HOARDING OF GOLD AND SILVER

JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.(IN 1 HR THE STOCK MARKETS WORLDWIDE WILL CRASH)
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed:(CONFISCATED) their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

LUKE 2:1-3

Deutsche Bank Tally of Suspect Russia Trades at $10 Billion-Gregory White-Stephanie Baker- Keri Geiger-December 22, 2015 — 3:30 AM EST-bloomberg

Deutsche Bank AG has identified as much as $4 billion in suspicious transactions related to its Russian operations, in addition to $6 billion in so-called mirror trades it is examining, said several people with knowledge of the bank’s review of the matter.That means the Frankfurt-based bank flagged as much as $10 billion in total trades that may not have been vetted for money laundering as clients moved money out of Russia. Among the previously unreported trades under scrutiny are ones that consistently went in the same direction -- primarily buy orders, for example -- according to people familiar with the matter.Germany’s largest lender shared those findings with international authorities in September, according to two people familiar with the bank’s report on the trades. U.S. prosecutors were previously reported to be looking into whether Deutsche Bank’s handling of the mirror trades may have violated U.S. anti-money laundering rules. The U.S. officials have also been made aware of the additional suspicious trades, said the people familiar with the matter. While Russia’s central bank levied a small fine on Deutsche Bank after looking into some of the bank’s trading in the country, the U.S. Justice Department’s investigation continues. Should regulators find violations in laws or regulations, the overall tally of trades could be one factor in deciding an ultimate fine or penalty. U.S. Justice Department spokesmen declined to comment.Deutsche Bank’s internal review, conducted over the past year, came as many of the lender’s other activities drew international scrutiny. During that time, the bank paid about $2.75 billion to settle a U.S. probe into sanctions-law violation and U.S. and British investigations into the rigging of benchmark interest rates, admitting misconduct in both cases. It has also disclosed it is under U.S. investigations related to potential currency-market rigging and metals-price manipulation.-Same Accounts-The first indication that the bank was reviewing its Russian operation emerged in June, when people familiar with the matter said the bank was looking into several years of mirror trades -- in which clients bought shares in Russia and simultaneously sold similar shares abroad in foreign currency -- beginning in 2012.As the bank examined whether the mirror trades were subject to proper internal controls, it asked similar questions that led it to the other $4 billion or so in transactions, said the people familiar with the review. Some of those trades were connected to the same accounts that benefited from the mirror trades, the people said.Deutsche Bank said in October that its review of Russian transactions had turned up violations of its internal policies and deficiencies in controls. It told investors that it had increased its litigation reserves by 1.2 billion euros ($1.3 billion), mainly to cover possible liabilities related to its Russia operation.The bank declined to comment on the broader tally of trades. Amanda Williams, a spokeswoman, referred to an interim report put out in October, which disclosed that the bank is investigating a “significant” volume of offsetting equity trades by clients in Moscow and London. Regulators and law-enforcement agencies in Germany, Russia, the U.K. and U.S. have been advised of the review, according to the statement.-Russia Sought Review-The bank’s internal review of its Russia trading began after the country’s central bank asked it in October 2014 to review certain clients’ accounts, people familiar with it have said.The mirror trades, as described in a Russian central bank report earlier this year on Deutsche Bank, involved clients buying Russian shares for rubles in Moscow and simultaneously selling them in London, usually for dollars, according to people familiar with the central bank’s findings.That sort of trade, while legal in some circumstances, can also be used to skirt U.S. rules on reporting large international movements of money.Assets in some of the accounts under review at Deutsche Bank were believed to belong to close associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin, people familiar with the matter have said. These associates include a relative of the president and two of his longtime friends, Arkady and Boris Rotenberg, the people said.-Fine of $5,000-There’s no indication that the Rotenbergs or other individuals possibly linked to the accounts are under investigation for the trades. A representative for the Rotenbergs reiterated on Dec. 21 that the brothers weren’t involved in any such transactions. A Kremlin spokesman has declined to comment on what he characterized as unsubstantiated allegations.The Russian central bank, which examined about a year of mirror trades, fined Deutsche Bank the equivalent of about $5,000, largely for procedural shortcomings, according to people familiar with the report. The Russian regulator concluded the bank was a victim of an illegal scheme and had addressed its technical shortcomings, according to a person familiar with the central bank’s findings. The Russian central bank declined to comment.In recent months, Deutsche Bank shut much of its Moscow operation, saying it wanted to simplify operations. It also said it has taken disciplinary action against individuals in the matter. In November, the bank said it would stop accepting new customers in locations with high risk ratings while it reviews how it vets account-holders.

A Little More Inflation Would Be Good for Everyone-Craig Torres-Simon Kennedy-December 22, 2015 — 12:01 AM EST-bloomberg

Monty Bennett hasn’t seen anything quite like today’s stubbornly low inflation in his long career as a hotelier.Occupancy at the Ashford Group of Companies’ 143 properties is at all-time highs, yet Bennett still finds it difficult to raise room prices as aggressively as he expected at this stage in the U.S. economic expansion.“When we take rates up too much, we will see demand slacken; and that will cause us to push them back down,” said Bennett, the Dallas-based company’s founder and chief executive officer.Bennett’s description of consumer businesses’ tentative pricing power these days is the Holy Grail that central bankers, including Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, sought for decades. Now, though, in what might seem like a strange twist on conventional economics, she and her colleagues are raising interest rates while simultan eously trying to make clear to the public they don’t want inflation to hang around zero for too long. They reiterated their desire last week to see it climb to 2 percent after boosting borrowing costs for the first time since 2006.The Fed has missed its goal for more than three-and-a-half years, and it doesn’t expect the pace of price gains to approach the target until the end of 2017. Central bankers also are missing inflation targets in Sweden, the euro area, U.K., Japan and even New Zealand, which pioneered the strategy of trying to deliver a specific rate.-Return to Zero-Thirty years ago, any policy maker would have welcomed a run of inflation below 2 percent. But the less inflation there is, the lower central-bank rates will be, making a return trip to zero more likely. That would force officials to resort, once again, to unconventional tools such as bond-buying that can be politically unpopular and less effective in restoring jobs and growth.“We’re not saying goodbye forever to the zero lower-bound and the problems that it causes,” former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers told Bloomberg on Dec. 15. “When we get to recession, we usually need 300 basis points or more of Fed easing, but there’s simply not going to be room for that.”Fed officials stressed their commitment to their target last week, saying they need “actual and expected progress” on prices to keep pushing borrowing costs up. That’s a higher bar than in October, when policy makers said they only needed to be “reasonably confident” inflation would move back to 2 percent.-Monitor Performance-“We really need to monitor, over time, actual inflation performance to make sure that it is conforming” to the Fed’s forecast, Yellen told reporters on Wednesday after raising the benchmark federal funds rate from near zero.The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the personal consumption expenditures price index, rose 0.2 percent for the year ending October. Minus energy prices, which are depressing the overall index, and food, the measure rose 1.3 percent.The Fed sees the extended rout in energy prices eventually hitting bottom, according to the statement after last week’s meeting. Policy makers also said labor someday will be scarce enough that workers can bargain wages higher and have more pocket money to spend, allowing executives such as Bennett to raise prices.-More Shocks-It’s a forecast and a gamble. Just how and when wages translate into higher prices is a process that isn’t well understood. And there could be more shocks -- another rise in the dollar or continued weakness in oil prices -- that depress inflation for a longer period. A target-miss extending out five or six more years could erode confidence that inflation ever will return to 2 percent, undermining the Fed’s credibility. This would make its work even harder.The global environment isn’t helping. In fact, none of the Group of Seven nations will see inflation above 2 percent this year for the first time since 1932, according to data compiled by economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff.The annual rate hasn’t been at the European Central Bank’s target of just below 2 percent since 2013 and has averaged 1.2 percent under President Mario Draghi’s watch, putting him at risk of being the first ECB president who fails to meet his mandate. In delivering fresh stimulus this month, the ECB forecast inflation will accelerate from 0.1 percent this year to just 1 percent next year and 1.6 percent in 2017.-Vanquish Deflation Risk-It “will disappoint and just isn’t going to pick up as much as they think,” said Richard Barwell, an economist at BNP Paribas Investment Partners in London. He argues Draghi should be more explicit in saying he will allow it to run above target for a time to vanquish the risk of deflation.In the U.K., inflation edged back above zero in November for the first time in four months -- still way below the Bank of England’s 2 percent goal, which it doesn’t expect to reach until late 2017. Citigroup Inc. estimates the pace this year may have averaged zero, the lowest since the 1930s.“We suspect that 2016 will see low but positive inflation,” said Michael Saunders, Citigroup’s chief European economist. “In other words, an end to deflation but continued low-flation.”Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda has yet to achieve his 2 percent goal more than two years after ramping up quantitative easing. Instead, prices are rising, at most, about 1.2 percent, according to a measure that strips out fresh food and energy. Board members don’t anticipate reaching their target until the latter part of the 2016 fiscal year, which ends March 2017. Even then, many economists say, it may be missed.-Patient Policy Makers-As long as global economies don’t get stuck in a low-inflation world, there is a lot that’s positive about lower prices, including the potential to boost household consumption, which accounts for almost 70 percent of the U.S. economy. That may be one reason why central bankers including Yellen appear patient to let inflation rise over the next couple of years.“I don’t have a lot of sympathy that cheap oil is having only negative effects,” said Mark Spindel, chief investment officer at Potomac River Capital LLC, a $700 million Washington hedge fund that specializes in inflation analysis. “The Fed canon is still accurate when thinking about cheap energy: It drives spending.” Bennett, a second-generation hotelier, would welcome a little more pricing power, which would “help everything.” Some of his properties are in locales with legislated minimum-wage increases and “we have not been able to pass those costs along to the consumer,” he said.

Hezbollah leader: Israel killed Kuntar, we will avenge his death-Nasrallah says terrorist ‘only wanted to fight Israel,’ warns group will act ‘at the time and place of our choosing’-By Times of Israel staff and AFP December 21, 2015, 9:52 pm

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah vowed in a televised address Monday evening that his Lebanon-based Shiite terror group would respond to the killing of notorious operative Samir Kuntar, which it blamed on Israel.“We reserve the right to respond to this assassination at the time and place of our choosing. We in Hezbollah will exercise that right,” he said in his address from Beirut.Hezbollah has said Kuntar, who spent nearly three decades in an Israeli prison for his part in the brutal 1979 murders of a Nahariya family, was killed along with eight others in an overnight Saturday airstrike on a residential building in Jaramana, on the outskirts of the Syrian capital of Damascus.“I hold Israel responsible for the assassination of Kuntar,” Nasrallah said.Nasrallah recalled the first time he met Kuntar after he was released from prison in Israel.“ Kuntar told me the first day we met, ‘I left Palestine to return to Palestine,'” he said. “Kuntar refused to take any political or public responsibilities, he only wanted to fight Israel.”The Hezbollah leader accused Israel of firing guided missiles at the building where Kuntar was living. He dismissed some Syrian reports to the effect that it wasn’t Israel, but rather rebels, who killed Kuntar.“We have no doubt that the Israeli enemy was behind the assassination in a blatant military operation,” he said, according to the Naharnet news site. Nasrallah also praised the Palestinian youths who have been involved in the current wave of terror attacks against Israel, and noted admiringly that Kuntar was only a teenager himself when he carried out his most notorious attack, in which he smashed in the head of an Israeli child.Earlier in the day, during Kuntar’s funeral in a Hezbollah stronghold south of the capital Beirut, the terror group’s Executive Assembly chief Hashim Safi Al Din threatened revenge against Israel for the slaying.“If the Israeli thinks he settled the score with Kuntar’s assassination, then he is wrong,” Al Din said. “He knows he only set new scores. If Israel hasn’t learned from all of its failed attempts to assassinate senior commanders, then it ought to know it committed a new stupid act by assassinating Kuntar.”Israel has not confirmed that it was behind the attack, although officials have expressed satisfaction over Kuntar’s death. There have also been Israeli reports that Kuntar was planning fresh terror attacks against Israel.A Lebanese Druze, Kuntar took part in the 1979 raid from Lebanon in which he helped kidnap members of the Haran family from Nahariya. The family’s four- year-old daughter, Einat, was killed when Kuntar smashed her head with his rifle butt. Three others, including her father, Danny, were also murdered in the attack. Kuntar was 16 at the time, and a member of the Palestine Liberation Front.Kuntar spent 29 years in an Israeli prison before being traded to Hezbollah in 2008 in exchange for the bodies of abducted Israel Defense Forces soldiers Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser. Following his release, he took on a senior role in the group, was honored by then-Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and by Syrian President Bashar Assad, and helped to organize Syrian Druze on the Golan Heights and elsewhere into terror cells charged with carrying out attacks against Israel.

Cops arrest East Jerusalem girl caught with knife for second time-15-year-old was detained two weeks ago, but released when she claimed the blade was for home use, police say-By Judah Ari Gross December 21, 2015, 10:30 pm-the times of israel

Police officers in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem Old City on Monday arrested an East Jerusalem teenage girl found in possession of a knife, on suspicion she was planning to carry out a stabbing attack.This was the second time in two weeks the 15-year-old had been detained for carrying a knife, the police said in a statement.The teenager “raised the suspicions” of police officers in the Jewish Quarter, who called for her to halt. The police initially reported that the knife had been found in the 15-year-old’s purse, but later clarified that it had, in fact, been hidden in her sleeve. As a result, they brought the teen in for questioning.When officers checked the girl’s information, they found that she had been arrested two weeks before, under the same suspicion.The girl, who was not named, was released a few days after her first arrest, when she claimed the knife in her bag was purchased for use in her family’s home. However, police now believe that she was preparing to attack Jewish Israelis.“The way she took out the knife today — and other pieces of information that have been collected — increase the suspicion, and it appears as though the officers prevented the injury of innocent civilians today, thanks to their awareness and sensitivity to aberrations,” the Israel Police said in a statement Monday evening.Jerusalem’s Old City has been a frequent site of stabbing attacks in the ongoing cycle of violence, with many attacks taking place at Damascus Gate.

The Islamic State is barring civilians from leaving its stronghold in the Iraqi city of Ramadi, as the country’s military gears up to attack and retake the key location seized by the Islamist militants in May, Reuters reported Monday.“There are families that managed to escape the gangs of Daesh,” Iraqi defense ministry spokesman Naseer Nuri told Reuters, using an Arabic acronym for the group.“There is intelligence information from inside the city that they are preventing families from leaving; they plan to use them as human shields.”Iraqi state TV quoted the country’s chief of staff as saying Monday that the attack on Ramadi would begin “in the coming hours.”Leaflets dropped by Iraqi military planes Sunday called on residents — estimated at anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 — to leave their homes within 72 hours. The leaflets showed safe routes of escape and advised residents to take identification documents with them.IS overran large parts of Iraq in June 2014, including major territory in Anbar, which stretches from the borders with Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia to the western approach to Baghdad.The Iraqi government and IS battled over Ramadi, the provincial capital of Anbar province, from October 2014 until May, when IS forces blitzed them out with dozens of massive suicide truck bombs. Since then, the Iraqi military and militias backed by US-led airstrikes have spent months fighting to defend the area around the city.There are currently 3,500 US troops in Iraq in a training, advisory and assistance role, who have been helping the Iraqi army prepare for the battle to retake Ramadi.

In leaked tape, ex-Argentine FM says Iran bombed Jewish center-During 2012 conversation with local Jewish leaders, Hector Timerman declared, ’18 years ago they planted the bomb’-By JTA December 21, 2015, 9:26 pm-the times of israel

BUENOS AIRES — Argentina’s former foreign minister said on secretly recorded phone conversations that Iran was responsible for the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires while he was negotiating with Tehran.The conversations featuring Hector Timerman, who is Jewish, were released Friday by the Argentine radio station Mitre.In the leaked recordings of conversations with leaders of the Argentine Jewish community, Timerman defends the efforts made by the government of then-president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, saying the only goal is to solve the AMIA case. Timerman justifies the negotiations with Iran to jointly investigate the attack, saying “Eighteen years ago they planted the bomb.”The bombing left 85 dead and hundreds wounded.The conversations took place in 2012, when AMIA criticized the negotiations with Iran. In the first recording, Timerman is speaking with Guillermo Borger, then the president of the AMIA Jewish community organization.Timerman says: “I’m calling you because it hurts. It hurts me as a Jew to hear the critics from AMIA. And it seems that the best choice is to do nothing, and if we [the government] do nothing, the AMIA will be happy. But I’m doing this for AMIA.”The foreign minister also said that AMIA prosecutor Alberto Nisman told him in a private call that he was in favor of the negotiations, but after Iran and Argentina signed memorandum of understanding to jointly investigate the bombing, Nisman challenged the agreement, asking a federal judge to declare it unconstitutional.In the second tape, AMIA vice president Jose Scaliter also joins the conversation:Borger: “We don’t regard Iran as valid [as a negotiating partner].”Timerman: “And who do you want me to negotiate with, Switzerland?”Borger: “I will just say that Iran lies, is not credible and denies the Holocaust.”Timerman: “But we don’t have anyone else to negotiate with […] Well, tell me who you want me to negotiate with?”Later, Borger says: “I hope you can negotiate with another …”Timerman: “If there was someone else, they [the Iranians] wouldn’t have planted the bomb. So we are back to the beginning. Do you have someone else for me to negotiate with?”Scaliter: “We don’t tell you with whom you must negotiate.”Timerman: “No, you tell me with who cannot negotiate.”Scaliter: “Right.”Timerman: “Ah, are you smart.”Later, Borger says that the special AMIA prosecutor, Alberto Nisman, “carried out a serious and important investigation and says Iran did it.”Timerman: “So?”Borger: “… so I will trust him if they will present to the justice.”Timerman: “So how do you want me to bring them [the Iranian fugitives to Argentina]? You never know what should be done.”Nisman was found dead in his Buenos Aires apartment on January 18. The cause of his shooting death has yet to be determined.The recording was released by Radio Mitre on a program called “La noticia deseada,” or “the desired news,” on Friday when guest journalist Daniel Santoro provided the recordings that he used in his book, “Nisman debe Morir,” or “Nisman should die.”In 2015, Timerman resigned his AMIA membership, expressing his “indeclinable resignation” due to the “obstructionist actions” that the institution had made against a deal with Iran to investigate the attack.Though Argentina has accused the Iranian government of directing the bombing, and the Lebanon-based terror group Hezbollah of carrying it out, no arrests have been made in the case. Six Iranians have been on the Interpol international police agency’s most wanted list since 2007 in connection with the bombing.The new government of Argentina last week effectively voided an agreement with Iran to jointly investigate the bombing. In its first week of operation, the government under President Mauricio Macri withdrew the appeal filed by its predecessor led by Kirchner of a federal court decision declaring the 2013 pact unconstitutional.

Rightist arrested at protest on behalf of Duma Jewish terror suspects-For second night in a row, activists try to block off entrance to Jerusalem; rioters puncture police cars’ tires-By Judah Ari Gross December 21, 2015, 10:40 pm-the times of israel

Police officers arrested a right-wing activist during an illegal demonstration at the entrance to Jerusalem on Monday night against the prolonged detention of Jewish Israelis suspected of carrying out a fatal firebombing in a Palestinian village in the West Bank.The July 31 attack killed three members of the Dawabsha family. Only one member of the family — four-year-old Ahmed — survived the attack, and remains hospitalized in Israel. The 18-month-old baby Ali was killed on the night of the attack, while parents Riham and Sa’ad succumbed to their injuries in the succeeding weeks.An unspecified number of Jewish suspects have been arrested in connection to the attack, as part of a Shin Bet investigation that is still largely under a strict gag order.On Monday, dozens of right-wing protesters attempted to block the highway leading into the capital, but were prevented from doing so by law enforcement officers, a police spokesperson said.“They tried to ruin the day-to-day lives of city residents, but a police unit operating on the scene prevented it, forcing the rioters onto the sidewalks and allowing the free movement of transportation,” the official said.Only one suspect has been arrested for disturbing the peace so far, the police said in a statement. Rioters also punctured the tires of two police cruisers, the police said.Violence broke out on Sunday night during a similar, but larger demonstration by right-wing activists in the same area, under Jerusalem’s Chords Bridge, to protest the ongoing incarceration of suspects in the case.Six police officers were wounded by the attacks directed at them by a small minority of the protesters, a police statement said. One officer got left with a broken hand.About 300 people in total took part in the Sunday demonstration, and police arrested six protesters for disturbing the peace.Earlier Sunday, the Shin Bet security service announced another “development” in the Duma case, which is nearing six months without resolution. However, the agency stressed that the gag order on details about the case is still in place.The arson has been ruled a terror attack by authorities, leading Israel’s security cabinet to vote to extend to Israeli civilians several counterterrorism measures used in the West Bank against Palestinian terror suspects, including “administrative detention” without trial.Under the rules of administrative detention, suspects believed to be directly involved in terror activity have the right to appeal their detention to the High Court of Justice, but do not receive a due-process trial in regular court.The alleged Jewish extremists were detained by the Shin Bet in late November on suspicion of carrying out the attack. On Wednesday, their attorneys, who were allowed to meet with all but one suspect only after two weeks of detention — and only after appeals to the High Court — alleged that the detainees were tortured during their interrogations.Some 500 right-wing activists also demonstrated on Saturday night in Jerusalem — outside the home of Shin Bet chief Yoram Cohen — against the detentions and alleged torture. The carried signs that read, “We demand justice” and “Enough persecution by the [state] prosecution.”In response to the accusations, officials with the Shin Bet said over the weekend that the agency’s actions were within the bounds of the legal mandate given to it by the cabinet.The conditions of the suspects’ detention, including the denial of legal counsel for more than two weeks, were brought before the High Court of Justice last week and were approved, they noted.“All the actions [of the Shin Bet] are carried out according to law and in keeping with judicial precedent,” the organization said in a statement, “and are subject to close oversight of higher authorities.”Adiv Sterman and Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Grandma arrested for flinging falafel at her husband-55-year-old from Safed kept in jail overnight after hurling snack during marital argument-By Lee Gancman December 21, 2015, 10:51 pm-the times of israel

A 55-year-old grandmother from the northern city of Safed was arrested during an incident of domestic violence that involved her throwing a falafel-filled pita at her husband.The unnamed woman told the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper Monday that a fight broke out between her and her husband last week after he returned home with the falafel dinner for two in hand.The woman said that “ranting and raving” by her husband led her to call the police, but that she was arrested when her husband told the officers that she had thrown the pita at him.After spending the night behind bars in Kiryat Shmona, the local magistrate’s court granted her conditional release. The woman was placed under a week-long restraining order that banned her from coming within 100 meters (109 yards) of her house and from contacting those involved in the incident. Israel Police spokesperson Luba Samri told The Times of Israel Monday that the investigation into the case was ongoing.The woman’s husband declined to comment on the incident.

Tax rates changes and TFSA limit reduction means reviewing your financial plan- [the canadian press.com]-December 20, 2015-yahoonews

OTTAWA - The tax rules are changing in 2016 and even if Canadians don't make enough to be hit by the new top federal income tax rate, their financial plans are going to need to be reviewed.The vast majority of Canadians will not be affected by the new tax bracket for income over $200,000 a year, but everyone will see their tax-free savings account contribution limit be reduced back to $5,500 for 2016.Combined with the new lower tax rate for income between $45,282 and $90,563, even those who aren't in the top one per cent of income-earners should take a look at their finances to ensure they're on track.Peter Bowen, vice- president of tax and retirement research and solutions at Fidelity Investments, says for many people this might be the most important tax planning season they've ever had."With the changes just implemented both to tax rates and TFSAs, everybody needs to take care to make sure their tax planning is right for their own situation," he said. "We always encourage people to get financial advice, but with these changes in place, it is more important than ever."What you need to do depends on your tax bracket — and with the wider range of brackets now, that means planning is more complex.For those in the bracket that is seeing the rate cut, Bowen says to be sure to claim the deduction against your 2015 income to maximize its value if you're planning on making an RRSP contribution. However, those who make more than $200,000 may want to delay claiming their RRSP contributions until 2016 due to the higher rate set to take affect.EY tax partner David Steinberg says those making more than $200,000 may also want to look to maximize their 2015 income by crystallizing any capital gains or taking any bonuses or deferred income that may be due before the new higher tax rate kicks in."I think you're going to see a lot of people managing taxable income," he said.Bowen also advises Canadians to carefully consider their future financial needs when weighing TFSA and RRSP contributions.How much will you be making throughout your career, what stage are you at in your career and where will you be in retirement? Those are all matters to ponder, he said."These are the questions that people need to be prepared to at least think about because then that decision of using an RRSP or using a TFSA becomes more important," Bowen said.The benefit of an RRSP is that you deduct contributions today and defer taxes until your retirement, when you will likely be earning less money and may be in a lower tax bracket.In contrast, TFSA contributions don't generate a tax deduction, but any investment income you earn with the money isn't taxed. So, if you think you're going to be in the same or higher tax bracket, putting money into a TFSA might make more sense.Bowen noted it isn't just high-income earners that will be hurt by the lower TFSA limits. Retirees looking to shelter a portion of their nest egg from tax will also be affected by the lower contribution limit even though they may fall into the low-income category."They don't have to be wealthy to benefit from TFSAs," he said.The tax changes and TFSA rollback were part of the Liberal campaign platform during the federal election.The cut to the second tax bracket will save Canadians making less than $200,000 up to $679 per person.In addition to the rate changes, the Liberals ended the controversial income-splitting scheme for families plan put in place by the Conservatives that will see taxes rise for families where one parent earns significantly more than the other.And more changes are expected.The Liberals have promised a child benefit program to replace the universal child care benefit starting in July 2016.The plan, promised during the election, will see more generous benefits for poor families and the amount reduced as family income rises, and will be entirely eliminated for high-income earners.

Greek parliament set to recognize Palestine-Vote on nonbinding resolution will be attended by Abbas, comes after Greece’s foreign affairs committee approved similar motion-By AFP December 20, 2015, 6:33 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The Greek parliament is set to recognize the state of Palestine in a parliamentary vote to be attended by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, a government source said Sunday.A ceremony will accompany the vote on the resolution Monday, as Greece joins dozens of other countries that accord recognition to Palestine, the source said.The resolution is nonbinding, and does not constitute a full government recognition of Palestine as a state. However, officials in Athens were playing up the move as if it were a full recognition.In Athens, Abbas will meet President Prokopis Pavlopoulos and Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. The latter visited Israel last month for a two-day trip and high-level meetings aimed at bolstering ties between Athens and Jerusalem.Last week, the Greek parliament’s foreign affairs committee unanimously approved a motion to recognize Palestine.Israel had no immediate comment on Greece’s planned recognition of Palestine.The European Parliament and parliaments from several EU member states have recognized a Palestinian state, as has the government of Sweden.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

IDF shells south Lebanon after rocket fire on Western Galilee-Israel says it holds Lebanese army responsible for any cross-border activity aimed at harming citizens of the Jewish state-By Adiv Sterman and Judah Ari Gross December 20, 2015, 7:33 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Israel Defense Forces artillery units shelled targets in south Lebanon Sunday, shortly after at least three rockets were fired from across the border into Israeli territory.“The Israel Defense Forces have responded with targeted artillery fire following the rockets that hit Israel earlier today from southern Lebanon,” a statement from the army said.“The IDF considers the Lebanese army as solely responsible for what is happening in the territory and will continue to act against any attempt to harm the sovereignty of the State of Israel and the security of its citizens,” the statement said.Earlier, Lebanese news website MTV reported heavy Israeli air activity over southern Lebanon, along with flares being fired at the al-Mansour area, close to the capital city of Beirut.The Israel Defense Forces did not confirm any air activity on its part.The rockets struck open areas near the northern city of Nahariya in the Western Galilee, only hours after an alleged IDF airstrike killed Samir Kuntar, the Hezbollah terrorist who spent decades in an Israeli jail for his role in the brutal 1979 murders of a Nahariya family.Air-raid sirens warning of incoming projectiles sounded in towns and cities throughout the Western Galilee ahead of the rockets’ fall. Local residents later reported hearing several explosions.There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the rocket strikes.Security forces searched the area adjacent to Nahariya and along the border with Lebanon for the rocket landing sites. The IDF launched an investigation into the incident, in order to determine who had fired the rockets. Lebanon’s Naharnet news site reported that two rockets were fired at Israel from the al-Hinniyeh area, near the city of Tyre, and two more were fired from Tal al-Maaliyeh. Some reports by Lebanese media suggested that a fourth rocket may have landed in the sea.A Lebanese source told AFP that the rockets were Katyushas.Northern Israel had been bracing for a possible Hezbollah response since the killing of Kuntar, 54, overnight Saturday.Arab media reported that several Israeli Air Force missiles struck the Damascus suburb of Jaramana, killing Kuntar and eight other operatives.Hezbollah on Sunday morning said that Kuntar was killed in an Israeli airstrike, and alleged that Israel may have coordinated the hit with Syrian rebel “terrorists” operating in the area. The Assad regime also blamed “terrorist groups” for the strike. Reports said that Kuntar was assassinated not as revenge for his past actions, but rather because he was planning fresh attacks against Israel.There was no official Israeli confirmation of the attack, although officials expressed satisfaction over his death. Kuntar was with a group of commanders from various terrorist groups that were planning attacks on Israel, reports said.A Lebanese Druze, Kuntar became infamous for a brutal 1979 raid from Lebanon in which he helped kidnap an Israeli family from Nahariya, then smashed the head of a four-year-old Israeli girl, Einat Haran, with his rifle butt, killing her. Three other Israelis, including her father, Danny Haran, were killed in the attack.Kuntar was 16 at the time, a member of the Palestine Liberation Front.He spent 29 years in an Israeli prison before being traded to Hezbollah in 2008 in exchange for the bodies of IDF soldiers Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser. After that, he took on a senior role in the group, was honored by then-Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and by Syrian President Bashar Assad, and helped to organize Syrian Druze on the Golan Heights and elsewhere into terror cells charged with carrying out attacks against Israel.AFP and Times of Israel Staff contributed to this report.

Rockets hit northern Israel, hours after Hezbollah terrorist killed-No injuries or damage reported as at least 3 projectiles land in open areas near Nahariya-By Adiv Sterman, Judah Ari Gross and Times of Israel staff December 20, 2015, 6:16 pm Updated: December 20, 2015, 6:20 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

At least three rockets landed early Sunday evening in open areas near the northern city of Nahariya in the Western Galilee, only hours after an alleged IDF airstrike killed Lebanese terrorist Samir Kuntar, who had been previously jailed in Israel for his part in the 1979 murders of a family.There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.Air raid sirens warning of incoming projectiles sounded in towns and cities throughout the Western Galilee ahead of the rockets’ fall. Local residents later reported hearing several explosions. Security forces were searching the area adjacent to Nahariya and along the border with Lebanon for other rockets that may have landed within Israeli territory. The IDF launched an investigation into the incident, and was attempting to determine who fired the rockets.Lebanon’s Naharnet news site reported that two rockets were fired at Israel from the al-Hinniyeh area, and two more were fired from Tal al-Maaliyeh. Some reports by Lebanese media suggested that a fourth rocket may have landed in the sea.Jacky Sabag, the mayor of Nahariya, and Shlomi Regional Council head Gabi Naaman ordered the opening of bomb shelters in their respective jurisdiction areas following the rocket landings.Northern Israel has been bracing for a possible Hezbollah response since the killing of Kuntar overnight Saturday.“We were expecting this after the assassination of Samir Kuntar,” said Rotem Azati, a resident of Nahariya. “But even so we were surprised,” she added.Arab media reported that several Israeli Air Force missiles struck the Damascus suburb of Jaramana overnight, killing Kuntar and eight other operatives.Hezbollah on Sunday morning said that Kuntar was killed in an Israeli airstrike, and alleged that Israel may have coordinated the hit with Syrian rebel “terrorists” operating in the area.

Samir Kuntar died as Iran’s mercenary, not Hezbollah’s-In recent years, the notorious killer was allied with Tehran against Israel; still, the Lebanese militia will retaliate — the only question is when-By Avi Issacharoff December 20, 2015, 3:00 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

As has been the case following previous alleged Israeli airstrikes, Hezbollah and its chief Hassan Nasrallah are now faced with a thorny dilemma: to retaliate or not to retaliate, or perhaps more accurately, how to retaliate, since the response is sure to come.The assassination of Samir Kuntar, who became a member of Hezbollah after his release from Israeli prison in 2008, is another in a series of blows to the Shiite Lebanese militia, on both an operational and a symbolic level.On the operational level, the assassination is further evidence — after the assassination of Jihad Mughniyeh in January and the killing of Hassan al-Laqis in December 2013 — of the ease with which intelligence services can infiltrate the organization.Symbolically, the raid was a blow to the terror organization’s morale, as it underlines its weakness and compromises its image amid its ongoing involvement in the war in Syria.Kuntar, who was Druze, is credited with having salvaged Hezbollah’s terror network on the Syrian Golan Heights, and at one time was working separately for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.He was a marked man from the moment he was released from Israeli prison in 2008, and during the past seven years, was continually preoccupied with planning attacks against the Jewish state.In recent months, Kuntar was working under the guidance of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, and had slightly distanced himself from Hezbollah. In this sense, one could say that Kuntar died as a mercenary for Iran rather than a model Hezbollah fighter. Farhan al-Shaalan, a second commander listed among the dead in the strike, was also enlisted by the Iranians rather than Hezbollah.Still, because Kuntar was significant to Hezbollah, which had won his release from prison, a retaliation against Israel for the strike is likely to come. He’s identified with the Shiite group despite being Druze, and had been spotted at various events organized by Hezbollah.In January, after the assassination of Mughniyeh, considered the foremost symbol of the organization, Hezbollah was satisfied with a retaliation that included a volley of rockets toward an IDF convoy that killed Staff Sgt. Dor Chaim Nini and the company commander, Maj. Yohai Kalangel. The strike included some seven rockets and could have ended with far more tragic results. In the end, Hezbollah, like Israel, stopped at that point and did not allow a wider security escalation.While it can be assumed that Hezbollah will attempt to retaliate now as well, in light of its situation on the Syrian front — where one-third of its fighters have been killed or injured — it is not expected to seek a broader escalation. The Times of Israel reported last week that between 1,300 and 1,500 of its fighters have been killed in combat in Syria, and some 5,000 injured.In the past few months, Hezbollah has launched a massive draft of youths 17 and older to make up for its losses. However, the recruits are not at the same level as the trained and sophisticated fighters that filled its ranks just a few years ago. The thousands of young recruits still require months of training, and Hezbollah is thus unlikely for now to seek out war with Israel.Hezbollah has also found itself in a complex political position in Lebanon with its attempts to push a Maronite Christian presidential candidate. Thus far these attempts have failed, and the political paralysis in Lebanon surrounding the president is ongoing.Meanwhile, Israel has been careful not to claim the strike, although Hezbollah has already directly accused the IDF of responsibility.If Israel operated in the Damascus suburbs, at risk of Iranian or Hezbollah retaliation, then one may venture a guess that the operation was designed to thwart an imminent attack by Kuntar.As Israeli officials used to say with regard to Palestinian terrorists targeted in order to prevent impending attacks, Kuntar was a “ticking bomb.”

Hezbollah MP: Vengeance for Kuntar is matter of time-Shiite terror group joins Iran, Syria in condemning alleged Israeli attack that killed notorious terrorist; his brother vows to keep trying to eliminate Israel-By Times of Israel staff December 20, 2015, 6:03 pm

Hezbollah is planning a response to the assassination late Saturday night of Lebanese terrorist Samir Kuntar in a suburb of Damascus, a Lebanese MP from the terror group’s faction told local media Sunday. The strike, which is attributed to Israel, also killed eight associates of Kuntar.“Hezbollah will in no way let the death of the martyr Kuntar pass without a price,” said Ali Amar, according to Israel’s Channel 10 television. “The subject of retaliation is in the hands of the relevant commanders, and will determine the way, place and time that we will punish the killers — the Israeli enemy.”Syrian Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi also condemned the reported Israeli airstrike that killed Kuntar, calling it “a cowardly act of terror,” according to Syrian state-run SANA news agency.SANA also quoted a statement from the Syrian parliament condemning the “terrorist crime,” and said that Syria is fighting “takfiri [apostate] Zionist terrorism, led by several countries [and] topped by the Israeli occupation entity.”The statement also accused other regional nations, including Sunni Arab states, of acting as accomplices to the strike in the Damascus suburb of Jaramana.Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaber Ansari strongly condemned the assassination, calling it a “crime” and asking the world “to condemn such terrorist and aggressive acts” by Israel, The semi-official Iranian Fars news agency reported.Kuntar’s brother, Bassem, told AFP that he was more than ever committed to wiping Israel off the map. “The resistance will end only when the Zionist entity disappears,” he vowed.The Palestinian group terror Hamas also issued a condemnation of the attack, calling it a “heinous crime.”There was no Israeli confirmation that it had carried out the attack, although officials expressed satisfaction over Kuntar’s death.A Lebanese Druze, Kuntar became infamous for a brutal 1979 raid from Lebanon in which he helped kidnap an Israeli family from Nahariya, then smashed the head of a four-year-old Israeli girl, Einat Haran, with his rifle butt, killing her. Three other Israelis, including her father, Danny Haran, were also murdered in the attack. Kuntar was 16 at the time, and a member of the Palestine Liberation Front.Kuntar spent 29 years in an Israeli prison before being traded to Hezbollah in 2008 in exchange for the bodies of IDF soldiers Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser. After that, he took on a senior role in the group, was honored by then-Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and by Syrian President Bashar Assad, and helped to organize Syrian Druze on the Golan Heights and elsewhere into terror cells charged with carrying out attacks against Israel.Smadar Haran, the widow and bereaved mother of the Israeli victims whom Kuntar brutally killed in 1979, hailed the alleged Israeli assassination of the Hezbollah operative as “historic justice” and the “closing of a circle.” She said Kuntar’s death was not a matter of “revenge,” and highlighted that Kuntar had continued to orchestrate attacks on Israel.Nina Keren, mother of Danny Haran, told Channel 10, “There is no place here for consolation, since because of [Kuntar] I will have no grandchildren.”Reports said that Kuntar was assassinated not as revenge for his past actions, but rather because he was planning fresh attacks against Israel.Joshua Davidovich and agencies contributed to this report.

Israel: Iran has withdrawn most of its Revolutionary Guards from Syria-Dozens of Iranian fighters said killed; Hezbollah, which has lost up to 1,500 men, reportedly fears anti-Assad rebels could now prevail-By Avi Issacharoff December 18, 2015, 6:52 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Iran has withdrawn most of the Revolutionary Guards fighters it deployed to Syria three months ago, Israeli security officials told The Times of Israel. The decision to withdraw the forces was likely made due to the rising number of casualties among Iranian soldiers fighting in Syria and the subsequent growing public outcry back home.The officials confirmed the withdrawal to The Times of Israel days after a report in Bloomberg quoted American sources saying such a withdrawal was in its early stages, and after Iran issued a denial. The Israeli sources stressed, however, that most of the troops have actually now been withdrawn.Iran sent some 2,000 Revolutionary Guards fighters to Syria in September. There are just 700-800 remaining, the Israeli sources said.The pullout has sparked concern for Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shi’ite terror group that is also fighting alongside ally Bashar Assad, the embattled Syrian president.The high number of Revolutionary Guards casualties in Syria came as a shock to Iranian commanders, notably including IRGC Al-Quds Force leader Qassem Soleimani, who has been closely following developments in the war-torn country.While Israel does not know the precise number of Iranian fatalities, the figure is thought to have reached several dozen since September, with hundreds more wounded.The Iranian press now publishes obituaries of IRGC fighters killed in Syria on an almost daily basis. Earlier this month, senior IRGC officer Abdul Rashid Rashwand and 14 other fighters of lower rank were buried in a single day.Rashwand was the fifth senior IRGC officer to be killed in Syria since September, but not the last. This week also saw the death of General Hossein Faradi, a Revolutionary Guards officer who had previously commanded Afghan forces in Syria.The reports of fatalities are creating widespread dismay in Iranian public opinion, and especially among the families of the dead and wounded. There is anguished debate over how necessary it is for Iran to deploy its fighters to Syria. This at a time when the country is preparing for parliamentary (Majlis) elections. It is also holding elections for the council to select the Islamic Republic’s next supreme leader.Many of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s allies apparently have a good chance of being elected to the council, but the military intervention in Syria and the ensuing casualties may harm their prospects, analysts say.Iranian forces have over the last few weeks focused their activities in the north-western area of Syria, trying to repel the advance of the “Fateh Army” — a conglomeration of several opposition groups. The Iranians are coordinating their activities there closely with what is left of Assad’s Syrian army as well as with fighters from Hezbollah.The extraction of Iranian troops from Syria is a source of discomfort and genuine concern for Hezbollah. The Shi’ite terror group’s men are worried about their prospects as the war in Syria continues, since the support they are receiving from Russian warplanes has so far failed to effect a significant change in the country’s years-long civil war. Hezbollah has seen between 1,300 and 1,500 of its fighters killed, and 5,000 injured, in battles in the Syrian civil war — which means it has lost as much as a third of its fighting force, according to Israeli estimates cited by The Times of Israel earlier this week.

Iran said exporting uranium stockpile to Russia in coming days-Rouhani says Tehran will meet all obligations needed to lift sanctions in next two weeks-By Times of Israel staff and AP December 19, 2015, 1:11 pm

Iran is preparing to export the majority of its stockpile of enriched uranium to Russia in the coming days as part of its efforts to meet the terms of the July 14 agreement with world powers, Reuters reported Saturday, citing the head of the Islamic republic’s Atomic Energy Organization.“In the next few days around nine tonnes of Iran’s enriched uranium will be exported to Russia,” Ali Akbar Salehi said, according to Reuters. The deal involving the United States, Iran and five other world powers would curb Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for an end to strict sanctions on Tehran, giving it access to billions in frozen assets and oil revenue. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Wednesday that the country would carry out its remaining obligations in the next two weeks to pave the way for the lifting of sanctions in January. He said Iran would now dismantle some nuclear centrifuges and ship out a major portion of its stockpile of enriched uranium. Stephen Mull, the US State Department’s lead coordinator for implementation of the deal, said Wednesday that Iran has begun dismantling its uranium enrichment system by removing thousands of centrifuges and transferring them into a storage facility that will be monitored by international nuclear inspectors.“It has already removed more than 5,000 of its machines and is likely to move quickly to remove the rest in the coming days,” Mull said.He said Iran is reducing its stockpile of various forms of enriched uranium to no more than 300 kilograms of material enriched up to 3.67 percent.“It will accomplish this primarily by shipping a significant amount of such material outside Iran, while also diluting the remaining excess to the level of natural uranium or below,” Mull said. “Commercial contracts are in place for Iran to ship its enriched uranium stockpiles to Russia. We expect that this material — approximately 25,000 pounds of material enriched up to 20 percent low-enriched uranium — could leave Iran in the coming weeks.”

Iran: We will continue developing missiles-Regime defiant following UN report that October test violated Security Council resolution-By Times of Israel staff December 17, 2015, 4:37 pm

Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan said Wednesday that Iran would continue its research, development and production of missiles and other military equipment, irrespective of UN resolutions.“Since day one of the endorsement of the JCPOA (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed between Iran and five world powers), our different tests have not [been] postponed even for a single day, hour or moment; rather we have not even felt any doubt about declaring them,” Dehghan told the Fars News Agency. Dehghan’s statement came a day after UN sanctions monitors said that Iran had violated a Security Council resolution in its October test of a nuclear-capable ballistic missile.The Security Council’s Panel of Experts on Iran said that the launch of the Emad long-range missile was in violation of Security Council resolution 1929, which prohibits the Islamic Republic from carrying out any military activity related to the use of ballistic missiles. The Iran nuclear deal, signed in July, also bars the country from developing missiles “designed to carry nuclear warheads.”The missile test, carried out on October 11, was hailed by Iran as a great advance in the country’s growing arsenal.“This is Iran’s first long-range missile that can be guided and controlled until hitting the target,” Dehghan was quoted as saying at the time.Dehghan said mass production of missiles would be followed by supplies of the weapon to the Iranian military, the semi-official Press TV reported.Iran has said its missiles would never carry a nuclear warhead as it has no plans to develop atomic weapons, but military officials have insisted on expanding the country’s missile program.The deal reached with Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States aims to limit Iran’s nuclear program in return for lifting international sanctions.Since 1992, Iran has emphasized a self-sufficient and indigenous military production industry, producing missiles, tanks and light submarines. The government frequently announces military advances which cannot independently verified.Also Tuesday, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN nuclear watchdog, at a meeting at its headquarters in Vienna, closed its investigation into whether Iran sought to acquire nuclear weapons. Israel bitterly criticized the move.Agencies contributed to this report.

UN watchdog closes probe into Iran nukes, drawing Israeli ire-After report finds Tehran stopped most work by 2003, IAEA paves way for implementation of nuclear deal in early 2016; Jerusalem accuses body of acting out of political motivations-By AFP and Times of Israel staff December 15, 2015, 6:39 pm

VIENNA, Austria — The UN atomic watchdog’s board Tuesday closed a long-running probe into Iran’s past efforts to develop nuclear weapons, removing an important obstacle to implementing July’s landmark deal with big powers, diplomats said.A resolution approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s 35-nation board of governors said the investigation was “implemented in accordance with the agreed schedule” and that this “closes the board’s consideration of the matter.”Iran had warned that unless this happened, it would not implement key parts of July’s accord with six major powers to scale down its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Tuesday welcomed the decision by the UN atomic watchdog’s board to end a long-running probe into Tehran’s past efforts to develop nuclear weapons.“This resolution goes far beyond closing the issue of so-called PMD (possible military dimensions) and cancels the 12 previous resolutions of the Council of Governors of the IAEA which seriously restricted our country’s nuclear program,” Iranian media quoted Zarif as saying.But Israeli Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz criticized the decision to close the investigation, saying it was politically motivated.“The IAEA decision does not correspond to the report by IAEA chief Yukiya Amano, who said Tehran continued partial development of a bomb until 2009. It seems, therefore, that the decision made today was political and not practical, and for this reason it sends a wrong message to the Iranians, that the international community is willing to look the other way,” he said, according to the Ynet news website.The IAEA keeps close tabs on Iran’s nuclear program, and its inspections role is set to grow under July’s hard-fought deal, which defused a standoff dating back to 2002.But the Vienna-based watchdog has also long sought to clear up allegations that until 2003, and possibly since, Iran also secretly sought to develop an actual nuclear weapon.After stalling for many years, Iran agreed in July to cooperate with the IAEA to address the claims, which it has always rejected, allowing inspectors to visit sites and providing additional information.As a result the IAEA on December 2 released a “final assessment” — even though it did not receive all the information it sought — concluding that some of the allegations were indeed accurate.It said Iran conducted “a range of activities relevant to the development” of a nuclear bomb before the end of 2003 in a “coordinated effort,” and that some activities continued until 2009.It stressed though that these “did not advance beyond feasibility and scientific studies” and that there was no evidence that Iran diverted nuclear material such as uranium or plutonium to these efforts.However, a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem earlier this month said that the International Atomic Energy Agency’s report “exposed the techniques of deception and obfuscation that Iran employed regarding its nuclear program.”The most blatant example of Iranian mendacity is “its conduct around the Parchin facility, where the Iranians tried to cover up evidence of their illegal activity,” the statement said.“Israel expects the international community to continue its investigation through the IAEA on these issues and to use all means at its disposal to ensure that Iran cannot secretly build a nuclear weapon,” the statement added. “Without completing this investigation, the world will not know how far Iran went in its secret program, and what its current status is.”-Continued scrutiny-But despite the findings, the six major powers — the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, who co-authored the IAEA resolution — have decided to move on.Despite Iran’s “long history of concealment, denial and deception,” the July deal is “forward-looking,” the US ambassador to the IAEA, Henry Ensher, said Tuesday.The powers stress that Iran will remain under close IAEA scrutiny to ensure that it does not contravene the July deal or again secretly engage in more research on getting the bomb.Nor is Iran completely out of the woods with the IAEA, with the agency’s “broader conclusion” that all Iran’s activities are exclusively peaceful still to come.This could take several more years, and Tuesday’s resolution stated that the board will “remain seized” on the matter for another 10 years, or until the “broader conclusion,” whichever is sooner.-Implementation Day-The IAEA will also have to confirm that Iran has enacted all its commitments under the July deal on a day to be dubbed “Implementation Day,” which is expected to happen in early 2016.Under the deal Iran has pledged to slash the number of centrifuges — which “enrich” uranium for peaceful uses but also for a bomb — from around 19,000 to 6,104, of which 5,060 will still enrich.Iran also has to change the design of a new nuclear reactor being built at Arak so that it produces substantially less plutonium, the alternative to uranium in a nuclear weapon.By “Implementation Day” the Arak reactor core has to have been made inoperable by filling the openings with concrete.Plus, Iran must reduce its stock of low-enriched uranium from several tonnes to just 300 kilos. Iran is expected to ship this material to Russia.The last IAEA update on November 18 said that Iran had removed some 4,500 centrifuges. However, there was no progress at Arak or on the uranium stock.
