop in infections.The virus’s basic reproduction number — the average number of people each virus carrier infects — rose above 1 in the last days of October for the first time since the second national lockdown began to be rolled back earlier that month, and continued to rise before slackening slightly in early November.Figures released Wednesday, which were based on new case numbers from 10 days earlier due to the virus’s incubation period, showed the figure at 1.06.A basic reproduction number of over 1 indicates that case numbers will begin to expand exponentially.The coronavirus cabinet, a forum of ministers dealing with the outbreak, had initially decided that the lockdown exit should only start if the transmission rate is under 0.8. Under the Health Ministry’s plan, rollback measures are supposed to be halted if the rate rises. The government has ignored that benchmark, however, pressing on with easing restrictions.
UAE-Israel tourism'As soon as we heard it's open, it went on our bucket list'-UAE welcomes Israeli tourists, but can they follow its authoritarian rules?-Groundbreaking peace deal rapidly grows kosher hospitality to make the Emirates a hot destination for wanderlust Sabras, but local Jews warn of strictly enforced social norms-By Sam Sokol-26 November 2020, 10:03 pm
JTA — Chevy Fleischman and a friend travel far from their home country of Israel each year to celebrate their birthdays together. Last year they flew to Morocco. The year before they had vacationed in Peru.For the next adventure Fleischman, an Orthodox mother of five, is hoping to visit a country that’s closer to home but Israelis couldn’t even enter until recently: the United Arab Emirates. She’s looking forward to lounging on the beach, exploring the streets of Dubai and enjoying views of the desert.She’s also excited to visit a place where she won’t have to lug a suitcase full of kosher food, as she has on previous trips. Dubai’s first kosher restaurant, Kaf, opened recently in the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Multiple hotels are also offering kosher food.“We’ve wanted to go somewhere else in the Middle East for years, but I was born in Israel and couldn’t go places,” Fleischman told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “We have been waiting for an opportunity to travel to [another] Mideast country and experience it, and as soon as we heard Dubai was going to open up, that was on our bucket list.”The UAE, a small and wealthy nation just over three hours away from Tel Aviv by air, is hoping to be the next hot tourist destination for Israelis. The two countries signed a normalization agreement on the White House lawn this year that allowed full diplomatic relations and trade between the countries. The treaty was a historic breakthrough in Israel’s decades-long quest for relations with the Arab world.Illustrative: Rabbi Yaakov Eisenstein (R) supervises the preparation of food Elli’s Kosher Kitchen, in Dubai, on October 5, 2020 (GIUSEPPE CACACE / AFP)-For ordinary Israelis, perhaps the biggest change is the added destination to their itineraries. Because Israel is so small, international travel is common, and Israelis love to take advantage of cheap flights to nearby Europe and elsewhere. Young Israelis recently discharged from the army often take longer trips to far-off places like India or South America.The UAE hopes to market itself as a cheap and easy option for a weekend getaway, especially as Israelis chafe at months of being cooped up at home. Israeli airlines have already registered significant interest from would-be travelers, and airlines are exploring the potential of the UAE as a spot for corporate retreats, group tours and package deals. An agreement waiving visa requirements between the two countries was signed in October, making it easier for Israelis to travel to the UAE than to the United States.The first planeload of Israeli tourists arrived in Dubai earlier this month. On Monday El Al, Israel’s national carrier, announced that it would be offering 14 flights to the UAE every week starting next month. Other airlines also plan to launch flights between the two countries beginning in December.It’s unclear how the pandemic and the economic crisis it sparked will affect tourism numbers. But some Israelis are already making plans.Illustrative: UAE delegates wave to the departing El Al plane at the end of the Israel-UAE normalization talks, with the US, in Abu Dhabi, September 1, 2020. (El Al spokesperson’s office)-“The people seem to be warm and friendly and [the] sights well worth seeing,” said Rona Michelson, an Israeli tour guide. “The Emirates look as if they have lots to offer.” Michelson said she is already planning a tour there but did not offer a detailed itinerary.Any tour would likely include the city’s major sightseeing and retail attractions, such as the Burj Khalifa, the Louvre Abu Dhabi art museum, the indoor Warner Bros. World theme park and the Dubai Mall, which boasts some 1,300 stores. Tourists may also visit the Palm Jumeirah archipelago, a chain of artificial islands.But some Israelis are wary of patronizing a constitutional monarchy known for its repression of civil liberties. According to a report this year by Human Rights Watch, freedom of expression in the UAE is limited and “especially in cases related to state security, individuals were at serious risk of arbitrary and incommunicado detention, torture, and ill-treatment, prolonged solitary confinement, and denial of access to legal assistance.”“Israelis do not understand that Emirati people are not like the Palestinian or Egyptian people they’ve come into contact with,” said Claire Blumenthal, a Jewish American who has lived in both countries for extended periods. “Drinking is not illegal, but if you’re in the street you cannot act as if you’ve had a drink. You’ll be fined and jailed.”Penalties for smoking weed can be even more severe, she said.“This is not Sinai,” she said, referencing the Egyptian desert adjacent to Israel where Israelis have long traveled to get high. “This is Dubai. You’ll get jail for life. While Dubai is a major party scene, you cannot do anything out in the open, and I need Israelis to know and understand the place they are going to.”A poster of a woman in headphones dancing is displayed on a wall at Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach Residence on November 16, 2020. (Giuseppe CACACE / AFP)-Traveling to the country may also pose a danger to women. In 2016, a British woman was arrested after reporting being raped by two of her countrymen while on vacation in Dubai. According to Human Rights Watch, “women who report rape can find themselves prosecuted for consensual sex instead” under an article of the UAE penal code that prohibits “indecent assault.”“Dubai struggles to maintain its promoted reputation of being tolerant, modern, progressive and focussed on happiness and positivity, while it regularly victimises women for reporting crime,” Radha Stirling, the founder of the advocacy group Detained in Dubai, wrote in the Independent, a British newspaper, in 2016. “All of the glamour, glitz and fireworks displays in the world press cannot disguise the negative image that incidences like this one generate.”Thani AlShirawi, a founding member of the recently established UAE-Israel Business Council, said the UAE is making an effort to teach its citizens “indoctrinated tolerance” toward foreign visitors, including Israelis. In addition to kosher food at hotels, an Emirati soccer team, Al-Nasr Dubai, just signed Dia Saba, who plays on the Israeli national team.AlShirawi believes Israelis will feel even more comfortable visiting his country than Egypt and Jordan, neighboring states with whom Israel has been at peace for decades, because Israel and the Emirates have never fought a war.Illustrative: Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, left, greets UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan as German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas looks on during a visit of the Holocaust memorial prior to their historic meeting in Berlin, on October 6, 2020. (MICHELE TANTUSSI / POOL / AFP)“We have to give a lot of credit to our leadership because they have indoctrinated tolerance and to accept everybody,” he said.Members of the Jewish community in Dubai, which has remained mostly under the radar until recently and which is composed of expats from around the world, are also excited about the potential influx of Israelis. According to estimates, up to 1,500 Jews live in the UAE.“I think what we’ve done up until now is build the basic structure for Jewish communal life, but in the future the structure will be used to create a fully fledged and mature community,” Ross Kriel, president of the Jewish Council of the Emirates, said in August. “We imagine schools, a vibrant community center, multiple places of worship, kosher restaurants and all the dimensions of vibrant communal life.”Regardless of what the country offers, and when exactly they’ll be able to go, some Israelis are thrilled simply at the prospect of being able to travel to another country that is so close but had been closed off until this year.“I’m extremely excited about it [and] will fly at the first opportunity,” Yoni Mann, an American immigrant living in Jerusalem, told JTA. “It’s exciting to finally see what looks like a warm peace brewing with our Arab cousins.”

Israel’s Bank Hapoalim signs accords with Dubai, Abu Dhabi financial hubs-‘Historic’ agreements will enable the lender to give customers easier access to banks, investors, and tech firms that are part of the DIFC and ADGM financial centers-By SHOSHANNA SOLOMON-Today, 4:04 pm
Israel’s Bank Hapoalim Ltd. said Sunday it has signed “historic” agreements with two financial centers in the UAE, enabling the lender to give its customers easier access to the network of banks, investors, regulators and tech firms that are part of the financial centers.Hapoalim said it signed memorandums of understanding with the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), a financial center located on the Al Maryah Island in the capital city of the UAE, and with the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC).The centers are special economic zones that act as financial hubs for the Middle East, Africa and South Asia markets. They generally have their own independent, internationally regulated rules and judicial system, a common law framework, a global financial exchange, and a tax friendly regime. The districts house hundreds of financial institutions, including wealth funds and private investors as well as multinationals.The cooperation will enable Bank Hapoalim to offer its clients easier access to the UAE via the financial centers’ network of firms, and give entrepreneurs in the financial technologies sector access to the accelerator programs run by these centers, which will provide them with office space as well as connections to banks and financial institutions to test out their technologies.Head of business development division of ADGM Steve Barnet, right to left, Bank Hapoalim represntatives to the UAE Asaf Azulay and Karen Mazor and senior executive director, Capital Markets of ADGM, Wai Lum (Courtesy)-ADGM started operations in 2015 and has played a key role in branding Abu Dhabi as a global financial center that connects developing economies in the Middle East, Africa and the South of Asia to the rest of the world. There are more than 3,000 organizations and financial institutions operating from the center, including investment bodies and startups. The organization has signed 116 cooperation agreements with financial entities from across the world.DIFC, set up in 2004, was the first financial hub set up in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia region. It has 2,584 registered companies operating from the hub, among which are banks, investment firms and legal offices, with 25,600 employees.The accord will enable Bank Hapoalim to access banking and fintech opportunities in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) from Dubai, the DIFC said in a separate statement, adding that the sides will work together in sharing knowledge, hosting delegations and promoting industry events.Dov Kotler, the CEO of Bank Hapoalim, will be speaking at a fintech conference in Abu Dhabi on November 26, and the bank will be leading a business delegation to Dubai in December. As part of the visit, the bank’s officials and representatives of the DIFC will meet to finalize details of the cooperation.

ArchaeologyOnly gold bead ever found in earth sifted from Temple Mount-Gold bead, apparently lost on Temple Mount 3,000 years ago, found by 9-year-old-When Binyamin Milt uncovered the bead as he sifted earth for Temple Mount Sifting Project, it was so well-preserved that archaeologists initially didn’t realize its unique nature-By Amanda Borschel-Dan-26 November 2020, 7:29 pm
A first ever First Temple-era gold granule bead was discovered during wet sifting of earth from the Temple Mount by a nine-year-old. Jerusalemite Binyamin Milt uncovered the perfectly preserved minute cylinder, created by four layers of tiny gold balls.The bead was in such outstanding condition that it was initially dismissed as a modern “invader” into the jumbled earth and artifact bucket that the Milt family was sifting.The family was sifting through dirt for the Temple Mount Sifting Project, which salvaged tons of dirt that were discarded in the Kidron Valley between 1996 and 1999 by the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement during a large-scale building project on the Temple Mount, a site holy to all three monotheistic religions. Volunteers have for the past 16 years been sorting through the jumble of debris and earth that was illegally excavated from the Temple Mount, the holiest place in Judaism and site of the third holiest shrine in Islam.Nine-year-old Milt found the bead in August, but its unique nature was only recognized recently, the Temple Mount Sifting Project said on Thursday, after project co-director Prof. Gabriel Barkay took a closer look. The dating of the bead has now been drastically adjusted back to the First Temple period, based on examples Barkay had excavated at Ketef Hinnom, located next to the Menachem Begin Center in Jerusalem.In the late 1970s, Barkay recovered several almost-identical silver beads that were manufactured using the same “granulation” technique as the newly found gold bead at the site where the silver priestly blessing scrolls — considered the oldest written example from the Hebrew Bible — were uncovered, along with troves of jewelry and other artifacts. According to Barkay, granulation is a decorative technique also known from Phoenician and Etruscan jewelry.9-year-old Binyamin Milt at the Jerusalem-based Temple Mount Sifting Project, August 2020. (courtesy)-Similar beads were also found at other Holy Land sites in contexts ranging from the 13th century BCE up to the 4th century BCE, with the overwhelming majority dating to the Iron Age (12th century BCE up to the 6th century BCE), according to the Sifting Project.Tel Aviv University Prof. Benjamin Sass said that such granule beads are known from the Late Bronze Age and even potentially from the Middle Bronze Age. They are found in all stages of the Iron Age, in the Helenistic era, through possibly the Roman era.Project co-director Zachi Dvira said that what makes this unique find even more curious is that it is extremely rare to find gold jewelry outside of graves or treasure troves.Dvira acknowledges that when looking at the tiny, 6 mm diameter and 4 mm high bead, “It’s difficult to explain why a bead is so interesting and important. But it’s very curious whose bead it was,” he explained to The Times of Israel. “It’s not like today when everyone can have gold jewelry, back then it was very rare, and not for the common people.”Gold jewelry was usually recycled from generation to generation, said Dvira, such that the discovery of even a small gold bead is rare in archaeological contexts.Archaeologist Zachi Dvira on the Temple Mount, June 18, 2018. (Amanda Borschel-Dan/Times of Israel)-Though the bead is itsy bitsy, he described it as “heavy” due to the purity of the metal and the highly specialized granulation methodology used to form it. This handmade bead is fashioned from four layers, each made of tiny gold balls that adhere to each other, but more simple examples were made of a single circular layer.According to Dvira, the process of granule formation used by artisans of the time was complex, involving several stages and a number of components. It requires the ability to melt the metal at high temperatures, and a high level of skill from the artisan. He told The Times of Israel it is still unclear whether this level of skill was found in the Land of Israel during the First Temple period, but that research is ongoing.To create the bead, Dvira said, “The granules are shaped from tiny metal pieces which are melted on a bed of charcoal or charcoal powder, which adsorbs air, preventing oxidation. Once the metal melts, [the] surface tension of the liquid creates ball-shaped drops. An alternative method involves dripping the liquid metal from a height into a bowl and constantly stirring the drops.”A First Temple-era gold bead discovered in earth from the Temple Mount Sifting Project. (courtesy)-The technique of wet sifting used by the project may be the key to the small bead’s discovery.“Because we are sifting, we find relatively a lot of jewelry,” said Dvira, but not a lot of gold, especially not from such an early period. In the past 15 years, through the help of some 200,000 paying volunteers, the project has recovered over 500,000 artifacts, including 5,000 coins, inscriptions, mountains of pottery, Egyptian-era cultic items, jewelry, and remnants of warfare.Dvira emphasized that the project is continuing its work at its new home at the Masu’ot Lookout in spite of the the coronavirus crisis, under the government social distancing guidelines (“Tav Sagol”) and through the help of American Friends of Beit Orot and the Israel Archaeology Foundation. The project works under the scientific auspices of Bar-Ilan University and a revolving staff of a dozen archaeologists supervise the volunteers working from the 20 tables set up for the wet sifting.Dvira is hopeful that the bead was part of a bracelet or necklace that may have left behind other beads.“If there’s a bead from gold, the person didn’t have just one bead, he or she had a whole piece of jewelry from gold,” Dvira said.
Op-Ed-Who made the bomb? The full truth about Lockerbie is still not being told-As relatives of the 1 man convicted for blowing up Pan Am Flight 103 try to posthumously clear him, potentially crucial evidence of a Palestinian terrorist’s role is again withheld-By David Horovitz-26 November 2020, 12:12 pm
The bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on December 21, 1988, remains the worst act of terrorism ever carried out in Britain. More than 30 years after the downing of the Boeing 747, with the loss of all 259 on board and 11 more on the ground, the question of who was responsible has never been fully and satisfactorily resolved.Only one man has ever been convicted in the case, a Libyan intelligence agent named Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who was jailed for life on 270 counts of murder by a Scottish court in 2001, released in 2009 because he had terminal cancer, and died in 2012. The court found that Megrahi purchased clothing in Malta that was packed into the Samsonite suitcase in which the bomb — a barometric pressure device built into a Toshiba radio-cassette recorder — was hidden, and that he placed the suitcase on a flight from Malta to London’s Heathrow Airport. At Heathrow, the suitcase was transferred to the New York-bound Pan Am flight, and the explosives then detonated a little more than half an hour after takeoff. His alleged Libyan co-conspirator Lamin Fhimah was acquitted in the 2001 trial. Nobody has been convicted for making the deadly device.Megrahi went to his grave protesting his innocence, and his family continues to fight to clear his name. This week, Scotland’s highest criminal court is hearing his relatives’ latest appeal against his conviction, after an independent review determined that he might have been the victim of a miscarriage of justice. Among other flaws, the defense is highlighting that the Maltese shopkeeper who identified Megrahi as the man who purchased the incriminating clothing in the suitcase, and whose evidence has always been controversial, was paid for his testimony, a fact that was not disclosed to the defense in the original trial.** An earlier version of this Editor’s Note was sent out Wednesday in ToI’s weekly update email to members of the Times of Israel Community. To receive these Editor’s Notes as they’re released, join the ToI Community here.I have followed the Lockerbie case since the time of the bombing, when I was working for The Jerusalem Post as its London correspondent, and when I happened to see material in the early stages of the investigation that pointed not to Col. Gaddafi’s Libya, but rather to Iran and the Palestinian terrorist organization PFLP-GC — the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command. Earlier in 1988, the US Navy’s guided-missile cruiser USS Vincennes had shot down an Iran Air Airbus in the Persian Gulf, killing all 290 passengers and crew, in a tragic case of mistaken identity. The US said it had misidentified the civilian airliner as a fighter jet. Iran had promised to avenge the deaths. Ayatollah Khomeini had vowed that the skies would “rain blood.”Floral tributes laid at the memorial to the victims of Pan Am flight 103 bombing, in the garden of remembrance at Dryfesdale Cemetery, near Lockerbie, Scotland. December 21, 2018 (AP Photo/Scott Heppell)-The PFLP-GC was believed to have been paid $10 million to carry out the Lockerbie bombing; it certainly had the bomb-making expertise, having become notorious in the 1970s for a series of terrorist attacks on airplanes.Just weeks before the Lockerbie blast, four devices strikingly similar to the one that would soon be utilized to such devastating effect on Flight 103 had been found in the possession of PFLP-GC members arrested in a Frankfurt suburb. That PFLP-GC cell was reported at the time to have been planning to blow up planes heading to the US and Israel. Its bombs, like those the PFLP-GC had used in the past, and like the Lockerbie device, were detonated by a barometric pressure device and timer, activated when a plane reaches a certain altitude. A fifth bomb in the Frankfurt cell’s possession was said to have disappeared; this was presumed to be the device that blew up Flight 103.The Lockerbie investigators were initially following these leads; then they shifted their focus to Libya. In 2003, Gaddafi accepted responsibility for the bombing — though he denied ordering it — and paid compensation to the victims’ families, in accordance with UN demands for the lifting of sanctions on his country.The PFLP-GC’s bombmaker-Almost seven years ago, a colleague of mine at The Times of Israel noticed that a man named Marwan Khreesat, a Jordanian national, maintained an Arabic-language Facebook page in which he had taken to posting pictures of the Lockerbie bombing. Khreesat was the PFLP-GC’s bombmaker-in-chief, the alleged maker of those barometric-pressure devices. He was one of those who was arrested by the German authorities in Frankfurt, only to be inexplicably released soon afterward. Now he was promising to reveal the truth about Lockerbie — to “write about Pan Am 103,” including “who was on the flight and the circumstances of the incident.In his posts, Khreesat also connected himself to the bombing of an El Al plane from Rome to Tel Aviv in 1972, describing that attack as “a challenge to the Israeli intelligence agents who are responsible for searching luggage and everything that goes on a plane.” The 1972 El Al bomb — another barometric-pressure device — had been hidden in a record player that two British women were duped into carrying by two Arab men who were later arrested. Although the bomb exploded, the pilot was able to make an emergency landing. “It was a successful blow against the Israeli enemy,” Khreesat wrote in a March 14, 2014, Facebook post, in which he also described spending time with PFLP-GC chief Ahmed Jibril in Rome as they waited for the attack to unfold.In several 2013-4 Facebook posts relating to Lockerbie, Khreesat recalled his arrest two months before the bombing. He posted pictures of the destroyed cockpit of the 747 after the explosion, the painstakingly reconstructed parts of the plane wreckage, and a radio-cassette recorder like the one that held the bomb. He also asked a series of unanswered questions about the attack. “Who did the operation?” he mused in a post on the 25th anniversary of the blast. “Israel? Iran? Libya? Who carried the Toshiba explosive device [in which the bomb was hidden]?… Did the explosive device come from Malta airport like the American intelligence agencies say?… When will these riddles be solved.”A collection of Lockerbie-related pictures posted by Marwan Khreesat on his Facebook page-This week’s appeal by the Megrahi family was green-lighted by the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission in part because of “nondisclosure” of evidence to the defense team in the original trial. Some of that documentary evidence is widely reported to have been provided by Jordan’s late King Hussein and to not only to implicate the PFLP-GC in the Lockerbie atrocity, but to specify that Marwan Khreesat built the bomb.On Friday, however, the head of the Scottish judiciary, Lord Carloway, ruled that the documents must still be withheld on the grounds of national security. Accepting a secrecy order signed by British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, Carloway explained, “[Raab’s] clear view is [that the release of the documentation] would cause real harm to the national security of the UK because it would damage counter-terrorism liaison and intelligence gathering between the UK and other states… The documents had been provided in confidence to the government. Their disclosure would reduce the willingness of the state, which produced the documents, to confide information and to co-operate with the UK.”Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, who was found guilty of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing and sentenced to life imprisonment, is greeted by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, in Tripoli, Libya on August 21, 2009, following his release on compassionate grounds because he had terminal cancer. He died in May 2012 (photo credit: AP Photo/Jamahiriya Broadcasting via APTN)-It was ‘clear that Jibril prepared the operation’All manner of conspiracy theories surround the Lockerbie bombing, some of which do not rule out the involvement of Libya and Megrahi, most of which revolve around the fact that nobody has been prosecuted for making the bomb, and many of which focus on the PFLP-GC and Marwan Khreesat.Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to raise the question of the Lockerbie bombing with several former Israeli intelligence figures, who were in office at the time of the bombing and well aware of the activities of the PFLP-GC at the time. Two of them insisted without elaboration that “Libya did it” and brushed away further questions. A third, by contrast, told me it was “clear that Jibril prepared the operation.”Israel was “listening in” on the PFLP-GC during the months prior to Lockerbie, he said, and hearing about preparations for what “we thought was a plan to target an Israeli plane.” There was a “huge alert” in the Israeli security establishment because of indications that the PFLP-GC was about to strike, this source went on. “We told the British and the Americans what we knew, which was that there was an intention to hit an Israeli plane… We didn’t warn about a British or an American plane because we didn’t know that,” he said.A photo taken on December 22, 1988, shows local Lockerbie resident Robert Love (R) looking at one of the four engines of the Pan Am 747 Jumbo jet that exploded and crashed en route to New York with 259 passengers on board. (ROY LETKEY / AFP)-The new appeal hearing is expected to conclude this week, with a ruling at a later date. “It is submitted in this case that no reasonable jury, properly directed, could have returned the verdict that it did, namely the conviction of Mr. Megrahi,” the defense lawyer Claire Mitchell told the judges on Tuesday. But that argument will be harder to make without those “Jordanian” documents, which the defense has said are central to the appeal. If his relatives fail to have Megrahi’s conviction overturned, their allegation of a miscarriage of justice will linger.Marwan Khreesat died in 2016.His Facebook page is still online.But he never did tell the truth about Lockerbie.

Jordan warns against changing status of Temple Mt., after Netanyahu’s Saudi trip-Jordanian ex-aides say Israel could seek to hand custodianship of the Jerusalem holy site to Saudi Arabia, in effort to secure ‘the big prize’ of normalization-By TOI staff-NOV 27,20-Today, 5:25 am
Jordan said it opposes any effort to change the status quo at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City, following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trip to Saudi Arabia this week.In a statement Wednesday, the Jordanian foreign ministry said it rejects “attempts to alter the historical and legal status quo” at the Temple Mount, known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif or Al-Aqsa Mosque.“The kingdom will continue its efforts to protect and care for the mosque, and preserve the rights of all Muslims to it in compliance with the Hashemite custodianship of Jerusalem’s Muslim and Christian holy sites,” spokesman Daifallah al-Fayez said, according to the Guardian.The comments came after Netanyahu held talks Sunday with Saudi Arabia’s powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Saudi Red Sea city of Neom, along with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, reportedly including discussions on Iran and normalization.The warming ties between Jerusalem and Riyadh are raising concerns in Amman that Israel could seek to shift custodianship over the Temple Mount from the Jordanians to the Saudis. Jordan’s Hashemite monarchy has been custodian of the site since 1924.The Waqf, a Jordanian-appointed council, oversees Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem. It claims exclusive authority over the Temple Mount compound and says it is not subject to Israeli jurisdiction. Tensions often escalate at the site.“Historically, the religious aspect was key in the legitimacy of the ruler and the Hashemites, after leaving Hejaz, derive their legitimacy from Jerusalem,” Adnan Abu-Odeh, a former senior aide to King Abdullah and his father Hussein, told the Guardian.“Israel practices pressure and extortion over Jordan with the custodianship matter and they threaten to give it to the Saudis and it is not far fetched, and I believe his majesty the king understands that,” he added.Echoing that sentiment, ex-foreign minister Jawad Anani said Saudi Arabia was “the big prize” for Netanyahu.“Many Jordanians … [are] being vigilant about this. Netanyahu … might find it to be worthwhile giving this to the Saudi royal family rather than keep it with the Hashemites because that would probably bring him the prize he’s seeking, which is open and declared normalization with Saudi Arabia,” Anani said.Though such a move could lead to improved ties with Saudi Arabia, former British diplomat Sir John Jenkins warned of the possible security consequences for Israel.“It would radically crush the Hashemite monarchy and it would change the guarantee of sorts that Jordan has been providing for Israeli and regional security. It would be like throwing a grenade into a crowded room,” Jenkins, who was consul general in East Jerusalem and ambassador in Riyadh, told the newspaper.He also noted the possible appeal to the Saudis.“Iran has always challenged them on the legitimacy of their custodianship of Mecca and Medina. If they were to add a third shrine to their list, it could enhance their claims to be the absolute leaders of the Islamic world,” he said.Last year, Jordan’s King Abdullah II said he’s under pressure to alter his country’s historic role as custodian of the Jerusalem holy sites, but that he won’t change his position.“I will never change my position toward Jerusalem in my life,” Abdullah said at the time. “All my people are with me.”He did not specify what kind of pressure he was encountering.Jordan’s role as custodian was enshrined by the landmark Israeli-Jordanian peace agreement in 1994.Agencies contributed to this report.
Annexation currently not on the table, UK envoy Hotovely says-In first appearance with her Emirati and Bahraini colleagues, settlement advocate-turned diplomat says Israeli-Palestinian conflict needs to be ‘solved by direct dialogue’By Raphael Ahren-26 November 2020, 12:05 pm
The annexation of parts of the West Bank is not currently on the agenda, Israeli Ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely said Wednesday during a first public appearance with her counterparts from the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.During a webinar about the so-called Abraham Accords between those countries and Israel, the moderator asked Mansoor Abulhoul and Sheikh Fawaz bin Mohamed bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, the Emirati and Bahraini envoys to London, respectively, if an Israeli annexation would damage their countries’ diplomatic ties with Jerusalem.Before any of them could answer, Hotovely replied: “I think we should discuss that when it will be on the diplomatic table. It’s not.”The moderator, veteran UK journalist and politician Lord Daniel Finkelstein, accepted that reply and moved on to other questions.Hotovely, a former lawmaker for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, drew notice as one of Israel’s most prominent champions of the settlement movement. She was one of the first lawmakers to advocate for the annexation of the entire West Bank.Before she arrived in Britain to assume the ambassador post last month, she served as minister for settlement affairs, a position in which she continued to endorse plans to unilaterally apply sovereignty over large parts of the West Bank.Parts of Israel’s far-right are calling on Netanyahu to advance the annexation of at least parts of the West Bank before US President Donald Trump leaves the White House on January 20, as his successor, Joe Biden, is expected to block any such moves.Until August, Netanyahu had been vowing to unilaterally apply sovereignty over the entire Jordan Valley and all settlements across the West Bank, as envisioned by the Israeli-Palestinian peace plan the White House published earlier this year. But he agreed to temporarily suspend the plan as part of a US-brokered deal that saw the UAE fully normalize diplomatic relations with Israel.During the 75-minute webinar, hosted by the London-based Anglo-Israel Association, Hotovely did not otherwise address the issue of sovereignty. Her colleague from Abu Dhabi, on the other hand, cited several times the suspension of Netanyahu’s annexation bid in exchange for his government agreeing to normalize relations with Israel.“We’re determined to usher [in] a new era of peace in the Middle East. That is the urgent demand of our young people, who according to all opinion polls want to live in a functioning, stable and prosperous region,” Abulhoul said. “The decades of not talking to each other did not service the cause of peace. Already, we have seen how engagement with Israel allowed us to take the issue of annexation off the table — that preserved the two-state solution as a viable option.”The UAE’s commitment to the Palestinian cause remains firm, he stressed. “We still believe it is essential to help end this tragic dispute; that means a just settlement based on a two-state solution.”The UAE never said that the accords are a substitute for restarting Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, Abulhoul said. “Those talks of course have to come back, and progress on the matter must derive from direct dialogue between the Israelis and the Palestinians themselves. But certainly the accords will allow us to push for that outcome from our much more powerful position.”The Israeli-Palestinian should be solved by direct dialogueHistorically, it has been Arab states with diplomatic ties to Israel — Egypt and Jordan — that had the biggest influence over the Middle East peace process, he posited.“Once Palestinians will recognize the tangible benefits that have come from suspension of annexation [they] will come to understand and appreciate that countries that have a functioning relationship will have leverage and will be in a better place to help and support the Palestinians in coming years. But they must of course decide how they want us to help them.”Hotovely concurred. “You will be surprised I agree with Ambassador Mansour about the fact that [the Israeli-Palestinian] should be solved by direct dialogue,” she said.The international community needs to realize that neither the United Nations nor any other multilateral forum can solve the issue on behalf of the two sides, as long as the Palestinians refuse to negotiate with Israel, she added.Al-Khalifa, the Bahraini ambassador, also emphasized his government’s abiding commitment to the Palestinian cause. The Abraham Accords are the path to a better future for the entire Middle East, but “at the heart of this must be a resolution of this Israeli-Palestinian conflict, one based on a two-state solution that secures the rights of the Palestinian people,” he said.A pleasure participating in the @AngloIsraelAssn’s webinar today on the Abraham Accords & future of our region with my colleagues Ambassadors @MansoorAbulhoul & @TzipiHotovely. This was our first public engagement in the UK, looking forward to more constructive engagement. pic.twitter.com/njhsx5ulq1 — Fawaz Al Khalifa (@fawaz_alkhalifa) November 25, 2020All three ambassadors went to considerable lengths to highlight the positive aspects of the Abraham Accords and the dividends they each expect from their respective normalization agreements, stressing the rapid speed in which former enemies have become friends.“We are determined to build a warm peace. We want a deep relationship accompanying all aspects of national life. That means people-to-people contacts at all levels,” Abulhoul said.Hotovely certified that the new partnership amounts to a “warm peace,” adding that it symbolizes “a real shift in the region.”
PA says it conveyed to Biden administration interest in return to peace talks-Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki says Ramallah is in indirect contact with incoming Biden team, expresses cautious optimism about US president-elect-By Aaron Boxerman-26 November 2020, 11:35 pm
Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki told the Mediterranean Dialogues Forum on Thursday night that the PA had indirectly informed US President-elect Joe Biden’s incoming administration of its willingness to return to negotiations with Israel on the basis of international law resolutions.“Right now, we are sending clear messages, not only to the Israelis and to the Biden administration, but also to the Europeans and many others, that the Palestinians are ready to reengage completely, with Israel, in renewing negotiations with no preconditions, as long as such renewal is based on already recognized terms of reference — meaning UN resolutions, the Arab Peace Initiative, and international law,” al-Maliki said.It was not clear how the message had been conveyed, as al-Maliki later clarified the PA is only in indirect communication with the Biden transition team.“We indirectly have had contacts with his team, and we are hopeful that we will be able to reengage again with the new administration in Washington on January 20,” al-Maliki said.Then-US vice president Joe Biden, left, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, right, at the presidential compound in Ramallah, West Bank, March 9, 2016. (Debbie Hill, Pool via AP)Fatah deputy chief Mahmoud al-Aloul, a close confidante of PA President Mahmoud Abbas, told Voice of Palestine Radio on Monday that the PA had reached “a number of understandings” with the incoming administration’s transition team. Al-Aloul declined to comment further in his interview, saying that he did not want to rush matters.An Abbas spokesperson had said a week after Biden’s victory was called that the PA was willing to return to negotiations with Israel, as long as President Donald Trump’s controversial peace plan was dropped and both parties returned to negotiations “from the point where they last stopped.”Palestinian Authority officials had been openly hoping for Trump to be defeated by Biden. The PA consistently charged that the Trump administration was lopsidedly biased toward Israel, and severed all dealings with it after it recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017. The Trump administration, in turn, saw Ramallah as intransigent and unwilling to compromise.“We cut all ties with the Trump administration. We refused to take their phone calls for the last three years, and we paid the price for that,” al-Maliki said.Biden has promised to reverse several Trump administration policies that angered Ramallah, including restoring aid to Palestinian refugees and their descendants which the Trump administration cut in 2017. Biden is expected to oppose Israeli government efforts to annex parts of the West Bank, but not to reverse the Jerusalem recognition and embassy move.Al-Maliki stressed in his remarks Thursday night that he was cautiously optimistic about a Biden presidency.Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki attends the opening session of the Arab foreign ministers meeting ahead of the Arab Summit, in Tunis, March 29, 2019. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)“What we have read and heard in statements from Vice President-elect Kamala Harris regarding a rapprochement with the Palestinian Authority… has really demonstrated to us that there are enough reasons for us to reengage with the administration the moment they take office,” al-Maliki said, referring to an interview Harris gave with an Arab-American news outlet in October.In the aftermath of Biden’s victory, the PA also renewed its ties with Israel. Ramallah had severed all contacts with Jerusalem in the aftermath of Israel’s declared intention to annex parts of the West Bank in accordance with Trump’s controversial peace plan. That plan has since been shelved as Israel reached normalization deals with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan.“Our stance was clear: As long as there was an intention to annex, the Palestinian leadership considered itself absolved of its agreements with Israel,” Hussein al-Sheikh, a close confidant of PA President Abbas said in an interview with official Palestinian TV.Al-Sheikh contended that the decision to renew ties came in the aftermath of a written commitment by Israel to uphold its prior agreements with the Palestinians, which the PA has contended forecloses the possibility for annexation. Al-Maliki, however, explicitly connected the decision to return to coordination with Israel with the White House’s expected change in occupants.Hussein al-Sheikh, a close confidant of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, speaking on Palestine TV, the official PA channel. (Screenshot: Palestine TV)-“The fact also that we have renewed our financial and security coordination with Israel recently, we consider that an encouragement for the new administration to move forward in that direction,” al-Maliki said.But given the coronavirus pandemic and domestic turmoil roiling the United States, al-Maliki said he recognized that the Palestinian cause was unlikely to be at the top of the incoming administration’s list of priorities.“We know that the Biden administration is likely to be focused on internal rather than external matters,” al-Maliki said.While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with the US President-elect last week, Abbas has yet to hold a phone call with Biden. Al-Maliki said Ramallah has submitted a request for such a conversation.“We have asked for a phone call between President Abbas and President-elect Biden. We have asked for a specific date and time for such a phone call to take place,” al-Maliki said.
Days after Netanyahu met crown prince on trip to Saudi-‘Until King Salman has gone,’ no progress on Israel-Saudi normalization – report-Source tells Israeli TV that cooperation against Iran will increase, but monarch at odds with the crown prince on public ties with Jewish state-By TOI staff-NOV 27,20-Today, 1:13 am
No progress toward normalized ties with Saudi Arabia will be made so long as King Salman remains in power, according to an unnamed “senior Israeli source” who is familiar with the interactions between the two countries, Channel 12 news reported Thursday.The source told the outlet that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Saudi Arabia’s powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had a “very warm meeting” in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, in what was the first publicly reported meeting between the two.However, “Israel understands that there will not be a breakthrough with the Saudis in the near future” because King Salman “takes a diametrically opposite stance” on the matter of normalization with Israel to that of his son, the report said.Therefore, the source said, it was understood that “progress will only be possible after King Salman has gone.”Saudi King Salman in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on March 26, 2020. (Saudi Press Agency via AP)-Despite that, “cooperation against the joint enemy Iran” will increase, as will bilateral trade between the two nations.The source also said that flights from Israel’s national carrier El Al will not overfly Saudi Arabia in the near future. In September, the kingdom approved the use of its airspace for Israeli flights to and from the UAE, a decision announced the day after Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, met with Prince Mohammed in Riyadh.The Wall Street Journal reported in September that the Saudi king remains committed to a boycott of Israel coupled with a strong stance in favor of the Palestinian demand for an independent state, while the crown prince is open to normalization with the Jewish state and the business opportunities it could bring as well as public coordination in the struggle against Iran.Nonetheless, Trump predicted before the US presidential elections that Saudi Arabia would be one of up to 10 more countries to normalize ties with Israel in the near future.Riyadh’s crown prince and Netanyahu held unprecedented talks late Sunday in the Saudi Red Sea city of Neom, along with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, reportedly including discussions on Iran and normalization.US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, L, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrive to make a joint statement after meeting in Jerusalem on November 19, 2020. (Maya Alleruzzo / POOL / AFP)-The Kan public broadcaster and Channel 12 both quoted an unnamed senior Israeli official Monday evening as saying that no breakthrough was expected anytime soon.“Despite the efforts by Netanyahu and Pompeo to convince them, the Saudis made clear that, at the moment, they are not ready to take the extra step. That’s why no additional [normalization] ceremony can be expected in the near future,” an official told Channel 12.“No breakthrough toward an agreement is expected. It won’t happen so fast,” Kan cited an official as saying.A Saudi government adviser confirmed the meeting and the trip to The Wall Street Journal, saying that the meeting, which had lasted several hours, focused on Iran and the establishment of diplomatic ties between Riyadh and Jerusalem, but did not yield substantial agreements.Education Minister Yoav Gallant also confirmed the trip, calling it “an amazing achievement.”However, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan denied that Netanyahu or any other officials from the Jewish state had taken part in a meeting with the crown prince, in a tweet issued several hours after the reports started circulating.“I have seen press reports about a purported meeting between HRH the Crown Prince and Israeli officials during the recent visit by @SecPompeo. No such meeting occurred. The only officials present were American and Saudi,” he wrote.Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman attends a virtual G-20 summit held over video conferencing, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, November 22, 2020. (Bandar Aljaloud/Saudi Royal Palace via AP)-Channel 12 quoted Israeli sources as saying the Saudis were angry that news of the meeting had been leaked. However, the Ynet news site earlier quoted two officials involved in the talks as saying the Saudi crown prince had not objected to the meeting being publicized.Netanyahu’s office has not commented on the reported trip and meeting, but the premier did not deny that the meeting took place, while making a cryptic statement at the outset of his Likud party’s weekly faction meeting.“I have not commented on such matters for years and I am not going to start now,” he said, when asked directly about the trip by his coalition chief, Likud MK Miki Zohar. “For years I haven’t spared any effort to strengthen Israel and broaden the circle of peace.”Bahrain, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates have reached deals to normalize ties with Israel in recent months, though a similar agreement with Saudi Arabia so far has remained out of reach.Bahrain normalizing ties suggested at least a Saudi acquiescence to the idea, as the island kingdom relies on Riyadh.Israel has long had clandestine ties with Gulf Arab states that have strengthened in recent years, as they have confronted a shared threat in Iran.Agencies contributed to this report.

President Reuven Rivlin on Thursday hosted a visiting delegation from Bahrain that was in Israel to promote coexistence, led by a member of the kingdom’s royal family, the president’s office said in a statement.The visit by a group from the King Hamad Global Center for Peaceful Coexistence came in the wake of Israel and Bahrain establishing diplomatic ties in September.They were led by Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, who in addition to being president of the center’s board of directors is also a member of the Bahraini royal family.“Both Israel and Bahrain value freedom of religion and tolerance, and see the different communities that make up their societies as a source of strength,” Rivlin told the delegation at the president’s residence in Jerusalem.“As His Majesty King Hamad said so beautifully in his declaration, religion must be a power for harmony and cooperation around the world,” Rivlin said. “We must not allow religion to be an excuse for violence.”The president expressed thanks to Bahrain for the support it gives to the kingdom’s Jewish community and “its steadfast position against all forms of antisemitism,” the statement said.Following their meeting, the visitors presented Rivlin with a Hebrew copy of a 2017 declaration by Bahrain’s king in support of interreligious tolerance and coexistence.The delegation’s trip to Israel followed the first-ever visit by a Bahraini foreign minister to the Jewish state last week. Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid al-Zayani was in the country along with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.At a joint press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, al-Zayani called for the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. Rivlin also hosted al-Zayani during his time in Israel.From left to right: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani at the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem. (Amos Ben Gershom/GPO)-Since establishing diplomatic ties, Israel and Bahrain have reached an agreement to open reciprocal embassies.Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates signed the so-called Abraham Accords and a “Declaration of Peace” with Israel at a September 15 ceremony at the White House.On October 25, al-Zayani signed eight bilateral agreements, including a “Joint Communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic, peaceful, and friendly relations” with Israel during a ceremony in Manama.Thursday saw the first commercial flight between Dubai and Tel Aviv.Since the historic Abraham Accords agreement, Sudan has followed suit and agreed to forge ties with Israel.The agreements shattered a longstanding Arab consensus that there should be no normalization with Israel until it reaches a comprehensive peace deal with the Palestinians.Several Gulf Arab states have for years been quietly building relations with Israel on the basis of shared animosity toward Iran, with the US supporting the process.Regional heavyweight Saudi Arabia has so far refrained from formalizing ties with Israel, but has given the green light to overflights from the Jewish state, in an implicit sign of approval. On Monday, Netanyahu reportedly flew to Saudi Arabia for a three-way meeting with the kingdom’s de facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman and Pompeo, although no agreement on normalization was reached.The secret visit was only revealed in the media after Netanyahu had already returned to Israel. The premier’s office hasn’t confirmed it.

Heavy rainfall causes flooding, damage in coastal cities-As downpours continue, parts of Israel see the rainiest month on record for November since 1994; storm expected to let up over the weekend-By TOI staff-NOV 27,20-Today, 2:54 am
Heavy rainfall on Thursday caused extensive flooding and damage in several Israeli coastal cities, with the continued downpours making this November the rainiest in some parts of the country in over a quarter century.Among the worst hit areas were Hod Hasharon, Herzliya, Ashkelon and Nahariya, all of which have recorded over 100 millimeters of rain since a bout of stormy weather began Wednesday. Dozens of people trapped in cars or buildings by the rainfall were rescued Thursday, according to Channel 12 news.“I think we are very lucky that there were no casualties,” Hod Hasharon Mayor Amir Kohavi told Channel 13 news. “It’s customary to blame the infrastructure, but in the last two years millions of shekels were invested in infrastructure.”Kohavi blamed the flooding on climate change and “unrestrained building” in recent years that he said reduced drainage areas. — TheMarker (@TheMarker) November 26, 2020-However, some Hod Hasharon residents said the municipality was at fault.“The drains were clogged, I’m sure,” Itzik Gutterman told the Ynet news site after his car got stuck on a flooded street, requiring his son to come and rescue him.The northern city of Nahariya also saw major flooding and some 10 people trapped in ground floor apartments were rescued, Channel 12 said.With Thursday’s rain, some areas of Israel experienced the wettest month of November since 1994.The storm front was expected to let up in the coming days, with only intermittent rain forecast on Friday and Saturday.Last winter, downpours in northern Israel broke a 51-year record within a two-week period. The generous rainfall in the north raised the level of the Sea of Galilee to its highest in decades and ended a five-year drought that plagued the country.The Agriculture Ministry announced in August that it would be investing NIS 146 million ($43 million) in an upgrade of drainage facilities across the country, although it was unclear how much had been implemented ahead of the winter.Scientists have warned that climate change will lead to less rain in Israel but to more extreme downpour events.

ISAIAH 30:26-27
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold,(7X OR 7-DEGREES HOTTER) as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people,(ISRAEL) and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
MATTHEW 24:21-22,221 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened,(DAY LIGHT HOURS SHORTENED) there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake (ISRAELS SAKE) those days shall be shortened (Daylight hours shortened)(THE ASTEROID HITS EARTH HERE)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
REVELATION 16:7-9
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
