Israel, Turkey invoke Ottoman
Empire in spat over Jerusalem-Bilateral ties tested by persistent Temple
Mount standoff, though experts doubt crisis will unravel 2016
reconciliation deal-By Raphael Ahren July 26, 2017, 4:20 pm-THE TIMES OF
ISRAEL
Further stoking bilateral tensions,
Turkey on Wednesday slammed Israel for criticizing President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan’s harsh denunciation of the Jewish state’s recent actions
on the Temple Mount, drawing a fresh Israeli retort, as a bitter war of
words between the former allies entered a second day.In remarks
Wednesday, Turkey also took issue with Israel for implying that
religious tolerance was lacking during Ottoman rule in Jerusalem.“At the
Ottoman era, communities belonging to different religions and sects
lived in peaceful coexistence and enjoyed freedom of worship for
centuries. In this context, Jews would be expected to know best and
appreciate the unique tolerance during the Ottoman era,” Turkey’s
Foreign Ministry said in a statement.It was responding to a statement a
day earlier by Israel’s Foreign Ministry that rebuffed Ankara’s
criticism of Israeli security measure on the Temple Mount in the Old
City of Jerusalem.In Tuesday’s statement, Israel implied that Turkey had
no right to preach to Israel, since it restricted access to the holy
site during its 400-year control over the city in the previous
millennium.The area of today’s Israel was ruled by the Ottoman Empire
between 1517 and 1917.Shortly after Turkey’s statement Wednesday, Israel
shot back with a fresh salvo, citing Turkey’s occupation of north
Cyprus and repression of Kurds and journalists.“It’s absurd that the
Turkish government, which occupies northern Cyprus, brutally represses
the Kurdish minority and jails journalists, lectures Israel, the only
true democracy in the region. The days of the Ottoman Empire have
passed,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement, echoing Tuesday’s
retort.The spat began Tuesday when Erdogan called on Muslims to come to
Israel to “protect” the Al-Aqsa Mosque after Israel installed metal
detectors there in the wake of a terror attack on July 14 that saw three
Arab Israelis kill two Israeli police officers using guns that had been
smuggled into the site.“If today Israeli soldiers are heedlessly able
to soil the compound of Al-Aqsa Mosque with their boots citing trivial
incidents as a pretext, and if Muslims’ blood is being easily shed
there, then the reason for it is our failure to defend al-Quds
[Jerusalem] strongly enough,” he told members of his AK Party in a
meeting in the parliament in Ankara.“Since Mecca is one half of our
heart and Medina the other half, with al-Quds draping over them like a
thin gauze, we should defend al-Quds together. Let’s defend it as if we
are defending Mecca and Medina,” he urged.In his speech, Erdogan
stressed that the Ottoman Empire ruled over the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s
third-holiest site, for four centuries. “Our ancestors had acted with
such great delicacy and sensitivity that it is impossible not to
remember them with gratitude and longing given today’s cruelty.”Suleiman
the Magnificent renovated the Jaffa Gate and Mimar Sinan the Architect
“earmarked an area outside its western wall for the Jews to worship,”
Erdogan said. “It was the Mufti of al-Quds, Muslims’ religious leader in
the province, that the Christians resorted to whenever a problem
erupted among adherents of various Christian denominations in the city.
Our ancestors had never thought of denying other religions the right to
life throughout their rule of the city for 400 years.”He contrasted that
with Israel “banning Muslims” from worshiping at the holy site, warning
that his “patience is running thin.”Israel responded angrily.“It would
be interesting to see what Erdoğan would say to the residents of
Northern Cyprus or to the Kurds,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s
office said. “Erdogan is the last one to lecture Israel.”Israel’s
Foreign Ministry published its own statement Tuesday, denouncing the
Turkish president’s remarks as “absurd, unfounded and distorted.”“He
would be better off dealing with the difficult problems facing his own
country,” the statement read. “The days of the Ottoman Empire have
passed. Jerusalem was, is, and will always be the capital of the Jewish
people. In stark contrast to the past, the government in Jerusalem is
committed to security, liberty, freedom of worship and respect for the
rights of all minorities. Those who live in glass palaces should be wary
of casting stones.”On Wednesday, Ankara shot back, condemning the
Israeli Foreign Ministry’s “presumptuous statement.”The Al-Aqsa Mosque
“ranks prominently among the highest priorities of the Islamic World,”
the Turkish Foreign Ministry said. “As the Israeli occupation in East
Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza completed its 50th year, it is clear that
the efforts to disregard the fact that East Jerusalem is under
occupation will not contribute to the attainment of peace and stability
in the region as well as the resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli
conflict.”Israel must “urgently make common sense prevail, go back to
the status quo at Al-Haram Al-Sharif [the Temple Mount] and lift all the
restrictions on the freedom of worship,” the statement continued.It
also asserted that authorities in modern Turkey safeguard “freedom of
faith and worship.”In recent days, several demonstrations against
Israel’s actions on the Temple Mount were held outside an Istanbul
synagogue.Given the current atmosphere, Israel’s Foreign Ministry on
Monday instructed employees at Israel’s diplomatic facilities in Turkey
to work from home rather than coming into the office.Still, several
Israeli experts on Turkey said the heated verbal exchanges are unlikely
to unravel the reconciliation deal Jerusalem and Ankara struck in August
2016 after years of frozen diplomatic ties in the wake of the so-called
flotilla incident. In May 2010, Israeli troops raided the Gaza-bound
Mavi Marmara ship and killed nine Turkish nationals aboard who attacked
them violently. Israel has apologized and pledged to pay reparations to
the families of the deceased.“Currently it doesn’t look like there’s
reason for Erdogan to cut relations again,” said Efrat Aviv from the
Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies. “Even after the reconciliation
deal was signed, nobody thought that Israel-Turkey relations would be
amazing from now on, and that Erdogan’s attitude had entirely
changed.”Turkey’s involvement in the ongoing standoff over access to the
Temple Mount should be viewed as part of Erdogan’s desire to become the
leader of the Muslim world, she said. “That’s a dangerous development
for Israel.”Following the July 14 shooting, Israel took the rare step of
closing the Temple Mount to Muslim worshipers on a Friday — the holiest
day of the week in Islam — in order to search for weapons. The site was
reopened two days later after Israel installed metal detectors at the
entrances to the compound. Previously, detectors were only at the
Mughrabi Gate, the entrance for non-Muslim visitors.The move led to
widespread anger among Muslims, who boycotted praying at the site in
protest of the metal detectors, and sparked a series of violent clashes
with Israeli security forces, during which five Palestinians were
killed. Three members of an Israeli family were stabbed to death during
their Sabbath meal at a West Bank settlement by a Palestinian terrorist
who, after being captured, said he had carried out the attack because of
the Temple Mount dispute.The metal detectors were removed overnight
Monday amid intense pressure from Muslim countries, including Turkey,
but worshipers have yet to declare the crisis over, insisting that
Israel do away with all new security arrangements put in place in the
wake of the July 14 attack before they return to the Mount.Erdogan
himself echoed those sentiments on Wednesday.“Israel took the right step
to remove the metal detectors to help lower tension,” he said at a
meeting on further education in the Islamic world in Ankara. “But is it
enough according to our wishes? No, it is not.”Erdogan added that Turkey
“cannot tolerate” constraints placed on Muslims visiting the site
during Friday prayers. “The Israeli government want to destroy the
Islamic character of Jerusalem with a new practice every day,” he
said.Agencies and Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Muslim
leader says Temple Mount protests to go on until measures
removed-Cleric says police to be in touch with lawyer from Islamic group
about resolving situation-By Agencies and Times of Israel staff July
26, 2017, 6:03 pm
A senior Muslim official in
Jerusalem said Wednesday that worshipers would not return to the Temple
Mount until Israel removes the new railings and cameras it installed
after a deadly terror attack there, prolonging a crisis that Israel
hoped it had resolved by making concessions at the site.Ikrema Sabri,
head of the Supreme Islamic Committee, said that even after Israel
removed metal detectors and cameras from the site, more steps were
required to restore calm. He said mass prayer protests would continue
until the gates of the compound were opened, metal railings and an iron
bridge removed and all cameras taken down.He said a lawyer working on
behalf of the Muslim administration of the holy site would be in touch
with Israeli police about it.“We will not enter the mosque until these
things are implemented,” he told The Associated Press. “Now we are
awaiting the response of the police.”Israel’s security cabinet announced
Monday that in place of the metal detectors it would employ
non-intrusive “advanced technologies,” reportedly smart cameras that can
detect hidden objects. The new security system is said to be set up in
the next six months at a cost of $28 million.Cameras at the entrance to
the Temple Mount set up after the July 14 terror attack were also taken
down, though cameras that had been in place around the Old City already
remain in place, a police official said Tuesday.Netanyahu appeared to be
doubling back again Wednesday when he instructed police forces to
conduct thorough inspections at the site.The demands set off the
prospect of a renewed showdown ahead of Friday prayers at the site, when
a large number of worshipers arrive for the centerpiece of the Muslim
prayer week.On Wednesday, Hamas called for a “day of rage,” while the
Palestinian Authority’s Fatah faction urged Muslims to “intensify the
popular struggle” over the Temple Mount on the holy day.Israel installed
the new security measures earlier this month in the wake of the July 14
terror attack by three Arab Israelis who shot two Israeli police
officers to death with guns that had been smuggled onto the Mount. It
said they were necessary to prevent further attacks, while Palestinians
claimed Israel was trying to expand its control over the site. The issue
sparked some of the worst street clashes in years and threatened to
draw Israel into conflict with other Arab and Muslim nations.Under
intense pressure, Israel removed the metal detectors and said it planned
to install sophisticated security cameras instead.But Palestinian
politicians and Muslim clerics say that wasn’t enough and demanded that
Israel restore the situation at the shrine in Jerusalem’s Old City to
what it was before the July 14 deadly attack.In response to that attack,
Israel closed the site for two days for weapons searches and installed
the metal detectors. The decision quickly triggered Muslim protests amid
rumors that Israel was trying to expand its control at the site under
the guise of security — a claim Israel strongly denied.Low-level clashes
have continued in and around Jerusalem. After Tuesday evening prayers,
violence once again broke out in East Jerusalem, with rocks thrown at
police officers who responded with tear gas and other “nonlethal crowd
disposal methods,” police said in a statement. The Red Crescent said 13
people were treated that night after being hit by rubber bullets during
protests.On Wednesday, police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said
journalists were being prevented from entering parts of Jerusalem’s Old
City as part of efforts to lower tensions around the flashpoint holy
site.The continued standoff highlighted the deep distrust between Israel
and the Palestinians when it comes to the shrine — the third-holiest
site of Islam and the holiest of Judaism, once home to the biblical
Temples.The latest development could put Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu in a tough spot, as he tries to tamp out a wave of unrest that
has triggered international pressure while not appearing to his
right-wing base as capitulating.His government has faced a growing
backlash at home for what critics said was hasty decision-making and
embarrassing policy reversals. Even Israel Hayom, a free daily owned by
Netanyahu’s billionaire patron Sheldon Adelson, denounced Israel’s
response to the crisis as “feeble and frightened.”In an unprecedented
headline, the paper — which has been an unequivocal source of support
for the prime minister — led with “Netanyahu’s demonstration of
helplessness.”Israel has also found itself in a new scuffle with Turkey,
whose leader President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been among its fiercest
critics. On Tuesday, Erdogan accused Israel of using security measures
as a pretext to take over holy sites in Jerusalem.Israel’s foreign
ministry responded by calling the comments “delusional, baseless and
distorted.”“The days of the Ottoman Empire are over,” it said. “He who
lives in a palace of glass would be better off not throwing
stones.”Netanyahu’s office also chimed in, saying it wondered what
Erdogan would have to say to Kurds and residents of north Cyprus.
“Erdogan is the last one who can preach to Israel,” it said in a
statement.On Wednesday, Turkey’s foreign ministry called the Israeli
statements “arrogant.”
Opposition warns of
‘apartheid’ as Knesset starts ‘Jewish state bill’ debates-In heated
session, Herzog dubs proposal a ‘classic example of fascistization’;
Shaked, Levin defend bill, urge opposition to get on board and ‘make
history’-By Marissa Newman July 26, 2017, 12:34 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
A
special Knesset committee on Wednesday kicked off its first debate on
the contested Jewish nation-state bill, in a heated meeting that saw
ministers and coalition lawmakers vowing to “make history” and
opposition members warning the proposal could tip Israel into
“apartheid” or “fascist” territory.The at-times-stormy meeting saw three
opposition MKs — the Joint (Arab) List’s Ahmad Tibi and Osama Saadi and
Meretz’s Ilan Gilon — removed for disruptions. Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, who was slated to attend, backed out minutes before it began
due to security consultations.From the coalition, Justice Minister
Ayelet Shaked defended the bill — approved in its preliminary reading on
May 10 — which would for the first time enshrine Israel’s Jewish
character in its constitutional Basic Laws.Israel’s national identity is
mentioned in a number of the country’s laws, but the 11 existing Basic
Laws deal mostly with state institutions and the state’s democratic
character. The nation-state bill, proponents say, would put Jewish
values and democratic values on equal footing. Critics, however, say the
bill effectively discriminates against Israel’s Arab and other minority
communities.Some 120 countries have their anthems, 136 have references
to the flag, and 170 have a national language anchored in their
respective constitutions, Shaked said. Moreover, she added, many
countries detail their national values in their constitutional laws and
some, mainly European countries, explicitly give the church official
standing.“Every ‘the’ is important in this law, every comma,” said
Shaked, urging the committee to work diligently on the law as “it will
remain with us forever.” She also urged dialogue with the opposition to
together “make history.”Tourism Minister Yariv Levin (Likud) said the
bill was merely designed to rectify an “imbalance” in the country’s
Basic Laws, which largely focus on its democratic character.“This law,
ladies and gentlemen, does not establish anything new,” he said.He said
“agreements” had been reached within the coalition on proposed revisions
to the bill, though “there are issues that remain open.”That comment
set off protests by Zionist Union MK Revital Swid, who noted that though
the committee was convening for the first time to debate the bill, its
members did not have an updated proposal from the coalition and were
left in the dark on what changes were being introduced since Likud MK
Avi Dichter’s version received the Knesset’s initial approval in
May.Shaked agreed with Swid and said the coalition agreements should be
made public to the panel as it begins its discussions, but did not
elaborate on what those internal concessions were.Kulanu MK Tali Ploskov
said her coalition party objected to identifying Israel as “the Jewish
nation-state,” rather than the “Jewish and democratic
nation-state.”Opening up the session, Likud MK Amir Ohana — the head of
the special committee tasked with finalizing the bill — vowed that
“human rights will be safeguarded for all” in the final version, as
opposition lawmakers furiously argued the proposal would make Israel’s
Arab, Druze, and Christian minorities second-class citizens.“Those who
claim this law is racist is like someone who claims Zionism is racism —
no less,” he said.Hitting back, opposition leader Isaac Herzog branded
the bill “a classic example of fascistization.”“You’re playing with
fire,” he warned the coalition, saying the law could “rip the country to
shreds.”“The State of Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people,
period… it’s obvious,” said Herzog, referring to Israel’s Declaration of
Independence, which defines it as such.Meanwhile, the opposition’s
Zionist Union MK Tzipi Livni called it the “law that will bury the
Declaration of Independence.”“I asked to include the word ‘equality,’
and you rejected it,” she said, referring to attempts during the
previous government, when Livni was justice minister, to advance various
versions of the bill.From the opposition Yesh Atid party, MK Yael
German said the law would place Israel “on the verge of apartheid.”“You
are weak people,” added the leader of the Joint (Arab) List Ayman Odeh.
“Only a country that isn’t normal acts this way.”“No apartheid law will
erase the fact that in this homeland there are two nations,” he added.In
May, the Yesh Atid and Zionist Union opposition parties voted against
the bill. Both parties have said they would support the version of the
bill formulated by Likud MK Benny Begin, which is simply a
paragraph-long affirmation that Israel is the homeland of the Jewish
people.According to the language of Dichter’s bill, which forms the
basis of the current discussions, the law is needed “to protect the
status of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people in order to
anchor in Israel’s Basic Laws the values of the State of Israel as a
Jewish and democratic state, in the spirit of the Declaration of
Independence.”According to the proposal, while every individual has the
right “to preserve his culture, heritage, language and identity,” the
right to realize self-determination “is unique to the Jewish people.” In
another controversial clause, Arabic is changed from an official
language to one with “special status,” which would ensure its speakers
the “right to language-accessible state services.”Dichter, a former
chief of the Shin Bet security agency, has lamented the “disinformation”
about the bill, denying the bill downgrades the status of Arabic in
Israel as an official language. He also dismissed claims the law
compromises the rights of Israel’s Arab minority, saying it merely
anchors Israel’s Jewish status while protecting the rights of other
groups.Another clause that has been the subject of scrutiny is one that
appears to suggest the High Court of Justice favor Israel’s Jewish
character over its democratic one. The attorney general has opposed this
clause, according to Hebrew reports this month.Netanyahu has thrown his
support behind the bill. However, while the prime minister had
initially predicted the bill would pass its three readings and become
law by the Knesset session’s end this week, the committee only began
deliberations on Wednesday, pushing off the first reading for at least
three more months when the Knesset reconvenes in late October.Raoul

EU top court
rules Hamas to stay on its list of terror groups-Decision comes as
surprise, as court’s top lawyer had argued in favor of 2014 decision to
delist the Palestinian organization-By Raphael Ahren July 26, 2017,
11:18 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
The Court of
Justice of the European Union on Wednesday decided to keep Hamas on the
EU blacklist of terrorist organizations.The court thus surprisingly
disqualified a 2014 ruling by a lower EU court that said Hamas should be
removed from the list on procedural grounds, a move that sparked
vehement protests from the Israeli government at the time.EU Ambassador
to Israel Lars Faaborg-Andersen welcomed the decision.“The current
listing of Hamas remains in force and the European Union continues to
consider Hamas a terrorist organization,” he told The Times of Israel on
Wednesday morning, minutes after the court issued its ruling. All
restrictive measures against the group — an asset freeze and a ban
against soliciting or mobilizing funds — remain in force, he added.Even
if the court had decided differently, its ruling would have only applied
to the Hamas’s status between 2010 and 2014 and would not have affected
its current status, he stressed.In 2010, Hamas appealed its placement
on the union’s list of terrorist organizations. Four years later, the
EU’s General Court ruled in the group’s favor, arguing that insufficient
evidence had been presented to merit the blacklisting. Hamas had been
placed on the list based “not on acts examined and confirmed in
decisions of competent authorities but on factual imputations derived
from the press and the internet,” the court ruled in December 2014.The
EU Council immediately appealed that decision. Wednesday’s ruling by the
Luxembourg-based EU Court of Justice ruled in the Council’s favor.“We
welcome the fact that the ECJ has upheld the EU Council’s appeal and set
aside the judgment of the General Court concerning the listing of Hamas
from 2010 to 2014. The EJC has thus confirmed the legality of those
listings,” Faaborg-Andersen said.“We recall that the appeal and the
General Court’s judgment did not concern the EU’s subsequent listings of
2015-17,” he added. 2/ The EU continues to consider Hamas a terrorist
organisation; measures restricting its activity remain in force— EU in
Israel (@EUinIsrael) July 26, 2017-Wednesday’s decision came as a
surprise to many in Jerusalem, since in September Eleanor Sharpston, an
advocate general of the Court of Justice, said that the General Court
was correct to remove Hamas from the blacklist in 2014.The ECJ usually
follows the recommendations of its top lawyers.But on Wednesday, it
ruled that the General Court in 2014 “made an error of law,” according
to a press release.“With regard to Hamas, the Court observes that the
General Court annulled the continued freezing of funds solely on the
ground that the Council had not referred, by way of justification, to
national decisions by competent authorities,” the press release stated.
But such “national decisions” were only required for a group’s initial
listing, not for their subsequent retention on the list, the court
ruled. Hamas had been on the EU’s list of terrorist organizations since
it was created in 2001.“The Court of Justice therefore sets aside the
2014 judgment of the General Court. It refers the case back to the
General Court so that the latter may examine the facts and arguments on
which it did not rule in its 2014 judgment. Since the General Court’s
judgment has been set aside, the Council measures by which Hamas’ funds
continue to be frozen are to remain in force for the time being.”In
2014, the General Court had also ruled that the Sri Lankan Tamil Tigers
group be removed from the EU terror blacklist. On Wednesday, the higher
court upheld that decision despite the General Court’s “error of law,”
arguing that the EU Council failed to convincingly explain why it
believes the group intended to continue terrorist attacks in Sri
Lanka.Last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the EU’s
political demands on Israel as “absolutely crazy.”The European Union
imposed travel bans and asset freezes on Hamas, which controls the Gaza
Strip, after the September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda terror attacks on New York
and Washington.Hamas has opposed the sanctions, arguing that it is a
legally elected government and therefore has the right to conduct
military operations against Israel.The European Jewish Congress welcomed
Wednesday’s decision to keep Hamas on the EU terror list.“This ruling
is an important political message for the fight against international
terror, which knows no difference between countries and peoples and
strikes in the hearts of European countries as well as commonly in
Israel.” Dr. Moshe Kantor, president of the EJC, said. “It also sends a
clear message that those who oppose peace in the Middle East by acts of
murder and terror have no place within the European Union.“Hamas is a
part of an international terror network and has murdered countless
people,” he continued. “One just needs to look at Art. 7 of their
charter to know their proudly stated genocidal aspiration to the mass
murder of Jews all over the world.”AFP contributed to this report.

thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
EZEKIEL 39:1-8
1
Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and
say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the
chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will
turn thee back,(RUSSIA-ARAB MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS) and leave but the
sixth part of thee,(5/6TH OR 300 MILLION DEAD RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS I
BELIEVE) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA)
and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,(
ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the
ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be
devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6
And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB) and among them
that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the
LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my
people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more:
and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
Netanyahu
warns Iran filling the void left by IS in Golan-Touring northern
border, PM says Islamic Republic and its proxies seek to threaten Israel
with precision weapons-By Times of Israel staff July 25, 2017, 7:16 pm
Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said that Iran is seeking to
replace the Islamic State terror group in the Golan Heights in order to
create a new front against Israel.“The situation here is changing
rapidly, IS is in retreat, but Iran is seeking to fill the void,” he
said during a tour of the Golan Heights with Defense Minister Avigdor
Liberman and IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot. “Iran together with
Hezbollah are creating a northern arc here, with the help of precision
weapons.”“We are dealing with these new threats to the State of Israel.
We are paying close attention to a range of threats to the State of
Israel,” he added.Netanyahu has warned repeatedly of Iranian attempts to
establish military infrastructure with which to threaten Israel from
the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, recently telling a number of
Central European leaders that Iran, via its proxies, have and are still
trying to create “a terror front” against Israel there.Israel has
repeatedly said it will not allow Iran to set up a permanent presence in
Syria and has carried out a number of airstrikes in Syria against
suspected shipments of “game-changing” weapons bound for the Hezbollah
terror group.Earlier this month, Netanyahu said that he opposes the deal
brokered by the United States and Russia that led to an open-ended
ceasefire in southern Syria, saying it does not sufficiently address
Iranian military ambitions in the area.The prime minister said that
while the plan aims to keep Iran 20 kilometers (12 miles) away from the
Israeli border, it did not address Iran’s plans to cement its presence
in Syria, which, he said, included the establishment of a naval and air
force bases.Apprehensions over Iranian designs in the region were
further stoked by recent movements of Shiite Muslim militias — loyal to
Iran and fighting alongside Syrian government forces — toward Jordan’s
border with Syria, and to another strategic area in the southeast, close
to where the two countries meet Iraq.In addition to Israel, a number of
Sunni countries in the area have also warned against Iranian efforts to
establish a “Shiite crescent” stretching from Tehran to Beirut via its
allies in Baghdad and Damascus, with which to pursue its regional
ambitions.Agencies contributed to this report.
Trump:
Hezbollah threatening ‘another conflict with Israel’-Speaking alongside
Lebanese PM, US president says terror group a ‘menace’ to Middle East,
promises imminent decision on sanctions-By AFP and Times of Israel staff
July 26, 2017, 12:31 am
WASHINGTON — US
President Donald Trump called the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah a
threat to the entire Middle East on Tuesday, accusing it and Iran of
fueling a humanitarian disaster in Syria.“Hezbollah is a menace to the
Lebanese state, the Lebanese people and the entire region,” Trump said
at a joint press conference alongside Lebanon’s Prime Minister Saad
Hariri at the White House.“The group continues to increase its military
arsenal which threatens to start yet another conflict with Israel… With
the support of Iran, the organization is also fueling humanitarian
catastrophe in Syria,” he told reporters.Hezbollah’s “true interests are
those of itself and its sponsor, Iran,” he said.Trump demurred when
asked to comment on sanctions against Hezbollah.“I’ll be making my
position very clear over the next 24 hours,” he said. “I have meetings
with some of my very expert military representatives and others, so I’ll
be making that decision very shortly.”Trump also accused Syria’s leader
Bashar Assad of committing “horrible” crimes against humanity, and
vowed to prevent his regime from carrying out any more chemical
attacks.“I’m not a fan of Assad. I certainly think that what he’s done
to that country and to humanity is horrible,” Trump said.Recalling that
he had ordered cruise missile strikes on Assad for using chemical
weapons, Trump said: “I am not somebody that will stand by and let him
get away with what he tried to do.”Trump also said he believed there
might not be any Russian or Iranian involvement in Syria today had
former president Barack Obama taken action against Assad.Earlier
Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Iran, through
Hezbollah, was seeking to replace the Islamic State terror group in the
Golan Heights in order to create a new front against Israel.“The
situation here is changing rapidly, IS is in retreat, but Iran is
seeking to fill the void,” Netanyahu said during a tour of the Golan
Heights with Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman and IDF Chief of Staff

Trump says transgender people
barred from US military-US president rules that military cannot be
burdened with ‘transgender medical costs and disruption’ it entails-By
AFP July 26, 2017, 7:00 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
WASHINGTON
— US President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that transgender people
may not serve “in any capacity” in the US military, citing the
“tremendous medical costs and disruption” their presence would cause.In
late June, Pentagon chief Jim Mattis delayed for six months a plan put
in place under Barack Obama’s administration to start accepting
transgender recruits.An estimated 2,500 to 7,000 transgender people are
among the 1.3 million active duty service members.“After consultation
with my generals and military experts, please be advised that the United
States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to
serve in any capacity in the US Military,” Trump tweeted.“Our military
must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be
burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that
transgender in the military would entail. Thank you.”After consultation
with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United
States Government will not accept or allow……— Donald J. Trump

costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.
Thank you— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 26, 2017-The issue of
transgender rights in America has been increasingly in the spotlight in
recent months, especially over how states regulate the use of public
restrooms.The Trump administration faced protests earlier this year
after it reversed Obama-era federal protections that urged schools to
allow transgender students to use the bathroom corresponding to their
gender identity, not the gender on their birth certificate.Last month,
the Pentagon said the five armed service branches could delay accepting
transgender recruits until January 1 as they “review their accession
plans and provide input on the impact to the readiness and lethality of
our forces,” spokeswoman Dana White said in a statement.Last week, White
explained that the different services were not in agreement on when to
accept transgender recruits.“The service chiefs all had to give their
what needed-to-be-done time frames” for integrating transgender troops,
she told reporters.“Different services had different takes. Some asked
for time… there were all kinds of different recommendations.”Perhaps the
most famous transgender US soldier is former Army intelligence analyst
Chelsea Manning, who served seven years in prison for one of the largest
dumps of classified documents in US history.Manning, who served as
Bradley Manning, was initially sentenced to 35 years in prison in 2013
for leaking more than 700,000 classified documents to WikiLeaks three
years earlier.She twice tried to take her own life last year alone,
before then-president Obama commuted her sentence just days before he
left office in January. Manning walked free in May.During her
incarceration at the Fort Leavenworth military prison, Manning battled
for — and won — the right to begin hormone treatment to begin
transitioning toward her female identity.Manning, who is still employed
by the army and retains its insurance coverage, has become an icon for
transgender activists.
