GOP senators pitch resolution to recognize
Israeli sovereignty of Golan Heights-Motion says Israel’s national
security depends on its permanent control of the strategic plateau-By
Eric Cortellessa-TOI-DEC 20,18
WASHINGTON — Two
Republican senators introduced a resolution on Tuesday calling for the
US to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.Texas Senator
Ted Cruz and Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton drafted the motion, which
claims that Israel’s national security depends upon its permanent
control of the territory. Otherwise, the text says, Israel will be
vulnerable to attacks from Syria and Lebanon.“Israel’s northern border
is threatened by Iranian forces and their proxies in Lebanon and Syria,
including Hezbollah’s 150,000 rockets, armed drones, newly discovered
terror tunnels, and more,” said Senators Cruz and Cotton in a statement.
“Meanwhile, with the ayatollahs’ help, Bashar al-Assad’s regime is on
the verge of securing victory in Syria’s civil war. He may soon turn his
attention back to threatening the Jewish state.”Israel captured the
Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Six Day War and annexed the
territory in the early 1980s. But the United States and the
international community have long considered it Syrian territory under
Israeli occupation.In recent years, Israel has tried to convince
Washington to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the area and Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly stressed that Israel will
control the territory “forever.”In June, Yesh Atid party chairman Yair
Lapid met with high-level American lawmakers, urging them to advance the
issue.“Israel has declared sovereignty over the Golan Heights,” Lapid
said at the time. “There were all kinds of discussions throughout the
years, but this is over, because it is so obvious that nobody in their
right mind is going to give the Golan Heights to a mass murderer who
just killed half a million of his own people.”Referring to Assad’s reign
of power in Syria, in which he is accused of brutalizing his own people
and carrying out war crimes, including the use of chemical weapons,
Lapid insisted that any Israeli handover of territory to the regime was
off the table. “Now that the risks are so obvious, we will never
renegotiate the Golan Heights,” he said. “It’s ours and always has been.
It’s not like the West Bank or anything.”Netanyahu also made the same
pitch to former president Barack Obama during a 2015 meeting, telling
him that the situation in Syria required “different thinking” on the
matter.Obama never moved forward on the Israeli premier’s request. Cruz,
however, immediately endorsed the proposal after Netanyahu’s
comments.It not yet clear how much bipartisan support the resolution
will gain. As of now, it is being pushed exclusively by two of the most
hawkish Republican senators.“Israel gained possession over the Golan
Heights in a defensive war over 50 years ago, and has responsibly
controlled the area ever since,” Cruz and Cotton said. “It’s past time
for the United States to recognize reality by affirming Israel’s
sovereignty over the Golan Heights.”
Despite protests,
Knesset confirms Netanyahu as permanent defense minister-Opposition
fumes as PM’s appointment passes by 59-56 majority; Jewish Home party
ministers, who vowed to abstain, end up supporting motion-By Raoul
Wootliff-TOI-20 December 2018
Knesset members voted
Monday to formalize the appointment of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhau
as permanent defense minister. The vote came a month after the prime
minister appointed himself to the role, from which Avigdor Liberman had
resigned citing Israel’s policy toward Gaza.Despite criticism of him
holding several key ministerial portfolios, Netanyahu asserted at the
time that Israel was in the midst of a military campaign, which he
claimed he was the only person capable of steering the country
through.As well as serving as prime minister, Netanyahu is currently
also the foreign minister, defense minister, health minister, and
immigration and absorption minister. While he has served as defense
minister since Liberman ended his tenure on November 18, Netanyahu has
thus far only been in the role as a temporary replacement, an
arrangement that can last no longer than three months and cannot be
extended.The permanent appointment passed in the Knesset by a majority
of 59 supporters to 56 opposed.Jewish Home party ministers Naftali
Bennett and Ayelet Shaked, who had earlier said they would abstain,
ended up supporting Netanyahu’s appointment.Last month, Bennett demanded
that he be named defense minister, threatening to leave the coalition
and topple the government, but ultimately retracted his
ultimatum.Opposition lawmakers vociferously criticized the
appointment.“The State of Israel can’t allow itself to keep him as
defense minister,” Yesh Atid party leader Yair Lapid said, adding that
Netanyahu had failed to contain a wave of Palestinian terror attacks in
his first month as defense chief.Opposition leader Tzipi Livni called
the appointment “scary,” saying Netanyahu’s “political weakness” — which
she characterized as capitulating to demands from both settlers and the
Hamas terror group — “is anything but security.”Last week, Netanyahu
told his cabinet that he will be sworn in as the permanent defense
minister this week, subject to a Knesset vote, and plans to appoint
someone else as immigration and absorption minister this week and
another as foreign minister within a month.Netanyahu has served as
foreign minister since the formation of his government in 2015, a move
that he initially justified by claiming he was keeping the position for
the opposition Zionist Union head, in an attempt to entice them to join
the government.Several members of his own party were initially furious
that he did not appoint one of them as foreign minister, with senior
Likud ministers Gilad Erdan and Israel Katz claiming to have been
promised the portfolio by Netanyahu.In April 2016, the Yesh Atid party
submitted a petition to the High Court against the number of portfolios
that Netanyahu had reserved for himself at the time: health, regional
cooperation, communications, and foreign affairs, as well as the
premiership.The court ruled 4-1 that the prime minister could continue
to hold all four portfolios, but three justices gave him eight months to
reduce the load, saying they might review the situation if he did not,
Haaretz reported at the time.The justices said that it was hard to
believe that Netanyahu could properly manage so many ministries, and
that the situation was not appropriate in a democracy.Following
Liberman’s resignation over Israel’s “capitulation to terror” in Gaza,
Jewish Home chairman Bennett initially demanded to be made defense
minister, with his party saying it would leave the government if he were
not appointed to the position. But Netanyahu called his bluff and
Bennett, the education minister, backed down from the ultimatum.On
Sunday Bennett joined a protest in Jerusalem, that called for a tougher
response to a number of recent terror attacks in the West Bank, saying
that Netanyahu had “promised a change in policy, to restore power” over
Israel’s enemies, but “that has not happened yet.”He then clashed with
the prime minister at the weekly cabinet meeting, blaming him for the
uptick in attacks and the potential renewed outbreak of regular, serious
violence in the region.Netanyahu was dealt a blow later in the day when
a Hadashot TV news released a poll showing that majority of Israelis
are unhappy with his performance as the head of Israel’s military
establishment.According to the poll, just seven percent of respondents
said they were “very happy” with Netanyahu as defense minister, while a
further 26% said they were “satisfied.” Conversely, 25% said they were
“unsatisfied” and 33% said they were “very unhappy.”

Putin wants
government to take control of rap music-Russian president says
authorities should not ban rap as it will increase its popularity, but
the drug themes are ‘a path to the degradation of the nation’-By
Agencies-TOI-DEC 20,18
MOSCOW — Alarmed by the growing
popularity of rap among Russian youth, President Vladimir Putin wants
cultural leaders to devise a means of controlling, rather than banning,
the popular music.Putin says “if it is impossible to stop, then we must
lead it and direct it.”But Putin said at a St. Petersburg meeting with
cultural advisers Saturday that attempts to ban artists from performing
will have an adverse effect and bolster their popularity.Putin noted
that “rap is based on three pillars: sex, drugs and protest.” But he is
particularly concerned with drug themes prevalent in rap, saying “this
is a path to the degradation of the nation.”He said “drug propaganda” is
worse than cursing.The Culture Ministry would find the best way to
“navigate” youth concerts, he added, according to the BBC.Putin’s
comments come amid a crackdown on contemporary music that evoked
Soviet-era censorship of the arts.Last month, a rapper known as Husky,
whose videos have garnered more than 6 million views on YouTube, was
arrested after he staged an impromptu performance when his show was shut
down in the southern Russian city of Krasnodar.The 25-year-old rapper,
known for his lyrics about poverty, corruption and police brutality, was
preparing to take to the stage on Nov. 21 when local prosecutors warned
the venue that his act had elements of what they termed
“extremism.”Husky climbed onto a car, surrounded by hundreds of fans,
and chanted “I will sing my music, the most honest music!” before he was
taken away by police.On Nov. 30, rapper Gone.Fludd announced two
concert cancellations, citing pressure from “every police agency you can
imagine,” while the popular hip hop artist Allj cancelled his show in
the Arctic city of Yakutsk after receiving threats of violence.Other
artists have been affected as well — pop sensation Monetochka and punk
band Friendzona were among those who had their concerts shut down by the
authorities last month.
Netanyahu to visit Rio, Brasilia
in unprecedented trip to Brazil-PM will attend inauguration of new
president Bolsonaro; local Jews hail ‘promising signs in the bilateral
relationship’-By Raphael Ahren-TOI-20 December 2018
Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will travel to Brazil later this month to
attend the inauguration of incoming President Jair Bolsonaro, his office
confirmed Monday.During his five-day trip — the first-ever to the Latin
American country by an Israeli prime minister — he is also expected to
meet with the local Jewish leaders.Netanyahu will head to Rio on
December 27, where he will conduct a first bilateral meeting with
Bolsonaro and meet representatives of the Jewish community. On Monday,
December 31, the prime minister will fly to the capital, Brasilia, for
the events surrounding the president’s inauguration the next day.He is
scheduled to attend ceremonies at the Presidential Palace, the Foreign
Ministry Palace, and at the National Congress.Speaking to his Likud
faction in the Knesset on Monday, Netanyahu predicted that the Israeli
press would ignore his trip to Brazil. “I will meet there with the
president-elect of Brazil, who said that he will carry out a revolution
in Brazil’s relations with Israel,” he said.“It’s not just another
country — even though every country is important — it’s a country with
nearly a quarter of a billion people, a superpower. And they’re changing
their relations with Israel from one extreme to the other, including on
the issue of Jerusalem,” he added.Netanyahu was referring to
Bolsonaro’s pledge to defy international consensus and recognize
Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move his country’s embassy
there.Brazil’s Jewish community welcomed news of Netanyahu’s visit and
the prospect of warming ties.“The Brazilian Jewish community sees
promising signs in the bilateral relationship between Brazil and Israel
in the next years,” Fernando Lottenberg, the president of the Israelite
Confederation of Brazil, told The Times of Israel on Monday.“There is an
agenda very rich in opportunities, on which we have been working during
the last years that may take a new dimension, in areas like technology,
culture, security, agriculture and others,” Lottenberg said.“The prime
minister’s coming to the inauguration is a good sign, following on the
meeting in Jerusalem last March, when the current foreign minister, Mr.
Aloysio Nunes, visited Israel and invited us to join his
entourage.”Netanyahu first confirmed his plan to attend the inauguration
of Bolsonaro — a controversial right-wing political figure known for
his tough talk — last week during a meeting with foreign reporters in
Jerusalem.Asked by a Brazilian reporters what he thinks of Latin
America’s recent shift to the right, he replied: “Our concern is not the
domestic decisions, the political decisions, but what is their
relationship to us? I was very glad to hear that Mr. Bolsonaro thinks
that we should upgrade and change Brazil’s attitude to Israel.”Brazil is
a “great country” with “great enormous economic potential,” Netanyahu
added.Besides pledging to move the Brazilian Embassy to Jerusalem,
Bolsonaro has also vowed to close the Palestinian mission in
Brasilia.The planned embassy move has drawn wide praise from Israel and
its supporters, and condemnation from the Arab world.Arab League head
Ahmed Aboul Gheit warned Bolsonaro to reconsider the move, according to
Reuters.“The Arab world has much respect for Brazil and we want not just
to maintain relations, but improve and diversify them. But the
intention of moving the embassy to Jerusalem could harm them,” an
unnamed diplomat told the news agency, describing the Arab league’s
position.Diplomats from the Arab League’s 22 member states plan to
huddle Tuesday in Brasilia to discuss the embassy move, according to
Reuters.Bolsonaro announced he would move the embassy shortly after he
was elected in late October.“Israel is a sovereign state and we shall
duly respect that,” he tweeted at the time.Netanyahu hailed the decision
as “historic,” but Palestinian official Hanan Ashrawi condemned it as
“illegal.”“These are provocative and illegal steps that will only
destabilize security and stability in the region,” Ashrawi, a member of
the Palestine Liberation Organization’s executive committee, told AFP in
November.The Organization of Islamic Countries has also urged Brazil
not to move the embassy.In September, the organization’s executive
committee, meeting in New York on the sidelines of the UN General
Assembly, reiterated “its determination to take political, economic and
other measures against countries which recognize Al-Quds as the
so-called capital of Israel or relocate their embassies thereto.”Brazil
is among the largest exporters of halal meat to the Arab world, and
exporters have lobbied Bolsonaro to not move the embassy and risk trade,
according to Reuters.The president-elect appeared to briefly back off
the pledge last month, but his son Eduardo Bolsonaro recently told Jared
Kushner, the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, that it was a
matter of “when, not if.”Only the United States and Guatemala currently
have their embassies in Jerusalem, while other countries have theirs in
Tel Aviv.Israel captured Arab East Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War and
later annexed it, in a move never recognized by the international
community. It sees the entire city as its capital.For decades, the
international community maintained that the city’s status should be
negotiated between Israel and the Palestinians.The embassy move squarely
aligns Bolsonaro with the US president, and bolsters his image as the
“Tropical Trump.”In December 2017, Trump reversed longstanding policy
and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, prompting Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to boycott his administration.Times
of Israel staff and agencies contributed to this report.
Iranian
president’s son-in-law resigns amid nepotism claims-Kambiz Mehdizadeh
steps down just two days after he was appointed head of country’s
geological survey-By AFP-TOI-DEC 20,18
TEHRAN, Iran —
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s son-in-law resigned on Monday, just
two days after his appointment as head of Iran’s geological survey
sparked accusations of nepotism, official news agency IRNA
reported.Kambiz Mehdizadeh, in his early thirties, who reportedly
married Rouhani’s daughter in a low-key wedding this August, was
appointed to the senior position in the industries and mining ministry
on Saturday.The move sparked criticism on social media and from some
lawmakers.“I thank you for finding me worthy and inviting me to work
alongside you in this ministry, but I ask to be relieved of my service
so that I can continue my scientific and research activities,”
Mehdizadeh wrote in a resignation letter, according to IRNA.Mehdizadeh
is a PhD student in petroleum engineering, who has also served as an
adviser to Iran’s oil ministry, taekwondo federation and national youth
organization, according to the conservative Tasnim news agency.The
minister who appointed him, Reza Rahmani, defended his choice just hours
before the resignation, saying Mehdizadeh was “chosen based on his
competence and being the president’s son-in-law had nothing to do with
it,” according to IRNA.Iranians on social media renewed criticism of
nepotism that had spread last year with the hashtag “#good-genes” — a
reference to the son of a prominent reformist politician who attributed
his business success to inheriting “good genes” from his parents.
Sudan
president lands in Syria in first visit by Arab leader-Nearly 8 years
after Arab League exiled Assad regime for brutal crackdown on opposition
groups, some regional powers express interest in restoring ties-By
AP-TOI-DEC 20,18
DAMASCUS, Syria — Sudan’s president on
Sunday became the first Arab League leader to visit Syria since civil
war erupted there nearly eight years ago.Omar al-Bashir was greeted at
the Damascus airport by Syrian President Bashar Assad before they both
headed to the presidential palace, where they held talks on bilateral
relations and the latest developments in Syria and the region, according
to the state-run news agency.Syria was expelled from the 22-member Arab
League soon after war broke out in 2011. Arab countries have sanctioned
Damascus and condemned Assad for using overwhelming military force and
failing to negotiate with the opposition.The reason for al-Bashir’s
visit was not immediately clear. But with the war in Syria winding down
in favor of Assad as his troops recapture key cities and population
centers, some Arab officials have expressed interest in exploring the
restoration of ties.In October, Assad told a little-known Kuwaiti
newspaper that Syria had reached a “major understanding” with Arab
states after years of hostility. He did not name the Arab countries in
the interview, which was his first with a Gulf paper since the war
erupted, but he said Arab and Western delegations had begun visiting
Syria to prepare for the reopening of diplomatic and other missions.The
interview came on the heels of a surprisingly warm meeting between the
Syrian foreign minister and his Bahraini counterpart on the sidelines of
the UN General Assembly in September in New York. The meeting turned
heads because it featured hugs between the two ministers.The encounter
raised questions about whether the Gulf countries, most of them sworn
enemies of Assad ally Iran, are reconsidering their relations with
Syria.The Syrian state news agency SANA quoted the Sudanese president as
saying during the meeting with Assad that he hopes Syria will recover
its important role in the region as soon as possible. He also affirmed
Sudan’s readiness to provide all that it can to support Syria’s
territorial integrity.SANA said Assad thanked al-Bashir for his visit,
asserting that it will give strong momentum for restoring relations
between the two countries “to the way it was before the war on
Syria.”Photographs transmitted by SANA showed the two leaders shaking
hands at the airport in front of a Russian plane that appears to have
brought al-Bashir to Syria. Russia, a key ally of Assad, maintains an
airbase southeast of the Syrian city of Latakia.Al-Bashir has been
Sudan’s leader since 1989 and is wanted by the International Criminal
Court in the Netherlands to face war crimes charges stemming from a
conflict in his own country.
AG: Bill to expel terrorists’
families infringes human rights, defames Israel-Mandelblit announces
official opposition to legislation that would forcibly relocate
relatives of Palestinian attackers to other areas of West Bank-By Raoul
Wootliff-TOI-20 December 2018
Attorney General Avichai
Mandelblit announced Monday his official opposition to a bill that would
allow the forcible relocation of the families of Palestinian terrorists
from their homes, warning that the proposal could infringe on human
rights and spark international condemnation of Israel.As part of a
series of measures targeting Palestinian perpetrators of attacks, the
Ministerial Committee for Legislation voted Sunday to advance a bill by
Jewish Home MK Moti Yogev that would permit the IDF’s Central Command to
expel the relatives of Palestinian assailants from their hometowns to
other parts of the West Bank within a week of an attack or attempted
attack.The explanatory text accompanying the bill lauds Israel’s
deterrence as “the cornerstone of Israeli security and a way to save
lives and uphold law and order.”In a statement released following press
queries on whether Mandelblit had advised ministers not to vote to
advance the bill, the attorney general’s office said the measures in the
proposal “severely infringe upon the liberty and property of the family
members who are slated for deportation, due to the act of another
family member and without proof that [the family] also poses a
danger.”According to Mandelblit, the current law allows for Israel to
“assign a place of residence” to Palestinians citizens “only if there is
a specific threat from that person… and after examining the
proportionality” of expelling them from their home.“There is therefore a
constitutional impediment to advancing the proposed legislation,” the
statement said.“The proposal also raises significant challenges on the
international level,” it added, referring to potential blowback from
passing the law.The Jewish Home party said on Sunday that the bill was
approved by ministers after a “lengthy and complicated” debate in the
high-level security cabinet “despite the opposition of the judicial
authorities.”The statement from the attorney general’s office noted that
“arguments suggesting that the position of the attorney general harms
state security are entirely baseless.”Speaking at his Likud party’s
faction meeting at the Knesset shortly after Mandelblit’s statement,
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told lawmakers that he favored the
expulsion of terrorists from their homes, though he did not mention
their families.“Expulsion of terrorists is an effective tool. In my
opinion, its benefit exceeds its damage,” Netanyahu said, according to
Likud party sources. “The jurists say that this is contrary to the
accepted legal process, and this will certainly be challenged later on,
but I have no doubt about the effectiveness of this tool.”Jewish Home
chairman Naftali Bennett praised the decision of the Ministerial
Committee for Legislation on Sunday, saying, “Jews are murdered because
participation in terror attacks has become a lucrative business, and
legal considerations paralyze the defense establishment from acting.”The
comments followed recent arguments by Bennett that the army has become
too concerned with the legalities of war to fight effectively. At a
Sunday morning rally calling for a tougher response to recent terror
attacks in the West Bank, Bennett claimed that a consequence of that
concern was Israel’s failure to destroy the homes of terrorists
immediately after attacks are committed.Coalition sources told The Times
of Israel that in addition to the opposition voiced by Mandelblit,
security officials expressed reservations about the measure in the
security cabinet meeting, including the head of the Shin Bet security
service, Nadav Argamon, who said the proposal would do little to
increase Israel’s deterrence.The committee nonetheless voted to grant
coalition support for the bill, meaning that coalition members would be
obliged to support it in all further readings in the Knesset, but there
was no decision about when an initial vote would take place. Since the
proposal was a private member’s bill and not official government
legislation, it will require an initial vote in the Knesset plenary
before three additional readings.Bennett had called last week for the
bill to be advanced in the wake of a spate of terror attacks this week
that killed two IDF soldiers and a baby born prematurely after his
mother was shot, and injured nine other Israelis.Bennett had tried to
bring the same expulsion legislation to a committee vote at the
beginning of November but it was put off. “The Palestinian terrorist
must understand that violence doesn’t pay and the State of Israel will
settle the score,” he said at the time. “Deporting the families to
another area will improve deterrence and send the message to the
Palestinian public: There is zero tolerance for terrorism.”The proposed
legislation comes after years in which the government sought to advance a
bill to expel terrorists’ families to the Gaza Strip. Supported by
Netanyahu, the proposal in 2016 received wide backing within the
coalition, including from Kulanu party leader Moshe Kahlon, as well as
from the opposition’s Yesh Atid party leader Yair Lapid.A number of
other measures used by Israel as deterrent measures, such as home
demolitions, closing off hometowns of attackers, and revoking work
permits, have been criticized as a form of collective punishment. Israel
says the measures are necessary as disincentives to terrorism.Times of
Israel staff contributed to this report.

21
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not
give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and
obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
23 And after the league made with
him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become
strong with a small people.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the
fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers
have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the
prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices
against the strong holds, even for a time.

Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.

the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was
intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 And the
children (2 NATIONS IN HER-ISRAEL-ARABS) struggled together within her;
and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the
LORD.
23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb,
and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels;(ISRAEL AND
THE ARABS) and the one people shall be stronger than the other

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1
The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which
stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth,
and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make
Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they
shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And
in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people:
all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all
the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that
day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his
rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah,
and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
ISAIAH 28:14-19 (THIS IS THE 7 YR TREATY COVENANT OF DANIEL 9:27)
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell
are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through,
it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under
falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord
GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a
precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not
make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and
righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge
of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your
covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell
shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then
ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth
it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and
by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

Abbas, Jordan king raps Israeli response to uptick in violence-As spate
of West Bank terror attacks prompts Israeli crackdown, King Abdullah
says international community should ‘exert all forms of pressure on
Israel to halt these measures’-By Adam Rasgon-TOI-DEC 20,18
Jordanian
King Abdullah II accused Israel of carrying out an “escalation” of
hostilities against the Palestinians on Tuesday while hosting
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Amman, Jordan’s
state-run Petra news agency reported.A string of terror attacks in the
West Bank and Jerusalem last week resulted in the deaths of two Israeli
soldiers and a baby boy as well as the injuries of several other
Israelis. The baby was prematurely delivered after his pregnant mother
was shot in one of the terror attacks.In the wake of the attacks and
amid manhunts for the suspects, Israeli security forces killed the
alleged gunman from October’s deadly terror attack in the Barkan
industrial zone and partially demolished his home, and killed the
Palestinian man believed to have been behind the shooting which led to
the baby’s death. They have also raided Ramallah several times and
demolished the home of a Palestinian accused of killing an Israeli
soldier in May.Last Wednesday, security forces shot dead the suspected
gunmen behind the baby’s death in a village near Ramallah after he tried
to attack them, according to the Shin Bet security service.Late
Thursday, security forces also shot dead the alleged gunman from the
Barkan attack after he opened fire on them, the Shin Bet said.Meanwhile,
settlers have lobbed rocks at Palestinians driving along Route 60, the
West Bank’s main thoroughfare, and in some cases, targeted homes in
Palestinian villages.In the meeting with Abbas at the Basman Palace in
Amman, Abdullah emphasized that the international community should
pressure Israel to halt its actions, the Petra report added.“His majesty
stressed the necessity that the international community bears its
responsibilities regarding the Israeli escalation and exert all forms of
pressure on Israel to halt these measures that will only lead to more
violence,” the report said.Petra did not report any criticism by
Abdullah of the terror attacks against Israelis last week.— RHC (@RHCJO)
December 18, 2018-Hussein al-Sheikh, a top PA official, told Palestine
TV, the official PA television channel, on Monday that Jordan and Egypt
had exerted pressure on Israel to stop “the dangerous escalation” in the
West Bank.Sheikh met Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman and other senior
Israeli security officials on Monday to examine ways to lower tensions
in the West Bank, the Kan public broadcaster reported on the same day,
citing Palestinian sources.Sheikh told Palestine TV Palestinian and
Israeli officials had held a meeting Monday, without disclosing
names.“We sent a very clear message that the dangerous escalation
targeting the occupied lands is unacceptable for us and that we will not
stand by idly in the face of this dangerous escalation targeting our
cities, villages and refugee camps,” he said, adding that the “behavior”
of the IDF and settlers was “massacring” existing agreements between
Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization.During his meeting with
Abbas, Abdullah also affirmed “the need to break the stalemate in the
peace process” by launching “serious and effective negotiations” between
Israel and the Palestinians on the basis of the two-state solution.The
last round of known peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians fell
apart in May 2014. US President Donald Trump’s administration is
working on a peace plan, which is expected to be released early next
year.
Haley: Trump peace plan more thoughtful, creative,
specific than past efforts-Upcoming initiative ‘takes advantage of new
technology,’ embraces ‘previously unthinkable’ realities, says outgoing
UN envoy-By Agencies and TOI staff-DEC 20,18
The outgoing
US ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, on Tuesday called on
Israelis and Palestinians to back a US peace plan to be unveiled in
early 2019, saying it was far more “thoughtful” and creative than any
that have come before.Without revealing details of the plan, drawn up by
US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, Haley said it was
far longer than past proposals and included elements that would have
previously been “unthinkable.”“Unlike previous attempts at addressing
this conflict, this plan is not just a few pages, containing unspecific
and unimaginative guidelines,” said Haley, who is due to leave her post
at the end of December.“It is much longer. It contains much more
thoughtful detail. It brings new elements to the discussion, taking
advantage of the new world of technology we now live in,” she told a
regular session of the Security Council on the Middle East.“It embraces
the reality that things can be done today that were previously
unthinkable,” she added. “It recognizes that realities on the ground in
the Middle East have changed, and changed in very powerful and important
ways.“The critical question is whether the response will be any
different. There are things in the plan that every party will like, and
there are things in the plan that every party will not like,” said
Haley, who will be replaced by State Department spokeswoman Heather
Nauert.Haley said that if countries focus solely on parts of the plan
that they do not like, “we would return back to the failed status quo of
the last fifty years with no prospects for change.”But she said, “I
assure you there is a lot for both sides to like.”She said that “both
sides would benefit greatly from a peace agreement, but the Palestinians
would benefit more, and the Israelis would risk more.”Her comments were
met with a measured response from European states, who said they “would
like to reiterate once more and emphasize the EU’s strong continued
commitment to the internationally agreed parameters” — which include a
two-state solution along the 1967 armistice lines and a settlement of
the status of Jerusalem, claimed by both sides as their capital.“Any
peace plan that fails to recognize these internationally agreed
parameters would risk being condemned to failure,” the EU states said in
a statement.The Trump administration angered many in the diplomatic
community when it moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem this
year after recognizing the city as Israel’s capital in December 2017,
prompting the Palestinians to break off talks with Washington.The US
administration has cut more than $500 million in Palestinian aid since
the start of the Palestinian boycott.The Palestinians claim East
Jerusalem as the capital of their future state. International consensus
has been that Jerusalem’s status must be negotiated between the two
sides.Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and lawyer Jason Greenblatt, who
have led efforts to draft the plan, traveled to the region several times
for talks on the proposals.Greenblatt said in an October interview with
The Times of Israel that the plan would “be heavily focused on Israeli
security needs” while remaining “fair to the Palestinians.”
Arab
League urges Australia, Brazil to change stance on Jerusalem-Both
countries had promised to take steps to recognize the city as Israel’s
capital; Brazil’s Bolsonaro had promised to move the nation’s embassy-By
AFP and TOI staff-DEC 20,18
CAIRO, Egypt — The Arab
League on Tuesday adopted a resolution calling on Australia and Brazil
to “abide by international law” concerning the status of Jerusalem.It
comes after Brazil’s president-elect Jair Bolsonaro announced in
November his intention to move his country’s embassy in Israel from Tel
Aviv to Jerusalem.And on Saturday Australia announced its recognition of
West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, although an embassy shift from Tel
Aviv will not occur until a peace settlement is achieved.The Arab League
decided Tuesday to dispatch a “high-ranking delegation” to Brazil and
Australia to inform officials there of the need to “abide by
international law” concerning Jerusalem.The decision was taken at an
extraordinary meeting at the League’s Cairo headquarters attended by
delegates from member countries.Israel won control Jerusalem’s eastern
half in the 1967 Six Day War and later annexed it, declaring the entire
city its “eternal and indivisible capital,” in a move not recognized by
most of the international community. Palestinians claim the eastern part
as the capital of a future Palestinian state.In December, the US
administration of President Donald Trump decided to move the American
embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and declared it recognized Israel’s
capital as Jerusalem.The embassy was transferred in May in a move that
sparked outrage in much of the Arab world.The Palestinian leadership has
slammed Australia and Brazil over their plans.The Arab League also
called on the UN Security Council to “assume its responsibilities by
putting pressure on Israel… and stop its aggression against the
Palestinian people.”
