A ban from public places, or gentle persuasion? The future of virus tracking-The Times of Israel-Shin Bet is poised to resume tracking for virus fight as a stopgap solution until new voluntary app developed; experts split on how to encourage users to download such a program-By Nathan Jeffay-june 26,20-Today, 10:51 am
Irael’s government has endorsed a plan to have the Shin Bet security agency monitor citizens’ phones to track carriers of the coronavirus, but it is under growing pressure to ensure the compulsory state surveillance program is short-lived.Voluntary tracking is increasingly seen as the way forward, but there is a debate about how authorities should convince the public to download a monitoring app — with a carrot or a stick.A week ago, the Health Ministry closed the tender process for proposals for a radical rework of the voluntary Hamagen app, which has been widely criticized for its poor functionality. The ministry told applicants that it aims to get 4 million citizens using the app, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees it as the next stage in phone tracking.One of the ideas submitted to the Health Ministry involves an app design that would sanction citizens unless they sign up for its “voluntary” surveillance, banning them from some public spaces and transportation.“If we don’t do this we’re going to have a second wave and a third wave,” said Ido Erev, a behavioral scientist who was part of the consortium behind this proposal, which is being led by the tech company Ewave.Netanyahu framed Wednesday’s unanimous decision by ministers to back resumption of Shin Bet phone tracking — a move that is now pending final approval by Knesset — as a temporary solution until a sophisticated voluntary app is produced.“We want to locate those who have been around infected or contagious people so that they cannot spread the disease,” Netanyahu said. “I have asked to accelerate the development of the digital application that is designed to achieve this goal.”He hoped this would take “weeks,” and is looking to use security services “until then.”Tehila Shwartz Altshuler (Courtesy of Tehila Shwartz Altshuler)-Tehilla Schwartz Altshuler of the Israel Democracy Institute, a leading Israeli thinker on media and technology, highlighted the urgency of shifting to a voluntary method.“We need to work in a different way,” she said, adding: “Many democracies are using apps, and Israel is the only democracy using secret services.”Erev, professor at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, believes that such an app, built especially for mass contact-tracing as opposed to Shin Bet’s systems that aren’t, will be more accurate than anything in use until now, utilizing more pinpointed information so that fewer people will end up in quarantine.Altshuler agrees. “According to our analysis of the data, the ISA [Shin Bet] has a 12% error rate and less than three out of ten every positive cases are detected. Among other reasons, this is due to a lack of accuracy of the technology when its targets are inside buildings.”Many countries, including France, Germany, Denmark, Italy and Switzerland, are encouraging use of voluntary apps that tell people when they have been in contact with carriers so they can self-isolate, and, in some cases, go for testing.Erev thinks that the government should corner citizens into downloading “voluntary” surveillance software, by excluding them from schools and many public places if they don’t.Passengers wearing face masks at the Tel Aviv Savidor Central Railway Station on June 22, 2020. (Avshalom Sassoni/Flash90)The Health Ministry opened a tender for app proposals last month, with a June 15 deadline. Erev, president of the European Association for Decision Making, was part of a proposal that suggested favoring a push to get people using an app.Ido Erev, a behavioral scientist at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. (courtesy of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology)-The proposal he submitted would give citizens a green light status, and remove it if they have been in the proximity of a coronavirus carrier. If they have been compromised, they would need to quarantine, and sometimes get tested too, before regaining their green light status.Erev wants access to public transportation, schools and other public places limited to people who use the tracking app and can show a green “traffic light” on their phone — similar to those used in many parts of China — proving that they haven’t been exposed to coronavirus.He said: “If privacy is important to you don’t install it but if you don’t, you won’t be able to take the train. Schools would be open only for children whose parents have the green light.”But Schwartz Altshuler thinks this model is “too invasive.” She told The Times of Israel that the emphasis should be on gently incentivizing people to download the app.“The way to go is a strong public campaign, and strong positive incentives,” she said, saying that the best strategy isn’t to exclude people from public spaces if they don’t have the app, but to encourage people to download it.“You could, for example, offer vouchers for stores to people who use the app,” she said. “There are lots of possibilities for encouraging it and approaches that can be tried without needing to think about forcing people to download.”Erev disagreed, saying: “People will not do it. It has to be something that will impact daily activity — people won’t install an app for, say 300 shekels, but they will act if they need it to take the bus or go on the train.
”Likud said weighing offering Gantz presidency to skirt rotation agreement-The Times of Israel-Only 40 days into new government and with Blue and White sinking in the polls, officials in Netanyahu’s party reportedly seek to back out of unity deal premier vowed to uphold-By TOI staff-JUNE 26,20-Today, 11:01 am
Little more than a month since the formation of the new government, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party is considering offering Defense Minister Benny Gantz the presidency in 2021 as an “honorable way out” from his rotation deal with the premier amid sliding poll numbers, the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported Friday.Party officials who spoke with the newspaper said it would be unreasonable for Netanyahu to honor his agreement to hand the leadership of the country to Gantz in November 2021 — as he repeatedly vowed to do during the coalition negotiations — if Gantz continues to weaken politically.antz, who now also serves in the newly created post of alternate prime minister, broke up his formidable alliance with Yesh Atid-Telem in order to join Netanyahu’s coalition. He said he did so to end Israel’s year-long political crisis and to allow the government to focus on the unprecedented challenge of the coronavirus pandemic.Yet his uneasy alliance with former foe Netanyahu, who he had repeatedly vowed not to join, has led him to bleed voters who feel betrayed. Recent polls have shown Blue and White dropping from its current 15 to 10-12 seats, with Likud shooting up to 40 seats or more.“It is unreasonable for someone with so much political power to hand over the premiership to someone without any political power,” the paper’s Sima Kadmon writes, citing the thinking among Likud officials.Gantz could decide to go to a new election if Netanyahu fails to honor the rotation deal, but Likud officials say he would then risk crashing to an insignificant number of seats.One Likud minister tells the paper that “elections are not an option for Gantz. It’ll be the end of the road for him politically.”If Gantz agrees to the plan, the report said, the coalition will back his candidacy to replace Reuven Rivlin in mid-2021, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi will replace Gantz in the Defense Ministry, and thus Netanyahu will secure his continued rule while Gantz will avoid a humiliating election defeat.Since Gantz broke his alliance with Yesh Atid’s Yair Lapid and Moshe Ya’alon, they have warned repeatedly — as has Yisrael Beytenu party chief Avigdor Liberman — that Netanyahu would never honor his agreement to step down after 18 months.In a swipe at former partner Gantz following publication of the Yedioth Ahronoth story, Lapid tweeted Friday: “I am against Gantz being president. The job includes too much pressure.”Opposition leader Yair Lapid at the Knesset as the 35th government of Israel is presented on May 17, 2020. (Knesset/Adina Veldman)-Gantz himself clearly does not trust Netanyahu, leading him to anchor his deal with Likud in unprecedented legislation to protect him from the expected betrayal. This includes clauses guaranteeing that if Netanyahu breaks up the coalition to declare a new election, Gantz will automatically become interim prime minister until that election takes place and a new government is formed.In recent days a new crisis has been brewing in the coalition surrounding the new state budget.With budget negotiations expected to be especially difficult in the current unity government due to the inclusion of parties from both the right and the left, Likud and Blue and White included in their coalition agreement a commitment “to pass, in an orderly manner, a biennial state budget for 2020 and 2021.”But citing the rise in coronavirus cases and the uncertainty surrounding the economy, lawmakers from Netanyahu’s bloc within the government have in recent days been touting a one-year budget that deals with only the next four months. This, they asserted, would allow short-term measures to be put in place without limiting future options.The push for a one-year budget, however, has led to concerns in Blue and White that Netanyahu is looking for a way to end his partnership with Gantz, prompting another national election that is expected to greatly benefit him.The coalition deal agreed on by the parties stipulates that if the Knesset fails to pass a budget, leading to new elections, the side that votes for the budget will automatically hold the premiership until the election and formation of a new government. This provides Netanyahu, who holds financial levers in the coalition, with a potential exit window, if he should like to propose a budget Blue and White can’t get behind.Passing a one-year budget until the end of 2020 would then give Netanyahu a possible way to force new elections in 2021 without having to give up the position of prime minister. A two-year budget would prevent that option until 2022.Finance Minister Israel Katz has denied that the move was a pretext for early elections.-“All senior treasury officials, including the head of the budget department, the accountant general and the director-general, wrote an opinion today supporting a one-year budget for economic reasons,” Katz told Channel 12 news last week.He said that a budget for just 2020 would be able to include measures that “will allow the economy and workers to reintegrate” following the shutdown of the economy due to the coronavirus.“By contrast,” Katz warned, “a two-year budget including 2021 will require more aggressive measures.”He added: “I am convinced that there is no intention of using the budget for elections.”But Gantz is reportedly unconvinced that the push by Netanyahu and his allies is entirely non-political.Earlier in the week, a senior Likud source was quoted by Channel 12 as saying that “the marriage between us and Blue and White will end at the Rabbinate [with a divorce] much faster than everyone thinks… Netanyahu is trying to find the right timing and pretext to call elections.” Raoul Wootliff contributed to this report.

Iran: US effort to extend arms embargo will fail; new sanctions a ‘big mistake’-The Times of Israel-Envoy to UN says snapping back restrictions will end nuclear deal: ‘If that happens, Iran will not be under constraint as to its course of action. All options will be open’-By AP-JUNE 26,20-Today, 11:14 am
UNITED NATIONS — Iran’s UN ambassador said Thursday that he believes a US resolution to extend an arms embargo against his country will be defeated and warned it would be “a very, very big mistake” if the Trump administration then tries to re-impose UN sanctions.Ambassador Majid Ravanchi said restoring UN sanctions will end the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and major powers and release Tehran from all its commitments.“If that happens, Iran will not be under constraint as to what course of action it should take,” he said reporters. “All options for Iran will be open.”Lifting the arms embargo on Tehran is part of the UN 2015 Security Council resolution endorsing the nuclear agreement.Ravanchi spoke a day after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo threatened to seek to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran if the Security Council does not approve a resolution that would indefinitely extend the arms embargo, which is set to expire in October.“Iran will be able to purchase advanced weapons systems and become an arms dealer of choice for terrorists and rogue regimes all throughout the world,” Pompeo said. “This is unacceptable.”Later Wednesday, US Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook and US Ambassador Kelly Craft briefed Security Council members on the US draft resolution that would maintain the arms embargo indefinitely.US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks to the media before departing from al-Bateen Air Base in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, September 19, 2019, as US special representative on Iran Brian Hook, left, listens. (Mandel Ngan/Pool via AP)Tensions between Iran and the US have escalated since 2018, when the Trump administration withdrew from the nuclear deal between Tehran and six major powers and re-imposed crippling US sanctions.The five other powers that signed the nuclear deal — Russia, China, the United Kingdom, France and Germany — remain committed to it, saying the agreement is key to continuing inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency and preventing Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons.Ravanchi said ending the arms embargo in October “is an essential part of the agreement between Iran and its partners.”“We believe there is no stomach for members of the Security Council to digest the draft resolution like the one the US presented,” he said. “So, it is our view that the draft resolution will be defeated.”Ravanchi stressed that Iran will not accept “anything less than full implementation” of the provision lifting the arms embargo.And he added: “It would be a wise idea for the United States to reconsider the presentation of the draft because it’s not going to be approved.”The Iranian ambassador pointed to letters from the foreign ministers of Russia and China, both veto-wielding members of the Security Council, to its members opposing any extension of the arms embargo.The 2015 nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, also includes a “snap back” provision that would restore all UN sanctions against Iran that had been lifted or eased if the nuclear deal is violated.Responding to Pompeo’s threat to use that provision if the US arms embargo resolution isn’t approved, Ravanchi said: “This is a very, very big mistake on the part of the United States to try to snap back the resolution, because they know that is the end of JCPOA, and they should think twice before resorting to that option.”He said Iran and many other Security Council members believe the US has no legal authority to invoke snap back because it is no longer part of the JCPOA.Russia’s UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia has dismissed as “ridiculous” the possibility of the Trump administration trying to use the snap back provision, stressing that since the US pulled out out of the JCPOA “they have no right” to use any of its provisions.But Pompeo and Craft insist the resolution makes clear the US retains the right to use the provision.Ravanchi said the US should ask itself how it will implement snap back in the face of strong opposition to it.And he said the US should also bear in mind the consequences of having no JCPOA, and the consequences of snap back action, including its impact on other Security Council members and the council’s credibility.The ambassador was asked whether ending IAEA inspections, stopping unannounced inspections under the nuclear agency’s additional protocol, or withdrawing from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, considered the cornerstone of global efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, are likely steps Iran would take if the US succeeds in re-imposing UN sanctions.“I am not going to tell you exactly what action we are going to take,” Ravanchi replied. ”There are a number of options available.”

Belgian parliament calls for sanctions against Israel if annexation goes ahead-The Times of Israel-Resolution urging creation of ‘list of efficient counter-measures’ passes with huge majority; second motion urging government to recognize Palestinian state postponed for two weeks-By Raphael Ahren-JUNE 26,20-Today, 9:02 am
The Belgian parliament on Friday morning passed with an overwhelming majority a resolution urging the government to act to prevent Israel from unilaterally annexing parts of the West Bank and to actively advocate for European-wide punitive measures against Jerusalem if it proceeds with its controversial plan.The Chamber of Representatives in Brussels was originally also scheduled to discuss and vote on a motion calling for the recognition of a Palestinian state, but this was postponed due to last-minutes amendments.The resolution “concerning Israel’s annexation of occupied territories in Palestine,” proposed by three politicians from the Greens, passed with 101 ‘yes’ votes and 39 abstentions. No one voted against.The motion urges the government of Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès “to take the initiative with third countries, at European and multilateral levels, to prevent the annexation [by] Israel of the Palestinian territories, or parts of them.”The resolution further calls on Brussels to play a leading role in formulating a “list of efficient counter-measures geared at responding in a proportional manner to any Israeli annexation of occupied Palestinian territory.”The European Union and many of its member states vehemently oppose Israel’s declared goal to annex up to 30 percent of the West Bank as early as July 1, but have not yet formulated any punitive measures against Jerusalem if it were to implement its plan. The EU requires consensus among all 27 member states to apply significant sanctions on Israel, but some countries such as Hungary and Austria are widely expected to veto any harsh measures against the Jewish state.If no consensus can be reached, Belgium should “play an active role in setting up a coalition of like-minded member states to explore possible reactions” to an Israeli annexation, the Belgian lawmakers urged their government.The resolution is not legally binding, but it is considered important, especially because Wilmès since March heads a caretaker minority government that is supposed to focus exclusively on Belgium’s fight against the coronavirus pandemic and its economic fallout.Given this background, analysts estimate that parliamentary resolutions passed with large majorities are more likely to be adopted by the government than otherwise.Israel’s Ambassador to Belgium Emmanuel Nahshon told The Times of Israel on Friday that, “Instead of applying undue pressure on Israel, Belgium should encourage the Palestinians to cease with their persistent refusal and return to negotiations.”In its preamble, the bill twice referred to former Israeli officials having warned against Israel becoming an apartheid state in case of annexation.A senior White House official said Thursday that the Trump administration has not made a final decision in a round of talks about whether to back Israel’s annexation plans. Jerusalem is highly unlikely to move forward without American approval.On Wednesday, the parliament’s foreign affairs committee will again debate the second resolution on Brussels’ recognition of a Palestinian state. It will come back for a plenary vote in two weeks.ack in February 2015, the Belgian parliament passed a resolution urging the government to seek a majority within the European Union for a recognition of a Palestinian state. But the new resolution was much more direct in its demand for immediate recognition.t calls for the “formal recognition of the State of Palestine next to the State of Israel” and urges the government to consider this act “Belgium’s contribution to the solution, based on the coexistence of two democratic and independent states that have the right to live in peace and security, with mutually recognized and respected borders.”The motion further calls on Brussels to advocate for similar recognition by other European states.
Report: Israel has told Abbas it will limit annexation to 2-3 settlement blocs-The Times of Israel-Ramallah official tells TV network message conveyed via Jordan said Jerusalem no longer planning to annex the Jordan Valley-By TOI staff-JUNE 26,20-Today, 12:58 pm
Israel has conveyed a message to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas that its annexation plans have been greatly reduced, will no longer apply to the Jordan Valley and will be limited to only two or three settlements blocs, Channel 12 reported Friday, citing a senior official in Ramallah.The official told the network the message was delivered via Jordan, following Mossad chief Yossi Cohen’s reported meeting on the matter with King Abdullah this week.The official said no specific details were given on the settlements to be annexed, but said the implication was it would be a small number of blocs.The report agreed with another earlier this week, according to which Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi has said that Israel is unlikely to annex the Jordan Valley under the Trump administration’s peace plan.Head of the Mossad Yossi Cohen speaks at a Cyber conference at the Tel Aviv University on June 24, 2019. (Flash90)-“I assume the annexation will not include the Jordan Valley. Everyone understands this,” Ashkenazi told officials in closed-door talks in recent days, according to the Kan public broadcaster.It also was in line with comments earlier this month by top Israeli officials to Zman Yisrael, the Hebrew sister site of The Times of Israel, that Israel will at this stage only annex three West Bank blocs, but not the Jordan Valley or other settlement areas.TV news reports Tuesday night said Netanyahu is hoping to get White House approval for a first phase of annexation that would include not only one or more of the major settlement blocs such as Ma’ale Adumim, Ariel or the Etzion Bloc, but also one or more relatively “isolated” settlements, deeper in the West Bank, to “convey the message” that those more isolated settlements would also not become part of a future Palestinian entity. A potential second phase of annexation would be more extensive — in line with Netanyahu’s pledge to extend Israeli law to all 132 settlements and the Jordan Valley.A Thursday report on Channel 12 said security chiefs were deeply divided on the possible ramifications of annexation, with the chiefs of the military and Mossad at odds on whether the move will be met with significant Palestinian violence or not.Ministers present at a meeting of the high-level security cabinet Wednesday said IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi and Military Intelligence commander Tamir Hayman warned annexation could spark violent unrest in the West Bank, including shooting attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers.IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi speaks at a ceremony in the military’s Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv on June 18, 2020. (Israel Defense Forces)-They also reportedly warned there could be a return of suicide bombings — as there were during the Second Intifada in the early 2000s — and said the move could lead to fighting in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.Mossad chief Yossi Cohen on the other hand was dismissive of the IDF forecasts, the report said.“I don’t accept the claim that annexation will necessary lead to violent responses,” he was quoted as saying in the meeting.According to the report, Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman took the middle ground, saying that while there would be a response to annexation, economic conditions were good enough in the West Bank that he didn’t believe there was a Palestinian interest in “breaking the rules of the game.”As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s intended target date of July 1 to begin annexation approaches, there has been rising international pressure on Israel to abandon the plan.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the area where a new neighborhood is to be built in the East Jerusalem settlement of Har Homa, February 20, 2020. (Debbie Hill/Pool Photo via AP, File)It’s unclear if Israel will move ahead with any annexation on July 1, since the United States is still considering its approval for the plan. Three days of White House discussions on the matter this week concluded without any final decision being made.Blue and White’s Benny Gantz and Ashkenazi — the defense and foreign ministers — have also given the US administration pause by their reluctance ot back the plan. The two have said they will not support annexation that hurts Israel’s relations with its neighbors, particularly Jordan.The United Nations and European and Arab powers on Wednesday warned Israel that its plans to annex Palestinian land would deal a major blow to peace.Meanwhile US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters that “Decisions about Israelis extending sovereignty to those places are decisions for the Israelis to make.”Gantz on Tuesday signaled he could back unilateral annexation of West Bank land, citing persistent refusals by the Palestinians to reach a deal with Israel, while reiterating his demand that the move not endanger Israel’s existing peace agreements.“We won’t continue to wait for the Palestinians. If they say no forever to everything, then we’ll be forced to move forward without them,” Gantz said in a briefing to military reporters.Benny Gantz, head of Blue and White party and MK Gabi Ashkenazi at an election campaign event ahead of the coming Israeli elections, in Kfar Saba on February 12, 2020 (Gili Yaari / Flash90)-Gantz laid out his conditions for annexation, vowing there would be an “organized process” in coordination with the Israel Defense Forces and other security services.He indicated he opposed annexing territory with many Palestinians in it, and that any Palestinians in the territory to be annexed should be offered equal rights. He stressed the need for maintaining freedom of movement for Palestinians in the West Bank. He said annexation should be coordinated with other relevant players — an apparent reference to Jordan, Egypt and others in the region.Gantz is also said to favor that any annexation take place in the context of some kind of wider offer to the Palestinians — “a carrot” along with the stick, according to a Channel 13 report Tuesday night.Agencies contributed to this report.
Israeli annexation bid contradicts its past positions, without legal explanation-The Times of Israel-Analysis-Begin wanted to leave question of sovereignty over West Bank open, Oslo barred both sides from unilaterally changing territory’s status. What justifies the change, and is it legal?-By Raphael Ahren-JUNE 26,20-Today, 6:19 Netanyahu, right, greets students as they wave Israeli flags during a ceremony opening the school year in the settlement of Elkana in the West Bank Sunday, Sep. 1, 2019.

The Jewish people have an undeniable religious and historical connection to the Land of Israel. But can the State of Israel claim a legal right to unilaterally apply its sovereignty to parts of the West Bank, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to do as soon as July 1?“Ever since Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt, through the Sinai desert and to the Land of Israel, returning to the land that God had promised Abraham, Jews have lived and exercised sovereignty in the Promised Land,” Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, told the Security Council on Wednesday.“Even when the Romans destroyed the Second Temple in 70 CE, and the Jews were exiled from their home, Jewish communities survived in Jerusalem and elsewhere in our homeland,” he added in a bid to justify Israel’s possibly imminent annexation.Jews have undoubtedly lived in the holy land for millennia, but the modern State of Israel has never realized its sovereign claims, as understood by international law, over the entire area from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River.A historic insistence on negotiations-Israel became a sovereign country in May 1948 and was admitted to the United Nations as a member state a year later. Its unofficial borders were delineated by the Armistice Lines of 1949 — what is known today as the Green Line.A view of the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramot, most of which lies over the Green Line. (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)-In the Armistice Agreement with Jordan of April 1949, Israel stressed that it was not giving up any territorial claims it might have, but it did not actually realize sovereign title over any territory beyond the Green Line until 1967, when it captured and incorporated the eastern part of Jerusalem. In 1981, the Knesset passed a law applying Israeli law, jurisdiction and administration on the Golan Heights, a move widely understood as an act to acquire sovereignty.However, for decades successive Israeli governments argued that the rest of the West Bank, which it had captured in a defensive war, was territory over which sovereignty was disputed or undetermined, and that the last power that legitimately held sovereignty over it was the Ottoman Empire.Before the 1990s, Jerusalem simply held that the West Bank currently had no sovereign and proposed to leave competing claims over the territory unanswered.“Israel stands by its right and its claim of sovereignty to Judea, Samaria and the Gaza district. In the knowledge that other claims exist, it proposes, for the sake of the agreement of the peace, that the question of sovereignty in these areas be left open,” prime minister Menachem Begin’s so-called self-rule plan of 1977 stated.In the more recent past, up until the present day, Israel — while officially maintaining its legal claim — has been committed to the position that the final status of the West Bank must be determined in future negotiations.“Neither side shall initiate or take any step that will change the status of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip pending the outcome of the permanent status negotiations,” according to article 31(7) of the 1995 Oslo Accords.Rabin and Arafat sign maps prior to the Oslo II signing ceremony at the White House, as US president Bill Clinton, Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak and Jordan’s King Hussein look on, September 28, 1995 (photo credit: GPO)-This remained Jerusalem’s position over the yearsThe government continued to consider its presence in the territory a belligerent occupation, despite officials eschewing this term. While there was vehement disagreement over whether Israel was allowed to build settlements in the West Bank, there was little question that legally the status quo was considered temporary and could only be altered by an agreement between the parties.In January 2017, Jerusalem rejected a French peace conference that sought to galvanize support for the internationally accepted parameters of an Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty, dismissing it as “an attempt to circumvent the route of direct negotiations between the parties.”Later that year, the Foreign Ministry, in pamphlets with talking points on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, again underlined its position that competing claims over the West Bank must be resolved in peace talks.Agreements signed between Israel and the Palestinians “specifically provided that the issue of [West Bank] settlements is reserved for permanent status negotiations, reflecting the understanding of both sides that this issue can only be resolved alongside other permanent status issues, such as borders and security,” the brochure about settlements read.Oslo’s prohibition against unilaterally altering the status of the territories “was agreed upon in order to prevent either side from taking steps which purport to change the legal status of this territory (such as by annexation or unilateral declaration of statehood), pending the outcome of permanent status negotiations,” the booklet quotes the Foreign Ministry’s formal position.Then-deputy FM Tzipi Hotovely in Kibbutz Kfar Etzion, June 7, 2017. (Gershon Elinson/Flash90)-Ironically, perhaps, these pamphlets were commissioned by then-deputy foreign minister Tzipi Hotovely — the current minister for settlement affairs and long a strong advocate for unilateral annexation.In December 2019 — three months after Netanyahu first announced his intention to unilaterally annex the Jordan Valley — Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit reiterated that, “sovereignty over the West Bank and the Gaza Strip is presently in abeyance [i.e. territory over which sovereignty claims have yet to be determined], with current Israeli-Palestinian agreements explicitly enumerating ‘borders’ among those issues to be settled through bilateral permanent status negotiations.”So what has changed? What explanation has Netanyahu’s government provided for its sudden about-face? What changed that would allow Jerusalem to violate its own position that says that the territorial dispute with Ramallah must be solved in bilateral talks and cannot be determined by the whims of either side?The answer may be found not in international law or regional developments, but mainly in the American political calendar. US President Donald Trump has given a green light, at least in principle, to Israeli annexation, and Netanyahu is aware that this light will turn red if a Democrat wins the White House in November.“We face a historic opportunity to apply sovereignty to areas of Judea and Samaria,” the prime minister said earlier this month.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, left, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, center, and then-Tourism Minister Yariv Levin during a meeting to discuss mapping extension of Israeli sovereignty to areas of the West Bank, held in the Ariel settlement, February 24, 2020. (David Azagury/US Embassy Jerusalem)-To be sure, there are also some legal arguments in favor of immediate annexation. Advocates of annexation argue that Israel has longstanding valid claims to the territory and, after exhausting several efforts to reach an agreement with the Palestinians, is finally realizing its rights.“Israel already governs the territory in question, as it has since 1967,” Eugene Kontorovich, the director of the Center for the Middle East and International Law at George Mason University, wrote this week in the Wall Street Journal.“But at that time Israel didn’t fully apply its domestic laws there, leaving it under military administration. Israel expected the Arab states to sue for peace after the Six-Day War, and it was prepared to transfer some of the land to them. There was no point in hurriedly applying Israeli law to territory that might not remain Israeli after a peace settlement.”Israel’s occupation of the West Bank was meant to be temporary, but the Palestinians rejected various Israeli overtures that would have led to Palestinian statehood. Meanwhile, nearly half a million Israelis have moved to settlements in the West Bank, where they are “still governed by an odd patchwork of military regulations,” according to Kontorovich. “As a result, property is governed by obscure Ottoman land law. Permission for infrastructure projects is difficult and burdensome. Most Israeli environmental regulations don’t apply.”Therefore, he reasoned, after 53 years of Palestinian rejectionism, “it is hard to argue that the legal regulation of these communities must remain in limbo until a far-off peace deal is signed.”Applying Israeli civil law to Jewish settlements should not be considered an annexation of Palestinian land but rather “a long overdue recognition of Israel’s legal and moral rights, a step that can no longer be deferred by the Palestinian refusal to make peace,” he concluded.Oslo is still relevant, according to Mandelblit.There are also potential arguments to dismiss Israel’s commitment under the Oslo Accords not to unilaterally change the status quo on any of the final status issues. For instance, Israel can point to several violations of the agreement by the Palestinian Authority, primarily its efforts toward international recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state.But does a violation of a bilateral agreement by one side entitle the other side to carry out violations as well? International law knows a concept called “countermeasures” that a state can take if another country violates a bilateral treaty. Could an Israeli annexation be explained as an appropriate countermeasure to Ramallah’s statehood bid or other Palestinian violations of Oslo?Mandelblit in December appeared to suggest that his answer would be no.Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit speaks at the 17th annual Jerusalem Conference of the ‘Besheva’ group, on February 24, 2020. (Olivier Fitoussi/Flash90)“Despite the repeated breaches by the Palestinians, the bilateral Israeli-Palestinian agreements continue to form the applicable legal framework governing the conduct of the parties,” he wrote in a paper arguing that the International Criminal Court does not have criminal jurisdiction over the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza.“This has repeatedly been acknowledged by the parties, including most recently and in writing, despite isolated political statements to the contrary by some Palestinian officials,” Mandelblit wrote.Either way, most of the international community considers unilateral annexation illegal under international law, due to the inadmissibility of acquisition of territory by force, a principle anchored in the UN charter. The argument that Israel is no longer bound by the agreements it struck with the PA in the 1990s does not take Israel very far, as such a move would still be unlawful, with or without Oslo.Still, the attorney general would not necessarily oppose annexation on legal grounds, or even refuse to defend it in court, as some in the Hebrew press have suggested.True, Mandelblit opposed the so-called Regulation law, which sought to retroactively legalize settlements built on private Palestinian land, but he did this because he insists such legislation violates Israel’s existing property laws.A Palestinian woman points to the land she claims belongs to her family before Israel established the West Bank settlement of Amona in 1996, November 2016 (Raphael Ahren/TOI)-But whether he would reject annexation is a more complicated issue. While such a move would be widely seen as a violation of international law, it is unclear if it violates Israeli domestic law — which is the question that may matter before Israeli courts.The attorney general might make the case for the legality of annexation, or he might argue that it violates customary international law, which is seen as part of Israeli domestic law. However, this obstacle could possibly be overcome if annexation was advanced through specific legislation, as domestic laws would outweigh Israel’s international legal obligations.Still, the legal waters Israel would find itself in if Netanyahu proceeds with his annexation plan appear more than murky, as the gambit contradicts Israel’s own past positions without any legally sound explanation. Many questions — about how Israel would justify this decision, and which legal implications it would have domestically and internationally — remain unanswered. And Netanyahu’s target date is just a few days away.

LONDON | News-A sign of life, out there? Western University identifies six exomoons-Sean Irvine-CTV News London Reporter / Anchor-@SeanIrvineCTV Contact-Published Wednesday, June 24, 2020 12:12PM EDT
LONDON, ONT. -- A physics and astronomy PhD student at Western University may have uncovered something no one else has yet.Chris Fox, supported by his professor Paul Wiegert, has identified six potential new spots in the sky.“We think we have found a signal which would indicate a number of exomoons."Exomoons orbit exoplanets (defined as planets outside of our solar system), or at least that’s the theory.The problem is, while we know exoplanets exist, science has never been able to definitively identify an exomoon.But Fox’s discovery puts us closer.Using data from the recently decommissioned Kepler space telescope, Fox was about to locate and name six potential exomoons candidatesThey are between 200 and 3000 light years away from earth.It’s a neat discovery for an PhD student, but it’s also an important revelation for the age old question, “Are we alone?”“But by looking for exomoons, we can really expand the number of potential places that there could be life, or that we may want to go one day,” Fox tells CTV News.He says the presence of moons increases the likelihood a habitable world might be found.His findings, now submitted to a science journal, were determined by looking for variances in gravitational pull of a moon's parent planet. Fox says dips in light were a tell-tale sign.“Some cases we see this light not being periodic. It’s not occurring where it's supposed to be. So that’s where we are hypothesizing that’s what’s the moon is doing. The moon is causing an offset. It’s like a reflex action on the planet.”Yet, until better telescopes exist, the pattern changes are the only way to suggest exomoons are there.Fox’s hope is to one day have new technologies in his hands to make the conclusion, definitively

A ban from public places, or gentle persuasion? The future of virus tracking-The Times of Israel-Shin Bet is poised to resume tracking for virus fight as a stopgap solution until new voluntary app developed; experts split on how to encourage users to download such a program-By Nathan Jeffay-june 26,20-Today, 10:51 am
Irael’s government has endorsed a plan to have the Shin Bet security agency monitor citizens’ phones to track carriers of the coronavirus, but it is under growing pressure to ensure the compulsory state surveillance program is short-lived.Voluntary tracking is increasingly seen as the way forward, but there is a debate about how authorities should convince the public to download a monitoring app — with a carrot or a stick.A week ago, the Health Ministry closed the tender process for proposals for a radical rework of the voluntary Hamagen app, which has been widely criticized for its poor functionality. The ministry told applicants that it aims to get 4 million citizens using the app, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees it as the next stage in phone tracking.One of the ideas submitted to the Health Ministry involves an app design that would sanction citizens unless they sign up for its “voluntary” surveillance, banning them from some public spaces and transportation.“If we don’t do this we’re going to have a second wave and a third wave,” said Ido Erev, a behavioral scientist who was part of the consortium behind this proposal, which is being led by the tech company Ewave.Netanyahu framed Wednesday’s unanimous decision by ministers to back resumption of Shin Bet phone tracking — a move that is now pending final approval by Knesset — as a temporary solution until a sophisticated voluntary app is produced.“We want to locate those who have been around infected or contagious people so that they cannot spread the disease,” Netanyahu said. “I have asked to accelerate the development of the digital application that is designed to achieve this goal.”He hoped this would take “weeks,” and is looking to use security services “until then.”Tehila Shwartz Altshuler (Courtesy of Tehila Shwartz Altshuler)-Tehilla Schwartz Altshuler of the Israel Democracy Institute, a leading Israeli thinker on media and technology, highlighted the urgency of shifting to a voluntary method.“We need to work in a different way,” she said, adding: “Many democracies are using apps, and Israel is the only democracy using secret services.”Erev, professor at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, believes that such an app, built especially for mass contact-tracing as opposed to Shin Bet’s systems that aren’t, will be more accurate than anything in use until now, utilizing more pinpointed information so that fewer people will end up in quarantine.Altshuler agrees. “According to our analysis of the data, the ISA [Shin Bet] has a 12% error rate and less than three out of ten every positive cases are detected. Among other reasons, this is due to a lack of accuracy of the technology when its targets are inside buildings.”Many countries, including France, Germany, Denmark, Italy and Switzerland, are encouraging use of voluntary apps that tell people when they have been in contact with carriers so they can self-isolate, and, in some cases, go for testing.Erev thinks that the government should corner citizens into downloading “voluntary” surveillance software, by excluding them from schools and many public places if they don’t.Passengers wearing face masks at the Tel Aviv Savidor Central Railway Station on June 22, 2020. (Avshalom Sassoni/Flash90)The Health Ministry opened a tender for app proposals last month, with a June 15 deadline. Erev, president of the European Association for Decision Making, was part of a proposal that suggested favoring a push to get people using an app.Ido Erev, a behavioral scientist at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. (courtesy of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology)-The proposal he submitted would give citizens a green light status, and remove it if they have been in the proximity of a coronavirus carrier. If they have been compromised, they would need to quarantine, and sometimes get tested too, before regaining their green light status.Erev wants access to public transportation, schools and other public places limited to people who use the tracking app and can show a green “traffic light” on their phone — similar to those used in many parts of China — proving that they haven’t been exposed to coronavirus.He said: “If privacy is important to you don’t install it but if you don’t, you won’t be able to take the train. Schools would be open only for children whose parents have the green light.”But Schwartz Altshuler thinks this model is “too invasive.” She told The Times of Israel that the emphasis should be on gently incentivizing people to download the app.“The way to go is a strong public campaign, and strong positive incentives,” she said, saying that the best strategy isn’t to exclude people from public spaces if they don’t have the app, but to encourage people to download it.“You could, for example, offer vouchers for stores to people who use the app,” she said. “There are lots of possibilities for encouraging it and approaches that can be tried without needing to think about forcing people to download.”Erev disagreed, saying: “People will not do it. It has to be something that will impact daily activity — people won’t install an app for, say 300 shekels, but they will act if they need it to take the bus or go on the train.
”Likud said weighing offering Gantz presidency to skirt rotation agreement-The Times of Israel-Only 40 days into new government and with Blue and White sinking in the polls, officials in Netanyahu’s party reportedly seek to back out of unity deal premier vowed to uphold-By TOI staff-JUNE 26,20-Today, 11:01 am
Little more than a month since the formation of the new government, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party is considering offering Defense Minister Benny Gantz the presidency in 2021 as an “honorable way out” from his rotation deal with the premier amid sliding poll numbers, the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported Friday.Party officials who spoke with the newspaper said it would be unreasonable for Netanyahu to honor his agreement to hand the leadership of the country to Gantz in November 2021 — as he repeatedly vowed to do during the coalition negotiations — if Gantz continues to weaken politically.antz, who now also serves in the newly created post of alternate prime minister, broke up his formidable alliance with Yesh Atid-Telem in order to join Netanyahu’s coalition. He said he did so to end Israel’s year-long political crisis and to allow the government to focus on the unprecedented challenge of the coronavirus pandemic.Yet his uneasy alliance with former foe Netanyahu, who he had repeatedly vowed not to join, has led him to bleed voters who feel betrayed. Recent polls have shown Blue and White dropping from its current 15 to 10-12 seats, with Likud shooting up to 40 seats or more.“It is unreasonable for someone with so much political power to hand over the premiership to someone without any political power,” the paper’s Sima Kadmon writes, citing the thinking among Likud officials.Gantz could decide to go to a new election if Netanyahu fails to honor the rotation deal, but Likud officials say he would then risk crashing to an insignificant number of seats.One Likud minister tells the paper that “elections are not an option for Gantz. It’ll be the end of the road for him politically.”If Gantz agrees to the plan, the report said, the coalition will back his candidacy to replace Reuven Rivlin in mid-2021, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi will replace Gantz in the Defense Ministry, and thus Netanyahu will secure his continued rule while Gantz will avoid a humiliating election defeat.Since Gantz broke his alliance with Yesh Atid’s Yair Lapid and Moshe Ya’alon, they have warned repeatedly — as has Yisrael Beytenu party chief Avigdor Liberman — that Netanyahu would never honor his agreement to step down after 18 months.In a swipe at former partner Gantz following publication of the Yedioth Ahronoth story, Lapid tweeted Friday: “I am against Gantz being president. The job includes too much pressure.”Opposition leader Yair Lapid at the Knesset as the 35th government of Israel is presented on May 17, 2020. (Knesset/Adina Veldman)-Gantz himself clearly does not trust Netanyahu, leading him to anchor his deal with Likud in unprecedented legislation to protect him from the expected betrayal. This includes clauses guaranteeing that if Netanyahu breaks up the coalition to declare a new election, Gantz will automatically become interim prime minister until that election takes place and a new government is formed.In recent days a new crisis has been brewing in the coalition surrounding the new state budget.With budget negotiations expected to be especially difficult in the current unity government due to the inclusion of parties from both the right and the left, Likud and Blue and White included in their coalition agreement a commitment “to pass, in an orderly manner, a biennial state budget for 2020 and 2021.”But citing the rise in coronavirus cases and the uncertainty surrounding the economy, lawmakers from Netanyahu’s bloc within the government have in recent days been touting a one-year budget that deals with only the next four months. This, they asserted, would allow short-term measures to be put in place without limiting future options.The push for a one-year budget, however, has led to concerns in Blue and White that Netanyahu is looking for a way to end his partnership with Gantz, prompting another national election that is expected to greatly benefit him.The coalition deal agreed on by the parties stipulates that if the Knesset fails to pass a budget, leading to new elections, the side that votes for the budget will automatically hold the premiership until the election and formation of a new government. This provides Netanyahu, who holds financial levers in the coalition, with a potential exit window, if he should like to propose a budget Blue and White can’t get behind.Passing a one-year budget until the end of 2020 would then give Netanyahu a possible way to force new elections in 2021 without having to give up the position of prime minister. A two-year budget would prevent that option until 2022.Finance Minister Israel Katz has denied that the move was a pretext for early elections.-“All senior treasury officials, including the head of the budget department, the accountant general and the director-general, wrote an opinion today supporting a one-year budget for economic reasons,” Katz told Channel 12 news last week.He said that a budget for just 2020 would be able to include measures that “will allow the economy and workers to reintegrate” following the shutdown of the economy due to the coronavirus.“By contrast,” Katz warned, “a two-year budget including 2021 will require more aggressive measures.”He added: “I am convinced that there is no intention of using the budget for elections.”But Gantz is reportedly unconvinced that the push by Netanyahu and his allies is entirely non-political.Earlier in the week, a senior Likud source was quoted by Channel 12 as saying that “the marriage between us and Blue and White will end at the Rabbinate [with a divorce] much faster than everyone thinks… Netanyahu is trying to find the right timing and pretext to call elections.” Raoul Wootliff contributed to this report.

UNITED NATIONS — Iran’s UN ambassador said Thursday that he believes a US resolution to extend an arms embargo against his country will be defeated and warned it would be “a very, very big mistake” if the Trump administration then tries to re-impose UN sanctions.Ambassador Majid Ravanchi said restoring UN sanctions will end the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and major powers and release Tehran from all its commitments.“If that happens, Iran will not be under constraint as to what course of action it should take,” he said reporters. “All options for Iran will be open.”Lifting the arms embargo on Tehran is part of the UN 2015 Security Council resolution endorsing the nuclear agreement.Ravanchi spoke a day after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo threatened to seek to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran if the Security Council does not approve a resolution that would indefinitely extend the arms embargo, which is set to expire in October.“Iran will be able to purchase advanced weapons systems and become an arms dealer of choice for terrorists and rogue regimes all throughout the world,” Pompeo said. “This is unacceptable.”Later Wednesday, US Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook and US Ambassador Kelly Craft briefed Security Council members on the US draft resolution that would maintain the arms embargo indefinitely.US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks to the media before departing from al-Bateen Air Base in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, September 19, 2019, as US special representative on Iran Brian Hook, left, listens. (Mandel Ngan/Pool via AP)Tensions between Iran and the US have escalated since 2018, when the Trump administration withdrew from the nuclear deal between Tehran and six major powers and re-imposed crippling US sanctions.The five other powers that signed the nuclear deal — Russia, China, the United Kingdom, France and Germany — remain committed to it, saying the agreement is key to continuing inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency and preventing Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons.Ravanchi said ending the arms embargo in October “is an essential part of the agreement between Iran and its partners.”“We believe there is no stomach for members of the Security Council to digest the draft resolution like the one the US presented,” he said. “So, it is our view that the draft resolution will be defeated.”Ravanchi stressed that Iran will not accept “anything less than full implementation” of the provision lifting the arms embargo.And he added: “It would be a wise idea for the United States to reconsider the presentation of the draft because it’s not going to be approved.”The Iranian ambassador pointed to letters from the foreign ministers of Russia and China, both veto-wielding members of the Security Council, to its members opposing any extension of the arms embargo.The 2015 nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, also includes a “snap back” provision that would restore all UN sanctions against Iran that had been lifted or eased if the nuclear deal is violated.Responding to Pompeo’s threat to use that provision if the US arms embargo resolution isn’t approved, Ravanchi said: “This is a very, very big mistake on the part of the United States to try to snap back the resolution, because they know that is the end of JCPOA, and they should think twice before resorting to that option.”He said Iran and many other Security Council members believe the US has no legal authority to invoke snap back because it is no longer part of the JCPOA.Russia’s UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia has dismissed as “ridiculous” the possibility of the Trump administration trying to use the snap back provision, stressing that since the US pulled out out of the JCPOA “they have no right” to use any of its provisions.But Pompeo and Craft insist the resolution makes clear the US retains the right to use the provision.Ravanchi said the US should ask itself how it will implement snap back in the face of strong opposition to it.And he said the US should also bear in mind the consequences of having no JCPOA, and the consequences of snap back action, including its impact on other Security Council members and the council’s credibility.The ambassador was asked whether ending IAEA inspections, stopping unannounced inspections under the nuclear agency’s additional protocol, or withdrawing from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, considered the cornerstone of global efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, are likely steps Iran would take if the US succeeds in re-imposing UN sanctions.“I am not going to tell you exactly what action we are going to take,” Ravanchi replied. ”There are a number of options available.”

Belgian parliament calls for sanctions against Israel if annexation goes ahead-The Times of Israel-Resolution urging creation of ‘list of efficient counter-measures’ passes with huge majority; second motion urging government to recognize Palestinian state postponed for two weeks-By Raphael Ahren-JUNE 26,20-Today, 9:02 am
The Belgian parliament on Friday morning passed with an overwhelming majority a resolution urging the government to act to prevent Israel from unilaterally annexing parts of the West Bank and to actively advocate for European-wide punitive measures against Jerusalem if it proceeds with its controversial plan.The Chamber of Representatives in Brussels was originally also scheduled to discuss and vote on a motion calling for the recognition of a Palestinian state, but this was postponed due to last-minutes amendments.The resolution “concerning Israel’s annexation of occupied territories in Palestine,” proposed by three politicians from the Greens, passed with 101 ‘yes’ votes and 39 abstentions. No one voted against.The motion urges the government of Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès “to take the initiative with third countries, at European and multilateral levels, to prevent the annexation [by] Israel of the Palestinian territories, or parts of them.”The resolution further calls on Brussels to play a leading role in formulating a “list of efficient counter-measures geared at responding in a proportional manner to any Israeli annexation of occupied Palestinian territory.”The European Union and many of its member states vehemently oppose Israel’s declared goal to annex up to 30 percent of the West Bank as early as July 1, but have not yet formulated any punitive measures against Jerusalem if it were to implement its plan. The EU requires consensus among all 27 member states to apply significant sanctions on Israel, but some countries such as Hungary and Austria are widely expected to veto any harsh measures against the Jewish state.If no consensus can be reached, Belgium should “play an active role in setting up a coalition of like-minded member states to explore possible reactions” to an Israeli annexation, the Belgian lawmakers urged their government.The resolution is not legally binding, but it is considered important, especially because Wilmès since March heads a caretaker minority government that is supposed to focus exclusively on Belgium’s fight against the coronavirus pandemic and its economic fallout.Given this background, analysts estimate that parliamentary resolutions passed with large majorities are more likely to be adopted by the government than otherwise.Israel’s Ambassador to Belgium Emmanuel Nahshon told The Times of Israel on Friday that, “Instead of applying undue pressure on Israel, Belgium should encourage the Palestinians to cease with their persistent refusal and return to negotiations.”In its preamble, the bill twice referred to former Israeli officials having warned against Israel becoming an apartheid state in case of annexation.A senior White House official said Thursday that the Trump administration has not made a final decision in a round of talks about whether to back Israel’s annexation plans. Jerusalem is highly unlikely to move forward without American approval.On Wednesday, the parliament’s foreign affairs committee will again debate the second resolution on Brussels’ recognition of a Palestinian state. It will come back for a plenary vote in two weeks.ack in February 2015, the Belgian parliament passed a resolution urging the government to seek a majority within the European Union for a recognition of a Palestinian state. But the new resolution was much more direct in its demand for immediate recognition.t calls for the “formal recognition of the State of Palestine next to the State of Israel” and urges the government to consider this act “Belgium’s contribution to the solution, based on the coexistence of two democratic and independent states that have the right to live in peace and security, with mutually recognized and respected borders.”The motion further calls on Brussels to advocate for similar recognition by other European states.
Report: Israel has told Abbas it will limit annexation to 2-3 settlement blocs-The Times of Israel-Ramallah official tells TV network message conveyed via Jordan said Jerusalem no longer planning to annex the Jordan Valley-By TOI staff-JUNE 26,20-Today, 12:58 pm
Israel has conveyed a message to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas that its annexation plans have been greatly reduced, will no longer apply to the Jordan Valley and will be limited to only two or three settlements blocs, Channel 12 reported Friday, citing a senior official in Ramallah.The official told the network the message was delivered via Jordan, following Mossad chief Yossi Cohen’s reported meeting on the matter with King Abdullah this week.The official said no specific details were given on the settlements to be annexed, but said the implication was it would be a small number of blocs.The report agreed with another earlier this week, according to which Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi has said that Israel is unlikely to annex the Jordan Valley under the Trump administration’s peace plan.Head of the Mossad Yossi Cohen speaks at a Cyber conference at the Tel Aviv University on June 24, 2019. (Flash90)-“I assume the annexation will not include the Jordan Valley. Everyone understands this,” Ashkenazi told officials in closed-door talks in recent days, according to the Kan public broadcaster.It also was in line with comments earlier this month by top Israeli officials to Zman Yisrael, the Hebrew sister site of The Times of Israel, that Israel will at this stage only annex three West Bank blocs, but not the Jordan Valley or other settlement areas.TV news reports Tuesday night said Netanyahu is hoping to get White House approval for a first phase of annexation that would include not only one or more of the major settlement blocs such as Ma’ale Adumim, Ariel or the Etzion Bloc, but also one or more relatively “isolated” settlements, deeper in the West Bank, to “convey the message” that those more isolated settlements would also not become part of a future Palestinian entity. A potential second phase of annexation would be more extensive — in line with Netanyahu’s pledge to extend Israeli law to all 132 settlements and the Jordan Valley.A Thursday report on Channel 12 said security chiefs were deeply divided on the possible ramifications of annexation, with the chiefs of the military and Mossad at odds on whether the move will be met with significant Palestinian violence or not.Ministers present at a meeting of the high-level security cabinet Wednesday said IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi and Military Intelligence commander Tamir Hayman warned annexation could spark violent unrest in the West Bank, including shooting attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers.IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi speaks at a ceremony in the military’s Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv on June 18, 2020. (Israel Defense Forces)-They also reportedly warned there could be a return of suicide bombings — as there were during the Second Intifada in the early 2000s — and said the move could lead to fighting in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.Mossad chief Yossi Cohen on the other hand was dismissive of the IDF forecasts, the report said.“I don’t accept the claim that annexation will necessary lead to violent responses,” he was quoted as saying in the meeting.According to the report, Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman took the middle ground, saying that while there would be a response to annexation, economic conditions were good enough in the West Bank that he didn’t believe there was a Palestinian interest in “breaking the rules of the game.”As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s intended target date of July 1 to begin annexation approaches, there has been rising international pressure on Israel to abandon the plan.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the area where a new neighborhood is to be built in the East Jerusalem settlement of Har Homa, February 20, 2020. (Debbie Hill/Pool Photo via AP, File)It’s unclear if Israel will move ahead with any annexation on July 1, since the United States is still considering its approval for the plan. Three days of White House discussions on the matter this week concluded without any final decision being made.Blue and White’s Benny Gantz and Ashkenazi — the defense and foreign ministers — have also given the US administration pause by their reluctance ot back the plan. The two have said they will not support annexation that hurts Israel’s relations with its neighbors, particularly Jordan.The United Nations and European and Arab powers on Wednesday warned Israel that its plans to annex Palestinian land would deal a major blow to peace.Meanwhile US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters that “Decisions about Israelis extending sovereignty to those places are decisions for the Israelis to make.”Gantz on Tuesday signaled he could back unilateral annexation of West Bank land, citing persistent refusals by the Palestinians to reach a deal with Israel, while reiterating his demand that the move not endanger Israel’s existing peace agreements.“We won’t continue to wait for the Palestinians. If they say no forever to everything, then we’ll be forced to move forward without them,” Gantz said in a briefing to military reporters.Benny Gantz, head of Blue and White party and MK Gabi Ashkenazi at an election campaign event ahead of the coming Israeli elections, in Kfar Saba on February 12, 2020 (Gili Yaari / Flash90)-Gantz laid out his conditions for annexation, vowing there would be an “organized process” in coordination with the Israel Defense Forces and other security services.He indicated he opposed annexing territory with many Palestinians in it, and that any Palestinians in the territory to be annexed should be offered equal rights. He stressed the need for maintaining freedom of movement for Palestinians in the West Bank. He said annexation should be coordinated with other relevant players — an apparent reference to Jordan, Egypt and others in the region.Gantz is also said to favor that any annexation take place in the context of some kind of wider offer to the Palestinians — “a carrot” along with the stick, according to a Channel 13 report Tuesday night.Agencies contributed to this report.
Israeli annexation bid contradicts its past positions, without legal explanation-The Times of Israel-Analysis-Begin wanted to leave question of sovereignty over West Bank open, Oslo barred both sides from unilaterally changing territory’s status. What justifies the change, and is it legal?-By Raphael Ahren-JUNE 26,20-Today, 6:19 Netanyahu, right, greets students as they wave Israeli flags during a ceremony opening the school year in the settlement of Elkana in the West Bank Sunday, Sep. 1, 2019.

The Jewish people have an undeniable religious and historical connection to the Land of Israel. But can the State of Israel claim a legal right to unilaterally apply its sovereignty to parts of the West Bank, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to do as soon as July 1?“Ever since Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt, through the Sinai desert and to the Land of Israel, returning to the land that God had promised Abraham, Jews have lived and exercised sovereignty in the Promised Land,” Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, told the Security Council on Wednesday.“Even when the Romans destroyed the Second Temple in 70 CE, and the Jews were exiled from their home, Jewish communities survived in Jerusalem and elsewhere in our homeland,” he added in a bid to justify Israel’s possibly imminent annexation.Jews have undoubtedly lived in the holy land for millennia, but the modern State of Israel has never realized its sovereign claims, as understood by international law, over the entire area from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River.A historic insistence on negotiations-Israel became a sovereign country in May 1948 and was admitted to the United Nations as a member state a year later. Its unofficial borders were delineated by the Armistice Lines of 1949 — what is known today as the Green Line.A view of the Jerusalem neighborhood of Ramot, most of which lies over the Green Line. (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)-In the Armistice Agreement with Jordan of April 1949, Israel stressed that it was not giving up any territorial claims it might have, but it did not actually realize sovereign title over any territory beyond the Green Line until 1967, when it captured and incorporated the eastern part of Jerusalem. In 1981, the Knesset passed a law applying Israeli law, jurisdiction and administration on the Golan Heights, a move widely understood as an act to acquire sovereignty.However, for decades successive Israeli governments argued that the rest of the West Bank, which it had captured in a defensive war, was territory over which sovereignty was disputed or undetermined, and that the last power that legitimately held sovereignty over it was the Ottoman Empire.Before the 1990s, Jerusalem simply held that the West Bank currently had no sovereign and proposed to leave competing claims over the territory unanswered.“Israel stands by its right and its claim of sovereignty to Judea, Samaria and the Gaza district. In the knowledge that other claims exist, it proposes, for the sake of the agreement of the peace, that the question of sovereignty in these areas be left open,” prime minister Menachem Begin’s so-called self-rule plan of 1977 stated.In the more recent past, up until the present day, Israel — while officially maintaining its legal claim — has been committed to the position that the final status of the West Bank must be determined in future negotiations.“Neither side shall initiate or take any step that will change the status of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip pending the outcome of the permanent status negotiations,” according to article 31(7) of the 1995 Oslo Accords.Rabin and Arafat sign maps prior to the Oslo II signing ceremony at the White House, as US president Bill Clinton, Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak and Jordan’s King Hussein look on, September 28, 1995 (photo credit: GPO)-This remained Jerusalem’s position over the yearsThe government continued to consider its presence in the territory a belligerent occupation, despite officials eschewing this term. While there was vehement disagreement over whether Israel was allowed to build settlements in the West Bank, there was little question that legally the status quo was considered temporary and could only be altered by an agreement between the parties.In January 2017, Jerusalem rejected a French peace conference that sought to galvanize support for the internationally accepted parameters of an Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty, dismissing it as “an attempt to circumvent the route of direct negotiations between the parties.”Later that year, the Foreign Ministry, in pamphlets with talking points on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, again underlined its position that competing claims over the West Bank must be resolved in peace talks.Agreements signed between Israel and the Palestinians “specifically provided that the issue of [West Bank] settlements is reserved for permanent status negotiations, reflecting the understanding of both sides that this issue can only be resolved alongside other permanent status issues, such as borders and security,” the brochure about settlements read.Oslo’s prohibition against unilaterally altering the status of the territories “was agreed upon in order to prevent either side from taking steps which purport to change the legal status of this territory (such as by annexation or unilateral declaration of statehood), pending the outcome of permanent status negotiations,” the booklet quotes the Foreign Ministry’s formal position.Then-deputy FM Tzipi Hotovely in Kibbutz Kfar Etzion, June 7, 2017. (Gershon Elinson/Flash90)-Ironically, perhaps, these pamphlets were commissioned by then-deputy foreign minister Tzipi Hotovely — the current minister for settlement affairs and long a strong advocate for unilateral annexation.In December 2019 — three months after Netanyahu first announced his intention to unilaterally annex the Jordan Valley — Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit reiterated that, “sovereignty over the West Bank and the Gaza Strip is presently in abeyance [i.e. territory over which sovereignty claims have yet to be determined], with current Israeli-Palestinian agreements explicitly enumerating ‘borders’ among those issues to be settled through bilateral permanent status negotiations.”So what has changed? What explanation has Netanyahu’s government provided for its sudden about-face? What changed that would allow Jerusalem to violate its own position that says that the territorial dispute with Ramallah must be solved in bilateral talks and cannot be determined by the whims of either side?The answer may be found not in international law or regional developments, but mainly in the American political calendar. US President Donald Trump has given a green light, at least in principle, to Israeli annexation, and Netanyahu is aware that this light will turn red if a Democrat wins the White House in November.“We face a historic opportunity to apply sovereignty to areas of Judea and Samaria,” the prime minister said earlier this month.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, left, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, center, and then-Tourism Minister Yariv Levin during a meeting to discuss mapping extension of Israeli sovereignty to areas of the West Bank, held in the Ariel settlement, February 24, 2020. (David Azagury/US Embassy Jerusalem)-To be sure, there are also some legal arguments in favor of immediate annexation. Advocates of annexation argue that Israel has longstanding valid claims to the territory and, after exhausting several efforts to reach an agreement with the Palestinians, is finally realizing its rights.“Israel already governs the territory in question, as it has since 1967,” Eugene Kontorovich, the director of the Center for the Middle East and International Law at George Mason University, wrote this week in the Wall Street Journal.“But at that time Israel didn’t fully apply its domestic laws there, leaving it under military administration. Israel expected the Arab states to sue for peace after the Six-Day War, and it was prepared to transfer some of the land to them. There was no point in hurriedly applying Israeli law to territory that might not remain Israeli after a peace settlement.”Israel’s occupation of the West Bank was meant to be temporary, but the Palestinians rejected various Israeli overtures that would have led to Palestinian statehood. Meanwhile, nearly half a million Israelis have moved to settlements in the West Bank, where they are “still governed by an odd patchwork of military regulations,” according to Kontorovich. “As a result, property is governed by obscure Ottoman land law. Permission for infrastructure projects is difficult and burdensome. Most Israeli environmental regulations don’t apply.”Therefore, he reasoned, after 53 years of Palestinian rejectionism, “it is hard to argue that the legal regulation of these communities must remain in limbo until a far-off peace deal is signed.”Applying Israeli civil law to Jewish settlements should not be considered an annexation of Palestinian land but rather “a long overdue recognition of Israel’s legal and moral rights, a step that can no longer be deferred by the Palestinian refusal to make peace,” he concluded.Oslo is still relevant, according to Mandelblit.There are also potential arguments to dismiss Israel’s commitment under the Oslo Accords not to unilaterally change the status quo on any of the final status issues. For instance, Israel can point to several violations of the agreement by the Palestinian Authority, primarily its efforts toward international recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state.But does a violation of a bilateral agreement by one side entitle the other side to carry out violations as well? International law knows a concept called “countermeasures” that a state can take if another country violates a bilateral treaty. Could an Israeli annexation be explained as an appropriate countermeasure to Ramallah’s statehood bid or other Palestinian violations of Oslo?Mandelblit in December appeared to suggest that his answer would be no.Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit speaks at the 17th annual Jerusalem Conference of the ‘Besheva’ group, on February 24, 2020. (Olivier Fitoussi/Flash90)“Despite the repeated breaches by the Palestinians, the bilateral Israeli-Palestinian agreements continue to form the applicable legal framework governing the conduct of the parties,” he wrote in a paper arguing that the International Criminal Court does not have criminal jurisdiction over the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza.“This has repeatedly been acknowledged by the parties, including most recently and in writing, despite isolated political statements to the contrary by some Palestinian officials,” Mandelblit wrote.Either way, most of the international community considers unilateral annexation illegal under international law, due to the inadmissibility of acquisition of territory by force, a principle anchored in the UN charter. The argument that Israel is no longer bound by the agreements it struck with the PA in the 1990s does not take Israel very far, as such a move would still be unlawful, with or without Oslo.Still, the attorney general would not necessarily oppose annexation on legal grounds, or even refuse to defend it in court, as some in the Hebrew press have suggested.True, Mandelblit opposed the so-called Regulation law, which sought to retroactively legalize settlements built on private Palestinian land, but he did this because he insists such legislation violates Israel’s existing property laws.A Palestinian woman points to the land she claims belongs to her family before Israel established the West Bank settlement of Amona in 1996, November 2016 (Raphael Ahren/TOI)-But whether he would reject annexation is a more complicated issue. While such a move would be widely seen as a violation of international law, it is unclear if it violates Israeli domestic law — which is the question that may matter before Israeli courts.The attorney general might make the case for the legality of annexation, or he might argue that it violates customary international law, which is seen as part of Israeli domestic law. However, this obstacle could possibly be overcome if annexation was advanced through specific legislation, as domestic laws would outweigh Israel’s international legal obligations.Still, the legal waters Israel would find itself in if Netanyahu proceeds with his annexation plan appear more than murky, as the gambit contradicts Israel’s own past positions without any legally sound explanation. Many questions — about how Israel would justify this decision, and which legal implications it would have domestically and internationally — remain unanswered. And Netanyahu’s target date is just a few days away.

LONDON, ONT. -- A physics and astronomy PhD student at Western University may have uncovered something no one else has yet.Chris Fox, supported by his professor Paul Wiegert, has identified six potential new spots in the sky.“We think we have found a signal which would indicate a number of exomoons."Exomoons orbit exoplanets (defined as planets outside of our solar system), or at least that’s the theory.The problem is, while we know exoplanets exist, science has never been able to definitively identify an exomoon.But Fox’s discovery puts us closer.Using data from the recently decommissioned Kepler space telescope, Fox was about to locate and name six potential exomoons candidatesThey are between 200 and 3000 light years away from earth.It’s a neat discovery for an PhD student, but it’s also an important revelation for the age old question, “Are we alone?”“But by looking for exomoons, we can really expand the number of potential places that there could be life, or that we may want to go one day,” Fox tells CTV News.He says the presence of moons increases the likelihood a habitable world might be found.His findings, now submitted to a science journal, were determined by looking for variances in gravitational pull of a moon's parent planet. Fox says dips in light were a tell-tale sign.“Some cases we see this light not being periodic. It’s not occurring where it's supposed to be. So that’s where we are hypothesizing that’s what’s the moon is doing. The moon is causing an offset. It’s like a reflex action on the planet.”Yet, until better telescopes exist, the pattern changes are the only way to suggest exomoons are there.Fox’s hope is to one day have new technologies in his hands to make the conclusion, definitively
