Business arbitration: A milestone for Palestinian statehood?

After years of effort, Israel and the PA agree to a framework that will ease economic cooperation

By David Shamah November 22, 2013, 12:10 am 0-The Times of Israel

Business ties between Israel and the Palestinian Authority have been proceeding apace regardless of security challenges, but that does not mean there have not been clashes. After years of efforts, a mechanism has been established to help businesspeople on both sides resolve disputes. According to Oren Shachor, chairman of Israel’s branch of the International Chamber of Commerce, the new Jerusalem Arbitration Center will help smooth out bumps on the road to greater economic cooperation between Israel and the PA.At a gala event this week, top business people in Israel and the PA, along with Shachor and executives from the ICC, kicked off the project. “The JAC will bring fair, expeditious and cost-efficient dispute resolution to the region and is expected to help rectify ties between Palestinian and Israeli business people,” said ICC chairman Harold McGraw. The project will enable companies to pursue new markets, “attract local and foreign investments, and bring long-term benefits to the legal profession here,” he added.The JAC’s facilitation of business relations between Israel and the PA is being welcomed by both communities. But the project could have an inadvertent side effect. By agreeing to the ICC’s conditions for arbitration, Israel is essentially recognizing the validity of the Palestinian court’s decisions as equivalent to those of any other nation, thus conferring a “back-door” form of recognition of a Palestinian state.Israel is the Palestinian Authority’s biggest trading partner; in 2011, 86 percent of the PA’s exports went to Israel, and under the Oslo Accords — the legal framework that established the PA and sets the rules under which it operates — Israel administers imports for the authority. Currently, trade between Israel and the PA is close to $5 billion.But like political relations, economic ties between Israel and the PA have often been strained. Businesspeople on both sides have complaints: Roadblocks, checkpoints, and other security-related phenomena cause delays for Palestinian workers and businesses, costing them in late fees, lost contracts, spoiled produce and other woes. Israelis who do business with PA businesses complain that they are sometimes stiffed on payments, and that there is no way to enforce contracts and address legal issues.Businesspeople on both sides called for a grassroots solution, regardless of the political issues between their respective governments. Thus, said Shachor, was born the JAC, an arbitration panel based on internationally accepted business principles and administered by the International Chamber of Commerce, which runs arbitration courts around the world for companies operating in different countries with different rules that have a difference of opinion on who owes whom what.The group, which represents hundreds of thousands of companies in 120 countries around the world, has an extensive rulebook on how to deal with disputes of all kinds, making it the right choice to sponsor the JAC, said Shachor, who established the center with PA businessman Munib al-Masri. “We’ve had many discussions on how to go about doing this, and the ICC rules are the best fit,” said Shachor. “Our objective is to make business easier for business people, and life better for everyone, by applying internationally accepted standards to business disputes.”It hasn’t been easy, however. Negotiations on establishing the JAC have been going on for several years, with the goal finally achieved after the Palestinians agreed to enforce official JAC rulings when necessary — which they had been resisting. Even so, said John Beechey, president of the ICC’s International Court of Arbitration, the only way the JAC is going to succeed is if both sides take it seriously and respect its decisions. “If it begins to operate and awards are given and honored, or disputes are referred to courts in Israel or the PA and those decisions are respected, the thing will flourish. If not, then it will fall apart,” he said.But failing to respect those decisions would be very short-sighted, Beechey said. “Trade is over $4 billion now, but there is much more potential, and this could certainly significantly increase that volume, bring benefit to both sides.” Beechey would not say which side, in his opinion, was more likely to break the agreement. “My mission is to do something that will succeed and benefit everyone, and I believe the JAC can do that,” he added.The JAC’s international arbitration committee will include nine members, including its president, Rifat Hisarciklioglu, who is also president of ICC Turkey. Israel and the PA will supply two of the members, and the others will be nominated by Hisarciklioglu. Disputes will be handled by the ICC offices in Ramallah and Tel Aviv, depending on the location of the complaining parties.The arrangement may be good for business, but it contains a sensitive political element in that it gives both Israeli and Palestinian courts equal jurisdictional rights over disputes. In essence, the JAC paves the way for an important element of Palestinian statehood — an acknowledgement by Israel of the legitimacy of these courts’ decisions in international venues.That may be an even more powerful element of statehood than the recognition of Palestine by the UN General Assembly, UNESCO, and other international forums in recent years. For the first time, Israeli companies and courts will be expected to regard Palestinian court decisions as legal and binding within the context of Israeli law, as it would any other state.How the government might feel about this isn’t clear, but it’s just fine as far as Shachor, who helped negotiate several agreements with the PA, is concerned. “I can’t say whether or not the PA sees this as a strategy for international recognition. The JAC is about improving the situation of Palestinians and helping business.” But if it does, Shachor is fine with it. “I believe in the two state solution. The Palestinians are interested in this in part because it will improve their international standing,” he added. “They want to be accepted in the international community.”

Palestinian negotiator Ishtayeh insists on resignation

Palestinians were wrong to forgo UN redress before negotiations began, says PLO official Hanan Ashrawi

By Elhanan Miller November 21, 2013, 10:38 pm 4-The Times of Israel

Palestinian negotiator Mohammed Ishtayeh is insisting on resigning his post and will not participate in the upcoming negotiation rounds with Israel next week, Ma’an news agency reported on Thursday. “Knowledgeable sources” told the independent news agency that Ishtayeh will be replaced by a yet unnamed Palestinian official and join chief negotiator Saeb Erekat, who will remain in his position despite having officially resigned on October 31.Palestinian officials, including negotiator Erekat, have been voicing mounting criticism of Israel over its building in West Bank settlements and demolition of houses in East Jerusalem.On Thursday, PLO Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi called on the Palestinian leadership in a radio interview to “prepare to turn to the UN without waiting for the failure of negotiations with Israel,” Palestinian daily Al-Quds reported.“Israel defies the Americans by promising them to slow settlement construction while actually expediting it. Therefore we must turn to the UN,” Ashrawi told the official Voice of Palestine Radio. “In my opinion, we should have turned to the UN before Secretary of State John Kerry launched his initiative, because Israel takes advantage of this process to expand settlements.”

The Palestinians committed not to appeal to international fora against Israel during the 9-month negotiation period in return for Israel’s release of 104 Palestinian prisoners detained before the signing of the Oslo Peace Accords in September 1993. The talks resumed in late July, and Israel has freed 52 of the prisoners, most of them jailed for terrorist killings, in two of four scheduled group releases.Refusing to accept the negotiators’ resignation, PA President Mahmoud Abbas declared on November 17 that negotiations will run their full course “regardless of developments on the ground.”That position did not prevent the Palestinian leader from harshly criticizing Israeli policies at the Afro-Arab summit in Kuwait earlier this week. During his speech Tuesday, Abbas said that Israel’s “routine” attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem presented ”the greatest threat to the chances of peace in Palestine and the region.”

Little progress seen in second day of nuclear talks

Statements from both Western officials and sources in Tehran suggest disagreement over right to enrich uranium standing in the way of deal

By AP and Times of Israel staff November 22, 2013, 12:14 am 1

GENEVA — A second day of nuclear talks in Geneva ended Thursday with both sides indicating substantive issues still stood in the way of a deal between Iran and six world powers.The day saw negotiators try to fine-tune a draft agreement that would limit Tehran’s atomic program in return for easing some sanctions. Iran’s ability to produce nuclear fuel and relief for Iran’s oil and banking sectors appeared to be among the sticking points.Renewed opposition from influential members of the US Congress to any deal they feel gives the Iranians too much for too little complicated the diplomatic maneuvering. The Democratic-led Senate signaled Thursday it would only give President Barack Obama until next month before pressing ahead with new Iran sanctions, and a key Republican introduced legislation to limit the president’s future negotiating ability with Tehran.Participants at the talks refused to spell out what was standing in the way of a deal. But Iranian statements and remarks from Western officials suggested they included finding mutually acceptable language on whether Iran has a right to enrich uranium, a technology that can produce both reactor fuel and nuclear warhead material.Sanctions relief was also an issue.The sides are scheduled to meet again Friday.

The talks group six world powers and Iran. But negotiators for the six — the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany — were reduced to a side role Thursday, with top European Union diplomat Catherine Ashton shuttling between them and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif as the two tried to chip away at differences.As the talks moved into evening, Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Iranian state TV that the two sides had “common viewpoints in many cases, while there are serious differences in some cases.”He said talks included possible ways to reduce sanctions on Iranian oil sales and banking.A member of the Iranian delegation said his country recognizes that core oil and banking sanctions could not be lifted immediately but suggested Iran was looking for some relief over six months of the first-step agreement.He also indicated that Iran was ready to discuss a limit on its uranium enrichment but said Iran wants some mention of its right to uranium enrichment — something the United States and its allies have long resisted. The delegation member demanded anonymity because he was not authorized to comment on the closed negotiations.On the world powers side, Ashton spokesman Michael Mann said she is determined to narrow the differences between the sides, according to a Voice of America report.“It was a real meaningful, detailed, substantial negotiation trying to drill down into the details of the text to try and narrow the differences that still existed after the last round,” Mann said.The United States and its allies have signaled they are ready to ease some sanctions in return for a first-step deal that contains Iran’s nuclear program. But they insist that the most severe penalties — on Tehran’s oil exports and banking sector — will remain until the two sides reach a comprehensive agreement to minimize Iran’s nuclear arms-making capacity.Iran says it does not want such weapons and has indicated it’s ready to start rolling back its program but wants greater and faster sanctions relief than that being offered.A senior US official told reporters last week that Iran is losing $5 billion a month in lost oil sales alone and $120 billion in total from all sanctions since their imposition, although he did not give a time frame. The official demanded anonymity in keeping with rules established by the US administration.The White House has not publicly provided a figure, but congressional officials said Wednesday the administration estimates Iran could get $6 billion to $10 billion in sanctions relief over six months as a first step, with additional relief depending on progress made toward a final deal. The officials on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to divulge the estimate publicly.Several Democrat and Republican senators have voiced displeasure with the parameters of the potential agreement, arguing that the US and its partners are offering too much for Iranian action that stops short of a full freeze on uranium enrichment.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warned Thursday that the Iranians could prevent any successful deal from emerging without the threat of new oil and financial penalties. He said the Senate must move forward with new sanctions after returning from a two-week recess next month.Sen. Bob Corker, the Republicans’ top member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, proposed a bill mapping out what a final agreement should look like and seeking to restrict Obama’s capacity to offer sanctions relief.The legislation gives Obama 240 days to conclude the deal and states he can only suspend restrictions on Iran if he certifies that such action advances US national security interests and that Iran is fully complying with existing agreements. It says any final agreement must compel Iran to end all uranium enrichment activity, a condition the Islamic republic has steadfastly rejected.Such moves added pressure on negotiators in Geneva who need to strike an initial deal that satisfies Congress while also meeting Iranian demands of maximum sanctions relief.Even if an interim agreement is reached, prospects for a final-stage deal appear uncertain given the wide gulf between the two sides.“The real problem is defining the broad contours of the end game. (The Iranians) need to know what will happen in the end,” said Ali Vaez, a senior analyst with the International Crisis Group. “I’m optimistic for the short term, pessimistic for the long term.”Warnings from Iran’s supreme leader that compromise has its limits added to the challenge facing negotiators.Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the ultimate authority in Iran, voiced support for the talks Wednesday but insisted there are limits to the concessions Tehran will make at the negotiating table.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in Moscow to meet with President Vladimir Putin, renewed his demand for a halt to all Iranian nuclear programs that could be turned from peaceful uses to making weapons.Israel wants a settlement that is “genuine and real,” he said.“Israel believes that the international community must unequivocally ensure the fulfillment of the U.N. Security Council’s decisions so that uranium enrichment ends, centrifuges are dismantled, enriched material is taken out of Iran and the reactor in Arak is dismantled,” Netanyahu said, referring to Iran’s plutonium reactor under construction.“They must not have nuclear weapons,” he told a gathering of Russian Jews. “And I promise you that they will not have nuclear weapons.”

Hamas: Our Rockets Will Reach North of Tel Aviv

Senior Hamas figure threatens increased missile range in next clash, tells Israeli leaders to run away.

Mushir al-Masri, a Hamas member of parliament and senior figure in the terrorist organization, threatened increased Hamas missile range in the next confrontation, saying that if Israel struck Gaza, Hamas would fire missiles at "targets north of Tel Aviv."Al-Masri, who spoke at an event organized by Hamas students to commemorate a year since the IDF's counter-terror Operation Pillar of Defense, claimed that Israel "will be surprised by the abilities of the Al-Qassam Brigades."On Monday al-Masri similarly claimed that Hamas now has missiles with a 100 kilometer (62 mile) range, putting Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in their sights.
The threats were confirmed last Friday when Colonel Amos Hacohen, head of the IDF's Southern Gaza Brigade, assessed that Hamas continues to greatly expand and improve its missile arsenal. The missiles are largely produced in Gaza following Egypt's crackdown on Sinai smuggling.Al-Masri extolled the young generation of Hamas, saying "these youths present at the event...are a generation educated in the mosques that learned the Koran by heart."The senior Hamas figure then threatened Israeli leaders, and particularly Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, telling them "to run away before the new generation of Al-Qassam Brigades reaches you."Apparently not all of Hamas's next generation need be feared. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's granddaughter was sent to Israel for medical treatment on Monday, only to be returned to Gaza that night after doctors couldn't treat her serious digestive tract infection.Al-Masri further stated that "freeing the land (Israel) will not happen except by armed struggle and jihad, not by negotiations."His comments come after Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said Sunday that there is no difference between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (PA), the PA merely uses different means to achieve the same goal.

Experts: US 'Unprepared' for Potential Iran Attack

Security experts gather in Washington D.C., say threat of Iranian 'Electromagnetic Pulse' attack is 'more immediate than most realize.'-By Daniel Perez, Orli Harari, Washington-First Publish: 11/21/2013, 8:43 PM

As the latest round of negotiations between Iran, the U.S., and Europe fails to yield any meaningful nuclear concessions from Tehran, a gathering of experts in the fields of defense, national security, and foreign policy convened in Washington D.C. on Tuesday (Nov. 19).Held on the eve of the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, the event sought to contrast and compare JFK's handling of the Cuban missile crisis to President Obama's response to the current  impasse with Iran, and to see what lessons the former might hold for the latter. The threat posed by the rogue Middle Eastern state, say the panelists - not just to its neighbors in the region, but to the  United States - is far more immediate than most realize.
The meeting was sponsored by EMPact America, a bipartisan non-profit organization dedicated to spreading awareness of the dangers of an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack, a stratagem that the EMPact's founders allege is within Iran's technological reach, and for which the United States is woefully unprepared.The event, attended by an eclectic mix of pundits and opinion-makers, featured a panel of  speakers drawn from the ranks of academia, the military, and the federal government. The event  commenced with brief but poignant introduction from prominent entrepreneur and EMPact America  founder Henry Schwartz. Following Schwartz's remarks, Frank Gaffney - founder and president  of the Center for Security Policy (CSP), a Washington-based think tank - moderated a discussion  with former U.N. ambassador and political commentator John Bolton, U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. (Ret.)  Thomas McInerney, Mideast expert and former CIA operative Clare Lopez, and Morton Klein, national  president of the Zionist Organization of America.An EMP attack by Iran, explained Schwartz, would have the power to “shut down our electrical  grid, and thus, end our civilization as we know it.” “Iran has repeatedly called for a world without America,” Schwartz continued, “and has  practiced this type of EMP attack from barges in the Caspian Sea.” He went on to describe various  plausible scenarios for a high-altitude EMP detonation, describing the repercussions as “catastrophic.”“The opportunity and time for diplomatic efforts has been exhausted,” declared Schwartz. “The U.S. must act militarily to stop Iran, to prevent them from becoming a nuclear-armed existential  threat to America.”Schwartz went on to explain how successful stalling tactics on the part of Iran over the last 20 years have brought the U.S. to this critical juncture, and how the ineffectual foreign policy of the Obama administration has exacerbated an already perilous situation, necessitating a “muscular  response” to the Iranian threat.A presentation by foreign affairs expert Frank Gaffney provided additional context for understanding the present situation with Iran. Citing reports by a national German newspaper, Gaffney pointed to a military collaboration between Iran and Venezuela, which would enable Iran to launch an attack on the United States even before obtaining intercontinental ballistic missiles. One  tactic, launching a strike from a cargo ship sitting off the U.S. coast, dubbed the “Scud-in-a-tub,” was  deemed a particularly worrisome possibility. It is an attack vector, says Gaffney, for which we “neither  have any missile defense, nor, for that matter, any warning systems.”Seeking to drive his point home and demonstrate that his concerns were not an exaggeration, Gaffney recalled an incident last July in which a ship, sailing through the Panama Canal under the  North Korean flag, was intercepted and found to be carrying two surface-to-air missiles concealed  within its cargo.

Fox News contributor and former ambassador John Bolton offered insights on the inner machinations of the Iranian regime. He characterized the superficially democratic aspects of Iranian government as nothing more than a ruse. Describing how the true power lay with the Ayatollah Khamenei and the nation's mullahs, he explained the position of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani as that of a secondary leader. Tongue firmly planted in cheek, Bolton helpfully suggested that his listeners think of Rouhani as “Iran's Joe Biden.”
“And when you think of it that way,” Amb. Bolton elucidated, “watching President Obama chase Hassan Rouhani around New York at the opening of the (U.N.) General Assembly in September  was more than an embarrassment; it was a strategic mistake. Because Iran correctly read Obama's efforts, first with the photo opportunity, then to even have even a telephone conversation, as signaling weakness in the American position, as signaling desperation to reach some kind of cosmetic deal with Iran on the nuclear weapons program.”This in turn, claims Bolton, has enabled the mullahs to maintain a significant advantage in the negotiations held since then.Perhaps no one was more outspoken in his criticism of President Obama than ZOA chief  Morton Klein. Klein pointed to a number of political missteps vis-à-vis Iran, including certain appointments by the Obama administration. Chuck Hagel, for instance, President Obama's secretary  of defense, had called “for containment of Iran” for at least a decade. “Containment” of an Iranian  nuclear arsenal, Klein explains, as opposed to preventing them from developing one in the first place. Klein also called the president to task for failing to speak up regarding Iran's sponsorship of terrorist activities (e.g. via Hezbollah) throughout the globe. He also decried certain alleged “anti-Israel statements” by the president to Congress, “the likes of which I don't recall ever hearing during my 20  years at ZOA from any U.S. administration.”“This man is not serious about stopping Iran,” proclaimed Klein, “and is really allowing Iran to obtain nuclear weapons.”Prominent political activist and Jewish community leader Dr. Joseph Frager was also critical of what he perceived as the president's indecisiveness on Iran, but was quick to point out that the Iranian nuclear/EMP threat isn't an issue specific to Israel.“As the panel members clearly explained,  this is an American issue,” said Frager. “And we as American citizens should be gravely concerned for  our own sake, even if not for that of our only real ally in the Middle East.”Keeping with the event's theme, Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney shared with the audience the benefit of his own experience.A former combat pilot, McInerney actually flew reconnaissance missions over Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis. A key difference between the Soviets (and their Cuban proxies) and the Iranians, says McInerney, is that the Soviets were “reasonable.” As essentially rational actors not making their decisions on the basis of some apocalyptic ethos - in contrast to the  Shi'ite fundamentalist theocracy in Iran - the Soviets, McInerney explained, could be counted on to  prefer life over death, and therefore avoid a war that would inevitably prove catastrophic for both sides.McInerney expressed his concern over what he characterized as the “unilateral disarmament” of the U.S. military, as well as the current administration's refusal to stand by longtime U.S. allies like deposed Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak who, for all his faults, nonetheless maintained regional stability, and peace between Egypt and Israel, an unpopular stance with the Egyptian public.Rounding out the panel of experts was CSP senior fellow and former CIA operations officer Clare Lopez. Ms. Lopez placed the Iranian threat in a broader historical context, describing Iran's nuclear pursuits as a means for the Shi'ite country to challenge its Sunni neighbors (in particular, Saudi Arabia) and assert hegemony over the global Islamic community.Although each speaker was able to shed light on a particular aspect of the Iranian regime  and its nuclear ambitions, certain common threads united the presenters. There was a general consensus that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps are a driving force behind those ambitions.  It was also argued by several presenters that Iran securing a nuclear arsenal would set of a chain  reaction, in which the Arab states would ultimately follow suit, further destabilizing the region.  Though not exactly a stunning revelation, perhaps the most disconcerting point of agreement was that, indeed, President Barack Obama is no JFK.Whereas Kennedy “redeemed” himself from the  displays of weakness that precipitated the Cuban Missile Crisis by projecting an image of strength and  decisiveness (despite the concession of removing U.S. missiles from Turkey), President Obama shows no signs of mending his ways.
Will the Iranian government succeed in their nefarious aims? One thing is certain: Unless overwhelming pressure from the American public forces a dramatic shift in the present administration's foreign policy, we will be doing absolutely nothing to stop them.

Be he a god or a devil, we will accept him.And today, sadly, the world is indeed ready for such a man.

MEPs back single seat by thumping majority

MEPs call for treaty change to scrap Strasbourg seat

By Benjamin Fox

BRUSSELS - MEPs backed a single seat for the European Parliament with a thumping majority on Wednesday (20 November).Deputies backed a report by British Conservative Ashley Fox and Gerard Hafner, a German Green MEP, by 483 votes to 141 and 34 abstentions.The report, which is not legally binding, does not commit support for either Brussels or Strasbourg. Instead it calls for the European Parliament to use its power under the EU treaties to launch a procedure to change the treaty, with a view to allowing the parliament to decide on the location of its own seat.Nonetheless, most MEPs favour a single seat in Brussels where the bulk of the assembly's legislative work takes place.The parliament currently spends 48 days a year in Strasbourg an arrangement which was agreed by EU leaders at a summit in Edinburgh in 1992.A study by the parliament's own Secretary General revealed that the annuals costs of shuttling MEPs and officials to Strasbourg and maintaining the buildings are more than €100 million. It also results in around 20,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.However, a majority of MEPs scrapping the Strasbourg plenary sessions would require the support of all EU leaders, effectively giving France a veto.
French president Francois Hollande publicly ruled out giving up the Strasbourg sessions during a speech to deputies in February. Only a handful of France's 74 MEPs backed the report.Shifting EU summits or the Committee of the Regions to Strasbourg or basing a European university at the buildings are among the ideas to have been mooted by politicians as a way to compensate the French city for the loss of prestige and revenue from the plenary sessions.During a debate on the report on Tuesday (19 November), Fox commented that the most frequently question asked by his constituents was 'why are there two European Parliaments?'."The EP should have one seat and should decide itself where it sits," he said."What was once a symbol for peace and reconciliation in Europe is becoming a symbol for the absolute incapacity of the EU to reform itself," said Hafner."The practise of shifting thousands of people and resources from place to place is not only costly, inefficient, wasteful and environmentally-damaging, but, above all, it is bad for European democracy," he added.For her part, French socialist deputy Catherine Trautmann, a former mayor of Strasbourg, accused the report's authors who giving ammunition to eurosceptics, adding that MEPs should withdraw their attacks on the city as "a symbol of waste".But Fox dismissed this charge as "nonsense on stilts" pointing out that only four deputies spoke against the report, all of whom were French."French members should be honest that they are acting in their selfish national interests," he said, adding that "if the Parliament was based in Bristol I would do the same."

Seven EU states create military drone 'club'

20.11.13 @ 09:29-EUOBSERVER

Ashton calls for military-grade drones in EU airspace

By Andrew Rettman

BRUSSELS - Seven EU countries have formed what France calls a "club" to produce military drones from 2020 onward.The scheme was agreed in Brussels on Tuesday (19 November) at a meeting of the European Defence Agency (EDA), the EU's defence think tank, by France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain.The group-of-seven's defence ministers signed a "letter of intent" tasking the EDA to draw up a study on joint production of Medium Altitude Long Endurance (Male) craft, which can be used to strike military targets or for surveillance of migrant boats in the Mediterranean Sea.The EDA said in a press release that "the objective of this community is to exchange information as well as to identify and facilitate co-operation among member states which currently operate or plan to operate RPAS [Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems]."The think tank's director, Claude-France Arnould, noted: "In view of today’s constrained financial situation, this effort for defence must be fully efficient which implies co-operation and searching for synergies."Another EDA official, Peter Round, told media: "This is the starting pistol for us to be able to start work on a European RPAS."The French defence minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, said: "If Europe hopes to maintain a strategic capability, countries must pool their capacities and actions in a pragmatic way."
He called the group of seven a "club of drone-using countries."The EDA decision comes ahead of an EU summit on defence in December.It also comes amid a raft of existing European drone projects.
Three European arms firms - France's Dassualt, Franco-German firm Eads and Italy's Finmeccanica - agreed in June to launch their own European drone programme.France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland are working on what they call a "euro-Ucav," or unmanned combat air vehicle, the Neuron, which made a test flight in December 2012.France and the UK are working on a "stealth" drone called Telemos to fly in 2018.On the civilian side, the European Commission is also developing drones to be used for surveillance in EU civilian airspace with Israel Aerospace Industries and with the Austrian-based firm, Diamond Airborne Sensing.The EDA meeting on Tuesday saw eight EU states - Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK - sign up to a second scheme, the "Joint Investment Programme on RPAS for Air Traffic Insertion," to enable drones to fly alongside civilian planes.Meanwhile, the EU's new Male programme is designed to compete with Israeli and US arms firms.Israel and the US make the vast majority of the world's military drones and sell them to allies such as Germany, France, Italy and the UK.Britain, according to a report filed by the UK defence ministry to the British parliament last month, used US-made "Reapers" to strike targets in Afghanistan 418 times since 2007.The UN and robotics experts have voiced concerns about drone proliferation.Noel Sharkey, a British scientist who advises the UK military, told this website last year that China has also developed a Male, the Pterodactyl, which it intends to sell worldwide.But the concern has had little impact on a global drone market said by the US-based consultancy, the Teal Group, to be worth €5 billion a year and forecast to hit €9 billion by 2018.The EDA meeting on Tuesday also called for "increased co-operation" by EU states on air-to-air refuelling, satellite communications and cyber defence.Its press release noted, referring to EU states' reliance on the US airforce in the Libya and Mali conflicts, that: "Recent operations have demonstrated an important European capability gap in this area [air refuelling]."Correction: The original story said Denmark is part of a group of eight countries which signed up to a Joint Investment Programme on RPAS for Air Traffic Insertion. In fact, Denmark is not in the group. But Germany is. Sorry

MEPs finally back seven-year EU budget

20.11.13 @ 09:29-the euobserver

By Benjamin Fox

BRUSSELS - MEPs have approved the first-ever cut to the EU’s seven-year spending cycle in the bloc’s history, bringing to an end over a year of talks.The European Parliament voted for the €960 billion earmarked for the period 2014 to 2020 on Tuesday (19 November) by 537 votes to 126, as the parliament's three largest groups swung behind the deal.MEPs at the Strasbourg plenary session also voted on a series of programmes that are linked to the seven-year plan, including the Erasmus student exchange programme, and the Connecting Europe facility, together with reforms to the Common Agricultural Policy.
EU leaders agreed on the spending levels at a specially-convened summit in February.However, a stand-off between governments and the parliament emerged after MEPs insisted that they would not sign off on the budget without assurances that the commission can pay its outstanding bills for this year.The EU executive says that it has been the victim of continuous under-budgeting in recent years, leaving it unable to pay its bills without extra money.A series of amending budgets worth over €15 billion have been proposed by the commission during 2013 in a bid to plug funding shortfalls.MEPs were also unhappy about the overall cuts to EU spending, demanded by governments currently imposing domestic austerity programmes.Deputies were able to insert a "revision clause", which will require the European Commission to present a review in 2016 of how the budget framework is working.Each year of the budget "represents more money - in today's prices - than the whole Marshall plan in its time," Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said following the vote."Our modern, future-oriented budget can make a real difference to people's lives."

Amid furtive talks, Iran says negotiating a ‘difficult job’

France toughens up terms for an interim nuclear agreement; Iranian FM meets privately with EU top diplomat Catherine Ashton

By George Jahn and John Heilprin November 21, 2013, 3:03 pm 1-The times of Israel

GENEVA (AP) — Talks on a draft deal meant to start a rollback of Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief were delayed Thursday, with a senior Iranian envoy suggesting that the momentum characterizing much of a previous round had been slowed.Negotiators from Iran and six world powers parted on November 10 saying that an agreement was within reach, even after added complications posed by a toughened position from France.But a negotiating round scheduled for Thursday morning was postponed in a favor of a meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and the European Union’s top diplomat, Catherine Ashton.That and comments from Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi indicated that the two sides were pausing to take stock.“What we are trying now is to rebuild confidence that we lost in the previous round of negotiations,” Araghchi told The Associated Press.

Speaking of an unspecified “misunderstanding or … mismanagement in the previous round,” he said “serious negotiations” had not yet started on a draft text meant to outline the contours of any first-step deal.While saying agreement was possible, Araghchi spoke of a “difficult job” ahead to bridge differences, which he described as “remarkable” in separate comments to Iranian state TV.He also said talks have included possible ways to reduce sanctions on Iranian oil sales and banking. The U.S. and its partners have spoken of offering some financial concessions, such as unfreezing Iranian bank accounts from previous oil sales.

But they have insisted the tough sanctions would remain in place to see if Iran abides by a first-stage deal.

Warnings from Iran’s supreme leader that his country’s readiness for compromise has its limits added to the sense of some work ahead. The tough talk reflected the tensions from nearly a decade of negotiations that have begun to make headway only recently.Ayatollah Ali Khamenei voiced support for the talks Wednesday but insisted there are limits to what Tehran will deal away at the negotiating table. He blasted Israel as “the rabid dog of the region” — comments rejected by French President Francois Hollande as “unacceptable.”

French spokeswoman Najat Vallaud-Belkacem told reporters in Paris that such statements complicate the talks, but France still hopes for a deal and its position has not changed. A previous round of talks earlier this month ended without agreement after France said it wanted tough conditions in any preliminary deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in Moscow to meet with President Vladimir Putin, renewed his demand for a full stop to all Iranian nuclear programs that could be turned from peaceful uses to making weapons.Israel wants a settlement that is “genuine and real,” he said.“Israel believes that the international community must unequivocally ensure the fulfillment of the UN Security Council’s decisions so that uranium enrichment ends, centrifuges are dismantled, enriched material is taken out of Iran and the reactor in Arak is dismantled,” Netanyahu said, referring to Iran’s plutonium reactor under construction.If the talks produce a deal to freeze Iran’s nuclear efforts, negotiators will pursue a more comprehensive agreement that would ensure that Tehran’s program is solely for civilian purposes. Iran would get some sanctions relief under such a first-step deal, without any easing of the harshest measures — those crippling its ability to sell oil, its main revenue maker.Iran has suggested it could curb its highest-known level of enrichment — at 20 percent — in a possible deal that could ease the U.S.-led economic sanctions.But Iranian leaders have made clear that their country will not consider giving up its ability to make nuclear fuel — the centerpiece of the talks since the same process used to make reactor stock can be used to make weapons-grade material.Details of sanctions relief being discussed have not been revealed. But a member of the US Congress and legislative aides on Wednesday put the figure at $6 billion to $10 billion, based on what they said were estimates from the U.S. administration.The aides and the member of Congress demanded anonymity because they weren’t authorized to divulge the estimate publicly.

Netanyahu vows: No nukes for Iran’s ‘dark regime’

Prime minister, in response to anti-Israel statements from Iran’s supreme leader, suggests Tehran is on a quest for global domination

By Gavriel Fiske and Stuart Winer November 21, 2013, 1:15 pm 3-The times of Israel

The Iranian government is reminiscent of “dark regimes of the past” that tried to wipe out the Jews and then conquer the world, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday in Moscow, vowing to deny Iran nuclear weapons.“The Iranians deny our past and repeat their commitment to wipe the State of Israel off the map. This reminds us of the dark regimes of the past that plotted against us first and then against all of humanity,” Netanyahu said in an address to Russian Jewish community leaders.Efforts to portray the Islamic Republic as a peace-seeking nation are propaganda and do not show “the real Iran,” he said, noting that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini on Wednesday “called Jews ‘rabid dogs’ and said that they were not human. The public responded to him with calls of ‘Death to America! Death to Israel!’ Doesn’t this sound familiar to you?”“They must not have nuclear weapons — and I promise you that they will not have nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said.The prime minister on Wednesday met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and, at a joint press conference, reiterated his demand for the full dismantling of the Iranian nuclear program. Channel 2 news reported, however, that Putin made “no promises” to Netanyahu that Russia would seek stiffer terms for Iran in the interim deal currently under discussion, and said that the prime minister would thus be leaving Moscow empty handed.Iran is hoping to negotiate an easing of sanctions placed on the country by the West, which wishes to force it to roll back its nuclear program.The latest round of international negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 powers (the permanent members of the US Security Council plus Germany) began on Wednesday, hours after Khamenei referred to Israel — which he called “the Zionist regime” — as “the rabid dog of the region.” Khamenei said Europe felt pressed to make concessions to Zionists “because of their economic network,” but said the “Zionist entity” was doomed to collapse, and that its people “should not be called humans,” according to a Channel 2 translation of his comments.On Thursday, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said that Khamenei, “someone who uses the words of Goebbels and Hitler when talking about the Jews,” has shown that Iran “certainly does not aim to acquire nuclear power for peaceful purposes.”Liberman called on the representatives of the P5+1 countries to “pay attention” to Khamenei’s words. ”The speech by Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, is the true face of the Iranian regime, not the false representation that [Iranian President Hassan] Rouhani and his people are showing the world,” Liberman said.A round of meetings earlier in November nearly ended with the inking of an interim deal — under which Iran would have frozen part of its program in exchange for an easing of non-core sanctions — despite Israel’s strong objection to any agreement that leaves Iran with the ability to enrich uranium and produce plutonium. The deal on the table reportedly allows Iran to continue to enrich uranium to 3.5 percent during the six-month interim period during which a full deal would be sought.

French objections to the interim terms, under which Iran would also have been permitted to continue work on its Arak heavy water facility, apparently scuppered that agreement 10 days ago.

11/21/2013 VATICAN INSIDER

“I will not resign myself to a Middle East without Christians,” says Pope Francis

The Patriarchs of Catholic Churches of the Eastern Rite

Today the Pope met with representatives of the various Catholic Churches of the Eastern Rite and spoke about the need for transparency in the management of assets. “Our priests are entitled to our good example,” he added

Andrea Tornielli vatican city This morning Pope Francis met with Patriarchs and Major Archbishops from Catholic Churches of the Eastern Rite who are in Rome to take part in the Plenary Assembly of the Congregation for the Eastern Churches on the theme "The Eastern Catholic Churches 50 years after the Second Vatican Council". Participants spoke about the situation faced by Christians in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, India and within their respective diaspora communities.Before listening to what each Eastern Church leader had to say, Pope Francis gave a brief introductory speech to all those gathered. He spoke about Benedict XVI’s Post-Synodal Exhortation “Ecclesia in Medio Oriente: "The union, which you are called to realize in your Churches, finds natural and full expression in the 'indefectible union with the Bishop of Rome"(ibid.). A union that demands a high price, not infrequently even martyrdom. The whole Church is very grateful for this.”"In order for our testimony to be credible, we are called to always seek " justice, godliness, faith, love, patience and gentleness "(ibid.; cf. 1 Tim 6:11 ), to a sober lifestyle in the image of Christ, who stripped himself to enrich us with his poverty (cf. 2 Cor 8:9); untiring zeal and that charity, fraternal and paternal, that the bishops , priests and faithful , especially if they live alone and marginalized , expect from us. I think, above all, of our priests in need of understanding and support, even on a personal level. They are entitled to our good example in things pertaining to God, as in any other activity of the Church. They are asking us for transparency in management of assets and concern for every weakness and need. All of this while observing that authentic synodal praxis, which is distinctive of the Eastern Churches.”The Holy Father received participants of the Plenary Assembly today at 12 in the Clementine Hall of the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. “The aim of this Session is to bring back the spirit of mercy of the Second Vatican Council and the subsequent magisterium on Eastern Christianity.”The Pope then turned his thoughts to the Middle East, the blessed land in which Christ lived, died and was resurrected. The light of faith in this land has not gone out, it is still shining bright. Every Catholic therefore has a debt of gratitude to the Churches in this region. One of the things we can learn from them is the effort that goes into their daily practise of the ecumenical spirit and interreligious dialogue.“Syria, Iraq, Egypt and areas of the Holy Land are still oozing tears. The Bishop of Rome will not be at peace for as long as there are still men and women of every religion, who have been robbed of their dignity and deprived of a future and all the basic things they need to survive and forced to become refugees and asylum seekers. Today, "together with the pastors of the Churches of the East", we appeal for "everyone's right to a dignified life and to freely profess their faith be respected. We should never resign ourselves to thinking of the Middle East without the Christians, who for two thousand years confess the name of Jesus, as full citizens in social, cultural and religious life of the nations to which they belong,” Francis said.Finally, the Pope asked the whole Church to encourage prayer. Prayer obtains reconciliation and peace from God’s merciful heart. Prayer takes away ignorance and inspires dialogue where there is open conflict. When it is sincere and persevering it makes our voice mild and resolute and able to listen to leaders of nations.

THE JEWS NEVER KILLED JESUS.WE ALL KILLED JESUS.WE ALL ARE JUST LUCKY THAT JESUS GIVES ANYONE HIS  FREE GIFT OF SALVATION.THAT WE CAN BE SAVED.AND LIVE ON EARTH WITH KING JESUS OUR JEWISH GOD AND MESSIAH. FOREVER-WHILE HE RULES FROM JERUSALEM FOREVER,LITERALLY.

Dutch Catholic TV airs Jews-killed-Jesus video

Broadcaster pulls clip, apologizes, after complaints

By JTA November 21, 2013, 3:06 pm 0-The times of Israel

AMSTERDAM — A Dutch Catholic public broadcaster has apologized for and pulled off the air a video clip featuring a song which accuses Jews of plotting to kill Jesus.The video, which was aired earlier this month at the end of a children’s program on the Rooms-Katholiek Kerkgenootschap, or Roman Catholic Church Association, television station, featured a song by Pearl Jozefzoon, about how Jews regarded Jesus. “Do not follow him. He is mad. Break him, break his heart. Kill him. Bury him with criticism, do not love him,” the lyrics said.The station, known as RKK, pulled the video off the air last week following complaints by the Dutch Israelite Religious Community umbrella organization, or NIK. The Dutch Trouw daily newspaper reported that the broadcaster apologized in a statement for airing the video.“Vilifying the Jewish people’s past is to vilify present-day Jews, especially when the audience are youths,” Ruben Vis, the NIK’s secretary and vice president of the European Jewish Congress, told Trouw. He added that “the church has done this for a very long time, and very well and effectively.”RKK’s broadcast of a Papal address received 4.2 million viewers earlier this year.The Dutch government currently provides subsidies of $18 million to nine religious broadcasters, including the the Dutch community’s Jewish broadcaster Joodse Omroep and RKK.

Moroccan parliament moves to outlaw contacts with Israelis

Even private dealings would be punishable by imprisonment; local NGO calls bill ‘inhuman’ and ‘influenced by Nazi tendencies’

By Raphael Ahren November 21, 2013, 12:11 pm 11-The times of Israel

A large majority of Moroccan lawmakers has proposed legislation that would outlaw any contacts with Israelis. If it is passed, even private or indirect dealings with the “Israeli entity” would become a criminal offense punishable by two to five years in prison and a heavy fine.Human rights groups denounced the initiative, including one Moroccan-based organization that called the bill “inhuman, anti-constitutional and antidemocratic” and suggested it was “influenced by Nazi tendencies.”The bill was proposed by five parties in the Moroccan House of Representatives — including that of Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane. Introduced earlier this summer, and largely unnoticed at the time, it was given the heading “Criminalizing Normalization with the Israeli Entity.”The proposed law seeks to prohibit attendance at or support for any “activity in Morocco in which a natural or legal person holding Israeli citizenship or being resident of the Israeli entity contributes, participates, or attends.”Earlier this month, four Moroccan lawmakers unexpectedly canceled their planned participation in a conference of regional parliamentarians in Jerusalem.“The proposal suggests to punish any economical, political, cultural, artistic or other contact with Israel or Israelis in Israel or in Morocco with two to five years of imprisonment, a fine of approximately €10,000 to €100,000, and the possibility of the removal of the right to a pension, dismissal from work or the removal of Moroccan citizenship,” Moroccan human rights group Dialogus stated Tuesday.Dialogus — which seeks to promote tolerance and fight discrimination, racism and anti-Semitism — said the bill “violates the letter and spirit of [Morocco’s] new Constitution of July 2011, which recognizes the plurality and openness of Moroccan society and the state, as stated in the preamble of the Constitution.”The proposal not only violates the Universal Declaration of Human Rights “and all international covenants and treaties on Human Rights, but also exposes an inhuman approach influenced by Nazi tendencies,” the group said in a statement.The bill was submitted jointly by five parties that together hold more than 70 percent of seats in the kingdom’s House of Representatives, including the prime minister’s Justice and Development Party and the Socialist Union of Popular Forces. It calls for the legal punishment of all Moroccan citizens and foreigners residing in Morocco in case of “any kind of cooperation or exchange with the Israeli entity… in any sector, political or economic or commercial or financial or cultural or athletic or artistic or tourist or press, and whether the parties of this cooperation or exchange are natural or legal, entities of public or private law… and whether the cooperation is direct or indirect.”The International Institute for Education and Research on Antisemitism, which is based in London and Berlin, condemned the bill. It pointed out, however, that it might never be signed into actual law.“In many aspects of Moroccan politics, ‘the Palace’ still remains in power, especially when it comes to questions of foreign policy,” the institute’s Kim Robin Stoller wrote in an article Wednesday. “So there is a chance that the proposal might not be discussed or voted upon in the parliament — especially if there is enough internal and international opposition to it.”Despite the absence of official diplomatic relations between Rabat and Jerusalem, thousands of Israelis visit Morocco every year, mostly tourists and businesspeople but also politicians participating in international conferences.However, “Morocco’s world standing as a relatively tolerant country might change for the worse, if the law proposed by the majority of Moroccan parliamentarian groups passes,” Stoller warned. “Many observers see this as a bad omen for Moroccan democratic development and relations with Western countries as well as with its own minority groups.”

Earlier in November, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean, a regional forum with observer status at the United Nations, conducted a high-level visit to the Middle East to discuss current peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. Four Moroccan lawmakers were scheduled to travel to Israel for meetings in the Knesset but canceled at the last moment. According to Knesset speaker Yuli Edelstein, PAM President Francesco Amoruso said the Moroccans decided to bow out after receiving “harsh criticism from the media” in their home country.“I regret the non-appearance of the MPs from Morocco. We made great efforts to enable them to enter Israel and were expecting their arrival,” Edelstein said. “Our door is always open to anyone, and we will happily continue to host discussions about cooperation between the countries of the region, for the future of our children and grandchildren.”The king of Morocco, Mohammed VI, is currently visiting the United States, where he is scheduled to meet with President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry.
