Growing anger as virus devastates India, overwhelming cemeteries, crematoriums-Government and Prime Minister Modi face criticism amid deadly record-breaking wave of infections; authorities ask Twitter to stifle some reproving voices-By SHEIKH SAALIQ and AIJAZ HUSSAIN-APR 26,21-Today, 2:44 am

NEW DELHI, India (AP) — With life-saving oxygen in short supply, family members in India are left on their own to ferry coronavirus patients from hospital to hospital in search of treatment as the country is engulfed in a devastating new surge of infections. Too often their efforts end in mourning.The stories are told on social media and in television footage, showing desperate relatives pleading for oxygen outside hospitals or weeping in the street for loved ones who died waiting for treatment.One woman mourned the death of her younger brother, aged 50. He was turned away by two hospitals and died waiting to be seen at a third, gasping after his oxygen tank ran out and no replacements were to be had. She blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government for the crisis.“He has lit funeral pyres in every house,” she cried in a video shot by India’s weekly magazine The Caravan.For the fourth straight day, India on Sunday set a global daily record of new coronavirus infections, spurred by an insidious new variant that emerged here. The surge has undermined the government’s premature claims of victory over the pandemic.The 349,691 confirmed infections over the past day brought India’s total to more than 16.9 million cases, behind only the United States. The Health Ministry reported another 2,767 deaths in the past 24 hours, pushing India’s fatalities to 192,311.Experts say this toll could be a huge undercount, as suspected cases are not included, and many COVID-19 deaths are being attributed to underlying conditions.The unfolding crisis is most visceral in India’s overwhelmed graveyards and crematoriums, and in heartbreaking images of gasping patients dying on their way to hospitals due to lack of oxygen.Burial grounds in the capital New Delhi are running out of space. Bright, glowing funeral pyres light up the night sky in other badly hit cities.In the central city of Bhopal, some crematoriums have increased their capacity from dozens of pyres to more than 50. Yet officials say there are still hours-long waits.At the city’s Bhadbhada Vishram Ghat crematorium, workers said they cremated more than 110 people on Saturday, even as government figures in the entire city of 1.8 million put the total number of virus deaths at just 10.“The virus is swallowing our city’s people like a monster,” said Mamtesh Sharma, an official at the site.The unprecedented rush of bodies has forced the crematorium to skip individual ceremonies and exhaustive rituals that Hindus believe release the soul from the cycle of rebirth.“We are just burning bodies as they arrive,” said Sharma. “It is as if we are in the middle of a war.”The head gravedigger at New Delhi’s largest Muslim cemetery, where 1,000 people have been buried during the pandemic, said more bodies are arriving now than last year. “I fear we will run out of space very soon,” said Mohammad Shameem.The situation is equally grim at unbearably full hospitals, where desperate people are dying in line, sometimes on the roads outside, waiting to see doctors.Health officials are scrambling to expand critical care units and stock up on dwindling supplies of oxygen.Hospitals and patients alike are struggling to procure scarce medical equipment that’s being sold on the black market at an exponential markup.The drama is in direct contrast with government claims that “nobody in the country was left without oxygen,” in a statement made Saturday by India’s Solicitor General Tushar Mehta before Delhi High Court.The breakdown is a stark failure for a country whose prime minister only in January had declared victory over COVID-19, and which boasted of being the “world’s pharmacy,” a global producer of vaccines, and a model for other developing nations.Caught off-guard by the latest deadly spike, the federal government has asked industrialists to increase the production of oxygen and other life-saving drugs in short supply. But health experts say India had an entire year to prepare for the inevitable — and it didn’t.Dr. Krutika Kuppalli, assistant professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases at the Medical University of South Carolina, said the government should have used the last year, when the virus was more under control, to stockpile medicines and develop systems to confront the likelihood of a new surge.“Most importantly, they should have looked at what was going on in other parts of the world and understood that it was a matter of time before they would be in a similar situation,” Kuppalli said.Instead, the government’s premature declarations of victory over the pandemic created a “false narrative,” which encouraged people to relax health measures when they should have continued strict adherence to physical distancing, wearing masks and avoiding large crowds.Modi is facing mounting criticism for allowing Hindu festivals and attending mammoth election rallies that experts suspect accelerated the spread of infections. At one such rally on April 17, Modi expressed his delight at the huge crowd, even as experts warned that a deadly surge was inevitable with India already counting 250,000 new daily cases.Now, with the death toll mounting, his Hindu nationalist government is trying to quell critical voices.On Saturday, Twitter complied with the government’s request and prevented people in India from viewing more than 50 tweets that appeared to criticize the administration’s handling of the pandemic. The targeted posts include tweets from opposition ministers critical of Modi, journalists, and ordinary Indians.A Twitter spokesperson said it had powers to “withhold access to the content in India only” if the company determined the content to be “illegal in a particular jurisdiction.” The company said it had responded to an order by the government and notified people whose tweets were withheld.India’s Information Technology Ministry did not respond to a request for comment.Even with the targeted blocks, horrific scenes of overwhelmed hospitals and cremation grounds spread on Twitter and drew appeals for help.The US is actively looking at ways to boost aid to India, including sending oxygen supplies, virus tests, drug treatments and personal protective equipment.Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Biden administration’s top medical adviser on the pandemic, told ABC’s “This Week” that the US would review how to increase India’s vaccine supply, such as by sending doses or helping India “to essentially make vaccines themselves.”The White House said national security adviser Jake Sullivan spoke by phone Sunday with his Indian counterpart, Ajit Doval, and that the US is ”working around the clock” to send supplies.Help and support were also offered from archrival Pakistan, with politicians, journalists and citizens in the neighboring country expressing solidarity. Pakistan’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said it offered to provide relief including ventilators, oxygen supply kits, digital X-ray machines, PPE and related items.“Humanitarian issues require responses beyond political consideration,” Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said.The Indian government did not immediately respond to Qureshi’s statement.

Man admits to past missionary work, but says he 'repented'-Shock in Jerusalem community as rabbi outed as undercover Christian missionary-Family supported by ultra-Orthodox community after mother dies of cancer, father worked as scribe and mohel; investigators say they faked being Jewish to move to Israel-By TOI staff-APR 26,21-Today, 4:08 am

An ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Jerusalem’s French Hill neighborhood was in shock on Sunday after a prominent member of the community was reportedly outed as an undercover Christian missionary.Beyneynu, a non-profit organization that monitors missionary activity in Israel, said Sunday that it had been “investigating the case of a covert missionary in French Hill for many years,” but had acted to expose him now “due to one of the missionary’s children proselytizing in school.”Hebrew media said the man, a rabbi, who was not identified publically, had posed as a cohen (priest) and worked as a scribe and a mohel, conducting ritual circumcisions.However, it was discovered that the family was actually not Jewish, but from a Christian family from New Jersey in the US, and had reportedly forged documents to show they were Jewish in order to emigrate to Israel under the Law of Return.“We are confident that the Jewish leaders will act strongly against this threat, and quickly put protective measures in place to protect the Jewish community,” Beyneynu said.The ultra-Orthodox newspaper Behadrei Haredim reported that when the man’s recently deceased wife became ill with cancer several years ago, she told friends some things that did not make sense to them and sparked the investigation.The wife had reportedly falsely claimed to be the daughter of Holocaust survivors.Investigators discovered that the family’s parents in the US were not Jewish and posting missionary material on social media, the paper said. The man’s late father was buried in a non-Jewish cemetery. An obituary identified him as a member of the Friendship Mennonite Church.Beyneynu said it had “taken great care in verifying each piece of evidence before exposing this case to the public,” but did not detail the evidence“Until now we kept it quiet because we did not want the father to move to another neighborhood (to carry on his work,) and we wanted to work to get his citizenship revoked,” Yoni Kayman, a community member involved in the investigation, told Behadrei Haredim.Kayman said the father had also recently begun to try and get rid of the evidence, deleting things on social media, and had stopped sending his daughters to the local religious school, so they decided to inform the community of his activities.Channel 13 news broadcast clips from 2011 of the father speaking on US television, acknowledging Jesus as the Messiah.Speaking to Channel 13, the man denied he was working as an undercover Christian missionary.“It’s a lie, I was born Jewish,” he said. However, he acknowledged working as a missionary 7 or 8 years ago, but said he had “repented.”Community members expressed shock, noting how involved the family was and the fact that after the wife died, the community set up a fund for the family and had been helping to support them.“The family looked completely ultra-Orthodox, he had a long beard and a hat, the boys had side-curls, the girls went to ‘Beis Ya’akov’ schools,” Kayman told Channel 13.“For five years we have been supporting them, paying for their groceries, school busses, for everything, and they deceived us,” he said.Israel enjoys vigorous support from Christian evangelical movements in the United States but keeps a lid on missionary work in the Holy Land.While Israeli law only expressly forbids the giving of money or gifts to encourage conversions to another religion, missionary activities, in general, are closely monitored by the authorities and are offensive to many Israelis.Also forbidden by law is “missionary or proselytizing activity directed at minors without the permission of their parents.”

Netanyahu said to offer Gantz to be prime minister first in new unity deal-Blue and White leader turns down proposal, TV network reports, but PM is considering offering same carrot to other leaders from bloc of parties aiming to oust him-By Stuart Winer-APR 26,21-Today, 5:02 am

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, running out of time to form a coalition, has offered his former coalition partner Benny Gantz a rotation deal with the Blue and White leader to serve first as prime minister, Channel 12 news reported Sunday.The offer would seem to indicate Netanyahu’s growing desperation, given that the last government fell apart over Netanyahu’s refusal to honor the coalition agreement with Gantz that would have seen the defense minister take over as premier from Netanyahu, later this year.Under the terms of the reported offer, Gantz would be prime minister for the first year, after which Netanyahu would return to lead the country for another two years, and then Gantz take over again for a final year.During his terms as prime minister, Gantz would continue to also serve as defense minister. Netanyahu would continue to live at the prime minister’s official residence in Jerusalem throughout the four years, the report said.The Likud idea of offering Gantz a new rotation deal as prime minister was first reported last week by Zman, the Times of Israel’s Hebrew-language sister site.Gantz reportedly turned down the offer that was eventually made during a Friday phone call, Channel 12 reported, telling Netanyahu “I don’t see that as feasible.”The station assessed that though Gantz refused, in line with his campaign promise to not join a Netanyahu-led government, the offer is still tempting to him because it would enable him to finally become prime minister, a development that has been all but dashed by the collapse of the last unity government. However, were he to accept, it would mark the second time that Gantz would break the same election promise, having vowed to not enter a coalition with Netanyahu before the previous elections as well.Netanyahu and Gantz formed their doomed unity government after the March 2020 election, agreeing that Netanyahu would serve first for two years and then Gantz takes over for another two, which was scheduled to begin in November this year. However, the unity government automatically dissolved at the end of the year after failing to pass a state budget, a development that was widely seen as orchestrated by Netanyahu to prevent Gantz from becoming prime minister.Elections in March were inconclusive, just like the previous three votes, with the Knesset divided between two blocs, a Netanyahu-led group of right and religious parties facing others who want to see the prime minister changed. Neither bloc has a majority in the Knesset and both sides are engaged in negotiations to reach the minimum of 61 seats needed for a majority in 120-seat Knesset.Though Gantz turned down Netanyahu’s offer, the prime minister is considering making the same proposal to the leaders of two other parties who are in talks with the so-called “change bloc,” Yamina chief MK Naftali Bennett, and New Hope leader MK Gideon Sa’ar, both Channel 12 and Channel 13 news stations reported, without citing sources. Bennett, who is determined to become prime minister himself, has not committed to either bloc while Sa’ar has vowed to see Netanyahu ousted.In addition, Netanyahu is also said to be considering suggesting the same arrangement with Knesset Speaker MK Yariv Levin, a member of the Likud party that Netanyahu leads.Elevating Levin to become prime minister would still leave Netanyahu in the powerful position of the alternative prime minister as part of the rotation arrangement and enable both Gantz and Sa’ar to join his coalition, giving him the Knesset majority he needs.Netanyahu has just another nine days to complete the task of building a government before the mandate returns to President Reuven Rivlin who can then look at other options, including tasking the next lawmaker in line, opposition leader MK Yair Lapid whose Yesh Atid party is the largest in the bloc of parties trying to replace Netanyahu.In the meantime, there has reportedly been some progress in talks among the change bloc, which is comprised of an assortment of left, center, and right-wing parties with dramatically different world views on some key national issues. Lapid, who wants there to be no more than 20 ministers in the government has agreed to Bennett and Sa’ar’s demand that there be more, though just how many is still disputed, Channel 13 reported.Bennett, for his part, has given up on a demand that he have a double vote in the broader cabinet, but is still insisting on that power in the top-level security cabinet, Channel 13 reported.There are also disputes over the control of key ministries. Though Channel 13 reported that there is agreement among the parties that Gantz would remain defense minister the Kan public broadcaster said that Sa’ar wants the post. The justice ministry is being chased by New Hope, Yamina, and some of the left-wing parties in the bloc, while the Labor and Yisrael Beytenu parties are haggling over the Finance Ministry, Kan reported. Also, the Education Ministry is being contested by New Hope and the left-wing Meretz party, according to the station.A change bloc government would also be based on a rotation of the premiership between Lapid and Bennett, according to Hebrew media reports. However, Bennett is said to be facing reluctance from within his own right-wing nationalist party to cooperating with Lapid, and some of his Yamina’s seven lawmakers may not agree to join such a coalition, Channel 12 reported. That would further hamper Lapid’s efforts to build a viable coalition.Should no government be formed the country will head to its fifth elections in two and half years.

In bid to stem violent protests, police allow crowds at Old City’s Damascus Gate-Recent evenings have seen intense clashes between Palestinians and law enforcement in Jerusalem, as well as a far-right Jewish march-By TOI staff and AFP-25 April 2021, 11:04 pm

Hundreds of Palestinians celebrated at the Damascus Gate entrance to Jerusalem’s Old City on Sunday evening after police halted a controversial policy that barred Muslim worshipers from congregating in the area during the holy month of Ramadan.Thousands of Palestinians had descended on the flashpoint area each night since Ramadan began on April 13 to protest the policy, which had seen the basin outside Damascus Gate filled with dozens of police divider fences, along with armed officers ordered to prevent anyone from sitting on the steps.Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai told reporters Saturday that it was a longstanding policy implemented annually by officers in order to prevent crowding and allow for the free flow of visitors in and out of the Old City on Ramadan.However, photos of Damascus Gate from previous years that were posted on social media showed the site packed with visitors and no police fences and roadblocks around the basin outside the gate, as there have been this month.There have been times in recent years when the fences were installed, but that was done for a short amount of time, rather than for weeks on end.Asked on Sunday to explain the discrepancy between photos of a packed Damascus Gate from previous years and the comments by Shabtai that longstanding policy has prevented crowding at the Old City entrance on Ramadan, police declined to do so.Channel 12 spoke with a series of former senior officials in the Israel Police, including ex-commissioners, who called on Shabtai to scrap the policy as a demonstration of good faith to Palestinians during the particularly sensitive time of year.Shortly after the network’s report aired, Shabtai ordered the scrapping of the policy.The decision came “following consultations with local leadership, religious leadership, situation assessments, while taking into consideration the shop owners who need to make a living, and in order to lower the level of violence,” a police spokesman told AFP.“Our forces are still deployed on the ground, and we won’t let violence resurge,” the spokesman said.Hundreds of Palestinians, including male youths who tossed the barricades to the side, held celebratory rallies in the plaza, watched over by police.Minor scuffles erupted after some of the revelers began waving Palestinian flags, moves which prompted police to briefly move into the plaza.AFP reporters saw several young Palestinians being detained by police. Police said Monday morning that 12 people were arrested overnight for throwing rocks and glass bottles at cops or for assaulting passersby.But the plaza remained open, with police maintaining a heavy presence in the area into Monday’s early hours.Footage from Damascus Gate showed the area packed with visitors, as it had been in previous years, cheering and whistling in victory.The atmosphere contrasted starkly from that of previous nights, which have featured violent clashes.More than 105 Palestinians were wounded late Thursday in clashes with police who found themselves in the middle of the Arab demonstrators and a mob of hundreds of Jewish extremists marching toward Damascus Gate, chanting “Death to Arabs,” “May your village burn,” and other hateful slogans.Police used riot dispersal measures against both crowds, but reserved more severe means, including rubber bullets, for the Palestinian mob.The Hamas terror group in Gaza, which has been firing rockets into Israel for the last three nights, allegedly in response to the clashes in Jerusalem, hailed the decision to remove the barriers as a victory for the “Palestinian youths against the occupation.”Jerusalem has also seen a series of viral videos on the social network TikTok, which appear to show Palestinians attacking ultra-Orthodox Jews without any provocation. The clips have fueled Jewish anger.The racist Lehava group, which led the Jewish protests, said in a statement that it would not be reconvening outside Damascus Gate on Sunday night, and instead would be offering Krav Maga classes for its activists. However, the group said that it would be prepared to take to the streets “to protect Jews, if police failed to do their job.”Earlier Sunday evening, three Arab sanitation workers were attacked by a group of Jewish youths on Ben Sira Street in downtown Jerusalem.One of the suspects was arrested, police said, adding that they found a knife on him. Officers were engaging in a manhunt for the remaining assailants.Hours earlier, a Jewish Israeli distributing religious booklets at a junction outside the mixed town of Ramle was assaulted by an Arab teen. The 19-year-old suspect was apprehended shortly thereafter by police.The victim received treatment for minor injuries at nearby Assaf Harofeh Medical Center..

Zarif criticized Soleimani’s power, said Russia tried to sabotage Iran nuke deal-In leaks from interview last year, minister says he was often kept in dark as IRGC dictated policy, was ‘astonished’ when US told him of Israeli strikes on Iranian targets in Syria-By TOI staff-APR 26,21-Today, 9:02 am

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif criticized the power of Qassem Soleimani in leaks published Sunday from an interview he gave last year, saying the assassinated head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had been setting Tehran’s policy.Zarif said that Soleimani had worked with Russia to sabotage the nuclear deal and acted in Syria’s long-running war in a way that damaged Tehran’s interests, as well as undermining him on a number of occasions, the New York Times reported.“In the Islamic Republic the military field rules,” Zarif said. “I have sacrificed diplomacy for the military field rather than the field servicing diplomacy.”The extracts also suggested Soleimani refused to listen to a request by the Foreign Ministry that Tehran show less overt support for Syrian leader Bashar Assad, including not using state airline Iran Air to transport military equipment and personnel to Syria and not deploying ground forces to the war-torn country.Zarif also criticized Soleimani for allowing Russian planes to fly over Iran on their way to bomb Syria.Zarif said that he was often kept in the dark about security matters, and that “to his astonishment,” former US Secretary of State John Kerry told him that Israel had attacked Iranian interests in Syria at least 200 times.The Times did not clarify when the conversation between the two officials took place.The Israel Defense Forces has launched hundreds of strikes in Syria since the start of the civil war in 2011 against moves by Iran to establish a permanent military presence in the country and efforts to transport advanced, game-changing weapons to terrorist groups in the region, principally Hezbollah.Zarif made the comments in an hours-long taped conversation that took place last March as part of an oral history project. A copy was leaked to the UK-based Persian language news channel Iran International, which is viewed as hostile to Iran and is owned by Saudi Arabians.According to the Times, Zarif can be heard on a number of occasions in the interview emphasizing that his words were not for publication.Zarif also claimed that Soleimani traveled to Moscow to “demolish our achievement” and try to stop Russia’s support for the nuclear deal struck with world powers.He also said that Russia did not want the deal to succeed as that would result in Tehran normalizing relations with the West, and therefore Moscow “put all its weight” behind placing obstacles on the path to the agreement.According to the Guardian, which did not publish direct quotes from the interview, Zarif said that “forces inside Iran” tried to prevent the passage of the 2015 nuclear agreement through a number of methods, including an attack on the Saudi embassy.Zarif reportedly described the IRGC’s influence on foreign policy as “akin to a cold war,” the Guardian reported, adding that the top Iranian envoy claimed he spent more of his time dealing with the organization than with any other tasks.Zarif said that when the IRGC shot down a Ukrainian airliner, killing all on board, he attended a meeting with security officials who attacked him and told him that it was not true that Iran had downed the plane.He said he was told to send a tweet denying the Guard had shot down the plane, despite the IRGC immediately knowing what had happened.According to the Times, Zarif did praise Soleimani at times during the interview, saying they successfully worked together ahead of the United States invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Iranian envoy said that the US assassination of Soleimani caused more damage than the wiping out of a city.The US killed Soleimani, who oversaw the Revolutionary Guard’s expeditionary Quds Force, and others in the January 3, 2020, strike near Baghdad International Air.Soleimani was for years seen as the architect of much of Iran’s malign activities in the Middle East, including attempts to place a foothold in Syria and rocket attacks on Israel, making him one of Israel and the US’s most sought-after targets.The strike on Soleimani came after months of incidents raising tensions between the two countries and saw Iran retaliate with a ballistic missile strike targeting American troops in Iraq, an attack Zarif said the United States knew of before he did.The leaks came at a sensitive time, with Iran currently engaged in indirect talks with the US, mediated by Europe in Vienna, aimed at reviving the nuclear pact, even as it enriches uranium to its highest-ever levels.Iran’s Foreign Ministry admitted that Zarif gave the interview, but said that his words had been distorted through the use of selective quotes, the Guardian reported.Saeed Khatibzadeh, a spokesman for the ministry, called the leak “unethical politics.”Former Vice President Mohammad Ali Abtahi said that the publication of Zarif’s comments was “tantamount to Israel stealing the nuclear documents” from Iran.In 2018, the Mossad spirited a huge trove of documentation out of a warehouse in Tehran, detailing Iran’s rogue nuclear program.

Israel fully closed the Gaza fishing zone on Monday morning, forbidding Palestinians from sailing off the coast of the beleaguered enclave, after terrorists in the Strip launched five rockets toward southern Israel overnight.It was the third straight night of rocket attacks from Gaza, raising the specter of wider conflict in the restive region.The closing of the fishing zone appeared to be Israel’s sole retaliation to the rocket attacks, with the Israel Defense Forces refraining from conducting airstrikes on the Hamas terror group in the Strip — its usual response to rocket fire.The launches began at 10:45 p.m., with a rocket that struck an open field near the Gaza border, without triggering alarms in populated areas. Roughly an hour later, a second rocket was fired toward southern Israel, but it failed to clear the border and landed inside the Strip, according to the army.Shortly after 3 a.m., terrorists in Gaza launched three rockets toward the town of Sderot and the surrounding area, triggering sirens in the communities. Two of these were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system; the third landed inside Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces said.Four people, including a pregnant woman, were lightly wounded after falling while running to bomb shelters in that attack, medics said.After the initial two attacks, Israel’s military liaison to the Palestinians — known formally as the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) — announced that the military was restricting the Gaza fishing zone from its usual 15 nautical miles to nine nautical miles in light of the attacks.However, after the third round of rocket launches in the predawn hours of Monday morning, the liaison Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian announced that beginning at 6 a.m. on Monday, Israel was closing off the Gaza coast to Palestinian fishermen entirely.“This is because of the continued rocket fire from the Gaza Strip at Israeli territory during the night,” COGAT said in a statement.“Hamas bears responsibility for everything that happens in or originates from the Gaza Strip against Israel, and it will bear the consequences for the violence directed against Israeli citizens,” Alian said.Fishing is a significant source of revenue for the enclave. The size of the fishing zone has varied over the years. It was set at 20 nautical miles by the Oslo peace accords in the 1990s before being reduced to six miles under the joint Israeli-Egyptian blockade imposed after Hamas took over the Strip in a violent coup against the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority in 2007.Israel has raised and lowered the limit several times in recent years in a bid to pressure Hamas, the de facto ruler of the Gaza Strip.The attacks on Sunday night and Monday morning came after Gazan terrorist groups launched over 40 rockets into Israel over the weekend. On Saturday, a number of Palestinian terror groups fired experimental rockets toward the Mediterranean Sea as a show of force.Palestinian terror groups have said that the weekend’s rocket attacks were in response to ongoing unrest in Jerusalem, where Arab residents have demonstrated for several days against Ramadan restrictions on congregating near Jerusalem’s Damascus Gate. Those restrictions were lifted by police just over an hour before the rocket was fired, leading to some speculation that the launch had been a “celebratory” measure.Rockets are fired toward the sea during a military drill by members of the Mujahideen Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian movement of the same name, along a beach off of Gaza City, on April 24, 2021. (MAHMUD HAMS / AFP)-Two Gaza factions, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and a branch of Fatah’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, claimed responsibility for the Friday-Saturday rocket fire. But Israel holds Hamas directly responsible for all fire from the enclave into Israeli territory, charging that it takes place with the terror group’s consent.The Hamas leadership earlier Sunday called East Jerusalemites to continue “mobilizing in the Old City and at its gates.” Hamas also said night patrols of Palestinians ought to be formed to protect East Jerusalem residents from assaults by Jewish extremists.The widening circle of clashes has sparked concerns in Israel that the situation could escalate across the West Bank and Gaza.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Saturday for the military to “prepare for any scenario” with Gaza. Defense Minister Benny Gantz similarly said that the Israel Defense Forces “will do what is necessary so the calm is preserved,” following security consultations at defense headquarters in Tel Aviv.The Israeli military notably refrained from conducting retaliatory strikes in the Gaza Strip on Saturday night as well as on Sunday night, in an apparent bid to ease tensions. Israel normally adopts a tit-for-tat strategy, responding to Gazan rocket fire by shelling Hamas observation posts or imposing restrictions on the Gaza Strip.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Rockets fired from Gaza for 3rd night, 4 lightly hurt running for shelter-Iron Dome intercepts two rockets; Israel to restrict Gaza fishing zone in response to rockets as armed groups in coastal enclave continue to ramp up tensions-By TOI staff-25 April 2021, 11:29 pm

Terrorists in Gaza fired rockets toward Israel for the third night in a row on Sunday and early Monday, with the Iron Dome system intercepting two of them.Four people, including a pregnant woman, were lightly wounded after falling while running to bomb shelters early Monday, medics said.A first projectile was detected by the Israel Defense Forces, which said it only set off red alert sires in an open area where it evidently fell. A second rocket landed inside Gaza near the security fence.Just after 3. a.m, three more rockets were fired, with the Iron Dome system intercepting two of them. A third fell inside Gaza, the army said.The launches came hours after the Gaza-ruling Hamas issued a statement calling on “our noble resistance in Gaza to keep their fingers on the trigger, to keep their rockets on standby to target the enemy’s fortresses and military and vital structures.”Just after midnight Sunday, the Israeli military announced that it would be restricting the fishing zone off the Gaza coast from 15 to 9 nautical miles, starting at 6 a.m. Monday until further notice.“The decision was made in light of repeated terrorist acts from the Gaza Strip against the citizens of the State of Israel during the recent days, which constitute a violation of  Israeli sovereignty,” said a statement from the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, which is the branch of the Defense Ministry responsible for liaising with the Palestinians.“Hamas is held accountable for all that is done in and from the Gaza Strip towards Israel, and it will bear the consequences for the violence committed against the citizens of the State of Israel, the statement said.Fishing is a significant source of revenue for the enclave. The size of the fishing zone has varied over the years.

Expert: Last week’s ‘blast’ in central Israel was a solid rocket fuel test-American professor bases assessment on satellite images, similar trials in other parts of the world-By Judah Ari Gross-25 April 2021, 4:50 pm

The mysterious blast seen in central Israel last week was, in fact, a test of solid rocket fuel at a secretive Israeli defense facility, according to an American nuclear nonproliferation expert.Jeffrey Lewis, a professor at Middlebury Institute of International Studies and self-described “arms control wonk,” made his assessment based on satellite images of the site and video footage of similar tests from elsewhere in the world, publishing his findings on his website on Friday.Last Tuesday, a Twitter user uploaded a video of the incident, showing a sudden massive blast of fire and smoke south of Kibbutz Mishmar David in central Israel, in the vicinity of the government-owned Tomer defense contractor, which manufactures propulsion systems for a variety of Israel’s rockets and missiles. This led to widespread speculation that the explosion was caused by Iranian sabotage as retaliation for a recent attack on the Islamic Republic’s Natanz nuclear facility, which was widely attributed to Israel.When asked about the incident, a spokesperson for Tomer denied that an accidental blast had taken place, maintaining that the fire and smoke were caused by a “controlled test,” but refusing to elaborate further.According to Lewis, the blast was in fact the controlled, directed explosion of a solid fuel rocket test.The "explosion" video was posted on April 20. Satellite images captured by our friends at @planetlabs show a large burn scar that appeared on the same day at the test stand. I false-colored a pair of near-infrared images to reveal the scorched vegetation. (6/12) pic.twitter.com/QuBo7848Kh — Dr. Jeffrey Lewis (@ArmsControlWonk) April 23, 2021“There is a low rumble during the burn. And it seems to extinguish after a few seconds. At the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, we spend a lot of time looking at missiles. This event looks and sounds much more like the last few seconds of a test of a solid-propellent rocket motor than an explosion,” Lewis wrote in an article on his website.Lewis and his colleagues reviewed satellite images of the area where Israel is known to test rocket motors and found that a large burn scar appeared on the day in question, one similar to those found after solid rocket fuel tests. They then cross referenced the images with the location data from the video, determining that the blast in the footage and the burn scar were in the same place.“So, in the end, it is pretty clear to me that someone in Mishmar David recorded the last few seconds of a solid rocket motor test,” Lewis wrote.The weapons expert questioned why Tomer decided to be cagey in its response instead of acknowledging the nature of the test, especially when it openly produces rocket motors for well-known, non-controversial Israeli missiles, including the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 air defense systems and the Shavit satellite launcher.“Why didn’t Tomer just say it was a solid rocket motor test? The fact that Israel produces large solid rocket motors for, among other systems, the Shavit space launch vehicle is no secret. There isn’t really any reason to be coy, it’s just… a habit. A culture that evolved in a past era and has yet to adapt to the current one,” Lewis said.

Iraqis blame hospital fire on mismanagement as health minister suspended-Death of over 80 people in a Baghdad COVID-19 hospital blaze seen as further proof of deadly consequences of corruption-By Sarah Benhaida and Ammar Karim-25 April 2021, 4:28 pm

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AFP) — The death of over 80 people in a Baghdad Covid-19 hospital fire was seen by Iraqis Sunday as more proof of the deadly consequences of mismanagement and corruption.Iraqis, some of whom evacuated the injured themselves, blamed Health Minister Hassan al-Tamimi, who was suspended Sunday, with calls for him to be sacked resounding across social media.The deadly inferno broke out overnight Sunday at Baghdad’s Ibn al-Khatib hospital, blamed on poorly stored oxygen cylinders.The interior ministry said 82 people were killed and 110 people injured.An official with the Iraqi Human Rights Commission said 28 of those killed were patients who were taken off critical ventilators to escape the flames.The evacuation was slow, painful and chaotic, with patients and their relatives crammed into stairwells as they scrambled for exits.President Barham Saleh tweeted on Sunday “the tragedy at Ibn al-Khatib is the result of years of erosion of state institutions by corruption and mismanagement.”A doctor at the hospital said that “in the whole Covid intensive care unit, there were no emergency exits or fire prevention systems.”Witnesses and doctors told AFP many bodies had yet to be identified, the remains too charred by the intense flames.‘Mismanagement’ to blame“It’s mismanagement that killed these people,” the doctor added, who, on condition of anonymity, angrily listed the hospital’s many shortcomings.“Managers walk around smoking in the hospital where oxygen cylinders are stored,” he said. “Even in intensive care, there are always two or three friends or relatives at a patient’s bedside.”And, he added, “this doesn’t just happen at Ibn al-Khatib, it’s like this in all the public hospitals.”“When equipment breaks down, our director tells us not to report it,” said a nurse, in another hospital in Baghdad. “He says it would give a bad image of his establishment, but in reality, we have nothing that works.”These institutions — which until the 1980s were the pride of Iraq, known across the Arab world for its free, high quality public health services — are now seen as an embarrassment by many.Their equipment is outdated, staff are poorly trained and buildings crumbling.In Iraq, the health sector only accounts for two percent of the budget, despite the country being one of the most oil-rich in the world.These issues were raised in a 2017 public report on the Iraqi health sector.According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Iraq only has 13 hospital beds and eight doctors for every 10,000 people. Forty years ago, there were 19 beds per person.Moreover, with corruption rife and the drug market unregulated, speculation has driven prices through the roof.From oxygen cylinders to vitamin C tablets, prices have risen threefold or more since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.-Iraqis fend for themselves-Many Iraqis have long opted to go abroad for operations and treatment, mainly to neighboring Iran and Syria, where currency devaluations in recent years have upped their purchasing power.For Iraqis, thousands of whom protested for months starting in October 2019 against widespread corruption, the breakdown of public services is the direct result of years of nepotism and political self-preservation.On Sunday, Iraqis questioned if the suspended health minister would be sacked, because he is backed by the powerful Shiite Muslim leader Moqtada Sadr.Local and hospital officials have already been suspended over the fire and are being questioned, but they are only scapegoats, angry social media users say.In the face of an intransigent status quo and leaders they consider “corrupt” and “incompetent,” Iraqis have long fended for themselves.As the fire raged Sunday, it was young men, bare-chested with their shirts as face masks against the acrid smoke, who pulled the injured from the burning building, loaded ambulances and helped survivors escape.

THEN BROUGHT BEFORE JESUS FOR THE FINAL ETERNAL BURNING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE (GEHENNA) FOREVER-NEVER ENDING. SO WE CHRISTANS-JEWS-CONSERVATIVES AND TRUMP-LINDELL. FEAR NOT-THE DEMOLIBNUTCASES WILL BE JUDGED FOR ALL THEIR CORRUPTION AND SEWER RAT HITLER LIES. AND PAYOFFS AND PAYOUTS TO DESTROY TRUMP AND LINDELL. THESE TWO ARE BEING USED BY GOD. AND THESE DEMOLIBNUTS WHO ALL SET UP AND TRYED TO DESTROY THESE TWO. ARE DIRECTLY COMING AGAINST GOD. AND THEY WILL PAY BIGTIME. GOD WILL REVEAL THEIR SINS TO THE WORLD. BEFORE DESTROYING THEM LIKE GOD DID AGAINST EGYPT IN THE SEA. OR JUST LIKE GOD REKNEWED THE EARTH BY PURIFYING IT INTO A FRESH START WITH A FLOOD OF 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS OF RAIN.

Democrats file second impeachment against Trump in Senate ahead of trial-Prosecutors deliver sole charge of ‘incitement of insurrection’ amid signs that Republicans are easing off criticism of former president for role in prompting storming of Capitol-By LISA MASCARO and MARY CLARE JALONICK-JAN 26,21-Today, 2:40 am

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats marched the impeachment case against Donald Trump to the US Senate Monday night for the start of his historic trial, but Republican senators were easing off their criticism of the former president and shunning calls to convict him over the deadly siege at the US Capitol.It’s an early sign of Trump’s enduring sway over the party.The House prosecutors delivered the sole impeachment charge of “incitement of insurrection,” making the ceremonial walk across the Capitol to the Senate. But Republican denunciations of Trump have cooled since the Jan. 6 riot. Instead Republicans are presenting a tangle of legal arguments against the legitimacy of the trial and questions whether Trump’s repeated demands to overturn Joe Biden’s election really amounted to incitement.What seemed for some Democrats like an open-shut case that played out for the world on live television, as Trump encouraged a rally mob to “fight like hell” for his presidency, is running into a Republican Party that feels very differently. Not only are there legal concerns, but senators are wary of crossing the former president and his legions of followers who are their voters. Security remains tight at the Capitol.Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said if Congress starts holding impeachment trials of former officials, what’s next: “Could we go back and try President Obama?”Besides, he suggested, Trump has already been held to account. “One way in our system you get punished is losing an election.”Arguments in the Senate trial will begin the week of Feb. 8, and the case against Trump, the first former president to face impeachment trial, will test a political party still sorting itself out for the post-Trump era. Republican senators are balancing the demands of deep-pocketed donors who are distancing themselves from Trump and voters who demand loyalty to him. One Republican, Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, announced Monday he would not seek reelection in 2022 citing the polarized political atmosphere.President Donald Trump speaks during a rally protesting the electoral college certification of Joe Biden as president, shortly before the assault on the US Capitol, Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)-For Democrats the tone, tenor and length of the upcoming trial, so early in Biden’s presidency, poses its own challenge, forcing them to strike a balance between their vow to hold Trump accountable and their eagerness to deliver on the new administration’s priorities following their sweep of control of the House, Senate and White House.Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Republicans appear more eager to argue over trial process than the substance of the impeachment case against Trump, perhaps to avoid casting judgment on the former president’s “role in fomenting the despicable attack” on the Capitol.He said there’s only one question “senators of both parties will have to answer before God and their own conscience: Is former President Trump guilty of inciting an insurrection against the United States?”Failing to conduct the trial would amount to a “get-out-jail-free card” for other officials accused of wrongdoing on their way out the door, Schumer said.On Monday, it was learned that Chief Justice John Roberts is not expected to preside at the trial, as he did during Trump’s first impeachment, potentially affecting the gravitas of the proceedings. The shift is said to be in keeping with protocol because Trump is no longer in office.Instead, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D- Vt., who serves in the largely ceremonial role of Senate president pro-tempore, is set to preside.Leaders in both parties agreed to a short delay in the proceedings that serves their political and practical interests, even as National Guard troops remain at the Capitol amid security threats on lawmakers ahead of the trial.The start date gives Trump’s new legal team time to prepare its case, while also providing more than a month’s distance from the passions of the bloody riot. For the Democratic-led Senate, the intervening weeks provide prime time to confirm some of Biden’s key Cabinet nominees.Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., questioned how his colleagues who were in the Capitol that day could see the insurrection as anything other than a “stunning violation” of the nation’s history of peaceful transfers of power.“It is a critical moment in American history,” Coons said Sunday in an interview.An early vote to dismiss the trial probably would not succeed, given that Democrats now control the Senate. Still, the mounting Republican opposition to the proceedings indicates that many GOP senators would eventually vote to acquit Trump. Democrats would need the support of 17 Republicans — a high bar — to convict him.Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said he doesn’t believe the Senate has the constitutional authority to convict Trump after he has left office.“I think a lot of Americans are going to think it’s strange that the Senate is spending its time trying to convict and remove from office a man who left office a week ago,” Cotton said.Democrats reject that argument, pointing to an 1876 impeachment of a secretary of war who had already resigned and to opinions by many legal scholars. Democrats also say that a reckoning of the first invasion of the Capitol since the War of 1812, perpetrated by rioters egged on by a president as Electoral College votes were being tallied, is necessary to ensure such a siege never happens again.A few GOP senators have agreed with Democrats, though not close to the number that will be needed to convict Trump.Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said he believes “what is being alleged and what we saw, which is incitement to insurrection, is an impeachable offense.” Romney said, “If not, what is?”But Romney, the lone Republican to vote to convict Trump when the Senate acquitted the then-president in last year’s trial, appears to be an outlier.

Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill is in trouble, and Democrats might not be able to pass the next round of stimulus until March-Jake Lahut-JAN 25,21

With tight margins between the two parties in Congress, President Joe Biden is already confronting both political and logistical hurdles to his $1.9 trillion stimulus plan.The new round of coronavirus relief may not get a vote until mid-March, when the $300 weekly unemployment assistance program expires, according to Punchbowl News.Last week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will be ready to vote on the bill by the first week of February. However, things get complicated once the focus turns to the Senate side. With the filibuster rule currently in place, the bill could get derailed unless the Democrats can get 10 Republicans to join them in closing debate and moving on with a vote on the bill, a process known as cloture.Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnnell holds substantial leverage over the process, given the 50-50 split and power sharing agreement between the two parties.And two members of the Democratic caucus in the Senate might prevent the stimulus package from passing  as its currently written.en. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Sen. Angus King of Maine have objected to certain aspects of the proposal, such as direct payments going to families making up to $300,000 per year.As Insider's Joseph Zeballos-Roig reported last week, Manchin in particular will wield substantial influence over any major legislation pushed by Biden and the Democrats.Manchin is a moderate who holds several positions at odds with the Democratic consensus, particularly when it comes to deficit spending and climate change. He supports the coal industry and has expressed skepticism over an overly broad use of direct payments.There is a way for the Democrats to try and pass the bill without the 60 vote filibuster-proof majority, but Manchin once again stands in the way.Instead of going down the conventional path, Democrats could use the budget reconciliation process, which would allow them to pass Biden's bill with just 51 votes. Theoretically, that could happen with no Republican support, with Vice President Kamala Harris coming in to break the tie.Sen. Bernie Sanders, the new chairman of the budget committee, has advocated for using budget reconciliation on a variety of issues going back to his 2020 presidential campaign. Sanders once again called for it over the weekend, saying Democrats cannot "wait weeks and weeks" for GOP support.White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki did not rule out budget reconciliation in one of her press briefings last week.Yet budget reconciliation is not necessarily a faster way to pass the bill than getting 60 votes to clear the filibuster. A so-called vote-a-rama comes with budget reconciliation, so instead of worrying about getting enough Republicans on board to avoid a filibuster, any Senator could propose an amendment to be tacked onto the bill. The last time this happened was in 2017, when more than 700 amendments were debated on the Trump tax cuts.This time around, there could be more than 1,000, according to Punchbowl.Once all of that is out of the way, multiple House and Senate committees would need to essentially rewrite the bill. The scope of the Biden stimulus plan would require more committees than usual to get involved in that process, which is normally dominated by the House Ways and Means Committee along with the Senate Finance Committee.It's still early for the Biden administration, but a lot will need to go their way simultaneously for the stimulus package to land on the president's desk by February.The coronavirus pandemic-The 5th largest school district in the US announced a plan to phase back into in-person learning after a rise in student suicides.

Congresswoman and QAnon supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene announces articles of impeachment against Biden-Julie Gerstein-Jan 21, 2021, 11:30 PM

One day after President Joe Biden was inaugurated, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she was introducing articles of impeachment against him.The Georgia lawmaker made waves even before she joined Congress given her support for the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory; her claim that the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, was a hoax; and her long history of racist and anti-Semitic beliefs.In a statement released Thursday, Greene, who represents Georgia's 14th Congressional District, said: "President Joe Biden is unfit to hold the office of the Presidency. His pattern of abuse of power as President Obama's Vice President is lengthy and disturbing."Greene then went on to claim that Biden had committed a quid pro quo with Ukrainian officials while he was vice president to help his son "siphon cash from America's greatest enemies Russian and China."Republicans have repeatedly accused Biden of inappropriately leveraging his role as vice president to boost his son Hunter's business interests. A GOP-led Senate committee, however, conducted a months-long investigation into the matter and found no evidence to support the claim.Multiple witnesses who testified in President Donald Trump's first impeachment also said the allegations had no merit. Hunter Biden is under criminal investigation over his financial affairs, but there is no evidence that the president is a subject of interest to federal prosecutors.Greene said Biden should be impeached for "enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors, by allowing his son to influence the domestic policy of a foreign nation and accept various benefits — including financial compensation — from foreign nationals in exchange for certain favors."Greene's announcement relied largely on unsubstantiated claims floated in a New York Post story last year that Hunter Biden used his father's government position to do business deals in Russia. The Post's story was coordinated by Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani and was widely met with skepticism. The FBI is investigating whether the laptop at the center of the story was part of a foreign influence operation.Along with filing the articles of impeachment, Greene asked supporters to text and sign a petition and donate funds to her impeachment filing, though language on the donations page specifies that the donations are being made to "Greene for Congress" and "will be used in connection with federal elections."Both chambers of Congress are controlled by Democrats, making it virtually impossible that Greene's impeachment push will move forward. It's also unlikely that she'll get much support from within her own party; following the insurrection at the Capitol, the prevailing sentiment among the GOP establishment was that it was time to move forward and acknowledge Biden's victory.Greene's announcement this week is the latest in a series of controversies she's been embroiled in since joining the House. When she was sworn in January 4, Greene refused to put on a mask and left the House floor, prompting a shouting match between.Democratic and Republican staffers.On Sunday, Greene's Twitter account was suspended for 12 hours after she suggested in a now-deleted tweet that Trump supporters "mobilize and make your voices heard in opposition to these attacks on our liberties" ahead of Biden's inauguration.Greene is one of two members of Congress — along with Rep. Laura Boebert of Colorado — who have expressed support for QAnon, the baseless right-wing conspiracy theory that alleged Trump as president was secretly fighting a "deep state" Satanic cabal of child-eating pedophiles.The FBI warned in August 2019 that conspiracy theories like QAnon posed a domestic-terrorism threat. This year, it surfaced that many of the Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol were QAnon believers.Emails to Greene's office were not immediately returned.
   
Congress to implement new safety protocols after Capitol siege, including metal detectors and mask requirements-Oma Seddiq-Jan 12, 2021, 6:14 PM

Congress implemented new safety measures on Tuesday in response to the Capitol breach last week, when a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the building and forced a lockdown.The acting House Sergeant-at-Arms, Timothy Blodgett, sent a notice informing "all persons," including lawmakers, staffers and reporters, that they will be subject to security screenings starting at 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Metal detectors have been set up outside the House chamber. The Senate has not yet issued any additional protocols."Failure to complete screening or the carrying of prohibited items could result in denial of access to the Chamber," the memo read.The latest procedures come after the Capitol erupted into chaos last Wednesday, leaving Washington, DC, along with the rest of the nation concerned over the security failures. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice on Tuesday stated that they have opened an unprecedented investigation into the Capitol siege, opening more than 160 subject files and charging 70 cases so far. Threats of additional violence also loom ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20. Since the turmoil, at least three members of Congress have also tested positive for coronavirus. They have pointed blame to several members, particularly Republicans, who had been maskless while sheltering-in-place last week.Blodgett, who recently became the House's chief law-enforcement officer after Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving resigned last week, emphasized on Tuesday that Congress members are "required to wear masks when entering and while in the Chamber." "Members not wearing a mask will not be admitted to the Floor and Members who fail to wear a mask will be removed from the Floor," the notice stated.The House is also swiftly moving to impose a fine system that would penalize members who refuse to wear a mask, according to a senior Democratic aide, reported by multiple news outlets. It includes a $500 fine for a first-time offense and $2,500 for a second offense, which would be deducted from the lawmaker's pay. The language will be considered on Tuesday evening during a vote on Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin's resolution that calls on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. Insider has previously reported that Pence has opposed the idea, though the House is expected to pass the measure.In the notice, Blodgett also reminded Congress members that any firearms they carry are "restricted to a Member's Office," reiterating a 1967 rule that lawmakers are allowed to keep guns in their offices. Freshman Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado released an ad last week, before the riots, in which she said that she intends to carry her glock around DC and the Capitol.

Voter fraud is real, just not on the scale claimed by Trump-Politics by Mark Pazniokas November 13, 2020 Keith M. Phaneuf :: CTMirror.org

Michael J. Brandi, executive director of the State Elections Enforcement Commission.President Donald J. Trump is correct in saying voter fraud is real. And if he were a losing candidate for, say, the Board of Representatives in Stamford, Conn., in 2015, Trump might have a valid claim he was robbed. But not in the 2020 race for president.All evidence points to voter fraud as local, small-scale and relatively rare — not national or assembly-line efficient. A dozen or so improperly obtained absentee ballots can conceivably tip a close local election, as was alleged to have happened in Stamford five years ago. It never has been pervasive or scalable.Trump’s unsupported claim Thursday that 2.7 million votes were somehow deleted or altered in electronic voting systems provoked a remarkable rebuke from within his own administration about the president’s ignorance, willful or not, about how U.S. elections are conducted.“All of the states with close results in the 2020 presidential race have paper records of each vote, allowing the ability to go back and count each ballot if necessary,” said a cybersecurity panel within the Department of Homeland Security. “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”“REPORT: DOMINION DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE. DATA ANALYSIS FINDS 221,000 PENNSYLVANIA VOTES SWITCHED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BIDEN. 941,000 TRUMP VOTES DELETED. STATES USING DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS SWITCHED 435,000 VOTES FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN.” @ChanelRion @OANN — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2020-Dominion Voting Systems provides software used by elections officials in several battleground states.“While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too. When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections,” said the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, part of Homeland Security.In Connecticut, Michael J. Brandi, the executive director and general counsel of the State Elections Enforcement Commission, said the president’s unfounded accusations undermine the public confidence in elections.Insurance Matters - 728 x 90 - V1-“I think it does an incredible disservice to all the dedicated elections officials across the country. It impacts people’s faith in elections. That’s the core of our democracy, and it shouldn’t be,” Brandi said.That’s not to say mistakes aren’t made — or that fraud doesn’t happen.There is at least one documented case of someone registering and voting in two different towns in the same election in Connecticut. In another, SEEC could neither prove nor disprove that someone voted twice, faulting local election records that should have left no doubt.Brandi said those cases are extremely rare. Connecticut has a statewide database that allows local officials to ensure a voter is registered only in one community, and the state is one of 30 participating in ERIC, the Electronic Registration Information Center, which allows cross-state checks.“Absolutely, mistakes are made,” Brandi said. “There’s a lot of human process in this. And it happens, but we have so many checks and balances within the system that those mistakes are caught and corrected as soon as possible.”Connecticut had such an incident this year. It is not clear how, but results from one of the nine polling places in the 90th House District of Cheshire and Wallingford were not uploaded to the state’s election management system. Democrat Jim Jinks was deemed the winner until Monday, when Wallingford officials discovered the error.The corrected results gave Rep. Craig Fishbein, R-Wallingford, a 21-vote win, a margin that prompted an automatic recount. On Friday, a recount witnessed by representatives of both candidates confirmed Fishbein as the winner by 17 votes.“It’s good to know it does work,” said Barbara Thompson, the town clerk of Wallingford. “You can believe in the results.”In Connecticut, votes are cast by paper ballots and counted by optical scanners, which are not linked to the internet, providing both a paper trail and a safeguard against hacking. In the 90th District recount, every paper ballot was fed through the scanner again.Most of the elections enforcement fraud cases involve absentee ballots. In 2015, officials say, a Democratic Party official in Stamford submitted as many as 29 forged absentee ballots applications in a case that both exposed weaknesses and safeguards in the system. He later was accused of fraudulently obtaining 14 ballots.The clerk’s office then erred by giving the official absentee ballots to deliver, rather than follow state law and mail them.Brandi said the scheme was uncovered by the ultimate check and balance: On election day, one of the voters whose name had been forged on an application turned up at the polls to vote. He was allowed to vote, but the absentee ballot cast in his name was impounded and referred to the State Elections Enforcement Commission.The resulting investigation led to a criminal referral to the Chief State’s Attorney’s office and the arrest of John Mallozzi, who then was the Democratic town chair. His case is pending.The commission also has a pending investigation of allegations of absentee ballot fraud in a municipal election in Bridgeport.While Trump complained this year that absentee and mail-in ballots were vulnerable to  fraud, his concern four years ago was about the dead: He complained that the failure by the states to regularly update voter rolls and strike the names of the dead left the system open to fraud. He cited a report issued in 2012 by the Pew Center on the States to back up his claim that the dead vote, and plenty of them remain on the rolls.But the Pew report never suggested evidence of widespread voting using the names of the dead. Rather, it was a call to update voter registration systems so that they more quickly reflect voters who move and, yes, those who die.Playing it Safe - 728 x 90 V2-The dead occasionally are marked as voting. But in every case investigated by elections officials in Connecticut, it has turned out to be a clerical error, not fraud. Typically, a father and son have the same name. The father dies, the son votes — but the father is wrongly checked off as voting, not the son.In 2014, a sharp-eyed official in Watertown found what appeared to be an open-and-shut case of fraud when an absentee ballot  arrived in the mail from a man known to be dead. A complaint was filed, and the ballot set aside for investigators. But when they opened the envelope with the ballot, investigators found evidence of honesty, not fraud.Inside was an unmarked ballot with a sticky note affixed by the man’s widow: “George Died 9-17-2014.”The case was closed.

First Israeli minister makes Sudan visit after normalization-Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen leads delegation for first meetings with Sudanese leaders since Khartoum signed Abraham Accords-By TOI staff and Agencies-JAN 26,21-Today, 6:09 am

Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen visited Sudan on Monday, becoming the first Israeli minister to visit the Arab country following the recent signing of a normalization deal between the two countries.Cohen led a delegation from his ministry and from the National Security Council, holding talks with senior Sudanese officials, including Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, head of the ruling sovereign council, and Defense Minister Yassin Ibrahim.Cohen signed a memorandum of understanding with Ibrahim on security-related issues and invited Sudanese leaders to visit Israel, Israel’s Kan public broadcaster reported.Details of the understandings were not immediately released.After a brief trip, Cohen returned to Israel just in time before a week-long shutdown of the airport as part of efforts to control the spread of coronavirus variants into Israel.Sudan earlier this month signed the “Abraham Accords” with the United States, paving the way for the African country to normalize ties with Israel.Now-former US treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin and Sudanese Justice Minister Nasredeen Abdulbari inked the deal, a largely symbolic document indicating Sudan’s intentions to move forward with normalization. The memorandum did not officially establish diplomatic ties between Khartoum and Jerusalem, a move that is expected to happen in the near future, at an as yet undetermined date.US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin (L) and Sudanese Justice Minister Nasredeen Abdulbari sign the Abraham Accords in Sudan’s capital Khartoum, January 6, 2021. (Screen capture: Facebook)-Recent US-negotiated deals between Arab and Muslim countries and Israel have been a major foreign policy achievement by former US president Donald Trump’s administration.The deals were named the Abraham Accords after the biblical patriarch revered by Muslims and Jews.The signing came just over two months after Trump announced that Sudan would start to normalize ties with Israel.Before Sudan, the administration engineered diplomatic pacts late last year between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Morocco also reestablished diplomatic relations with Israel, after cutting ties in 2000 in solidarity with Palestinians during the Second Intifada.The accords have also contributed to the severe isolation and weakening of the Palestinians by eroding a longstanding Arab consensus that recognition of Israel should only be given in return for concessions in the peace process.Mnuchin’s visit was the first by a senior American official since Trump’s administration removed the African country from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism in a deal that saw Sudan normalize its ties with Israel.Sudan is on a fragile path to democracy after a popular uprising led the military to overthrow longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. The county is now ruled by a joint military and civilian government that seeks better ties with Washington and the West.The government has been struggling with a huge budget deficit and widespread shortages of essential goods, including fuel, bread and medicine.Annual inflation soared past 200% in the past months as prices of bread and other staples surged, according to official figures.In December, Trump’s administration finalized the removal of Sudan from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism. The move was a key incentive for the government in Khartoum to normalize relations with Israel.Sudan’s economy has suffered from decades of US sanctions and mismanagement under al-Bashir, who had ruled the country since a 1989 Islamist-backed military coup.The designation dates back to the 1990s, when Sudan briefly hosted al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and other wanted terrorists. Sudan was also believed to have served as a pipeline for Iran to supply weapons to Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip.

Analysis-Boxed-in Turkey tries to rekindle ties, but Israel can now play hard to get-Erdogan is eager to turn the page, as old antagonist Biden assumes office, but Jerusalem, sitting pretty with gas alliances and new Arab friends, will have some demands-By Lazar Berman-JAN 26,21-Today, 3:25 am

For over a decade, Turkey has been one of Israel’s most bitter critics on the international stage. Anti-Israel rhetoric from top officials, led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, verged on the apoplectic, and Ankara also took actions that angered officials in Jerusalem, most notably providing support for the Hamas terror group.In recent weeks though, Erdogan has struck a noticeably different tone toward Israel, expressing his interest in improving ties with Turkey’s erstwhile ally.“Our heart desires that we can move our relations with them to a better point,” he said in December.The sea change is being driven by global and regional shifts that have pushed Ankara’s back against the wall: isolated from Europe and many Arab states, it is facing a potentially unfriendly White House, while its economy continues to get buffeted by the pandemic.Opening a new chapter with Israel could help bring it back in the West’s good graces and restore a fruitful military relationship.But Israel’s place in the region has also changed, driving up the price of friendship. Unlike in 2016, the last time the countries reached a detente, Israel now enjoys enhanced ties with countries in the eastern Mediterranean and an unprecedented wave of normalization agreements with Arab states.“What Turkey has yet to figure out is that it is no longer an indispensable partner for Israel,” said Selin Nasi, a Turkish international relations scholar, currently based in London.-Going cold Turkey-Turkey’s on-again, off-again relationship with Israel goes back to the founding of the Jewish state.Turkey aligned itself firmly with the West against the Soviet Union after World War II, including joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but voted against the 1947 UN Partition Plan for Palestine, which would have created a Jewish state alongside an Arab one.Then, once it became convinced of Israel’s pro-Western orientation, Turkey became the first Muslim-majority nation to recognize the new State of Israel in 1949.After initial optimism and alignment of interests, Turkey recalled its ambassador from Israel in the wake of the 1956 Suez Crisis.Disagreements with the US over Cyprus, which it invaded in 1974, led Turkey to adopt a more balanced foreign policy, improving ties with the USSR and its Arab allies during the 1960s and 1970s. Turkey even supported the infamous 1975 “Zionism is a form of racism” UN resolution.There were moves toward reconciliation with Israel in 1986, but Turkey regularly criticized the Jewish state as a human rights violator during the first Intifada in the late 1980s and early 1990s.The breakthrough came with the start of the Madrid peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, which led to Turkey and Israel returning their ambassadors in 1992. Trade and tourism flourished, and the sides signed agreements in 1994 that marked the beginning of intensive security cooperation. Iranian fundamentalism and Syria’s support for Kurdish PKK fighters alarmed Ankara, and strategic ties with Israel were seen as crucial by the secular establishment, especially the military.Defense ties were further enhanced in 1997 in the wake of the first visit to Israel by the Turkish military chief of staff: Turkish warships made a port of call in Haifa that year and regular naval exercises began. Israeli pilots trained in Turkey and likely took off from Turkish bases to conduct reconnaissance missions against Syria, Iraq, and Iran.The positive ties began to unravel when Erdogan’s populist Justice and Development Party, also known as the AKP, came to power in 2002. As prime minister, he sought to reorient Turkish policy away from a security-based posture against traditional threats like Syria — which had driven Israel and Turkey closer together — to one aimed at positive relations with its other neighbors. While the Second Intifada raged, Erdogan turned down invitations to meet with senior Israeli officials, but still tried to play a constructive role as a mediator in covert Israel-Syria peace talks. And Turkey continued to buy arms from Israel, which in turn sold more arms to Turkey than to anywhere but India between 2000 and 2010.In late 2008, Israel launched Operation Cast Lead against Hamas in Gaza only two days after a meeting between Erdogan and then-prime minister Ehud Olmert in Ankara. Olmert declined to inform his counterpart of the impending operation, and the proximity of the meeting to the offensive was seen as embarrassing to Erdogan, who feared being seen as complicit, and harmful to Turkey’s improved ties with the Arab world.Erdogan led the chorus of intense international criticism of Israel for its Gaza policies, including a very public verbal spat with then-president Shimon Peres during a panel in Davos in January 2009. “When it comes to killing, you know well how to kill,” declared Erdogan before storming off-stage.The wheels came off in May 2010, when Israeli naval commandoes opened fire, after being attacked, as they intercepted a flotilla to Gaza; 10 Turkish activists on the flagship Mavi Marmara died in the melee. Ankara withdrew its ambassador and expelled Israel’s envoy, as ties reached their nadir.There was moderate improvement in 2013, after US president Barack Obama orchestrated a phone call between Benjamin Netanyahu and Erdogan, in which the Israeli PM offered a carefully worded apology. But ongoing Turkish criticism over Israel’s blockade of Gaza and military actions against Hamas kept the two sides at odds.Amidst shared concerns over Iranian influence in Syria and Turkish interest in Israeli natural gas, Ankara and Jerusalem formally resolved their differences in June 2016. Full diplomatic relations were restored, among other positive gestures like Turkish help during wildfires in Israel that year.The reconciliation did not last, however. Turkey recalled its ambassador and asked Israel’s envoy to leave in May 2018, in the wake of violent protests on the Israel-Gaza border, in which dozens of Palestinians were killed. Turkish and Israeli leaders criticized each other bitterly, with Erdogan calling Israel a “child-murderer” country and Netanyahu accusing Erdogan of killing Kurdish civilians.Through the ups and downs, though, the sides never completely broke off ties, and while tourism has suffered, the countries have maintained trade and quiet diplomatic activity.Since May, a new rapprochement process has been underway. That month, an El Al plane landed in Turkey for the first time in a decade, and reports emerged that Turkey would return its ambassador to Tel Aviv.In his December remarks hoping for improved ties, Erdogan stressed that the intelligence relationship between the sides had never ceased. Unlike other rhetoric of his on Israel, much of which is seen as populist and meant for domestic consumption only, his comments now are being taken seriously.“Erdogan’s statement is meaningful,” explained Dr. Gallia Lindenstrauss, a senior research fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. “It is similar to his statement before the 2016 normalization agreement. So it certainly is a testament to serious intentions on the Turkish side.”Jiltin’ Joe-There are several pressing reasons for Turkey to mend its ties with Israel.First and foremost is the history of personal acrimony between Erdogan and incoming US President Joe Biden.For most of US president Donald Trump’s term, the president’s chemistry with Erdogan was enough to maintain reasonably constructive US-Turkey relations in the face of conflicting regional interests and anti-Erdogan sentiment in Congress. Turkey’s decision to purchase the Russian S-400 air defense system proved more than the personal relationship could bear, so the Trump administration evicted Turkey from the F-35 fighter jet project, and finally sanctioned its fellow NATO member in December 2020.With Biden, there is no love lost.In 2014, then-vice president Biden had to apologize to Erdogan, after he stated in a speech that Erdogan’s policies had contributed to the rise of the Islamic State.In the Turkish press, Biden was described as one of the perpetrators of the 2016 attempted military coup against Erdogan, according to Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, a Turkey scholar at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security. The Obama administration also refused a Turkish request following the coup to extradite Fethullah Gulen, the cleric Erdogan blames for instigating it.More recently, as a presidential candidate in 2020, Biden described Erdogan as an “autocrat” in The New York Times and said that the US should “make it clear that we support opposition leadership.”“He has to pay a price,” said Biden, stressing that the US should enable opposition figures to “be able to take on and defeat Erdogan.”Erdogan spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said Biden’s statements were “based on pure ignorance, arrogance, and hypocrisy.”“The days of ordering Turkey around are over,” Kalin wrote at the time, adding ominously, “But if you still think you can try, be our guest. You will pay the price.”The analysis of Turkey by @JoeBiden is based on pure ignorance, arrogance and hypocrisy.The days of ordering Turkey around are over.But if you still think you can try, be our guest.You will pay the price. — Ibrahim Kalin (@ikalin1) August 16, 2020-Erdogan was one of the last world leaders to congratulate Biden on his win. According to reports, Biden has yet to accept Erdogan’s offer to speak on the phone.“The current shift in Turkish foreign policy derives from the fact that there is new leadership in Washington,” said Cohen.“Erdogan is trying to mend the fences with Joe Biden. In order to do that, he launched a new rapprochement not only with the United States, but also with the United States’ allies, meaning Israel and the European Union.”Rivals all around-Beyond the US, Turkey finds itself increasingly isolated, and could face a pro-Western regional rivalry hardening into a determined anti-Turkish bloc, amid pushback over aggressive gas exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean and military offensives.For the better part of a decade, Turkey has been engaged in a bitter rivalry with Egypt that began when Erdogan backed the Muslim Brotherhood. after the group was ousted from power in Cairo.The rivalry between the Sunni Muslim powers has metastasized into other areas and split the Middle East, with Turkey and Qatar leading a pro-Islamist faction, and Egypt siding with Saudi Arabia and the UAE in a pro-Western camp.In the Mediterranean, Egypt has aligned itself with Greece and Cyprus, which accuse Turkey of illegally drilling for natural gas in their exclusive economic zones. Together with Israel, the countries formed the EastMed Gas Forum, headquartered in Cairo, and they have conducted joint military exercises.Ankara also faces worsening ties with Europe. Erdogan, who has stoked Islamist sentiment, infuriated French and EU officials by stating that President Emmanuel Macron needs “mental treatment,” for condemning the beheading of a teacher who showed a picture of the prophet Muhammed.Refugees have also been an ongoing sticking point, with Erdogan threatening to let refugees across the border into Greece if the EU does not keep its end of a 2016 refugee deal. EU leaders have also criticized Turkey for human rights abuses.Turkish military interventions are another cause for alarm in Europe. Members of the European Parliament called for sanctions against Turkey over its October 2019 military operation in northern Syria. France, which has emerged as a leader of the European anti-Turkish camp, has pushed EU sanctions on Turkey for its military involvement in the Libya civil war, Syria and Nagorno-Karabakh.Five of Turkey’s top 10 trading partners are in the EU and the threat of sanctions, backed by Cyprus and Greece, could not come at a worse time, with the country’s economy already banged up by the coronavirus pandemic.The Turkish lira had been in decline while inflation rose even before COVID-19 hit. Now these problems had taken on new dimensions: food prices skyrocketed as the lira lost 30 percent against the dollar.Erdogan has managed to reverse some of these trends, but the government will have to continue to invest significant sums into health care and social services to deal with the coronavirus and its aftereffects.Sustained economic growth was the key to Erdogan’s popularity among the Turkish working class as prime minister. and he may be feeling pressure to seek a new posture on the international stage to get the economy back on track.A hug from Israel won’t come cheap-In the face of increasing isolation and economic challenges, Turkey has made a decision to chart a new course in its foreign policy, including overtures to Greece and the EU.Restoring ties with Israel is a key part of Turkey’s new foreign policy direction.“In Turkey’s eyes, Israel is considered the representative of the US administration in the Middle East,” said Cohen.A more constructive relationship with Israel would help dampen anti-Erdogan sentiment on Capitol Hill and in the Biden administration, in Turkey’s calculation.And there is certainly potential for both sides to resolve their differences without stepping on too many of Ankara’s toes.“If you look at the outcomes, Ankara’s military presence in Syria, Libya, and Azerbaijan does not undermine either Israeli or American interests,” pointed out Nasi.Israel also has positive reasons to turn the page with Turkey. Syria, Iraq, and Iran all border Turkey, and renewed defense ties with Ankara would enhance Israeli military and intelligence activities in the region.“Turkey as a NATO member and a close ally of the United States is a strategic asset for Israel, and is good for national security,” stressed Cohen.But Turkey is discovering that Israel is not jumping at the opportunity to restore close ties.Israel’s burgeoning diplomatic and security relationship with Arab states has strengthened Israel’s position in the region. Israel has other avenues to engage diplomatically with the Muslim world, has new trade partners, and can now fly over Arab airspace to go east instead of being forced to rely on Turkey’s.The Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the possibility of improved ties, but it is likely that Israel will have three main demands in talks with Turkey.Protesters chant slogans as they wave Hamas, Turkish and Palestinian flags outside the residence of the Israeli ambassador in Ankara on May 14, 2018, during a demonstration against the opening of the new US embassy in Jerusalem. (AFP Photo/Adem Altan)-The first is an old demand: Turkey must cease allowing Hamas to plan military activities from its soil. Turkey agreed to forbid the terror group from carrying out any non-political activity in 2016, but in 2019, Israeli sources told The Telegraph that Turkey is allowing Hamas members to plan attacks from there. Last year, an Israeli diplomat said Erdogan had granted citizenship to 12 Hamas members.Israel will also want Turkey to be more transparent about its activities in East Jerusalem, according to Lindenstrauss. With the cooperation of Muslim Brotherhood groups in the city, Turkey is actively asserting itself in Arab neighborhoods and on the Temple Mount by initiating and funding cultural and political activities. Jordan and other Arab countries have reportedly asked Israel to do more to curb growing Turkish influence in Jerusalem.Finally, Israel will also likely demand Erdogan and Turkish officials tone down their harsh anti-Israel rhetoric, particularly around Israeli policies in Gaza.Since relations were not officially downgraded in 2018, Lindenstrauss pointed out, Turkey can opt to return its ambassador unilaterally, leaving Israel to decide when or whether to respond in kind.Despite Israel’s cautious response thus far to Turkish statements, they would welcome a return to normalcy if they believed it was sincere. “If all of these terms were met by the Turkish administration, every official in Jerusalem would rejoice and embrace such a genuine normalization,” argued Cohen.“Israel still wants to hug Turkey, but is not running into its arms.”
