Most Israeli Jews say Jerusalem is a city divided-mar 6,16-the times of israel
The IDI Peace Index also asked respondents whether they agree with the statement that Jerusalem is a divided city.According to an abstract from the IDI, “A clear majority of Jewish Israelis (61%) thinks Jerusalem is divided into a western and eastern city.”In comparison, when the IDI first asked that question in 1999, 49% of respondents said the city was not divided, as opposed to 44% who said it was.The rate of Israelis who see the city as divided is much higher among left-wing Israelis: 88.5% and 85% among voters of the Zionist Union and Meretz, respectively.“Likud voters were split on the question (49% for each view),” the abstract says. “Some 47% of Arab Israelis think it is divided.”
French envoy to visit region to lay groundwork for peace confab-Despite Israeli opposition to conference, special envoy for peace initiative reportedly planning to hold talks in Ramallah and Tel Aviv-By Dov Lieber March 6, 2016, 12:41 pm-the times of israel
France’s special envoy for its peace initiative to renew Israeli-Palestinian peace talks will meet this week with officials in Ramallah and Tel Aviv, the Palestinian envoy to France said Saturday.Ambassador Salman al-Harfi confirmed to the Palestinian Ma’an news outlet that Pierre Vimont will meet with Israeli and Palestinian officials to discuss preparations for an international peace summit to renew stalled peace talks.The summit is scheduled to take place in June or July, despite Israeli complaints that peace negotiations should take the form of direct talks.Before visiting the region, Vimont will attend the The 5th Extraordinary Islamic Summit on Palestine and Al-Quds (Jerusalem), which begins in the Indonesian capital Jakarta on Sunday.The summit, entitled “Uniting for a Just and Lasting Solution,” will also be attended by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.During his trip, the special envoy will also meet with Arab and international officials to discuss the framework for a meeting that will take place next April to set the agenda for the conference.The April meeting is for an international support group composed of world powers US, Russia, China, France and the UK, as well the “Arab quartet,” Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Jordan and Egypt. Additionally, Brazil, Japan, Germany, South Africa and India will also attend the support meeting. Neither Israeli or Palestinian officials will attend the meeting in April.Harfi stressed that Israel had not yet confirmed its official stance on the conference, but that high international support will see the initiative move forward regardless of Jerusalem’s position, according to Ma’an.The Prime Minister’s Office did not respond to a request for a comment.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had earlier dismissed France’s proposal. He said an ultimatum issued by Paris that it would recognize a Palestinian state if talks fail was “mystifying” and counterproductive, arguing that it gave Palestinians no incentive to compromise.Jerusalem has also maintained that direct talks are needed to reach an agreement.In January, then French foreign minister Laurent Fabius announced plans by Paris for an international conference to “bring about the two-state solution” to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Hamas rejected the French proposal last Wednesday.“The initiative is a bid to stop the ongoing Jerusalem Intifada and cancel the Palestinian rights in Jerusalem and the right of return,” said a statement from the lslamist group, which rules the Gaza Strip.Hamas’s statement followed remarks by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas last Tuesday, who voiced hope that the French initiative could lead to a solution reminiscent of the breakthrough talks on Iran’s nuclear deal.
Netanyahu rebuffs claims of rift with US ahead of Biden visit-Prime minister hails upcoming visit by vice president, says those who predicted collapse of ties with Washington were wrong-By AFP and Times of Israel staff March 6, 2016, 2:28 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke Sunday of “strong” ties with the United States ahead of a visit by Vice President Joe Biden, despite deep disagreement over the nuclear accord with Iran.“This visit expresses the strong relations between Israel and our ally the US,” Netanyahu said at the start of a cabinet meeting.“There are those who have predicted the collapse of these relations. It is not so. The relationship is strong in all areas, including in the face of the challenges that we are standing together against in our region.”Biden is set to arrive on Tuesday for talks with Netanyahu as well as Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.Israel and the United States have been seeking to move past deep disagreement over the Iran nuclear accord signed in July, which Netanyahu strongly opposed, and work out a new 10-year defense aid package.The current deal grants Israel some $3.1 billion annually, in addition to spending on other projects such as missile defense.At the cabinet meeting, Netanyahu also hailed Jerusalem’s expanding diplomatic relations with other countries, particularly as a leader in development and industry, welcoming Romanian President Klaus Iohannis to the country.Israel, Netanyahu said, is not only an “asset today in the fight against radical Islam,” but also “captures opportunities for the future, especially in technology.”Biden’s visit comes amid a five-month wave of violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories that has killed 29 Israelis and 181 Palestinians. Most of the Palestinians who died in the violence were killed while carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, according to Israeli authorities; others were shot dead by Israeli forces during clashes or demonstrations.The White House said on Friday that Biden would not be pursuing any major new peace initiatives during his visit.US President Barack Obama has acknowledged that there will be no comprehensive agreement between Israelis and Palestinians before he leaves office in January 2017.His administration’s harsh criticism of Israeli settlement building in the West Bank has added to tensions between the two longstanding allies.Biden is also expected to discuss the fight against the Islamic State group with Netanyahu.
Report: Russia freezes delivery of S-300 missile defense to Iran-Kuwaiti paper cites unnamed source as saying Israel provided proof that Iran was giving advanced weapons to Hezbollah-By Dov Lieber and Times of Israel staff March 6, 2016, 5:05 pm
Russian President Vladmir Putin reportedly froze the transfer of the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system to Iran after receiving evidence from Israel that Tehran had transferred advanced weapons to Hezbollah.The Kuwaiti newspaper al-Jarida published the unconfirmed report on Saturday, citing an unnamed source allegedly “familiar” with Putin.The source said that Putin scuppered the delivery after Israel showed that Iran had repeatedly attempted to transfer the SA-22 Greyhound short-range air defense system to the Lebanese-based terrorist group.The report also said that Russian pilots claimed to have detected the presence of advance anti-aircraft systems in Hezbollah-controlled territory straddling the Syria-Lebanon border.Israel, according to the report, has turned a blind eye to the Iranian-backed group’s possession of the Soviet-made SA-5 Gammon surface-to-air missile system, known also as the S-200.Russia and Iran signed a contract for the delivery of five S-300 batteries in 2007. But in autumn 2010, Russia’s then-president Dmitry Medvedev banned the supply of the systems to Tehran amid escalating global sanctions against Iran’s nuclear program. The contract, worth more than $800 million, was annulled and the advance payment returned to the Iranians.Iran filed a $4 billion lawsuit in the Court of Arbitration in Geneva over breach of the contract. According to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, Moscow persuaded Tehran to withdraw the lawsuit after “long and tough negotiations.”In April 2015, shortly after the announcement of the Lausanne outline for the nuclear deal between world powers and Iran, Putin lifted the ban on S-300 deliveries to Tehran, over American and Israeli objections.In August, Iran and Russia announced that the system would be delivered by the end of the year, with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov saying at the time that “just technical details” remained to be agreed upon.Iranian media has repeatedly reported on the ostensibly imminent arrival of the batteries.

Palestinian media watchdog gets kicked off YouTube-Israeli group PMW protests termination that came after it uploaded PA television program urging ‘war’ to ‘destroy the Zionist’s soul’-By Times of Israel staff March 6, 2016, 6:35 pm
An Israeli media watchdog that reports on Palestinian incitement has seen its YouTube channel terminated for allegedly violating the video-sharing site’s “terms of service.”The account contained “nearly all” of the group’s published videos, Palestinian Media Watch said in a statement Sunday.“It is outrageous that YouTube closed PMW’s account, which is a blow to the war on terror,” the group added. “This is particularly dangerous now while Israel is fighting a war against Palestinian terror. PMW documentation on PMW’s YouTube account shows the PA and Fatah leaders’ support and promotion of the terror.”It is not immediately clear what led to the termination. PMW faces opposition online among pro-Palestinian activists who accuse it of being a pro-Israel advocacy group. YouTube’s terms of service include a prohibition on hate speech.The termination followed PMW’s Thursday publication of its latest video gleaned from Palestinian media, which shows a young girl on an official Palestinian Authority television program called “Children’s Talk” reciting a poem calling for “war that will smash the oppressor and destroy the Zionist’s soul.”“PMW’s exposure of Palestinian incitement and hate speech is recognized and used by parliaments and governments around the world,” the group said.“On Friday, a 25-minute debate took place in Swedish Parliament in which the PA’s support for the current terror was discussed, and the proof was based entirely on PMW documentation – most of which is no longer accessible on PMW’s YouTube account.”The group, based in Jerusalem, urged YouTube, which is owned by tech giant Google, to “immediately reinstate” its account.

Under Egypt’s nose, Hamas boosts cooperation with IS in Sinai-The Gaza terror group’s armed wing is digging tunnels in broad daylight to smuggle in Islamic State jihadists for medical care-By Avi Issacharoff March 6, 2016, 8:36 am-the times of israel
The Egyptian soldiers stationed on the border of the Gaza Strip have encountered this sight more than once in the past few weeks: Hamas-owned bulldozers and tractors appear and begin excavations on the border with the Sinai Peninsula.Despite promises to Cairo that Hamas is not engaged in the smuggling trade with the Islamic State’s Sinai affiliate, the bulldozers are digging tunnels in broad daylight, to the astonishment of the Egyptians, to boost the smuggling from and to Sinai that has recently been compromised.These bulldozers approach the border, and then abruptly disappear underground, according to sources in the Gaza Strip. Several seconds later, they exit the tunnels, loaded with dirt, and unload it not far from the excavation site.Even if Cairo gave the workers the benefit of the doubt and thought they could be working without the knowledge of Hamas, the sight of them taking “coffee breaks” at Hamas security positions, right in front of the Egyptian soldiers’ eyes, dispels any notion that the Strip’s rulers aren’t behind what’s going on.All this is taking place, despite the repeated denials by Hamas officials in the past few months that they are cooperating with or have secret ties with the Islamic State in Sinai.Time and again, they have claimed that their organization upholds the Egyptian national interest and is not enabling smuggling from Sinai to Gaza and back via the tunnel network.Yet the heavy digging shows the cooperation between the Gaza terror group and the IS Sinai group is seemingly only getting stronger. Hamas continues to dig tunnels into Sinai, using its heavy machinery. At the same time, the Sinai branch of the Islamic State and Hamas are trying to build a permanent and organized channel to evacuate wounded IS fighters into Gaza. This is on top of sending Gazan fighters to Sinai, as was recently reported by The Times of Israel.Sources in the Gaza Strip said that last week, one of the Islamic State’s primary smugglers in Sinai, Ibrahim Abu al-Kariya, a Bedouin resident of Sinai, visited the Strip. His goal was to meet with senior officials in Hamas’s armed wing to facilitate the evacuations of the wounded, through the tunnels, in a more orderly fashion.The IS fighters do not have access to medical care in the peninsula, since the Egyptian government and security forces control the hospitals, hence their need for hospitalization in Gaza.Hamas’s military wing, under the leadership of Muhammed Deif and Yahya Sinwar, accompany the IS arrivals from the moment they enter the Strip, hospitalize them under assumed identities, and take care of their every need. Moreover, al-Kariya coordinates the transfer of fighters – most of whom identify with Salafists, but at least some of whom were Hamas fighters until recently.In the past month, two former Hamas members went from the Strip to Sinai: Mohammed Sami and Mahmoud Zinet. The two are allegedly aligned with the Salafists, such that Hamas can renounce them if need be. Yet they went to Sinai with their former commanders’ knowledge.Al-Kariya is responsible for smuggling weapons into the Gaza Strip, and in exchange, he receives money, weapons manufactured in Gaza, and the military know-how of those former Hamas fighters who went to fight in Sinai. Hamas is fully aware of this phenomenon, according to the sources in Gaza, and they view the cooperation with the jihadists as critical to their interests.This is in stark contrast to the view of the political wing, which opposes it and demanded that the this collaboration be ended.Even as Hamas is upping excavation efforts, the scope of smuggling operations has dropped, thanks to Egyptian efforts to stymie the transfer of goods and people between the Strip and Sinai.But every so often, Hamas manages to operate a tunnel or several, primarily in the area south of the Rafah crossing, closer to the triangular border with Israel.
Police, protesters scuffle in Jerusalem after Arab woman arrested-Protest of Muslim women at Damascus Gate turns violent; no injuries reported-By Judah Ari Gross March 6, 2016, 2:36 pm-the times of israel
An Arab woman was arrested outside of Jerusalem’s Old City on Sunday, sparking low-level clashes between bystanders and police.There were no reports of injuries in the incident at the heavily guarded Damascus Gate.Police said there was “procession of Muslim women” protesting at the site when cops approached a woman to arrest her.A police spokesperson said the suspect then entered a store to avoid arrest, as a crowd at the site began throwing rocks at the policemen. Police originally said the woman had thrown stones, and later maintained they were investigating whether that was the case.Police subsequently dispersed the crowd.The woman who was arrested was a member of the all-female Murabitat group, known for opposing Jewish presence on the Temple Mount, by shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great”) at visitors, and sometimes resorting to physical assaults. The Prime Minister’s Office describes the group as a “salaried group of activists aimed at initiating provocations on the Temple Mount.”The Damascus Gate area, the main entrance to the Muslim Quarter of the Old City in Jerusalem, has been the site of dozens of Palestinian attacks on Jews in recent months.Police have stepped up security there, including searching those coming in and out of the gate — the main entrance into the Muslim Quarter of the Old City.Last month, policewoman Hadar Cohen, 19, was killed and a colleague was seriously injured after three Palestinians shot and stabbed them in the same area.Twenty-nine Israelis and three foreign nationals have been killed in a wave of Palestinian terrorism and violence since October. Over 170 Palestinians have also been killed — some two-thirds of them while attacking Israelis, and the rest during clashes with troops — according to the Israeli army.Lee Gancman contributed to this report.
Justice minister cleared over meeting with family of Duma suspect-Ethics Committee rejects complaint against Ayelet Shaked for her encounter with mother of Jewish minor suspected of terrorism-By Tamar Pileggi March 6, 2016, 6:16 pm-the times of israel
The Knesset Ethics Committee on Sunday dismissed a complaint against Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked for meeting with family members of a suspected Jewish terrorist charged with a deadly arson attack on a Palestinian home in the West Bank last year.A spokesperson from Shaked’s office confirmed to The Times of Israel that the meeting with the underage suspect’s family — raised in a complaint by opposition Meretz MK Tamar Zandberg — was not considered a breach of ethics.New York-based Jewish newspaper The Forward reported in late December that Shaked met the week before with the mother of the American-Israeli minor suspected of acting as an accomplice in the July 2015 terror attack that killed three members of the Dawabsha family.The Forward said the meeting took place after the suspect, whose name is barred from publication in Israel due to his age, complained that he had been tortured by the Shin Bet security service during his interrogation.The suspect’s lawyer, Adi Kedar from the Honenu organization, which mainly handles cases of Israelis accused of extremist crimes, was also present at the meeting, the report said.The decision comes weeks after the Ethics Committee suspended three Arab MKs for meeting with the families of Palestinian terrorists on February 2.In recent weeks, 21-year-old Amiram Ben-Uliel, the main suspect in the Duma case, also alleged the Shin Bet used torture and abuse to extract a confession out of him.Ben-Uliel and the unnamed minor were indicted in early January in the firebomb attack. The attack caused the immediate death of toddler Ali and the deaths in the following weeks of parents Riham and Saad. Five-year-old Ahmed Dawabsha, Ali’s brother, remains hospitalized in Israel with severe burns, and faces a long rehabilitation.Ben-Uliel was indicted for murder; the minor, who is not alleged to have directly participated in the fire-bombing, was charged as an accomplice.The indictments marked a key breakthrough in the case, which shocked Israelis and led to unprecedented measures against Jewish terror suspects, including a cabinet vote to extend to Israeli citizens counterterrorism practices such as detention without trial.Politicians across almost the entire political spectrum, including Shaked, backed the Shin Bet, which they said acted in accordance with Israeli law.“The Shin Bet has acted within the framework of the law, accompanied by court orders,” Shaked said in December. “Some of the stories [of unnecessary force] spread in recent days have no connection to reality.Ben-Uliel’s testimony, along with the allegations of abuse, marks the likely central argument of the defense in his trial, namely, that his confession was inadmissible as it was obtained under torture.According to a recent report on Israel’s Channel 2 television, a source close to the investigation said Ben-Uliel’s testimony and reenactment at the scene of the crime included a great many details that were never made public, and could only have been known to those who were there.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

20 And Isaac was forty years old (A BIBLE GENERATION NUMBER=1967 + 40=2007+) when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 And the children (2 NATIONS IN HER-ISRAEL-ARABS) struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels;(ISRAEL AND THE ARABS) and the one people shall be stronger than the other people;(ISRAEL STRONGER THAN ARABS) and the elder shall serve the younger.(LITERALLY ISRAEL THE YOUNGER RULES (ISSAC)(JACOB-LATER NAME CHANGED TO ISRAEL) OVER THE OLDER ARABS (ISHMAEL)(ESAU)
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob:(THE YOUNGER-ISRAELI) and Isaac was threescore (60) years old when she bare them.(1967 + 60=2027)(COULD BE THE LAST GENERATION WHEN JERUSALEM IS DIVIDED AMOUNG THE 2 TWINS)(THE 2 TWINS WANT JERUSALEM-THE DIVISION OF JERUSALEM TODAY)(AND WHOS IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM TODAY-THE YOUNGER ISSAC-JACOB-ISRAEL)(AND WHO WANTS JERUSALEM DIVIDED-THE OLDER,ESAU-ISHMAEL (THE ARABS)
ISAIAH 28:14-19 (THIS IS THE 7 YR TREATY COVENANT OF DANIEL 9:27)
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
Most Israeli Jews say Jerusalem is a city divided-mar 6,16-the times of israel
The IDI Peace Index also asked respondents whether they agree with the statement that Jerusalem is a divided city.According to an abstract from the IDI, “A clear majority of Jewish Israelis (61%) thinks Jerusalem is divided into a western and eastern city.”In comparison, when the IDI first asked that question in 1999, 49% of respondents said the city was not divided, as opposed to 44% who said it was.The rate of Israelis who see the city as divided is much higher among left-wing Israelis: 88.5% and 85% among voters of the Zionist Union and Meretz, respectively.“Likud voters were split on the question (49% for each view),” the abstract says. “Some 47% of Arab Israelis think it is divided.”
French envoy to visit region to lay groundwork for peace confab-Despite Israeli opposition to conference, special envoy for peace initiative reportedly planning to hold talks in Ramallah and Tel Aviv-By Dov Lieber March 6, 2016, 12:41 pm-the times of israel
France’s special envoy for its peace initiative to renew Israeli-Palestinian peace talks will meet this week with officials in Ramallah and Tel Aviv, the Palestinian envoy to France said Saturday.Ambassador Salman al-Harfi confirmed to the Palestinian Ma’an news outlet that Pierre Vimont will meet with Israeli and Palestinian officials to discuss preparations for an international peace summit to renew stalled peace talks.The summit is scheduled to take place in June or July, despite Israeli complaints that peace negotiations should take the form of direct talks.Before visiting the region, Vimont will attend the The 5th Extraordinary Islamic Summit on Palestine and Al-Quds (Jerusalem), which begins in the Indonesian capital Jakarta on Sunday.The summit, entitled “Uniting for a Just and Lasting Solution,” will also be attended by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.During his trip, the special envoy will also meet with Arab and international officials to discuss the framework for a meeting that will take place next April to set the agenda for the conference.The April meeting is for an international support group composed of world powers US, Russia, China, France and the UK, as well the “Arab quartet,” Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Jordan and Egypt. Additionally, Brazil, Japan, Germany, South Africa and India will also attend the support meeting. Neither Israeli or Palestinian officials will attend the meeting in April.Harfi stressed that Israel had not yet confirmed its official stance on the conference, but that high international support will see the initiative move forward regardless of Jerusalem’s position, according to Ma’an.The Prime Minister’s Office did not respond to a request for a comment.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had earlier dismissed France’s proposal. He said an ultimatum issued by Paris that it would recognize a Palestinian state if talks fail was “mystifying” and counterproductive, arguing that it gave Palestinians no incentive to compromise.Jerusalem has also maintained that direct talks are needed to reach an agreement.In January, then French foreign minister Laurent Fabius announced plans by Paris for an international conference to “bring about the two-state solution” to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Hamas rejected the French proposal last Wednesday.“The initiative is a bid to stop the ongoing Jerusalem Intifada and cancel the Palestinian rights in Jerusalem and the right of return,” said a statement from the lslamist group, which rules the Gaza Strip.Hamas’s statement followed remarks by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas last Tuesday, who voiced hope that the French initiative could lead to a solution reminiscent of the breakthrough talks on Iran’s nuclear deal.
Netanyahu rebuffs claims of rift with US ahead of Biden visit-Prime minister hails upcoming visit by vice president, says those who predicted collapse of ties with Washington were wrong-By AFP and Times of Israel staff March 6, 2016, 2:28 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke Sunday of “strong” ties with the United States ahead of a visit by Vice President Joe Biden, despite deep disagreement over the nuclear accord with Iran.“This visit expresses the strong relations between Israel and our ally the US,” Netanyahu said at the start of a cabinet meeting.“There are those who have predicted the collapse of these relations. It is not so. The relationship is strong in all areas, including in the face of the challenges that we are standing together against in our region.”Biden is set to arrive on Tuesday for talks with Netanyahu as well as Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.Israel and the United States have been seeking to move past deep disagreement over the Iran nuclear accord signed in July, which Netanyahu strongly opposed, and work out a new 10-year defense aid package.The current deal grants Israel some $3.1 billion annually, in addition to spending on other projects such as missile defense.At the cabinet meeting, Netanyahu also hailed Jerusalem’s expanding diplomatic relations with other countries, particularly as a leader in development and industry, welcoming Romanian President Klaus Iohannis to the country.Israel, Netanyahu said, is not only an “asset today in the fight against radical Islam,” but also “captures opportunities for the future, especially in technology.”Biden’s visit comes amid a five-month wave of violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories that has killed 29 Israelis and 181 Palestinians. Most of the Palestinians who died in the violence were killed while carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, according to Israeli authorities; others were shot dead by Israeli forces during clashes or demonstrations.The White House said on Friday that Biden would not be pursuing any major new peace initiatives during his visit.US President Barack Obama has acknowledged that there will be no comprehensive agreement between Israelis and Palestinians before he leaves office in January 2017.His administration’s harsh criticism of Israeli settlement building in the West Bank has added to tensions between the two longstanding allies.Biden is also expected to discuss the fight against the Islamic State group with Netanyahu.
Report: Russia freezes delivery of S-300 missile defense to Iran-Kuwaiti paper cites unnamed source as saying Israel provided proof that Iran was giving advanced weapons to Hezbollah-By Dov Lieber and Times of Israel staff March 6, 2016, 5:05 pm
Russian President Vladmir Putin reportedly froze the transfer of the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system to Iran after receiving evidence from Israel that Tehran had transferred advanced weapons to Hezbollah.The Kuwaiti newspaper al-Jarida published the unconfirmed report on Saturday, citing an unnamed source allegedly “familiar” with Putin.The source said that Putin scuppered the delivery after Israel showed that Iran had repeatedly attempted to transfer the SA-22 Greyhound short-range air defense system to the Lebanese-based terrorist group.The report also said that Russian pilots claimed to have detected the presence of advance anti-aircraft systems in Hezbollah-controlled territory straddling the Syria-Lebanon border.Israel, according to the report, has turned a blind eye to the Iranian-backed group’s possession of the Soviet-made SA-5 Gammon surface-to-air missile system, known also as the S-200.Russia and Iran signed a contract for the delivery of five S-300 batteries in 2007. But in autumn 2010, Russia’s then-president Dmitry Medvedev banned the supply of the systems to Tehran amid escalating global sanctions against Iran’s nuclear program. The contract, worth more than $800 million, was annulled and the advance payment returned to the Iranians.Iran filed a $4 billion lawsuit in the Court of Arbitration in Geneva over breach of the contract. According to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, Moscow persuaded Tehran to withdraw the lawsuit after “long and tough negotiations.”In April 2015, shortly after the announcement of the Lausanne outline for the nuclear deal between world powers and Iran, Putin lifted the ban on S-300 deliveries to Tehran, over American and Israeli objections.In August, Iran and Russia announced that the system would be delivered by the end of the year, with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov saying at the time that “just technical details” remained to be agreed upon.Iranian media has repeatedly reported on the ostensibly imminent arrival of the batteries.

Palestinian media watchdog gets kicked off YouTube-Israeli group PMW protests termination that came after it uploaded PA television program urging ‘war’ to ‘destroy the Zionist’s soul’-By Times of Israel staff March 6, 2016, 6:35 pm
An Israeli media watchdog that reports on Palestinian incitement has seen its YouTube channel terminated for allegedly violating the video-sharing site’s “terms of service.”The account contained “nearly all” of the group’s published videos, Palestinian Media Watch said in a statement Sunday.“It is outrageous that YouTube closed PMW’s account, which is a blow to the war on terror,” the group added. “This is particularly dangerous now while Israel is fighting a war against Palestinian terror. PMW documentation on PMW’s YouTube account shows the PA and Fatah leaders’ support and promotion of the terror.”It is not immediately clear what led to the termination. PMW faces opposition online among pro-Palestinian activists who accuse it of being a pro-Israel advocacy group. YouTube’s terms of service include a prohibition on hate speech.The termination followed PMW’s Thursday publication of its latest video gleaned from Palestinian media, which shows a young girl on an official Palestinian Authority television program called “Children’s Talk” reciting a poem calling for “war that will smash the oppressor and destroy the Zionist’s soul.”“PMW’s exposure of Palestinian incitement and hate speech is recognized and used by parliaments and governments around the world,” the group said.“On Friday, a 25-minute debate took place in Swedish Parliament in which the PA’s support for the current terror was discussed, and the proof was based entirely on PMW documentation – most of which is no longer accessible on PMW’s YouTube account.”The group, based in Jerusalem, urged YouTube, which is owned by tech giant Google, to “immediately reinstate” its account.

Under Egypt’s nose, Hamas boosts cooperation with IS in Sinai-The Gaza terror group’s armed wing is digging tunnels in broad daylight to smuggle in Islamic State jihadists for medical care-By Avi Issacharoff March 6, 2016, 8:36 am-the times of israel
The Egyptian soldiers stationed on the border of the Gaza Strip have encountered this sight more than once in the past few weeks: Hamas-owned bulldozers and tractors appear and begin excavations on the border with the Sinai Peninsula.Despite promises to Cairo that Hamas is not engaged in the smuggling trade with the Islamic State’s Sinai affiliate, the bulldozers are digging tunnels in broad daylight, to the astonishment of the Egyptians, to boost the smuggling from and to Sinai that has recently been compromised.These bulldozers approach the border, and then abruptly disappear underground, according to sources in the Gaza Strip. Several seconds later, they exit the tunnels, loaded with dirt, and unload it not far from the excavation site.Even if Cairo gave the workers the benefit of the doubt and thought they could be working without the knowledge of Hamas, the sight of them taking “coffee breaks” at Hamas security positions, right in front of the Egyptian soldiers’ eyes, dispels any notion that the Strip’s rulers aren’t behind what’s going on.All this is taking place, despite the repeated denials by Hamas officials in the past few months that they are cooperating with or have secret ties with the Islamic State in Sinai.Time and again, they have claimed that their organization upholds the Egyptian national interest and is not enabling smuggling from Sinai to Gaza and back via the tunnel network.Yet the heavy digging shows the cooperation between the Gaza terror group and the IS Sinai group is seemingly only getting stronger. Hamas continues to dig tunnels into Sinai, using its heavy machinery. At the same time, the Sinai branch of the Islamic State and Hamas are trying to build a permanent and organized channel to evacuate wounded IS fighters into Gaza. This is on top of sending Gazan fighters to Sinai, as was recently reported by The Times of Israel.Sources in the Gaza Strip said that last week, one of the Islamic State’s primary smugglers in Sinai, Ibrahim Abu al-Kariya, a Bedouin resident of Sinai, visited the Strip. His goal was to meet with senior officials in Hamas’s armed wing to facilitate the evacuations of the wounded, through the tunnels, in a more orderly fashion.The IS fighters do not have access to medical care in the peninsula, since the Egyptian government and security forces control the hospitals, hence their need for hospitalization in Gaza.Hamas’s military wing, under the leadership of Muhammed Deif and Yahya Sinwar, accompany the IS arrivals from the moment they enter the Strip, hospitalize them under assumed identities, and take care of their every need. Moreover, al-Kariya coordinates the transfer of fighters – most of whom identify with Salafists, but at least some of whom were Hamas fighters until recently.In the past month, two former Hamas members went from the Strip to Sinai: Mohammed Sami and Mahmoud Zinet. The two are allegedly aligned with the Salafists, such that Hamas can renounce them if need be. Yet they went to Sinai with their former commanders’ knowledge.Al-Kariya is responsible for smuggling weapons into the Gaza Strip, and in exchange, he receives money, weapons manufactured in Gaza, and the military know-how of those former Hamas fighters who went to fight in Sinai. Hamas is fully aware of this phenomenon, according to the sources in Gaza, and they view the cooperation with the jihadists as critical to their interests.This is in stark contrast to the view of the political wing, which opposes it and demanded that the this collaboration be ended.Even as Hamas is upping excavation efforts, the scope of smuggling operations has dropped, thanks to Egyptian efforts to stymie the transfer of goods and people between the Strip and Sinai.But every so often, Hamas manages to operate a tunnel or several, primarily in the area south of the Rafah crossing, closer to the triangular border with Israel.
Police, protesters scuffle in Jerusalem after Arab woman arrested-Protest of Muslim women at Damascus Gate turns violent; no injuries reported-By Judah Ari Gross March 6, 2016, 2:36 pm-the times of israel
An Arab woman was arrested outside of Jerusalem’s Old City on Sunday, sparking low-level clashes between bystanders and police.There were no reports of injuries in the incident at the heavily guarded Damascus Gate.Police said there was “procession of Muslim women” protesting at the site when cops approached a woman to arrest her.A police spokesperson said the suspect then entered a store to avoid arrest, as a crowd at the site began throwing rocks at the policemen. Police originally said the woman had thrown stones, and later maintained they were investigating whether that was the case.Police subsequently dispersed the crowd.The woman who was arrested was a member of the all-female Murabitat group, known for opposing Jewish presence on the Temple Mount, by shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great”) at visitors, and sometimes resorting to physical assaults. The Prime Minister’s Office describes the group as a “salaried group of activists aimed at initiating provocations on the Temple Mount.”The Damascus Gate area, the main entrance to the Muslim Quarter of the Old City in Jerusalem, has been the site of dozens of Palestinian attacks on Jews in recent months.Police have stepped up security there, including searching those coming in and out of the gate — the main entrance into the Muslim Quarter of the Old City.Last month, policewoman Hadar Cohen, 19, was killed and a colleague was seriously injured after three Palestinians shot and stabbed them in the same area.Twenty-nine Israelis and three foreign nationals have been killed in a wave of Palestinian terrorism and violence since October. Over 170 Palestinians have also been killed — some two-thirds of them while attacking Israelis, and the rest during clashes with troops — according to the Israeli army.Lee Gancman contributed to this report.
Justice minister cleared over meeting with family of Duma suspect-Ethics Committee rejects complaint against Ayelet Shaked for her encounter with mother of Jewish minor suspected of terrorism-By Tamar Pileggi March 6, 2016, 6:16 pm-the times of israel
The Knesset Ethics Committee on Sunday dismissed a complaint against Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked for meeting with family members of a suspected Jewish terrorist charged with a deadly arson attack on a Palestinian home in the West Bank last year.A spokesperson from Shaked’s office confirmed to The Times of Israel that the meeting with the underage suspect’s family — raised in a complaint by opposition Meretz MK Tamar Zandberg — was not considered a breach of ethics.New York-based Jewish newspaper The Forward reported in late December that Shaked met the week before with the mother of the American-Israeli minor suspected of acting as an accomplice in the July 2015 terror attack that killed three members of the Dawabsha family.The Forward said the meeting took place after the suspect, whose name is barred from publication in Israel due to his age, complained that he had been tortured by the Shin Bet security service during his interrogation.The suspect’s lawyer, Adi Kedar from the Honenu organization, which mainly handles cases of Israelis accused of extremist crimes, was also present at the meeting, the report said.The decision comes weeks after the Ethics Committee suspended three Arab MKs for meeting with the families of Palestinian terrorists on February 2.In recent weeks, 21-year-old Amiram Ben-Uliel, the main suspect in the Duma case, also alleged the Shin Bet used torture and abuse to extract a confession out of him.Ben-Uliel and the unnamed minor were indicted in early January in the firebomb attack. The attack caused the immediate death of toddler Ali and the deaths in the following weeks of parents Riham and Saad. Five-year-old Ahmed Dawabsha, Ali’s brother, remains hospitalized in Israel with severe burns, and faces a long rehabilitation.Ben-Uliel was indicted for murder; the minor, who is not alleged to have directly participated in the fire-bombing, was charged as an accomplice.The indictments marked a key breakthrough in the case, which shocked Israelis and led to unprecedented measures against Jewish terror suspects, including a cabinet vote to extend to Israeli citizens counterterrorism practices such as detention without trial.Politicians across almost the entire political spectrum, including Shaked, backed the Shin Bet, which they said acted in accordance with Israeli law.“The Shin Bet has acted within the framework of the law, accompanied by court orders,” Shaked said in December. “Some of the stories [of unnecessary force] spread in recent days have no connection to reality.Ben-Uliel’s testimony, along with the allegations of abuse, marks the likely central argument of the defense in his trial, namely, that his confession was inadmissible as it was obtained under torture.According to a recent report on Israel’s Channel 2 television, a source close to the investigation said Ben-Uliel’s testimony and reenactment at the scene of the crime included a great many details that were never made public, and could only have been known to those who were there.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
