Pray ball-1,000 attend Yom Kippur service at ballpark in New Jersey-worshipers from Temple Har Shalom, a reform congregation, reportedly able to maintain social distancing in the 6,100 capacity arena-By Marcy Oster-sep 30,20-Today, 8:31 pm

A minor league ballpark in New Jersey was transformed into a large synagogue for Yom Kippur.About 1,000 congregants from Temple Har Shalom, a Reform congregation in Warren, spread throughout the TD Bank Ballpark in Bridgewater Township for Yom Kippur services, WABC-TV reported. The worshipers were able to sit socially distanced but also see each other, according to the report.Josh Kalafer, a member of Temple Har Shalom, and his family own the Somerset Patriots, an independent baseball squad in the Atlantic League with no affiliation to any Major League team.“It’s one of the most meaningful things we’ve ever been a part of,” Kalafer told WABC.The ballpark, in central New Jersey, has a capacity of 6,100.

Northern community successfully transfers ancient ritual bath to new home-Kibbutz Hannaton in the Jezreel Valley raised hundreds of thousands of shekels needed to move 57-ton Roman-era mikveh discovered during highway construction-By Jessica Steinberg-sep 30,20-Today, 7:37 pm

A Roman-era mikveh, or ritual bath, was successfully transferred this week from a highway interchange under construction to Kibbutz Hannaton, a nearby community in the Jezreel Valley.It took two weeks to prepare the transfer of the 57-ton stone bath, which included detaching it from bedrock, surrounding it with a steel cage to protect it, and hoisting it onto a tractor-trailer to move it down the road to its new home on the kibbutz, near the community’s existing ritual bath.“It was really against all odds,” said Steve Gray, a kibbutz member who was part of the team that moved the unlikely project toward completion. “It was a rollercoaster of emotions the whole way.”The summertime discovery of the ancient ritual bath united the kibbutz, the Israel Antiquities Authority, a public infrastructure company, and the local government in the efforts to save it for posterity.The existence of the mikveh, found on the remains of an ancient farm, indicated that the residents were Jewish and led a traditional way of life, according to the Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologists in charge of the dig, Abd Elghani Ibrahim and Dr. Walid Atrash.It was the first Jewish farm from the Second Temple period found in the Galilee, they said, changing long-held notions that Jews in the Roman period lived only in villages and towns.About 1,700 years have passed since the farm was destroyed in an earthquake, and about 1,400 years since the site was finally abandoned. The Roman-era farm and ritual bath discovered during the construction of a highway in the Lower Galilee, in June 2020 (Courtesy Ibrahim/Israel Antiquities Authority)-Gray, a tour guide currently out of work due to the coronavirus, was volunteering on the Israel Antiquities Authority dig that unexpectedly uncovered the ritual bath in June during the construction of a highway overseen by Netivei Yisrael, the National Transport Infrastructure Company.When the mivkeh was discovered, locals were allowed to come and see it. Hannaton resident Haviva Ner-David, a rabbi and writer who runs the Shmaya Mikva on the kibbutz, saw the mikveh and decided to try to bring it to Hannaton.Ner-David, Gray and another community member, Anat Harrel, who spearheaded an effort to raise 256,500 shekels ($75,000), enough money to dig up the ritual bath and move it to the kibbutz’s land — a task that seemed nearly impossible.“There was a point in the first week of August when we thought we’d have to return money to donors,” said Gray, referring to the money raised from a crowdfunding campaign and family foundations that pitched in as well.Finally, working with the local government authority, the kibbutz team was given the final portion from a budget set aside for archaeological and historical preservation projects. The highway authority gave them until September 13 to remove the ritual bath.A 500-ton crane was used to lift the mikveh out of its base and then drop it into its new home at Hannaton, a deep hole that was seven meters wide and three meters deep.The crane that moved the Roman-era ritual bath to its new home in Kibbutz Hannaton in September 2020 (Courtesy Yuli Schwartz/Israel Antiquities Authority)-Once the mikveh was placed in the hole, there was great celebration among the kibbutz members, said Gray.“It was so much more emotional than I had anticipated,” he said.Now the kibbutz has to figure out what to do with the area that is centered with the ancient mikveh. The Israel Antiquities Authority has technically lent the ritual bath to the kibbutz, and the community has to figure out how to present the national treasure to the public, whether that will include using it as a ritual bath, or creating an archaeological park out of the space.Whatever the decision, it is something of a miracle that the bath is now located at Hannaton, said Gray.“It’s the power of the narrative that got people enthused,” he said. “It’s a confluence of things, of people who are enthusiastic and the story and Hannaton.”

 ArchaeologyTefah unit used in sukka building for Feast of Tabernacles-Rabbinic debate settled? Study takes measure of biblical ‘handbreadth’ unit-Comparison of 350 years of Iron Age storage jars finds that despite changing vessel shapes, the rims maintain diameter of a man’s hand — the source of the elusive ‘tefah’ measure-By Amanda Borschel-Dan-sep 30,20-Today, 5:55 pm

Pottery production was man’s work back in Iron Age Israel. A new Israeli study comparing the dimensions of hundreds of ceramic storage jars over 350 years of production discovered that the inner-rim diameter measure remained consistent with the width of a man’s hand, an elusive unit known from biblical times as a tefah.The tefah unit is attested to in the Hebrew Bible (see Numbers 25:25 and 37:12), as well as in ancient Assyrian and Egyptian sources. But the precise measurement of the biblical unit has remained a matter of longtime rabbinical debate.While Iron Age vessels’ body shapes and volumes morphed drastically over the centuries, their average inner-rim diameters — between 8.85 and 8.97 centimeters — appear to be a uniform Iron Age unit that corresponds with the width of the average male’s hand. Moreover, the study states that palm dimensions have barely changed in the past 3,000 years: The team used 1980 data from the United States Army, which, when ordering gloves for their male soldiers, found their men’s handbreadth mean value to be 8.67±0.48 centimeters.Therefore, the elusive tefah unit can be confidently measured in modern male handbreadths.The measure of the tefah unit is far from hypothetical in Jewish law today. In practical terms, the ancient measurement is still used for a variety of situations, including the upcoming Feast of the Tabernacles in which Jews’ makeshift huts are built according to prescribed biblical units.From Left-to-right: Storage jars from Khiyife, Hippo, Lmlk. The ‘tefah’ inner-rim diameter is outlined in red. (Hebrew University)-According to a Hebrew University press release, rabbis have tried to give modern conversions, with two leading theories that were posited by Avraham Chaim Naeh and the Chazon Ish, both 20th century pre-State Palestine Orthodox rabbis. “According to Rabbi Chaim Naeh, one tefah = 8 centimeters, whereas according to the Chazon Ish one tefah = 9.6 centimeters,” writes the press release, noting that the new study’s average tefah jar rim diameter is “squarely in between.”A signature move-According to study co-author Ortal Harush, the standardized handbreadth jar rim diameters — dating from pre-Temple times to the early First Temple period — were very much a manufacturing “signature” among professional potters.Harush, an expert in ceramic technology, said the Iron Age potters were experts — skilled craftsmen, versus amateurs who created almost disposable vessels for household use. Like the modern masters she has studied from India, these Iron Age men would have eschewed tools and instead used their hands to measure their jar rims. For these potters, making a standardized rim measurement was as instinctive as any number of mindless chores performed today.“Just as you brush your teeth the same way every morning, without thinking about it,” Harush told The Times of Israel, these men would have used their hands in an innate, automatic way to finish assembling the tops of pots in a standardized manner. “The things you’re not thinking about — this is who you are.”
Ortal Harush (Hebrew University)-The study was conducted by Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Harush, Israel Antiquities Authority’s Avshalom Karasik and Weizmann Institute’s Uzy Smilansky. Titled “The Morphology of Iron Age Storage Jars and Its Relation to the Handbreadth Measure (Biblical Tefach),” it was recently published in BASOR, the Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research.Judean L’Melech jar. (Yael Yuluvitz/IAA)-Harush said that the comparison ceramic study began coincidentally as she and Karasik chatted and compared notes on what they were working on side by side in the lab. It turned out they were both studying Iron Age pottery: Karasik worked on royal Judah Kingdom storage jars (8-7th century BCE) and Harush on “hippo” jars from northern Israel (Israelite Kingdom, 9th century BCE). They quickly realized that of all the measurements, only the rim measurements were consistent between the two pottery assemblages.Under the direction of their supervisor, Smilansky, the pair looked at a third sample of Iron Age jars that was already in the database, an assemblage from Khirbet Qeiyafa (Judah Kingdom; early 10th century BCE). To their amazement they found the same consistent handbreadth measure.The team generated high precision 3D-digitized models of the 307 Iron Age jars, which all resulted in the same handbreadth measurement, regardless of the pots’ different production times, vessel shapes, volumes, and find locations.-The plot thickens-For a control group, the researchers randomly chose another assemblage that was already found in their database. They generated 3-D models of 259 Roman-era jars from Shuafat, near Jerusalem, and here — in a complete surprise to the scholars, said Harush — is where we see a shift in the potters’ gender balance.The Shuafat jars, dated to the 1st century CE, exhibit the same consistent use of a handbreadth measure — but this time the hands were much smaller, leading the team to conclude they were most likely of females, said Harush.The authors write, “Similar behavior was observed in the Roman ensemble, with one important difference — the observed distribution of the inner rim diameter is similar (but not identical) to the distribution of the handbreadth of the modern female.”Storage jars from Khirbet Qeiyafa (Clara Amit/IAA)Again, the team compared the measures with available US Army data. “Quantitatively, the mean handbreadth for female soldiers is 7.82 ± 0.39 cm and for the Shoafat group it is 7.87 ± 0.79,” they write.In the article and in a Hebrew University press release, efforts are made to tie the tefah measure of the pots to Jewish law dealing with purity and vessels. Harush said, measuredly, that it was perhaps one of the potters’ considerations in using the unit.“Maybe they have rules, but I don’t know. We know of purity and impurity laws in later periods,” she said, noting that at least some of these pots were produced prior to the First Temple. “The spiritual consideration is one of the considerations [for standardized production], but eventually they produced the storage jars to deliver goods and for taxes.”

Azeris use Israeli-made drones as conflict escalates with Armenia — report-As two countries fight for 4th day over separatist Nagorno-Karabakh region, assistant to the president of Azerbaijan lauds Israeli military technology-By TOI staff and AP-sep 30,20-Today, 6:20 pm

The Azeri military has been using Israeli-made attack drones during the recent uptick in violence with neighboring Armenia, Hikmet Hajiyev, assistant to the president of Azerbaijan, said in an interview with the Israeli Walla news outlet Wednesday.Heavy fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces over the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh continued for a fourth straight day on Wednesday, in the biggest escalation in years of a decades-old conflict that has killed dozens and left scores of others wounded.In the interview, Hajiyev said that his country has used Israeli drones, including loitering munitions, or “kamikaze drones,” in the recent round of fighting and lauded their effectiveness.“Hats off to the engineers who designed it,” Hajiyev said.He also said that the Azeris “very much appreciate the cooperation with Israel, especially the defense cooperation.”A view of an apartment building that was allegedly damaged by recent shelling during fighting over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh in Tartar region, Azerbaijan, Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2020. (AP Photo/Aziz Karimov)-Israel and Azerbaijan enjoy security and import agreements and it is speculated that Israel supplies 60 percent of the Azeri military’s armaments, while Azerbaijan supplies a large amount of natural fuel to the Jewish state.Asked if he was disappointed by the silence from Israel regarding the recent fighting, Hajiyev said unequivocally, “No, no, Israel and Azerbaijan understand our situation,” and cited the multiple agreements between the two nations.Asked about recent sightings of Azeri cargo planes that reportedly landed in Israeli military bases, and if Israel was supplying Azerbaijan with weapons for the current round of fighting, Hajiyev said he didn’t think so and brushed the question off, citing the defense agreements between the two nations, and noting that they are not a secret.Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry said Armenian forces started shelling the town of Tartar on Wednesday morning, damaging “civilian infrastructure” and wounding people, while Armenian military officials reported that Azerbaijani forces were bombing positions of the Nagorno-Karabakh army in the north of the war-torn region.Armenian officials alleged that Turkish drones and F-16 fighter jets were being used. Turkey has denied supplying Azerbaijan with arms, and Azerbaijan said it didn’t have any F-16 jets.The fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh erupted Sunday and has continued despite mounting calls for a ceasefire from around the globe.Nagorno-Karabakh lies within Azerbaijan but has been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by the Armenian government since 1994, at the end of a separatist war following the breakup of the Soviet Union three years earlier.The region in the Caucasus Mountains of about 4,400 square kilometers (1,700 square miles), or about the size of the US state of Delaware, is 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the Armenian border. Soldiers backed by Armenia also occupy some Azerbaijani territory outside the region.The conflict escalated on Tuesday, with Armenia alleging Turkish involvement and claiming that a Turkish F-16 fighter jet shot down an SU-25 from its air force in Armenian airspace, killing the pilot.In this image taken from video released by the Armenian Defense Ministry on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2020, Armenian solders guard their position in the self-proclaimed Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan. (Armenian Defense Ministry via AP)-Turkey, which has been vocal about siding with Azerbaijan in the dispute, denied those claims, and so did Azerbaijan.In the meantime, European officials are seeking to bring the opposing sides to the negotiating table.French President Emmanuel Macron, speaking on Wednesday at a news conference in Riga, Latvia, called for talks between France, Russia and the United States — the three countries co-chair the Minsk group, set up in 1992 by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to resolve the conflict — to mediate.“I will speak to President (Vladimir) Putin tonight and, I think, President (Donald) Trump tomorrow to discuss and propose an exit strategy” for the crisis, Marcon said.

IDF closes fighter jet squadron, ending 67 years of operations-Move comes as part of military’s Momentum Plan, meant to free up resources for more advanced aircraft; troops to be moved to other units-By Judah Ari Gross-sep 30,20-Today, 5:55 pm

The Israeli Air Force on Wednesday shuttered a squadron of fighter jets as part of the military’s Momentum Plan, in a bid to free up resources for more advanced aircraft going forward.Earlier this year, IAF commander Maj. Gen. Amikam Norkin picked the 117th First Jet Squadron, which currently flies F-16 jets out of northern Israel’s Ramat David airbase, for closure, ending the outfit’s 67 years of operation through all of the country’s wars but its first.“This is a historic day in the air force, which is closing one of the most active and operational squadrons in the force’s history today,” Norkin said at the closing ceremony.“The ‘First Jet’ Squadron and its operations are an inseparable part of the history of the air force,” he said.Illustrative. F-16 fighter jets from the Israeli Air Force’s 117th Squadron, which was closed on September 30, 2020, fly during an exercise in an undated photograph. (Israel Defense Forces)-In February, with the release of details of the Momentum Plan, the military announced that it would be closing two air force squadrons, as well as an armored brigade.According to the Israel Defense Forces, the 117th Squadron continued training and conducting operations until “the day of its closure” on Wednesday.The military added that all the soldiers and officers in the squadron will continue serving in the air force.According to the military, one of the reasons to close the F-16 squadron was to free up resources for new fifth-generation planes, namely the F-35 stealth fighter jet, which Israel purchased from the United States.The Israeli Air Force will continue to operate at least eight other F-16 squadrons.The 117th Squadron was formed in 1953, taking part in every war in the country’s history since then, as well as a number of major operations, including the 1981 strike on Iraq’s nascent nuclear reactor, known as Operation Opera.Initially, the unit flew the British-made Gloster Meteor — the Israeli military’s first jet aircraft — and then moved to operate the French Dassault Mirage III, until Israel received the F-16 in the late 1970s.Israeli Air Force chief Amikam Norkin, left, looks at an F-16 fighter jet that will take part in an exercise in Germany in an undated photograph. (Israel Defense Forces)-“The squadron was the first in the world to shoot down an enemy plane with an F-16 [in 1981], and the first in the world to shoot down a MiG-23 [in 1982],” the army said.Earlier this year, the IDF began rolling out its five-year Momentum Plan, which is meant to make the military better equipped to operate in the types of operations that it is expected to face in the coming years.The guiding principle of the plan is to take full advantage of the areas in which the IDF has superiority over its enemies — air power, intelligence and technology — in order to ensure the military maintains a constant and significant edge over its foes, notably Iran and Hezbollah.Though some aspects of the plan require only internal restructuring and reallocation of existing resources, many of its key parts — namely the acquisition of new missiles, drones, armored vehicles, air defense batteries, helicopters and ships — are expected to be very expensive, which will be difficult to accomplish in light of the financial crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Columbia students pass university’s first-ever Israel boycott referendum-Vote follows a federal complaint filed in December 2019 accusing the school of anti-Semitic discrimination-By Hannah Dreyfus-sep 30,20-Today, 5:54 pm

NY Jewish Week via JTA — Students at Columbia University have passed a first-ever referendum to boycott and divest from companies that “profit from or engage in the State of Israel’s acts towards Palestinians.”The news was released to the Columbia student body via email Tuesday morning, the day after the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. According to the vote results shared with The Jewish Week, 61% of undergraduates who weighed in (1,081 votes) voted in favor of the referendum, 27% (485 votes) voted against it, and 11% (205 votes) abstained.The referendum does not affect the university’s investments. Columbia University president Lee Bollinger released a statement Tuesday morning emphasizing that the university “should not change its investment policies on the basis of particular views about a complex policy issue, especially when there is no consensus across the University community about that issue.”

Bollinger, who earlier this year published a statement tying the movement to boycott Israel to the current rise in anti-Semitism, clarified that “questions about possible divestment of endowment funds are not decided by referendum” but rather through a process involving the university’s advisory committee.Protesters outside the main gates of Columbia in New York City call on the university administration to do more to protect pro-Israel students, October 4, 2018. (Ben Sales)-Still, the student leader of an Israel advocacy group said the vote, which represents the first time the Columbia College student council passed the referendum and brought the vote to the student body, represents a “symbolic loss” for pro-Israel students.“After everything that was done to pass this referendum, the president immediately came out with a statement that the university has zero plans to divest,” said Romy Ronen, a junior in the joint degree program of the Jewish Theological Seminary and Columbia University and the vice president of Students Support Israel on campus.(Ronen, 20, was not allowed to participate in the vote because she is not officially an undergraduate at Columbia; students of Barnard College, the women’s college that operates in partnership with Columbia, were similarly not allowed to participate in the vote.)“Still, what the vote has accomplished is making the majority of pro-Israel students on campus feel unsafe, victimized and disappointed,” said Ronen. “It makes it feel normalized to boycott and divest from the only Jewish state, a place a lot of us call home.”Members of Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a collaborative student group that includes Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and Columbia/Barnard Jewish Voice for Peace, did not respond to a request for comment.The group posted an announcement with the voting results on its Facebook page Tuesday morning, shortly after the results were released.“We are so excited to announce that our divestment referendum has passed with majority student support at Columbia College! Thank you for your support and for voting, we couldn’t have done it without you! Full statement coming soon,” reads the post.The referendum follows several previous attempts by Palestinian groups on campus to bring a BDS vote to the student body.Anti-Israel students at Columbia University erect a mock ‘apartheid wall’ in front of the iconic Low Library steps during Israel Apartheid Week, March 3, 2016. (Uriel Heilman)-An advertisement encouraging Columbia students to “vote no” to the BDS referendum ran September 20 in the Columbia Daily Spectator, a week before the vote. The advertisement, sponsored by Students Support Israel, said, “Vote NO to hate! Vote NO to keep Jewish student safe on campus.”Hours after publication, the Daily Spectator published an apology for running the advertisement. The apology was signed by the publication’s editor-in-chief Karen Xia, managing editor Shubham Saharan and vice president Isabel Jauregui.“The message, which referenced the Columbia University Apartheid Divest referendum, was clearly inappropriate and did not meet our standards for distribution,” the statement said. “We deeply apologize for giving this advertisement space on our platform and are immediately reviewing our internal processes to ensure that publication of such material will never happen again. Neither The Columbia Spectator nor Spectator Publishing Company endorses Students Supporting Israel and Columbia or its products, services or views.”The referendum vote follows a federal complaint filed in December 2019 against Columbia University accusing the school of anti-Semitic discrimination. The case was the first filed since US President Donald Trump’s executive order on combating anti-Semitism, which grants Jewish students the same protections as other minority groups.In the complaint, student Jonathan Karten alleges “pervasive and ongoing” discrimination against Jewish students by other students and faculty at the school.

The UN’s nuclear watchdog said Wednesday it had gained access to a second site in Iran where undeclared nuclear activity may have take place in the early 2000s.“As part of an agreement with Iran to resolve safeguards implementation issues specified by the IAEA, the agency this week conducted a complementary access at the second location in the country and took environmental samples,” the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a statement.Late last month Iran announced it would allow the IAEA access to two sites — their exact locations have not been made public — following a visit to Tehran by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.Iran agreed to grant access to both sites on specific dates this month, Reuters reported.The first site was visited by inspectors in early September.Iran had denied the agency access to the locations earlier this year, prompting the IAEA’s board of governors to pass a resolution in June urging Iran to comply with its requests.The row had threatened to put yet more strain on the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which has hung by a thread since the United States pulled out of it in 2018.The IAEA in March identified the two sites as places where Iran may have stored and/or used undeclared nuclear material or undertaken nuclear-related activities without declaring them to international observers.One of the sites was reported to be in Abadeh, south of Isfahan — a location that in September 2019 was flagged by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the site of an alleged secret nuclear facility.Netanyahu said at the time that Iran had tried to destroy the site and any evidence it had been used to develop nuclear weapons.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealing what he says is a nuclear weapons development site in Abadeh, Iran, at the Prime Ministers Office, on September 9, 2019. (Screenshot: YouTube)-At a press conference on September 14, IAEA director Grossi said analyzing environmental samples collected at the first site would take “not less than a couple of months, two or three months maybe.”That means the results will only be available after the coming US presidential elections, in which US President Donald Trump is hoping to win a second term in office.The ultimate goal of the 2015 deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, is to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, which Iran insists it does not want to do.Since Trump pulled the US unilaterally out of the pact in 2018, Iran has steadily been violating restrictions on the amount of uranium it can enrich and the purity it is allowed to enrich to, and other limits.But one reason the other countries involved — Germany, France, Britain, China and Russia — say that it’s important to maintain the agreement is for the access IAEA inspectors continue to get to Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Paris meat cleaver attacker charged with attempted terrorist killings-Suspect in attack near former Charlie Hebdo offices named as Pakistan-born Zaheer Hassan Mehmood, 25; he admits to initially lying about his identity-By AFP    -sep 30,20-Today, 3:22 pm

PARIS, France — A man who wounded two people in a meat cleaver attack in Paris last week has been charged with “attempted murder with relation to a terrorist enterprise,” French anti-terrorist prosecutors told AFP on Tuesday.A judge also placed the man — who has identified himself as 25-year-old Pakistani-born Zaheer Hassan Mehmood — under judicial investigation for criminal association with terrorists, the prosecuting authority PNAT said, adding that a request had been made for him to be remanded in custody.Earlier, the suspect admitted he lied to police when he said he was 18 and had entered the country as a minor, the lead prosecutor in the case said.The assailant in what the French government has called an act of Islamist terrorism had initially identified himself as Hassan A., an 18-year-old born in the Pakistani town of Mandi Bahauddin. He entered France in 2018 under the false identity that gave him access to social security aid for minors, national anti-terror prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard told a news conference.After the attack last Friday, investigators became suspicious about his claims when they found a photo of an identity document on his phone that appeared to suggest he was actually called Zaheer Hassan Mehmood, aged 25.“He eventually admitted that this was his true identity and that he was 25 years old,” Ricard said.This grab taken from a video obtained by AFP shows French police detaining an alleged suspect after several people were injured near the former offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo following an attack by a man wielding a knife in Paris on September 25, 2020 (Laura CAMBAUD / AFP)It was under that identity that he appeared in a video filmed before the attack, in which he said he was avenging the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad by the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo.The magazine was the scene of a massacre by Islamist gunmen in January 2015, and the trial of 14 alleged accomplices in that attack is currently underway in Paris.The attacker seriously wounded two employees of a TV production agency whose offices are on the same block that used to house Charlie Hebdo. They are now in stable condition, officials said.He told investigators he thought he was targeting employees of Charlie Hebdo but did not realize they had since moved to a new location that is kept secret because of security risks.Ricard said the attacker had never attracted the attention of any government intelligence agency before Friday’s assault.

Gazans left stranded abroad due to PA decision to cut ties with Israel-‘This is a humanitarian situation. The political situation shouldn’t enter into it,’ says one Gazan stuck in Amman; Palestinians say more than 30,000 newborns left unregistered-By Agencies and TOI staff-sep 30,20-Today, 12:22 pm

For the last four months, Ahmed al-Kurdi, his wife and three children have been stranded in Jordan, where they traveled from their home in the Gaza Strip for life-saving medical treatment for his 2-year-old daughter.At a time when the coronavirus pandemic has led to border closures and travel restrictions, they find themselves stuck, not because of quarantine measures, but because of a dispute between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.They need an Israeli permit to return to Gaza through the West Bank and Israel, which would normally be facilitated by the PA’s civil affairs division. But the Palestinians officially cut off all ties with Israel in May to protest Israel’s plans — since suspended — to annex parts of the West Bank, making it even more complicated to get permission to travel.The Palestinians had hoped to pressure Israel by forcing it to assume more of the burden of its half-century military rule of the territory. Instead, the decision has mainly hurt ordinary Palestinians.Al-Kurdi and his wife, who left Gaza with their children last December, have been on unpaid leave, relying on relatives to pay rent and support them in Amman, Jordan’s capital, where prices are much higher than in Gaza. They are among dozens of families who left Gaza for health or other reasons and cannot return.They applied for a permit through the PA embassy in Amman but were told it is no longer in contact with Israel.“It’s very hard, not just for us but for the other Gazans in Jordan who want to go back and can’t,” he said. “This is a humanitarian situation. The political situation shouldn’t enter into it.”Gaza has been under an Israeli-Egyptian blockade since the Islamic terror group Hamas seized power from PA security forces in 2007 in a bloody coup. Israel allows Gazans to travel for humanitarian reasons but requires them to coordinate requests through the Western-backed Palestinian Authority, which governs parts of the West Bank.Hamas security officers stand guard the gate of the border to the Egyptian side of Rafah crossing, in Rafah, Gaza Strip, August 11, 2020 (AP Photo/Adel Hana)-Gisha, an Israeli group that advocates for Palestinian freedom of movement, has been able to help some families obtain permits outside the normal channels. But it claims Israel is ultimately responsible for allowing Gazans to return home.“Israel’s ongoing control over Gaza comes with legal obligations to uphold the rights of Gaza residents, including to freedom of movement,” it said in a statement. “Returning to one’s home is a fundamental human right that cannot be withheld using procedural excuses.”The Israeli military body that oversees Palestinian civilian affairs, known as COGAT, said that under past agreements the PA must submit requests for residents to enter Israel through the established channels. COGAT said it is prepared to process such requests but has not received any from the PA since it cut off contact.COGAT “is constantly working, together with the appropriate offices — despite the suspension of coordination by the Civil Committee, and despite the outbreak of the coronavirus — to provide the best possible response to the various humanitarian needs of the Gaza Strip residents,” it said in a statement.In theory, Palestinians have the option of bypassing Israel altogether and entering Gaza through the Rafah crossing with Egypt. But Egypt only opens the crossing sporadically, and getting there requires flying to Cairo and then traveling overland across the northern Sinai Peninsula, where Egyptian troops are battling insurgents from an Islamic State affiliate.The al-Kurdi family departed through Rafah after several delays in getting an exit permit from Israel, which was ultimately granted. But that was late last year, before the pandemic.“My daughter’s condition does not allow us to travel by way of Rafah. You have to take a car from Cairo and it can take 11 hours with all the checkpoints,” al-Kurdi said. “My daughter is immunocompromised.”Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas during a meeting to discuss the United Arab Emirates’ deal with Israel to normalize relations, in the West Bank city of Ramallah, August 18, 2020. (Mohamad Torokman/Pool Photo via AP, File)-The PA decision to cut ties with Israel has affected ordinary Palestinians in other ways.The PA is refusing to accept tax and customs duties Israel collects on its behalf, forcing it to slash the salaries of civil servants.The boycott has also affected the registration of Palestinian births, leaving more than 30,000 babies unregistered.Under agreements reached in the 1990s, during the now-moribund peace process, the Palestinian Authority issues birth certificates and passports. But these must be registered with Israel, which controls all access to the West Bank. The unregistered babies are therefore unable to travel.Palestinian Authority Deputy Interior Minister Yousef Harb says more than 33,000 babies have been born in the West Bank since the Palestinians cut ties on May 19, and at least six families have been unable to travel abroad for work because they can’t bring their babies with them.“The entire world recognizes the documents issued by PA, except for Israel,” he said.Palestinian officials say they have reached out to international organizations to facilitate travel but that Israel insists on direct coordination.Senior PLO official Ahmed Majdalani. (YouTube screen capture)-Why on earth should we give our citizen records to Israel? The entire world recognizes us, why don’t they?” said Ahmad Majdalani, a senior PA official.The Palestinian Authority appears to be in a holding pattern, hoping a new US administration will discard President Donald Trump’s Middle East peace plan, which it perceives as strongly favoring Israel and would have allowed Israel to annex up to 30 percent of the West Bank (though Israel subsequently shelved annexation plans in exchange for the normalization of ties with the United Arab Emirates).In the meantime, Palestinians stranded outside the country are stuck in limbo.Dr. Mohammed Ayesh left Gaza in the summer of 2019 to do a medical specialization in Ukraine. After he completed his course his student visa expired, but he was unable to return via Jordan because he cannot get an Israeli permit. Instead, he flew to Dubai, where he has been stranded for more than two months. He hasn’t seen his three children in more than a year.“Their birthdays are all in the summer, in June, August and September… I missed them all,” he said. “My daughter calls me a liar. She says you promised you would return before I went back to school and you aren’t here.”As a highly trained physician, he could find lucrative work in the United Arab Emirates, far from the crippling conditions of the Gaza blockade. But he’s homesick.“People ask me why I can’t return, if it’s because of the coronavirus, and I say no, it’s because of the Israeli military and the Israeli government,” he said, placing the blame on the Jewish state rather than the PA. “They won’t let me come back.”

UAE announces candidacy for UN Security Council seat-Emiratis seeking non-permanent representation for 2022-2023; election will be held in June-By AFP-sep 30,20-Today, 12:13 pm

DUBAI — The United Arab Emirates has announced its candidacy for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the 2022-2023 term, state media said.In June 2021, the UN General Assembly will elect five member states to serve on the Security Council, which has a total of 10 non-permanent members who serve overlapping two-year terms.“My country will follow the same steps and principles upon which it was founded to maintain international peace and security in cooperation with the members of the Council,” Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan said in New York.“We affirm that the UAE will work towards solving the important issues confronting states with resolve and determination,” he said, according to a report on official Emirati news agency WAM on Tuesday.The UAE’s role on the global diplomatic stage has been heightened in recent months with its announcement of normalized relations with Israel, a major policy shift that was also adopted by neighboring Bahrain.In this September 15, 2020 photo, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, left, US President Donald Trump, Bahrain Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa and United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan pose for a photo on the Blue Room Balcony after signing the Abraham Accords during a ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)-The US-brokered accord takes in four countries that share a common hostility to Iran, which Washington has put under crippling economic and diplomatic pressure.WAM said that the UAE’s campaign for the seat would focus on “efforts to advance inclusion, spur innovation, build resilience and secure peace.”It last served on the Security Council in 1986-1987.Five nations — Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States — hold permanent seats on the world body’s most powerful institution, which give them the right to veto draft resolutions.

University of Illinois students pass resolution urging divestment from Israel-Nonbinding BDS move was bundled with vote in support of Black Lives Matter movement; Jewish student group slams ‘attempt to paint Israel and Jews as the obstacle to racial equity’
By Marcy Oster-sep 30,20-Today, 10:55 am
 
JTA — The University of Illinois student government included a call for divestment from companies that do business with Israel as part of a resolution in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.The university’s Office of Student Affairs condemned the nonbinding resolution, which passed last week in a 22-11 vote with seven abstentions.“It is unfortunate that a resolution before the group tonight was designed to force students who oppose efforts to divest from Israel to also vote against support for the Black Lives Matter movement,” the Office of Student Affairs said in a statement signed by Chancellor Robert Jones and five vice chancellors.“This resolution includes several points on which we can agree, but a foundational value of this institution is inclusion, and this resolution includes language that we cannot and will not support,” the statement continued.In February, the student government passed a resolution by a vote of 20-9 with seven abstentions that called on the university to divest from “companies that profit from human-rights violations in Palestine and other communities globally,” naming three companies in particular: Raytheon, Elbit Systems Ltd. and Northrup Grumman. But a week later the body’s president vetoed the resolution, saying its passage “made students feel unsafe and have fostered a climate of hate on this campus.”The February vote was the fifth attempt in as many years to pass a BDS resolution against Israel.“After five failed attempts in as many years to pass BDS, student activists enshrouded calls for divestment within a resolution opposing anti-Black violence,” the Illini Hillel at Cohen Center for Jewish Life said Thursday in a statement on Facebook. “This was an attempt to paint Israel and Jews as the obstacle to racial equity, amidst the holiest time in the Jewish calendar.“The Jewish students refused to submit to this anti-Semitic litmus test. Instead they issued a joint statement of principles declaring their steadfast commitment to Zionism and racial justice. During the ISG meeting Senators made clear that they are driven by their Jewish values which call for social, racial and environmental justice.”Jewish students read the statement into the record during the student government meeting.

Scandinavian neo-Nazis circulate anti-Semitic flyers on Yom Kippur-Far-right extremists carried out coordinated campaign in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland on Jewish holy day, says World Jewish Congress-By Cnaan Liphshiz-sep 30,20-Today, 10:38 am

JTA — Several incidents involving anti-Semitic hate speech occurred in Scandinavia in what the World Jewish Congress said was a coordinated campaign by neo-Nazis on Yom Kippur.Most of the incidents recorded on Sunday and Monday in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland involved the circulation of anti-Semitic pamphlets, sometimes in the form of small posters near Jewish community buildings. There was no violence in any of the incidents.In Norrköping, a city located about 70 miles southwest of the Swedish capital of Stockholm, a handful of men from the Nordic Resistance Movement stood outside the local synagogue on Monday, which was Yom Kippur, with flags of their movement, the Jewish Central Council wrote in a statement. The synagogue was empty at the time.“The Jews circumcise their babies so rabbis can suck blood from the penises of newborns and according to the Talmud they may have sex with children from the age of 3,” one of the posters seen at that demonstration said.The World Jewish Congress in a statement said the effort was “a string of coordinated actions on Yom Kippur targeting Jews” called on the nations to follow Finland’s example from earlier this year “and move swiftly to ban the Nordic Resistance Movement and rid its violent propaganda from our streets.”

U.S.Father, son from U.S. charged with joining Islamic State-[Associated Press]-September 30, 2020

MIAMI (AP) — A father and son accused of traveling from the U.S. to Syria and joining the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham are facing terrorism charges in South Florida, prosecutors said.Emraan Ali, 53, a U.S. citizen born in Trinidad & Tobago, and Jihad Ali, 19, a U.S. citizen born in New York, made their initial court appearances Wednesday in Miami federal court, according to records. The father is charged with providing and attempting to provide material support to ISIS, and the son is charged with conspiracy to provide material support to ISIS.According to criminal complaints, Emraan Ali took his family to Syria to join the Islamic State group in March 2015. Both Emraan Ali and Jihad Ali received military and religious training and served as fighters in support of the terrorist organization, prosecutors said.The father and son surrendered to Syrian Democratic Forces near Baghuz in March 2019, during the last sustained Islamic State battles to maintain territory in Syria, officials said. They were recently transferred to FBI custody and returned to the U.S.Online court records didn't list attorneys for the men.

Sadly, it’s not a joke: Cuba, China, Russia about to join U.N. Human Rights Council | Opinion-[Miami Herald]-Andres Oppenheimer-September 30, 2020

It sounds totally insane, but the ongoing session of the United Nations General Assembly is about to elect Cuba, Russia and China to the U.N. Human Rights Council, the U.N.’s top human-rights body.Just as crazy, the Council is expected to keep Venezuela as one of its 47 member countries, despite recent devastating findings by U.N. entities accusing President Nicolas Maduro’s dictatorship of being responsible for thousands of state-sponsored killings and the systematic torture of political prisoners.You might not hear much about the voting for new Council member countries in the media. It’s drawing little attention amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. presidential race and other major new from around the world.But make no mistake — it’s a big deal.If Cuba, Russia and China win their seats, they will have a better-than-usual chance to kill future U.N. human-rights investigations. They would turn the Council into a virtual mutual protection society for some of the world’s worst dictatorships, more so than it is already.Voting to fill 15 of the Council’s 47 seats is scheduled to take place Oct. 13 at the U.N. General Assembly. The candidates already have been chosen by the U.N.’s regional blocs, which each elect a predetermined number of candidates.“Cuba and Russia are running unopposed, so it’s looking very likely that they will be joining the Council,” Louis Charbonneau, the Human Rights Watch advocacy group’s U.N. affairs expert, told me. “It also looks very likely that either China or Saudi Arabia, or both, will be elected for their regional bloc.”How is this possible? Simple: Most democracies that are not potential subjects of human-rights probes spend their diplomatic energies at the United Nations to winning seats on commissions that can help them advance their economic interests. Dictatorships, on the other hand, go out of their way to win seats at the Human Rights Council, so that they can fend off probes into their own abuses.The Trump administration, in protest, withdrew from the U.N. Human Rights Council in 2018. While the administration was right in denouncing the Council’s hypocrisy, withdrawing from the Council ended up reducing America’s influence on it, making it easier for it to elect more authoritarian regimes.Putting Cuba, Russia, China and Saudi Arabia on the Council could make it more difficult for other U.N. human-rights bodies to continue their investigations into massive abuses by the Maduro dictatorship in Venezuela, advocates say.On Sept. 16, a U.N. mission created last year by the Council to investigate the human-rights situation in Venezuela issued a stunning 411-page report, concluding that the Maduro regime is responsible for “arbitrary killings and the systematic use of torture” that “amount to crimes against humanity.”Last year, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet released a report saying that Maduro’s death squads were responsible for more than 6,700 extrajudicial killings just between January 2018 and May 2019.Asked what can be done to stop the likely election of such authoritarian regimes to Council seats, Hillel Neuer, head of the Geneva-based U.N. Watch advocacy group, told me that Cuba’s election to the Council could be thwarted if a democracy such as Costa Rica presented its candidacy before the Oct. 13 vote.“There’s still time to do it,” Neuer said, recalling that Costa Rica jumped into the race last year in an ultimately unsuccessful effort to thwart Venezuela’s election to the Council. “But it doesn’t look like it’s happening.”My guess is that the election of Cuba, Russia and China to the Council is a done deal. The least democracies around the world can do now is to publicly condemn the United Nations for this travesty.It not only violates the U.N.’s own norms, which call for taking a country’s human-rights records into consideration before adding it to the Human Rights Council, it’s also an insult to everything the international body stands for.Shame on the United Nations for this insanity. And shame on all the countries that continue to remain silent about it.Don’t miss the “Oppenheimer Presenta” TV show at 8 p.m. E.T. Sunday on CNN en Español. Twitter: @oppenheimera

Analysis-After years of bashing Israel at UN, UAE and Bahrain dramatically soften tone-What a difference a year makes: At 2019 General Assembly, the 2 Gulf states condemned alleged violations against the Palestinians. This time, they hailed their accords with Israel-By Raphael Ahren-sep 30,20-Today, 10:26 am

Old habits die hard. But sometimes they do die, and this year’s session of the United Nations General Assembly showed that, with strong political will and the right set of circumstances, it’s possible to kick even a deeply entrenched diplomatic convention.For decades, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have used the UN stage to relentlessly bash Israel and champion the Palestinian cause. Even in recent years, every speech in Turtle Bay featured a condemnation of the Jewish state and the assertion that regional stability will remain elusive until the creation of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 lines.In 2010, for instance, UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan dedicated a whopping 563 words to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His country believes peace between the two parties is “central and vital” to the entire region, he said.And this cannot be realized without ending the Israeli occupation of the Occupied Palestinian and other Arab Territories and its withdrawal to the line of 4 June 1967, including East Jerusalem, the Syrian Golan Heights and the remaining occupied territories in Southern Lebanon.”Abu Dhabi stands by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and commends him for his efforts to restore the rights of his people, Al Nahyan went on.“Our commitment to the achievement of peace as a strategic choice makes it imperative for us to condemn the Israeli practices committed against the Palestinian people, including the collective punishment policy and the inhumane blockade imposed on the Palestinian people in Gaza, and its flagrant violations to international law, principles and purposes of the UN Charter and international humanitarian law,” he declared.“In this context, we emphasize that the continuation of Israeli settlements and confiscation and judaization of the occupied Palestinian and other Arab territories clashes with the pursuit of peace,” the minister went on. “Either choose to pursue peace or insist on continuing the settlements. Combining the two is incompatible with peace.”We emphasize that the continuation of Israeli settlements and confiscation and judaization of the occupied Palestinian and other Arab territories clashes with the pursuit of peace-He also called for an end to Israel’s “atrocious blockade” on Gaza and condemned the “Israeli aggression” against the Mavi Marmara, a ship that tried to break the naval blockade of Gaza. (Earlier that year, Israeli commandos had boarded the vessel and, coming under violent attack by Turkish activists armed with clubs and metal bars, killed 10 of them.)-That speech was delivered a long time ago. But even half a decade later, in 2015, the same Abdullah Bin Zayed — known as ABZ — told the General Assembly that the Palestinian issue “remains at the core of conflict in our region, and one of the main threats to its security and stability.”The “feelings of injustice and frustration resulting from the continued Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories and the flagrant human rights violations committed by the occupation forces, provide extremist groups with an opportunity to exploit these serious humanitarian conditions and to spread their radical thinking and incite frustrated youth to implement their destructive agenda,” he said at the time.-UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan getting ready to address the UN General Assembly, September 22, 2017 (Aliza Eliazarov/UN Photo)(Cia Pak/UN Photo)-In last year’s speech, he declared once more that the Palestinian plight remains the “central issue” of the Arab world.“Stability cannot be established in our region without reaching a just, lasting, and comprehensive solution that enables the Palestinian people to establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital,” he said at the 2019 General Assembly.“The violations committed by the occupying power against the Palestinians, including the creation of new ‘facts on the ground’ in Jerusalem, will enable extremist groups to exploit the suffering of the Palestinian people.”What a difference a year makes.

(SAUL LOEB / AFP)-Israel is still an “occupying power” and no Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital has come into being, but ABZ sounded very different on Tuesday — exactly two weeks after he signed the Israel-UAE peace agreement at the White House — when he delivered his (pre-recorded) statement at the UN.“The call for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with the relevant international resolutions and the Arab and international consensus, will remain a firm demand,” he said.“My country has made persistent efforts using all available diplomatic channels to affirm our total rejection of the annexation of Palestinian territory, and we have warned of its impact on all parties and on the security of the region.”UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan addressing the UN General Assembly, September 29, 2020 (screen grab)-The “historic peace accord with Israel,” he continued, opened “broad prospects to achieve a comprehensive peace in the region. We hope this peace accord will provide the opportunity for the Palestinians and the Israelis to re-engage in negotiations to achieve peace.”In other words: We’re still in favor of a two-state solution, in principle, but temporarily halting Israel’s plan to unilaterally annex parts of the West Bank is enough for us right now. No word on Israeli violations. No mention of any occupation. Condemning settlement expansions? Lamenting Palestinian suffering? Bewailing the judaization of occupied Arab lands? Not anymore.‘Israel’s provocative acts enrage Muslims all over the world’Bahrain, too, has changed its tune quite dramatically in light of the Abraham Accords.We look forward to a halt to the oppression of Palestinians, the lifting of the blockade on Gaza and an end to the building of settlements so as to provide an environment conducive to the success of these solutions,” then-foreign minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa told the General Assembly in 2013. Israel should halt its repeated aggressions and provocative acts that enrage Muslims all over the world and impede the resumption of the peace process-He also expressed his “full support” of Abbas. “He is one of the best leaders ever produced by Palestine, and deserves our support in each step he undertakes toward the attainment of the desired peace.”Four years later, Al Khalifa reiterated that the Palestinian questions tops Bahrain’s foreign policy priorities. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he said, is “an issue of territorial occupation that must end.”“Rights confiscated must be returned to their owners and this precisely is what Israel, notwithstanding all its security concerns, should understand, for it will achieve peace for its people, and for itself, only when it abandons all forms of violence against Palestinians.”Bahraini FM Khalid Bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa addresses the UN General Assembly at UN Headquarters in New York, September 28, 2007 (Marco Castro/UN Photo)-Jerusalem, he added, should halt its settlement activities and “stop violating the sanctity of religious sites, especially what is happening in [Jerusalem’s] al-Aqsa mosque in the form of repeated aggressions and provocative acts that enrage Muslims all over the world and impede the resumption of the peace process and all supporting regional and international initiatives.”And at last year’s General Assembly, which took place after Bahrain hosted the rollout of the first part of the US administration’s two-pronged Mideast peace plan, Al Khalifa said the international community must force Israel “to stop its unjust annexation policies and violations of international law, which hinder all efforts aimed at reaching a just and sustainable solution to the Palestinian issue.”On Wednesday, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, in his recorded speech to the UN,  called for “intensified efforts to end the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in accordance with the two-state solution” and urged the establishment of a Palestinian state on the 1967-lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.But he refrained from any attacks on Israel. Rather, he hailed his country’s normalization of ties with Israel as an “embodiment of our resolute approach to openness and coexistence with all.”

Jerusalem: He steered Kuwait 'to modernity and stability' Death of Kuwait ruler draws outpouring of tributes, from Israel to Iran-Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah’s demise elicits condolences from across a divided Middle East, where he is hailed as a bridge-builder-By AP and TOI staff-sep 30,20-Today, 8:45 am

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates  — The death of Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, the leader of Kuwait who earned a reputation as a seasoned diplomat and a rare ruler who could cross the region’s political and sectarian divides, touched off an outpouring of grief from the Arab world Tuesday.As news of his death broke, condolence messages streamed in from across the region, including Israel, and from Western countries with longstanding ties to Kuwait, including the US and Britain. Several Arab governments declared days of mourning and lowered their flags to half-staff in his honor.As a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council, a regional body of Arab Gulf states, Kuwait has often charted its own course, pushing for diplomacy to resolve a bitter dispute between Qatar and other Arab states that continues to this day. Diplomats around the world eulogized Sheikh Sabah as an expert statesman who navigated regional feuds and provided humanitarian aid in times of crisis.Sheikh Sabah “was an extraordinary symbol of wisdom and generosity, a messenger of peace, a bridge-builder,” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.From the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan offered an admiring tribute, describing the late emir as “a great pioneer in Gulf cooperation.”In Saudi Arabia, one of Kuwait’s closest allies, Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said Sheikh Sabah “devoted his life to the service of his country and to Arab and Islamic nations,” a sentiment echoed by Bahrain, another close regional partner.Illustrative: A picture of Kuwait’s ruling emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, is displayed with surrounding Kuwaiti flags in Kuwait City, on February 14, 2018. (AP Photo/Jon Gambrell/File)-Such was Sheikh Sabah’s status that condolences poured in from Qatar and Iran, locked in long-running rivalries with Kuwait’s key Gulf allies, as well as from Israel, underscoring his reputation as a source of stability in a turbulent region.The emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, referred to Sheikh Sabah as the “father of all.”“With his departure, the world has lost a beacon and symbol of humanity,” he wrote.File: Kuwait’s emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, right, shakes hands with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani during a reception ceremony at the Saadabad Palace in Tehran, Iran, June 1, 2014 (AP/Ebrahim Noroozi, File)-Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif of Iran wrote on Twitter that he was “pained” by the loss of Sheikh Sabah, who “painted an image of moderation and balance, for Kuwait and for the region.”The Israeli Foreign Ministry lauded Sheikh Sabah for steering Kuwait “to modernity and stability.”Kuwaiti officials have recently rejected the possibility of normalizing ties with Israel, following the accords signed between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. Earlier this month, US President Donald Trump predicted Kuwait would forge ties with Israel in the near future.Yemen’s Shiite Houthi rebels, who are battling a Saudi-led military coalition for control of the country, said they appreciated the late emir’s support of peace-making efforts.US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called Sheikh Sabah “central to building peace and prosperity in the Gulf region,” noting that his “humanitarianism and global leadership shaped Kuwait into a prosperous modern state.” From Britain, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Sheikh Sabah “made a personal contribution to regional stability and humanitarian assistance which will long be remembered.”“I sincerely hope the long and deep ties that unite our countries will continue,” he added.In September Trump awarded the Legion of Merit on Al Sabah, who played a central role in resolving a yearslong four-nation boycott of Qatar.In Lebanon, where the late Kuwaiti leader played a key role in trying to end the country’s ruinous 1975-90 civil war and later helped with its reconstruction, President Michel Aoun said his country had “lost a great brother who stood by the Lebanese during the difficult circumstances over the past years.”US President Donald Trumpm right, and Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah take part in a bilateral meeting at a hotel in Riyadh, May 21, 2017. (AFP/MANDEL NGAN)-Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi praised the late emir’s long-standing “fraternal stance” toward Egypt, while Jordan’s royal court announced a 40-day mourning period nationwide.In Iraq, Kuwait’s northern neighbor, Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi recalled Sheikh Sabah as one of the first leaders to support Iraqi state-building efforts after the 2003 US-led invasion that toppled the regime of Saddam Hussein, and later in fighting the Islamic State group.Veteran UN diplomat Lakhdar Brahimi cited the friendly present-day relations between Kuwait and Iraq as proof of the late emir’s “wisdom and farsightedness” three decades after the Gulf War.s Kuwait’s Cabinet announced that Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah would take the reins of power, many expressed hope that the tiny oil-rich country would follow the peacemaking path set by Sheikh Sabah.“The role that Kuwait traditionally plays in the Middle East as a bridge-builder is needed today more than ever,” said Ban Ki-moon, former UN secretary-general and deputy chair of The Elders, a group of world leaders.

Opposition MK calls for recount of coronavirus deaths, claims figure inflated-Yoel Razvozov says officials are causing panic by including in toll many who died of other causes; senior Health Ministry official rejects accusation-By TOI staff-sep 9,20-Today, 2:30 pm

An opposition lawmaker called Wednesday for a recount of coronavirus fatalities, claiming Health Ministry guidelines for registering deaths were including many who may have died of other causes, inflating the toll, panicking the public and pushing decision-makers to apply lockdown measures.A senior Health Ministry official rejected the claim and stressed that officials have no interest in alarming the public.Yesh-Atid Telem party MK Yoel Razvozov, who sits on the Knesset Coronavirus Committee that is overseeing the government response to the outbreak, sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming the official mortality figures for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, could be off by as much as 30 percent.Razvozov wrote that earlier in the week that the Knesset committee was told that under Health Ministry instructions, the primary cause of death is registered as COVID-19 for anyone who dies in the hospital of any ailment, but who is also infected with the coronavirus.“These worrying findings cast doubt on the entire method used by hospitals to register the number of people who die of the coronavirus in Israel,” he warned.Describing the tally method as “outrageous,” Razvozov said it “directly influences government decision-making that is bringing us time and again to lockdowns and the destruction of the Israeli economy.”“The current conduct is very destructive, leads to unnecessary panic in the public and harms the country in a wide range of areas,” Razvozov said, urging that the mortality numbers be checked.In response, the head of public health at the Health Ministry, Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, told the Kan public broadcaster that “it makes me angry that someone is trying to paint the Health Ministry as an entity that inflates the mortality rates.”Sharon Alroy-Preis. (Courtesy)“It is simply incorrect,” Alroy-Preis said. “I, the director-general, and the minister do not have an interest in alarming the public. The opposite is true.”Israel over the weekend passed the grim milestone of 1,000 dead.The Knesset Coronavirus Committee, though chaired by MK Yifat Shasha-Biton of Netanyahu’s Likud party, has in the past clashed with the government over its virus campaign, overturning restrictions ordered by the cabinet.Last month the Health Ministry admitted to undercounting COVID-19 fatalities, issuing a statement saying that it had failed to include dozens of deaths at senior living homes during July and August in its official count.On Tuesday the cabinet approved evening curfews in 40 towns and neighborhoods throughout the country.Earlier this week approximately 90 doctors and researchers signed an open letter warning against a general closure. In the letter, the experts warned that a lockdown is only a temporary measure that does not stop the virus but only delays it, thereby drawing out the damage caused by the pandemic and putting more people in danger.Among the policy recommendations in the letter was developing a model tried out by Sweden, which avoided a lockdown and imposed only a minimal suite of restrictions in a bid to develop herd immunity, which occurs when enough of a population develops antibodies that infection rates drop to insignificant levels.Ultra-Orthodox Jewish women walk past border police officers at a checkpoint in a neighborhood in Jerusalem, amid measures put in place by Israeli authorities in a bid to stop the spread of COVID-19, on September 8, 2020. (Photo by MENAHEM KAHANA / AFP)-In response to that letter, over 320 senior medical staff and health workers published their own open letter in which they warned the herd immunity strategy had not been properly tried anywhere in the world and “is based on unfounded claims that are even scientifically and empirically wrong.”A herd immunity approach in Israel “could very likely lead to medical, economic and social disaster,” the letter warned and noted that treatment of coronavirus patients demands significant resources and requires three times the manpower of similarly ill patients who do not have the disease.“The call for the opening of the economy in parallel with widespread infection is misleading the public, because world experience shows that countries that tried to open up the economy before overcoming the virus harmed both the economy and health,” the authors wrote.“The national policy to contain the epidemic must include as a goal the reduction of infection as much as possible, and as a result will lead to the protection of vulnerable populations,” the letter urged.On Wednesday the Health Ministry reported that the death toll from the virus had reached 1,048, with 30,366 active patients, 472 of whom are in serious condition.

UTJ deputy minister Meir Porush attends mass ultra-Orthodox wedding in Haifa-Hundreds of guests crowd indoor event hall, ignoring Health Ministry guidelines; Porush’s office says he attended ‘for only a few minutes,’ calls on populace to follow rules-By TOI staff-sep 9,20-Today, 4:15 pm

Deputy Education Minister Meir Porush attended a mass wedding on Tuesday evening in an indoor event hall in Haifa along with several hundred followers of the Seret-Vishnitz Hasidic dynasty, in contravention of Health Ministry guidelines.The well-attended wedding took place on the same night a 40-city curfew began throughout Israel affecting some 1.3 million Israelis, mainly from the Haredi and Arab sectors, which have been hit especially hard by the pandemic.The wedding in Haifa broke Health Ministry guidelines for holding events in closed spaces. Video from the event showed some wearing masks, but many wore them on their chins.The United Torah Judaism MK’s office released a statement on Wednesday saying “The deputy education minister attended a wedding that took place last night for only a few minutes. The deputy minister calls on the public to conduct themselves according to and obey the Health Ministry’s instructions.”Haifa is considered an “orange” city according to the Health Ministry’s so-called traffic light system. Orange cities have high morbidity rates and indoor gatherings are allowed to fill 20 percent of the maximum capacity specified in a location’s license (or one person per four square meters, if capacity is unspecified).> https://t.co/ebPa51tuyr@yaircherki pic.twitter.com/MvtMuHGDO9—– N12 (@N12News) September 9, 2020-On Tuesday, Porush criticized the curfews imposed on 40 high-risk areas in Israel for being applied to entire Haredi cities instead of selected neighborhoods.Housing Minister Yaakov Litzman, who leads the United Torah Judaism party, was infected with coronavirus in April when he was health minister.

150,000 to 300,000 Jewish visitors expected per year-Gefilte in the Gulf? Abu Dhabi tells all its hotels to offer kosher food-Anticipating influx of Jewish tourists, city instructs its many hotels to offer kosher items on all menus and bars, ‘designate an area in all kitchens for Kosher food preparation’By Raphael Ahren-sep 9,20-Today, 2:48 pm

Apparently anticipating hordes of Jewish tourists in the aftermath of the upcoming signing of a peace treaty between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, local authorities in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday instructed all hotels in the city to prepare kosher food options.In a written message sent to the managers of all hotels in the Emirati capital, its Department of Culture and Tourism cites is commitment to serve “all visitors and tourists in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.” Therefore, “all hotel establishments are advised to include Kosher food options on room service menus and at all food and beverage outlets in their establishments.”All hotels are asked to “seek Kosher certification for handling kosher meals;” to “designate an area in all kitchens for Kosher food preparation;” and to “label Kosher menu items with a clear and visible label/reference with a recognisable symbol that denotes ‘Kosher,’ as per acquired certification.” The city has about 160 hotels and apartment hotels.The president of the Jewish Council of the Emirates, Ross Kriel, welcomed the news as a “wonderful expression of welcome and hospitality” by Abu Dhabi.View of Abu Dhabi Skyline at sunset, United Arab Emirates (vwalakte; iStock by Getty Images)-“This will benefit Jewish visitors as well as local residents who follow a kosher diet. As a long-time kosher resident of the UAE, this moment is reflective of the many ways in which our lives in the UAE are being transformed in the days since the Abraham Accord was announced.”The peace treaty — named for the Biblical patriarch revered by Jews and Muslims alike — will be signed at a White House ceremony on September 15 attended by US President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and UAE Foreign Ministry Abdullah bin Zayed.“In the days since the Abraham Accord was announced on August 13, tour operators have already begun to arrange tours to the UAE especially for next year, including Passover,” Kriel told The Times of Israel.Chef Alex, Ross Kriel and Elli Kriel, ahead of a dinner for Israeli journalists in Abu Dhabi, August 31, 2020 (courtesy)“It is expected that annual numbers could be in the range of 150,000 to 300,000 visitors. We as the Jewish Council of the Emirates look foreword to welcoming Israelis and visitors from the Jewish Diaspora. The UAE is a wonderful destination and is quickly equipping itself to receive Jewish visitors.”His wife, Elli Kriel, who owns the UAE’s first kosher catering business, hailed Abu Dhabi’s decision as well.“The UAE is already known for its excellent service and standards for food production and this will ensure that it is extended to kosher travelers,” she said.Elli’s Kosher Kitchen, her Dubai-based business, was responsible for food served to Israeli journalists and some members of a joint US-Israel delegation to Abu Dhabi last week.“The announcement from Abu Dhabi demonstrates their commitment to building and growing Jewish life,” said Rabbi Marc Schneier of New York, who has close ties to several Gulf states and has been involved in efforts to provide kosher food to Jewish tourists in the region. “By instructing hotels to provide kosher food, they are opening their doors to Jewish travelers from around the world.”Dubai-based Rabbi Levi Duchman, who is affiliated with the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, has for several months been bringing kosher food, including meat products, to the UAE for members of his community and Jewish visitors.Also on Tuesday, the US-based Orthodox Union, or OU, announced that it will be the leading kosher certification agency in the UAE. The Emirati government requested that the OU take up the position after the organization supervised the kosher food served to the delegation to Abu Dhabi last week.OU Kosher, which the group says is the world’s largest kosher certification body, will oversee the implementation of the dietary regulations in partnership with the UAE’s local Jewish community, the group said in a statement.A sign seen at the St. Regis hotel where the Israeli delegation to Abu Dhabi was staying, September 1, 2020 (Raphael Ahren/TOI)-It will be responsible for kosher food at hotels in the UAE, and at events, including Expo 2020, a major international exhibition that will be held in Dubai starting in October 2021.“As the Jewish community in the United Arab Emirates continues to grow and due to the influx of Jewish tourists, there is a need for kosher food and a certification that is internationally known,” said OU Kosher CEO Rabbi Menachem Genack. “We thank the UAE government for reaching out to us to provide this service and are looking forward to partnering with the local Jewish community to provide kosher food and certification.”Rabbi Yissachar Krakowski of OU Kosher flew from Israel to the UAE to facilitate all of the kosher food approval for the Israeli delegation last week.Krakowski has experience with kosher catering in the Gulf, having organized kosher meals for the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations when they visited the UAE and Saudi Arabia.US Jewish leaders enjoying kosher food, during a trip to Abu Dhabi in February 2018.

There are three congregations — two Orthodox and one egalitarian. The vast majority of Jews in the UAE live in Dubai.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Thousands homeless as Greece’s main migrant camp gutted by blaze-The Times of Israel-Asylum seekers flee Moria camp on Lesbos island, many sleep on the street; fire may have been started by people who resisted isolation after COVID-19 cases found-By Will Vassilopoulos and John Hadoulis-sep 9,20-Today, 2:58 pm

AFP — Thousands of asylum seekers on the Greek island of Lesbos were left homeless Wednesday after fleeing for their lives as a huge fire ripped through the camp of Moria, the country’s largest and most notorious migrant facility.Over 12,000 men, women and children ran in panic out of containers and tents into nearby olive groves and fields as the fire destroyed most of the overcrowded, squalid camp.The blaze started just hours after the migration ministry said that 35 people had tested positive at the camp.Citing anonymous police sources, Greek news agency ANA reported that the fires had started after a revolt by people who were to be placed in isolation, but there was no official confirmation.A local town official said the perpetrators had “taken advantage of strong winds” and deliberately set tents on fire.“It was premeditated. The tents were empty,” Michalis Fratzeskos, deputy mayor for civil protection, told state TV ERT.Firemen said there were no known casualties so far, although a number of people were suffering minor respiratory problems.Smoke was still billowing out of the camp hours after the fire started late on Tuesday, AFP TV footage showed.Dozens of people were milling among charred containers, some of them carrying away belongings, others snapping cellphone pictures.Two men walk amid smoke inside the burnt camp of Moria on the island of Lesbos after a major fire broke out, on September 9, 2020. (Manolis Lagoutaris / AFP)‘There is no Moria’“There is no Moria, it has been destroyed,” deputy regional governor Aris Hatzikomninos told ERT, as additional riot police were hurriedly flown to the island.EU home affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson on Wednesday said the bloc would finance “the immediate transfer and accommodation on the mainland of the camp’s remaining 400 unaccompanied children and teenagers.”“The safety and shelter of all people in Moria is the priority,” Johansson tweeted.The Moria camp, which was built to hold fewer than 2,800 people, has been routinely criticized by rights groups and the UN refugee agency for its lack of sanitation and overcrowding.Prostitution, sexual assault, disappearances of minors, drug trafficking and fights have been documented in the camp, where dozens of people have been stabbed, burnt to death in their tents or have committed suicide.From January to the end of August, five people were stabbed in more than 15 attacks, according to camp officials.Since becoming one of the main gateways into Europe for migrants and asylum seekers in 2015, Greece has built dozens of detention centers where overcrowding is common.The government has for months been attempting to build a new camp on Lesbos to replace Moria.But locals have resisted the move, clashing with riot police earlier this year to prevent construction from going ahead.A man runs as a fire burns inside the Moria migrant camp on the island of Lesbos on September 9, 2020.

(Manolis Lagoutaris / AFP)-Refugee support group Stand by Me Lesvos said on Twitter it had received reports that Greek locals on the island had blocked fleeing asylum seekers from heading into a nearby village.A force of over 20 firefighters, 10 fire engines and a helicopter has been deployed to the scene.Firefighters also said they had been attacked by stone-throwing asylum seekers whilst attempting to battle the blaze, and had asked for police assistance.Months of lockdowns-The camp had reported its first coronavirus case last Wednesday.Migrant camps on the islands have endured months of lockdowns as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, with access severely restricted.But at Moria, the restrictions have been harder to enforce because of the large number of asylum seekers sleeping outside the camp’s walls.The government has in recent months moved thousands of refugees from Lesbos and other islands to the mainland.But many refugees have been unable to find lodgings and jobs after leaving the camps, with housing and cash benefits recently scaled back by the government.

Trump to announce US troop withdrawals from Iraq, Afghanistan-US president tells PM al-Kadhemi American soldiers will leave Iraq, but gives no timetable-By AFP-sep 9,20-Today, 9:15 am

US President Donald Trump will announce further troop withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan in the next few days, a senior administration official said Tuesday.The official told reporters traveling with the president to expect an announcement Wednesday on Iraq, and on Afghanistan in the coming days.During a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi in August, Trump said American troops would leave Iraq but gave no timetable.The talks between the pair came with attacks on American targets by pro-Iranian fighters on the rise and the Iraqi government facing calls to expel the roughly 5,000 US troops deployed in the country as part of anti-jihadist efforts.The US military withdrew from Iraq in late 2011, leaving a small mission attached to the US embassy.But additional American forces were deployed a few years later to support Iraqi forces in their war against Islamic State, which carried out a devastating offensive in the summer of 2014US President Donald Trump meets with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi in the Oval Office of the White House, August 20, 2020. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)-In Afghanistan the US currently has 8,600 soldiers in accordance with a bilateral agreement signed in February between Washington and the Taliban.The Pentagon said in August that its goal was to get down to fewer than 5,000 troops as inter-Afghan peace talks progress.Trump previously mentioned in an interview with Axios that the White House aimed to reach 4,000 to 5,000 troops in Afghanistan by the November presidential election.Under the US-Taliban deal, all foreign troops must leave the country by the spring of 2021, in exchange for security commitments from the militants.Trump, who is trailing Democratic rival Joe Biden in the polls ahead of the November 3 election, has previously promised to bring troops home in a bid to end what he has called America’s endless wars.

Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize for brokering Israel-UAE deal-Conservative-leaning Norwegian lawmaker says he has recommended US president, who has done ‘much’ more than Obama to receive award-By TOI staff-sep 9,20-Today, 2:06 pm

US President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for brokering the landmark normalization deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, a Norwegian lawmaker who nominated him said Wednesday.“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Christian Tybring-Gjedde, who heads Norway’s delegation to NATO, told Fox News.Tybring-Gjedde wrote in his nomination letter to the Nobel Committee that “as it is expected other Middle Eastern countries will follow in the footsteps of the UAE, this agreement could be a game changer that will turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity,” the report said.He also praised Trump’s “key role in facilitating contact between conflicting parties and … creating new dynamics in other protracted conflicts, such as the Kashmir border dispute between India and Pakistan, and the conflict between North and South Korea, as well as dealing with the nuclear capabilities of North Korea.”Hailing the fact the the US president withdrew many troops from the Middle East, he added: “Trump has broken a 39-year-old streak of American Presidents either starting a war or bringing the United States into an international armed conflict. The last president to avoid doing so was Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter.”Thank you Christian Tybring-Gjedde! #NobelPrize #NobelPrize #NobelPrize #TRUMP2020ToSaveAmerica pic.twitter.com/6691HaEUBF — Mrs?S? (@stodda) September 9, 2020-Israel and the UAE announced on August 13 that they were establishing full diplomatic relations. The UAE is just the third Arab country to agree to official relations with Israel, after Egypt and Jordan. Israeli and American officials have expressed hope that other Gulf Arab countries will soon follow suit, with relations based on mutual commercial and security interests, and shared enmity toward Iran.The deal infuriated the Palestinians and eroded a longstanding Arab position that normalization with Israel will only come after the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is resolved. However, some Arab states, including Egypt, Oman and Bahrain, have issued praise for the normalization agreement.Oman, Bahrain, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia are among the countries that Israel and the US hope could follow the UAE in forging diplomatic ties with the Jewish state. But Saudi Arabia has said it will not normalize relations until Israel agrees to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, in keeping with the decades-old stance of most Arab nations.National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat elbow bumps with an Emirati official ahead of boarding the plane before leaving Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, September 1, 2020. (Nir Elias/Pool/AFP)-Tybring-Gjedde already nominated Trump for the same prize in 2018 after the US president held a summit with North Korean dictator Kin Jong Un.The lawmaker, who belongs to a conservative-leaning populist party, denied trying to curry favor with Trump trough the nomination.“I’m not a big Trump supporter. The committee should look at the facts and judge him on the facts – not on the way he behaves sometimes,” he told Fox News. “The people who have received the Peace Prize in recent years have done much less than Donald Trump. For example, Barack Obama did nothing.”Trump’s predecessor got the prize in 2009 in a controversial decision, for what the Nobel Committee described as his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”The winner of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize — selected by a five-member committee appointed by the Norwegian parliament — will not be announced until October of next year.

President Vucic seemed puzzled when Trump announced move-Serbia won’t open Jerusalem embassy if Israel recognizes Kosovo – Serbian source-A ‘diplomatic relationship’ with Pristina is acceptable, but full recognition would ‘destroy’ Israel’s ties with Belgrade, source says after speaking to Serbian leader-By Raphael Ahren-sep 9,20-Today, 11:13 am

Serbia will not fulfill its promise to move its embassy to Jerusalem if Israel recognizes its enemy Kosovo, a source close to the government in Belgrade warned Wednesday, adding that formal recognition of Pristina’s 2008 declaration of independence by Israel would “destroy” the Jewish state’s relationship with Serbia.“This could end up being a real mess, unless there is a compromise on what sort of relationship Israel will end up having with Kosovo,” the source told The Times of Israel, speaking on condition of anonymity.“Diplomatic relations with Kosovo are one thing, recognition as an independent country is another thing entirely. This would destroy the Israel-Serbia relationship,” the Serbian source said.On Friday, the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement saying that Kosovo and Israel had decided to “establish full diplomatic relations between the two countries.”US President @realDonaldTrump telephoned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday during the former's meeting with Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti and congratulated the two leaders on their decision to establish full diplomatic relations between the two countries. — PM of Israel (@IsraeliPM) September 5, 2020-The arrangement was apparently a part of an agreement between Kosovo and Serbia brokered by the US administration. Serbia and Kosovo — regional rivals that don’t recognize each other — each signed separate agreements with the US regarding the normalization of economic relations between the two Balkan countries.Belgrade, in its agreement with the US, vowed to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by July 1, 2021. The agreement with Pristina said that “Kosovo and Israel agree to mutually recognize each other.”At Friday’s White House signing ceremony, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic mentioned that there had been a “big fight” between Serbia and the US about Israel’s recognition of Kosovo.“They thought we should call on Israel to recognize Kosovo, and we said we couldn’t because it undermines our policy,” he said. “We said that if Israel and Pristina agree on that — fine. We also told Israel that if they respect Serbia, then our country will move the embassy to Jerusalem.”Some analysts understood the last reference, about Israel’s need to “respect Serbia,” as an indication that the country would only relocate its embassy if the Jewish state refrained from recognizing Kosovo.“Vucic said that Israel’s decision to recognize Kosovo isn’t connected to the agreement [signed at the White House] and is Israel’s own decision, and also that Serbia’s transfer of its embassy to Jerusalem is conditioned on Israel’s respecting Serbia’s interests,” Arthur Koll, a former Israeli ambassador to Serbia, told the Media Line website.“This a big hint that they won’t transfer their embassy at all.”The first questions about Serbia’s commitment to opening a Jerusalem embassy came up on Friday, after Vucic was seen looking puzzled during US President Donald Trump’s Oval Office announcement that Serbia had agreed to relocate the mission within less than a year.Video footage of a signing ceremony showed Vucic, sitting to Trump’s right, leafing through the agreement he had just signed. He then looks to his right — apparently at a standing aide — and touches his forehead in what seems like bemusement before smoothing his hair.Rampant speculation ensued on social media that the Serbian leader did not know what he had just signed on to, but he has since clarified that was well aware of the agreement’s content.Speaking to The Times of Israel, the Serbian source, who said he has met Vucic several times in recent days, including after the Washington ceremony, stressed that some sort of “diplomatic relationship” between Jerusalem and Pristina would be acceptable, but not a formal recognition of the Republic of Kosovo as a sovereign state.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (R) meets with Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic in PM Netanyahu’s office in Jerusalem. December 1, 2014. (photo credit: Kobi Gideon / GPO)-“I can tell you that Serbia will not move its embassy to Jerusalem if Israel recognizes Kosovo as an independent country,” the source said. “Moreover, this move by Israel would harm the otherwise intimate relationship between Israel and Serbia and it will never be the same. It’s that simple. Folks in Israel should understand this.”Asked if Serbia had not tacitly agreed to Kosovo and Israel establishing relations, the source stressed that the two sides signed separate documents. “The document Vucic signed doesn’t say anything about Israel recognizing Kosovo.”Thank you Mr. Netanyahu! My government is dedicated to open the embassy in Jerusalem, establish diplomatic relations and deepen bilateral relations.https://t.co/wU5YOP6gcm — Avdullah Hoti (@Avdullah) September 5, 2020-The current legal status of Israel’s recognition of Kosovo is somewhat unclear. Netanyahu said repeatedly that Kosovo and Israel had agreed to recognize each other, but no formal documents establishing diplomatic relations have been signed.“Kosovo will be the first Muslim majority country to open an embassy in Jerusalem. As I have been saying in recent days, the circle of peace and recognition of Israel is expanding and additional countries are expected to join it,” Netanyahu said Friday.Countries only establish embassies in countries with which they have full diplomatic relations.Kosovar Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti on Friday said he spoke to Netanyahu over the phone, and that “we agreed to establish diplomatic relations.”Today, Kosovo and Israel have agreed on mutual recognition. Israel is our strategic partner. I had a phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu @netanyahu and we agreed to establish diplomatic relations. — Avdullah Hoti (@Avdullah) September 4, 2020-The Prime Minister’s Office on Saturday announced that, “pursuant to consultations over the past two days with the Foreign Ministry, the National Security Council and other elements, Israel and Kosovo will establish diplomatic relations.”Netanyahu and Vucic are expected to speak on the phone Friday.The Serbian Embassy in Tel Aviv did not immediately comment for this article.Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lior Haiat said Israel welcomed Serbia’s decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem. “This is an important and courageous step that testifies to the depth of relations between Israel and Serbia and will lead to the strengthening of friendship between the peoples,” he told The Times of Israel.Israel greatly appreciates its ties with Serbia, which have further improved under Vucic’s leadership, he went on. “We have no doubt that this relationship will continue to deepen following the decision to move the Serbian embassy to Jerusalem.”Israel views the decision of Serbia and Kosovo to establish embassies in Jerusalem as a “symbolic step towards promoting peace between these countries,” Haiat said.“Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the State of Israel, will be a bridge of peace to the entire world,” he addi, calling on other countries to follow in their footsteps.

Pakistan Christian gets death sentence for blasphemy; wouldn’t convert to Islam-Asif Pervaiz, 37, has been in custody since 2013, fighting charge leveled against him by former factory supervisor who was trying to convert him-By AFP-sep 9,20-Today, 6:40 am

LAHORE, Pakistan — A Pakistani court on Tuesday sentenced a Christian man to death after convicting him of sending text messages containing “blasphemous content.”Asif Pervaiz, 37, has been in custody since 2013 fighting blasphemy charges that were leveled against him by the supervisor of the factory he once worked at.Pervaiz’s lawyer Saif-ul-Malook told AFP that Pervaiz has denied all charges against him and had merely forwarded the text messages in question.“This case should have been thrown out by the judge,” Malook said, adding he would appeal the verdict with the Lahore High Court.“He has already spent seven years awaiting the court’s decision. Who knows how many more years he will have to wait till this is over?”Blasphemy is a hugely sensitive issue in conservative Pakistan where laws can carry the death penalty for anyone deemed to have insulted Islam or Islamic figures.Pervaiz claims his supervisor, who had been trying to convert him to Islam, had accused him of blasphemy after he quit his factory job.Religious minorities, including Christians, are most at threat from abuses of blasphemy laws.Up to 80 people are known to be imprisoned in Pakistan on such charges — half of whom face life in prison or the death penalty — according to the US Commission on International Religious Freedom.Last month a man accused of committing blasphemy was shot dead inside a courtroom in the city of Peshawar.

Worse than combat:' Helicopters rescue hundreds from California wildfire-[Reuters]-Andrew Hay-September 8, 2020

(Reuters) - U.S. military helicopters on Tuesday plucked dozens more campers, hikers and locals from the path of a raging California wildfire, with one pilot describing conditions as more dangerous than combat.California Army National Guard Chinook and Black Hawk helicopters were flying into dense smoke, sometimes landing within 50 feet (15 m) of flames while an extreme wildfire burned through a dead forest in Central California.Pilots and crews were packing aircraft with burn victims and evacuees, rescuing about 100 people on Tuesday, said Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Shiroma.Crews have airlifted around 360 people and 16 dogs since a firework at a gender-reveal party sparked the Creek Fire in mountains 35 miles (56 km) northeast of Fresno on Saturday.Kipp Goding landed multiple times at a campsite where people gathered on a lake dock as everything around them burned, filling his UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter to capacity.“Every piece of vegetation you could see as far as you could see around that lake was on fire,” Goding, an Army National Guard pilot, said on a video call.He told two people on his last landing that it was their final chance to go, but they chose to stay with their motor homes.Two helicopter pilots have died since mid-August fighting wildfires in California and Oregon and Goding said the missions were worse than getting shot at in combat."The added stress and workload of going in and out of that fire is definitely by far the toughest flying I've ever done," said Goding, who has flown 25 years for the Army.A decade-long drought allowed beetles to kill around 90 percent of trees in the Sierra National Forest area. Rising average temperatures, combined with recent heat waves, parched ground vegetation, creating optimal fire conditions.Pilots are flying at night using night vision goggles to see through dense smoke that during the daytime can make missions impossible.“Those night vision goggles allowed us to keep on going one ridge further,” Goding said.(Reporting by Andrew Hay; Editing by Bill Tarrant and Peter Cooney)

ISAIAH 30:26-27
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold,(7X OR 7-DEGREES HOTTER) as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people,(ISRAEL) and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

MATTHEW 24:21-22,29
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened,(DAY LIGHT HOURS SHORTENED) there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake (ISRAELS SAKE) those days shall be shortened (Daylight hours shortened)(THE ASTEROID HITS EARTH HERE)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
 
REVELATION 16:7-9
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
