How well are women actually represented in
Israel’s government?-The second in a series of articles and videos
prepared by the Israel Democracy Institute in the run-up to April 9,
explaining and critiquing what goes on during an election period-By
Israel Democracy Institute-TOI-FEB 7,19
The steady
increase in the percentage of women in Israel’s parliament has not been
accompanied by a similar rise in their cabinet representation.In
February 1969, Golda Meir was appointed fourth prime minister of the
State of Israel, thus becoming one of the first women in the democratic
world to serve in her country’s highest political office. Despite this
achievement, however, the inclusion of women in Israel’s cabinets is far
from impressive.From the state’s establishment in 1948 and up till
1974, there was only one femlae cabinet minister — Golda Meir. The next
women to become cabinet ministers were Shulamit Aloni (1974), Sara Doron
(1983), Shoshana Arbeli (1986), and Ora Namir (1992). Until 1995, only
five women had ever served in the Israeli cabinet. Since 1996, the
situation has improved slightly, with 13 additional women appointed as
ministers. As of January 2019, of the 246 ministers who have served in
the Israeli cabinet, only 18 — just 7% — have been women.Which
portfolios are allocated to women? Three of the four top-tier ministries
– Finance, Defense, and Interior – have never been held by women. The
only senior ministry ever headed by a woman is the Foreign Ministry.
Golda Meir served as foreign minister from 1956 to 1966, and Tzipi Livni
was foreign minister from 2006 to 2009.While women have not usually
held the most senior positions in the cabinet, they have been prominent
in the Education Ministry, a realm that is often labeled as “feminine.”
Three women served as education ministers: Shulamit Aloni (1992–1993),
Limor Livnat (2001–2006), and Yuli Tamir (2006–2009). In other so-called
“second tier” ministries, women have served as ministers of Health
(Shoshana Arbeli, Yael German), Justice (Tzipi Livni, Ayelet Shaked),
and Communications (Shulamit Aloni, Limor Livnat, and Dalia Itzik).
Cabinet portfolios that are usually considered even more junior, such as
Culture, have seen even greater representation for women.Another
analysis that demonstrates the marginality of women in the Israeli
government examines how many women were in the cabinet at any given
time. For example, at the time of its investiture (May 2015),
Netanyahu’s fourth government included only three women out of 22
ministers. In fact, no more than four women have ever served in an
Israeli cabinet at the same time.In the current government, as of
January 2019, only four out of the 21 current cabinet ministers are
women. This is a very low percentage in comparison with other democratic
nations. The annual Global Gender Gap Report, published by the World
Economic Forum, includes data on the representation of women in
cabinets. The most recent report, from 2018, lists Israel in 74th place
out of 149 countries.The new government that will be formed in Israel
following the April elections provides a golden opportunity for the
prime minister and the other coalition leaders to improve the
representation of women in the cabinet. This should be the next natural
step to the continued increase in the representation of women in the
Knesset. After 70 years of independence, the time has come for Israel’s
governments to strive for true equality and reflect greater gender
balance.
Report: US ordered strike on pro-Assad
port-a-potty-According to Foreign Policy, Air Force blocked coalition
order to destroy the mobile toilet used by a militia near strategic
al-Tanf base-By TOI staff-FEB 7,19
The US-led coalition
against the Islamic State in Syria in 2017 called an airstrike on a
port-a-potty belonging to pro-Assad forces, Foreign Policy reported
Monday.The incident was halted by the air force but could have
potentially led to an escalation with Iranian-backed militias.It
occurred near the American al-Tanf base, located near a strategic border
crossing between Iraq and Syria and seen as essential to Iranian
efforts to establish a land corridor stretching from Iran through Iraq
and Syria to Lebanon, where the Hezbollah terror group is based.US
forces have on several occasions carried out airstrikes on
Iranian-linked forces moving near the garrison, claiming they were
acting to protect their troops there.On May 17, 2017, pro-regime forces
with ties to Iran and/or Hezbollah moved some 21 miles from the base in a
bid to meet up with another Iranian-backed group coming from Iraq,
Foreign Policy said.Coalition forces attacked the convoy, killing one
man and destroying several vehicles. The militia was warned through
Russia that it was not to advance toward the US base or bring in
supplies.The next day, a vehicle carrying a port-a-potty was seen moving
toward the stalled convoy and the coalition ordered an airstrike.
However, US Air Force commanders refused, saying it was not a lawful
order.“We stray from the Constitution when military commanders choose to
use US military force against another state’s force in the absence of a
credible, imminent threat,” a defense official told the magazine.He
called the notion that the portable toilet threatened US forces
“ludicrous.”
EU hails system to trade with Iran despite
sanctions, but warns it over missiles-European nations say they have
‘serious concerns’ over Tehran’s continuous presence in Syria and its
support for non-state actors in Lebanon-By AFP-TOI-7 February 2019
BRUSSELS
— The EU warned Tehran over its ballistic missile program and
interference in the Syria conflict Monday, while welcoming a new
mechanism to trade with Iran while bypassing US sanctions.In a
long-awaited statement on Iran that has been the subject of more than a
week of wrangling in Brussels, the EU restated its commitment to saving
the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and took aim at Washington for
abandoning the pact and reimposing sanctions.The bloc hailed the
creation last week by France, Britain and Germany of a system to allow
firms to trade with Iran without falling foul of US sanctions as vital
to supporting legitimate business and said the “resolve to complete this
work is unwavering.”But with numerous European powers growing
increasingly concerned about Tehran’s missile program, meddling in
several Middle East conflicts and recent attempted attacks on opposition
figures living in the EU, the bloc urged Iran to mend its ways.The
statement criticized Iran’s “provision of military, financial and
political support to non-state actors in countries such as Syria and
Lebanon.”“The (EU) Council has serious concerns regarding Iran’s
military involvement and continuous presence of Iranian forces in
Syria,” the statement said.Iran is a key supporter of Syrian President
Bashar Assad and the statement urged Tehran to use its leverage to get
Damascus behind UN-led efforts to end the civil war, which has claimed
more than 360,000 lives since it began in 2011.While defending the
nuclear deal — which limited Tehran’s atomic ambitions in return for
sanctions relief — Europe has sought to keep up pressure with sanctions,
most recently listing Iranian intelligence services over plots to
assassinate regime opponents on Dutch, Danish and French soil.Continuing
Iranian missile tests have also alarmed the EU — not to mention
countries in the Middle East — and Monday’s statement called on Tehran
to stop such activities.“Iran continues to undertake efforts to increase
the range and precision of its missiles, together with increasing the
number of tests and operational launches. These activities deepen
mistrust and contribute to regional instability,” the statement
said.Brussels hopes the new Iran trading mechanism — registered last
week in Paris under the name INSTEX — will keep Tehran in the nuclear
deal by preserving some of the economic benefits it received.Iran gave
INSTEX a cautious welcome but US officials have dismissed the idea that
the new entity would have any impact on efforts to exert economic
pressure on Tehran.Before INSTEX can go live, Iran has to set up a
similar entity of its own so the two sides can clear trading on a barter
basis without transferring money. It is not clear how long this will
take.
Colorado jogger strangles mountain lion after attack on trail-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Keith Coffman-February 7, 2019
DENVER
(Reuters) - A Colorado jogger strangled a juvenile mountain lion in the
foothills of Horsetooth Mountain northwest of Denver, acting in
self-defense after the predator attacked him, authorities said on
Tuesday.The man, who was not identified, survived the life-and-death
struggle in the Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, a mountain park less
than 70 miles (110 km) from Denver, officials said.The man was running
on a trail when the juvenile cougar attacked him from behind, biting and
clawing his face, back, legs and arms, state and local officials said
in a joint statement late on Monday.During the struggle, the man
strangled the wild animal with his bare hands, Colorado Parks and
Wildlife spokeswoman Rebecca Ferrell said by phone on Tuesday."There was
some wrestling going on and the cat did latch onto his arm but he was
able to choke it," she said.The size of the cougar was unclear, Ferrell
said, because other animals fed on the carcass before wildlife officers
arrived. But it is believed it was a male.The runner went to a hospital,
officials said, with injuries that were serious but not
life-threatening.The remainder of the animal's body was recovered near
the trail, where the jogger had dropped some possessions, and taken to a
Colorado Parks and Wildlife lab for a necropsy, officials said."The
runner did everything he could to save his life," said Mark Leslie, CPW
Northeast Regional Manager. "In the event of a lion attack, you need to
do anything in your power to fight back, just as this gentleman
did."Mountain lion attacks have caused fewer than 20 fatalities in the
United States in the past 100 years. Sixteen known attacks have occurred
in Colorado since 1990, officials said."Mountain lion attacks are not
common in Colorado and it is unfortunate that the lion's hunting
instincts were triggered by the runner," Ty Petersburg, area wildlife
manager for the CPW, said in a statement. "This could have had a very
different outcome."(Reporting by Keith Coffman in Denver, additional

Russia plans new missile systems to counter U.S. by 2021-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Andrew Osborn-February 7, 2019
MOSCOW
(Reuters) - Russia will race to develop two new land-based missile
launch systems before 2021 to respond to Washington's planned exit from a
landmark nuclear arms control pact, it said on Tuesday.President
Vladimir Putin said at the weekend that Russia had suspended the Cold
War-era Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), which bans both
nations from stationing short- and intermediate-range land-based
missiles in Europe.Moscow and Washington accuse each other of violating
the treaty and Putin said Russia had acted after the United States
announced it was withdrawing from the pact.Washington had made clear it
planned to start research, development and design work on new missile
systems and Moscow would do the same, Putin said.The Russian military
should start work on creating land-based launch systems for an existing
ship-launched cruise missile, the Kalibr, and for longer-range
hypersonic missiles which travel at least five times the speed of sound,
he said.Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu on Tuesday ordered work to begin
on developing the new systems.Shoigu, a close Putin ally, said he
wanted the work completed by the end of next year so the new systems
were ready by 2021."From Feb. 2, the United States suspended its
obligations under the INF treaty," Shoigu told a meeting of defense
chiefs."At the same time they are actively working to create a
land-based missile with a range of more than 500 km which is outside the
treaty's limits. President Putin has given the defense ministry the
task of taking symmetrical measures." Moscow denies flouting the 1987
pact. It says Washington is the one violating it and has accused the
United States of inventing a false pretext to exit a treaty it wanted to
leave anyway in order to develop new missiles. Washington denies
that.U.S. disarmament ambassador Robert Wood told a U.N.-sponsored
Conference on Disarmament in Geneva on Tuesday that the United States
would reconsider its withdrawal from the INF treaty "should Russia
return to full and verifiable compliance.""This is Russia's final
opportunity to return to compliance," Wood said.(Additional reporting by

UN experts: North Korea nukes intact, dispersing missiles-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-February 7, 2019
UNITED
NATIONS (AP) — U.N. experts say North Korea's nuclear and ballistic
missile programs "remain intact" and it is dispersing its missile
assembly and testing to prevent "decapitation" strikes.The experts'
report to the U.N. Security Council, seen Tuesday by The Associated
Press, says North Korea also continues to defy U.N. sanctions, including
through "a massive increase" in illegal ship-to-ship transfers of
petroleum products and coal.The experts said it's also violating an arms
embargo, a ban on luxury goods and financial sanctions. They said they
investigated "cyberattacks against multiple member states to evade
financial sanctions."The report was sent to council members as U.S.
President Donald Trump is preparing for a second summit with North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un, aimed at pursing the goal of a nuclear-free
Korean Peninsula.
In uncertain post-INF world, Russia may opt for talks over arms-[Christian Science Monitor]-YAHOONEWS-Fred Weir-FEB 7,19
During
the long decades of the old cold war, the USSR tried assiduously to
create an appearance of equality with its main global rival, the United
States.Soviet leaders succeeded in only one single – but very durable –
respect before their country’s superpower status folded: creating parity
in world-destroying nuclear weapons. That forced US leaders to
negotiate arms control deals aimed at managing the danger on an equal
footing with their Soviet counterparts – a system that helped to keep
the atomic peace in the three decades since the USSR ceased to
exist.With President Trump’s notice of withdrawal from the 1987 treaty
abolishing intermediate-range ground-based nuclear missiles, known as
INF, everyone agrees that paradigm is breaking down. Over the weekend,
Vladimir Putin announced that Russia is suspending the accord as
well.Though there is supposed to be a six-month pause in which the two
sides might settle their mutual accusations of treaty violations, few
believe that is anything more than a formality. Indeed, both sides are
already talking about surging into this new era with formerly forbidden
weapons systems, taking advantage of changed strategic realities and
fresh diplomatic opportunities.“We have seen this coming for a long
time, ever since the US unilaterally pulled out” of the 1972
Antiballistic Missile (ABM) treaty in 2001, says Sergei Karaganov, a
senior Russian foreign policy hand. “This special bilateral relationship
we had with the US was based on artificial notions, like parity. And it
seems clear to us that the Americans decided to dismantle the arms
control system quite a long time ago. We realized that we would need to
develop new weapons to overcome anti-missile defenses, and get used to a
new reality.“Still, pulling out of the INF treaty like this is a blow,”
he says. “There is no way now to resurrect the old arms control
framework. Too much has changed. We will have to find our own ways to
adapt to and counter this, without matching everything the US does.
Russia is really not eager to engage in a new arms race.”-‘NO RESTRAINTS
IN PLACE WHATSOEVER’-Only one significant arms control agreement
between the US and Russia remains in place. It is the New START accord,
signed almost a decade ago amid the warm hopes of the Obama-era “reset”
of relations with Russia. It limited the capacities of the “strategic”
nuclear arsenals of both sides, meaning the intercontinental weapons
with which the US and Russia could destroy each other many times over.
But that agreement expires within three years, and so far there are no
significant talks going on to extend it.“Very soon we will be in a
situation the world has not known since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962
convinced leaders of the US and the USSR that they needed to limit
these destructive nuclear arsenals,” says Alexander Golts, an
independent security expert. “Indeed, it is already clear that if we
reject the INF treaty, New START won’t work anyway. If the two sides can
proliferate the number of intermediate-range missiles without
limitations, then what good are controls on long-range strategic
ones?”Known as “the treaty that ended the cold war,” the INF deal has
been controversial from its very beginnings. Political and military
hawks on both sides have never liked it. It was sealed amid a sunburst
of goodwill in 1987, as President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev embraced a new era of peace and openness, which soon
led to the collapse of the Iron Curtain.But it also had enormous
practical effect, especially for Europe. Hundreds of Soviet SS-20 and US
Pershing II nuclear-tipped, medium-range missiles faced each other on
the European continent, threatening nuclear holocaust on a hair trigger.
The treaty essentially abolished that entire class of missiles, those
with ranges between 310 and 3,400 miles, removing at a stroke the most
dangerous and potentially unstable dimension of US-Soviet nuclear
rivalry.“If the two sides once again station this type of missile in
Europe, then Berlin, Paris, and London will once again be under a
six-minute warning,” says Mr. Golts. “It will be the same for Moscow and
St. Petersburg. Six minutes is not enough time to make political
decisions, to verify that an attack is really under way. With
intercontinental missiles, you have about 30 minutes of warning time,
which gives political leaders a chance to check and make decisions. But
this time it will be worse than the 1980s, because then we had a whole
structure of arms control like the SALT treaties and ABM, with constant
consultations and verification procedures. Now there will be no
restraints in place whatsoever.”A DIFFERENT NUCLEAR CONTEXT-The Kremlin
has been worrying out loud for some time about what it views as US
flirting with notions of “winnable” nuclear war. Amid the current
atmosphere of political mistrust and shrinking warning times, Russian
strategic posture may change, he says.“Now Russian doctrine is based on
the principle of ‘launch on alert,’ which means that Russia retaliates
only when its early warning systems confirm that American missiles are
in flight. But if the warning time shrinks to six minutes, in the worst
case scenario, they might go to ‘preemptive strike,’ which would be an
extremely unstable situation,” Golts says.Other Russian experts doubt
the US would try to station midrange nuclear missiles in Europe again.
Indeed, the main US concern is that a host of other countries, such as
China, India, Iran, and Pakistan, have developed this class of missiles
in recent decades without any treaty restraints, and it wants to have
its hands free to counter them in theaters like the Persian Gulf and
East Asia.“The Americans want to deploy a wider range of weapons to
counter new rivals like China, which didn’t figure during the cold war,”
says Mr. Karaganov.“We note that most Europeans are siding with the US
in its accusations against Russia about violating the INF treaty and are
putting the onus on Russia to fix it. We disagree with that,” he adds.
“We think the US is driving this effort to tear up existing agreements
and obligations, and they would be doing that regardless of whatever we
were doing. But everyone also remembers how scary and divisive these
midrange missiles were in Europe in the 1980s. It would be politically
very expensive for the US to try and station such weapons in Europe once
again.”Still, the widespread perception that the Trump administration
is behaving irresponsibly by precipitously pulling out of the INF treaty
can alter political realities. Russian diplomacy will almost certainly
offer Europeans a separate deal, in which Russia refrains from
stationing new midrange missiles on the continent in exchange for a ban
on similar US missiles in Europe.That would drive a wedge into NATO.
Experts say Russia would be delighted to do that, but no one believes it
can happen in the present circumstances.“Basically, we have destroyed
the old framework of arms control without having anything to replace it
with,” says Andrey Kortunov, director of the Foreign Ministry-linked
Russian International Affairs Council. “It’s my hope that big powers
will realize that they need arms control, perhaps in a multilateral
rather than the old bilateral form, but something that will roll back
the most destabilizing weapons and build trust. Until then, we just have
to go through this dead zone. We are headed for completely uncharted
waters.”

right-wing appeal against Breaking the Silence-Activist group Ad Kan had
asked to investigate the anti-occupation NGO on espionage suspicions
since 2016, but state investigators found no evidence of wrongdoing-By
TOI staff-FEB 7,19
Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit
put to bed on Monday the final appeal by right-wing groups demanding
that the left-wing anti-occupation group Breaking the Silence be
investigated for treason.In a letter to an attorney for the right-wing
advocacy organization Ad Kan, Mandelblit’s office said the attorney
general found “no cause” to second-guess the State Attorney’s Office’s
announcement in 2017 that there was no evidence of criminal wrongdoing
on the part of Breaking of Silence.Breaking the Silence has drawn a
great deal of criticism among mainstream Israelis in recent years for
collecting and publicizing mostly anonymous testimony of alleged IDF
mistreatment of Palestinians.The latest legal saga began in 2016, when
right-wing NGOs sent former soldiers with hidden cameras to meet with
Breaking the Silence and offer inaccurate testimony, attempting to
demonstrate that the organization’s methods for collecting its
information was skewed by its self-acknowledged left-wing politics.
Breaking the Silence said none of the attempts were successful.The
footage aired in a news report on what was then Channel 2 news (now
Channel 12).It showed the organization’s personnel asking detailed
operational questions of the IDF veterans that Channel 2 insisted had no
relevance to the question of possible war crimes.The report drew anger
from right-wing politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
and then-defense minister Moshe Ya’alon, who said the group appeared to
be collecting secret operational information from the ex-soldiers.On
June 13, 2016, Ad Kan appealed to the attorney general’s office, urging
that the organization be investigated for possible violation of Israel’s
espionage and treason laws.The appeal led to the opening of an
eight-month inquiry by the criminal division of the State Attorney’s
Office. It concluded that there was “no evidence whatsoever that the
Breaking the Silence organization, or any of its activists, gave
classified information to parties outside of Israel,” according to a
letter to Ad Kan from Rachel Matar, head of the criminal division, dated
February 22, 2017.Matar said the questions about operational details
were “curious,” but said the organization had explained that they were
part of its process for verifying soldiers’ testimony.She also rejected
the claim that the organization had succeeded in “planting” its
activists in the ranks of the army’s Civil Administration, noting “there
is no supporting evidence that the organization is capable of
influencing the placement” of soldiers in a way that might allow it to
implement such an infiltration.The decision was backed by State Attorney
Shai Nitzan, Matar said.Ad Kan appealed the decision a month later, on
March 30, 2017.It was only on Monday that the office of Attorney General
Mandelblit, Nitzan’s direct boss, delivered his ruling on the appeal.In
Monday’s letter, Mandelblit’s office said he had gone beyond the work
of the 2017 investigation and consulted “the opinions of national
security officials.” All the information available to him led him to
concur with the original decision, according to which there was no
evidence of a crime in Breaking the Silence’s behavior.Breaking the
Silence head Avner Gvaryahu welcomed the decision and lambasted the
“settler organizations” that had “lied to the media, the prosecution,
the public, to all of us.”“After three years, the truth has come out and
the right’s campaign of incitement has collapsed,” he said
Tuesday.“Those trying to paint soldiers who break their silence as
traitors, spies and foreign agents failed once again. It’s time they
understand — the reality of the occupation is stronger than any campaign
of falsehoods by right-wing organizations.”Ad Kan did not immediately
respond publicly to Mandelblit’s letter.
US officials fear
IS fighters are lying low, not defeated-Ahead of Trump’s expected
declaration of victory at State of the Union address, defense sources
warn the conflict may be far from over-By Agencies-TOI-FEB 7,19
US
President Donald Trump is expected to declare near-total triumph over
the Islamic State group in Syria in his State of the Union address, but
defense officials are increasingly fearful that the jihadists are simply
biding their time until the Americans leave the battlefield as
planned.IS jihadists have lost territory since Trump’s surprise
announcement in December that he was pulling US forces out, but military
officials warn the fighters could regroup within six months to a year
after the Americans leave.A Defense Department watchdog report released
Monday warned of just such a possibility.The Islamic State group
“remains a potent force of battle-hardened and well-disciplined fighters
that ‘could likely resurge in Syria’ absent continued counterterrorism
pressure,” the report from the inspector general said.Trump’s decision
to leave Syria, which he initially said would be rapid but later slowed
down, shocked US allies and led to the resignations of Defense Secretary
Jim Mattis and the top envoy to the anti-IS coalition, Brett McGurk.The
withdrawal will fulfill Trump’s goal of bringing troops home from
Syria, but military leaders have pushed back for months, arguing that IS
remains a threat and could regroup. US policy has been to keep troops
in place until the jihadists are eradicated.Fears that IS fighters are
making strategic maneuvers ahead of a US pullout could also fuel
criticism that Trump is telegraphing his military plans — the same thing
he accused president Barack Obama of doing in Afghanistan.US officials
in recent weeks have said IS has lost 99.5 percent of its territory and
is holding on to fewer than 10 square kilometers of turf in Syria — an
area smaller than New York’s Central Park. In late November and December
that figure had been estimated at between 400 and 600 square
kilometers, according to officials briefed on the matter.But several
defense officials said Monday that many fighters fled to ungoverned
spaces and other pockets in the north and in the west and are likely
hiding out until they can regroup.Trump said in a weekend interview that
the caliphate is “almost knocked out.”“We’re at 99 percent right now,
we’ll be at 100,” he said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”US officials say
that IS fighters hold only several villages in the Middle Euphrates
River Valley that amount to significantly less than 10 square
kilometers. But, they say they don’t expect that area to be cleared of
militants for another several weeks, at best.Officials say that overall,
there are about 2,000 IS militants in Syria.The Defense Department
watchdog report warned that even with the IS forces on the run, the
group “is still able to coordinate offensives and counter-offensives, as
well as operate as a decentralized insurgency.”The report, which covers
October through December 2018, also includes a classified section that
was provided to Congress and includes a more detailed Pentagon
assessment on the impact of the troops withdrawal and the status of IS
militants and other foreign fighters in Syria.According to the report,
US Central Command believes that IS fighters will continue to conduct
“opportunistic attacks” on US troops as they withdraw. And it says, “If
Sunni socio-economic, political, and sectarian grievances are not
adequately addressed by the national and local governments of Iraq and
Syria it is very likely that ISIS will have the opportunity to set
conditions for future resurgence and territorial control.”Central
Command said that the Islamic State group is “regenerating key functions
and capabilities more quickly in Iraq than in Syria,” but unless there
is sustained counterterrorism pressure, IS militants “could likely
resurge in Syria within six to twelve months and regain limited
territory” in the Middle Euphrates River Valley.Despite Trump’s order to
withdraw, American officials maintain that the goal remains the
“enduring defeat” of the Islamic State group and are moving ahead with a
long-planned meeting of top diplomats from the 79-member US-led anti-IS
coalition this week. The aim of the conference is to recommit the
coalition to that aim and ensure that the departure of US troops does
not overly complicate that mission.Trump himself is expected to speak to
the gathered foreign ministers at the State Department-hosted
conference on Wednesday is widely expected to reiterate and expand on
his anti-IS message from the State of the Union, officials said.
In
Yemen’s chaos, jihadists and Iran are getting hold of US
weapons-Pentagon investigating apparent Saudi, UAE violations of
commitments not to transfer American arms to Yemeni factions-By TOI
staff-FEB 7,19
The Pentagon has launched an investigation
into alleged Saudi transfers of US military hardware, from rifles to
armored vehicles and tanks, to the hands of Islamist radical groups in
Yemen.Some of the hardware, which was transferred in contravention of
legally binding commitments to obtain US permission before doing so, has
even ended up in the hands of Iran-allied Houthi militias, opening up
the possibility that Iran could study sensitive American military
technology and ultimately endanger US forces elsewhere in the region.The
revelation came in an exclusive report Monday by CNN, which sent
undercover reporters into Yemeni towns to find the weapons.In one
weapons shop in Taiz, a city in the country’s southwest, a dealer
confirmed to CNN that he had US weapons, saying they’re “expensive and
sought after.”The “not-so-hidden black market” is helping to drive “the
demand for hi-tech American weapons and perpetuating the cycle of
violence in Yemen,” the report said.Some of the weapons systems have
made their way to the Yemeni affiliate of al-Qaeda, known as al-Qaeda in
the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which has fought in the Taiz area and
once paraded US-made Oshkosh armored vehicles through the city’s
streets. Today the group, labeled a terror organization by the US,
fights as part of the Saudi-backed Yemeni army.Other systems, such as
the MRAP, or Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected, armored vehicles, were
found in the port city of Hodeida in the hands of a radical Salafist
group known as the Giants Brigade.The vehicles were built by Navistar
and sold in 2014 to Abu Dhabi, where they were incorporated into the
United Arab Emirates armed forces, which transferred them to factions in
the Yemeni war, according to the report.Reached by CNN, an unnamed
senior UAE official denied “in no uncertain terms that we are in
violation of end-user agreements in any manner.”He insisted the Giants
Brigade was “part of Yemeni forces,” and its possession of the MRAP
vehicles amounted to “collective possession” of the UAE-backed
coalition.But Pentagon spokesman Johnny Michael told CNN “the United
States has not authorized the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or the United Arab
Emirates to re-transfer any equipment to parties inside Yemen.”He
added: “The US government cannot comment on any pending investigations
of claims of end-use violations of defense articles and services
transferred to our allies and partners.”MRAPs are a vital part of the US
military’s efforts to protect American soldiers from roadside bombs,
also known as improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which are responsible
for most combat deaths each year.“It is critical that knowledge of MRAP
vulnerabilities does not fall into enemy hands,” CNN said, adding,
“it’s already too late.”“In September 2017, a Houthi-run TV channel
broadcast images of Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the de facto rebel leader,
proudly sitting behind the wheel of a captured US-made MRAP in the
capital Sanaa, as a crowd chanted ‘death to America’ in the background,”
the network reported.It claimed to have evidence of at least one more
MRAP falling into Houthi — and thus Iranian — hands last year.A Houthi
intelligence official in Sanaa who spoke to CNN on condition of
anonymity said Iranian and Hezbollah officials had already taken
possession of the US-made vehicles, as well as other weapons systems,
and “are assessing US military technology very closely.”He insisted
“there isn’t a single American weapon that they don’t try to find out
its details, what it’s made of, how it works.”
Israel
arrests mother of Givat Assaf, Ofra terrorists-Troops detain Suheir
Barghouti in West Bank village of Kobar, along with several other
members of the family-By TOI staff-FEB 7,19
The Israeli
army on Monday night arrested the mother of two Palestinian brothers
suspected of carrying out a pair of terror attacks within a few days in
December, according to numerous Palestinian media reports.The reports
said troops arrested Suheir Barghouti in Kobar, near Ramallah, as part
of operations overnight, along with several other members of the
Barghouti family. They said 25 Palestinians were arrested throughout the
West Bank overnight.The Shin Bet security service confirmed Suheir’s
arrest to The Times of Israel, saying she was suspected of failing to
prevent a crime.On Monday the army announced its intention to demolish
the homes of Salih and Asem Barghouti.The two are believed to have
conducted a December 9 terrorist attack outside the Ofra settlement, in
which seven Israelis were injured, among them a seven-months pregnant
woman, who was seriously wounded. The woman’s baby was delivered in an
emergency operation, but died days later.Salih Barghouti was shot dead
three days later in his hometown of Kobar as he attacked Israeli
security forces in an attempt to evade arrest, the army said. A day
after that, Asem Barghouti opened fire at a bus stop outside the Givat
Assaf outpost near Ramallah, killing two soldiers stationed there and
seriously injuring a third serviceman and a civilian woman, according to
the IDF.Asem Barghouti, who fled the scene after the shooting, was
arrested in the home of an alleged accomplice in the nearby village of
Abu Shukheidim on January 8.On January 20, the military notified the
family of Asem Barghouti of its plans to destroy his home in Kobar. The
family appealed the decision to the High Court of Justice, but the
judges upheld the IDF’s plan to demolish the house.On Monday, the head
of the Central Command, Maj. Gen. Nadav Padan, who has authority over
the West Bank, signed the official demolition order for the home.In
addition, the IDF on Monday said it informed the Barghouti family of its
intention to demolish the apartment where Asem’s late brother Salih
lived.The family was given three days to appeal the decision.When
Israeli security forces arrested Asem Barghouti in January, the Shin Bet
said he had been “busy preparing to carry out additional terror
attacks.”Since the terror attacks, Israeli troops have arrested and
questioned dozens of family members and associates of the Barghouti
brothers.The Barghouti family has an extensive history in the Hamas
terror group. Asem was set free from an Israeli prison in April 2017
after serving an 11-year sentence.Jasser Barghouti, Asem and Salih’s
uncle, is a convicted terrorist released as part of the 2011 swap that
freed abducted IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. He currently resides in the
Gaza Strip.Omar Barghouti, Asem and Salih’s father, and Nael Barghouti,
another uncle, were convicted for participating in the killing of an
Israeli soldier in 1978.Judah Ari Gross contributed to this report.

dead, 28 injured in Paris apartment fire-Some two-dozen rescued by
firefighters as residents flee to roof, climb out windows in upscale
neighborhood; cause of blaze as yet unknown-By AP-TOI-FEB 7,19
PARIS
— A fire in a Paris apartment building early Tuesday killed seven
people and sent residents fleeing to the roof or climbing out their
windows to escape, authorities said. The cause of the blaze that injured
28 people is unclear.Firefighters were still searching for other
victims and working to extinguish the blaze, according to spokesman
Clement Cognon of the city fire service.He told The Associated Press
that the fire broke out early Tuesday in the eight-story apartment
building on Rue Erlanger in the 16th arrondissement, or district.“The
situation was already dramatic when the firefighters arrived,” Cognon
said. Firefighters rescued about two dozen people who had fled to the
roof or climbed out windows to escape the flames, and evacuated others
from inside.The building is about one kilometer (less than a mile) from
the Roland Garros stadium that hosts the French Open tennis tournament,
and close to the popular Bois de Boulogne park on the city’s western
edge. The 16th arrondissement is one of the most high-end and calmest
districts of Paris.More than 200 firefighters and emergency workers are
on the scene, Paris police said, and the street is blocked off. People
in neighboring buildings were also evacuated.The fire comes a month
after a deadly explosion and blaze linked to a gas leak in a Paris
bakery.
