Brazil’s Bolsonaro hesitates over proposed Jerusalem embassy move-Asked about Egypt postponing a visit by Brazil’s foreign minister, the president-elect says its ‘something that hasn’t yet been decided’-By AFP-NOV 8,18
BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazil’s president-elect Jair Bolsonaro suggested Tuesday he was prepared to make a swift U-turn over plans to move the country’s Israel embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.Last week, Bolsonaro reiterated a campaign pledge to follow the lead of US President Donald Trump by switching the embassy from Israel’s economic and technological hub to its capital.But on Tuesday, he reeled in his plans claiming “it hasn’t yet been decided.”The far-right politician was responding to a question from reporters about Egypt postponing a scheduled visit from Brazil’s Foreign Minister Aloysio Nunes.“From what I know, it’s due to a calendar problem,” Bolsonaro said during his first visit to the capital Brasilia since winning the October 28 election runoff against leftist opponent Fernando Haddad. He is due to take office on January 1.“It would be premature for a country to take retaliatory measures against something that hasn’t yet been decided.”Bolsonaro’s announcement of the embassy move on Thursday provoked ire in the Arab world, with a senior Palestinian official branding the move “provocative and illegal,” while a spokesman for the Hamas terror group, which controls the Gaza Strip, called it “hostile.”Bolsonaro tried to downplay the importance of his own plans, claiming “it’s not a question of honor” but that “those who decide where the capital of Israel is, are the people, the state of Israel.”Such a move could prove risky for Brazil, though, as it is a major exporter of hallal meat to the Arab world.Jerusalem’s status is hotly disputed. Israel captured the eastern portion of the city, then under Jordanian control, at the end of the Six-Day War in 1967, which pitted it against Egypt, Syria and Jordan.It later annexed that part of the city in the reunification of Jerusalem, a move that has not been internationally recognized.The Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as a the capital of a future state.After Trump’s embassy move announcement in December, Guatemala and Paraguay followed suit, although the latter then changed its mind.
Closed bank, mothballed planes: Iran mocks US sanctions list-Trump reimposed biting sanctions Monday, six months after pulling the US out of the Iran nuclear deal-By Nasser Karimi and Jon Gambrell-TOI-NOV 8,18
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The “largest-ever” US sanctions list targeting Iran drew mockery from Iranian officials on Tuesday for including mothballed Boeing 747s, a bank that closed years earlier and a sunken oil tanker that exploded off China months ago.However, the new list of sanctions, which also aims to cut Iran’s vital oil industry off from international sales, also included for the first time its state airline and its atomic energy commission, further highlighting the maximalist approach of President Donald Trump’s administration.Trump pulled America out of the 2015 nuclear deal Iran struck with world powers in May. United Nations monitors say Iran still abides by the deal, in which it agreed to limit its uranium enrichment in return for the lifting of international sanctions.The US Treasury Department imposed penalties on more than 700 Iranian and Iranian-linked individuals, entities, aircraft and vessels in the new sanctions. Among those are 50 Iranian banks and subsidiaries, and more than 200 people and ships.However, scattered among the list are surprising entries, like the crude oil tanker Sanchi. That vessel collided with a bulk freighter and caught fire off China’s east coast in January, killing all 32 sailors aboard.Another entry was Iran’s Tat Bank, which closed in 2012.Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif took to Twitter to mock some of the targets of the sanctions, describing it as a “desperate” psychological ploy.“The US designated a bank that was closed 6 years ago, and a ship that sank . in a widely televised saga,” he wrote, ending the tweet with “#USisIsolated.”In a desperate PSYOP to amplify the list of sanctioned Iranian entities—unintentionally also proving it is #TargetingOrdinaryIranians indiscriminately—the U.S. designated a bank that was closed 6 years ago, and a ship that sank last year in a widely televised saga. #USisIsolated— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) November 5, 2018-But for the first time, the United States targeted Iran Air. It also sanctioned the state carrier’s mothballed fleet of Boeing 747s, which were manufactured in the 1970s.It also appeared that the US, in another first, was directly sanctioning the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, the government agency that oversees Iran’s nuclear program. Prior sanctions targeted specific subsidiaries of the organization.Eshaq Jahangiri, President Hassan Rouhani’s senior vice president, also criticized the sanctions.“Americans think their list is more effective if it is longer,” Jahangiri said, according to the state-run IRNA news agency. He said he had discussed the list with other officials, with many saying it was “less than what we expected.”Still, Jahangiri warned that “Americans intend to damage economy of the country” through psychological warfare.Zarif later issued an online video criticizing America’s “indiscriminate assault” on his country.“The US administration appears to believe that imposing illegal draconian sanctions on Iran will bring about such pain to our nation that it will force us to submit to its will, no matter how absurd, unlawful or fundamentally flawed its demands are.”Zarif urged America to re-examine its “catastrophes” in the Mideast, including its support for Saudi Arabia and Israel.Iran is already in the grip of an economic crisis. Its national currency, the rial, now trades at 150,000 to one US dollar; a year ago, it was about 40,500. The economic chaos sparked mass anti-government protests at the end of last year, resulting in nearly 5,000 reported arrests and at least 25 people being killed.Sporadic smaller demonstrations still reportedly erupt from time to time.The new sanctions particularly hurt Iran’s vital oil industry, which provides a crucial source of hard currency. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the sanctions already had cost Iran the sale of over 1 million barrels of crude oil a day.Analysts feared in the run-up to the sanctions that global oil prices could spike on tight supply and increasing demand. However, the Trump administration allowed some of its allies — Greece, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Turkey — as well as rival China to continue to purchase Iranian oil as long as they work to reduce imports to zero. The price of benchmark Brent crude has dropped from over $80 a barrel in recent days.During a visit to Madrid on Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the US decision to re-impose sanctions on Iran was “not legitimate” and that the rest of the parties to the 2015 nuclear deal abandoned by Washington are working to make economic cooperation with Tehran possible.Lavrov’s remarks were Russia’s first reaction to Washington’s new list of sanctions against Iran. The Russian diplomat said the sanctions go against international law and practices, and that the US “policies of issuing an ultimatum and making unilateral moves are unacceptable these days.”
Snowden warns Israelis of dangers in accepting too much government surveillance-Speaking via video link from Moscow, US whistleblower tells Israelis not to accept excuse that its needed for security, also cautions against firms selling spyware-By AFP-TOI-NOV 8,18
US whistleblower Edward Snowden urged Israelis to be on guard against heavy-handed government and private surveillance in a speech by video link Tuesday and defended his 2013 massive leak of classified documents.Snowden highlighted Israel’s high-tech capabilities, but warned that accepting too much government surveillance and too easily acceding to the argument that it is needed for security reasons posed serious risks.“If we can allow ourselves to be terrorized by someone with nothing but a knife, to reorder our societies for the convenience of state power … we’ve stopped being citizens and we’ve started being subjects,” said Snowden, who spoke from an undisclosed location in Moscow.The 35-year-old also spoke of the NSO Group, the Israel-based company known for its Pegasus spyware.The software has been pinpointed by independent experts as likely being used in a number of countries with poor human rights records.“The idea is that companies like this increasingly are popping up all around the world,” Snowden said.In one case, international experts investigating the disappearance of 43 students in Mexico in 2014 were targeted with the spyware after it had been sold to the government, the experts said.NSO Group says its product is intended to be used only for investigating and preventing crime and terrorism.It says it investigates allegations of improper use.Snowden, a former contractor with the US National Security Agency, leaked thousands of classified documents to the press in 2013 which revealed the vast scope of surveillance of private data put in place after the 9/11 attacks.He has lived in exile ever since.The United States has charged him with espionage and theft of state secrets, but Snowden said he still loves his country and hopes to return home.Snowden spoke to an invited audience in Tel Aviv at an event organized by an Israeli public relations agency.
Japan approves extension for reactor similar to Fukushima units that melted down-[Reuters]-By Aaron Sheldrick and Osamu Tsukimori-YAHOONEWS-November 7, 2018
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's nuclear regulator approved an extension of operations for a 40-year-old reactor near Tokyo that has the same basic design as those that melted down in the Fukushima crisis nearly eight years ago, a move that is likely to be controversial.The reactor, Tokai Daini, is the first boiling water reactor (BWR) to be approved for a lifetime extension of 20 years. The approval will be a boost for operator, Japan Atomic Power Co, which is owned by the country's main utilities and is bleeding cash because of the shutdown of its two nuclear power units.Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority approved the extension at a meeting of its commissioners on Wednesday, it said.Japan Atomic must complete safety upgrades, and a company spokesman told Reuters the nuclear operator will build a tsunami protection wall to fortify Tokai Daini. A restart of the plant is not expected till the 2020s.Japan Atomic will also need the approval of local and prefectural authorities before it can resume operations.Tokai Daini was operating when a massive earthquake struck off the northeast coast of Japan on March 11, 2011, creating a tsunami that swamped Tokyo Electric Power's Fukushima Daichi plant to the north, causing explosions and meltdowns at three reactors.The Tokai Daini plant sustained damage, but shut down automatically, according to Japan Atomic.While the extension will be a further boost for Japan's resurgent nuclear industry, the sector will still miss a government target of providing at least a fifth of the country's electricity by 2030, an analysis by Reuters showed last week.Nuclear power remains an unpopular energy option in Japan and the country will reboot only a fraction of the 54 reactors it had before the 2011 disaster.Six reactors at Fukushima Daiichi are being dismantled in a decades-long exercise that is fraught with technological challenges and hampered by radioactive waste. Operators have also decided to decommission a further 10 units across the country since Fukushima.Nine reactors have restarted, all of them pressurized water reactors located far from Tokyo, while the stigma of Fukushima still hangs over use of the older BWR technology.(Reporting by Aaron Sheldrick and Osamu Tsukimori; Editing by Tom Hogue)
Rebel' Prince Charles could put monarchy at risk, author says-[Reuters]-By Michael Holden-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2018
LONDON (Reuters) - Prince Charles, the "rebel" heir to the British throne, will face a battle to win over Britons and could even put the monarchy at risk if he does not temper his strong views when he eventually becomes king, a royal biographer says.Charles, who turns 70 next week, will be the oldest monarch to be crowned when he finally succeeds his 92-year-old mother Queen Elizabeth.Tom Bower, whose unauthorized "Rebel Prince" biography of Charles was published earlier this year, said the prince was intelligent, kind and sensitive but also selfish, ungrateful, and a lover of luxury whose stubborn streak could risk the institution itself."I think Charles will try his hardest to be a good king," Bower, who describes himself as a committed monarchist, told Reuters. "The question will be how he behaves, whether he abandons a lot of the qualities that were shown in the preceding 20, 30 years."I do believe the queen and (her husband) Prince Philip have been thankful to live so long to prevent their son being the monarch because he would have jeopardized it."Such critical portraits of the prince are not new. Since the public breakdown of his marriage to Princess Diana in the 1990s, his lifestyle and views on issues such as climate change, religion, alternative medicine and architecture have often had unfavorable treatment."As a teenager, I remember feeling deeply about this appallingly excessive demolition job being done on every aspect of life," Charles said in a written response to Vanity Fair magazine for an interview published this month."In putting my head above the parapet on all these issues, and trying to remind people of their long-term, timeless relevance to our human experience - never mind trying to do something about them - I found myself in conflict with the conventional outlook which, as I discovered, is not exactly the most pleasant situation to find yourself."Bower, whose biography was based on interviews with 120 people including some who worked closely for the royals, said the prince was committed to issues like the environment but was someone unable to take criticism."He's very keen to criticize others but cannot tolerate those who challenge him," Bower said."He's a person who is driven, who undoubtedly wants to do good but doesn't understand that the consequences of a lot of his actions cause a lot of trouble and he doesn't like to be told that he might be doing something wrong."Former aides who have worked closely with Charles say many of the stories in Bower's book are simply not true. The prince himself has dismissed a story that he travels with his own toilet seat."I can understand why critics will write ... negatively, but all they're doing is taking a facet of him and making it the most negative possible," one former close aide of many years, who described himself as a big fan of Charles, told Reuters."It's not such a contradiction that people have these polar views of him because somewhere in the middle is the real man."AXES TO GRIND-Supporters of the prince say his detractors are often those with axes to grind airing exaggerated grievances."That reflects on Charles for causing those people to have a grievance," Bower said. "You don't find people speaking with grievances against the queen."While the queen was a unifier, he said: "Charles does the opposite. He divides the nation between those who like him and dislike him, he divides his own court, he creates hostility when he be creating harmony and that's his trait."Bower said Charles had rebelled against his parents, saying the demise of his relationship with Diana and the romance with his second wife Camilla was part of that rebellion."He has a view of the world and he wants to impose his view of that world, so in every way he doesn't want to conform to expectations, so that makes him a rebel," he said."I think that if he's a rebel king, the monarchy will be in danger and I think that is the great problem we face."(Editing by Guy Faulconbridge and Giles Elgood)
Mexican Congress eyes legalizing pot-[AFP]-YAHOONEWS-November 8, 2018
Mexico City (AFP) - President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's future interior minister introduced a bill Tuesday to legalize marijuana in Mexico, a country wracked by violence fueled by its powerful drug cartels.Senator and future interior minister Olga Sanchez Cordero introduced the bill, to "propose a responsible regulation model adapted to Mexico's circumstances," according to the text published on the Senate's website.Sanchez has been given "carte blanche" to explore ways to overhaul drug policy under Lopez Obrador, an anti-establishment leftist who takes office on December 1 after winning Mexico's July elections in a landslide.Lopez Obrador's coalition holds a majority in both houses of Congress, giving the bill a good chance of passing.That would mark a sea change after decades of prohibitionist policy in Mexico, whose shared border with the United States, proximity to leading narcotics producers such as Colombia, and domestic production of marijuana, heroin and other drugs have made it one of the top drug trafficking countries in the world.If the bill passed, Mexico would become just the third country in the world to legalize recreational cannabis use, after Canada and Uruguay.The bill proposes "strict legal regulation" that would regulate and monitor marijuana production, sales and consumption.It would allow users to grow up to 20 plants at a time and produce 480 grams (17 ounces) of the drug per year for personal consumption.The bill comes on the heels of a Supreme Court decision last week that created a legal gray area around marijuana.The court ruled in favor of a private citizen who sued for the right to be able to consume marijuana recreationally. It was its fifth such decision, which under Mexican law sets a legal precedent.However, as things now stand, each individual seeking permission to use the drug will have to file a separate court case. Authorities say they have received 615 requests so far.Desperate to crack down on its brutally violent cartels, Mexico deployed the army to fight drug trafficking in 2006.Since then, the violence has worsened. The country registered a record 28,711 murders last year, and the record is on track to be broken again this year.
Invasion' or 'brother migrants'? Caravans threaten Mexico-U.S. detente-[Reuters]-By Dave Graham-YAHOONEWS-November 8, 2018
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A stream of U.S.-bound Central American migrant caravans risks clouding the rapprochement between Mexico's next leader and U.S. President Donald Trump, who has railed against illegal migration to energize his electoral base.Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a combative leftist who takes office in December, has signaled he hopes to repair bilateral ties damaged by Trump's criticism of Mexico for failing to stop migration and his demands for a border wall.From opposite sides of the political spectrum, he and Trump have so far defied fears they could clash, with both helping to find common ground for a new North American trade deal.But a spate of Central American migrant caravans pushing into Mexico in recent weeks revived tensions in the run-up to U.S. congressional elections on Tuesday. Trump has threatened to close the U.S-Mexico border if the migrants are not stopped."This is one of the potential flashpoints that could end the bromance between Lopez Obrador and Trump," Arturo Sarukhan, a former Mexican ambassador to the United States, told Reuters.Trump's 2016 election win sent relations between the two neighbors to their lowest ebb in years.During the campaign, he repeatedly vowed to make Mexico pay for a border wall to keep out migrants, and accused the country of sending rapists and drug runners north.Tensions over migration spilled over into economic affairs.Trump tried to use border security to extract concessions in the revamp of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which he threatened to scrap before the United States, Mexico and Canada agreed a new deal on Sept. 30.Mexico sends 80 percent of its exports to the United States and the NAFTA renegotiation rattled Mexico's financial markets and disrupted investment.Since a convoy of Hondurans left the city of San Pedro Sula on Oct. 13, several thousand Central Americans have crossed into Mexico. Trump has said he will send troops to the U.S. southern border to stop what he calls an "invasion."Lopez Obrador, by contrast, has been offering to help his "brother migrants" with visas and employment. He wants to persuade Trump to contribute to a plan to promote development in Central America and Mexico's poorer south.However, Sarukhan said Trump would almost certainly continue to campaign divisively on border security and migration as the race for the 2020 U.S. presidential election heats up."It's hard for me to see, given the current dynamics in the United States, how Lopez Obrador is going to either ensure that this doesn't become a flashpoint or convince Trump to spend significant political, diplomatic and financial capital in holistic development in Central America," he said.Angered by the caravans, Trump has threatened to cut aid to Central America - the very opposite of what the region needs, said Hector Vasconcelos, a lawmaker for Lopez Obrador's MORENA party, and head of the Senate foreign relations committee."We need big economic development programs in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador if we really want to reduce migration from those countries," Vasconcelos said.Most of the migrants say they are fleeing gang violence and poverty. But Trump suggested, without providing proof, the caravans could be hiding "Middle Eastern" terrorists.Asked how a Lopez Obrador administration would seek to bridge the differences over migration, incoming foreign minister Marcelo Ebrard told Reuters on Oct. 22 in Canada that, once in office, it hoped to start persuading the United States and others of the benefits of investing in Central America.However, he added: "It's not very easy."SHARP WORDS-Lopez Obrador has adopted a conciliatory tone toward Trump since winning Mexico's July election, stressing his desire for good relations.Privately though, members of his transition team are skeptical whether the goodwill will last as the 2020 U.S. presidential election unfolds.If Trump returns to the rhetoric he deployed against Mexico during his first election campaign, it could encourage the fiercely patriotic Lopez Obrador to hit back.Just weeks after Trump took office in 2017, Lopez Obrador went to the United States to address Mexican-American voters, rounding on the new U.S. president in a speech in Los Angeles."These astute but irresponsible neo-fascist rulers want to build walls to turn the United States into an enormous ghetto, and put Mexicans in general, and our migrant compatriots in particular, on the same level as the Jews stigmatized and unjustly persecuted in the age of Hitler," Lopez Obrador said.(Reporting by Dave Graham; Additional reporting by David Ljunggren in Ottawa; Editing by Daniel Flynn and Rosalba O'Brien)
Italy working to help Pakistani Christian in blasphemy case-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 8, 2018
ROME (AP) — Italy said Tuesday that it is working to help relocate the family of a Pakistani Christian woman acquitted eight years after being sentenced to death for blasphemy, amid warnings from her husband that the family's life is in danger in Pakistan.The Foreign Ministry said it was coordinating with other countries to ensure safety for Asia Bibi and her family. In a statement, the ministry said it was ready to act on whatever the Italian government might decide — an indication that an offer of asylum might be in the offing.Also Tuesday, a lawmaker in German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative party called for Germany to grant Bibi refuge, after her husband Ashiq Masih appealed for help from the West to relocate the family.Bibi was convicted in 2010 of insulting Islam's prophet, but Pakistan's top court acquitted her last week. Protests by hardline Islamists prompted the government to impose a travel ban on Bibi until her case is reviewed.Bibi's case has been closely followed in Italy for years, and Pope Francis met earlier this year with her family in a show of solidarity.Even Italy's hardline, anti-migrant interior minister Matteo Salvini stressed that he would do "all that is humanly possible" to ensure Bibi and her family are safe, either in Italy or some other country.Salvini distinguished between Bibi and the tens of thousands of migrants who try to seek out a better life in Italy via smugglers' boats from Libya.

Terror victim Ari Fuld posthumously awarded medal for shooting his stabber-Border guards killed by Jordanian Arab Legion in 1954 also awarded police commendation as new information emerges about their actions-By Judah Ari Gross-TOI-NOV 8,18
The Israel Police awarded a medal of honor on Tuesday to Ari Fuld, an Israeli-American who chased after and shot at the terrorist who had moments before stabbed and fatally wounded him outside a supermarket in the central West Bank two months ago.Fuld was posthumously awarded the Medal of Distinction — the third highest award that can be granted by the Israel Police.A resident of the Efrat settlement and father of four, Fuld was one of 54 people — police officers and civilians — to receive an official commendation on Tuesday night, at an event attended by Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, outgoing Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich and President Reuven Rivlin.On September 16, Fuld was standing outside a market near the Gush Etzion Junction in the central West Bank when 17-year-old Khalil Jabarin stabbed him in the back and neck multiple times.“Ari — may his memory be blessed — turned around, faced the terrorist, saw the knife covered in his own blood and screamed: ‘Terrorist! Terrorist!'” the police said in a statement.“He pushed the terrorist back and fought with him. When the terrorist fled, despite his critical injuries, Ari chased after the terrorist with the last of his strength and managed to shoot him with his handgun before collapsing to the ground,” according to the police.In the description of the attack, the police credit Fuld with preventing additional casualties by shooting Jabarin, who had run toward an employee of the shopping center.“I am proud of these wonderful and incredible people: border guards Israel Police officers and resourceful civilians, including Ari Fuld — may God avenge his death — who fought with a despicable terrorist until his last breath. Unfortunately it is in these extraordinary incidents that we learn the most about [Fuld],” Erdan said at the award ceremony.The public security minister had last month called for the police to consider granting Fuld the award for his actions in the terror attack.Security camera footage of the shopping center shows Fuld, after having been stabbed and with blood pouring down his back, chasing and shooting at Jabarin. He then collapsed to the ground.Fuld was rushed to a Jerusalem hospital, but was declared dead shortly after. Jabarin was taken to the hospital in moderate condition and arrested.“Ari Fuld demonstrated supreme heroism and fearlessness when in his final moments he chased after the terrorist who had fatally stabbed him, neutralized him and in so doing saved the lives of other civilians,” Erdan wrote in his recommendation to Alsheich last month.Erdan, who is also the strategic affairs minister, said that Fuld had also dedicated his life to defending Israel by combating the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.“In addition to his actions in the battlefield, Ari also fought for the State of Israel in the international arena and was part of a network of information activists we established to show the world the truth about Israel and to expose the lies of those who boycott Israel,” Erdan wrote. “Ari is an example and a model to us all and we should commend him for it.”Fuld was a well-known Israel advocate and right-wing activist. His killing pierced the community of pro-Israel advocacy, and activists recalled him as a dogged supporter of the Jewish state.After the attack, falafel shop worker Hila Peretz said she saw Jabarin fatally stab Fuld outside the shop a few minutes after she served the Palestinian teenager. Jabarin then began to run toward her with the knife drawn. She ran for her life, shouting “terrorist,” she said.“The terrorist was right behind me,” she recalled. “I started running down the stairs but he jumped to try to get in front of me. The man who was killed really saved my life.”She added of Fuld: “He’s not just a hero. He gave his life for me.”In addition to Fuld, many other police officers and civilians who responded to terror attacks in recent years received either medals or official commendation from Alsheich, as did two border guards for their actions during a 1954 attack by the Jordanian Arab Legion.Tuvia Wolfsthal and Meshulam Bar Natan were awarded the Medal of Distinction. Bar Natan was in command of a border guard unit that came under attack by the Arab Legion near the then-border with Jordan near Jerusalem.Bar Natan was injured as he provided cover to the other border guards whom he ordered to retreat. Wolfsthal, the unit’s medic, rushed to help him despite heavy fire from the Jordanians.The two were pinned down by the Jordanian fire and eventually killed by the Arab Legion troops.Information about their actions was not well known until recently, owing to a joint investigation by the Border Police’s history unit and the Border Police Heritage Center.The medals were awarded to surviving members of Wolfsthal’s and Bar Natan’s families.
Palestinian list fails to win any seats on Jerusalem city council-The ‘Jerusalem, My Town’ party led by Ramadan Dabash garnered only some 3,000 votes — 1.2% of total; needed more than twice as many-By Adam Rasgon-TOI-NOV 8,18
The sole all-Palestinian list that ran in last week’s local vote in Jerusalem failed to win a single seat on the city’s municipal council.Jerusalem, My Town, led by Ramadan Dabash, received 3,001 votes, some 1.2% of the 250,675 ballots cast for lists in Jerusalem, according to non-final results posted on the Jerusalem Municipality’s website.Jerusalem, My Town would have needed to receive a minimum of approximately 8,086 votes to gain one seat on the council, according to calculations based on the preliminary results.(In Jerusalem’s mayoral race, the two candidates who performed best last week, Moshe Lion and Ofer Berkovitch, will compete in a runoff on November 13.) Last Tuesday on election day, polling stations in East Jerusalem were largely empty with the exception of those in Jerusalem’s Sur Baher neighborhood.For example, at a polling station in Abu Tur, only 25 people had cast ballots as of 3:15p.m., a polling worker, who asked to remain unnamed, said.“The results show the pressure against voting in the elections won,” Amnon Ramon, a researcher at the Jerusalem Institute for Policy Research, said in a phone call. “I think there is a readiness in East Jerusalem to participate and vote in these elections. But with the great pressure against voting in them, which includes threats of violence, most of the people decided not to cast ballots.”Ramallah-based Palestinian officials had called on Palestinians in East Jerusalem to maintain their long-held boycott of local elections.“Participating in the elections will help the Israeli establishment in promoting its ‘Greater Jerusalem’ project… and play a complementary role in implementing its colonial settlement plan and ethnic cleansing operations,” senior Palestine Liberation Organization official Saeb Erekat said in a statement in June.Some Palestinians also threatened violence in Facebook posts against people planning to participate in the elections, and a Palestinian religious institution issued a legal opinion in July against running or voting in them.Throughout the past several decades, many Palestinians in East Jerusalem have boycotted elections in Jerusalem. In the 2013 local vote, fewer than one percent of Palestinian in the city cast ballots.However, a recent poll had indicated that more Palestinians in East Jerusalem intended to vote in the elections last week.In a poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey research in June, twenty-two percent of Palestinians in East Jerusalem said they planned to cast votes in the elections.Dabash, who focused his campaign on providing greater services to Palestinians in East Jerusalem, did not respond to multiple requests for comments.Gilad Israeli, who served as Dabash’s adviser, said while Jerusalem, My Town failed to gain a seat on the council, it brought more voters in East Jerusalem out to the polls compared to past years.“While we did not succeed in changing the overall behavior of voters, we did succeed in substantially increasing the number of voters in the eastern part of the city in relation to previous years,” he said in a phone call. “I hope we have started a trend that will continue to grow in the next five years and translate into to a much higher turnout in the next election.”The next municipal elections in Jerusalem are slated to take place in 2023.A spokeswoman for the Interior Ministry said she expects the final results of the Jerusalem vote to be released in the coming days.
US pipe bombs suspect appears at Election Day court hearing-Cesar Sayoc accused of sending explosives to prominent Democrats and Trump critics; could face nearly 50 years in prison-By Jim Mustian-TOI-NOV 8,18
NEW YORK (AP) — The man accused of sending pipe bombs to prominent critics of President Donald Trump was ordered held without bail after his first court appearance in New York on Tuesday.Cesar Sayoc, who was transferred from federal custody in Florida, hugged his lawyer after a hearing in which Assistant US Attorney Jane Kim called him “a serious risk of danger to the public and a flight risk.”Sayoc has been accused of sending improvised explosive devices to numerous Democrats, Trump critics, and media outlets in a scare that heightened tensions before the crucial midterm elections Tuesday. None of the devices exploded, and no one was injured in the pipe bomb scare.He was arrested outside a South Florida auto parts store. He was living in a van covered with stickers of Trump and showing images of some of the president’s opponents with red crosshairs over their faces.Sayoc faces nearly 50 years in prison if convicted on five federal charges that were filed in New York because some of the devices were recovered there.Assistant Federal Defender Sarah Baumgartel declined to comment after the hearing, in which Sayoc presented himself as polite and soft-spoken and responded “Yes, sir” to questions from the judge. He wore navy blue jail scrubs and a gray pony tail.At one point during the hearing, which lasted less than 10 minutes, Sayoc told US Magistrate Judge Robert Lehrburger that he understood his rights “100 percent.” He appeared taken aback, however, when Lehrburger noted that Sayoc is charged with assaulting federal officials, among other counts.His lawyers decided not to seek his release on bail after prosecutors released a letter outlining more evidence against him, including DNA linking him to 10 of the explosive devices and fingerprints on two of them.Other evidence includes online searches Sayoc did on his laptop and cellphone for addresses and photos of some of his intended targets, which included former president Barack Obama, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, former vice president Joe Biden, California Senator Kamala Harris, and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker. Packages were also mailed to CNN in New York and Atlanta.Prosecutors say the most recent crude bomb was recovered Friday in California, addressed to the liberal activist Tom Steyer.Sayoc is scheduled to return to federal court Monday for a preliminary hearing.While Sayoc’s attorneys have not commented on his mental health, his mother wrote a letter to ABC News saying he has suffered from mental illness for years.“While I have not lived with my son for 35 years or even heard from him in over four years, I cannot express how deeply hurt, sad, shocked and confused I am to hear that my son may have caused so many people to be put in fear for their safety,” Madeline Sayoc wrote in the letter, according to ABC News. “This is not how I raised him or my children.”

Brazil’s Bolsonaro hesitates over proposed Jerusalem embassy move-Asked about Egypt postponing a visit by Brazil’s foreign minister, the president-elect says its ‘something that hasn’t yet been decided’-By AFP-NOV 8,18
BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazil’s president-elect Jair Bolsonaro suggested Tuesday he was prepared to make a swift U-turn over plans to move the country’s Israel embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.Last week, Bolsonaro reiterated a campaign pledge to follow the lead of US President Donald Trump by switching the embassy from Israel’s economic and technological hub to its capital.But on Tuesday, he reeled in his plans claiming “it hasn’t yet been decided.”The far-right politician was responding to a question from reporters about Egypt postponing a scheduled visit from Brazil’s Foreign Minister Aloysio Nunes.“From what I know, it’s due to a calendar problem,” Bolsonaro said during his first visit to the capital Brasilia since winning the October 28 election runoff against leftist opponent Fernando Haddad. He is due to take office on January 1.“It would be premature for a country to take retaliatory measures against something that hasn’t yet been decided.”Bolsonaro’s announcement of the embassy move on Thursday provoked ire in the Arab world, with a senior Palestinian official branding the move “provocative and illegal,” while a spokesman for the Hamas terror group, which controls the Gaza Strip, called it “hostile.”Bolsonaro tried to downplay the importance of his own plans, claiming “it’s not a question of honor” but that “those who decide where the capital of Israel is, are the people, the state of Israel.”Such a move could prove risky for Brazil, though, as it is a major exporter of hallal meat to the Arab world.Jerusalem’s status is hotly disputed. Israel captured the eastern portion of the city, then under Jordanian control, at the end of the Six-Day War in 1967, which pitted it against Egypt, Syria and Jordan.It later annexed that part of the city in the reunification of Jerusalem, a move that has not been internationally recognized.The Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as a the capital of a future state.After Trump’s embassy move announcement in December, Guatemala and Paraguay followed suit, although the latter then changed its mind.
Closed bank, mothballed planes: Iran mocks US sanctions list-Trump reimposed biting sanctions Monday, six months after pulling the US out of the Iran nuclear deal-By Nasser Karimi and Jon Gambrell-TOI-NOV 8,18
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The “largest-ever” US sanctions list targeting Iran drew mockery from Iranian officials on Tuesday for including mothballed Boeing 747s, a bank that closed years earlier and a sunken oil tanker that exploded off China months ago.However, the new list of sanctions, which also aims to cut Iran’s vital oil industry off from international sales, also included for the first time its state airline and its atomic energy commission, further highlighting the maximalist approach of President Donald Trump’s administration.Trump pulled America out of the 2015 nuclear deal Iran struck with world powers in May. United Nations monitors say Iran still abides by the deal, in which it agreed to limit its uranium enrichment in return for the lifting of international sanctions.The US Treasury Department imposed penalties on more than 700 Iranian and Iranian-linked individuals, entities, aircraft and vessels in the new sanctions. Among those are 50 Iranian banks and subsidiaries, and more than 200 people and ships.However, scattered among the list are surprising entries, like the crude oil tanker Sanchi. That vessel collided with a bulk freighter and caught fire off China’s east coast in January, killing all 32 sailors aboard.Another entry was Iran’s Tat Bank, which closed in 2012.Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif took to Twitter to mock some of the targets of the sanctions, describing it as a “desperate” psychological ploy.“The US designated a bank that was closed 6 years ago, and a ship that sank . in a widely televised saga,” he wrote, ending the tweet with “#USisIsolated.”In a desperate PSYOP to amplify the list of sanctioned Iranian entities—unintentionally also proving it is #TargetingOrdinaryIranians indiscriminately—the U.S. designated a bank that was closed 6 years ago, and a ship that sank last year in a widely televised saga. #USisIsolated— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) November 5, 2018-But for the first time, the United States targeted Iran Air. It also sanctioned the state carrier’s mothballed fleet of Boeing 747s, which were manufactured in the 1970s.It also appeared that the US, in another first, was directly sanctioning the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, the government agency that oversees Iran’s nuclear program. Prior sanctions targeted specific subsidiaries of the organization.Eshaq Jahangiri, President Hassan Rouhani’s senior vice president, also criticized the sanctions.“Americans think their list is more effective if it is longer,” Jahangiri said, according to the state-run IRNA news agency. He said he had discussed the list with other officials, with many saying it was “less than what we expected.”Still, Jahangiri warned that “Americans intend to damage economy of the country” through psychological warfare.Zarif later issued an online video criticizing America’s “indiscriminate assault” on his country.“The US administration appears to believe that imposing illegal draconian sanctions on Iran will bring about such pain to our nation that it will force us to submit to its will, no matter how absurd, unlawful or fundamentally flawed its demands are.”Zarif urged America to re-examine its “catastrophes” in the Mideast, including its support for Saudi Arabia and Israel.Iran is already in the grip of an economic crisis. Its national currency, the rial, now trades at 150,000 to one US dollar; a year ago, it was about 40,500. The economic chaos sparked mass anti-government protests at the end of last year, resulting in nearly 5,000 reported arrests and at least 25 people being killed.Sporadic smaller demonstrations still reportedly erupt from time to time.The new sanctions particularly hurt Iran’s vital oil industry, which provides a crucial source of hard currency. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the sanctions already had cost Iran the sale of over 1 million barrels of crude oil a day.Analysts feared in the run-up to the sanctions that global oil prices could spike on tight supply and increasing demand. However, the Trump administration allowed some of its allies — Greece, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Turkey — as well as rival China to continue to purchase Iranian oil as long as they work to reduce imports to zero. The price of benchmark Brent crude has dropped from over $80 a barrel in recent days.During a visit to Madrid on Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the US decision to re-impose sanctions on Iran was “not legitimate” and that the rest of the parties to the 2015 nuclear deal abandoned by Washington are working to make economic cooperation with Tehran possible.Lavrov’s remarks were Russia’s first reaction to Washington’s new list of sanctions against Iran. The Russian diplomat said the sanctions go against international law and practices, and that the US “policies of issuing an ultimatum and making unilateral moves are unacceptable these days.”
Snowden warns Israelis of dangers in accepting too much government surveillance-Speaking via video link from Moscow, US whistleblower tells Israelis not to accept excuse that its needed for security, also cautions against firms selling spyware-By AFP-TOI-NOV 8,18
US whistleblower Edward Snowden urged Israelis to be on guard against heavy-handed government and private surveillance in a speech by video link Tuesday and defended his 2013 massive leak of classified documents.Snowden highlighted Israel’s high-tech capabilities, but warned that accepting too much government surveillance and too easily acceding to the argument that it is needed for security reasons posed serious risks.“If we can allow ourselves to be terrorized by someone with nothing but a knife, to reorder our societies for the convenience of state power … we’ve stopped being citizens and we’ve started being subjects,” said Snowden, who spoke from an undisclosed location in Moscow.The 35-year-old also spoke of the NSO Group, the Israel-based company known for its Pegasus spyware.The software has been pinpointed by independent experts as likely being used in a number of countries with poor human rights records.“The idea is that companies like this increasingly are popping up all around the world,” Snowden said.In one case, international experts investigating the disappearance of 43 students in Mexico in 2014 were targeted with the spyware after it had been sold to the government, the experts said.NSO Group says its product is intended to be used only for investigating and preventing crime and terrorism.It says it investigates allegations of improper use.Snowden, a former contractor with the US National Security Agency, leaked thousands of classified documents to the press in 2013 which revealed the vast scope of surveillance of private data put in place after the 9/11 attacks.He has lived in exile ever since.The United States has charged him with espionage and theft of state secrets, but Snowden said he still loves his country and hopes to return home.Snowden spoke to an invited audience in Tel Aviv at an event organized by an Israeli public relations agency.
Japan approves extension for reactor similar to Fukushima units that melted down-[Reuters]-By Aaron Sheldrick and Osamu Tsukimori-YAHOONEWS-November 7, 2018
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's nuclear regulator approved an extension of operations for a 40-year-old reactor near Tokyo that has the same basic design as those that melted down in the Fukushima crisis nearly eight years ago, a move that is likely to be controversial.The reactor, Tokai Daini, is the first boiling water reactor (BWR) to be approved for a lifetime extension of 20 years. The approval will be a boost for operator, Japan Atomic Power Co, which is owned by the country's main utilities and is bleeding cash because of the shutdown of its two nuclear power units.Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority approved the extension at a meeting of its commissioners on Wednesday, it said.Japan Atomic must complete safety upgrades, and a company spokesman told Reuters the nuclear operator will build a tsunami protection wall to fortify Tokai Daini. A restart of the plant is not expected till the 2020s.Japan Atomic will also need the approval of local and prefectural authorities before it can resume operations.Tokai Daini was operating when a massive earthquake struck off the northeast coast of Japan on March 11, 2011, creating a tsunami that swamped Tokyo Electric Power's Fukushima Daichi plant to the north, causing explosions and meltdowns at three reactors.The Tokai Daini plant sustained damage, but shut down automatically, according to Japan Atomic.While the extension will be a further boost for Japan's resurgent nuclear industry, the sector will still miss a government target of providing at least a fifth of the country's electricity by 2030, an analysis by Reuters showed last week.Nuclear power remains an unpopular energy option in Japan and the country will reboot only a fraction of the 54 reactors it had before the 2011 disaster.Six reactors at Fukushima Daiichi are being dismantled in a decades-long exercise that is fraught with technological challenges and hampered by radioactive waste. Operators have also decided to decommission a further 10 units across the country since Fukushima.Nine reactors have restarted, all of them pressurized water reactors located far from Tokyo, while the stigma of Fukushima still hangs over use of the older BWR technology.(Reporting by Aaron Sheldrick and Osamu Tsukimori; Editing by Tom Hogue)
Rebel' Prince Charles could put monarchy at risk, author says-[Reuters]-By Michael Holden-YAHOONEWS-November 6, 2018
LONDON (Reuters) - Prince Charles, the "rebel" heir to the British throne, will face a battle to win over Britons and could even put the monarchy at risk if he does not temper his strong views when he eventually becomes king, a royal biographer says.Charles, who turns 70 next week, will be the oldest monarch to be crowned when he finally succeeds his 92-year-old mother Queen Elizabeth.Tom Bower, whose unauthorized "Rebel Prince" biography of Charles was published earlier this year, said the prince was intelligent, kind and sensitive but also selfish, ungrateful, and a lover of luxury whose stubborn streak could risk the institution itself."I think Charles will try his hardest to be a good king," Bower, who describes himself as a committed monarchist, told Reuters. "The question will be how he behaves, whether he abandons a lot of the qualities that were shown in the preceding 20, 30 years."I do believe the queen and (her husband) Prince Philip have been thankful to live so long to prevent their son being the monarch because he would have jeopardized it."Such critical portraits of the prince are not new. Since the public breakdown of his marriage to Princess Diana in the 1990s, his lifestyle and views on issues such as climate change, religion, alternative medicine and architecture have often had unfavorable treatment."As a teenager, I remember feeling deeply about this appallingly excessive demolition job being done on every aspect of life," Charles said in a written response to Vanity Fair magazine for an interview published this month."In putting my head above the parapet on all these issues, and trying to remind people of their long-term, timeless relevance to our human experience - never mind trying to do something about them - I found myself in conflict with the conventional outlook which, as I discovered, is not exactly the most pleasant situation to find yourself."Bower, whose biography was based on interviews with 120 people including some who worked closely for the royals, said the prince was committed to issues like the environment but was someone unable to take criticism."He's very keen to criticize others but cannot tolerate those who challenge him," Bower said."He's a person who is driven, who undoubtedly wants to do good but doesn't understand that the consequences of a lot of his actions cause a lot of trouble and he doesn't like to be told that he might be doing something wrong."Former aides who have worked closely with Charles say many of the stories in Bower's book are simply not true. The prince himself has dismissed a story that he travels with his own toilet seat."I can understand why critics will write ... negatively, but all they're doing is taking a facet of him and making it the most negative possible," one former close aide of many years, who described himself as a big fan of Charles, told Reuters."It's not such a contradiction that people have these polar views of him because somewhere in the middle is the real man."AXES TO GRIND-Supporters of the prince say his detractors are often those with axes to grind airing exaggerated grievances."That reflects on Charles for causing those people to have a grievance," Bower said. "You don't find people speaking with grievances against the queen."While the queen was a unifier, he said: "Charles does the opposite. He divides the nation between those who like him and dislike him, he divides his own court, he creates hostility when he be creating harmony and that's his trait."Bower said Charles had rebelled against his parents, saying the demise of his relationship with Diana and the romance with his second wife Camilla was part of that rebellion."He has a view of the world and he wants to impose his view of that world, so in every way he doesn't want to conform to expectations, so that makes him a rebel," he said."I think that if he's a rebel king, the monarchy will be in danger and I think that is the great problem we face."(Editing by Guy Faulconbridge and Giles Elgood)
Mexican Congress eyes legalizing pot-[AFP]-YAHOONEWS-November 8, 2018
Mexico City (AFP) - President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's future interior minister introduced a bill Tuesday to legalize marijuana in Mexico, a country wracked by violence fueled by its powerful drug cartels.Senator and future interior minister Olga Sanchez Cordero introduced the bill, to "propose a responsible regulation model adapted to Mexico's circumstances," according to the text published on the Senate's website.Sanchez has been given "carte blanche" to explore ways to overhaul drug policy under Lopez Obrador, an anti-establishment leftist who takes office on December 1 after winning Mexico's July elections in a landslide.Lopez Obrador's coalition holds a majority in both houses of Congress, giving the bill a good chance of passing.That would mark a sea change after decades of prohibitionist policy in Mexico, whose shared border with the United States, proximity to leading narcotics producers such as Colombia, and domestic production of marijuana, heroin and other drugs have made it one of the top drug trafficking countries in the world.If the bill passed, Mexico would become just the third country in the world to legalize recreational cannabis use, after Canada and Uruguay.The bill proposes "strict legal regulation" that would regulate and monitor marijuana production, sales and consumption.It would allow users to grow up to 20 plants at a time and produce 480 grams (17 ounces) of the drug per year for personal consumption.The bill comes on the heels of a Supreme Court decision last week that created a legal gray area around marijuana.The court ruled in favor of a private citizen who sued for the right to be able to consume marijuana recreationally. It was its fifth such decision, which under Mexican law sets a legal precedent.However, as things now stand, each individual seeking permission to use the drug will have to file a separate court case. Authorities say they have received 615 requests so far.Desperate to crack down on its brutally violent cartels, Mexico deployed the army to fight drug trafficking in 2006.Since then, the violence has worsened. The country registered a record 28,711 murders last year, and the record is on track to be broken again this year.
Invasion' or 'brother migrants'? Caravans threaten Mexico-U.S. detente-[Reuters]-By Dave Graham-YAHOONEWS-November 8, 2018
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A stream of U.S.-bound Central American migrant caravans risks clouding the rapprochement between Mexico's next leader and U.S. President Donald Trump, who has railed against illegal migration to energize his electoral base.Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a combative leftist who takes office in December, has signaled he hopes to repair bilateral ties damaged by Trump's criticism of Mexico for failing to stop migration and his demands for a border wall.From opposite sides of the political spectrum, he and Trump have so far defied fears they could clash, with both helping to find common ground for a new North American trade deal.But a spate of Central American migrant caravans pushing into Mexico in recent weeks revived tensions in the run-up to U.S. congressional elections on Tuesday. Trump has threatened to close the U.S-Mexico border if the migrants are not stopped."This is one of the potential flashpoints that could end the bromance between Lopez Obrador and Trump," Arturo Sarukhan, a former Mexican ambassador to the United States, told Reuters.Trump's 2016 election win sent relations between the two neighbors to their lowest ebb in years.During the campaign, he repeatedly vowed to make Mexico pay for a border wall to keep out migrants, and accused the country of sending rapists and drug runners north.Tensions over migration spilled over into economic affairs.Trump tried to use border security to extract concessions in the revamp of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which he threatened to scrap before the United States, Mexico and Canada agreed a new deal on Sept. 30.Mexico sends 80 percent of its exports to the United States and the NAFTA renegotiation rattled Mexico's financial markets and disrupted investment.Since a convoy of Hondurans left the city of San Pedro Sula on Oct. 13, several thousand Central Americans have crossed into Mexico. Trump has said he will send troops to the U.S. southern border to stop what he calls an "invasion."Lopez Obrador, by contrast, has been offering to help his "brother migrants" with visas and employment. He wants to persuade Trump to contribute to a plan to promote development in Central America and Mexico's poorer south.However, Sarukhan said Trump would almost certainly continue to campaign divisively on border security and migration as the race for the 2020 U.S. presidential election heats up."It's hard for me to see, given the current dynamics in the United States, how Lopez Obrador is going to either ensure that this doesn't become a flashpoint or convince Trump to spend significant political, diplomatic and financial capital in holistic development in Central America," he said.Angered by the caravans, Trump has threatened to cut aid to Central America - the very opposite of what the region needs, said Hector Vasconcelos, a lawmaker for Lopez Obrador's MORENA party, and head of the Senate foreign relations committee."We need big economic development programs in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador if we really want to reduce migration from those countries," Vasconcelos said.Most of the migrants say they are fleeing gang violence and poverty. But Trump suggested, without providing proof, the caravans could be hiding "Middle Eastern" terrorists.Asked how a Lopez Obrador administration would seek to bridge the differences over migration, incoming foreign minister Marcelo Ebrard told Reuters on Oct. 22 in Canada that, once in office, it hoped to start persuading the United States and others of the benefits of investing in Central America.However, he added: "It's not very easy."SHARP WORDS-Lopez Obrador has adopted a conciliatory tone toward Trump since winning Mexico's July election, stressing his desire for good relations.Privately though, members of his transition team are skeptical whether the goodwill will last as the 2020 U.S. presidential election unfolds.If Trump returns to the rhetoric he deployed against Mexico during his first election campaign, it could encourage the fiercely patriotic Lopez Obrador to hit back.Just weeks after Trump took office in 2017, Lopez Obrador went to the United States to address Mexican-American voters, rounding on the new U.S. president in a speech in Los Angeles."These astute but irresponsible neo-fascist rulers want to build walls to turn the United States into an enormous ghetto, and put Mexicans in general, and our migrant compatriots in particular, on the same level as the Jews stigmatized and unjustly persecuted in the age of Hitler," Lopez Obrador said.(Reporting by Dave Graham; Additional reporting by David Ljunggren in Ottawa; Editing by Daniel Flynn and Rosalba O'Brien)
Italy working to help Pakistani Christian in blasphemy case-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-November 8, 2018
ROME (AP) — Italy said Tuesday that it is working to help relocate the family of a Pakistani Christian woman acquitted eight years after being sentenced to death for blasphemy, amid warnings from her husband that the family's life is in danger in Pakistan.The Foreign Ministry said it was coordinating with other countries to ensure safety for Asia Bibi and her family. In a statement, the ministry said it was ready to act on whatever the Italian government might decide — an indication that an offer of asylum might be in the offing.Also Tuesday, a lawmaker in German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative party called for Germany to grant Bibi refuge, after her husband Ashiq Masih appealed for help from the West to relocate the family.Bibi was convicted in 2010 of insulting Islam's prophet, but Pakistan's top court acquitted her last week. Protests by hardline Islamists prompted the government to impose a travel ban on Bibi until her case is reviewed.Bibi's case has been closely followed in Italy for years, and Pope Francis met earlier this year with her family in a show of solidarity.Even Italy's hardline, anti-migrant interior minister Matteo Salvini stressed that he would do "all that is humanly possible" to ensure Bibi and her family are safe, either in Italy or some other country.Salvini distinguished between Bibi and the tens of thousands of migrants who try to seek out a better life in Italy via smugglers' boats from Libya.

Terror victim Ari Fuld posthumously awarded medal for shooting his stabber-Border guards killed by Jordanian Arab Legion in 1954 also awarded police commendation as new information emerges about their actions-By Judah Ari Gross-TOI-NOV 8,18
The Israel Police awarded a medal of honor on Tuesday to Ari Fuld, an Israeli-American who chased after and shot at the terrorist who had moments before stabbed and fatally wounded him outside a supermarket in the central West Bank two months ago.Fuld was posthumously awarded the Medal of Distinction — the third highest award that can be granted by the Israel Police.A resident of the Efrat settlement and father of four, Fuld was one of 54 people — police officers and civilians — to receive an official commendation on Tuesday night, at an event attended by Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, outgoing Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich and President Reuven Rivlin.On September 16, Fuld was standing outside a market near the Gush Etzion Junction in the central West Bank when 17-year-old Khalil Jabarin stabbed him in the back and neck multiple times.“Ari — may his memory be blessed — turned around, faced the terrorist, saw the knife covered in his own blood and screamed: ‘Terrorist! Terrorist!'” the police said in a statement.“He pushed the terrorist back and fought with him. When the terrorist fled, despite his critical injuries, Ari chased after the terrorist with the last of his strength and managed to shoot him with his handgun before collapsing to the ground,” according to the police.In the description of the attack, the police credit Fuld with preventing additional casualties by shooting Jabarin, who had run toward an employee of the shopping center.“I am proud of these wonderful and incredible people: border guards Israel Police officers and resourceful civilians, including Ari Fuld — may God avenge his death — who fought with a despicable terrorist until his last breath. Unfortunately it is in these extraordinary incidents that we learn the most about [Fuld],” Erdan said at the award ceremony.The public security minister had last month called for the police to consider granting Fuld the award for his actions in the terror attack.Security camera footage of the shopping center shows Fuld, after having been stabbed and with blood pouring down his back, chasing and shooting at Jabarin. He then collapsed to the ground.Fuld was rushed to a Jerusalem hospital, but was declared dead shortly after. Jabarin was taken to the hospital in moderate condition and arrested.“Ari Fuld demonstrated supreme heroism and fearlessness when in his final moments he chased after the terrorist who had fatally stabbed him, neutralized him and in so doing saved the lives of other civilians,” Erdan wrote in his recommendation to Alsheich last month.Erdan, who is also the strategic affairs minister, said that Fuld had also dedicated his life to defending Israel by combating the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.“In addition to his actions in the battlefield, Ari also fought for the State of Israel in the international arena and was part of a network of information activists we established to show the world the truth about Israel and to expose the lies of those who boycott Israel,” Erdan wrote. “Ari is an example and a model to us all and we should commend him for it.”Fuld was a well-known Israel advocate and right-wing activist. His killing pierced the community of pro-Israel advocacy, and activists recalled him as a dogged supporter of the Jewish state.After the attack, falafel shop worker Hila Peretz said she saw Jabarin fatally stab Fuld outside the shop a few minutes after she served the Palestinian teenager. Jabarin then began to run toward her with the knife drawn. She ran for her life, shouting “terrorist,” she said.“The terrorist was right behind me,” she recalled. “I started running down the stairs but he jumped to try to get in front of me. The man who was killed really saved my life.”She added of Fuld: “He’s not just a hero. He gave his life for me.”In addition to Fuld, many other police officers and civilians who responded to terror attacks in recent years received either medals or official commendation from Alsheich, as did two border guards for their actions during a 1954 attack by the Jordanian Arab Legion.Tuvia Wolfsthal and Meshulam Bar Natan were awarded the Medal of Distinction. Bar Natan was in command of a border guard unit that came under attack by the Arab Legion near the then-border with Jordan near Jerusalem.Bar Natan was injured as he provided cover to the other border guards whom he ordered to retreat. Wolfsthal, the unit’s medic, rushed to help him despite heavy fire from the Jordanians.The two were pinned down by the Jordanian fire and eventually killed by the Arab Legion troops.Information about their actions was not well known until recently, owing to a joint investigation by the Border Police’s history unit and the Border Police Heritage Center.The medals were awarded to surviving members of Wolfsthal’s and Bar Natan’s families.
Palestinian list fails to win any seats on Jerusalem city council-The ‘Jerusalem, My Town’ party led by Ramadan Dabash garnered only some 3,000 votes — 1.2% of total; needed more than twice as many-By Adam Rasgon-TOI-NOV 8,18
The sole all-Palestinian list that ran in last week’s local vote in Jerusalem failed to win a single seat on the city’s municipal council.Jerusalem, My Town, led by Ramadan Dabash, received 3,001 votes, some 1.2% of the 250,675 ballots cast for lists in Jerusalem, according to non-final results posted on the Jerusalem Municipality’s website.Jerusalem, My Town would have needed to receive a minimum of approximately 8,086 votes to gain one seat on the council, according to calculations based on the preliminary results.(In Jerusalem’s mayoral race, the two candidates who performed best last week, Moshe Lion and Ofer Berkovitch, will compete in a runoff on November 13.) Last Tuesday on election day, polling stations in East Jerusalem were largely empty with the exception of those in Jerusalem’s Sur Baher neighborhood.For example, at a polling station in Abu Tur, only 25 people had cast ballots as of 3:15p.m., a polling worker, who asked to remain unnamed, said.“The results show the pressure against voting in the elections won,” Amnon Ramon, a researcher at the Jerusalem Institute for Policy Research, said in a phone call. “I think there is a readiness in East Jerusalem to participate and vote in these elections. But with the great pressure against voting in them, which includes threats of violence, most of the people decided not to cast ballots.”Ramallah-based Palestinian officials had called on Palestinians in East Jerusalem to maintain their long-held boycott of local elections.“Participating in the elections will help the Israeli establishment in promoting its ‘Greater Jerusalem’ project… and play a complementary role in implementing its colonial settlement plan and ethnic cleansing operations,” senior Palestine Liberation Organization official Saeb Erekat said in a statement in June.Some Palestinians also threatened violence in Facebook posts against people planning to participate in the elections, and a Palestinian religious institution issued a legal opinion in July against running or voting in them.Throughout the past several decades, many Palestinians in East Jerusalem have boycotted elections in Jerusalem. In the 2013 local vote, fewer than one percent of Palestinian in the city cast ballots.However, a recent poll had indicated that more Palestinians in East Jerusalem intended to vote in the elections last week.In a poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey research in June, twenty-two percent of Palestinians in East Jerusalem said they planned to cast votes in the elections.Dabash, who focused his campaign on providing greater services to Palestinians in East Jerusalem, did not respond to multiple requests for comments.Gilad Israeli, who served as Dabash’s adviser, said while Jerusalem, My Town failed to gain a seat on the council, it brought more voters in East Jerusalem out to the polls compared to past years.“While we did not succeed in changing the overall behavior of voters, we did succeed in substantially increasing the number of voters in the eastern part of the city in relation to previous years,” he said in a phone call. “I hope we have started a trend that will continue to grow in the next five years and translate into to a much higher turnout in the next election.”The next municipal elections in Jerusalem are slated to take place in 2023.A spokeswoman for the Interior Ministry said she expects the final results of the Jerusalem vote to be released in the coming days.
US pipe bombs suspect appears at Election Day court hearing-Cesar Sayoc accused of sending explosives to prominent Democrats and Trump critics; could face nearly 50 years in prison-By Jim Mustian-TOI-NOV 8,18
NEW YORK (AP) — The man accused of sending pipe bombs to prominent critics of President Donald Trump was ordered held without bail after his first court appearance in New York on Tuesday.Cesar Sayoc, who was transferred from federal custody in Florida, hugged his lawyer after a hearing in which Assistant US Attorney Jane Kim called him “a serious risk of danger to the public and a flight risk.”Sayoc has been accused of sending improvised explosive devices to numerous Democrats, Trump critics, and media outlets in a scare that heightened tensions before the crucial midterm elections Tuesday. None of the devices exploded, and no one was injured in the pipe bomb scare.He was arrested outside a South Florida auto parts store. He was living in a van covered with stickers of Trump and showing images of some of the president’s opponents with red crosshairs over their faces.Sayoc faces nearly 50 years in prison if convicted on five federal charges that were filed in New York because some of the devices were recovered there.Assistant Federal Defender Sarah Baumgartel declined to comment after the hearing, in which Sayoc presented himself as polite and soft-spoken and responded “Yes, sir” to questions from the judge. He wore navy blue jail scrubs and a gray pony tail.At one point during the hearing, which lasted less than 10 minutes, Sayoc told US Magistrate Judge Robert Lehrburger that he understood his rights “100 percent.” He appeared taken aback, however, when Lehrburger noted that Sayoc is charged with assaulting federal officials, among other counts.His lawyers decided not to seek his release on bail after prosecutors released a letter outlining more evidence against him, including DNA linking him to 10 of the explosive devices and fingerprints on two of them.Other evidence includes online searches Sayoc did on his laptop and cellphone for addresses and photos of some of his intended targets, which included former president Barack Obama, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, former vice president Joe Biden, California Senator Kamala Harris, and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker. Packages were also mailed to CNN in New York and Atlanta.Prosecutors say the most recent crude bomb was recovered Friday in California, addressed to the liberal activist Tom Steyer.Sayoc is scheduled to return to federal court Monday for a preliminary hearing.While Sayoc’s attorneys have not commented on his mental health, his mother wrote a letter to ABC News saying he has suffered from mental illness for years.“While I have not lived with my son for 35 years or even heard from him in over four years, I cannot express how deeply hurt, sad, shocked and confused I am to hear that my son may have caused so many people to be put in fear for their safety,” Madeline Sayoc wrote in the letter, according to ABC News. “This is not how I raised him or my children.”
