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.

Saudi Arabia ends petrodollar agreement: What it means for the USD, Bitcoin, and gold-Kitco Media-By Jordan Finneseth-Published:Jun 13, 2024 - 10:23 AM

.(Kitco News) – The established financial world order of the past 50 years is now transitioning to a new and unknown paradigm as the petrodollar agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia was allowed to expire this past Sunday. The term ‘petrodollar’ described the U.S. dollar’s (USD) role as the currency used for crude oil transactions on the world market. It traces back to the early 1970s when the United States and Saudi Arabia struck a deal shortly after the U.S. went off the gold standard – and the agreement has had far-reaching consequences for the global economy.The petrodollar agreement came about following the 1973 oil crisis. It stipulated that Saudi Arabia would price its oil exports exclusively in U.S. dollars and invest its surplus oil revenues in U.S. Treasury bonds. In exchange, the U.S. provided military support and protection to the kingdom. This helped the USD cement its position as the world’s reserve currency and ushered in an era of prosperity for Americans as they enjoyed the benefits of being the preferred market for global corporations to sell their wares. Additionally, the inflow of foreign capital into U.S. Treasury bonds has supported low interest rates and a robust bond market.All that is set to change now as Saudi Arabia is looking to move beyond an exclusive relationship with the U.S. – as evidenced by the kingdom becoming one of the newest members of the BRICS bloc. While many point to escalating global tensions and shifting geopolitical allegiances as the impetus for allowing the agreement to expire, changes in the power dynamics of the global oil market have also played a crucial role in this development as the world moves towards alternative energy sources. The rise of renewables and natural gas has been steadily reducing the world’s reliance on oil for the past decade, and even oil-rich countries like Saudi Arabia have evolved. The Kingdom is on track to generate half its electricity with renewables and natural gas by 2030 and plans to plant 10 billion trees as part of a larger goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2060. To achieve this, they have implemented more than 80 public and private sector initiatives representing an investment of over $188 billion. Their decision to go in that direction has also been influenced by the emergence of new oil-producing nations, such as Brazil and Canada, which have challenged the traditional dominance of the Middle East.While many analysts have said that the threat to the USD’s status as the reserve currency is overblown, most acknowledge that the expiration of the petrodollar agreement has the long-term potential to weaken the USD and, by extension, U.S. financial markets. At present, the Kingdom is still accepting U.S. dollars in exchange for oil, but some of the world’s largest economies are attempting to change that, notably China. For years, China has been actively trying to get Saudi Arabia to accept the yuan for oil purchases, and while the Kingdom has thus far refrained from making the switch, they have expressed openness to the idea. According to digital news service Sputnik, “Nearly 80 percent of global oil sales are priced in dollars. However, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, and others are increasingly shifting to local currencies in energy trade. In 2023, 20 percent of global oil was bought in other currencies, as per the Wall Street Journal.”The Kingdom’s acceptance into the BRICS bloc has the potential to influence this decision. If Saudi Arabia moves to expand beyond the USD, it would materially weaken the currency’s dominance in the oil market – and as a result, its place on the world stage. A decline in global demand for the greenback could result in higher inflation, higher interest rates, and a weaker bond market in the United States.Sputnik said, “If world players significantly reduce the use of US dollars, the US' ability to issue dollar debt and earn dollars for exports will diminish and the nation's economy will shrink, according to international economists.” The primary reasons for not making the switch at this point are the stability and the global acceptance of the U.S. dollar. While the USD-for-oil status quo remains in effect for the time being, the expiration of the petrodollar agreement represents a significant shift in global power dynamics and highlights the changing energy landscape and the growing influence of emerging economies.Evidence that the U.S. understands the importance of maintaining a strong relationship with Saudi Arabia can be found in reports that the Biden administration is close to finalizing a treaty with the Kingdom that would commit the U.S. to help defend them as part of a deal aimed at encouraging diplomatic ties between Saudi Arabia and Israel. As reported by Reuters, “The possible deal, widely telegraphed by U.S. and other officials for weeks, is part of a wider package that would include a U.S.-Saudi civil nuclear pact, steps toward the establishment of a Palestinian state and an end to the war in Gaza, where months of ceasefire efforts have failed to bring peace.”The treaty, known as the Strategic Alliance Agreement, would require a two-thirds majority vote in the U.S. Senate to be approved. According to U.S. and Saudi officials, the draft treaty is modeled loosely on Washington's mutual security pact with Japan.In exchange for the U.S. commitment to defend Saudi Arabia in an attack, the draft treaty would grant Washington access to Saudi territory and airspace to protect U.S. interests and regional partners, according to the Wall Street Journal. Effect on USD, Bitcoin and gold“The end of the US-Saudi petrodollar agreement would likely have a minimal effect on the USD,” said Daniel Krupka, Head of Research at Coin Bureau, in a note to Kitco Crypto. “This is because Saudi Arabia would likely convert the non-USD currencies it's receiving for oil payments into the USD anyways.”“Although a BRICS currency may have some level of adoption, it would not be able to achieve the level of adoption similar to that of the USD, gold, or Bitcoin without being backed by a stable economy,” he added. “Neither party benefits from the end of the agreement in the short term as it effectively just complicates things. In the long term, it could make Saudi Arabia less reliant on the USD depending on what the country does with its non-USD proceeds.”Touching on the draft defense treaty, Krupka said it “may maintain the bilateral relationship at the strategic level, but it does not directly replace the economic aspect of the petrodollar deal.”He also noted that the “Saudi Riyal is pegged to the USD,” which means that “Saudi Arabia needs USD to support its currency.”“However, the end of the agreement could be bad for the USD insofar as Saudi Arabia decides to convert these non-USD currency proceeds into other assets, such as gold or BTC,” Krupka suggested. “More diversification of Saudi assets into gold or Bitcoin could help push up prices, although this is contingent on the extent of diversification.”"The symbolism of the end of the US-Saudi petrodollar agreement marks a shift toward a future that is further economically and geopolitically fragmented,” said Brian Mahoney, co-founder of Acre, in a note shared with Kitco Crypto. “It means that the world’s currency for top energy assets like oil is no longer priced just in dollars, opening the door to alternative assets instead.”“Bitcoin would make sense as an asset to be explored for adoption going forward given its ties to energy companies (through its proof of work consensus mechanism) and the fact that it is the top digitally native asset by market cap in an increasingly digital global economy,” he added.While the details on the future of a BRICS currency are scant, Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday, “Within BRICS, we’re working on shaping an independent payment system, free from political pressure, abuse and external sanctional interference.”Some have suggested that a BRICS currency could be backed by a basket of commodities, of which gold would be a part – which would likely benefit gold prices. Most analysts hold the position that it will be years before the USD loses its reserve currency status, but X user Bullion Buzz highlighted the ongoing ramp-up in the transition away from Western currencies amid the rise in geopolitical tensions.

Why central banks are increasing their gold reserves: 29% plan to buy more in 2024 - World Gold Council report-Kitco Media-By Neils Christensen-Published: Jun 18, 2024 - 3:01 AM

(Kitco News) - Central bank gold purchases continue to dominate and transform the gold market, and this trend is only getting stronger, according to the latest report from the World Gold Council.On Tuesday, the WGC published the results of its annual Central Bank Gold Reserves survey. Of the 70 responses, 29% said they expect to increase their gold reserves in the next 12 months.The WGC said this was the highest level it has seen since it started the annual survey in 2018.“The planned purchases are chiefly motivated by a desire to rebalance to a more preferred strategic level of gold holdings, domestic gold production, and financial market concerns, including higher crisis risks and rising inflation,” the analysts said in the report.The survey results come nearly two weeks after data from the People’s Bank of China showed that it didn’t increase its gold reserves in May, ending an 18-month buying spree. However, analysts have said that even if China slows its purchases, there is still robust interest in gold as a reserve diversified.“While China has positively contributed to the level of annual demand from the official sector, we are still confident that central banks as a whole will remain net buyers. Buying has been broad-based, with several other central banks continuing to accumulate gold, even as the gold price has increased in recent months. As such, while central bank demand for 2024 may not reach the levels seen in 2022 or 2023, we still believe that it will remain healthy for the remainder of the year,” Krishan Gopaul, Senior Analyst at the World Gold Council, said in a recent comment to Kitco News before the survey data was released.While nearly one-third of central banks surveyed look to buy gold this year, there is a broad-based expectation throughout the official sector that gold reserves will rise. The survey said that 81% of participants expect holdings to rise in the next 12 months, up sharply from 71% reported last year.According to the survey, the growing diversification into gold comes as central banks see an increasing shift in global financial markets as the U.S. role as the world’s reserve currency continues to diminish.Looking at the U.S. dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency, 62% of respondents said they think the dollar’s share will diminish five years from now, up from 55% in 2023 and 42% in 2022.Meanwhile, regarding gold, 69% of respondents thought the yellow metal would constitute a larger proportion five years from now, up from 62% in 2023 and 46% in 2022.The World Gold Council noted that sentiment is significantly different when broken down between central banks in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDE) and those in developed nations. EMDE central banks generally see gold’s role as a monetary metal increasing as the U.S. dollar’s shine tarnishes.However, while advanced economy central banks remain loyal to the greenback, they admit that gold’s role in the global landscape is changing.“EMDE central banks, which have been the primary driver of gold buying since the 2008 global financial crisis, appear to be more pessimistic about the US dollar’s future share of global reserves and more optimistic about that of gold,” the analysts said in the report. “Nonetheless, it is notable too that the percentage of advanced economy respondents who believe that gold’s share of global reserves will rise has increased significantly from 38% in 2023 to 57% in 2024.”As central banks look to diversify away from the U.S. dollar, the participants said that “interest rate levels,” “inflation concerns,” and “geopolitical instability” continue to be the leading factors in central bankers’ reserve management decisions, relatively in line with the responses last year.According to the survey, central banks are motivated to hold gold because it is seen as a “long-term store of value/inflation hedge,” its “performance during times of crisis,” an “effective portfolio diversifier,” and there is “no default risk.”“These results seem to reflect an underlying theme of EMDE central banks, but also increasingly advanced economy central banks, valuing gold’s strategic role amidst uncertain geopolitical times and renewed concerns about financial stability. This underscores the challenging economic and strategic circumstances faced by both groups,” the analysts said.

Tropical Storm Alberto brings heavy rain, flooding to Texas ahead of Mexico landfall-Bill Kearney, Angie DiMichele, South Florida Sun-Sentinel-Thu, June 20, 2024 at 6:17 AM EDT·3 min read

Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the 2024 hurricane season, is expected to make landfall early Thursday south of the U.S. border with Mexico.As of 5 a.m. Thursday, the storm was 250 miles south of Brownsville, Texas, traveling west at 13 mph, with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph.Separate from Alberto, forecasters also are watching two other potential systems, one in the Gulf, and one east of the Bahamas. The latter could affect coastal northern Florida on Friday.Once inland, Alberto is forecast to weaken quickly and likely dissipate over Mexico by Thursday or Thursday night, the National Hurricane Center said.Alberto is a large, slow-moving tropical storm, with tropical-storm-force winds extending outward up to 275 miles north of the center.The National Hurricane Center has issued a tropical storm warning for the northeastern coast of Mexico south of the mouth of the Rio Grande to Tecolutla.The storm was causing coastal flooding near Galveston, Texas, 500 miles away from its likely landfall in Mexico. Storm surge there is expected to reach 2 to 4 feet, depending on tide. There was even some street flooding in Louisiana.A few tornadoes are also possible Thursday night in lower South Texas and southeast areas of the state, the NHC said.Forecasters urged people to not focus solely on the storm’s forecast track.“The disturbance is very large with rainfall, coastal flooding, and wind impacts likely to occur far from the center along the coasts of Texas and northeastern Mexico,” the hurricane center said.Inland in Mexico and South Texas, rainfall could be significant and potentially dangerous, given the mountainous terrain in some of the region.Rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches across northeast Mexico into South Texas are possible, with maximum totals of 20 inches in areas of Mexico with higher terrain, the NHC said Wednesday night. Flash flooding and mudslides are potential hazards.Additional systems-A disturbance in the same area of the Gulf of Mexico as Alberto could become a tropical depression this weekend. As of 2 a.m. Thursday, it has a 50% chance of developing in the next seven days and a 10% chance it the next two days.Meanwhile, forecasters are watching an area of storminess several hundred miles east of the northern Bahamas that could approach northeastern Florida or southern Georgia early Friday.As of 2 a.m. Thursday, it has a 30% chance of development over the next two days, with some slow development possible thereafter while the system moves west-northwest..The system is likely too far north to impact South Florida.The 2024 hurricane season, which officially began June 1, is expected to be extremely active.In its annual May outlook, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that the 2024 hurricane season has an 85% chance of being above normal, with 17 to 25 named storms with minimum sustained winds of 39 mph, and eight to 13 hurricanes. An average year has 14 named storms and seven hurricanes.In addition, NOAA has forecast four to seven major hurricanes for 2024, meaning those that are Category 3 or above.Experts at Colorado State University stated in their 2024 forecast that the U.S. East Coast, including Florida, had a 34% chance of a major hurricane making landfall this year. The average from 1880-2020 was 21%.Forecasters say that the record-warm water temperatures that now cover much of the Atlantic Ocean will continue into peak hurricane season from August to October. That warm water fuels hurricanes. By early June, the tropical Atlantic was already as hot as it usually is in mid-August — peak hurricane season.Hurricane season officially ends Nov. 30.Sun Sentinel staff writer Robin Webb contributed to this report.

Hundreds of Hajj pilgrims die as Mecca temperatures hit 120 Fahrenheit-Caroline Faraj Hande Atay Alam-By Lauren Kent, Caroline Faraj and Hande Atay Alam, CNN-Updated 12:45 AM EDT, Thu June 20, 2024

Dubai, United Arab Emirates CNN  — Hundreds of people have died and thousands have been treated for heatstroke while performing the annual Muslim Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca amid extreme temperatures of up to 49 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit).Some 165 Indonesians are among the dead, CNN Indonesia reported, citing the country’s Consulate General’s Hajj Management Office in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, at least 41 Jordanians, 35 Tunisians and 11 Iranians have died, according to authorities in each country.A further 22 Jordanians are missing and 26 Iranians have been hospitalized, the Iranian Red Crescent said Wednesday, according to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.Some of the Iranians died due to heatstroke while others had underlying conditions, the Iranian Red Crescent said.The death toll is likely to rise, as Saudi Arabia and Egypt have yet to release official figures. Additionally, the governments are only aware of pilgrims who have registered and traveled to Mecca as part of their country’s quota – more deaths are feared among unregistered pilgrims.The Saudi government said on Monday that more than 2,700 people had been treated for heatstroke. Meanwhile, hundreds of people have taken to social media to post about their loved ones being unaccounted for.More than 1.8 million people are taking part in this year’s Hajj, one of the world’s largest religious gatherings, according to the Saudi General Authority for Statistics.While deaths among pilgrims are not uncommon (there were more than 200 last year), this year’s gathering is being held amid particularly high temperatures.Hajj season changes every year according to the Islamic calendar and this year it fell in June, one of the hottest months in the kingdom.On Monday, Saudi Arabia advised pilgrims against performing the “stoning of the devil” ritual between certain hours after temperatures reached an extreme 49 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit).Hajj officials have asked pilgrims to carry umbrellas and stay hydrated amid the harsh conditions while the Saudi army has deployed more than 1,600 personnel with medical units specifically for heatstroke and 30 rapid response teams. Another 5,000 health and first aid volunteers are taking part.Performing Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam, which requires every Muslim who is physically and financially able to make the journey to the holy city of Mecca at least once in his or her life.The pilgrimage includes numerous detailed rituals including wearing a special garment that symbolizes human equality and unity before God, a circular, counter-clockwise procession around the cube-shaped Kaaba building, and the symbolic stoning of evil.This story has been updated with additional information.

With millions under heat warnings from Ontario eastward, new research is shedding light on the health risks from exposure to unusually warm temperatures — particularly in cities with more renters.The study, released Wednesday by Statistics Canada, found a higher than average risk of death, particularly among those 65 and over, during stretches of extreme heat in many of Canada's largest cities over the past two decades."The risk of dying tends to increase during days defined as extreme heat events compared to days that are not extreme heat events," said Matthew Quick, the author of the study and a research analyst at Statistics Canada.Between 2000 and 2020, roughly 670 more deaths than usual were recorded in the country's 12 largest cities during periods of extreme heat that lasted two days or longer.The criteria for what is defined as a period of extreme heat varies by region and is defined by Environment and Climate Change Canada.Cities where extreme heat events are less common saw a greater spike in deaths when the temperature shot up."That might point to acclimatization, so your body's ability to deal with heat might also point to the degree to which adaptation measures are in place," Quick said.The research also found higher mortality rates during heat waves in cities where there are more renters. He said this may be because renters are less likely to have air conditioning than homeowners, as he showed in a previous study.Wednesday's study adds to a growing body of research showing the effects of extreme heat on vulnerable populations.Longer heat waves carry greater health risk-A report on the week-long heat dome in British Columbia in 2021 found that most people who died were elderly, had a disability, lived in poorer neighbourhoods or lived alone. During that week, which fell outside the time period for the Statistics Canada study, more than 600 deaths were identified as being heat-related.Dr. Matthew Bennett, a cardiologist in Vancouver, said he felt the strain on the health system during that exceptionally hot period. Research suggests that longer heat waves, such as the one in B.C., carry greater health risk."The ambulance attendants saw it first, then the emergency rooms saw it," he said. It's always difficult to ascertain a specific cause of death, but there is really good evidence of why people die or how they could die because of cardiovascular causes."Bennett suggested everyone should have a plan for how to stay cool during periods of prolonged heat, either at home or at another location with air conditioning. "Everybody who is not at risk should also think of the family members who could be at risk, friends who can be at risk, and check in on them," he said. Millions of Canadians from Northern Ontario to Newfoundland are dealing with heat and humidity that puts vulnerable people at risk. The 'heat dome' high-pressure system that traps hot air near the ground isn't expected to subside for days.The results come amid heat warnings affecting millions in parts of Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada, and large swaths of the United States.Research shows heat waves are becoming increasingly extreme as the climate warms. A report last month by Climate Central, along with World Weather Attribution and the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, examined 76 extreme heat waves across 90 countries over a 12-month period starting in May 2023.The report says that in that period, 6.3 billion people — roughly 78 per cent of the population — experienced at least 31 days of extreme heat that were "made at least two times more likely due to human-caused climate change."Environment and Climate Change Canada is forecasting higher-than-normal temperatures throughout most of Canada this summer, after the hottest year on record.

Intense Wildfires Burn Across California and New Mexico-Dave Mistich, NPR-Jun 19

Updated 6:15 p.m. Wednesday-A number of wildfires in New Mexico and California have spawned evacuations, with intense blazes developing quickly and making damage assessments difficult for local officials.The South Fork Fire, which was first reported Monday morning in southern New Mexico’s Village of Ruidoso, has now burned more than 15,000 acres and is 0% contained, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has declared a state of emergency, ordering evacuations for Ruidoso and nearby tribal lands. The emergency declaration will help the state allocate resources from the National Guard.Grisham commended first responders and residents who have helped others who were forced to evacuate.“The number of New Mexicans who, on their own, are helping and are offering up their own homes for shelter shows me, once again, the generosity and compassion of the people in this state,” the governor said.The blaze has damaged or destroyed more than 500 structures, though Grisham said the intensity of the fire makes it such that a flyover will be necessary to map a more accurate damage assessment.“It will really allow us to see inside the fire in a way that we cannot do now because it is too dangerous to be in the heart of the fire,” she said.Residents of Ruidoso said what should have been a 15-minute drive out of town became a horrifying hours-long endeavor. The Associated Press reported that real estate agent Christie Hood said the evacuation order came so quickly that she and her husband had little time to gather up their children and dogs.“It looked like the sky was on fire. It was bright orange,” Hood said. “Honestly, it looked like the apocalypse. It was terrifying and sparks were falling on us.”A second wildfire is burning in southern New Mexico about five miles southeast of the South Fork Fire. The Salt Fire has burned about 7,000 acres and was 1% contained as of Wednesday afternoon, according to the wildfire tracking app Watch Duty.Northern California battles back its own set of new fires-After California fire crews began battling wildfires over the weekend, new blazes have also broke out in the northern part of the state this week.The Aero Fire, located in the small Calaveras County community of Copperopolis southwest of Sacramento, broke out Monday. The blaze has burned more than 5,000 acres and has forced evacuations, with CalFire officials reporting three structures destroyed and one damaged. Local officials have set up three evacuation centers, but the number of evacuees remains unknown. With winds decreasing and relative humidity increasing, firefighters have been able to get the Aero Fire 45% contained.Another wildfire, the Sites Fire, also erupted Monday in Colusa County, just over 100 miles to the north of San Francisco. CalFire reports that the blaze, which has torched more than 15,000 acres, is 10% contained.But crews have reason to remain optimistic about conditions in California’s Central Valley. The National Weather Service says red flag warnings for fire conditions were set to expire by midday Wednesday.Firefighters have also been making progress on containing the more than 15,000 acre Post Fire, which began Saturday in Los Angeles and Ventura County. State fire officials say that the wildfire is 43% contained. And Sonoma County’s Point Fire, which has burned more than 1,200 acres since breaking out Sunday, is 60% contained.

Residents ordered to flee central Labrador town as wildfire rages nearby-St. john's, n.l.The Canadian Press-Published Yesterday

An out-of-control wildfire forced officials to order residents to flee their homes in the central Labrador community of Churchill Falls on Wednesday evening.Local officials issued an alert asking everyone in the town to be out by 8:15 p.m. local time, “due to changing conditions of the fire around the community.”The notice asked residents to head east to Happy Valley-Goose Bay, which is a three-hour drive along a remote, two-lane highway.“I am in touch with officials and we will be there to help in any way we can,” Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey said in a social media post sharing the alert. “Please be safe and check on friends and neighbours at this time.”Churchill Falls is home to about 700 people, and the town sits along the Trans-Labrador Highway, which cuts across Labrador’s vast, wooded interior. The Churchill Falls generating station is about four kilometres east of the town’s centre, and it supplies power to Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador.The eastern Canadian province’s online wildfire dashboard showed two fires burning near the community on Wednesday night. The closest was about 15 kilometres southwest of the town, encompassing an area of about seven square kilometres.Officials advised anyone in Churchill Falls needing a ride to Happy Valley-Goose Bay to head to the town centre or the bus area at the generating station’s staff housing facilities. Those arriving in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, which is Labrador’s largest community, were advised to check in at the YMCA.There were seven wildfires burning in Labrador on Wednesday, four of which were out of control. Three fires listed as “being held,” which means they were no longer spreading, were in the western part of the region. The four fires still spreading – including the blaze that forced the evacuation of Churchill Falls – were in central Labrador.Five helicopters, four waterbombers and 38 ground crew members were all working to douse the flames, Newfoundland and Labrador forest fire duty officer Bryan Oke said earlier on Wednesday.Oke said he and his crews were keeping a close eye on conditions near Churchill Falls. Temperatures there hit 32 C earlier in the day, and he said winds were stronger than anticipated. As of about 3 p.m. on Wednesday, officials said the fire risk in the area was “extreme.”Forest fires are not uncommon in Labrador, especially at the beginning of the summer when thunder and lightning storms are common as temperatures rise, Oke said.

UN said to warn Israel humanitarian operations in Gaza may be halted-Humanitarian coordinator reportedly tells FM that Israel may be left to deal with humanitarian crisis alone due to chaos in Strip; Katz rejects request to allow in dual-use items-By Lazar Berman-Today, 11:54 am-JUN 20,24

Foreign Minister Israel Katz held a tense meeting with UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza Sigrid Kaag, Katz’s office told The Times of Israel Wednesday.According to Channel 12, the UN official warned Katz that Israel may soon be left to deal with Gaza’s humanitarian crisis alone.Kaag told Katz that chaos and crime are spreading in Gaza, and if the situation doesn’t change, soon the UN won’t be able to continue operating in the Strip, the report said.The Foreign Ministry pointed to the fact that over 1,000 truckloads of aid are waiting to be distributed on the Gazan side of border crossings, but the UN has not done so. Kaag responded that UN workers are afraid of Gazan gangs and looting and fear that the anger of the residents could be directed toward them. She warned that Israel could be left to deal with the humanitarian mess in Gaza on its own, Channel 12 said.The report said Kaag also asked for so-called dual-use items to be allowed in, but Katz said that Israel still insists that no goods that could be used by Hamas to produce weapons be allowed into Gaza.While ministry officials acknowledged a difficult conversation took place, they did not confirm the channel’s account of the details.Aid groups have warned that a significant number of Gazans are experiencing famine-like conditions in the Strip due to the Israel-Hamas war.The issue of aid distribution has become critical, with UN agencies and humanitarian organizations claiming the mass influx of aid consignments across the Gaza border crossings has not been effective in alleviating the humanitarian crisis due to a lack of sufficient distribution outlets, which they claim Israel has not provided.The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), a Defense Ministry body, has long insisted that it is the UN and aid agencies that have failed to increase distribution capacity.In another challenge to aid efforts, Egypt has refused to let aid through its Rafah Border Crossing since Israel took control of the Gaza side of the crossing in early May. The Kerem Shalom Crossing from Israel continues to operate despite coming under intermittent attack by Hamas, and two recently opened crossings in northern Gaza are also operating.According to a New York Times report Tuesday, the aid pier built on the Gaza coast by the United States for some $200 million may be dismantled earlier than planned, having so far completed a total of 10 days of actual operations.Earlier this month, the World Central Kitchen aid organization said it is in ongoing communication with COGAT and that it has succeeded in supplying its numerous kitchens in Gaza with aid brought in through the crossings.

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

20 They will fall among those slain by the sword. The sword is appointed! Let them drag her away along with all her multitudes.

24 Elam (IRAN) is there with all her multitudes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword—those who went down uncircumcised to the earth below, who once spread their terror in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit.
25 Among the slain they prepare a resting place for Elam with all her hordes, with her graves all around her. All of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword, although their terror was once spread in the land of the living. They bear their disgrace with those who descend to the Pit. They are placed among the slain.

DR SAMUEL DOCTORIANS VISION - SECOND ANGEL: MIDDLE EAST
Then I saw that the second angel had a sickle in his hand, such as is used in harvesting.The second angel said: "Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the way to Iran."I saw those countries in a few split seconds."All of Turkey and those [inaudible] countries that have refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each other and kill one another."I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries. I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full of blood. I saw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weapons used in many of those countries. Smoke rising from everywhere. Sudden destruction – men destroying one another. I heard these words:"Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come." The angel said, "The chosen, the church, the remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God."I saw fires rising to heaven.The angel said: "This is the final judgment. My church shall be purified, protected and ready for the final day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in those countries. "The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the decision to publicly criticize US President Joe Biden’s administration even though ministers and advisers had recommended against it, according to Israeli television reports aired Wednesday.Channels 13 and 12 said a clandestine meeting held before Netanyahu’s Tuesday video statement — which accused Washington of withholding arms shipments to Israel, calling it “inconceivable” — included National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and other officials, all of whom unequivocally objected to Netanyahu’s intention.Though Dermer was in favor of a public confrontation after previously discussing the idea with Netanyahu, he asked the premier to wait with the criticism until he and Hanegbi meet US officials at the White House on Thursday, the network said.Both Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi were reportedly opposed to airing the dispute publicly, instead preferring to handle matters behind closed doors over concerns a public rift with the US could benefit the Hamas and Hezbollah terror groups.Channel 13 quoted an unnamed senior Israeli official as saying that “Netanyahu made the decision against the opinion of the advisers and ministers with whom he consulted.”The official added that the prime minister’s remarks caused “great outrage in the Biden administration,” which earlier strongly denied reports it canceled high-level talks between American and Israeli security in protest of the video, saying the meeting had merely been moved due to a scheduling conflict.In a report by the Haaretz daily, US officials accused Netanyahu of “ungratefulness,” denying any holdup of arms beyond a shipment of heavy bombs that Biden has withheld over concerns they could be used in densely populated areas of Rafah.The officials also fumed over the timing of Netanyahu’s statement, noting it followed recent visits by senior administration figures who are seeking to secure a hostage-for-ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas and put a lid on related cross-border fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah on the Lebanon border.“Anything he wants to tell us, he could have told [US Secretary of State Antony] Blinken and [special envoy Amos] Hochstein,” one official told the newspaper. “There was no reason to publish a video like that.”A separate report by the Axios news site cited Biden administration officials who charged that Netanyahu’s actions were interfering with US efforts to deescalate the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, saying they were concerned his conduct would create “daylight” between Washington and Jerusalem and cast a pall over Sullivan’s meeting with Hanegbi and Dermer.“It is hard to fathom how a video like the one Netanyahu released on Tuesday helps with deterrence. There is nothing like telling Hezbollah that the US is withholding weapons from Israel, which is false, to make them feel emboldened,” a senior US official said.All the officials quoted by the news site said they believed there was no clear aim to Netanyahu’s conduct beyond domestic politicking, with some speculating it may have been part of jockeying with Gallant ahead of the latter’s expected visit to Washington next week.Netanyahu himself is due to soon visit the US, with an address to a joint session of Congress scheduled for July 24.According to the Kan public broadcaster, additional Democrats are now considering boycotting Netanyahu’s speech in light of the video, saying it could be the decisive factor for those on the fence.On Tuesday, US Senator Elizabeth Warren said she would boycott the speech, accusing Netanyahu of having “created a humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza.“He has also made clear that he does not support US policy for a two-state solution that will let the people of Israel and Palestinians develop their own nation self-determination, live with dignity,” she told reporters, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.Representative Ro Khanna, Representative Jim Clyburn and Senator Bernie Sanders have also said in recent days that they would not be attending Netanyahu’s speech and they are expected to be joined by dozens of other progressive lawmakers.Jacob Magid contributed to this report.

PM's office: IDF 'of course committed' to destroying Hamas-IDF spokesman says Hamas can’t be destroyed, drawing retort from PM: ‘That’s war’s goal’Hagari calls Hamas ‘an idea rooted in the hearts of the people,’ also says it will stay in Gaza unless alternative found; PM reiterates war aims, amid divisions with defense brass-By ToI Staff Today, 3:02 am-JUN 20,24

IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari on Wednesday cast Israel’s war aim of eradicating the Hamas terror group as unattainable, appearing to underscore tensions between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and top defense officials over his handling of the war in Gaza.“This business of destroying Hamas, making Hamas disappear — it’s simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public,” Hagari told Channel 13 news in an interview.“Hamas is an idea, Hamas is a party. It’s rooted in the hearts of the people — anyone who thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong,” he continued.Hagari also warned that “if the government doesn’t find an alternative — [Hamas] will remain” in the Gaza Strip.In response, Netanyahu’s office said in a statement that the security cabinet “has defined as one of the war goals the destruction of Hamas’s military and governance capabilities.”“The Israel Defense Forces is of course committed to this,” the statement added.The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit subsequently issued a statement saying the military was committed to the government’s stated war goals, including destroying Hamas’s governing and military abilities, adding that Hagari had talked in the interview about “eradicating Hamas as an ideology and an idea.”“Any claim otherwise is taking the remarks out of context,” the IDF added.Hagari’s comments Wednesday echoed remarks he made last month, when he was asked whether the military’s need to return to areas in Gaza previously cleared of Hamas was a result of the government not making a decision on who will rule the Strip instead of the terror group.“There is no doubt that a governmental alternative to Hamas would create pressure on Hamas, but that is a question for the political echelon,” he said at the time.Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has urged Netanyahu to advance plans for postwar governance of Gaza, warning in May that a failure to find a replacement for Hamas will undermine Israel’s military achievements as the terror group would be able to regroup and reassert control of the enclave. Additionally, Gallant called on Netanyahu to rule out the idea of Israeli military and civil rule in Gaza after the end of the war triggered by Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, as some far-right members of Netanyahu’s coalition advocate.Television reports have said IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar also recently feuded with Netanyahu over strategic planning, while National Unity leader Benny Gantz resigned last week from the emergency war government after the premier refused to present a postwar plan by the deadline he set.There have been other recent signs of friction between the military and Netanyahu, including over “tactical pauses” in fighting along a road in southern Gaza that Netanyahu criticized, while the IDF said the move was in line with the premier’s instructions to increase the amount of aid entering the Strip.“In order to achieve the goal of destroying Hamas’s capabilities I’ve had to make decisions that weren’t always accepted by the military leadership,” Netanyahu asserted during Sunday’s cabinet meeting.He also took a jab at the IDF, saying “we have a state with an army, not an army with a state,” in a reversal of a quip about Prussia.Netanyahu’s eldest son Yair in recent days has also increasingly lashed out at army leaders, blaming them for the October 7 massacre that, unlike the defense brass, the premier has repeatedly refused to acknowledge responsibility for.Agencies contributed to this report.

Shipping industry urges Red Sea action as Yemen’s Houthis sink second merchant ship-Joint statement of world’s largest seafaring groups calls for ‘swift de-escalation’ amid spike in attacks by Iran-backed rebels, who are terrorizing trade route in support of Gaza-By Jonathan Saul 19 June 2024, 11:52 pm

LONDON, United Kingdom (Reuters) — Urgent action must be taken in the Red Sea to stop attacks on merchant shipping by Yemen’s Houthis, leading industry groups said on Wednesday, after the sinking of a second ship.Iran-aligned Houthis have launched over 70 drone and missile strikes on the important trade route since November, saying they were doing so in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The Yemeni rebels have also seized one vessel and its crew and killed at least three seafarers.“It is deplorable that innocent seafarers are being attacked while simply performing their jobs, vital jobs which keep the world warm, fed, and clothed,” the world’s top shipping associations said in a joint statement.“These attacks must stop now. We call for states with influence in the region to safeguard our innocent seafarers and for the swift de-escalation of the situation in the Red Sea.”The Greek-owned Tutor coal carrier attacked by Yemen’s Houthi rebels in the Red Sea last week has sunk, salvagers confirmed on Wednesday.The vessel was struck with missiles and an explosive-laden remote-controlled boat, according to sources.International naval forces have been deployed to provide mainly defensive support for ships still sailing through the Red Sea, but the attacks have increased significantly.Insurance industry sources said on Wednesday there was also mounting concern over the use of attack drone boats by the Houthis.“They are harder to defend against and potentially more lethal as they strike the waterline,” one industry source said.“Missiles have — to date — mainly caused deck and superstructure damage [to ships].”There have been 10 Houthi strikes so far in June compared with five in May, said Munro Anderson, head of operations at marine war risk and insurance specialist Vessel Protect, part of Pen Underwriting.“The first successful use of an unmanned surface vessel represents a new challenge for commercial shipping within an already complex environment,” he added.Insurance industry sources said that additional war risk premiums, paid when vessels sail through the Red Sea, had hovered close to 0.7% of the value of a ship in recent days from around 1% earlier this year.They added that with a second ship sinking and the losses likely to emerge from that, rates are likely to firm up, adding hundreds of thousands of dollars of extra costs to every voyage.Ships must divert around southern Africa, which is the best way to protect seafarers, said Stephen Cotton, General Secretary of the International Transport Workers’ Federation, the leading seafarers’ union.“We would also welcome proper escorts and the shielding of ships by naval forces, which would reduce the risks of ships being hit,” he added.

Fighting off Houthis for months, US carrier in Red Sea may be running out of steam-The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower is long overdue for a break from the longest-running naval battle since WWII, but experts worry effort to protect shipping could flounder without it-By Lolita C. Baldor and Jon Gambrell 19 June 2024, 11:52 pm

AP — The combat markings emblazoned on the F/A-18 fighter jet tell the story: 15 missiles and six drones, painted in black just below the cockpit windshield.As the jet sits on the deck of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier in the Red Sea, its markings illuminate the enemy targets that it’s destroyed in recent months and underscore the intensity of the fight to protect commercial shipping from persistent missile and drone attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.But they also hint at the fatigue setting in, as the carrier, its strike group and about 7,000 sailors close in on their ninth month waging the most intense running sea battle since World War II. That raises difficult questions about what comes next as US military and defense leaders wrangle over how they will replicate the carrier’s combat power if the ship returns home to Norfolk, Virginia.Already, the carrier’s deployment has been extended twice, and sailors post dark memes around the ship about only getting one short break during their steadily growing tour. Some worry they could be ordered to stay out even longer as the campaign to protect global trade in the vital Red Sea corridor drags on.At the Pentagon, leaders are wrestling with what has become a thorny but familiar debate. Do they bow to Navy pressure to bring the Eisenhower and the other three warships in its strike group home or heed US Central Command’s plea to keep them there longer? And if they bring them home, what can replace them? US officials say that they’re weighing all options and that a decision is expected in the coming weeks.US commanders in the Middle East have long argued that they need an aircraft carrier in the volatile region. They say that it’s an effective deterrent to keep Iran in check and that the ship gives them critical and unique war-fighting capabilities against the Houthis, who say their attacks are aimed at bringing an end to the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.The massive ship is a flexible, floating flight line that can launch fighter jets on a moment’s notice, without any of the limits that host nations in the Middle East can place on Air Force aircraft taking off from bases on their soil. And those carrier-based jets can get within striking distance of Houthi weapon systems quickly without crossing borders.“What the carrier brings is an offensive platform that’s mobile, agile and doesn’t have any access, basing or overflight restrictions,” said retired Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, who headed US Central Command for three years, ending in 2022. “It’s sovereign US territory. You can do as you want with those airplanes on that carrier. So that gives you enormous flexibility when you consider response options across the region.”Rear Adm. Marc Miguez — who commands Carrier Strike Group Two, which includes the Eisenhower and supporting ships — agrees that the aircraft carrier is crucial to America’s military.“Every time that there’s a crisis on the globe, what’s the first thing the president asks? ‘Where are the US aircraft carriers?’” Miguez told The Associated Press during a visit to the Eisenhower and the USS Laboon, one of the guided-missile destroyers accompanying it.On any given day, Navy F/A-18s roar off the Eisenhower and take out Houthi missiles or drones preparing to launch. The US warships have fired volleys of Tomahawk missiles into Yemen to destroy warehouses of weapons, communications facilities and other targets.Pentagon leaders worry that without the Eisenhower, they will need to tap more Air Force fighter jets based in surrounding countries, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.But many Arab nations place flight or other restrictions on the types of offensive strikes the US can do from their land because of regional sensitivities. Others worry about triggering another war between Saudi Arabia and Yemen or inflaming tensions with Iran.US military leaders say the US can adapt and get forces where they need to be. But that can require longer fighter jet flights from distant bases, requiring refueling capabilities and presenting other hurdles.Extending the Eisenhower’s deployment again is an option — but for many, it’s the least desirable.Navy leaders worry about the sailors, who have been able to see incoming Houthi-launched missiles seconds before they are destroyed by the ship’s defensive strikes. And officials in the Pentagon are talking about how to care for the sailors when they return home, including counseling and treatment for possible post-traumatic stress.Miguez also notes the strain on the ships themselves.“We are constantly reminding the Department of Defense that we’re going to need to take a respite and a break, to try and get back to maintenance,” he said. “These ships are floating around in seawater. They’re steel, and they require a lot of maintenance. And when you run them past red lines, when you run them past scheduled maintenance activities, you have to pay those off somewhere down the line.”A third option would be sending other ships — perhaps another carrier — to take the Eisenhower’s place. But the massive ships are relatively rare. The US operates 11, which is about 40% of the total number worldwide. Other countries have only one or two.The US could turn to France or the United Kingdom, which each have one, for at least a temporary stint in the Red Sea. US officials have insisted that protecting the sea lanes is a multinational effort and having an ally take a turn could reinforce that message. It could give the US enough breathing room to get another American carrier there, perhaps late this year.Of the 11 US carriers, four are deployed, three are in training and preparing to deploy, and four are in routine maintenance and repair, which usually lasts about a year or more.The USS John C. Stennis, however, is undergoing its major, mid-life overhaul, which can last about four years and calls for the replacement and upgrading of the ship’s nuclear propulsion system and other critical radar, communications, electronics and combat components. A carrier’s lifespan is about 50 years.One carrier is always based in Japan and does regional patrols and exercises, and another is generally deployed to the Asia-Pacific. That focus on Asia reflects the long-stated belief that China is America’s top strategic challenge, and 60% of US naval forces are based in the Pacific. The rest are Atlantic-based.A third carrier is off South America’s west coast, heading toward Japan, leaving the Eisenhower as the only one in the Middle East or Europe.Lacking a carrier, another option would be to deploy the USS Wasp, a large amphibious assault ship now in Europe that carries F-35 fighter jets. Those jets do short takeoffs and vertical landings, so they can do strike missions off smaller ships.

Canada puts Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on terror blacklist-Ottawa warns citizens to leave Iran, drops long-standing objections to IRGC terror designation, after opposition MPs and others step up pressure following missile attack on Israel-By Reuters 19 June 2024, 11:52 pm

Canada on Wednesday listed Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, while calling on Canadians in the Islamic country to leave.“Our government has made the decision to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terrorist entity under the Criminal Code,” Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc told a news conference.Opposition legislators have long demanded the IRGC be blacklisted but the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had previously resisted pressure, saying the move would risk unintended consequences.Canadian lawmakers stepped up the campaign in April after Iran fired hundreds of missiles at Israel, and in May Canada’s House of Commons unanimously backed a report that called on the government to declare the IRGC a terror group.The office of Foreign Minister Melanie Joly warned Canadians in Iran that they could face arbitrary detention by Tehran over the move.“My message is clear: for those who are in Iran right now, it’s time to come back home,” she said Wednesday, according to GlobalNews.ca. “And for those who are planning to go to Iran, don’t go.”Canada already listed the IRGC’s overseas arm, the Quds Force, as a terrorist group. Ottawa broke off diplomatic relations with Tehran in 2012.Once a group is placed on the terror list, police can charge anyone who financially or materially supports the group and banks can freeze assets, according to the CBC, which first reported on Ottawa’s plans earlier Wednesday.In October 2022, Canada said it would ban the IRGC’s top leadership from entering the country and promised more targeted sanctions. At the time, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland stated that “the IRGC is a terrorist organization.”At the same time, Ottawa rejected adding the IRGC to its terror blacklist, saying the move might unfairly ensnare Iranians in Canada who had fled the country but were conscripted into the force when still in Iran.The IRGC, a powerful armed militia that controls a business empire as well as elite armed and intelligence forces in Iran, has been accused by Western nations of carrying out a global terrorist campaign. Iran rejects that.In 2020, the IRGC shot down a Ukrainian jetliner flying from Tehran to Kyiv, killing everyone on board, including 57 Canadians and dozens of others who were traveling to Canada via Ukraine.Trudeau told families of victims in January that the government was “continuing to look for ways to responsibly list the IRGC as a terrorist organization.”Hamed Esmaeilion of the Association of Families of Flight PS752 Victims told the CBC that the organization welcomed the apparent move, which it has repeatedly called on the government to take.“It has been a long journey. Long and painful,” he told the CBC.AFP and Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Amid multiplying spats, Netanyahu urges coalition partners to ‘get a grip’PM says government members must set aside ‘partisan interests’ and unite around war effort in Gaza, as he faces Haredi anger, public row with Ben Gvir, dissent from Barkat-By ToI Staff 19 June 2024, 9:46 pm

Facing a growing number of high-profile spats involving members of his coalition, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Wednesday for his political partners to “get a grip” and abandon “petty politics.”Netanyahu’s appeal came after his Likud party engaged in a high-profile quarrel with Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben Gvir, whom it accused of leaking “state secrets,” and amid intense ultra-Orthodox anger at the premier’s decision to drop his backing for a controversial municipal rabbis appointments bill sought by the Shas party.Meanwhile, Economy Minister Nir Barkat drove a further wedge by announcing Wednesday he would not back the current form of another contentious bill dealing with the army draft for the Haredi community — the latest among several Likud officials to say the bill must undergo changes that will likely be unacceptable to the ultra-Orthodox.“We are at war on several fronts, and we face great challenges and difficult decisions,” Netanyahu declared in a video message posted online, referring to the ongoing war against the Palestinian terror group Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and clashes with the Hezbollah terror group on the border with Lebanon. “Therefore, I vehemently demand that all coalition partners get a grip and rise to the occasion.”“This is not the time for petty politics, this is not the time for legislation that endangers the coalition which is fighting for victory over our enemies,” he continued. (The premier himself until Tuesday appeared to be aggressively pushing the bill on municipal rabbinical appointments.)“We must all focus solely on the tasks before us: defeating Hamas, returning all our hostages and returning our residents safely to their homes, both in the north and in the south. And so I demand of everyone — put aside any other consideration. Put aside any partisan interest. Stand as one, united, behind our troops,” he said.The Likud party accused Ben Gvir Thursday of leaking “state secrets” after the publication of reports that Netanyahu had offered him sensitive security briefings in exchange for his support of the bill regulating the municipal rabbis. Likud in a statement said the reports of the alleged offer were “full of inaccuracies.”Ben Gvir attacked the party in turn, suggesting it was Netanyahu who had been leaking information from meetings.Netanyahu himself pulled the rabbi bill on Tuesday night from the Knesset agenda after coming to realize he did not have the votes to advance it, prompting Haredi parties to issue veiled threats that they could bolt the coalition, removing the government’s parliamentary majority.Tensions also rose within Likud as Barkat became the second senior member of the ruling party to publicly say he would vote against the ultra-Orthodox enlistment law in its current form, while noting that additional party lawmakers would also oppose it, as several have indicated.The bill is widely seen as perpetuating blanket exemptions from service for most of the Haredi community. With the IDF facing manpower shortages amid the ongoing military conflicts, the issue has become a political hot potato.Barkat said he informed Netanyahu that he would oppose the current text of the bill and that he would do so “together with additional Likud MKs.” He said the bill must undergo “fundamental changes” before it is brought for further votes at the Knesset plenum.He thus joined Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who unlike the other 63 coalition lawmakers already voted against the bill in a vote last week which revived it from the previous Knesset, allowing the legislative process to continue from the stage at which it was abandone.Several other MKs from Netanyahu’s Likud party have voiced their opposition to the bill, as has another minister.The bill’s advancement, as the military says it needs thousands of more soldiers as soon as possible due to the burden of the ongoing war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, has enraged many secular and religious Zionist Israelis. The ultra-Orthodox community is estimated to include tens of thousands of able-bodied men fit for drafting into the military.“In order to win the war, the IDF needs more soldiers,” Barkat said in a statement. He said his previous vote in favor of reviving the bill was “technical,” and laid out his conditions for supporting it from now on.Sharing the letter he also sent to Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chair MK Yuli Edelstein and coalition chair MK Ofir Katz, Barkat said the bill must impose mandatory service “for all residents of the state, including the Haredi and Arab communities”; meet the security establishment’s needs; recognize the “importance and value of Torah studies”; have the army adapt service options to the needs of soldiers from the ultra-Orthodox and other communities; and introduce a series of incentives — focusing on combat fighters — and sanctions for draft evasion.Barkat, who reportedly plans to challenge Netanyahu as leader of Likud after the war against Hamas ends, said he would support a revised version of the bill that included his demands.“However, if a proposal is brought to the plenum that is ‘more of the same’… I will oppose the bill,” he wrote.Likud issued a response quipping that it “expects Nir Barkat to deal with the cost of living and not look for pretexts to topple a right-wing government during wartime.”The bill, which has already passed a first reading in the Knesset, would lower the current age of exemption from mandatory service for Haredi yeshiva students from 26 to 21 and “very slowly” increase the rate of ultra-Orthodox conscription.Barkat’s move came a day after Edelstein chaired a meeting of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee to discuss the bill and insisted that despite widespread criticism of the legislation, it provided an opportunity to solve one of the longest-running controversies in Israeli politics.While he voted for the revival of the bill, Edelstein has also indicated that he would not allow it to pass through his committee in its current form.At the Knesset meeting, Likud MK Boaz Bismuth declared “I will vote in favor of this bill only if the number of [Haredi] conscripts is significant, and the direction is a conscription law, and not a conscription exemption law. Otherwise, I will vote against it.”Fellow party member Tally Gotliv has also in the past said she would not back the bill, though like Bismuth, she did vote in favor of reviving the bill last week.In a joint letter to Netanyahu earlier this month, Likud MKs Dan Illouz and Moshe Saada along with Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli indicated that while they intended to vote for the bill’s revival, they would not support it in its final readings without “significant changes.” While Chikli is not a lawmaker and cannot vote in the plenum, his involvement highlights the significant reservations felt by some in the coalition regarding the proposed law.Netanyahu’s coalition holds 64 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, and with growing internal Likud opposition, the bill is unlikely to pass further readings.Ultra-Orthodox men of military age have been able to avoid being conscripted to the Israel Defense Forces for decades by enrolling in yeshivas for Torah study and obtaining repeated one-year service deferrals until they reach the age of military exemption. In 2017 the High Court ruled that mass exemptions to military service on a group basis are illegal and discriminatory. Successive governments have since that time tried and failed to formulate new legislation to settle the matter, while requesting repeated deferrals from the court.The High Court has demanded that a new, egalitarian policy be legislated or else the state immediately start recruiting tens of thousands of yeshiva students, which the ultra-Orthodox parties are vehemently opposed to.However, justices have shown diminishing patience, and the need to fill the military’s manpower shortfalls has become far more acute since the outbreak of the war in Gaza and the threat of war on the Lebanese border.The court ruled in March that the state must cease subsidizing Haredi yeshivas whose students are eligible for the draft, since the legal framework for doing so had expired. As a result, Netanyahu has had to deal with a severe political headache owing to the high priority Haredi political parties place on both yeshiva funding and military exemptions.

Nasrallah says ‘no place’ in Israel would be safe in war, threatens to target Cyprus-In televised speech, terror leader claims Hezbollah does not want total war but is prepared for it, will not halt fighting until permanent ceasefire is reached in Gaza-By Gianluca Pacchiani-and Agencies 19 June 2024, 9:46 pm

The head of Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group Hassan Nasrallah said Wednesday that nowhere in Israel would be safe if a full-fledged war breaks out between the two foes, while also threatening Cyprus and other parts of the Mediterranean.Speaking at a ceremony commemorating slain Hezbollah senior commander Taleb Abdullah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon last week alongside three other operatives, Nasrallah commented on the escalating conflict with the Jewish state and said the Shiite terror group does not want “total war” but is only acting in support of Hamas.Hezbollah has been attacking northern Israel since October 8, leading to Israeli reprisals and an escalating conflict Israel has increasingly warned could spark open war.Were Israel to launch a large-scale offensive against the Lebanese terror group, it must prepare for attacks from the ground, the air and the sea, and the “situation in the Mediterranean will change completely,” Nasrallah vowed.“No place” in Israel would be spared from the group’s weapons in case of a full-blown war, Nasrallah warned, saying Hezbollah will fight with “no rules” and “no ceilings” and adding: “The enemy knows well that we have prepared ourselves for the worst… and that no place… will be spared from our rockets.”Israel “knows that what also awaits it in the Mediterranean is very big,” Nasrallah added, without elaborating, possibly insinuating the group could attack its offshore gas rigs.Nasrallah also threatened Cyprus for the first time, saying it had been allowing Israel to use its airports and bases for military exercises and that Hezbollah could consider it “a part of the war” and strike it were it to allow the IDF to use logistical infrastructure in the country to attack Lebanon.“Opening Cypriot airports and bases to the Israeli enemy to target Lebanon would mean that the Cypriot government is part of the war, and the resistance will deal with it as part of the war,” he said.Cyprus is not known to offer any land or base facilities to the Israeli military, but has in the past allowed Israel to use its airspace to occasionally conduct air drills, though never during conflict.There are two British bases in Cyprus, which was a colony until 1960. They have been used for operations in Syria and more recently, Yemen, and the Cypriot government has no say in the matter. According to Hebrew media reports, British Royal Air Force fighter jets and refueling aircraft took off from bases in Cyprus to help thwart a massive drone and missile attack launched by Iran against Israel in mid-April.Following Nasrallah’s speech, Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides said his country “is in no way involved” in any military operations in the region or elsewhere, adding that that the terror leader’s remarks “don’t in any way reflect what’s being attempted, which is to present a picture that Cyprus is involved in military operations.”Christodoulides said Cyprus was “part of the solution, not part of the problem” and was recognized throughout the Arab world and internationally through such initiatives, such as the Cyprus-Gaza maritime corridor delivering humanitarian aid by ship to the Strip.He also said there were avenues of communication with both Lebanon and Iran “through diplomatic means.”Flaunting technological advances-Following Hezbollah’s publication on Tuesday of footage allegedly filmed from one of its reconnaissance drones flying over northern Israel, Nasrallah claimed that the terror group has hours of such footage and of information about sensitive military targets inside Israel, including some that are located far from the northern border.Among such targets are military bases and headquarters located deep inside Israeli territory, some of which have been camouflaged but were uncovered by Hezbollah’s drones, Nasrallah claimed.On Wednesday,  IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi downplayed the publication of the drone footage, saying the IDF is “preparing and building solutions to deal with such capabilities,” and possesses “infinitely more powerful capabilities” that Hezbollah is not aware of.In his speech, Nasrallah claimed that Israeli military leaders have known since October 8 that some of the sensitive targets inside Israeli territory would be targeted.Among such targets, Nasrallah mentioned the Mount Meron air traffic control base, which in his words represented an “aspirational target” in the 2006 Second Lebanon War, and today is fully within reach of Hezbollah’s projectiles.He further alleged that the terror group has developed and keeps manufacturing new missiles and drones, and that its human and military resources are greater than they have ever been.Due to Hezbollah’s continuous attacks, the IDF had been forced to divert resources from Gaza, Nasrallah said, noting that Israel has suffered huge economic losses as a result of the evacuation of towns on the northern border and the halt of agricultural and industrial activities in the area.Despite the military and economic damage, Israeli leaders are not willing to admit the magnitude of the damage, Nasrallah added, in order not to put pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose priority remains the war against Hamas in Gaza.The terror leader also mocked Israel for claiming to possess the strongest army in the region, noting that the IDF has not yet been able to completely dismantle Hamas forces in Rafah despite a ground operation that has lasted several weeks.“We will continue to support Gaza and we are ready for anything. We are not afraid. Our demand is clear: A complete and permanent ceasefire in Gaza,” Nasrallah said, arguing that the ceasefire agreement recently presented by US President Joe Biden to Hamas does not stipulate that the halt in fighting should be permanent. “However, every day, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu comes out and says that a ceasefire is impossible,” Nasrallah claimed. Taking a swipe at Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners Itamar Ben Gvir and Betzalel Smotrich, he predicted that they will “drag the enemy into the abyss.”After his speech, he addresses the families of fallen Hezbollah operatives and Lebanese citizens displaced from the country’s south, saying that the terror group has been conducting the “largest battle since 1948” against Israel.

ADL revises ‘report card’ grading US campuses’ handling of antisemitism-Watchdog reassesses 12 US universities’ grades upwards, 3 downwards, citing new information and ‘serious incidents’ since failing many leading schools-By ToI Staff 19 June 2024, 7:51 pm

The Anti-Defamation League announced on Tuesday that it was revising its Campus Antisemitism Report Card amid the “recent spike in hostile anti-Zionist activity” on college campuses in the United States.Citing new information on responses to anti-Israel encampments, the antisemitism watchdog revised upward the grades it gave to 12 schools, including Princeton and Stanford universities. The grades of three schools, including the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), were revised downward, from D to F, for “serious incident(s) at encampment[s] on campus and lack of adequate administration response.”US campuses have been awash in pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests since October 7, when thousands of Hamas terrorists stormed southern Israel to kill nearly 1,200 people and take over 250 hostages. Student activists have demanded universities cut ties with Israel amid the country’s devastating retaliatory offensive in the Gaza Strip.The US Congress has launched investigations into several universities’ alleged mishandling of the protests, which some Jewish groups, including the ADL, have deemed antisemitic.The ADL’s “report card,” first issued in April, assigned grades from A through F to 85 US universities’ institutional response to campus antisemitism. The ADL said the school selection represented the top national and liberal arts colleges, in addition to schools with the highest enrollment of Jewish students.Since the report card’s initial release, anti-Israel activity on US campuses reached a fever pitch, beginning with the aggressive April 30 dispersal of a “Gaza solidarity encampment” at Columbia University. The following months, coinciding with the end of the school year, saw many instances of “antisemitic harassment, intimidation and violence,” according to the ADL, which said it had recorded over 2,600 arrests of pro-Palestinian student protesters.“This reassessment was deemed necessary because of the extreme volatility of the current campus climate,” the ADL said in a statement, noting that “the surge in protests has intensified anti-Jewish hate, leaving many Jewish students feeling threatened and, in some cases, unsafe.”In the April report card, only two schools — Brandeis and Elon universities — received an A grade. Seventeen schools received a B, 29 schools received a C, 24 schools received a D and 13 schools — including Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology — received an F.The new report card indicated a slight improvement in the ADL’s assessment, with two schools receiving an A, 18 schools receiving a B, 32 receiving a C, 24 receiving a D and nine receiving an F.The ADL also commended six schools, including the University of Chicago, for taking decisive action against anti-Israel encampments, but left the institutions’ grades unchanged.“Going forward, ADL will offer universities the opportunity to submit updated information in October if they wish to have their grades reassessed,” the group said. “ADL will continue to update the Report Card on an annual basis each April.”Some Jewish groups have criticized the ADL’s report card. J Street, a prominent liberal Zionist lobby in the US, said in a statement in April that affiliated students attending universities that received D or F ratings described the report card as “absurd,” “exaggerated” and “unhelpful.”According to the ADL’s website, being involved in an antisemitism investigation and “recent anti-Zionist student government activity” contributed negatively to the group’s assessment of a school.Positive contributing factors included “recent action taken” against anti-Israel activity, “active Jewish life” on campus, and whether or not the school adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism, which has been criticized for “muzzling” critics of Israel by branding as antisemitic some forms of opposition to the country.

Poll: Over half of Arab Israelis feel sense of ‘shared destiny’ with Jews-Survey of Arab citizens also finds that over two thirds are in favor of an Arab party joining a future government coalition, and 40% say it doesn’t have to be a center-left one-By Gianluca Pacchiani-19 June 2024, 6:16 pm

Just over half of Arab Israelis (51.6%) feel that the prolonged war against Hamas in Gaza has given rise to a sense of “shared destiny” between Arab and Jewish citizens of Israel, according to a recent survey by the Moshe Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University.The poll, which was presented at TAU’s conference “The Future of Israel” on Wednesday, found that a slight majority of Arabs across religious denominations (Druze, Christians and Muslims) identify with that statement.The poll was based on a representative sample of 502 Arab citizens of Israel above the age of 18, and was initiated by the Konrad Adenauer Program for Jewish-Arab Cooperation, supported by the German Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. The survey analyzed expectations for the future of the Gaza Strip and perceptions of the ongoing conflict’s impact on the Arab minority inside the Jewish state.Asked about who should run Gaza the day after the war, most respondents (58.5%) said that the administration should be in the hands of Palestinians. Of those, 24.4% said they would prefer local bodies from Gaza to manage the Strip, followed by 19.4% who said it should be governed by the Palestinian Authority, and 14.7% said who by Hamas. Conversely, 34.4% of respondents said that an external non-Palestinian body should govern the coastal enclave. Of those, 19.4% opted for an international force, 8.4% chose Israel and 6.5% favored a coalition of Arab states.As for the conflict’ impact on the personal lives of Arab Israelis, 67.8% of respondents reported they now find themselves in a relatively good economic situation, in stark contrast to the early days of the war. In November, 64.9% said their finances had been negatively affected by the war.Volunteers at theHowever, amid a persistent deadly crime wave in the community, almost three quarters of those polled (74%) reported a low sense of safety, while 60.6% indicated that violence and crime were the most pressing issue affecting Arab Israeli communities.The Abraham Initiatives, a coexistence watchdog that monitors violent crime in the Arab community, says 98 Arabs have been killed so far in 2024 in incidents of violent crime. More Arabs were murdered in 2023 (244) than in any previous year, according to a year-end report published by the Abraham Initiatives. The figure was over twice as many as in 2022, indicating a significant upward trend amid a proliferation of illegal weapons and organized crime.Widespread support for a seat in government-Arab citizens appear to largely back increased participation in political life. A clear majority, or 68.6%, indicated that an Arab party should join a governing coalition in the next elections, including 40.2% who said that it did not necessarily have to be a center-left government.Arab political parties have traditionally foregone participation in Israeli governments. Ra’am made history in the last, short-lived government by being the first Arab party in decades to join a coalition.Only 14.2% indicated that they are firmly against any Arab party joining or supporting a ruling coalitionArik Rudnitzky, Director of the Konrad Adenauer Program, who led the survey, said in a press statement: “The study shows that the current war between Israel and Hamas, which is the longest and hardest in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since 1948, has not altered the political compass of Israel’s Arab citizens.”“Israel’s Arab citizens worry about their brethren in Gaza, which is only natural and should be respected,” Rudnitzky continued. “However, it’s important to understand that sympathizing with Palestinians in Gaza is not the same as identifying with their political leadership. In fact, a significant part of the survey’s respondents believe that local elements in Gaza, and not Hamas, should govern life in the Gaza Strip after the war, and another third say that a non-Palestinian body should do this.“In addition, readiness for political collaboration with the Israeli government… alongside an emphasis on Israeli identity combined with a deep Arab or religious identity – all these prove that Israel’s Arab citizens are an integral part of Israeli society, not only in theory, but in practice as well. The conclusions emerging from the current survey are important not only to decision makers in the country, but also to every citizen who believes in a true partnership between Jews and Arabs within Israel,” he said.
