beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and

2 With
whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN
POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the
wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into
the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast,
full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And
the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet
colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES
FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,
having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of
her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the
blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great
admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou
marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that
carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast
that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless
pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall
wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the
foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is
not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven
heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS
BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
10 And there are seven kings: five are
fallen,(1-ASSYRIA,2-EGYPT,3-BABYLON,4-MEDO-PERSIA,5-GREECE) and one

11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received
no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them:
for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him
are called, and chosen, and faithful.

waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and
multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE

16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the
beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her
desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and
give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be
fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Catholics Across the World Commemorate Good Friday-By Matthew Norman March 29, 2024
Now
that Good Friday is upon us, it is useful to understand what this day
and the rest of the Easter holiday means to Catholics, who see the day
as a time for fasting and mourning.Good Friday and Easter Sunday reminds
people of Jesus’ journey to the cross, and ultimately, his death,
burial, and the perils of evil defeating good. It is also emblematic of
good triumphing once again with the resurrection of Christ.The twelve
gospels are read on Holy Thursday evening while five are read on Good
Friday morning. These narrate the tragic events from the Evangelists’
point of view.Good Friday is a reminder for the faithful of Christ’s
betrayal and subsequent arrest, his interrogation and humiliation, his
death sentence ordered by the high priests and Pilate, and Peter’s
denial and repentance. It also recounts Christ’s road to calvary, as
well as his crucifixion, death, burial, and the closing of his
tomb.Jesus was crucified at nine o’clock in the morning, and his
unfathomable pain allegedly lasted for six hours until three in the
afternoon, when he died, saying: “It is finished.” At sunset, Joseph of
Arimathea and Nicodemus, two of Christ’s secret disciples, removed his
body from the cross and buried him in a rock-covered tomb.Pope Francis
presided over the liturgy of the Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus
Christ in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican on Good Friday afternoon.
Good Friday is the only day of the year on which there is no Holy
Mass.The Church celebrates the Solemn Liturgy of the Passion of the
Lord, consisting of three parts. These include the Liturgy of the Word,
culminating in the chanting of the Passion according to St. John; the
Adoration of the Cross; and reception of Holy Communion.HIGHLIGHTS | On
Good Friday, Pope Francis presided over the Celebration of the Lord's

2024-After the proclamation of the Passion, Cardinal Raniero
Cantalamessa, the Preacher of the Pontifical Household, delivered the
homily, taking as his starting point the passage: “When you lift up the
Son of Man, then you will realize that I Am” (Jn 8:28).Another part of
Easter Weekend at the Vatican is the Urbi et orbi blessing, which is a
cherished tradition in the city, where the Pope delivers his blessing to
the city of Rome and the entire world, from the balcony of St. Peter’s
Basilica.This blessing is said to symbolize the universal reach of the
Catholic Church and the message of hope and peace during Easter.An
Easter Vigil is also held at the Vatican on Saturday evening. This
includes lighting the Paschal candle, readings from scripture, and the
celebration of the Eucharist. This ceremony marks the anticipation of
Easter Sunday and the resurrection of Christ.Vatican Easter Mass usually
takes place on the morning of Easter Sunday, and this year it will
begin at 9:30 AM.Alongside these activities, during Easter week, more
generally, the Pope holds special papal audiences in the Vatican.
Pilgrims and visitors gather in St. Peter’s Square to receive blessings
and teachings from the Pope.Catholic Good Friday in Jerusalem-Even amid
the tumult of the current war in Gaza, the timeless tradition of the
humble observance of Good Friday by Christian Catholic pilgrims and
clergy members unfolds in Jerusalem’s Old City.Christians in Jerusalem
mark Good Friday with procession through Old City-Thousands solemnly
cross the Via Dolorosa and head towards the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher, some carrying wooden crosses, while echoing chants and hymns
reverberate in the background. This commemorates the sufferings of
Christ in a ritual aligned with the Catholic calendar.The Via Dolorosa, a
religious route within Jerusalem’s Old City, is said to mark Jesus’
journey to the cross after judgement by Pontius Pilate. While the
accuracy or authenticity of its historical location is debated, it
remains extremely significant as an ancient tradition.Christians marked
this year’s Good Friday in the Old City of Jerusalem, where they
followed the path which they believe was walked by Jesus Christ as he
carried his cross, known as the Via Crucis. pic.twitter.com/dWBCwSZGAX—
VOA Africa (@VOAAfrica) March 29, 2024-According to the Catholic
calendar, Holy Week began this year on Palm Sunday, March 24th and will
run until Easter Sunday, March 31st, with Good Friday being celebrated
today. The Orthodox Church, which utilizes the old Julian calendar,
observes Holy Friday (Good Friday) on May 3rd with Easter falling on
Sunday, May 5th.Philippines: Catholic devotees nailed to crosses to
re-enact crucifixion-In the Philippines, Catholic devotees were nailed
to crosses amidst sweltering heat north of the capital, Manila, on Good
Friday, in a re-enactment of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion. Approximately
20,000 Filipino and foreign tourists gathered in San Pedro Cutud village
in Pampanga province to witness this annual display of devotion, which
the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines disapproves of.Actors,
dressed as Roman soldiers, whipped devotees who carried crosses and
hammered three-inch nails through the hands and feet of three
individuals. These crucifixions represented the most extreme displays of
faith in the Philippines, a country where about 80% of its more than
110 million people identify as Roman Catholics.Filipino Catholics

90 Catholic
priests, scholars ask Church leaders to oppose same-sex blessings-By
Tyler Arnold-Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Feb 6, 2024 / 17:00 pm
A
group of 90 Catholic priests, scholars, and authors are asking bishops
and cardinals to reject a Vatican declaration that approved the
pastoral, nonliturgical blessings of same-sex couples and to refuse to
implement it within their dioceses.The coalition signed a “Filial
Appeal” addressed to the leaders of the Church, which asks them to
forbid any blessings of same-sex couples within their jurisdictions and
to directly ask Pope Francis to withdraw the document. The signatories
claim that the declaration Fiducia Supplicans contradicts “both
Scripture and the universal and uninterrupted Tradition of the Church”
and “produces a serious scandal.”“It is definitely not justifiable,
especially for a cardinal or a bishop, to remain silent, since the
scandal that has already occurred is serious and public, and if it is
not stopped, it is bound to be more and more amplified,” the letter
reads. “The threat does not become smaller but more serious, since the
error comes from the Roman See and is destined to scandalize all the
faithful.”The Vatican has justified the declaration by emphasizing a
distinction between liturgical blessings, which are not available to
same-sex couples, and pastoral blessings, which are now allowed. The
scholars in the letter are contesting the legitimacy of this distinction
as a means of justifying the blessings. Globally, bishops have been
divided on how to implement the declaration or whether to implement it
at all. What does Fiducia Supplicans say? The Vatican declaration, which
was published by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on Dec.
18, 2023, emphasizes a distinction between “liturgical” and “pastoral”
blessings.Liturgical blessings, the declaration asserts, are not
permitted for same-sex couples, because such a blessing “requires that
what is blessed be conformed to God’s will.” The Church does not have
the power to confer such blessings on same-sex couples because it would
“offer a form of moral legitimacy to a union that presumes to be a
marriage or to an extra-marital sexual practice,” the declaration
states.However, the declaration claims that pastoral blessings are
different. It states that pastoral blessings “are meant for everyone”
and “no one is to be excluded from them.” It states that priests can
provide pastoral blessings for same-sex couples “without officially
validating their status or changing in any way the Church’s perennial
teaching on marriage.” Such blessings, it adds, cannot “be performed
with any clothing, gestures, or words that are proper to a wedding.”
“Rites and prayers that could create confusion between what constitutes
marriage — which is the ‘exclusive, stable, and indissoluble union
between a man and a woman, naturally open to the generation of children’
— and what contradicts it are inadmissible,” the document reads.hy do
these scholars oppose the declaration? The scholars voicing objections
to Fiducia Supplicans say in their letter that the attempt to create a
distinction between liturgical and pastoral blessings is “impossible.”
Pastoral care, they argue “always presupposes a theory and … if pastoral
care performs something that does not correspond to the doctrine, what
is actually being proposed is a different doctrine.”Regardless of
whether the blessing is liturgical or pastoral, the letter claims that a
blessing has an “immediate communicative effect … [that] always implies
an approval of what is being blessed” even if the declaration claims
that is not the intent. It argues that the declaration has already been
interpreted as approval “by those few episcopates and prelates that for
decades have been openly advocating a change in the doctrine on sexual
morality” and by much of the public. “In practice, the faithful will not
even be aware of the subtle theoretical justifications introduced by
the declaration…,” the filial appeal continues. “The message that is
effectively launched, and that the people of God, and the entire world,
will inevitably register and are already registering is that: The
Catholic Church has finally evolved, and now accepts homosexual unions,
and, more generally, extramarital unions.”They add that the traditional
doctrines on sexual morality “must be considered infallible” and that
“this is a doctrine of the natural law, which does not allow for any
change.”“In this difficult moment, a clear word of truth would be the
best example of your faithful and courageous dedication to the people of
God entrusted to you, a sign of fidelity to the true mission of the
papacy and at the same time the best help for the pope himself, an
eloquent ‘fraternal correction,’ which he urgently needs in this last
and most critical period of his pontificate and probably of his life,”
the signatories implore the bishops and cardinals. Who has signed the
document so far? The 90 signatories include Catholic priests, scholars,
and authors from across North America, South America, Africa, Europe,
and Australia. The group aims to increase the number of signatories by a
Feb. 15 deadline and intends to publish a larger, more comprehensive
list by Feb. 17.Among the signatories are Thomas Ward, president of the
John Paul II Academy on Human Life and the Family; Dr. Michael Pakaluk,
professor of ethics and social philosophy at the Catholic University of
America and Father Robert Sirico, president of the St. John Henry Newman
Institute and founder of the Acton Institute.Other signatories include
German sociologist and author Gabriele Kuby, Dr. César Félix Sánchez
Martínez, professor of philosophy at the Universidad Nacional de San
Agustín, Perú; The Cornerstone Forum President Gil Bailie and Father
Gerald Murray, pastor of the Church of the Holy Family in New York
City.The letter has been published in several languages, including
English, Spanish, Italian, French, and German. How has the Vatican
responded to the controversy? Bishops around the world have taken a
variety of different approaches to the declaration. In some cases,
bishops have taken a broad view of the declaration, and in others, they
have taken a very narrow view. Some bishops, including numerous bishops’
conferences, have refused to implement it.Cardinal Victor Manuel
Fernández, prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the
Faith, responded to some of the backlash in a five-page press release on
Jan. 5. “There is no room to distance ourselves doctrinally from this
declaration or to consider it heretical, contrary to the Tradition of
the Church or blasphemous,” Fernández said, noting the declaration’s
language about marriage and sexual morality. “We can help God’s people
to discover that these kinds of blessings are just simple pastoral
channels that help people give expression to their faith, even if they
are great sinners,” the cardinal added. “For this reason, in giving a
blessing to two people who come together to ask for it spontaneously, we
are not consecrating them nor are we congratulating them nor indeed are
we approving that type of union.”
Pope formally allows priests to bless same-sex couples-World Dec 18, 2023 9:29 AM EDT
ROME
(AP) — Pope Francis has formally approved allowing priests to bless
same-sex couples, with a new document explaining a radical change in
Vatican policy by insisting that people seeking God’s love and mercy
shouldn’t be subject to “an exhaustive moral analysis” to receive it.The
document from the Vatican’s doctrine office, released Monday,
elaborates on a letter Francis sent to two conservative cardinals that
was published in October. In that preliminary response, Francis
suggested such blessings could be offered under some circumstances if
they didn’t confuse the ritual with the sacrament of marriage.The new
document repeats that rationale and elaborates on it, reaffirming that
marriage is a lifelong sacrament between a man and a woman. And it
stresses that blessings should not be conferred at the same time as a
civil union or even with the clothing and gestures that belong in a
wedding.But it says requests for such blessings should not be denied
full stop. It offers an extensive definition of the term “blessing” in
Scripture to insist that people seeking a transcendent relationship with
God and looking for his love and mercy should not be subject to “an
exhaustive moral analysis” as a precondition for receiving
it.“Ultimately, a blessing offers people a means to increase their trust
in God,” the document said. “The request for a blessing, thus,
expresses and nurtures openness to the transcendence, mercy, and
closeness to God in a thousand concrete circumstances of life, which is
no small thing in the world in which we live.”He added: “It is a seed of
the Holy Spirit that must be nurtured, not hindered.”

Pope Francis denounces ‘backward’ attitudes of conservatives in U.S. Catholic Church-World Aug 28, 2023 1:17 PM EDT
ROME
(AP) — Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some
conservatives in the U.S. Catholic Church, saying they have replaced
faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic
doctrine allows for change over time.Francis’ comments were an
acknowledgment of the divisions in the U.S. Catholic Church, which has
been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support
in the doctrinaire papacies of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI,
particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.Many
conservatives have blasted Francis’ emphasis instead on social justice
issues such as the environment and the poor, while also branding as
heretical his opening to letting divorced and civilly remarried
Catholics receive the sacraments.Francis made the comments in a private
meeting with Portuguese members of his Jesuit religious order while
visiting Lisbon on Aug. 5; the Jesuit journal La Civilta Cattolica,
which is vetted by the Vatican secretariat of state, published a
transcript of the encounter Monday.During the meeting, a Portuguese
Jesuit told Francis that he had suffered during a recent sabbatical year
in the United States because he came across many Catholics, including
some U.S. bishops, who criticized Francis’ 10-year papacy as well as
today’s Jesuits.The 86-year-old Argentine acknowledged his point, saying
there was “a very strong, organized, reactionary attitude” in the U.S.
church, which he called “backward.” He warned that such an attitude
leads to a climate of closure, which was erroneous.“Doing this, you lose
the true tradition and you turn to ideologies to have support. In other
words, ideologies replace faith,” he said.“The vision of the doctrine
of the church as a monolith is wrong,” he added. “When you go backward,
you make something closed off, disconnected from the roots of the
church,” which then has devastating effects on morality.“I want to
remind these people that backwardness is useless, and they must
understand that there’s a correct evolution in the understanding of
questions of faith and morals,” that allows for doctrine to progress and
consolidate over time.Francis has previously acknowledged the criticism
directed at him from some U.S. conservatives, once quipping that it was
an “honor” to be attacked by Americans.
What we know about the
Baltimore bridge collapse-A container ship lost power and rammed into a
major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing it to snap and plunge
into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and
rescuers are searching for survivors.By BEN FINLEY and JAMES
POLLARD-March 29, 2024
A cargo ship rammed into Baltimore’s
Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing the span to collapse and presumably
killing six construction workers. On Wednesday, a day after the
early-morning crash, officials with the National Transportation Safety
Board boarded the ship and planned to recover information from its
electronics and paperwork while divers searched for the bodies of
workers who were still missing.Here’s what we know so far about the
collapse:WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED? The operators of the Dali cargo ship
issued a mayday call moments before the crash early Tuesday saying the
vessel had lost power. But the 985-foot-long (300-meter-long) ship still
struck one of the 1.6-mile (2.6-kilometer) bridge’s supports at 8
knots, which is roughly 9 mph (15 kph). That caused the span to break
and fall into the water within seconds.Eight construction workers were
filling potholes on the bridge when the crash happened. Two were rescued
soon after the collapse. Divers recovered the bodies of two others and
the other four are presumed dead. Jeffrey Pritzker, executive vice
president of Brawner Builders, said they were working in the middle of
the span when it collapsed.An inspection of the Dali last June at a port
in Chile identified a problem with the ship’s “propulsion and auxiliary
machinery,” according to Equasis, a shipping information system. The
deficiency involved gauges and thermometers, but the website’s online
records didn’t elaborate.A “standard examination” conducted by the U.S.
Coast Guard in New York in September didn’t identify any deficiencies,
according to the Equasis data.Given the vessel’s massive weight, it
struck the bridge support with significant force, said Roberto Leon, a
Virginia Tech engineering professor. The post can resist the impact by
bending, Leon said, but cannot absorb the energy brought by such a
“humongous ship.”AP AUDIO: What we know about the Baltimore bridge
collapse.At a news conference, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy says they
will be looking at the bridge structure.Last June, federal inspectors
rated the 47-year-old bridge in fair condition. But the structure did
not appear to have pier protection to withstand the crash, experts
said.“If a bridge pier without adequate protection is hit by a ship of
this size, there is very little that the bridge could do,” Leon
said.Federal and state investigators have said the crash appears to have
been an accident.HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE MISSING? Two of the construction
workers who were on the bridge were rescued. The bodies of four of the
six others were still missing Thursday. Searchers recovered the bodies
of 35-year-old Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes and 26-year-old Dorlian
Ronial Castillo Cabrera on Wednesday. They were in a pickup truck
submerged in about 25 feet (7.6 meters) of water.The workers came to the
Maryland area from Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico, according to
diplomats from those countries.One worker, 38-year-old Maynor Yassir
Suazo Sandoval, came to the U.S. from Honduras nearly two decades ago.
His brother described him as an entrepreneurial and hard-working husband
and father of two. And El Salvador’s foreign minister, Alexandra Hill
Tinoco, posted Wednesday on X that one Salvadoran citizen, Miguel Luna,
was among the missing workers.The ship is owned by Singapore-based Grace
Ocean Private Ltd., which said all crew members, including the two
pilots, were accounted for and there were no reports of injuries.The
ship’s warning enabled authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span.
Plus, the accident occurred at 1:30 a.m., long before the busy morning
rush. The bridge carried an estimated 30,800 vehicles per day on average
in 2019.WHAT IMPACT COULD THIS HAVE? The collapse will almost surely
create a logistical nightmare, shutting down ship traffic at the Port of
Baltimore and snarling cargo and commuter traffic.The port is a major
East Coast hub for shipping. The bridge spans the Patapsco River, which
massive cargo ships use to reach the Chesapeake Bay and then the
Atlantic Ocean.The Dali was headed from Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka,
and flying under a Singapore flag, according to data from Marine
Traffic.President Joe Biden said he expects the federal government to
pick up the entire rebuilding cost. His administration approved $60
million in emergency federal aid to pay for debris removal and other
initial costs.“This work is not going to take hours. This work is not
going to take days. This work is not going to take weeks. We have a very
long road ahead of us,” Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said Thursday.The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers and a commercial salvage company have been
surveying the site as they plan the salvage operation, according to U.S.
Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Cynthia Oldham.Coast Guard Rear Admiral
Shannon Gilreath said Friday that the first goals are to reopen the
shipping channel and remove the ship. The Maryland Department of
Transportation and U.S. Coast Guard surveyed the damage Friday morning.
Teams worked through high winds while determining how to safely cut the
vessel — which weighs between 3,000 to 4,000 tons — into lighter
sections that can be removed by four heavy lift cranes supplied by the
U.S. Navy, according to Moore.In the coming weeks, the governor hopes to
have 10 tugboats, seven floating cranes, nine barges, eight salvage
vessels and five Coast Guard boats in the water.The collapse is not
likely to have a big effect on worldwide trade because Baltimore is not a
major port for container vessels, and proves more important when it
comes to goods such as farm equipment and autos, said Judah Levine, head
of research for global freight booking platform Freightos.But jobs for
roughly 2,400 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association
Local 333 could dry up until shipping traffic resumes, according to
Scott Cowan, the union’s president. Cowan said union leaders are working
with elected officials to fund compensation for longshoremen in the
meantime.Authorities must also now handle a sheen in the water after
some of the 56 containers onboard that were carrying hazardous materials
were breached. Among the hazardous materials were corrosives,
flammables and lithium ion batteries, according to the National
Transportation Safety Board. But the Key Bridge Joint Information Center
said Thursday that there’s no immediate environmental threat and that
air monitoring has shown no volatile organic compounds. Adam Ortiz, the
EPA’s regional administrator in the Mid-Atlantic states, said Friday
that ongoing monitoring has not given any indication that the water
contains materials hazardous to humans.HOW OFTEN DOES THIS HAPPEN? From
1960 to 2015, there were 35 major bridge collapses worldwide due to ship
or barge collisions, with a total of 342 people killed, according to a
2018 report from the World Association for Waterborne Transport
Infrastructure.Eighteen of those collapses happened in the United
States.Among them were a 2002 incident in which a barge struck the
Interstate 40 bridge over the Arkansas River at Webbers Falls, Oklahoma,
sending vehicles plunging into the water. Fourteen people died and 11
were injured.And in 2001, a tugboat and barge struck the Queen Isabella
Causeway in Port Isabel, Texas, causing a section of the bridge to
tumble 80 feet (24 meters) into the bay below. Eight people were
killed.___Lea Skene, Brian Witte and Sarah Brumfield contributed
reporting. This story was updated to correct that there were more than
56 containers on the ship, but that 56 contained hazardous materials.

Israel kills top
Hezbollah rocket commander in Lebanon; 5 others slain in Syria-IDF
strikes terror group’s facilities across southern Lebanon, as sirens
sound in northern Israel amid repeated attacks-By Emanuel Fabian-Today,
11:40 pm-MAR 29,24
The Israel Defense Forces said it eliminated
the deputy commander of Hezbollah’s rocket unit in a drone strike in
southern Lebanon Friday morning, amid a series of attacks against the
Lebanese terror group north of Israel’s border.The senior Hezbollah
commander, Ali Naim, was struck while in a car in the town of Bazouriye,
close to Tyre.According to the IDF, Naim was “considered to be a
significant source of knowledge in the terror group, and leader in the
field of rockets.”“He was also one of the leaders for heavy-warhead
rocket fire and responsible for conducting and planning attacks against
Israeli civilians,” the IDF added.Hezbollah confirmed Naim’s death but
did not refer to him as a commander.The IDF released footage of the
strike.Speaking following an assessment at the IDF Northern Command in
Safed, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said he observed the strike on
Naim.Hinting at Israel’s alleged overnight airstrike in Syria, in which
38 people were killed including five Hezbollah operatives and members of
the Syrian army, Gallant said the military will “expand the campaign
[against Hezbollah] and increase the rate of attacks in the north.Huge

(@Charles_Lister) March 29, 2024-“Israel is turning from defending to
pursuing Hezbollah, we will reach wherever the organization operates, in
Beirut, Damascus, and in more distant places.”Gallant added, “The one
responsible for the serious damage in Lebanon is Hezbollah and the one
responsible for the many casualties in the Hezbollah group is [Hassan]
Nasrallah personally. They have over 320 terrorists killed, and we will
exact a price for any action that comes out of Lebanon.”Defense Minister
Yoav Gallant visits the IDF Northern Command HQ in Safed, March 29,
2024. (Shachar Yurman/Defense Ministry)The official tally of Hezbollah
members killed since hostilities between the sides escalated on October 8
was brought up to 264 following the strikes on Friday. Gallant’s tally
of 320 seemingly included terrorists from other organizations north of
Israel.Besides Naim, from the town of Selaa, Hezbollah said that its
members killed in Syria were Ahmed Shehimi from Markaba; Mustafa Makki
from Tebnine; Ibrahim al-Zein from Chehour; Ali al-Haf from
Halloussiyeh; and Mustafa Nassif from Haffir.Another member named by
Hezbollah, Ali Baka from Sidon, was killed in a separate strike in
southern Lebanon.Also Friday, the IDF said it carried out an airstrike
on a Hezbollah rocket launcher in southern Lebanon, minutes after the
terror group used it to fire projectiles at the Biranit army
base.According to a statement from the military, fighter jets later
struck a Hezbollah “military building” adjacent to the launch site in
the town of Ayta ash-Shaab.The IDF said fighter jets also struck a
“military facility” in Mays al-Jabal where a Hezbollah operative was
spotted.The IDF added that several more Hezbollah sites, including
additional buildings, were targeted in Chebaa on Friday, and an
observation post in Yaroun was hit late Thursday. Hezbollah appeared to
have retaliated against Israel, as rocket warning sirens were activated
in several towns in the Western Galilee, close to the Lebanese border,
throughout Friday.Sirens also sounded twice in the northern city of
Kiryat Shmona, with the IDF saying the first was due to an interceptor
missile being fired at a “suspicious aerial target” that entered Israeli
airspace from Lebanon. The IDF said the target was successfully downed,
and the alarms were activated due to fears of falling shrapnel.The
second set of sirens in Kiryat Shmona were false alarms, the IDF
said.Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli
communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis,
with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid the war
there.So far, the skirmishes on the border have resulted in eight
civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of ten IDF
soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from
Syria, without any injuries.Of the 264 members Hezbollah says were
killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, most died in Lebanon,
but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 50 operatives from other
terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 60 civilians, three of
whom were journalists, have been killed.The hostilities began as part of
the regional turmoil which began on October 7 when Hamas terrorists
infiltrated Israel from Gaza, killing nearly 1,200 people, mostly
civilians, and kidnapping 253.Times of Israel staff contributed to this
report.
ge would allow US to fund projects directly benefiting
PA-PA in final stages of talks with US to reform ‘pay-to-slay’ policy –
sources-One of the hold-ups has been receiving approval from Israel,
which is viewed as critical for getting Congress on board; source fears
initial leak of story may torpedo negotiations-By Jacob Magid-Today,
11:33 pm-MAR 29,24
The Palestinian Authority is in the final
stages of talks with the Biden administration about reforming its
controversial welfare policy, which includes payments to terrorists and
their families, two sources familiar with the matter told The Times of
Israel on Friday.Drafts of the policy have been vetted by the
administration’s lawyers and the reform was on track to be announced in
the coming weeks, one of the sources said, confirming reporting in
Politico.The altered policy would base welfare stipends that Palestinian
security prisoners receive on the recipient’s financial need rather
than the length of their sentence, as is currently the case, the source
told The Times of Israel, adding that there were a number of outstanding
issues still being negotiated.The White House has sought for months —
well before the outbreak of the war in Gaza — to receive a nod of
approval from Israel, worried that its rejection could lead pro-Israel
lawmakers in Congress to follow suit, thereby hampering the reform’s
legitimacy in Washington, the source said. They indicated that Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has been dragging its feet on the
matter, even as the premier regularly cites the controversial policy to
argue that the PA cannot be trusted.The effort to coax the PA into
implementing the reform was held tightly under wraps for the first
three-plus years of the Biden administration, with only a small handful
of people involved. But as progress was made in recent weeks and months,
the circle of involvement had to be expanded, a second source familiar
with the matter said, lamenting that Friday’s leak may well lead to the
reform being scuttled entirely, as Ramallah didn’t want it to go public
until the initiative was finalized.The practice of paying allowances to
those convicted of carrying out terror attacks and to the families of
those killed while carrying out attacks — often referred to by some
Israeli officials as a pay-to-slay policy — has been pilloried by
critics as incentivizing terror.Palestinian leaders have long defended
the payments, describing them as a form of social welfare and necessary
compensation for victims of Israel’s callous military justice system in
the West Bank.The PA initially sought to leverage its willingness to
reform the policy in order to secure gestures from Washington, such as
the scrapping of congressional legislation from 1987 that labeled the
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) “and its affiliates” a terror
group.But Ramallah has long grown disillusioned by the Biden
administration, which has failed to keep election promises to re-open
missions for the Palestinians in Jerusalem and Washington and had
decided to move forward with the reform without any assurance of
gestures from the US in return, a Palestinian source familiar with the
matter said.The source acknowledged that the reform would be
domestically unpopular, given the widespread solidarity with those
imprisoned for confronting Israel’s military rule in the West Bank.
However, they noted that the PA is already historically unpopular, and
had the move been done at the right time, it had the potential of
passing without major pushback, while granting Ramallah a much-needed
jolt of international legitimacy as it seeks to return to governing Gaza
after the war.Reforming the welfare policy is designed to bring the PA
into compliance with the 2018 congressional legislation known as the
Taylor Force Act, which suspended US aid to the PA as long as it
continued granting prisoners stipends based on time served.The US would
still be barred from directly funding the PA due to legislation
preventing such aid once Ramallah began advancing investigations against
Israel in the International Criminal Court. However, if the reform is
deemed sufficient enough to place the PA in compliance with the Taylor
Force Act, the US would be able to fund projects that directly benefit
the PA.Since entering office, US President Joe Biden has been largely
limited to funding humanitarian projects in the West Bank and Gaza
through the US Agency for International Development and donations to the
UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA — though this too was barred
following allegations that staffers participated in Hamas’s October 7
onslaught.Israel also passed legislation similar to the Taylor Force Act
that could be scrapped if Jerusalem deems the PA’s reforms as
credible.Both the US and Israel will likely require a pilot period to
test the reform’s implementation before they reach determinations
regarding Ramallah’s compliance.The welfare policy reform could also
make it easier for the US to re-open the PLO diplomatic office in
Washington, which was shuttered during the Trump administration.
However, obstacles remain given the PLO’s ties to the Popular Front for
the Liberation of Palestine, a US-recognized terror organization.As for
the US consulate in Jerusalem, which former president Donald Trump also
closed down, the Biden administration has been unable to make due on its
promise to reopen the mission, citing a lack of cooperation from
Israel, which views the move as an encroachment of its sovereignty in
the capital city.Pulling off the reform would be a major diplomatic
achievement for Biden, succeeding in an endeavor previous
administrations couldn’t pull off.It would also bolster his vision for
post-war Gaza, which includes a reformed PA returning to govern the
enclave as part of a pathway to a two-state solution with Israel.The US
has a long list of areas in which it would like to see Palestinian
reforms, but some international stakeholders place the welfare payments
at the top of their lists.
For third straight week, Ramadan
prayers at Temple Mount pass without incident-Waqf says 125,000
participated in al-Aqsa compound; Foreign Ministry places that number at
just 50,000; police arrest 11 in Old City for alleged chants of
incitement-By ToI Staff and AP Today, 8:17 pm-MAR 29,24
Afternoon
prayers on the third Friday of Ramadan ended at the Al-Aqsa Mosque atop
the Jerusalem Old City Temple Mount, with the Israel Police reporting
they passed without incident.The Islamic Waqf, which administers the
mosque compound, said 125,000 people took part in the prayers, slightly
up from last week. But police put turnout in the tens of thousands and
the Foreign Ministry said “over 50,000” attended.Along with the Ramadan
prayers, hundreds of Christians participated in a customary Good Friday
procession through the limestone walls of the Old City, commemorating
one of the faith’s most sacred days with noticeably thinner crowds amid
the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.Police say they arrested 11 people in the
Old City throughout the day, including several suspects for chants of
“incitement and support for terrorism” following morning prayers at the
Temple Mount.Nevertheless, this marked the third consecutive Friday of
the Muslim holy month during which mass prayers took place largely
peacefully, despite fears of disturbances after the Hamas terror group
had called on Palestinian worshipers to barricade themselves inside the
Al-Aqsa Mosque.At the beginning of the holy month, Hamas called on
followers to “participate urgently in defending Al-Aqsa Mosque against
the aggression that lurks in these critical times.”In past years during
Ramadan, Palestinians have at times barricaded themselves inside the
Al-Aqsa Mosque, some with explosives and rocks. Police operations to
clear them out have often resulted in violence.This year’s Ramadan came
amid tinderbox tensions stemming from the ongoing war against Hamas in
Gaza, triggered by the group’s shock October 7 attack, when thousands of
terrorists rampaged through southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people
and taking 253 hostages.More than 32,000 Palestinians have been killed
in the ensuing Gaza war launched by Israel, according to Hamas, which
does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. At least 13,000
of those killed have been fighters, Israel says.Police officers
scuffled with some attendees at the Temple Mount entrance on the first
night of Ramadan, but the holy site has been relatively peaceful
since.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged ahead of Ramadan that
the number of worshipers allowed to pray on the Temple Mount would be
the same as in previous years and that no restrictions would be imposed
on Arab Israelis, overruling the wishes of National Security Minister
Itamar Ben Gvir, an ultranationalist firebrand who oversees the Israel
Police.COGAT, the Israeli defense body in charge of civilian affairs in
the West Bank, has ruled that Palestinian residents’ access to the site
for Friday’s prayers will be limited to men over 55, women over 50, and
children under 10.The Temple Mount is the holiest place in Judaism,
where two biblical Temples once stood, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque is the
third-holiest shrine in Islam, making the site a central flashpoint of
the Israeli-Arab conflict.War-impacted Good Friday procession-As for the
Good Friday procession, which normally draw thousands of foreign
visitors, this year’s rendition was composed largely of locals. Most
observers were Palestinian Christians, joined by some foreigners living
in Jerusalem and a few undeterred tourists.The traditional Good Friday
procession passes along the Way of the Cross, or Via Dolorosa, the route
believed to have been walked by Jesus to his crucifixion. Squads of
Israeli police set up barricades along the path, rerouting shoppers in
the Old City’s bustling Muslim quarter to make way for hundreds of
pilgrims.A young group of Palestinian Arab scouts led the day’s
procession, past the 14 stations along the route, each marking an event
that befell Jesus on his final journey. Hundreds of Palestinian
Christians walked in their wake. Behind them was a small parade of the
Franciscan religious order, composed mainly of foreigners who live in
Jerusalem.“We wait for this every year,” said Munira Kamar, a
Palestinian Christian from the Old City, who watched the parade pass,
waving hello to cross-bearers, who stopped to give her young daughter a
kiss on the cheek. “Of course, this year we are unhappy because of the
situation with the ongoing war.”The procession’s final stations are
inside the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where Jesus is believed to have
been crucified and laid to rest before his resurrection on Easter.
There, the impact of the war was clear: instead of the crowds who
normally queue for hours in the church courtyard, entrance to the site
was easy.The city’s streets were noticeably devoid of Palestinian
Christians from the West Bank, who normally flock to the Holy City for
the Easter festivities. Since Oct. 7, Palestinian worshippers have
needed special permission to cross checkpoints into Jerusalem.Despite
the thinned crowds, shopkeepers, whose heavy metal doors are usually
closed on Fridays, threw them open in for tourists seeking Catholic
memorabilia. But interested shoppers were few and far between.“Comparing
last year’s Easter festivities with this year is like light and day.
Nobody’s here. Most of the people are locals,” said Fayaz Dakkak, a
Palestinian storeowner whose family first opened the shop in 1942. His
shop stood empty. “Usually people are joyful today and kids are excited.
But when you compare children here who have water and food and a family
to what’s happening in Gaza, how can you be happy?”An estimated 50,000
Christian Palestinians live in the West Bank and Jerusalem, according to
the U.S. State Department’s international religious freedom report for
2022. Approximately 1,300 Christians lived in Gaza, it said. Some
Christians are also citizens of Israel. Many Palestinian Christians live
in diaspora communities.A few tourists braved the day. Carmen Ros, a
lawyer who lives in Jerusalem, had managed to corral a group of pilgrims
from Spain to visit the country for a religious tour. The group rested
in the shade outside the church.“They were afraid of the situation at
first,” she said, “but I told them here in Jerusalem, it’s safe, we
don’t have violence. We are close to Gaza, but the Christian people are
not the target of terrorism.”The celebrations coincided with the third
Friday in the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, with worshippers once again
flocking to the revered Al-Aqsa mosque for prayer. Despite fears the
ongoing war would spark clashes at the revered Al-Aqsa mosque, the month
has so far passed peacefully under tight Israeli security.Sister
Harriet Kabaije, a pilgrim from Uganda who moved to Jerusalem three
weeks ago to live in a monastery, said she was holding the people of
Gaza in her prayers. She said she believed that peace could be achieved
in the region.“Many people think that the war here is natural,” she
said. “But when Jesus was in Bethlehem, it was peaceful. We know that
people are suffering in Gaza so we carry them in our prayers and pray
that peace can return to this land,” she said.
Netanyahu gives
Shin Bet, Mossad chiefs go-ahead to resume hostage talks-After
negotiations in Qatar apparently collapsed earlier in the week, premier
tells Ronen Bar and David Barnea their teams have ‘room to operate’ in
Doha and Cairo-By ToI Staff and Lazar Berman-MAR 29,24
Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave an Israeli delegation approval on
Friday to resume indirect negotiations with Hamas in the coming days for
a truce and hostage deal.Israel will send Shin Bet and Mossad officials
to conduct the negotiations in Cairo, an Israeli official said,
clarifying that Mossad chief David Barnea and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar
are not expected to attend the talks, but may join subsequent
consultations in Doha later on, an Israeli official said.According to a
statement from his office announcing the decision, Netanyahu gave the
security chiefs “room to operate” in their negotiations.On Monday, Hamas
rejected compromises hammered out between Israel, Egypt, Qatar and the
United States in Doha, causing Jerusalem to recall most of its
negotiating team.Several news outlets reported that a small Mossad team
remained in Qatar to continue talks.Hamas said on Monday night that it
had informed mediators that it has returned to its original demands for a
permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, a
return of displaced Palestinians and a “real” exchange of “prisoners” —
demands Israel has repeatedly rejected as delusional.On Wednesday,
Barnea reportedly informed the war cabinet that a hostage deal was still
possible if Israel would be willing to be more lenient regarding the
return of Gazans to their home in the northern part of the Strip. Israel
has largely rejected the idea, as it seeks to prevent a resurgence of
Hamas activity in areas that it has already cleared of the terror
group.Besides Barnea, war cabinet minister Benny Gantz and war cabinet
observers Gadi Eisenkot and Ron Dermer supported the Mossad chief’s
stance, according to Channel 12.Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF
Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi opposed Barnea’s approach, saying that now
is not the time to be lenient in negotiations. Instead, the pair argued
that the IDF should prepare for an invasion of Rafah, but do so quietly
to afford the US an opportunity to broker a deal.Netanyahu also rejected
Barnea’s proposal and supported publicly declaring that the IDF is
preparing to invade Rafah.Another cabinet meeting on the matter was
supposed to take place Friday, but ministers received word of
Netanyahu’s decision via the media, where the premier was quoted as
saying during a Thursday meeting with hostage families: “We’re preparing
for Rafah, and I am handling the negotiations myself.”The premier’s
office issued a statement Friday night denying reports that he was in
the minority in opposing the Mossad-Shin Bet-led negotiating team’s
proposal to allow the unvetted return of Palestinians to northern
Gaza.Relatedly, the Axios news site reported that several hostage
relatives at the Thursday meeting castigated Netanyahu for his treatment
of them, asserting that US President Joe Biden has shown the abductees’
families more respect than he has.A relative of one of the dual
US-Israeli national hostages told Netanyahu that the White House both
embraces the hostage families, but more critically, keeps them informed
regarding the status of negotiations — things the premier has largely
failed to do, Axios said.The relative reportedly implored Netanyahu not
to further damage ties with the US, arguing that they are critical for
securing a hostage deal.While Hamas has conditioned any further hostage
releases on an Israeli commitment to end the war, Israel has insisted
that its military campaign to destroy Hamas’s military and governance
capabilities will resume once any hostage-truce deal is implemented.The
compromise proposal Israel accepted on Sunday reportedly would’ve seen
Jerusalem release twice as many Palestinian security prisoners as it had
initially offered in exchange for 40 hostages — women, children, the
sick and elderly — in the first phase of a 6-week truce deal.According
to a Channel 12 report, Israel is now willing to release as many as 800
prisoners, including 100 inmates convicted of murder. Other Hebrew media
reports suggested Israel was prepared to release 700 security prisoners
in return for the 40.Some 130 hostages — not all of them alive — are
believed to remain in Gaza since Hamas’s October 7 massacre, which saw
terrorists kill some 1,200 people and abduct another 253, mostly
civilians. Dozens of hostages were released under a previous truce deal
in November, and some others were freed by Israel.Egypt, Qatar and the
US have been trying to narrow differences between Israel and Hamas over
what a ceasefire could look like, as the UN warns of a deepening
humanitarian crisis, particularly in northern Gaza, where the roughly
300,000 people still living there could be facing imminent famine.Jacob

Amid hostility and kosher
restrictions, Canadian Jews fear their ‘golden age’ is over-The
community is mounting a legal fight against restrictions that coincide
with Israel-skeptic policies and expressions of antisemitism-By Canaan
Lidor-Today, 3:33 pm-MAR 29,24
Canada began feeling inhospitable
to Moshe and Leah Appel, a Jewish Orthodox couple from Montreal, long
before October 7.But the outbreak of war on that day between Israel and
Hamas in Gaza, and the explosion of antisemitism it unleashed in Canada
and beyond, “knocked down a couple of walls” that had been keeping the
couple in Canada, Moshe Appel, a baker and father of three, told The
Canadian Jewish News in a recent interview about his family’s aliyah, or
immigration to Israel.“That is the reality in Montreal, where if you
are visibly Jewish, you’re not safe,” Moshe Appel told CJN in January
following his move to Jerusalem the previous month. He cited multiple
incidents of violence and intimidation against Jews, including at their
synagogues and schools.Whereas such concerns are not uncommon across
North America and beyond, some Canadian Jews have begun to worry about
the very viability of their community of some 400,000 people. They fear
for its future amid growing hostility to Jews on the streets, antipathy
in government toward Israel and bureaucratic regulation they say limits
their ability to practice their faith.A recent example of the regulation
was the government’s introduction last year of new animal
welfare-related limitations on kosher meat production, which prompted
Jewish community activists this month to prepare a lawsuit focused on
defending the practice.Regardless of the legal action’s results and
merits, however, many Canadian Jews view the move on kosher meat as
fresh evidence that their society, which they had long considered a
“golden medina,” as one rabbi called it, is becoming inhospitable.“I
think it’s the first knocking on the door for a Jewish community,”
continued Rabbi N. Daniel Korobkin of Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto,
the city’s largest Orthodox congregation. “It’s a sign that things are
becoming less and less hospitable in this country for its Jewish
population,” he told The Times of Israel.The new regulations enforced by
the Canadian Food Inspection Agency prohibit hoisting animals for
processing until they are completely immobile.Orthodox Jewish law
requires animals to be conscious and intact when their necks are cut.
This precludes the use of stunning with a bolt to the brain, which is
employed to instantly immobilize animals whose meat is not intended to
be kosher.This stunning allows for processing non-kosher meat many times
faster than kosher meat, rendering kosher meat production unprofitable
for businesses involved.Since the guidelines went into effect, shechitah
has stopped completely in the largest of the four abattoirs that
Canadian kosher meat producers lease on an ad-hoc basis for shochtim to
produce kosher meat there, said Korobkin. The remaining three cannot
afford to continue much longer, according to the Centre for Israel and
Jewish Affairs, an umbrella organization that represents Canadian
Jews.The production of halal, meanwhile, continues despite the
regulations because local Muslim communities don’t regard bolt stunning
as preclusive to D’biha, the Muslim counterpart of shechitah. In animals
used for halal meat, their necks are cut immediately after stunning and
they are hoisted, motionless, for processing as they bleed out.Taken on
their own, the new regulations, which do not affect the production of
kosher chicken meat, have a limited impact on kosher meat’s availability
and price. Before and after the regulations, Canadian Jews have relied
partly on kosher meat imported from the United States and Latin
America.Richard Robertson, director of research and advocacy at B’nai
Brith Canada, the local branch of that Jewish human rights group,
downplayed the scope of the shechitah problem. “It has an isolated
impact on the lives of Orthodox Jewry in Canada,” he said.The Canadian
Charter of Rights and Freedoms, he added, helped “expand the ability of
our Orthodox community to practice their religion without encumbrance by
rules or regulations,” Robertson, 33, said. The issues around
shechitah, he added, were “a misunderstanding of the practice” by
authorities.Loud and proud for 50 years… and counting? Toronto and
Montreal have vibrant Jewish communities whose growth – mainly due to
immigration from Europe and especially the former Soviet Union – has
made Canada one of only six countries that had a larger Jewish
population in 2020 than half a century earlier. The ranks of Canadian
Jewry swelled by a whopping 37 percent in those 50 years, making the
community the world’s fourth largest with more core members than in all
of Latin America combined.Immigration to Israel, or aliyah, which is
often indicative of malaise in Jewish communities, is relatively low for
Canadian Jewry’s size, with an average of 361 newcomers a year in the
years 2018-2023 (a 10% decrease from the average in the five previous
years).Robertson said that he has confidence in the future of Canadian
Jewry.Yet the meat regulation’s timing, which coincides with concern
about the long-term future of Canadian Jewry, is making some view it as a
harbinger that portends darker times. Many Canadian Jews had considered
their country a haven from problems that are stunting Jewish life
elsewhere in the West, and even those affecting the Jewish minority of
the US.“Within all spheres of Canadian Jewish life, there are now
attacks going on,” said Frank Dimant, the previous CEO of B’nai B’rith
Canada. “Nothing is off limits anymore: Synagogues, Jewish schools,
Jewish institutions. They can all be under attack at any given moment,”
he said.Last week, a Canadian movie theater in Hamilton, Ontario
postponed indefinitely a Jewish film festival due to unspecified
“security and safety concerns” despite protest by the Hamilton Jewish
Federation.In November, bullet holes were found on the façades of two
Jewish schools in Montreal. Police believe it was an act of intimidation
directed at local Jews over Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.At the
city’s Concordia University, three people were injured and one was
arrested that month following an alleged assault against pro-Israel
students.In another incident, a professor from the nearby University of
Montreal, Yanise Arab, was suspended for allegedly shouting at a female
pro-Israel demonstrator from Concordia: “Go back to Poland, whore.”Build
a wall? Dimant said he is “not optimistic” about the future of Canadian
Jewry also because of immigration, which amounts to almost 500,000 new
immigrants per year in Canada, one of the highest rates per population
of any country in the world. In 2023, Canada had 8 million immigrants
with permanent residence, roughly a fifth of the total population.About
1.7 million of those immigrants are Muslim, meaning that in Canada,
unlike in the US, Muslims are a major demographic for politicians, and
outnumber Jews 4 to 1. In Europe, the arrival of waves of immigration
from Muslim countries has been followed by an explosion of antisemitic
violence, among other societal issues.Similar phenomena are on display
in Canada, according to Korobkin, the rabbi.“A lot of it, unfortunately,
has to do with the unbridled immigration policies of the current
government, which has allowed hundreds of thousands of people from the
Middle East to immigrate without vetting them,” he said.Many Canadian
Jews support the government’s openness to taking in immigrants from less
affluent countries, including Muslim ones, and dispute that doing so
worsens Jewish communities’ circumstances.“It is far easier to blame a
newcomer than to determine the root causes of systemic issues,” Shelly
Markel and Elise Herzig, the chair and director, respectively, of the
Toronto-based Jewish Immigrant Aid Services nonprofit, wrote in a
newsletter last month. Each year, their nonprofit holds a Refugee
Shabbat event that “reminds us of the Jewish imperative to remain
committed to humanitarian immigration,” they added.Ripples of the war
with Hamas-Meanwhile, the outbreak of war between Hamas and Israel is
resulting in anti-Israel agitation in Canada that is reminiscent of
scenes from Western European countries with large Muslim minorities.The
hostility may have a chilling effect on Jewish life in Canada, but it is
also emboldening some Canadian Jews to stand firm and push back.“In
recent months, I started wearing my Star of David [pendant] proudly
wherever I go. And I’m not afraid anymore,” one student of Concordia,
Dinah Elmaleh, told The Times of Israel.For the Appels, who left Canada
for Jerusalem, hostility was only part of the decision to leave, Appel
told the CJN. While living in Victoria, where they had resided for years
before moving to Montreal in the months before their aliyah, they
encountered difficulties sourcing kosher dairy ingredients for their
bakery. Leah had trouble finding modest clothing in Victoria, which has
fewer than 5,000 Jews.Quebec – the French-speaking province of Canada –
is sometimes seen as less hospitable to Jews than the rest of the
country for a combination of reasons, including anti-Israel agitation
and local nationalism. (Quebec, where most Jews speak English at home,
recently tightened legislation that facilitated enrolling some children
to English-language schooling. This has complicated life for
non-Quebecois rabbis whom the community needs to hire to maintain its
growth).Korobkin said, “They may be more boisterousness in Quebec
against the Jewish population,” but this attitude is not unique to that
province. The rabbi described the events in Quebec as manifestations of
worrisome national trends.Following Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, in
which its terrorists murdered some 1,200 people in Israel and abducted
another 253, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called Hamas
“terrorists,” adding that “no one in Canada should be supporting them,
much less celebrating them.”But his Liberal Party and government have
since taken steps that signal their criticism of Israel, whose invasion
of Gaza has left more than 31,000 dead, according to Hamas’ health
ministry. The statistics are unverified and do not distinguish between
civilians and terrorists, of whom Israel says it has killed more than
13,000.Canada’s parliament passed this month a non-binding motion
calling on the international community to work toward a two-state
solution to resolve the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Canada has
also frozen the sale of arms to Israel to ensure they are used
legally.The Canadian government may adopt a warmer stance on Israel if
the Conservatives beat Trudeau’s Liberal Party in next year’s election,
Dimant said. But any honeymoon with the pro-Israel contingent of
Canada’s Jewish community “will be short-lived, because the pendulum
will swing back the other way, to ‘woke’ society,'” Dimant said. Aliyah
will increase, especially by Orthodox Canadian Jews, he added.The
anti-Israel sentiment is manifesting itself “literally on the doorstep”
of Canadian Jews, Korobkin said. His synagogue for the first time in its
history had demonstrators picketing outside it this month because it
featured a real-estate show with assets on sale in Israel for
immigrants. It was “offensive and disturbing,” Korobkin said of the
protest by anti-Israel demonstrators.“My community is terrified. We are
being intimidated over and over by people protesting outside of Jewish
buildings,” Benjamin Rubin, a former chair of Limmud Toronto, wrote in
his blog in The Times of Israel Wednesday. The post is titled “Swan Song
to Canada’s Jewish Golden Age.”Combined, these developments are “almost
like a shock to the system,” Korobkin said.“This is really the first
time that we’re seeing a convergence of multiple factors that are making
Jews feel highly unwelcome in Canada, especially since October 7,” he
said. “We’re starting to feel like maybe we were living in a fool’s
paradise, and things are not the way we thought they were.”
Israel
turning back entire trucks with 'luxury' items inside-Integrating PA
into Gaza aid efforts offers pilot to post-war governance, say
experts-Report argues move would reduce bottlenecks, reliance on UNRWA
while boosting West Bank economy; author says Israel, UN both
responsible for hunger crisis, but former has more issues-By Jacob
Magid-Today, 12:37 pm-MAR 29,24
A new report from a group of
Israeli policy experts recommends including the Palestinian Authority in
the Gaza humanitarian effort in order to give Ramallah accountability
over the process, and smooth its transition to eventually return to
governing the enclave after the war.Involving the PA in the humanitarian
effort would ease some of the pressure on Israel, which doesn’t want to
be responsible for distributing aid inside Gaza and is also seeking to
limit the beleaguered UNRWA’s involvement in the process.The Biden
administration on Thursday welcomed the establishment of a new PA
government, expressing its hope that the cabinet led by freshly
appointed PA Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa will be able to implement
the reforms necessary for the authority to eventually take over the
reins in Gaza.The US has not, however, spoken publicly about integrating
Ramallah into the humanitarian process, which the Israel Policy Forum
(IPF) report suggests would serve as a bridge to the administration’s
post-war vision for Gaza.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has thus far
rejected efforts to include the PA in post-war planning, arguing that
the more moderate foil to Hamas, which publicly backs a two-state
solution, is actually no different than the Gaza-ruling terror
group.However, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and others in the security
establishment have argued that the PA represents Israel’s least bad
option for who can manage Gaza after the war, the alternatives being
Hamas or a state of anarchy, according to an Israeli official. This view
has yet to become policy because it is rejected by far-right members of
the coalition whom Netanyahu needs to stay in power.Returning the PA to
Gaza is an integral part of the post-war planning in Washington, which
envisions Arab allies assisting in the reconstruction of the Strip and
temporarily managing its security before passing the baton to a reformed
PA, establishing a pathway to a two-state solution with Israel, which
will be awarded a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia and other
Arab countries in the region to bolster a united front against Iran.PA
involvement can come in many forms, chiefly through the establishment of
a direct aid route from the West Bank, says the report, written by IPF
research director Shira Efron, analyst Jess Manville, and Economic
Cooperation Foundation co-executive director Celine Touboul.Food
production facilities and factories to produce tents and other sorely
lacking temporary shelter equipment could be established in the West
Bank, which would have the added benefit of bolstering the Palestinian
economy while also limiting aid transport to areas that are already
under Israeli control. The shipments would not need to go through
customs and other inspections as they do when coming from Jordan or
Egypt, and Israel would still be able to inspect them in a more
streamlined process.The IPF report also recommends having the PA manage
crossings in areas largely cleared of Hamas presence, such as Gate 96 in
northern Gaza recently opened by the IDF. It urges the US to demand
that the PA be responsible for managing the temporary pier it is
building off the Gaza City coast to receive maritime aid shipments.The
PA’s unarmed civil defense force could also be tasked with clearing
rubble from buildings destroyed in the Gaza fighting, West Bank-based
medical teams could be brought into Gaza to support international field
hospitals and PA employees can also be integrated into relief agencies’
water testing campaigns, vaccination efforts and blood drives in the
enclave, the report proposes.Most critically, the PA could be
incorporated into mechanisms for monitoring goods and aid workers, to
further place the onus on the PA to ensure a successful humanitarian
operation.While involving the PA in inspections already being conducted
by Israel could slow the process, if done efficiently, it will better
position Ramallah to eventually take over the process when it has
finished undergoing necessary reforms, the report says. That way, Israel
won’t end up being responsible for managing civilian affairs in Gaza,
which it claims it has no interest in doing.Hamas violently took control
of Gaza in a 2007 coup, but the PA has remained the second-largest
employer in the Strip, which puts Ramallah in a strong position to
integrate into the humanitarian system.This effort is lower stakes for
Israel from a security standpoint but can serve as a test for granting
the PA greater responsibility once the war is over, the report’s authors
surmise, adding that the recommendations could be within the realm of
what is politically digestible in Jerusalem.Although the PA is
historically unpopular and is unlikely to be fully embraced in Gaza,
Ramallah is interested in gaining a larger foothold in the Strip,
including on the humanitarian front, a senior Israeli official
separately told The Times of Israel, speaking on condition of
anonymity.Chocolates, croissants and bikinis-Shira Efron, one of the
report’s authors, held a briefing with reporters on Monday to share her
other reflections regarding the current state of the humanitarian
effort, as someone who has followed Gaza closely for years.Efron has
served as an adviser to both the UN’s Jerusalem office and the Defense
Ministry after stints as special adviser on Israel at the RAND
Corporation and senior fellow at Israel’s Institute for National
Security Studies.Asked to weigh in on the debate between Israel and the
UN regarding culpability over the lackluster humanitarian effort which
has aid groups warning that famine is imminent in northern Gaza, Efron
said both sides carry responsibility, though gave a longer list of
problems on the Israeli side.For starters, she disputed the Israeli
claim that it has the capacity to inspect 44 aid trucks an hour at both
the Kerem Shalom and Nitzana Crossings, saying that in practice, it
hasn’t been able to inspect much more than 200 trucks per day — far from
the amount needed to support a population grappling with massive food
shortages.As for the ongoing debate regarding the closure of Israel’s
crossings on Saturdays, Efron also dismissed Jerusalem’s claim that this
was part of an agreement it reached with the UN, saying that deal was
only relevant at the beginning of the war when the UN was still building
up its distribution capacity. It is now looking to deliver aid seven
days a week, instead of the current five and a half days it is allowed
due to the closing of Kerem Shalom.Moreover, she pointed to Israel’s
half-day closure of Kerem Shalom on the Purim holiday as an indicator
that the hours of operation have more to do with the religious calendar
than with outdated agreements reached with the UN.The aforementioned
senior Israeli official confirmed that candy, croissants, juice and
cigarettes have been barred, explaining that it is part of Jerusalem’s
policy to allow the minimum amount of humanitarian aid and to deny what
it views as “luxury goods” while Hamas continues to hold onto 134
hostages.While recognizing the complicity of large sectors of the
Palestinian public in Hamas’s October 7 terror onslaught as well as the
sentiment in Israeli society in favor of strict limitations on aid,
Efron said, “It’s in Israel’s interest to show that it has a fight with
Hamas, and not with the Palestinian population.”“Counter-insurgency
means that you try and buy hearts and minds, and this is not the way to
buy hearts and minds,” she said, adding that such rejections of
individual products on trucks create bottlenecks by temporarily grinding
the entire operation to a halt.She described Israeli inspections more
broadly as a bottleneck. “You can argue it’s not the main bottleneck at
the moment, but it is a bottleneck.”Israel says these reviews are
necessary to prevent the smuggling of weapons into Gaza, which Hamas has
long been prone to do.Dr Shira Efron. (Diane Baldwin, RAND
Corporation)-Moreover, Efron agreed with Jerusalem’s insistence that the
UN has a major distribution problem, lacking trucks and workers capable
of the dangerous task of delivering aid.“They’re not armed and the UN
won’t work with criminal organizations to secure the convoys, [so]
they’re scared,” she said of many prospective UN aid staff.Still, she
said UN requests for more trucks, armored vehicles, satellite
communication equipment, visas for aid workers and vetting of drivers
can take months to be approved if at all by Israel.Efron also called out
Egypt for running a “black box” humanitarian process on its side of the
border where there is no transparency or coordination regarding what’s
arriving at the El-Arish airport. “There are thousands — not hundreds —
thousands of containers [sitting in the city of] Alarish. There is no
system of pre-recording what’s coming in… That’s why you end up with
things like a truck full of bikinis,” which has little use for
aid-desperate Gazans at the moment, she said.“Israel is correct that the
UN is lacking capacity, and the UN is correct that Israel is not
opening all the crossings that it can, that it’s very stringent with
inspections — which is understandable given the security threat from
Gaza — and that it’s not taking steps to allow the UN to improve its
capacities,” Efron summarized.“There’s a blame game and actually
everyone is right, but the question is how we can constructively get out
of it because all sides involved can do a better job,” she said.She
recommended a more civil discourse between senior Israeli and UN
officials, noting that improved personal relationships at the top levels
of both sides can be leveraged to better tackle problems on the
ground.Israel and the UN do not appear to be heading toward a
rapprochement however, with Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Thursday
tweeting at UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that he “should be
ashamed” of himself, days after the latter visited the Rafah Crossing
and declared that Israeli obstacles on aid were responsible for looming
famine in Gaza.IPC and UNRWA-Guterres cited the UN-backed Integrated
Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report regarding hunger in
Gaza, which further heightened global concerns regarding the
humanitarian situation in the war-torn Strip.Efron said there was no
question that there is hunger in Gaza, but raised several concerns
regarding the IPC report’s methodological limitations.The report relied
heavily on survey responses to text messages during a period when
network coverage is limited; its survey sample was not geographically
representative; and it relied on figures from the compromised, Hamas-run
health ministry, she noted.Most critically, the IPC report makes
“future projections based on a relatively extreme scenario where there
is intense fighting, limited aid supply and a ground operation in Rafah
that does not take into consideration addressing the population’s
needs,” Efron continued.“In practice, the fighting has wound down
substantially and the humanitarian supply has gradually improved and is
still improving. And — there is not yet an operation in Rafah, and one
is very unlikely to occur without safe evacuation of the population.
This is not to say that an operation would not affect civilians and lead
to displacement, but it’s not necessarily what the report predicts,”
she added.Much of the bad blood between Israel and the UN stems from
UNRWA, with Israel long arguing that the relief agency for Palestinian
refugees is compromised.Israeli officials are determined to block UNRWA
from involvement in post-war Gaza, but Efron argued that such a goal is
little more than wishful thinking given that the international community
is determined to ensure its survival.Eighteen countries suspended
funding following allegations that 12 of UNRWA’s employees actively
participated in Hamas’s October 7 onslaught during which close to 1,200
Israelis were massacred and another 253 taken hostage.The majority of
those nations resumed funding, and a pair of countries added their names
to the donor list after not being on it before the war.Efron speculated
that pushing for meaningful reforms within the agency would be a more
realistic route for Israel to take.While such steps will be incredibly
difficult, Efron said they could include limiting UNRWA’s activities to
its original mandate so that it serves as a humanitarian relief agency,
not a political agency that is deeply intertwined with Hamas and
lobbying for a Palestinian right of return.
Strikes in Syria near

Observatory says Israel attacked missile depots for Hezbollah near
Aleppo airport, while state media says drone strikes by insurgent groups
occurred simultaneously-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 9:46 amUpdated

The Syrian army claimed that Israeli
airstrikes early Friday near the northern city of Aleppo killed and
wounded several people and caused material damage, while security
sources cited by Reuters said that at least 38 people had been
killed.Syrian state media quoted an unnamed military official as saying
that the Israeli strikes coincided with drone attacks by Syrian
insurgent groups on civilian targets in Aleppo and its suburbs. It did
not give an exact number of casualties.The Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor with
questionable funding and sourcing, said Israeli strikes hit missile
depots for Lebanon’s terrorist Hezbollah group in Aleppo’s southern
suburb of Jibreen near the Aleppo International Airport. It added that
36 soldiers were killed and dozens were wounded in the strikes. The
Observatory said explosions were still heard two hours after the
strikes.Two security sources cited by Reuters said that the strikes
killed 38 people, including five members of Hezbollah.Syrian state news
agency SANA said the pre-dawn strike killed and wounded civilians, as
well as military personnel, without providing a death toll.There was no
immediate statement from Israeli officials on the strikes. Israel

2024-On Thursday, Syrian state media reported airstrikes near the
capital Damascus, saying it wounded two civilians.Aleppo, Syria’s
largest city and once its commercial center, has come under such attacks
in the past that led to the closure of its international airport.
Friday’s strike did not affect the airport.The strikes have escalated
over the past five months against the backdrop of the war in Gaza and
ongoing clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli forces on the
Lebanon-Israel border.The war began on October 7 with Hamas’s
unprecedented attack on Israel in which terrorists murdered some 1,200
people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 253. The Hamas-run health
ministry in Gaza claims that more than 32,000 Palestinians have been
killed by Israel in the war, an unverified figure which includes more
than 13,000 Hamas operatives killed by Israel.Israel has exchanged
near-daily, cross-border fire with Hamas ally Hezbollah since the Gaza
war began, sparking fears of a major regional conflagration.At least 346
people have been killed in Lebanon — mostly Hezbollah terrorists, but
also including at least 68 civilians — in clashes with Israel over the
last six months, according to an AFP tally.The fighting has also
displaced tens of thousands of people in southern Lebanon and in
northern Israel, where the IDF says 10 soldiers and eight civilians have
been killed.While Iran-backed Hezbollah is Lebanese, it has sent
terrorists into Syria to support its ally President Bashar al-Assad
since an uprising against his rule erupted in 2011. The uprising quickly
morphed into a civil war drawing in regional and global players.
Hezbollah has continued to operate in the country since.
AI generates high-quality images 30 times faster in a single step-by Rachel Gordon | MIT CSAIL-Boston MA (SPX) Mar 22, 2024
In
our current age of artificial intelligence, computers can generate
their own "art" by way of diffusion models, iteratively adding structure
to a noisy initial state until a clear image or video emerges.
Diffusion models have suddenly grabbed a seat at everyone's table: Enter
a few words and experience instantaneous, dopamine-spiking dreamscapes
at the intersection of reality and fantasy. Behind the scenes, it
involves a complex, time-intensive process requiring numerous iterations
for the algorithm to perfect the image.MIT Computer Science and
Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) researchers have introduced a
new framework that simplifies the multi-step process of traditional
diffusion models into a single step, addressing previous limitations.
This is done through a type of teacher-student model: teaching a new
computer model to mimic the behavior of more complicated, original
models that generate images. The approach, known as distribution
matching distillation (DMD), retains the quality of the generated images
and allows for much faster generation."Our work is a novel method that
accelerates current diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion and
DALLE-3 by 30 times," says Tianwei Yin, an MIT PhD student in electrical
engineering and computer science, CSAIL affiliate, and the lead
researcher on the DMD framework. "This advancement not only
significantly reduces computational time but also retains, if not
surpasses, the quality of the generated visual content. Theoretically,
the approach marries the principles of generative adversarial networks
(GANs) with those of diffusion models, achieving visual content
generation in a single step - a stark contrast to the hundred steps of
iterative refinement required by current diffusion models. It could
potentially be a new generative modeling method that excels in speed and
quality."This single-step diffusion model could enhance design tools,
enabling quicker content creation and potentially supporting
advancements in drug discovery and 3D modeling, where promptness and
efficacy are key.Distribution dreams-DMD cleverly has two components.
First, it uses a regression loss, which anchors the mapping to ensure a
coarse organization of the space of images to make training more stable.
Next, it uses a distribution matching loss, which ensures that the
probability to generate a given image with the student model corresponds
to its real-world occurrence frequency. To do this, it leverages two
diffusion models that act as guides, helping the system understand the
difference between real and generated images and making training the
speedy one-step generator possible.The system achieves faster generation
by training a new network to minimize the distribution divergence
between its generated images and those from the training dataset used by
traditional diffusion models. "Our key insight is to approximate
gradients that guide the improvement of the new model using two
diffusion models," says Yin. "In this way, we distill the knowledge of
the original, more complex model into the simpler, faster one, while
bypassing the notorious instability and mode collapse issues in
GANs."Yin and colleagues used pre-trained networks for the new student
model, simplifying the process. By copying and fine-tuning parameters
from the original models, the team achieved fast training convergence of
the new model, which is capable of producing high-quality images with
the same architectural foundation. "This enables combining with other
system optimizations based on the original architecture to further
accelerate the creation process," adds Yin.When put to the test against
the usual methods, using a wide range of benchmarks, DMD showed
consistent performance. On the popular benchmark of generating images
based on specific classes on ImageNet, DMD is the first one-step
diffusion technique that churns out pictures pretty much on par with
those from the original, more complex models, rocking a super-close
Frechet inception distance (FID) score of just 0.3, which is impressive,
since FID is all about judging the quality and diversity of generated
images. Furthermore, DMD excels in industrial-scale text-to-image
generation and achieves state-of-the-art one-step generation
performance. There's still a slight quality gap when tackling trickier
text-to-image applications, suggesting there's a bit of room for
improvement down the line.Additionally, the performance of the
DMD-generated images is intrinsically linked to the capabilities of the
teacher model used during the distillation process. In the current form,
which uses Stable Diffusion v1.5 as the teacher model, the student
inherits limitations such as rendering detailed depictions of text and
small faces, suggesting that DMD-generated images could be further
enhanced by more advanced teacher models."Decreasing the number of
iterations has been the Holy Grail in diffusion models since their
inception," says Fredo Durand, MIT professor of electrical engineering
and computer science, CSAIL principal investigator, and a lead author on
the paper. "We are very excited to finally enable single-step image
generation, which will dramatically reduce compute costs and accelerate
the process.""Finally, a paper that successfully combines the
versatility and high visual quality of diffusion models with the
real-time performance of GANs," says Alexei Efros, a professor of
electrical engineering and computer science at the University of
California at Berkeley who was not involved in this study. "I expect
this work to open up fantastic possibilities for high-quality real-time
visual editing."Yin and Durand's fellow authors are MIT electrical
engineering and computer science professor and CSAIL principal
investigator William T. Freeman, as well as Adobe research scientists
Michael Gharbi SM '15, PhD '18; Richard Zhang; Eli Shechtman; and
Taesung Park. Their work was supported, in part, by U.S. National
Science Foundation grants (including one for the Institute for
Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions), the Singapore
Defense Science and Technology Agency, and by funding from Gwangju
Institute of Science and Technology and Amazon. Their work will be

GITAI's robotic system triumphs in ISS demo-With this
successful demonstration, GITAI is poised to advance the development of
its robotic satellites, reinforcing its commitment to innovating in the
field of on-orbit satellite servicing.-by Clarence Oxford-Los Angeles CA
(SPX) Mar 20, 2024
GITAI USA Inc. reports the completion of its
technological demonstration, which involved a 1.5-meter-long autonomous
dual robotic arm system (S2) performing tasks outside the International
Space Station (ISS). This demonstration represents a critical
advancement in on-orbit satellite servicing, demonstrating capabilities
critical for satellite maintenance, repair, and assembly in space.This
achievement is part of GITAI's broader initiative to provide on-orbit
satellite servicing across both Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and Low Earth
Orbit (LEO), encompassing a wide range of operations including
rendezvous, docking, inspection, de-orbiting, and life extension
services. GITAI is actively developing robotic satellites designed to
autonomously execute these operations, with the goal of launching
on-orbit servicing solutions by 2026.The recent demonstration at the ISS
involved the S2 system performing a series of in-space servicing,
assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM) tasks from the ISS Bishop Airlock.
The successful completion of these tasks highlights the system's
operational efficacy and reliability in the space environment. Although
the primary objectives of the demonstration have been achieved, GITAI
plans to conduct additional reliability tests over the next five months
to further validate the system's performance.The demonstration's success
has resulted in the S2 system achieving NASA's Technology Readiness
Level (TRL) 7, indicating its operational readiness in space. This
milestone is important, as it demonstrates the potential of GITAI's
technology for practical applications in space operations. The
technology developed for the S2 system also informs the design of
GITAI's inchworm-type robotic arm, which shares many components with the
S2 and has similarly achieved a high level of technological
readiness.With this successful demonstration, GITAI is poised to advance
the development of its robotic satellites, reinforcing its commitment
to innovating in the field of on-orbit satellite servicing. This
development represents a significant step forward in the utilization of
autonomous robotic systems for complex operations in space, offering
potential for enhanced efficiency and capabilities in satellite
servicing and beyond.
France eyes spent uranium plant to bypass Russia: ministry-Paris, March 29 (AFP) Mar 29, 2024
The
French government has said it is "seriously" studying the option of
building a plant to convert and enrich reprocessed uranium to cut its
reliance on Russia following the invasion of Ukraine.The only plant in
the world that currently converts reprocessed uranium for use in nuclear
power plants is in Russia."The option of carrying out an industrial
project to convert reprocessed uranium in France is being seriously
examined," the French industry and energy ministry told AFP late
Thursday."The associated conditions are still being studied," the
ministry said.The announcement came after French daily Le Monde said
that state-owned power utility EDF had no immediate plans to halt
uranium trade with Russia, as Moscow's war against Ukraine stretches
into its third year.Environment and climate NGO Greenpeace condemned the
continuing uranium trade between Russia and France despite Moscow's
invasion of Ukraine, and urged France to cut ties with Russia's state
nuclear power company Rosatom."If Emmanuel Macron wants to have a
coherent stance on Ukraine, he must stop the French nuclear industry's
collaboration with Rosatom and demand the termination of Russian
contracts," Pauline Boyer of Greenpeace France said in a statement to
AFP on Friday."For the time being, his 'support without limits' for
Ukraine has one limit: his business with Rosatom," she said.According to
Le Monde, Jean-Michel Quilichini, head of the nuclear fuel division at
EDF, said the company planned to continue to "honour" its 2018 contract
with Tenex, a Rosatom subsidiary.The contract stipulates that
reprocessed uranium from French nuclear power plants is to be sent to a
facility in the town of Seversk (formerly Tomsk-7) in western Siberia to
be converted and then re-enriched before being reused in nuclear
plants.Since Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine
in February 2022, the West has imposed several rounds of sanctions on
Moscow, but Russia's nuclear power has remained largely
unscathed.Contacted by AFP, EDF said it was "maximising the
diversification of its geographical sources and suppliers", without
specifying the proportion of its enriched reprocessed uranium supplies
that comes from Russia.- 'Neither legitimate nor ethical' -Greenpeace
said it was "scandalous" that EDF insisted on continuing honouring its
agreement with Rosatom."It is neither legitimate nor ethical for EDF to
continue doing business with Rosatom, a company in the service of
Vladimir Putin, which has illegally occupied the Zaporizhzhia power
plant in Ukraine for over two years, and is participating in the nuclear
threat whipped up by Russia in this war," Boyer said.EDF said it and
several partners were discussing "the construction of a reprocessed
uranium conversion plant in Western Europe by 2030"."The fact that the
French nuclear industry has never invested in the construction of such a
facility on French soil indicates a lack of interest in a tedious and
unprofitable industrial process," Greenpeace said in a report in 2021.It
accused France of using Siberia "as a garbage dump for the French
nuclear industry".In recent years France has been seeking to resuscitate
its domestic uranium reprocessing industry.In early February, a reactor
at the Cruas nuclear power station in southeastern France was restarted
using its first recycled uranium fuel load, EDF said at the
time.nal-as/jh/js
