STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES

LUKE 21:25-26

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

No warm weather in sight for rest of February

CBC – FEB 25,14-yahoonews

There's no use hoping for a warm spell at the end of this month, as the forecast appears to show a very frosty end to February.Monday, as expected, was another cold day in Toronto. The temperatures recorded by Environment Canada at Pearson International Airport showed a high of –6 C during the daytime.
The city issued an extreme cold weather alert on Monday. The designation triggers additional services for the homeless to help ensure that those in need have a warm place to sleep.For the overnight, Environment Canada was calling for the mercury to plummet to –14 C, with 30 km/h to 50 km/h winds making it feel even colder. There is also a risk of some flurries on Monday night.The CBC's Ross Hull reports that there won’t be any major temperature swings toward the positive Celsius range anytime soon."For the rest of February … we're looking at cold conditions and into the weekend, too," Hull said Monday.Hull said that Toronto has dealt with colder than usual temperatures for the past two months.In January, the city would normally see an average of 13 days in which temperature stood at or above the freezing mark. This year, we had only eight.
In February, we would expect to see 14 days of temperatures in that range, but this year we had only six, Hull said.

Winter Comes Back: Return of the Polar Vortex?

By By Laura Poppick, Staff Writer -FEB 25,14-yahoonews

Another bout of painfully cold Arctic air is on its way to the northern United States, reviving talk of what has become popularly known as the "polar vortex."By Thursday, temperatures will have dropped to as low as 30 degrees Fahrenheit (17 degrees Celsius) below the average temperature for this time of the year, meteorologists say, with highs dipping down into the teens in New York City and into the single digits in Chicago. Average temperatures for this time of year in those regions are generally closer to 45 and 40 F (7.2 and 4.4 C), respectively, said Bernie Rayno, a meteorologist with Accuweather.While it's not necessarily inaccurate to refer to the event as the "polar vortex," Rayno said, the increased hype around this phrase since January's deep chill has warped people's perceptions of what is actually a fairly common weather phenomenon. [Weirdo Weather: 7 Rare Weather Events]-"We have seen this happen every winter in the past 24 years I have been a meteorologist, but this winter, it has happened more frequently in the upper Midwest and Northeast," Rayno told Live Science.The polar vortex, despite what its name may imply, is not a storm but a "planetary-scale mid- to high-latitude circumpolar cyclonic circulation, extending from the middle troposphere to the stratosphere," according to a portion of the American Meteorological Society's recently updated definition. (The middle troposphere and stratosphere are components of the Earth's atmosphere.)

That vortex is always present, Rayno said, but it's generally trapped at polar latitudes due to a barricade created by the jet stream, the air current that travels from west to east across the United States. But when the jet stream sinks farther south than usual due to changes in weather patterns, it can allow cold air to flood south and bathe the country in unusually bitter temperatures.While temperatures this week are not expected to plunge as low as they did in the January event, Rayno said that this may be the coldest event of the season relative to average temperatures for the time of year.And if the cold weren't enough to get folks anxious for spring to come, a snowstorm is also expected to hit the Northeast directly before the bitter temperatures descend on the region, Rayno said.Follow Laura Poppick on Twitter.

Merkel the UK's 'most important partner' on EU reform

24.02.14 @ 09:29-EUOBSERVER

By Benjamin Fox

BRUSSELS - German chancellor Angela Merkel is the UK's "most important partner" in reforming the EU, the UK foreign minister has said.Speaking on BBC television on Sunday (23 February), William Hague commented that the German leader "knows, and I believe she understands, what our Prime Minister David Cameron has been putting forward, that this is the age…of flexibility, accountability and competitiveness."
He added: "Germany is our most important partner on seeking reform in the European Union because it's Germany that has such a strong position in the eurozone, that has managed to maintain a dynamic economy itself."Cameron regards Merkel as a potentially key ally in his fight to reform the EU and re-negotiate Britain's membership terms over the next three years.Both are keen for the bloc to focus on improving economic competitiveness, cutting regulation for businesses and completing the single market.As a result, the German Chancellor is set to receive a lavish diplomatic welcome during her visit on Thursday, with an agenda that includes addressing both chambers of the Westminster Parliament and tea with the Queen.The 'red carpet' treatment is in stark contrast to recent visit by French president Francois Hollande, who was offered lunch in Cameron's local pub before giving a low-key press conference on anglo-french defence co-operation.Unlike Hollande who has dismissed calls for the EU treaties to be re-opened any time soon, Merkel is more amenable to the idea, although she wants any treaty revision to focus on deeper economic integration of the eurozone.However, the need for "some repatriation of powers" from Brussels was included in her christian democrat party's election manifesto last year.Officials have indicated that the EU's free movement rules will be on the agenda for talks, with both leaders keen to crack down on so-called 'benefits tourism'."I'm sure these subjects will come up," said Hague, adding: "Germany also has strict benefit rules, Germany does not want its benefits system to be abused." The allocation of the EU's top jobs following May's European elections and the crisis in Ukraine are also set to be discussed.

Western Ukrainians debunk fears of national split

24.02.14 @ 13:52-EUOBSERVER

By Andrew Rettman

Staryj Sambir - People who came to St. Mikolaj’s, in Staryj Sambir, near the Polish-Ukrainian border, on Sunday (23 February) to bury their hero listened to an appeal for national unity from the pulpit.Bohdan Solchanyk, a 29-year-old academic, was shot in Kiev last week.The crowd of 1,500 or so chanted revolutionary slogans as it carried his open casket through a throng of blue and gold Ukrainian flags and Ukrainian Orthodox Church banners to the hilltop church. But it fell silent as it entered St. Mikolaj’s, where Solchanyk’s embalmed face, with its short beard, recalled the icons on the walls.The local priest, Father Myhailo, said in his homily that the "Maidan," the Ukrainian uprising, is an event of European significance. “People came from all over Ukraine, but also from France, from Germany, from Poland, from Belgium, to stand up for human dignity,” he noted.He urged people not to “sell” their vote in the new elections in May.
He ended by calling on “all Ukrainians to come together to hold hands in a living chain, from Lviv to Donetsk, from Sevastopol to Kiev, and from Ivano-Frankivsk to Lutsk, so that no enemy can ever divide our country in two.”Under the circumstances, his homily could have been different.Solchanyk is believed to have been shot by a sniper from Russophone and Russian Orthodox east Ukraine.Viktor Yanukovych, the former president, and most of his ousted government come from the eastern Donbas region, where he is thought to have fled after his fall from power on Saturday.During the unrest, he brought special police from the east to Kiev because they were more willing to use violence against the, mostly western, protesters.
Ukraine’s divisions have also been a big topic in Russian and in Ukrainian state propaganda.Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has warned several times the Maidan will cause a civil war.Yanukovych said again on Saturday: “I will do everything to protect my country from breakup, to stop bloodshed.”The warnings, which conjure up memories of the 1990s Balkan conflicts, are being taken seriously by EU countries.On Sunday, the German foreign ministry said Chancellor Angela Merkel phoned Russian President Vladimir Putin to tell him “the territorial integrity of Ukraine must be preserved.”One EU foreign minister, speaking off the record, told EUobserver the Union had hoped Yanukovych would sign the EU’s association and free trade treaty last year “because he is from the east.”“It would have been better than if it is signed by a western Ukrainian politician, because it would show that eastern Ukraine also supports Euro-integration. It would have been better for the unity of the country,” the minister said.For many Ukrainians, the only risk of conflict is if Yanukovych or Putin try to orchestrate one from above, however.Oleksandr Sushko, an analyst at the Institute for Euro-Atlantic Co-operation, a think tank in Kiev, noted: “There is turbulence and there are differences between the regions but not to that extent. In sociological terms, there is absolutely no grounds for a split.”“The only region where the idea of secession is more or less popular is Crimea, because it’s the only region where ethnic Russians are in the majority,” he added.“But even here the risk is fully connected to the potential behaviour of some major political groups.”Ordinary western Ukrainians agree.Svitlana, 23, a civil society activist in Lviv, western Ukraine, has for the past five years invited young people from eastern cities to spend Christmas with families in Lviv.She acknowledged there are barriers.“They feel like they are coming to a foreign country. Some of them are scared to speak Russian on the street in case they get a bad reaction,“ she said.But she added: “They quickly realise that none of this is true. They go back home with a totally different attitude.”Igor, 51, a Lviv truck driver who has criss-crossed Ukraine, said eastern Ukrainians do not swallow everything they see on TV.He noted that Russian media have given lots of coverage to Stepan Bandera, a World War II-era western Ukrainian nationalist, who is associated with the red and black flag used by some Maidan militants.“They keep telling them [eastern Ukrainians] that if the Maidan wins, then ‘Banderists’ from the west will come and steal their lands. Nobody believes this rubbish,” he said.Father Myhailo’s appeal was echoed in Kiev over the weekend, when each member of Ukraine’s interim government pledged in parliament to work on behalf of “all Ukrainians.”For his part, Zinowiy, a 58-year-old construction site manager from Staryj Sambir who attended the St. Mikolaj mass, has a personal reason to bear a grudge against the east.He is a lifelong friend of Solchanyk’s father and remembers the dead man as a schoolboy. He described him as “the light” of Staryj Sambor because of his academic career, which saw him leave the village to teach modern history at Lviv university and to win a grant to study in Poland.Zinowiy also said that Solchanyk died so that everybody in Ukraine can have a better life, howeverHe described eastern Ukrainians as “educated people.”With the Maidan, in part, an uprising in support of closer EU-Ukraine ties, he told EUobserver: “They know what it means to become part of Russia. Millions of them have been to Russia, but millions of them have also been to Poland, or Germany. They can see that Europe is not paradise. But they see that people have much easier lives in Europe, that they have many more opportunities.”“Ukraine will not be split,” he said.

Millions of scam emails sent daily looking to scoop up personal information

By LuAnn LaSalle, The Canadian Press |-FEB 25,14-yahoonews

MONTREAL - Digitally connected young Canadians have become regular targets of phishing scams — fraudsters trying to steal personal information for financial gain, according to a new survey by Visa Canada.

The survey found that 92 per cent of respondents under age 35 confirmed they had been targeted by phishing scams for information such as bank accounts, passwords, card numbers and social insurance numbers."They're online, they're on their (mobile) phones, they're very well connected for the most part," Gord Jamieson, head of risk services at Visa Canada, said of that demographic.Conversely, scammers usually target seniors with a phone call at home, Jamieson said from Toronto.Overall, 84 per cent of the Canadians surveyed said they frequently received phishing scams and two-thirds said they would report them if they knew how.The survey was released Monday in advance of fraud prevention month in March.A separate study released by PwC, a global consulting firm, said only about one-quarter (22 per cent) of the Canadian companies responding to its 2014 survey indicated they had been affected by cybercrime.
That was far less than more traditional crimes such as theft (58 per cent) and procurement fraud (33 per cent) and about the same as accounting fraud (22 per cent).However, PwC said that cybercrime may be under-reported because it goes undetected. It also said the spread of cybercrime isn't strictly a technology problem."Businesses aren't being attacked by computers, but by people attempting to exploit human frailty as much as technical vulnerability. It is a strategy problem, a human problem and a process problem," said Steven Henderson, who leads PwC's Canadian forensic services.Visa Canada said about a third of the respondents to its survey admitted to having fallen prey to phishing scams.Unsolicited emails, text messages, mail and phone calls that have a "sense of urgency" and appear to require an immediate response or "your account could be closed" are typical tactics of phishing scams."They want you to respond and they try to put pressure on the recipient of that email to respond," Jamieson said.Besides asking for passwords and account numbers, signs of phishing scams often include bad grammar and misspelled words, although the scammers are getting better at that, he said.Fake emails can appear to be from banks, businesses, organizations or credit card companies asking for passwords and account numbers.However, Jamieson said banks and Visa don't send emails asking for customers personal information."We know who you are."There are 156 million phishing emails sent out globally every day, he noted.Jamieson said while emails shouldn't be opened, they shouldn't be deleted until after they're forwarded to law enforcement, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at info@antifraudcentre.ca; Visa's phishing@visa.com or reportphishing@apwg.org.Opening phishing emails can result in malware being installed on a user's computer that can steal passwords when doing online banking, for example.The survey also found that British Columbia residents received the most phishing messages at 89 per cent while Quebecers receive the fewest at 77 per cent.Albertans receive the most text phishing scams at 27 per cent, while residents of Atlantic provinces receive the most home phone phishing messages.Some 25 per cent of Prairie respondents always report phishing scams, the highest among all provinces, while 87 per cent of respondents in Ontario said they combated phishing by deleting or not responding, according to the survey.For the study, Pollara conducted an online survey of 1,007 Canadians between Jan. 13 and Jan. 16. The polling industry's professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.

Uganda's president signs anti-gay bill in defiance of Western pressure; prison looms for gays

By Rodney Muhumuza, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – FEB 25,14-yahoonews

ENTEBBE, Uganda - Uganda's president on Monday signed an anti-gay bill that punishes gay sex with up to life in prison, a measure likely to send Uganda's beleaguered gay community further underground as the police try to implement it amid fevered anti-gay sentiment across the country.Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said the bill, which goes into effect immediately, was needed because the West is promoting homosexuality in Africa.Museveni may have defied Western pressure to shelve the bill, four years and many versions after it was introduced, but his move — likely to galvanize support ahead of presidential elections — pleased many Ugandans who repeatedly urged him to sign the legislation.Nigeria's president similarly signed an anti-gay bill into law just over a month ago, sparking increased violence against gays who already were persecuted in mob attacks. Some watchdog groups warn a similar backlash of violence may occur in Uganda."Experience from other jurisdictions with similarly draconian laws, such as Nigeria or Russia, indicates that their implementation is often followed by a surge in violence against individuals thought to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender," the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission said in a statement Monday. "The Ugandan government has not indicated any plans to counter such violence or to investigate potential allegations of abuse."The Ugandan law calls for first-time offenders to be sentenced to 14 years in jail. It sets life imprisonment as the maximum penalty for "aggravated homosexuality," defined as repeated gay sex between consenting adults and acts involving a minor, a disabled person or where one partner is infected with HIV.Uganda's new anti-gay law has been condemned around the world.In Washington, White House press secretary Jay Carney called the law "abhorrent," urged its repeal and said the White House is reviewing its relationship with Uganda.U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay warned that the law would institutionalize discrimination and could encourage harassment and violence against gays.The office of European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in a statement said she is "is deeply concerned" by "draconian legislation" to criminalize homosexuality in Uganda.At least six people have already been arrested over alleged homosexual offences and more than a dozen have fled Uganda since lawmakers passed the bill in December, according to a prominent Ugandan gay activist, Pepe Julian Onziema."The president is making this decision because he has never met an openly gay person. That disappoints me," he said.Museveni signed the bill at the presidential palace as government officials, journalists and Ugandan scientists looked on. Government officials applauded after Museveni affixed his signature. Scientists had written a report which found there is no proven genetic basis for homosexuality, Museveni said, citing it as a reason for signing the bill."They should rehabilitate themselves and society should assist them to do so," Museveni said after signing the bill.Some European countries have threatened to cut aid to Uganda if the measure was enacted, though some EU officials have cautioned that interrupting development aid may not be the best reaction since it would harm Ugandans.U.S. President Barack Obama warned that signing the bill would "complicate" the East African country's relationship with Washington. After Museveni signed the bill, the White House said the U.S. would urge Uganda's government to repeal the "abhorrent law.""As President Obama has said, this law is more than an affront and a danger to the gay community in Uganda, it reflects poorly on the country's commitment to protecting the human rights of its people and will undermine public health, including efforts to fight HIV/AIDS," the statement said.But in signing the legislation passed by lawmakers, Museveni said he rejected such reaction as interference in Ugandan affairs."We Africans never seek to impose our view on others. If only they could let us alone," Museveni said. "We have been disappointed for a long time by the conduct of the West. There is now an attempt at social imperialism."
Museveni accused "arrogant and careless Western groups" of trying to recruit Ugandan children into homosexuality, but he did not name these purported groups.Museveni said he believes Western homosexuals have targeted poor Ugandans who then "prostitute" themselves for the money, an allegation repeated by the bill's Ugandan defenders. Museveni did not cite any examples of people he called "mercenary homosexuals."
Some critics believe Museveni signed the bill in hopes of galvanizing political support within his party, the National Resistance Movement, ahead of an upcoming meeting that is expected to endorse him as the party's sole choice in the 2016 presidential election.Fox Odoi, a Ugandan lawmaker who was once Museveni's legal adviser and the only legislator who publicly opposed the anti-gay measure, predicted more arrests over alleged homosexual offences now that the bill is law."I find it utterly primitive," he said. "But the president doesn't think so. It is a very dark day for the gay community. It is going to result in big harassment of gay people."The bill in its original draft called for the death penalty for some homosexual acts. That penalty was removed from the legislation following an international outcry.The bill is widely popular in Uganda, where it has been championed by Christian clerics and many politicians. Ugandan schoolchildren from various schools in the capital, Kampala, celebrated after Museveni signed the bill. With big smiles on their faces and arms stretched in jubilation, they held placards including one that said "Obama leave us alone: Homosexuals have no room in Uganda."The anti-gay measure was introduced in 2009 by a lawmaker with the ruling party who said the law was necessary to deter Western homosexuals from "recruiting" Ugandan children.That legislator, David Bahati, said Monday that the bill's enactment is "a triumph of our sovereignty, a victory for the people of Uganda, the children of Uganda."Several Ugandan gays say Bahati and other political leaders were influenced by conservative U.S. evangelicals who wanted to spread their anti-gay agenda in Africa.Homosexuality is criminalized in many African countries.___Associated Press reporter Juergen Baetz in Brussels, Belgium contributed to this report.

Asteroid strike on moon creates largest impact ever recorded

By Scott Sutherland | Geekquinox – FEB 25,14-yahoonews

Lae recorded a flash of light on the dark side of the moon. The bright flash occurred as just after 8 p.m. UTC, and the afterglow from it lasted a full eight seconds."At that moment I realized that I had seen a very rare and extraordinary event," Mediedo said in a press release from the Royal Astronomical Society.
A study of the impact (recorded in the video above), showed that it was likely produced by a rock somewhere between 0.6-1.4 metres wide and tipping the scales at 450 kilograms, smashing into the moon's surface travelling at around 61,000 kilometres per hour. The explosion was the equivalent of around 15 tons of TNT and likely formed a crater around 50 metres wide in the western portion on of the Mare Nubium ("sea of clouds").By comparison, the rock that hit the moon back in mid-March was estimated at 40-kilograms, between 0.3 to 0.4 metres wide, and travelling at nearly 90,000 kilometres per hour. Even impacting at around one-and-a-half times faster, this earlier explosion only produced about one third as much energy (the equivalent of about 5 tons of TNT).
[ More Geekquinox: Earth's oldest crystals confirmed to be 4.4 billion years old ]
There's still some uncertainty about the rock that produced this explosion, though. Since they didn't see the rock before it hit, the astronomers use the brightness of the explosion to figure out how much energy it produced, and then they can work backwards from there.
If the meteoroid or asteroid was a 'sporadic' — meaning that it's just a lone, random chunk of debris left over from the formation of the solar system — then they have the typical speeds these travel at and they worked out the size and mass, as above. However, sometimes these chunks of rock aren't by themselves. The explosion last March is thought to have been produced by a meteoroid that was part of a cluster of small objects encountered by both Earth and the moon, since several fireballs were seen in our atmosphere that at roughly the same time. If the rock that caused this most recent explosion was part of a larger meteor shower event, such as the September Epsilon Perseids, it would have been smaller and less massive (around 46 kg), but travelling much faster, around 190,000-234,000 km/h.One of the purposes of the MIDAS program is to help figure out where these objects come from. Their telescopes monitor the moon for impacts, while at the same time a network of all-sky cameras watch our skies for fireball meteors, which can help them trace back to the source if impacts are seen on both bodies. Also, the researchers have concluded from the program that these larger rocks, around one-metre in size, strike our atmosphere about 10 times more often than previously thought.Geek out with the latest in science and weather.Follow @ygeekquinox on Twitter!

Pope revolutionises Vatican finances, creating secretariat for the economy

(©Ansa) Card. Pell

Pope sets up a Secretariat with authority over all economic and administrative activities in the Vatican City State and the Holy See, headed by Cardinal Pell; creates an supervisory council for this body and establishes the post of Auditor General

gerard o'connell rome Pope Francis, in a revolutionary structural reform, has established a new Secretariat for the Economy which will have authority over all economic and administrative activities within the Holy See and the Vatican City State. He has appointed the Australian Cardinal, George Pell, one of his eight cardinal advisors, as prefect of this new structure, and has asked him to start work as soon as possible, the Vatican said in statement breaking the news on February 24. Elected on a mandate to reform the Roman Curia, Pope Francis has moved with determination and speed, as a matter of priority, to bring all its financial operations under control, and ensure the maximum transparency, rationalization and savings in this whole area which has been plagued by revelations of corruption, mismanagement and such like over many years that have greatly damaged the Church’s image. It should be noted however that the Institute for the Works of Religion (IOR, misnamed ‘the Vatican Bank’), is not mentioned in this papal decision which comes in the form of a Motu Proprio, that is a decree “on his own initiative”, that will be published in L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican daily, this evening. The Pope’s decision regarding the IOR will come at a later date.

The Argentinean Pope has decided that Cardinal Pell, who up to now has served as archbishop of Sydney, will prepare the final statutes and other related matters with the assistance of any necessary advisors.  He will work with the Pontifical Commission for Reference on the Organization of the Economic- Administrative Structure of the Holy See (COSEA to complete the implementation of these changes approved by the Holy Father.The Vatican said the Pope’s decision came after the Council of 8 Cardinal advisors and the Committee of 15 Cardinals which oversee the financial affairs of the Holy See endorsed the recommendations of “the rigorous review” conducted by the Pontifical Commission for Reference on the Organization of the Economic- Administrative Structure of the Holy See (COSEA).It revealed that COSEA had “recommended changes to simplify and consolidate existing management structures and improve coordination and oversight across the Holy See and Vatican City State”.  It said COSEA also “recommended more formal commitment to adopting accounting standards and generally accepted financial management and reporting practices as well as enhanced internal controls, transparency and governance.”
The Vatican said the changes “will enable more formal involvement of senior and experienced experts in financial administration, planning and reporting” and also “will ensure better use of resources, improving the support available for various programs, particularly our works with the poor and marginalized.”It said changes decided by Pope Francis include “the Establishment of a new Secretariat for the Economy which will have authority over all economic and administrative activities within the Holy See and the Vatican City State.”   It said this new Secretariat “will be responsible, among other things, for preparing an annual budget for the Holy See and Vatican City State as well as financial planning and various support functions such as human resources and procurement.” The Secretariat “will also be required to prepare detailed financial statements of the Holy See and Vatican State.”Furthermore, it said “the Secretariat for the Economy will implement policies determined by a new Council for the Economy - a 15 member Council comprised of 8 Cardinals or Bishops, reflecting various parts of the world and seven lay experts of different nationalities with strong professional financial experience.”  This new Council “will meet on a regular basis, to consider policies and practices and to prepare and analyze reports on the economic-administrative activities of the Holy See.” 
The new Secretariat for the Economy will be headed by a Cardinal Prefect, the Vatican said, and he will report to “the Council for the Economy.” He will be supported by a Secretary-General in the management of day to day activities. While the Pope has already appointed Cardinal Pell as Prefect, he has not yet announced the name of the Secretary General.In addition to all this, to ensure that there is utmost transparency and control over all the financial operations, the Vatican said the new arrangements include the appointment of an Auditor-General, “appointed by the Holy Father who will be empowered to conduct audits of any agency of the Holy See and Vatican City State at any time.”The Vatican said the changes decided upon by the Pope “will confirm the role of APSA as the Central bank of the Vatican with all the obligations and responsibilities of similar institutions around the world.”  Furthermore, “the Financial Information Authority (AIF) will continue to undertake its current and critical role of prudential supervision and regulation of activities within the Holy See and Vatican City State.”

German FM calls on Israel to make tough decisions

Ahead of Angela Merkel’s visit to Jerusalem, Frank-Walter Steinmeier says Berlin to stand by Israel, even if they don’t see eye-to-eye

By AP February 24, 2014, 2:04 am 2-The Times of Israel

JERUSALEM — A day before German chancellor Angela Merkel and nearly her entire Cabinet arrive in Israel, her foreign minister published an op-ed in an Israeli newspaper Sunday encouraging Israel to take the “difficult but necessary decisions” to allow US-led peace efforts to succeed.Germany is Israel’s closest European ally and the two governments hold a joint Cabinet session each year. But Israel has seen tensions rise of late with Europe, and also Germany, over its West Bank settlement policies.In her weekly video message, Merkel made clear over the weekend that she would be pressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the peace talks.The European Union has been outspoken in its criticism of the settlements, saying Israeli construction of homes in occupied territories claimed by the Palestinians is undermining hopes for a negotiated peace settlement. Merkel’s government has echoed the sentiments.A small, but growing number of European businesses and investment funds also have cut ties with firms involved in West Bank settlements, and the EU’s ambassador to Israel has warned the Jewish state faces increased isolation and threats of economic boycotts if peace talks collapse.In his column, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said that while Germany did not see eye-to-eye with Israel on all issues, it would stand by it.He praised Israel’s decision to enter negotiations with the Palestinians about the establishment of a Palestinian state.

“We support that vigorously and encourage Israel to make the difficult but necessary decisions,” he wrote.

“Israel sometimes feels isolated and misunderstood. The current debate about Europe’s policy toward Israel has once again brought those feelings into the foreground. But Israel does not stand alone,” he added.

Asked about the threat of boycotts and sanctions, German Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Sawsan Chebli, who is of Palestinian descent, said: “There are no sanctions against Israel and Germany would be the first country to oppose them.”Netanyahu said the peace talks, as well as international efforts to quell Iran’s nuclear program, would figure prominently in his meetings with Merkel. Germany belongs to the group of nations that are currently negotiating with Iran.The German delegation accompanying Merkel will be the largest German one ever to Israel and comes a year before the countries will mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations.In March 2008, Merkel and her Cabinet marked the 60th anniversary of Israel’s independence. During that three-day visit, Merkel addressed the Israeli parliament in German, and expressed shame over the Holocaust. The 20-minute speech earned Merkel a standing ovation.Earlier this month though, lawmakers from a nationalist Israeli political party stormed out of parliament to object to comments by the visiting president of the European Parliament, who is German.Martin Schulz enraged the lawmakers when he asked whether claims he had heard from a young Palestinian about Israel’s control over water resources were true.Naftali Bennett, head of the Jewish Home party, demanded an apology. “I will not accept untruthful patronizing of the people of Israel in our parliament, certainly not in German,” he said.

The figures cited by Schulz were indeed erroneous, but his general concern — that Israel consumes far more water than the Palestinians — was accurate, according to environmental groups.The annual joint Cabinet meetings highlight the strong bond between Israel and Germany seven decades after the Holocaust, when Nazi Germany killed 6 million Jews.The countries only established diplomatic relations in 1965, nearly two decades after the Holocaust. Germany has paid billions of dollars in reparations to Holocaust survivors, is a key trade partner and is now Israel’s closest ally in Europe.

Jordan won’t be Palestine, king says

Abdullah II warns domestic opponents that calling for the Hashemite Kingdom to be the Palestinian state is ‘sedition’

By Times of Israel staff February 24, 2014, 4:03 pm 4-The Times Of Israel

Jordan’s King Abdullah II lashed out on Sunday against domestic opponents arguing for Jordan to become the “alternative homeland” for the Palestinians.“Jordan is Jordan and Palestine is Palestine, and nothing else, not in the past or the future,” Abdullah reportedly said, according to the official Jordanian news agency Petra.Abdullah made the comments in a meeting with senior government officials, including Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour, Senate President Abdelraouf al-Rawabdeh, House of Representatives Speaker Atef Tarawneh, senior members of the judiciary and others.“We know how this issue has been surfacing [for the past] 15 years, or even more,” Abdullah said, and called talk of turning Jordan into a Palestinian state “sedition.”“There are more important issues to focus on, especially with regards to political and economic reform,” Abdullah insisted, and issued a warning to those advocating a change in the identity of the state: “We know this group, and if this issue is repeated next year, we will declare who they are by name.”The idea that Jordan might become the Palestinian nation-state has been advanced by some right-wing Israeli groups eager to find an alternative to the West Bank for a future Palestinian homeland. But Abdullah was speaking on Sunday to domestic critics whose talk of a possible Palestinian future for Jordan is intended as a critique of the monarchy.Approximately half of Jordan’s population is Palestinian in origin.Abdullah also told the assembled officials that the US was closely consulting with Jordan in the ongoing US-brokered peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, especially on the issues of “Jerusalem, the refugees, borders, water and security.”Jordan is a close ally of the United States, and was the second Arab state, after Egypt, to make peace with Israel. In a mid-February meeting between Abdullah and US President Barack Obama, the American administration pledged $1 billion in loan guarantees for Jordan to help offset an estimated $900 million in expenses related to the influx of refugees to the country from the Syrian civil war to the north.

Ahead of Merkel visit, PM talks peace on German TV

In interview with ZDF, Netanyahu lauds US Secretary of State John Kerry’s efforts to engage both sides in negotiations

By Aron Dónzis and Raphael Ahren February 24, 2014, 12:02 pm 3-The Times of Israel

In advance of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s landmark visit to Israel Monday along with her entire cabinet, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared in an interview with ZDF (Second German Television) his support for US Secretary of State John Kerry’s efforts to reach an agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.Israel wants peace, security, stability and prosperity, Netanyahu said, and added he is up to the challenge. “If President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority is equally willing to pursue these goals, then I think Secretary Kerry’s initiative has a chance.”Netanyahu said that he was willing to recognize a Palestinian state but did not understand why the Palestinians were not prepared to recognize Israel as a Jewish state in return, Channel 10 reported.Netanyahu also emphasized that sitting down to talk was the only way to reach peace.Merkel and her cabinet were due to arrive in Israel Monday night for a high-profile visit that will include the largest bilateral government consultations in Israel’s history. However, the trip, which officially kicks off the preparations for next year’s celebration of 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, is being overshadowed by reports of the worst crisis in diplomatic ties since Merkel took office nearly 10 years ago.Diplomatic relations have actually reached a “nadir,” according a report in Der Spiegel, Germany’s most important weekly news magazine.Although Germany is part of the P5+1 group currently negotiating with Iran over its nuclear program, points of contention mostly have to do with Jerusalem’s policies vis-à-vis the Palestinians.The relationship between Merkel and Netanyahu has been tense for years, partly because the Israeli prime minister allegedly leaked contents of a private conversation to the media but mainly because she doesn’t trust him. In the Federal Chancellery in Berlin there is a general distrust regarding Netanyahu’s commitment to a two-state solution.Merkel and her ministers will arrive at Ben-Gurion airport on Monday evening and immediately head to Jerusalem. At 8 p.m., the chancellor will attend a first private meeting with Netanyahu at the Prime Minister’s Office, and later dine with him. At the same time, the German ministers will attend a dinner with their Israeli counterparts elsewhere in Jerusalem.

On Tuesday morning, the German guests and their Israeli hosts will attend a series of bilateral meetings. At 10:30 a.m., the joint cabinet session is scheduled to take place at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, where the German delegation is staying. Following the historic G2G meeting, the ministers will sign several bilateral agreements and hold a joint press conference.The G2G consultation will focus on the topic of “innovation,” the deputy spokeswoman of the German government said Wednesday.After lunch, the German ministers will return home, while the chancellor is set to proceed to meetings with opposition leader Isaac Herzog and President Shimon Peres. At the President’s Residence, Peres will present Merkel with the Presidential Medal of Distinction, Israel’s highest civilian honor, and deliver statements to the press.About 24 hours after she arrives, the German chancellor will head back to Berlin.

Ukraine synagogue hit by firebombs

No injuries but extensive damage after vandals hurl Molotov cocktails at prayer hall in Zaporizhia, southeast of Kiev

By JTA February 24, 2014, 4:27 pm 3-the times of israel

A synagogue in eastern Ukraine sustained minor damage from firebombs hurled at it by unidentified individuals.The firebombs hit the Giymat Rosa Synagogue in Zaporizhia, located 250 miles southeast of Kiev, on the night of February 23, according to a report Monday on the news site timenews.in.ua.The website published photos that showed the traces of a fire on the facade of the balcony of the synagogue, which opened its doors in 2012.A spokesperson for the Zhovtneviy District where the synagogue is located said no one was hurt in the attack and that police were searching for suspects. Officers found the neck of a glass bottle which was used as a Molotov cocktail, according to the Central Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Several Ukrainian media reported erroneously that the attack happened in Kiev.The Ukrainian capital and other cities have seen the eruption of a wave of violent demonstrations that culminated this weekend with the apparent ousting of President Viktor Yanukovych.The country’s new acting government has issued a warrant for his arrest, accusing him of the murder of about 100 protesters who died in street clashes last week.The unrest began in November over Yanukovych’s refusal to sign a deal which would have tightened Ukraine’s ties with the European Union – a move which many saw as jeopardizing the country’s complicated relationship with Russia.Several Jewish communities in Kiev have beefed up their security arrangements during the unrest. Other communities put their activities on hold out of safety concerns.Ukraine has a Jewish population of 360,000 – 400,000 people, with roughly a quarter of all the country’s Jews residin

US warns Moscow of military move in Ukraine

Obama adviser Susan Rice says Washington seeking political solution to keep country from splitting

By AP February 23, 2014, 11:12 pm 4-The Times of Israel

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s national security adviser said Sunday it would be a “grave mistake” for Russia to intervene militarily in Ukraine.Susan Rice said on NBC television’s “Meet the Press” that in Obama’s phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday the two agreed that a political settlement in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, should ensure the unity of the country and the right of Ukrainians to express their free will. She was asked whether the White House fears Putin will send Russian troops into Ukraine.“That would be a grave mistake,” she said. “It’s not in the interest of Ukraine or of Russia or of Europe or the United States to see the country split.”Protesters occupied a main square in downtown Kiev late last year after President Viktor Yanukovych abandoned an agreement that would have strengthened his country’s ties with the European Union in favor of seeking closer cooperation with Moscow.

Rice said that in the weeks ahead, Washington will cooperate with Europe and international organizations to help the Ukrainian economy, which she described as fragile.Speaking on a separate Sunday show, Republican Sen. John McCain, a frequent critic of Obama’s foreign policy, echoed some of the same themes as Rice on seeking to help Ukraine.He said the United States needs to be clear with Putin that Ukrainians must be allowed to determine their own future and that partitioning the nation would be unacceptable.

“They want to be Western,” McCain said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” ”That’s what this whole hundreds of thousands in the square was all about. They don’t want to be Eastern.”McCain said he has spoken with an array of Ukrainians in the opposition movement in recent days. They are overjoyed, McCain said, but they are also worried about the economy.“Their economic situation is so dire that literally the economy is on the verge of collapse and they’re going to need help immediately,” McCain said.The White House has urged Ukraine to move swiftly to form a unity government and help restore order after a spate of deadly violence.

Months of protests turned violent last week, with scores killed in clashes between demonstrators and police.

Under a European-mediated plan, protest leaders and Yanukovych agreed Friday to form a new government and hold early elections. Parliament slashed the president’s powers and voted to release his chief rival, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, from prison.By Saturday, protesters had taken over the capital of Kiev and seized the president’s office as parliament voted to remove him and hold new elections. A top opposition figure assumed presidential powers on Sunday. Yanukovych called it a coup and insisted he would not step down, but his whereabouts and grip on power are unclear after he left Kiev for his support base in largely Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine.In urging calm, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Saturday that the US urged the prompt formation of a broad, technocratic government of national unity.

“We have consistently advocated a de-escalation of violence, constitutional change, a coalition government, and early elections, and today’s developments could move us closer to that goal,” Carney said in a statement. “The unshakeable principle guiding events must be that the people of Ukraine determine their own future.”The US also welcomed Tymoshenko’s release from a prison hospital.“We continue to urge an end to violence by all sides and a focus on peaceful, democratic dialogue, working pursuant to Ukraine’s constitution and through its institutions of government,” Carney said, adding that the US will continue to work with its allies, Russia, and European and international organizations “to support a strong, prosperous, unified, and democratic Ukraine.”Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov agreed on the need to resolve the situation without violence when they spoke by phone Saturday afternoon, the State Department said in a statement.Kerry “expressed the importance of encouraging Ukraine to move forward on a path towards constitutional change, de-escalation, the creation of a coalition government, early elections and rejection of violence,” the State Department said in describing the call.

Volunteers brave ‘war zone’ to aid elderly Jews in Kiev

Old and infirm in area of Independence Square, heart of Ukraine uprising, receive visits and care packages to the sound of sniper fire

By Amanda Borschel-Dan February 24, 2014, 1:26 am 0-The times of Israel

Although the capital of Ukraine is appreciably quieter than when the armed fighting escalated Thursday, violence has not fully subsided, making the provision of medical and food aid to the Jewish elderly of Kiev a far from simple affair.“Central Kiev looks like a war zone — you see the actual fighting,” the Joint Distribution Committee’s Ofer Glanz told The Times of Israel from Kiev Sunday night.Glanz, an Israeli who is the JDC’s former Soviet Union director, has shuttled between Tel Aviv and Kiev in the past week of violence and overthrow in Ukraine to supervise the smooth execution of the JDC’s mitigation plan. An emergency network of volunteers and professionals ensure the supply of food and medical care to the 80,000 or so elderly and infirm Jews the JDC serves in the country.Protests calling for the downfall of Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych took a violent turn Tuesday, and Thursday’s bloody battles left dozens dead and hundreds wounded. On Saturday, Yanukovych fled the capital, and jailed opposition leader and former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko was freed after nearly three years behind bars.Ukraine is deeply divided between eastern regions that are largely pro-Russian and western areas that seek closer ties with the European Union. Yanukovych’s shelving of an agreement with the EU in November set off the wave of protests, but demonstrators quickly expanded their grievances to corruption, human rights abuses and calls for Yanukovych’s resignation.By Saturday, protesters had taken over the capital of Kiev and seized the president’s office as parliament voted to remove him and hold new presidential elections on May 25.

The parliament, in a special session Sunday, voted overwhelmingly to temporarily hand the president’s powers to speaker Oleksandr Turchinov, a top ally of Tymoshenko.Glanz said the JDC’s mitigation plan was formed months ago when the protests began, based on similar experiences in the former Soviet Union and elsewhere. “About two months ago we had some assumptions that one of the possible scenarios is that the situation would deteriorate,” said Glanz.The JDC, said Glanz, works in Ukraine supporting the local Jewish population, which it estimates at 300,000 based on Jewish community data. (Other estimates place the Jewish population at roughly 67,000.) It operates through a network of some 30 charity operations, largely under Hesed Kiev, supporting elderly Jews at various requirement levels through home care, material support, food, and social clubs.“Many are living in an area where there is violence and cannot leave home,” said Glanz. These are pensioners, often poor, some of whom are living alone in the heart of the war zone near Independence Square.“It is not a nice situation: These elderly people are living alone and hear Molotov cocktails, crossfire and snipers,” said Glanz.Although evacuation was offered to those living in the most dangerous areas — and some did leave — some of those who remained and are most in need have someone staying with them, said Glanz.“I have seen people here — we consider them real heroes — supplying food to elderly clients in areas with snipers and Molotov cocktails. It is real avodat kodesh (holy work),” said Glanz.One of Kiev’s four chief rabbis called for Jews to evacuate the city on Friday. ”I told my congregation to leave the city center or the city altogether and if possible the country too… There are constant warnings about intentions to attack Jewish institutions,” Rabbi Moshe Reuven Azman told Maariv.

When asked if he has witnessed a mass flight from within the Jewish community, Glanz said, “This is not a Jewish issue, not an anti-Semitic issue.”On Sunday, as Glanz walked in war-torn areas of Kiev, there were “no anti-Jewish slogans, at least in the streets and in the epicenter of the demonstration, and I didn’t witness any anti-Jewish issues being brought up by anyone.”Azman concurs that the violence has lessened and told Maariv, “Things could be a lot worse” in Ukraine. Azman, a messianic Chabadnik, said women and children should not be out on the streets, but “there is no need to run away from Ukraine.”‘It is a miracle of the month of Adar that the whole struggle is behind us’“It is a miracle of the month of Adar [the Hebrew month in which the biblical Queen Esther and the Jews of Persia were saved from genocide] that the whole struggle is behind us,” said Azman.According to Israel National News, however, there is some danger to Jews. The online news magazine cites a “Russian-language source” Saturday saying that the police are openly threatening the Jewish community there.In a separate article, Israel National News quoted Hatzalah Ukraine chairman Rabbi Hillel Cohen saying, “Now that Yanukovych is gone it appears to be over, but actually it is during transition times like these that the danger increases.”Cohen said the crisis was abating, but “until order is restored, we are recommending that everyone act with great caution.”As a means to enhance security at Jewish institutions in Ukraine, the Jewish Agency for Israel announced Saturday it will provide immediate emergency assistance from its Emergency Assistance Fund for Jewish Communities, a fund created following the March 2012 terror attack in Toulouse.“We have a moral responsibility to ensure the safety and security of Ukraine’s Jews… The Jewish Agency’s assistance aims to increase security at Jewish communal institutions in Ukraine,” said Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky.There is speculation this fund will be soon be used if extremist party Svoboda gains traction in the upheaval. The neo-Nazi party, which has been on the forefront of the protest movement, has members who have been linked to the reburial and glorification of Nazis and many other anti-Semitic incidents in the past year.AP contributed to this report

14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.

19 And ye (MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL) shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.(RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS)
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I (GOD-JESUS) will set my glory among the heathen,(WORLD NATIONS) and all the heathen (WORLD NATIONS) shall see my judgment that I have executed,(AGAINST ISRAELS ENEMIES) and my (GODS) hand that I have laid upon them.(ISRAELS HATER ENEMIES)

Egypt’s Morsi accused of leaking secrets to Iran

Former president could face capital punishment for allegedly sending classified data to Islamic Republic’s Revolutionary Guards

By AFP and AP February 23, 2014, 9:00 pm 4-The Times of Israel

CAIRO — Prosecutors Sunday accused deposed president Mohammed Morsi of leaking state secrets to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards as part of a plot to destabilize Egypt, at the second hearing of his trial for espionage.The trial, one of three that are under way against Morsi, is part of a relentless government crackdown targeting him and his Muslim Brotherhood movement since his ouster by the army in July.

Prosecutors accuse Morsi and 35 others, including leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, of conspiring with foreign powers, Palestinian militant movement Hamas and Shiite Iran to destabilize Egypt.On Sunday, the second hearing since the trial opened on February 16, they detailed the charges against Morsi and his co-defendants.They were specifically accused of “delivering to a foreign country… national defense secrets and providing the Iranian Revolutionary Guards with security reports in order to destabilize the security and stability of the country”.The statement read in court did not identify the “foreign country”.But prosecutors said Morsi and the defendants carried out espionage activities on behalf of the “international Muslim Brotherhood organisation and Hamas with an aim to perpetrate terror attacks in the country in order to spread chaos and topple the state” from 2005 to August 2013.The case’s chief prosecutor, Tamer el-Firgani, said Morsi, his aides and senior Brotherhood members had “handed over secrets to foreign countries, among them national defense secrets, and handed over a number of security reports to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in order to destabilize the country’s security and stability.”El-Firgani, divulging details of the charges, said national security reports meant for only Morsi to see were emailed to some of these foreign militant groups. One report, he said, was sent to the Iranians about the activities of Shiite Muslims in Egypt. Iran is mostly Shiite.Morsi started off his time in office with repeated tirades against Iran over its support to Syrian President Bashar Assad, but soon warmed up to the Islamic Republic, allowing its tourists to come to Egypt for the first time in decades and founding a four-nation contact group on the Syrian war that included Iran.

During Morsi’s one year presidency, ties also flourished between Cairo and Hamas, a Palestinian affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood which rules neighboring Gaza.But since July, Egypt’s military-installed government has accused Hamas of backing Morsi and his Brotherhood, and carrying out terrorist attacks inside the country.Morsi and his co-defendants were present at the hearing without their defense team, which had walked out of the previous hearing in protest over the fact that the defendants were being held in a glass sound-proof cage. Defense lawyers appointed by the bar association were present in their place.The cage was introduced after Morsi and his co-defendants interrupted the proceedings of other court cases by talking over the judge and chanting slogans. The cage is fitted to give the judge sole control over whether the defendants can be heard or not when speaking.But this did not stop defendants including Brotherhood supreme guide Mohammed Badie, his deputy Khairat el-Shater and other Islamist leaders from shouting and rejecting the accusations against them.“Void, void,” they shouted when the judge asked them if they accepted the charges, an AFP correspondent said.If found guilty, the defendants could face the death penalty.

Most of the defendants were also accused of moving armed groups in and out of Egypt in January 2011, in a bid to attack army and police installations and prisons to facilitate the escape of inmates.Also on Sunday the defendants were represented by a new team of 10 defense lawyers appointed by the lawyers’ union, to replace the original team that withdrew from the case.The trial was adjourned to February 27.Morsi is already on trial for the killing of protesters during his presidency and a jailbreak during the 2011 uprising that ousted his predecessor Hosni Mubarak.Egypt’s first democratically-elected president, also faces trial for “insulting the judiciary”. A date for that has yet to be set.

Gantz: Iran ‘handing out torches to pyromaniacs’

IDF chief of staff says Islamic Republic is directly involved in fostering instability across all of Israel’s borders

By Adiv Sterman February 23, 2014, 6:19 pm 3-The times of Israel

Iran and its surrogates are ceaselessly attempting to destabilize and compromise Israel’s borders, with the Islamic Republic directly involved in each and every one of the regional conflicts in countries surrounding the Jewish state, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz said Sunday.During a visit to the Golan Heights, Gantz stated that Israel’s army was tirelessly working to ensure that its borders remain safe, but added that regional unrest was providing fertile ground for a highly explosive situation.Iran “is handing out torches to pyromaniacs,” the IDF chief of staff said. “[It is providing its surrogates with] ammunition, rockets, and is heavily involving itself in the fighting.”Gantz added that the relative quiet along Israel’s borders was misleading, and that hostile forces were constantly attempting to find and take advantage of Israeli security vulnerabilities.“Each and every one of our fronts is in a tense state right now,” he said. “Quiet, I would say, yet tense, everyday.”

Also Sunday, US Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman and Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz held a nearly five-hour meeting in Jerusalem to discuss the technological, political and intelligence aspects of the Iranian nuclear program, as well as the interim agreement signed between the Islamic Republic and the P5+1 world powers in Geneva last November and the ongoing talks on a permanent accord.During the Meeting, Steinitz reiterated Israel’s stance that any final agreement with Iran must ensure that the Tehran dismantles its capacity to develop nuclear weapons.On Saturday, Sherman stated that the US is committed to reaching a final deal with Iran by July. Sherman added that the US would never allow Tehran to produce nuclear arms.

The undersecretary said the US had begun “tough negotiations” that will continue through July, by which time she hopes the sides will reach a comprehensive agreement.The P5+1 and Iran are set to reconvene in Vienna on March 17, having met in the Austrian capital last week.The talks are designed to build on a first-step deal reached in November that commits Iran to initial nuclear curbs in return for some easing of sanctions.

The deal can be extended by mutual consent after six months.Times of Israel Staff and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
