Doubling official total, WHO reports nearly 15 million deaths associated with COVID-Current official death toll is over 6 million; US surpasses 1 million deaths-By Maria Cheng-6 May 2022, 12:41 am

LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 15 million people were killed either by coronavirus or by its impact on overwhelmed health systems during the first two years of the pandemic, more than double the current official death toll of over 6 million.Most of the deaths occurred in Southeast Asia, Europe and the Americas, according to a WHO report issued Thursday.The UN health agency’s director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, described the calculated figure as “sobering,” saying it should prompt countries to invest more in their capacities to quell future health emergencies.On Wednesday, reports indicated that in the United States alone, the number of COVID-19 deaths had surpassed 1 million, some 27 months after the country confirmed its first case.WHO tasked scientists with determining the actual number of COVID-19 deaths between January 2020 and the end of last year. They estimated that between 13.3 million and 16.6 million people died either due to the coronavirus directly or because of factors somehow attributed to the pandemic’s impact on health systems, such as cancer patients who were unable to seek treatment when hospitals were full of COVID patients.Based on that range, the scientists came up with an approximated total of 14.9 million.The estimate was based on country-reported data and statistical modeling, but only about half of countries provided information. WHO said it wasn’t yet able to break down the data to distinguish between direct deaths from COVID-19 and those related to the effects of the pandemic, but the agency plans a future project examining death certificates.“This may seem like just a bean-counting exercise, but having these WHO numbers is so critical to understanding how we should combat future pandemics and continue to respond to this one,” said Dr. Albert Ko, an infectious diseases specialist at the Yale School of Public Health who was not linked to the WHO research.For example, Ko said, South Korea’s decision to invest heavily in public health after it suffered a severe outbreak of MERS allowed it to escape COVID-19 with a per-capita death rate around a 20th of the one in the US.Accurately counting COVID-19 deaths has been problematic throughout the pandemic, as reports of confirmed cases represent only a fraction of the devastation wrought by the virus, largely because of limited testing. Government figures reported to WHO and a separate tally kept by Johns Hopkins University show more than 6.2 million reported virus deaths to date.Scientists at the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington calculated in a recent study published in the journal Lancet that there were more than 18 million COVID deaths from January 2020 to December 2021.A team led by Canadian researchers estimated there were more than 3 million uncounted coronavirus deaths in India alone. WHO’s new analysis estimated that missed deaths in India ranged between 3.3 million to 6.5 million.In a statement following the release of WHO’s data, India disputed the UN agency’s methodology. India’s Health and Family Welfare Ministry called the analysis and data collection methods “questionable” and complained that the new death estimates were released “without adequately addressing India’s concerns.”Samira Asma, a senior WHO director, acknowledged that “numbers are sometimes controversial” and that all estimates are only an approximation of the virus’ catastrophic effects.“It has become very obvious during the entire course of the pandemic there have been data that is missing,” Asma told reporters during a press briefing on Thursday. “Basically, all of us were caught unprepared.”Ko said the new figures from WHO might also explain some lingering mysteries about the pandemic, like why Africa appears to have been one of the least affected by the virus, despite its low vaccination rates.“Were the mortality rates so low because we couldn’t count the deaths, or was there some other factor to explain that?” he asked, citing the far higher mortality rates in the US and Europe.Dr. Bharat Pankhania, a public health specialist at Britain’s University of Exeter, said the world may never get close to measuring the true toll of COVID-19, particularly in poor countries.“When you have a massive outbreak where people are dying in the streets because of a lack of oxygen, bodies were abandoned or people had to be cremated quickly because of cultural beliefs, we end up never knowing just how many people died,” he explained.Pankhania said that while the estimated COVID-19 death toll still pales in comparison to the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, which experts estimate caused up to 100 million deaths, the fact that so many people died despite the advances of modern medicine, including vaccines, is shameful.He also warned that the cost of COVID-19 could be far more damaging in the long term, given the increasing burden of caring for people with long COVID.“With the Spanish flu, there was the flu and then there were some [lung] illnesses people suffered, but that was it,” he said. “There was not an enduring immunological condition that we’re seeing right now with COVID.”“We do not know the extent to which people with long COVID will have their lives cut short and if they will have repeated infections that will cause them even more problems,” Pankhania said.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Scroll back up to restore default view.Yahoo Finance-COVID-19: 'We might not be in a great spot in the fall,' says Moderna CEO-Anjalee Khemlani·Senior Reporter-Thu, May 5, 2022, 3:08 p.m.

The majority of Moderna's (MNRA) revenue comes from governments abroad — which are bracing are for an ongoing need for COVID-19 vaccines this year.While the U.S. waits on funding and for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to decide on which virus strain to attack through boosters, Moderna and other vaccine companies are anticipating waning immunity to become a concern."This virus is not getting less infectious," Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel told Yahoo Finance. "As you see more and more infectious variants ... We are not done with this virus mutating," he said.The biggest risk in the fall, if boosting is delayed, is the potential for hospitals to fill up with those that are the most vulnerable all over again, Bancel said.The increased circulation from the intersection of waning immunity and a more transmissible variant, as is being observed with more Omicron subvariants in the U.S. and abroad, is the real risk, he said."We have a risk in the fall — if we don't have the booster campaign early enough —that we might not be in a great spot in the fall," Bancel said.Meanwhile, increased global circulation also feeds into the sprouting of more variants.Of the $5.9 billion in revenue from the vaccine in the first quarter of this year — a significant jump from $1.7 billion in Q1 2021 — a majority is coming from countries other than the U.S., according to Moderna.Meanwhile, the World Health Organization has been pushing the company to share its vaccine recipe even as it fails to order more doses through the COVAX facility program for lower and middle income countries.Moderna said during its annual shareholder meeting that it is selling its vaccine as low as $7 per dose to those countries and has waived its patent enforcement of the vaccine, in addition to its plans for a plant in Kenya in the coming years.In an earnings call Wednesday, chief financial officer David Meline said COVAX is another source of uncertainty for the company's 2022 projections.COVAX is "actually the consolidator of demand from countries" and needs to confirm the requests per country before confirming its order to Moderna, Meline said.

Marjorie Taylor Greene cleared to run for reelection after insurrection charges-Judge finds insufficient evidence to support claims that firebrand Republican lawmaker helped instigate Jan. 6 storming of US Capitol-By Kate Brumback-MAY 7,22-Today, 1:45 am

ATLANTA  (AP) — Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger accepted a judge’s findings Friday and said US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is qualified to run for reelection despite claims by a group of voters that she had engaged in insurrection.Georgia Administrative Law Judge Charles Beaudrot issued a decision just hours earlier that Green was eligible to run, finding that the voters hadn’t produced sufficient evidence to support their claims. After Raffensperger adopted the judge’s decision, the group that filed the complaint on behalf of the voters vowed to appeal.Before reaching his decision, Beaudrot had held a daylong hearing in April that included arguments from lawyers for the voters and for Greene, as well as extensive questioning of Greene herself. He also received additional filings from both sides.Raffensperger is being challenged by a candidate backed by former President Donald Trump in the state’s May 24 GOP primary after he refused to bend to pressure from Trump to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia. Raffensperger could have faced huge blowback from right-wing voters if he had disagreed with Beaudrot’s findings.Raffensperger wrote in his “final decision” that typical challenges to a candidate’s eligibility have to do with questions about residency or whether they have paid their taxes. Such challenges are allowed under a procedure outlined in Georgia law.“In this case, Challengers assert that Representative Greene’s political statements and actions disqualify her from office,” Raffensperger’s decision said. “That is rightfully a question for the voters of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District.”The challenge to Greene’s eligibility was filed by Free Speech for People, a national election and campaign finance reform group, for five voters in her district who allege the GOP congresswoman played a significant role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot that disrupted Congress’ certification of Biden’s presidential victory. They had argued that put her in violation of a seldom-invoked part of the 14th Amendment having to do with insurrection and makes her ineligible to run for reelection.Greene applauded Beaudrot’s decision and called the challenge to her eligibility an “unprecedented attack on free speech, on our elections, and on you, the voter.”“But the battle is only beginning,” she said in a statement. “The left will never stop their war to take away our freedoms.” She added, “This ruling gives me hope that we can win and save our country.”Free Speech for People, a national election and campaign finance reform group, filed the challenge on behalf of the voters. The group had sent a letter to Raffensperger on Friday urging him to reject the judge’s recommendation. They have 10 days to appeal his decision in Fulton County Superior Court.The group said in a statement that Beaudrot’s decision “betrays the fundamental purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause and gives a pass to political violence as a tool for disrupting and overturning free and fair elections.”During the April 22 hearing, Ron Fein, a lawyer for the voters, noted that in a TV interview the day before the attack at the US Capitol, Greene said the next day would be “our 1776 moment.” Lawyers for the voters said some supporters of then-President Trump used that reference to the American Revolution as a call to violence.“In fact, it turned out to be an 1861 moment,” Fein said, alluding to the start of the Civil War..Greene is a conservative firebrand and Trump ally who has become one of the GOP’s biggest fundraisers in Congress by stirring controversy and pushing baseless conspiracy theories. During the recent hearing, she repeated the unfounded claim that widespread fraud led to Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, said she didn’t recall various incendiary statements and social media posts attributed to her. She denied ever supporting violence.Greene acknowledged encouraging a rally to support Trump, but she said she wasn’t aware of plans to storm the Capitol or disrupt the electoral count using violence. Greene said she feared for her safety during the riot and used social media posts to encourage people to be safe and stay calm.The challenge to her eligibility was based on a section of the 14th Amendment that says no one can serve in Congress “who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.” Ratified shortly after the Civil War, it was meant in part to keep representatives who had fought for the Confederacy from returning to Congress.Greene “urged, encouraged and helped facilitate violent resistance to our own government, our democracy and our Constitution,” Fein said, concluding: “She engaged in insurrection.”James Bopp, a lawyer for Greene, argued his client engaged in protected political speech and was, herself, a victim of the attack on the Capitol, not a participant.Beaudrot wrote that there’s no evidence that Greene participated in the attack on the Capitol or that she communicated with or gave directives to people who were involved.“Whatever the exact parameters of the meaning of ‘engage’ as used in the 14th Amendment, and assuming for these purposes that the Invasion was an insurrection, Challengers have produced insufficient evidence to show that Rep. Greene ‘engaged’ in that insurrection after she took the oath of office on January 3, 2021,” he wrote.Greene’s “public statements and heated rhetoric” may have contributed to the environment that led to the attack, but they are protected by the First Amendment, Beaudrot wrote.“Expressing constitutionally-protected political views, no matter how aberrant they may be, prior to being sworn in as a Representative is not engaging in insurrection under the 14th Amendment,” he said.US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene sits in a courtroom, Friday, April 22, 2022, in Atlanta. A judge in Georgia on Friday, May 6, found that Green can run for reelection, rejecting arguments from a group of voters who had challenged her eligibility over allegations that she engaged in insurrection. But the decision will ultimately be up to Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.(AP Photo/John Bazemore, Pool, File)-On social media, she has voiced support for racist views, unfounded QAnon pro-Trump conspiracy theories such as the lie that the 2020 election was stolen, and calls for violence against Democratic politicians, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California.Last February, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell called her embrace of conspiracy theories and “loony lies” a “cancer for the Republican Party.” The Democratic-led House that same month tossed her from her two committee assignments, the House Education and Labor Committee and the House Budget Committee.In January Twitter said it had permanently banned Taylor Greene’s personal account due to misinformation on COVID-19 policy, but the ban does not affect her official Twitter account, @RepMTG.In 2018, two years before her election to Congress, she speculated on Facebook that California wildfires may have been caused by “lasers or blue beams of light” controlled by a left-wing cabal tied to a powerful Jewish family.That year she also shared a video, also on Facebook, that lambasted “Zionist supremacists” and advanced the “great replacement” theory, which falsely alleges that Jews are conspiring to undermine white-majority countries by bringing in non-white immigrants.ToI Staff contributed to this report

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis on Saturday blasted Catholics who, hewing to old-school versions of liturgy like the Latin Mass, have made an ideological battleground of the issue, decrying what he described as devil-inspired divisiveness in the church.Francis pressed his papacy’s battle against traditionalists, whose prominent members include some ultra-conservative cardinals. They have resisted restrictions, imposed last year by the Vatican, on celebrations of the old Mass in Latin in St. Peter’s Basilica and, more generally, for years have disparaged the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s.Speaking at the Vatican to instructors and students of the Pontifical Liturgical Institute, Francis said it’s not possible to worship God while using the liturgy as a “battleground” for nonessential questions that divide the church.Francis has made clear he prefers Mass celebrated in local languages, with the priest facing the congregation instead of with his back to the pews. That was the way Mass was celebrated before the revolutionary Vatican Council reforms, more than a half century-ago, which aimed at making rank-and-file Catholics feel more connected to liturgical celebrations."I underline again that liturgical life, and the study of it, must lead to greater ecclesial unity, not to division,'' the pope told the institute's participants. "When liturgical life is a bit of a banner for division, there is the odor of the devil being inside there, the deceiver.''"It's not possible to render worship to God and at the same time make a battleground of liturgy for questions that aren't essential,'' Francis added.Last year, two prominent cardinals questioned the legitimacy of a Vatican decree placing restrictions of the celebration of the old Latin Mass in St. Peter's Basilica and forbidding private Masses in its side chapels.Such traditionalists have openly voiced hostility to Francis. The retired chief of the Vatican's doctrinal orthodoxy office, German Cardinal Gerhard Mueller, contended that no one was obliged to obey that decree. U.S. Cardinal Raymond Burke, who was given the heave-ho by Francis early in his papacy from a Vatican post, called for the decree to be scrapped.Francis told his audience on Saturday that “every reform creates some resistance.” He recalled that, when he was a youngster, Pope Pius XII allowed faithful to drink water before receiving Communion and that scandalized opponents.(backslash)Similar indignation followed later reforms allowing Catholics to fulfill their weekly Mass obligation by attending an evening service instead of on Sunday mornings.Francis also blasted what he called “closed mentalities" that exploit the liturgy.“This is the drama we are living, in ecclesial groups which are moving away from the Church, putting in question” the authority of bishops and of the church, he said.In 2016, a breakaway traditionalist Catholic group, the Society of St. Pius X, accused Francis of sowing confusion and errors about the faith, joining a chorus of conservative criticism over what they perceived as the pontiff's lax doctrine.In 1969, the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre founded the society, opposed to the modernizing church reforms of the 1960s. In one of the more spectacular chapters of the Vatican's long-running duel with traditionalists, he and four other bishops were later excommunicated by the Vatican after the archbishop consecrated them without papal consent.

Jordan: A 'flagrant and grave breach of international law' US slams slated settlement approvals: ‘Deeply damages prospect for 2 state solution’ State Department spokeswoman expresses Biden administration’s ‘strong opposition’ hours after Israel announces plan to green-light 4,000 units for Jewish towns in West Bank-By Jacob Magid-MAY 7,22-Today, 12:30 am

The Biden administration on Friday blasted Israeli plans to advance nearly 4,000 settlement homes in the West Bank, saying the measure “deeply damages the prospects for a two-state solution.”“The Biden Administration has been clear on this from the outset. We strongly oppose the expansion of settlements which exacerbates tensions and undermines trust between the parties,” said State Department deputy spokeswoman Jalina Porter during a phone briefing with reporters. “Israel’s program of expanding settlements deeply damages the prospects for a two-state solution.”Pressed whether there would be repercussions for Jerusalem if it moves forward with the expansion beyond the Green Line, Porter declined to offer any, instead referring to a long-used US talking point calling on the sides “to avoid unilateral steps that exacerbate tensions.”She began the call by condemning the Thursday terror attack in Elad in which three Israelis were killed and four were injured.Jordan’s Foreign Ministry also condemned the slated settlement approvals calling them a “flagrant and grave breach of international law.”It also lambasted a Wednesday decision by Israel’s High Court of Justice allowing Israeli authorities to evict some 1,300 Palestinians living in an area the IDF seeks to use as a training zone.Like the US, Amman said the Israeli actions in the West Bank undermine efforts to reach a two-state solution. While some previous Israeli governments backed the framework for peace with the Palestinians, and former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu principally endorsed the vision in a 2009 speech at Bar Ilan University, he gradually moved Jerusalem away from the concept in the years that followed. His successor Naftali Bennett has long opposed a two-state solution and refuses to even hold negotiations with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.Earlier Friday, the Defense Ministry body that authorizes settlement construction released the agenda for its next meeting on Thursday, revealing that it is slated to green-light 2,536 homes through the final planning stage while advancing another 1,452 homes through an earlier stage in the permitting process known as deposit.The expected approvals will come just over a month before a planned visit to Israel by US President Joe Biden.Washington has repeatedly said Israeli settlements threaten a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. When Israel advanced some 3,000 settlement homes last October, the State Department called it “completely inconsistent with efforts to lower tensions and restore calm.” Several weeks later, Israel retreated from plans for a massive construction project near Atarot in East Jerusalem following US pressure.The premier’s office notified the Biden administration ahead of time of its plans to reconvene the Defense Ministry body that authorizes settlement construction, an Israeli official said. The official noted that the Americans reiterated their opposition to such moves, but denied a report of an ultimatum from Washington.US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides told Axios that he and other Biden officials implored Israel not to move forward with the plans.While they did not succeed in convincing Israel to hold off entirely, Jerusalem did agree to slim down the Civil Administration High Planning Subcommittee agenda for next Thursday’s meeting from 5,800 to 4,000 homes, Axios reported.As it did with the last batch of green-lit settlement plans, the Defense Ministry will also advance building projects for Palestinians in areas of the West Bank under its civilian control, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel.Israel captured East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza in 1967 during the Six-Day War. Palestinians hope to establish an independent state on the territories.While most of the 25 projects slated to be advanced next week are for settlements located closer to the Green Line, other plans slated to be green-lit are for settlements located deep in the West Bank, east of the security barrier. This includes a project for 56 homes in Negohot, which will be advanced through the deposit stage, and a plan for 534 homes in Shevut Rachel and 114 homes in Ma’aleh Michmash that are expected to be advanced through the final planning stage.In addition to adding thousands of new homes, the plans will retroactively legalize the Mitzpeh Dani and Oz V’gaon outposts. The former is a wildcat neighborhood of the Ma’aleh Michmash settlement in the heart of the West Bank and the latter is a nature reserve and education center that was built following the kidnap and murder of Israeli teens Gil-ad Shaer, Eyal Yifrach and Naftali Fraenkel in the summer of 2014.

Move comes weeks before Biden expected to visit-Israel set to advance 4,000 settlement homes, testing US opposition-Officials deny report White House threatened to nix upcoming Biden trip over approvals, but say it made its position against the plan clear; 2 outposts to get retroactive approval-By Jacob Magid and Aaron Boxerman-6 May 2022, 5:11 pm

Israel is set to advance plans for nearly 4,000 housing units in Israeli settlements in the West Bank next week, despite firm American opposition to settlement construction.The Defense Ministry said 2,536 units are slated to be green-lit through the final planning stage by the Civil Administration’s Higher Planning Subcommittee at the Thursday meeting, while another 1,452 will advance through an earlier stage in the permitting process known as deposit.The expected approvals will come just over a month before a planned visit to Israel by US President Joe Biden.Washington has repeatedly said Israeli settlements threaten a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. When Israel advanced some 3,000 settlement homes last October, the State Department called it “completely inconsistent with efforts to lower tensions and restore calm.” Several weeks later, Israel retreated from plans for a massive construction project near Atarot in East Jerusalem following US pressure.Over the past several years, Israel has approved new batches of settlements on a quarterly basis, though gaps between meetings of the Higher Planning Subcommittee have sometimes extended longer during sensitive diplomatic periods. The committee operates under the Defense Ministry’s Civil Administration, which administers West Bank construction in areas under full Israeli civilian control.Over six months have passed since the last meeting, but pressure had been growing in recent weeks on Prime Minister Naftali Bennett from within his own party to push ahead new housing construction beyond the Green Line.The premier’s office notified the Biden administration ahead of time of its plans to reconvene the Defense Ministry body that authorizes settlement construction, an Israeli official said. The official noted that the Americans reiterated their opposition to such moves, but denied a report of an ultimatum from Washington.“They emphasized their long-held position, but there wasn’t a threat,” the Israeli official said.Two other sources familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel that no conditions were placed on Biden’s visit, calling a Channel 12 news report alleging the contrary baseless.Channel 12 had reported earlier Friday that the White House had conditioned Biden’s scheduled trip to Israel on there being no announcements of new settlement construction.Nir Orbach, a Knesset Member from Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s hardline Yamina faction, responded with a statement that “anyone who does not recognize Israel’s right to build in Judea and Samaria is welcome not to come.”As it did with the last batch of green-lit settlement plans, the Defense Ministry will also advance building projects for Palestinians in areas of the West Bank under its civilian control, an Israeli official told The Times of IsraelIsrael captured the West Bank and Gaza in 1967 during the Six-Day War. Palestinians hope to establish an independent state on the territories.While most of the 25 projects slated to be advanced next week are for settlements located closer to the Green Line, other plans slated to be green-lit are for settlements located deep in the West Bank, east of the security barrier.

It’s no government of change. They continue to build in the West Bank and destroy the possibility of peace,” said Hagit Ofran, a lead researcher at Peace Now, comparing the current administration to the previous one.Settler leaders appeared unappeased by the plans, calling the pending approvals too modest in scope and charging that the tranche had shrunk by some 2,000 units planned for outside the major settlement blocs.“All the outline plans in Samaria which weren’t in the ‘settlement blocs,’ according to the loose leftist definition, were removed…despite the clear promises that were given,” lamented Yossi Dagan, who chairs the Samaria Regional Council.The current Israeli government is fundamentally split on West Bank settlements. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is a prominent settler advocate who has faced pressure from within his embattled Yamina party to advance more construction.“Building in Judea and Samaria is fundamental, essential, and goes without saying,” said Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked (Yamina).The right-wing New Hope party, led by Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar, called West Bank settlement construction a proper response to the recent wave of Palestinian terror attacks.“The enemies of Israel must know that the people of Israel are adamant in their desire to strengthen Jewish settlement, especially in Judea and Samaria,” New Hope said in a statement.But the fragile, diverse coalition also contains the Islamist Ra’am party and left-wing Zionist parties, such as Meretz, who oppose settlement construction.“This is immoral and harms the future of Israeli citizens,” Meretz lawmaker Mossi Raz said in a statement.Defense Minister Benny Gantz, who oversees Israeli military rule in the West Bank, has advanced both settlement construction and legalized some Palestinian housing. In November, the Defense Ministry advanced around 1,300 Palestinian homes alongside some 3,000 settlement units.During an official visit by then-vice president Biden in 2010, the Interior Ministry announced that 1,600 housing units would be built in the neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo, in a part of Jerusalem captured by Israel from Jordan in the 1967 war. The declaration embarrassed Biden, and sparked a crisis with the Obama Administration.Biden fumed at the time, saying in a statement that the new construction “undermines the trust we need right now and runs counter to the constructive discussions that I’ve had here in Israel.” Then prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized to Biden for the timing of the announcement, and clarified that the beginning of construction on the particular project would likely take several years.

Officials expect terror wave to last all year — report-Security source tells Kan public broadcaster 66 attacks prevented since mid-March, over 500 suspects arrested, even as authorities struggle to crack down on violence-By TOI staff-6 May 2022, 11:03 pm

Security officials reportedly expect a recent wave of deadly terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank to last throughout the entire year.Israel’s security forces have struggled to put a lid on the Palestinian violence, despite large deployments of troops and police, and other efforts to crack down on terror activity.According to the Kan public broadcaster, officials believe the attacks will continue for several more months, possibly lasting for an entire year, similar to a wave of attacks in late 2015 and throughout 2016. The network did not say what information the pessimistic assessment was based on.Three people were killed Thursday night in an attack by axe- and knife-wielding terrorists in Elad, bringing the death toll from terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank since March 22 to 19.A security official quoted by the network said at least 66 terror attacks were foiled since mid-March, the beginning of the wave of recent attacks. The source added that more than 500 individuals suspected of terror activity have been arrested.The army has stepped up its West Bank activities in an attempt to crack down on the spiraling violence by arresting Palestinians involved in carrying out or planning attacks.The ensuing raids sparked clashes that left at least 27 Palestinians dead. Many of those took part in the clashes, while others appeared to have been civilians.There have also been frequent clashes between Palestinians and police on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in recent weeks, which officials believe is fueling some of the attacks. The violence echoed scenes from last year when rioting at the site helped spark a war between Israel and Gaza-based terror groups led by Hamas.In a Saturday speech, Yahya Sinwar, chief of the Hamas terror group in Gaza, threatened violent consequences should Jewish Israelis continue visiting the site.While Hamas has not taken responsibility for most of the attacks since March 22, Sinwar has repeatedly called for Palestinians to assault Israelis and the group has publicly praised the perpetrators, encouraging more attacks.

HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.(IN 1 HR THE STOCK MARKETS WORLDWIDE WILL CRASH)
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed:(CONFISCATED) their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

Dow Falls over 1,000 Points due to Inflation, Rate Hikes-Arjun Singh-Thu, May 5, 2022, 5:09 PM

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by over 1,120 points on May 5 as investors reflected concerns about the economy and interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.From the beginning of trading this morning, the Dow began losing value as investors sold stock in large quantities, and it closed more than 3 percent down. Similar market-wide losses were experienced on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite indices. These declines marked the worst day for the market in 2022.The loss comes after a week of significant volatility in the markets. On May 4, the Dow surged 932 points, while other indices saw similar increases. Just two days prior, however, the Dow had experienced its biggest drop since the onset of Covid-19 in March 2020.Experts attribute the sharp changes to a collection of bad economic news over the last few months, chiefly led by the rise in inflation across the United States, which has reached a 40-year record high.Last week, the Federal Reserve indicated that interest rate hikes would follow to tame inflation, thereby limiting spending and investment. Moreover, new economic data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that labor productivity fell by 7.5 percent in the first quarter of 2022, the fastest decline since 1947.On May 4, the Federal Open Market Committee voted to raise interest rates by half a percentage point, which is said to have precipitated the following day’s selling spree.“The markets still haven’t figured out what to do about the Fed,” wrote John Lynch, chief investment officer for Comerica Wealth Management, in a note to CNN.The volatility has, however, surprised even Wall Street veterans. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” claimed Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO of Quill Intelligence, a Wall Street research firm, in comments to CNN, stating that the losses were “violent not just volatile.”However, analysis by the Wall Street Journal suggests that these sales are driven by attempts to rebalance portfolios with new stocks, removing technology and other firms that have performed poorly in recent weeks.Indeed, the day’s losses were primarily driven by technology stocks, which have seen a week of significant reductions in value after poor quarterly reports.Amazon, Apple, Facebook-parent Meta, and Google-parent Alphabet all saw losses in excess of 5 percent on Thursday. Tesla, whose stock is currently being sold by Elon Musk to finance his Twitter purchase, dropped 8.3 percent. Twitter, however, increased its value by 2.7 percent to $50.37, on news that Musk had secured additional financing from investors to purchase the company.

Official says US provided location intel that Ukraine used to sink Russian warship-US source stresses that Ukraine alone decided to target and sink flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet using its own anti-ship missiles-By AAMER MADHANI, NOMAAN MERCHANT and Lolita C. Baldor-6 May 2022, 4:19 am

WASHINGTON (AP) — The US says it shared intelligence with Ukraine about the location of the Russian missile cruiser Moskva prior to the strike that sank the warship, an incident that was a high-profile failure for Russia’s military.An American official said Thursday that Ukraine alone decided to target and sink the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet using its own anti-ship missiles. But given Russia’s attacks on the Ukrainian coastline from the sea, the US has provided “a range of intelligence” that includes locations of those ships, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.The Biden administration has ramped up intelligence sharing with Ukraine alongside the shipment of arms and missiles to help it repel Russia’s invasion. The disclosure of US support in the Moskva strike comes as the White House is under pressure from Republicans to do more to support Ukraine’s resistance and as polls suggest Americans question whether President Joe Biden is being tough enough on Russia.Since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion in February, the White House has tried to balance supporting Ukraine, a democratic ally, against not doing anything that would seem to provoke a direct war between Putin and the US and NATO allies. As the war has gone on, the White House has ramped up its military and intelligence support, removing some time and geographic limits on what it will tell Ukraine about potential Russian targets.The official who spoke Thursday said the US was not aware that Ukraine planned to strike the Moskva until after they conducted the operation. NBC News first reported on the American role in the sinking of the ship.Speaking earlier Thursday after a New York Times report about the US role in supporting Ukraine’s killing of Russian generals, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said American agencies “do not provide intelligence on the location of senior military leaders on the battlefield or participate in the targeting decisions of the Ukrainian military.”“Ukraine combines information that we and other partners provide with the intel that they themselves are gathering and then they make their own decisions and they take their own actions,” Kirby said.

Urged Dem. presidential candidates to shun lobby's 2019 meet-Karine Jean-Pierre, who endorsed AIPAC boycott, to be next White House spokesperson-Succeeding Jen Psaki, Jean-Pierre will be the first Black woman and the first openly LGBTQ person to serve as press secretary-By Ron Kampeas-6 May 2022, 3:19 am

WASHINGTON (JTA) — US President Joe Biden named as his next press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, a former official of the activist MoveOn group who endorsed its call on Democratic presidential candidates to boycott the annual AIPAC conference.Jean-Pierre will be the first Black woman and the first openly LGBTQ person in the job and succeeds Jen Psaki, who has reportedly accepted an offer from MSNBC as a commentator, as the lead voice for the Biden administration with the media. She has been principal deputy press secretary after starting in the Biden administration as a senior adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris.Jean-Pierre has drawn fire from some in the pro-Israel community for a 2019 op-ed in which she endorsed pressure by MoveOn on Democratic Party presidential candidates to boycott the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.“When it comes down to it, AIPAC’s policies are not progressive policies. AIPAC’s values are not progressive values,” Pierre wrote in the 2019 piece, saying that the group’s failure to forcefully call out the Trump administration’s bigotry disqualified it as a venue for Democrats.AIPAC, historically non-partisan, has in the last decade drifted apart from progressives on Israel policy. Most recently, it launched a PAC to directly support pro-Israel candidates for the first time; the PAC has so far given to more Republicans than to Democrats and has drawn criticism for giving to Republicans who voted not to affirm Biden’s election. It also is supporting the House Democrats’ leadership and about half of the party’s progressive caucus.In April 2020, in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jean-Pierre was one of countless people to share a viral photo of Jewish and Muslim paramedic partners praying together in Israel. “Thank you both for your selflessness, and for this inspiring show of humanity,” she tweeted.“Jill and I have known and respected Karine a long time and she will be a strong voice speaking for me and this administration,” Biden said Thursday in a statement.Psaki, who leaves the White House on May 13, praised her successor as a “partner in truth,” noting the significance of the history-making appointment.“Representation matters and she is going to give a voice to so many and show so many what is truly possible when you work hard and dream big,” Psaki said.Taking the lectern briefly while Psaki briefed the press Thursday, Jean-Pierre said she was “still processing” the significance of her hire, calling it “an honor and privilege to be behind this podium.”“This is a historic moment, and it’s not lost on me,” she said. “It’s a very emotional day.”AP contributed to this report

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2  Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3  And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4  And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5  Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6  Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7  Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8  After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9  Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10  Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11  And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12  To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13  Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14  Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15  And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16  And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18  And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19  For in my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20  So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21  And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22  And I will plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS FLESH)

1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2  And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee,(300 MILIION RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS GET NUKED BY ISRAEL) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3  And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4  Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou,(RUSSIA) and all thy bands,(RUSSIA SUPPORTED WITH WEAPONS-ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5  Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6  And I will send a fire (ATOMIC BOMB) on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7  So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8  Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9  And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10  So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11  And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
12  And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13  Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14  And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15  And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16  And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17  And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18  Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19  And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20  Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21  And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22  So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23  And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24  According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26  After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27  When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28  Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29  Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

North Korea tests suspected ballistic missile designed to be launched from submarine-South Korea doesn’t say how far projectile flew; experts warn weapons demonstrations by rogue state may culminate with a nuclear test in coming weeks or months-By KIM TONG-HYUNG-MAY 7,22-Today, 11:25 am

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile designed to be launched from a submarine on Saturday, South Korea’s military said, apparently continuing a provocative streak of weapons demonstrations that may culminate with a nuclear test in the coming weeks or months.South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the launch occurred from waters near the eastern port city of Sinpo, where North Korea has a major shipyard building submarines, but it didn’t immediately say how far the missile flew. It also wasn’t clear whether the launch would have involved an actual submarine or an underwater test platform.Japan’s Defense Ministry also confirmed the launch, but it didn’t immediately release flight details. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida ordered officials to prepare for all “unforeseeable situations” and secure the safety of aircraft and ships, but there were no immediate reports of damages.The launch was apparently North Korea’s first demonstration of a submarine-fired ballistic system since October last year when it test-launched a new short-range missile from the 8.24 Yongung — its only known submarine capable of firing a missile — in what was its first underwater test launch since 2019.The launch came three days after the South Korean and Japanese militaries detected the North firing a suspected ballistic missile from near its capital, Pyongyang, on Wednesday, and three days before the inauguration of South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk Yeol, who has vowed to take a tougher approach over the North’s nuclear ambitions.The latest launch was likely North Korea’s 15th round of missile firings this year, including its first test of an intercontinental ballistic missile since 2017 in March that demonstrated the potential range to reach the entirety of the US mainland.North Korea has been clearly exploiting a favorable environment to push forward its weapons program with the UN Security Council divided and effectively paralyzed over Russia’s war on Ukraine. The unusually fast pace in testing activity underscores brinkmanship aimed at forcing the United States to accept the idea of the North as a nuclear power and remove crippling sanctions, experts say.There are also signs that North Korea is restoring tunnels at a nuclear testing ground, where it had conducted its sixth and last nuclear test in September 2017, in possible preparations for another explosive test. Analysts say the North could use another nuclear test to claim it acquired an ability to build small nuclear warheads that could arm its expanding range of shorter-range weapons threatening South Korea and Japan or form a cluster of bombs on a multiwarhead ICBM.North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has punctuated his recent missile tests with statements warning that the North could proactively use its nuclear weapons if threatened or provoked, which experts say possibly portends an escalatory nuclear doctrine that would create greater concerns for South Korea and Japan.Kim made one of those statements during an April 25 parade in Pyongyang where he showcased the most notable weapons in his military nuclear program, including ICBMs and what appeared to be a new type of missile designed to be fired from submarines that appeared to be larger than previous models.“[North Korea’s] submarine technology probably remains short of being able to stay at sea for extended periods while avoiding detection. But the ability to launch ballistic missiles from a submarine would further complicate missions to neutralize and defend against North Korea’s nuclear forces,” said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor of international studies at Seoul’s Ewha Womans University.“The Kim regime appears to be preparing to test a miniaturized nuclear device that it can claim will arm its SLBMs [submarine-launched ballistic missiles], tactical missiles, and multiple warheads on its ICBMs,” he said.North Korea has been pushing hard to acquire the ability to fire nuclear-armed missiles from submarines, which in theory would bolster its deterrent by ensuring a survivable capability to retaliate after absorbing a nuclear attack on land.Ballistic missile submarines would also add a maritime threat to the North’s growing collection of solid-fuel weapons fired from land vehicles, which are being developed with an apparent aim to overwhelm missile defense systems in South Korea and Japan.The North in recent years has been developing and testing a family of missiles named Pukguksong, which are designed to be fired from submarines or land vehicles. Still, experts say the heavily sanctioned nation would need considerably more time, resources and major technological improvements to build at least several submarines that could travel quietly at sea and reliably execute strikes.The South Korean and Japanese militaries said the North Korean missile fired on Wednesday traveled about 500 kilometers (310 miles) at a maximum altitude of 800 kilometers (500 miles). North Korean state media has yet to comment on that test.

EU suggests IRGC terror delisting compromise in attempt to save Iran nuke talks-Bloc policy chief Borrell tells newspaper that overall US designation could be lifted, with the restrictions remaining on certain parts of the organization-By TOI staff and Agencies-MAY 7,22-Today, 2:26 pm

The European Union is making a last-ditch attempt to kickstart stalled nuclear talks between Iran and world powers, which have reached an impasse over Iran’s demand that Washington removes the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from the US terror list.Talks between Iran and world powers in Vienna to revive the 2015 nuclear deal have now stalled for over six weeks.However, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell told The Financial Times in an interview published Saturday that the bloc was hoping to find a “middle way” to end the deadlock.According to the report, Borrell suggested a scenario whereby the designation on the IRGC is generally lifted, but kept in place on some specific parts of the organization. Israeli officials have openly expressed their concern over the removal of the mostly symbolic designation.The report noted that the IRGC has a number of wings as well as widespread business interests.One option, the report suggested, was for the designation to be lifted from the IRGC, but to remain in place on the Quds Force, the overseas arm of the organization which carries out operations as well as funding terrorist groups across the Middle East — including in the Gaza Strip, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen.The Quds Force is designated by a number of countries as a terrorist organization, including the US and Israel.“At a certain moment, I will have to say, as coordinator [of the Vienna talks] I make this proposal on the table, formally… the only equilibrium point possible would be this one,” Borrell told the newspaper. “We cannot continue like this forever, because in the meantime Iran continues developing their nuclear program.”Borrell said that “the file is on the table of {US} President Biden himself, my discussions with [US Secretary of State Antony] Blinken have reached the limit.”According to The Financial Times, Borrell described efforts to find a solution as “the last bullet,” but said he would not be issuing an ultimatum to Iran on the matter.“We Europeans will be very much beneficiaries from this deal, the situation has changed now. For us it was something… ’well we don’t need it,’ now it would be very much interesting for us to have another [crude] supplier,” Borrell said. “And the Americans need a diplomatic success.”The 2015 deal gave Iran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs meant to guarantee that Tehran could not develop a nuclear weapon, something it has always denied wanting to do.The US unilaterally withdrew from the accord in 2018 under then-US president Donald Trump and reimposed biting economic sanctions, prompting Iran to begin rolling back its own commitments and advancing its nuclear development.The Vienna talks, which started a year ago, aim to return the US to the nuclear deal, including through the lifting of sanctions on Iran, and to ensure Tehran’s full compliance with its commitments. The US communicates with Iran via intermediaries at the talks.The White House said last month that Iran’s nuclear breakout time, meaning the period it would need to amass the fissile material needed to build a bomb if it chose to do so, was down to only weeks. The US continues to insist a diplomatic solution is the best path forward.Last week, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog agency confirmed Iran has set up a new centrifuge parts workshop underground at its Natanz nuclear facility for better protection.International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Rafael Grossi said the machines were moved from Karaj, near Tehran, to the new location, which he said was some three floors below ground, possibly to protect it from potential airstrikes.The workshop produces parts for centrifuges, which are machines used to enrich uranium.The nuclear deal had Iran put advanced centrifuges into storage under the watch of the IAEA, while keeping its enrichment at 3.67% purity and its stockpile at only 300 kilograms (661 pounds) of uranium.As of February 19, the IAEA says Iran’s stockpile of all enriched uranium was nearly 3,200 kilograms (7,055 pounds). Some have been enriched up to 60% purity — a short technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90%. Meanwhile, Iran has stopped the IAEA from accessing some of its surveillance camera footage.Iran has long insisted that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. However, US intelligence agencies and the IAEA believe Iran had an organized military nuclear program up until 2003, while Israel has insisted that Tehran has continued to pursue nuclear weapons since then.

Syria says airstrikes target area where Iran-backed forces known to operate-State media doesn’t attribute alleged aerial assault near Deir Ezzor to any country; no immediate reports of casualties-By TOI staff-MAY 7,22-Today, 12:05 pm

Syrian state media reported explosions on Saturday morning in the Deir Ezzor region in the east of the country.The SANA report said the blasts were caused by airstrikes and targeted an area surrounding a bridge.There were no immediate reports of casualties and the alleged strikes were not attributed to any country.As a rule, Israel’s military does not comment on specific strikes in Syria, but has acknowledged conducting hundreds of sorties against Iran-backed groups attempting to gain a foothold in the country. It says it also attacks arms shipments believed to be bound for those groups.Thousands of Iran-backed militiamen are deployed in different parts of Syria, with many of them in areas along the border with Iraq, including the region surrounding Deir Ezzor.Last month, Israel was alleged to have carried out strikes in Syria on three separate occasions, also including a daytime strike.In the most recent of the raids on April 27, four Syrian soldiers were killed and three were hurt in a strike near the capital Damascus, Syria’s state media said.Syrian state media quoted an unidentified Syrian military official as saying surface-to-surface missiles were fired from northern Israel at military positions near Damascus.The official claimed most of the Israeli missiles were shot down and that the Syrian military was looking into the “results of the aggression.”The Syrian military claims to shoot down incoming missiles after nearly every alleged Israeli strike, which Israeli military officials and civilian defense analysts largely dismiss as empty boasts.After the alleged daytime attack last month, local media reported explosions near the town of Masyaf, which is thought to be used as a base for Iranian forces and pro-Iranian militias and has been repeatedly targeted in recent years in attacks attributed to Israel.The Israeli strikes have continued in Syrian airspace, which is largely controlled by Russia, even since Moscow began its invasion of Ukraine.Israel has found itself at odds with Russia as it has increasingly supported Ukraine, while seeking to maintain freedom of movement in Syria’s skies.Emanuel Fabian contributed to this report.

IDF demolishes home of Homesh terror suspect; troops clash with Palestinians-Forces carry out overnight operation in Silat al-Harithiya, village of alleged killers of Yehuda Dimentman in 2021; 3 Palestinians wounded in clashes-By TOI staff-MAY 7,22-Today, 8:06 amUpdated at 9:30 am

Israeli forces demolished the home of a suspected terrorist overnight in the northern West Bank, clashing with Palestinian rioters on the scene, the military said Saturday morning.The Israel Defense Forces destroyed the floor where the home of Omar Ahmed Yassin Jaradat was located in a building in the village of Silat al-Harithiya.The operation was initially reported by Palestinian media outlets, and later confirmed by the military.Jaradat’s home on one floor of a building was destroyed, but the external structure was left standing. The demolition took place after legal appeals by Jaradat’s family were rejected.The IDF said that during the operation, “riots developed in various hotspots, during which suspects threw stones and threw Molotov cocktails at forces.” The military said troops also heard gunfire.According to the IDF, soldiers responded with low-caliber Ruger rounds, which are considered less lethal than the larger caliber rounds typically used by the IDF. Human rights groups have condemned the use of Ruger fire for riot control, as the weapon can still kill.The Red Crescent said that three Palestinians were wounded during clashes with Israeli forces during the demolition. There were no further details given on their conditions.Jaradat is accused of being part of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad cell that shot and killed Yehuda Dimentman near the Homesh outpost in December. Two other Israelis were lightly wounded in the shooting. Jaradat was arrested days after the killing.Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks as a matter of policy. The efficacy of the policy is controversial even within the Israeli security services and human rights activists have denounced it as unfair collective punishment.In March, Israeli forces demolished the homes of two other suspects in the attack — Muhammad Youssef Jaradat and Ghaith Ahmed Yassin Jaradat, also from Silat al-Harithiya.The Israel Defense Forces said the military razed the former’s house and destroyed a floor of the home in which the latter lived.According to the military, dozens of Palestinians also rioted during the March demolitions and threw rocks, firebombs and improvised explosive devices at the soldiers, who responded with riot dispersal means and live fire.The IDF demolished the home of a fourth suspect in February, during which Palestinians said a teenager was killed in a firefight with Israeli troops.Silat al-Harithiya is located near the West Bank city of Jenin — an area from where the suspected terrorists in a number of recent attacks have hailed, including Thursday’s assault in Elad in which three men were killed.In addition to those suspects, the perpetrators of the recent deadly attacks in Bnei Brak and Tel Aviv also hailed from Jenin and its environs.A number of suspects have been charged over the December shooting attack in which Dimentman was killed and two others lightly wounded.The three were fired on as they left a yeshiva at the illegal Homesh outpost where they studied. Homesh was evacuated in 2005 following Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza and some West Bank settlements.While Israeli law bans resettling at Homesh, the army has tolerated the presence of the yeshiva for over a decade and a half. The area has also been the site of repeated clashes between the outpost’s hard-right Jewish settlers and local Palestinians.Since the attack, settlers have sought to pressure the government to legalize the yeshiva.Last month, several thousand right-wing Israelis marched to the dismantled Homesh settlement. Several opposition politicians participated, as well as former coalition whip Idit Silman, despite the fact that the march amounted to a violation of military law, which bars Israelis from returning to the grounds of the four settlements the government vacated in 2005. The march sparked clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinians protesting the rally.Alexander Fulbright and Emanuel Fabian contributed to this report.

Jordan warns against eviction of Palestinians in South Hebron Hills area-Residents vow to stay despite court decision that they can be evicted after 20-year legal battle; ruling said they’re not permanent residents of land IDF wants for training ground-By TOI staff and AP-MAY 7,22-Today, 6:04 am

Jordan on Friday issued a warning against a planned eviction of 1,300 Palestinians living in eight villages in the South Hebron Hills, as well as plans to approve the construction of nearly 4,000 settlement homes in other areas of the West Bank.Jordanian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Haitham Abu Alfoul, said “the settlement expansion is a flagrant breach of international law and resolutions,” according to the official Petra news agency.“Abu Alfoul stressed that the Israeli settlement policy whether in establishing or expanding settlements, seizing lands or forcibly displacing Palestinians, is an illegal policy which is rejected and condemned,” the statement reads.The condemnation came as residents of the communities vowed to stay despite Israel’s High Court ruling late Wednesday night that the Israeli army could evict the residents of eight villages in the South Hebron Hills, after a legal battle lasting decades.The lives of thousands of Palestinians in a cluster of Bedouin communities in the southern West Bank have been on hold for more than four decades, ever since the land they cultivated and lived on was declared a military firing and training zone by Israel.Since that decision in early 1981, residents of the Masafer Yatta region have weathered demolitions, property seizures, restrictions, disruptions of food and water supplies as well as the lingering threat of expulsion.That threat grew significantly this week after Israel’s Supreme Court upheld a long-standing expulsion order against eight of the 12 Palestinian hamlets forming Masafer Yatta — potentially leaving at least 1,000 people homeless.On Friday, some residents said they are determined to stay on the land.The verdict came after a more than two-decade-long legal struggle by Palestinians to remain in their homes. Israel has argued that the residents only use the area for seasonal agriculture and that they had already rejected offers of compromise that would have given them occasional access to the land.The Palestinians say that if implemented, the ruling opens the way for the eviction of all the 12 communities that have a population of 4,000 people, mostly Bedouins who rely on animal herding and a traditional form of desert agriculture.The residents of Jinba, one the hamlets, said Friday that they have opposed any compromise because they have lived in the area long before Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Middle East war.Issa Abu Aram was born in a cave in the rugged mountainous terrain 48 years ago and has endured a tough life since building is banned here.In the winter, he and his family members live in a cave. In the summer, they stay in caravans near the cave. His goats are a source of income, and on Friday, he had laid out dozens of balls of hardened goat milk yogurt on the ground to dry.He said his 14 children grew up with the threat of expulsion hanging over them. His children are attending a makeshift school in Jinba, with the oldest son now in 12th grade.“He did not live in any other place except Jinba, how are you going to convince him … to live somewhere else,” he said.The Palestinian leadership on Friday condemned the Supreme Court ruling, which was handed down on Wednesday — when most of Israel was shut down for the country’s Independence Day.Nabil Abu Rdeneh, a spokesman for PA President Mahmoud Abbas, said the removal order “amounts to forced displacement and ethnic cleansing, in violation of international law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions.”The West Bank has been under Israeli military rule for nearly 55 years. Masafer Yatta is in the 60% of the territory where the Palestinian Authority is prohibited from operating. The Palestinians want the West Bank to form the main part of their future state.Jewish settlers have established outposts in the area that are not officially authorized by Israel but are protected by the military. Last fall, dozens of settlers attacked a village in the area, and a 4-year-old boy was hospitalized after being struck in the head with a stone.For now, the families say they have only one choice left: to stay and stick to their land.“I don’t have an alternative and they cannot remove me,” said farmer Khalid al-Jabarin, standing outside a goat shed. “The entire government of Israel can’t remove me. We will not leave … we will not get out of here because we are the inhabitants of the land.”

Dozens more Ukrainian civilians rescued from besieged Mariupol steel plant-Russian and Ukrainian officials say evacuations to continue Sunday; Putin believed trying to complete conquest of strategic city ahead of May 9 World War II victory celebrations-By Elena Becatoros and Jon Gambrell-MAY 7,22-Today, 2:34 am

ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) — Dozens more civilians were rescued Friday from the tunnels under the besieged steel plant where Ukrainian fighters in Mariupol have been making their last stand to prevent Moscow’s complete takeover of the strategically important port city.Russian and Ukrainian officials said 50 people were evacuated from the Azovstal steel plant and handed over to representatives of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross. The Russian military said the group included 11 children.Russian officials and Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said evacuation efforts would continue Saturday. The latest evacuees were in addition to roughly 500 other civilians who got out of the plant and city in recent days.The fight for the last Ukrainian stronghold in a city reduced to ruins by the Russian onslaught appeared increasingly desperate amid growing speculation that President Vladimir Putin wants to finish the battle for Mariupol so he can present a triumph to the Russian people in time for Monday’s Victory Day, the biggest patriotic holiday on the Russian calendar.As the holiday commemorating the Soviet Union’s World War II victory over Nazi Germany approached, cities across Ukraine prepared for an expected increase in Russian attacks and officials urged residents to heed air raid warnings.“These symbolic dates are to the Russian aggressor like red to a bull,” said Ukraine’s first deputy interior minister, Yevhen Yenin. “While the entire civilized world remembers the victims of terrible wars on these days, the Russian Federation wants parades and is preparing to dance over bones in Mariupol.”Roughly 2,000 Ukrainian fighters, by Russia’s most recent estimate, are holed up in the vast maze of tunnels and bunkers beneath the Azovstal steelworks, and they have repeatedly refused to surrender. Ukrainian officials said before Friday’s evacuations that a few hundred civilians were also trapped there, and fears for their safety have increased as the battle has grown fiercer in recent days.Kateryna Prokopenko, whose husband, Denys Prokopenko, commands the Azov Regiment troops inside the plant, issued a desperate plea to also spare the fighters. She said they would be willing to go to a third country to wait out the war but would never surrender to Russia because that would mean “filtration camps, prison, torture and death.”If nothing is done to save her husband and his men, they will “stand to the end without surrender,” she told The Associated Press on Friday.UN officials have been tight-lipped about the evacuation efforts, but it seemed likely that the latest evacuees would be taken to Zaporizhzhia, a Ukrainian-controlled city about 140 miles (230 kilometers) northwest of Mariupol where others who escaped the port city were brought.Some of the plant’s previous evacuees spoke to the AP about the horrors of being surrounded by death in the moldy, underground bunker with little food and water, poor medical care and diminishing hope. Some said they felt guilty for leaving others behind.“People literally rot like our jackets did,” said 31-year-old Serhii Kuzmenko, who fled with his wife, 8-year-old daughter and four others from their bunker, where 30 others were left behind. “They need our help badly. We need to get them out.”Fighters defending the plant said Friday on Telegram that Russian troops had fired on an evacuation vehicle on the plant’s grounds. They said the car was moving toward civilians when it was hit by shelling, and that one soldier was killed and six were wounded.Moscow did not immediately acknowledge renewed fighting there Friday.Russia took control of Mariupol, aside from the steel plant, after bombarding it for two months. Ahead of Victory Day, municipal workers and volunteers cleaned up what remains of the city, which had a prewar population of more than 400,000. Perhaps 100,000 civilians remain with little food, water, electricity or heat. Bulldozers scooped up debris and people swept streets against a backdrop of hollowed-out buildings as workers repaired a model of a warship and Russian flags were hoisted.The fall of Mariupol would deprive Ukraine of a vital port. It would also allow Russia to establish a land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized from Ukraine in 2014, freeing some of its troops to fight elsewhere in the Donbas, the eastern industrial region that the Kremlin says is now its chief objective. Its capture also holds symbolic value since the city has been the scene of some of the worst suffering of the war and a surprisingly fierce resistance.Asked whether Russia would soon take full control of Mariupol, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: “Mariupol will never fall. I’m not talking about heroism or anything.”“It is already devastated,” he told a meeting at London’s Chatham House think tank. He also said he remains open to negotiations with Russia, but repeated that Moscow must withdraw its forces.“We do not see the end of the war yet,” he said, calling on Russia to allow safe passage out of the steel mill to the Ukrainian troops.While they pounded away at the plant, Russian forces struggled to make significant gains elsewhere, 10 weeks into a devastating war that has killed thousands of people, forced millions to flee the country and flattened large swaths of cities.Ukrainian officials said the risk of massive shelling increased ahead of Victory Day. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said authorities would reinforce street patrols in the capital. A curfew was going into effect in Ukraine’s southern Odesa region, which was the target of two missile attacks Friday.The Ukrainian military’s general staff said Friday that its forces repelled 11 attacks in the Donbas region and destroyed tanks and armored vehicles, further frustrating Putin’s ambitions after his abortive attempt to seize Kyiv. Russia made no acknowledgment of the losses.The British Defense Ministry said Russia might be struggling to execute its plan in the Donbas partly because it’s bogged down at the Mariupol plant, where the fighting “has come at personnel, equipment and munitions cost to Russia.”The Ukrainian army also said it made progress in the northeastern Kharkiv region, recapturing five villages and part of a sixth. Meanwhile, one person was reported dead and three more were injured Friday as a result of Russian shelling in Lyman, a city in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region,In other developments:— A Ukrainian army brigade said it used an American Switchblade “suicide” drone against Russian forces in what was likely Ukraine’s first recorded use of such weapon in combat. — The Ukrainian governor of the eastern Luhansk region said residents of the city of Kreminna were being terrorized by Russian troops trying to cross the Seversky Donets River. Serhiy Haidai accused Russian troops of checking phones and “forcibly disappearing Ukrainian patriots.” His statements could not be immediately verified. — Haidia also said more than 15,000 people remain in Severodonetsk, a city in the Luhansk region that’s seen as a key Russian target. He said he believes most residents wish to remain even though “entire blocks of houses are on fire.”— The small village of Nekhoteevk, in Russia’s southern Belgorod region bordering Ukraine, was being evacuated Friday due to shelling from Ukrainian territory, according to the regional governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov. His claims couldn’t be immediately verified. — Russian state agencies reported that two self-proclaimed separatist republics in Ukraine’s industrial east — the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic — appointed extraordinary ambassadors to Moscow. A Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesman, Oleg Nykolenko, said the ambassadors were “traitors” and will likely be charged with high treason.
