Peres: Peace Talks Are Paused - Not Finished-Despite the failure of peace talks, President Peres remains ever optimistic that they will resume.-By Elad Benari-First Publish: 5/14/2014, 5:42 AM-IsraelNationalNews

Despite the recent failure of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA), President Shimon Peres said Tuesday that he hoped for a return to talks."The negotiations with the Palestinians, led by Secretary (of State John) Kerry, are currently paused but they are not finished," he told a press conference in Oslo, according to AFP."Neither side has a better alternative than peace based upon two states for two peoples. I hope that the negotiations will be re-started," he said.Kerry re-launched the peace negotiations in July 2013, and they came to an inconclusive end on April 29.Israel had pulled out of the talks in response to a Hamas-Fatah unity agreement, which would see the Hamas terrorist group forming a unity government with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’s movement.Peres, who engineered the Oslo Accords in the 1990s, has always remained optimistic that a peace agreement could be reached. In fact, he made similar comments to reporters on Monday, saying, "You need two to tango, but you also need appropriate music for it.""You do not start negotiations with friends, but rather to administer moves to make friends out of your enemies," said Peres.Last week Peres told Channel 2 News that three years ago he had reached an agreement with Abbas, with whom he had been talking at the request of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Peres also said that Netanyahu ultimately backed down from the deal.Officials in the Prime Minister’s Office later denied that what Peres said was true, saying that "Abbas never agreed to anything. Back then as well he just wanted to receive without giving anything in return.”

Israel's Vatican Envoy Denies Deal Over King David's Tomb-Israeli ambassador to the Vatican the latest to join in the chorus of government voices denying a deal.-Share on facebook Share on twitter -By AFP and Arutz Sheva Staff-First Publish: 5/14/2014, 7:20 PM-IsraelNationalNews

Israel said it had "no intention" of giving the Vatican sovereignty over King David's Tomb in Jerusalem, AFP reports Wednesday, after hundreds of hareidi Jews protested at the site ahead of Pope Francis's visit later this month."Contrary to rumors in Israel, there is no intention to transfer to the Vatican sovereignty or ownership on the Tomb of David or the Cenacle," Israel's ambassador to the Vatican, Zion Evrony, said in a speech obtained on Wednesday.The Cenacle is the reputed scene of Jesus's last supper, which is built in the same building as King David's Tomb. The pope is planning to hold a mass on the site on Mount Zion near the walls of the Old City.The site is currently part of long-running negotiations over Holy Land property between Israel and the Vatican, which has hoped to be given the right to use the site.Israeli officials have continuously denied an upcoming deal, however. Last month, an Israeli diplomatic source told Arutz Sheva that the Israeli government has no intention of transferring control over the site to the Church; those claims were reiterated Sunday, by the office of the Sephardi Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef. Site transfer or no site transfer? However, Rabbi Yaakov Sevilia, an activist for King David's Tomb, told Arutz Sheva that there is a deal in the works - which would see David's Tomb given to Christians, and the Temple Mount to Muslims. He cited journalist Gulio Meotti, who contributes regularly to Arutz Sheva, as the source for this knowledge.MK Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) has also written a stern letter to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu over the issue, noting its political significance in terms of Israel's history and heritage. "It is inconceivable that this place will be transferred to foreign hands, so that the Torahs and the Star of David will be swallowed in a sea of crosses," the Deputy Minister wrote. ''Transferring the rights to the gravesite of David to Christian hands would be similar to Moshe Dayan's decision to entrust the keys to the Temple Mount to the Jordanian Waqf."Rabbi Simcha HaCohen Kook, Rabbi of Rehovot and member of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, warned recently that the government relinquishing David's Tomb to the Vatican would be a "national disgrace." He added that the issue has incredible religious implications. "Who knows if this could cause a wave of conversions [to Catholicism]?" he continued. "What will happen in the World to Come when we have to testify [before G-d] and say that we lived in a generation which handed over King David's Tomb? A government who does such a thing is forbidden to belong to the people of Israel, this is an anti-Israeli government."

Israel denies sovereignty deal with Vatican on holy site-Zion Evrony, ambassador to the Vatican, says Israel has ‘no intention’ of ceding Jerusalem’s Tomb of David or the Cenacle-By AFP and Times of Israel staff May 14, 2014, 8:07 pm-The Times of Israel

Israel said it had “no intention” of giving the Vatican sovereignty over a sensitive holy site in Jerusalem, in the wake of protests by ultra-Orthodox Jews ahead of Pope Francis’s visit this month.“Contrary to rumors in Israel, there is no intention to transfer to the Vatican sovereignty or ownership on the Tomb of David or the Cenacle,” Israel’s ambassador to the Vatican, Zion Evrony, said in a speech obtained on Wednesday.On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman also dispelled rumors of a deal during the pope’s upcoming visit.“The State of Israel has no intention of signing with the Vatican, during the pope’s coming visit, on an agreement to transfer the responsibility of sites like these or others, or other gestures,” Liberman said.The Cenacle is the reputed scene of Jesus’s last supper, and the pope is planning to hold a mass on the site on Mount Zion near the walls of the Old City.Jews revere the site as the tomb of Kind David, which is on the ground floor of the same building. It is also important for Muslims.The site is currently part of long-running negotiations over Holy Land property between Israel and the Vatican, which hopes to be given the right to use the site.Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox Jews on Monday held a protest near the site, demanding that Israel retain sovereignty. They are also planning another demonstration on May 22 — just three days before Pope Francis arrives.Francis is traveling to Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian territories between May 24 and 26.President Shimon Peres told an Italian newspaper during a visit to the Vatican last year that a compromise had been reached on the Cenacle, and that “99 percent” of the issues concerning the site had been addressed.

6  Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury,(OF MY ANGER) because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,( ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB) and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)

US military drones being used over Nigeria
By LOLITA C. BALDOR - MAY 14,14-YahooNews


WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon says the U.S. is using surveillance drones to aid in the search for the kidnapped Nigerian girls, and almost 300 Marines have been moved to a naval air station in Sicily in response to the growing unrest in Africa.A senior U.S. official says at least one Global Hawk surveillance drone is in use, in addition to manned MC-12 aircraft.The official was not authorized to talk publicly about the types of drones and discussed the matter on condition of anonymity.Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren says the Marines were moved from a special task force in Spain to Sicily at the State Department's request.They're mainly there to respond to the deteriorating security in Africa.

Israel kept Russian missile ship from docking in Haifa-Concerns raised over tarnishing neutrality in Ukraine crisis and possibile attempts at espionage-By Stuart Winer May 14, 2014, 2:45 pm 9-The Times of Israel
Israel refused to let a Russian missile ship dock in Haifa’s naval base because of fears it would appear to be siding with Moscow over the Ukraine crisis — and because of the possibility that the Russian visitors would attempt some espionage on the side.The mid-April incident was handled by National Security Adviser Yossi Cohen in consultation with the IDF, the Shin Bet internal security service, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon and the Foreign Ministry, the Haaretz daily reported on Wednesday.An unnamed government source said that authorities were unanimous in turning down a request from Moscow to allow the ship to anchor in the Israeli port. Officials feared that the sight of a Russian naval vessel docked in Israel would be perceived as backing Russia in its activities in Ukraine, thus irking Washington.The US was already disappointed in Israel for not backing a United Nations condemnation of Russia’s involvement in Crimea that was put to the vote two and half months ago, the official explained.During a meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said that the ship was denied entry because Israel wants to maintain good ties with the US, Russia, and Ukraine.Haaretz reported that the Shin Bet objected to the Russian ship because it might be used to spy on Israel. The concerns were fueled by suspicions that a Russian naval ship that docked in Israel last year was also attempting espionage. That ship came to Israel during celebrations to mark 68 years since Victory Day, when Russia marks the surrender of Nazi Germany in World War II.Over the past few weeks, the Ukrainian government and the West have accused Russia of trying to destabilize Ukraine or create a pretext for another invasion. Russia — which annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula just days after voters there approved secession in a March referendum — has rejected the accusations.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Netanyahu: Iran, North Korea sharing nuclear technology-Prime minister makes case for Japan to pressure Tehran, says nuclear deal will only be diversionary tactic before attack on Israel-By AFP May 14, 2014, 8:07 am-The Times of Israel

TOKYO – Iran is sharing nuclear technology with North Korea, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview published Wednesday, as Tehran and world powers hold talks aimed at ending a decade-old standoff.Netanyahu, who is in Japan this week for talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida and other officials, said Iran “would share whatever technology it acquired with North Korea,” the Mainichi Shimbun reported in a front-page piece.Asked if Pyongyang is receiving technologies linked to nuclear and missile development from Iran, Netanyahu said: “Yes, that’s exactly the case.”In a separate interview with Japanese broadcaster NHK aired Tuesday, Netanyahu said Iran would use a nuclear deal with world powers as a diversionary tactic to shift world attention before attacking Israel.“They say that they would reduce production of uranium, but they increase production of centrifuges. It is as if they are acquiring express trains for development of nuclear weapons,” he said, according to an English translation of a Japanese voice-over of his comments provided by the Prime Minister’s Office.North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile program is one of Japan’s major security concerns.Despite international isolation and extensive sanctions, North Korea appears to be readying to carry out a fourth nuclear test, observers have said, and regularly makes noises about the weaponization of its technology.While being at the leading edge of Pyongyang’s isolation, resource-poor Japan has maintained friendly relations with oil-rich Iran through its years of ostracism, keeping up a diplomatic dialogue that many developed countries cut off decades ago.Late Tuesday, during a meeting with Kishida, Netanyahu called both Iran and North Korea “rogue” states.“We see a danger and a challenge posed by a rogue state arming itself with nuclear weapons. In your case it’s North Korea,” he said.“We are faced with such a rogue state in the form of Iran and its quest to develop nuclear weapons,” he said.“Iran continues to deceive the world and advance its nuclear program,” he said, adding “Clearly the Ayatollahs cannot be trusted.”“And if the international community wants to avoid the specter of nuclear terrorism, they must assure that Iran… not have the capability to develop nuclear weapons,” he said.Kishida however “stressed…the importance of support by the international community including Israel to the framework of talks” between Iran and five UN nuclear powers plus Germany, the foreign ministry said in a statement.Abe also made a similar comment on Monday.Tehran insists its nuclear program is intended only for civilian purposes.Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany are meeting in Vienna for a latest round of talks aimed at drafting the text of a comprehensive and potentially historic deal.An accord would see Tehran’s atomic program drastically reduced, and sanctions lifted on its lifeblood oil exports in return.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report

Hamas to Approve 'Unity' Government-Fatah-Hamas government to be established only with Hamas's 'parliamentary' approval, Haniyeh says. Will the terror group have full control?-Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on email Share on print More Sharing Services 3-By Arutz Sheva Staff-First Publish: 5/14/2014, 6:33 PM-IsraelNationalNews

A 'unity' government between Hamas and Fatah may well be established by the end of May - but only if the Hamas "parliament" approves the move first, Ismail Haniyeh said Wednesday. "Any government that does not obtain the confidence of the parliament will have no constitutional legality, and Fatah and Hamas have agreed on this," Haniyeh said in a speech to lawmakers in Gaza.  "The legislative council (parliament) will also monitor the consensus government's work," he said.On Tuesday, senior Fatah official Azzam al-Ahmed announced that he would be visiting Gaza to establish the unity government, which PLO officials estimated will be established by the end of the month. The Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas are to form an "independent government" of technocrats according to the deal. However, the chances of true reconciliation between the rival groups remains in doubt.A senior PA official on Sunday said that PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas told US National Security Adviser Susan Rice last week that Hamas will not be part of the unity government, adding that the terror group "does not need" to recognize Israel or renounce terror. Abbas has stated that the unity government will be under his control.Hamas continues to be adamant over its full control of a "unity" government, expressing over and over again that it would remain in control of both Gaza and the PA after elections and insisting that Haniyeh would rule the government. Hamas representatives have already claimed that the PA's police forces will be integrated into Hamas's police in Gaza, less than a week after co-founder Mahmoud Al-Zahar angrily denied allowing Hamas to be integrated into the PA side of law enforcement. Concerns have been raised about the international community's response to a Hamas-control government, as the EU has expressed support for the pact - fully convinced that Abbas, not Haniyeh, will take the lead. "The EU expects any new government to uphold the principle of non-violence, to remain committed to achieving a two-state solution and to a negotiated peaceful settlement ... including Israel's legitimate right to exist," EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton insisted last month. Ashton urged Israel and the PA to resume peace talks despite the pact - based, on Abbas's "reliability" in comparison to Hamas's."The fact that President Abbas will remain fully in charge of the negotiation process and have a mandate to negotiate in the name of all Palestinians provides further assurance that the peace negotiations can and must proceed," she claimed.

05/13/2014 - VATICAN INSIDER-Three American bishops in Qom to promote dialogue between US and Iran-Bombs on board the US aircraft carrier "Lincoln" (2008)-A delegation of US bishops paid a four day visit to Qom to meet with ayatollahs, right in the spiritual heart of the Shiite world. Their aim was to thaw frozen relations between Washington and Teheran-Giorgio Bernardelli
Rome-A four-day trip to Qom to promote greater understanding between Americans and Iranians. This was the purpose of the unique mission launched by a delegation of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, led by three bishops: the President  of the Commission for Justice and Peace; the Bishop of Des Moines, Richard Pates; the Archbishop Emeritus of Washington, Cardinal Theodor McCarrick, and Mgr. Denis Madde, Auxiliary Bishop of Baltimore and President of the US Ecumenism and Interfaith Dialogue Commission.The visit comes as a great surprise given Teheran has long viewed America as “the Great Satan”. After the famous abduction of the group of diplomats from the US Embassy back in 1979, it was only last September that an official meeting took place between the US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iran’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Mohammad Zarif, at the end of the UN General Assembly in new York. This was a sign of the change in climate favoured by the presidency of the moderate Hassan Rouhani. But this does not mean that relations between the two countries are now normalized.The USCCB delegation’s trip to Iran took place in March but the news only came out yesterday. The University of Maryland also played an important role in organizing the visit. The Supreme Council of the Seminary Teachers of Qom hosted the meetings with the US bishops who also met with Ayatollah Morteza Moghtadaei, Vice President of the influential Shiite academic centre, and the Grand Ayatollah, Javadi Amoli, amongst others.“We had a productive religious and moral dialogue that we hope will promote understanding between the peoples of Iran and the United States. We are committed to continuing and deepening these discussions in the future in order to contribute to a more just and peaceful world. As Pope Francis has said, dialogue is the key to discovering truth and avoiding misunderstanding,” said Bishop Pates.It is worth noting that the Seminary Teachers of Qom have also been engaged in dialogue with the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue for some time now. Another Iranian ayatollah, Mostafa Ahmadabadi, was invited to attend the Synod for the Middle East, where he gave a speech. Cardinal Jean Louis Tauran visited the important Shiite institution in 2010. Another meeting between the Iranian Centre for Interreligious Dialogue and its Vatican counterpart is set to take place in Qom, in October 2014.

Russia to Ban US From Space Station in Sanctions Retaliation
Tuesday, 13 May 2014 05:32 PM-Newsmax

Russia cast doubt on the long-term future of the International Space Station, a showcase of post-Cold War cooperation, as it retaliated on Tuesday against U.S. sanctions over Ukraine.Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said Moscow would reject a U.S. request to prolong the orbiting station's use beyond 2020. It will also bar Washington from using Russian-made rocket engines to launch military satellites.Moscow took the action, which also included suspending operation of GPS satellite navigation system sites on its territory from June, in response to U.S. plans to deny export licenses for high-technology items that could help the Russian military."We are very concerned about continuing to develop high-tech projects with such an unreliable partner as the United States, which politicizes everything," Rogozin told a news conference.Washington wants to keep the $100 billion, 15 nation space station project in use until at least 2024, four years beyond the previous target.Moscow's plan to part ways on a project which was supposed to end the "space race" underlines how relations between the former Cold War rivals have deteriorated since Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea region in March.Since the end of the  Space Shuttle project, Russian Soyuz spacecraft have been the only way U.S. astronauts can get to the space station, whose crews include mostly Americans and Russians, as well as visitors from other countries.At a time when Moscow is struggling to reform its accident-plagued space program, Rogozin said U.S. plans to deny export licenses for some high-technology items were a blow to Russian industry. "These sanctions are out of place and inappropriate," Rogozin said. "We have enough of our own problems."Moscow's response would affect NK-33 and RD-180 engines which Russia supplies to the United States, Rogozin said. "We are ready to deliver these engines but on one condition that they will not be used to launch military satellites," he said.RD-180 engines are used to boost Atlas 5 rockets manufactured by United Launch Alliance (ULA), a partnership of Lockheed Martin and Boeing that holds a virtual monopoly on launching U.S. military satellites.ULA on Tuesday said it was not yet aware of any restrictions and hopes talks will resolve any issues that do arise. It added that it can use other launch vehicles and has a two-year supply of engines to smooth over any transition."ULA and our Department of Defense customers have always prepared contingency plans in the event of a supply disruption," ULA spokeswoman Jessica Rye said in a statement.Rogozin said Moscow was planning "strategic changes" in its space industry after 2020 and aims to use money and "intellectual resources" that now go to the space station for a "a project with more prospects".He suggested Russia could use the station without the United States, saying: "The Russian segment can exist independently from the American one. The U.S. one cannot."The U.S. space agency NASA is working with companies to develop space taxis with the goal of restoring U.S. transport to the station by 2017. The United States currently pays Russia more than $60 million per person to fly its astronauts up.Rogozin said Russia will suspend the operation of 11 GPS sites on its territory from June and seek talks with Washington on opening similar sites in the United States for Russia's own satellite navigation system, Glonass.He threatened the permanent closure of the GPS sites in Russia if that is not agreed by September. Rogozin said the suspension of the sites would not affect everyday operations of the GPS system in Russia, where it is used by millions of Russians for navigation on their smartphones and in their cars.The upheaval in Ukraine — where the United States says Russia is backing separatists and the Kremlin accuses Washington of helping protesters to topple a Moscow-friendly president in February, has led to the worst East-West crisis since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.In addition to the high-tech sector sanctions, the United States has imposed visa bans and assets freezes on officials and lawmakers and targeted companies with links to President Vladimir Putin. The European Union has also imposed sanctions.The Russian Foreign Ministry said earlier on Tuesday that the latest EU measures were an "exhausted, trite approach" that would only deepen discord and hamper efforts to defuse the crisis in Ukraine.

Turkey-Israel deal reached, awaits Netanyahu’s approval’-Lifting Gaza blockade, originally a key demand from Ankara, will not be part of normalization agreement, source says-By Raphael Ahren May 14, 2014, 5:47 pm 2-The Times of Israel

A deal to end the four-year-old feud between Turkey and Israel is imminent and could be signed as soon as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returns from his trip to Japan, The Times of Israel has learned.Jerusalem and Ankara agree on all outstanding issues that thus far have stood in the way of an agreement to fully restore bilateral ties to their pre-Gaza flotilla level, a knowledgeable source told The Times of Israel. Now it is up to Netanyahu to make a final decision to approve the deal, the source said.The first step in a gradual reconciliation would be the immediate exchange of ambassadors. The deal also includes a $20 million compensation package for the families of nine Turks who died aboard the Gaza-bound Mavi Marmara in May 2010 during an Israeli commando raid to stop the vessel. However, the agreement will not mention any change to Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip, according to the source, who asked to remain unnamed due to the sensitive nature of the issue. Top officials in Ankara have repeatedly insisted that lifting the blockade is a key condition that needs to be fulfilled before ties can be re-normalized.“The Turks are seeking to sign the deal with greater urgency than the Israelis do,” the source said, adding that the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan would be ready to send an ambassador to Tel Aviv “the day after the agreement is signed.” After every prolonged conflict, “some suspicions” are sure to remain on both sides, but by and large Turkey is interested in restoring ties with Israel – “and they want it fast,” the source said.After ErdoÄŸan’s Justice and Development Party, or AKP, landed a decisive victory in local elections earlier this year – which he characterized as a national referendum on his leadership — ErdoÄŸan feels “strong enough” to agree to closer ties with Israel, the source said.As opposed to some who believe that Turkey, under ErdoÄŸan, is orienting itself toward radical Islam and away from the West, some Israeli Turkey experts believe that Ankara does not seek to be seen as overly affiliated with groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood. Furthermore, ErdoÄŸan and Foreign Minister Ahmet DavutoÄŸlu have in recent months refrained from making anti-Semitic and anti-Israel statements — a noteworthy development after a string of such comments last year raised eyebrows worldwide (for example, Turkish leaders blamed Israel for anti-government activity in their country and in Egypt, and made crass anti-Semitic statements).Pressured by the US, ErdoÄŸan also canceled his planned visit to Gaza last summer, another sign that Ankara is interested in improving its relationship with Jerusalem, the source said. “The Turks don’t owe us anything. They actually have some leverage over us, regarding the Marmara and Gaza. But still, they’re interested in cooperating with us.”Turkey wants to be a regional power and shares, more or less, Israel’s views on issues such as the Iranian nuclear threat and the Syrian civil war. Ankara is also keen on extending economic ties with Israel, including the export of natural gas, the source said.On April 27, ErdoÄŸan said that a deal leading to “normalization” with Israel was “a matter of weeks.” Last week, DavutoÄŸlu said that talks between the two countries had reached “a certain level” and that “problems have been substantially overcome.” However, he said that Ankara would only agree to normalize relations after Jerusalem lifted “restrictions on the whole of Palestine, including Gaza,” something the Israeli source said was not part of the deal the two sides agreed to.On Wednesday, the Israeli embassy canceled a planned reception celebrating Israel’s 66th Independence Day due to the coal mine accident in western Turkey, which claimed the live of hundreds of workers. “The State and people of Israel share the grief of the Turkish people, pay condolences to the families of the deceased, wish speedy recovery for the wounded and hope for positive news from the ones still in the mine,” embassy spokesman Nizar Amer said in a statement.Israel also offered assistance to Turkey, but authorities in Ankara have yet to respond to the offer.President Shimon Peres also sent a letter of condolence to his Turkish counterpart, Abdullah Gul.“I wish to extend my deepest condolences, and those of the people of Israel, to your country on the tragic accident in Manisa,” Peres wrote, according to a statement from the President’s Residence. “We are all shocked at the loss of life of innocent people at work and our thoughts are with the people of Turkey. At times of tragedy we must all do what we can to help one another and we have offered Turkey whatever assistance you require at this time.“From the Holy Land the people of Israel pray for the victims, their families, for the rescue of those still trapped and the full recovery of the injured. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and those of the people of Israel.”

Power struggle looms after EU vote
12.05.14 @ 09:12-By Honor Mahony and Valentina Pop


BRUSSELS - In just over three week's time the European elections will be over but a new process will have just begun – an immense power struggle between the EU  institutions.EU council chief Van Rompuy is set to have lengthy negotiations on the name of the next commission president (Photo: Council of European Union) It will involve two different approaches on how to interpret the results. This will in turn affect who should become the next European Commission president.The European Parliament believes the post should go to either the top candidate of the political party that wins the most votes or to the candidate who can get a majority among the groups.There are six in total including Jean-Claude Juncker for the centre-right, Martin Schulz for the centre-left, Guy Verhofstadt for the liberals, Jose Bove and Ska Keller for the Greens and leftist Alexis Tsipras.The candidates see themselves as real contenders. EU leaders, on the other hand, see them useful for raising interest in the vote and nothing more.Member states want to be free to choose someone else entirely for the commission post, as a "package deal" with the two other top posts – European Council president and the foreign affairs chief – and possibly also including the successor to Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem, whose mandate ends next year.Both sides look to the treaty for validation.The treaty says that EU  leaders have to take into account the result of the election when choosing someone for the post. MEPs took inspiration from the wording to create presidential contenders for the major parties.Both sides also feel they have the democracy argument on their side.EU leaders note that they are democratically elected representatives choosing a president; the parliament says that its way will reflect voters' wishes.

Balance of power

At heart is a good old-fashioned power struggle between EU institutions.Klaus Welle, Secretary General of the European Parliament, says the EU treaty intended to change the balance of power."How much – that will be played out in the next couple of weeks," he recently told an audience at Brussels' CEPS thinktank.The fact that the vote between the top two parties – the centre-right EPP and the Socialists – is set to be so close is only likely to make the struggle even more intense.To get an agreement on the name, a qualified majority is needed among member states as well as an absolute majority in parliament.It could be that Juncker, for example, gathers the support he needs among member states but cannot muster enough among MEPs.Or that Schulz can get MEPs behind him, but not enough leaders. There are other potentially awkward questions too. What will Germany do? Chancellor Angela Merkel has never liked the whole idea of presidential candidates. But her vice-chancellor Sigmar Gabriel is also leader of the Social-Democrats and, so far, a Schulz supporter. Merkel's grand coalition has not yet agreed on which party colour the next German commissioner should have. A meeting between Merkel and Gabriel is scheduled on the day after the EU election to discuss the matter.The Brussels-based drama will start two days after the results are in, on Tuesday 27 May.In the morning the political group leaders of the outgoing parliament will meet to discuss the results and what to do next. Merkel has signalled she dislikes the idea of having Schulz chair the group leaders' meeting, given that he is one of the top candidates. Instead she wants EPP chairman Joseph Daul to lead the meeting.EU leaders will meet in the afternoon and evening in Brussels. They are expected to "mandate" European Council President Herman Van Rompuy to start the talks with governments and MEPs.Chancellor Merkel has already made clear that the process will take time."There is a meeting of European leaders and heads of government set for May 27, but the decision will not be made on the Tuesday or Wednesday following the elections," she said Saturday."The negotiations will last several weeks," she added.Welle, for his part, takes some pleasure in pointing out how few people know the treaty well. He notes that it says that Van Rompuy has to consult MEPs beforehand and that parliament must then "elect" the president."Treaty language is important."While the consulting is going on, the parliament's political groups will also be forming. By 24 June, all factions are to be set in stone, determining key things such as funding and committee chairs. But also potential voting alliances for the commission president.EU leaders will gather once again in Brussels for their traditional summer summit on 27 June.The parliament will have its constitutive session in the first week of July, electing its own chief on the 1st of the month. The earliest possible date that the European Commission president could be voted on is on 15-16 July. But most think this is unlikely and that the institutional wrangling will still be in full swing at that point.Welle notes that the nomination vote "could" also be in September.Hearings of all commissioner nominees are meant to be in September and the final confirmation vote of the whole Commission in October, when the mandate of the current executive expires.

Democracy claims

Member states view the EP's claims about democracy with a jaundiced eye. They think the parliament is more concerned about power politics. "The EP claims that more democratic legitimacy equals more powers to the EP. But this is not the track record we've seen, with legislation blocked just to assert their power," one EU diplomat said.The source added that among member states, there are several saying that more democracy should come with more powers to national parliaments rather than the European Parliament. Meanwhile EU leaders are unlikely to accept the scenario of having two of the 'Spitzenkand idaten' emerge as the ultimate compromise – Schulz as Commission president and Juncker chairing the European Council. "That would mean the Parliament gets to decide on two posts, not just one," the EU diplomat said.The council's ace up its sleeve if the EP blocks the appointment of the new commission is to accuse it of needless quarrelling at a time when Europe is grappling with the Ukraine crisis.Welle, known as a master political tactician, is rather sanguine about it all.He likens it to the EP announcing it wants to land on Mars. First, MEPs were told they couldn't build a rocket, and then that it would never fly."Now the discussion is: you will not be allowed to land on Mars."

Ukraine to use EU and IMF money to pay for Russian gas
Today @ 09:28-MAY 14,14-By Andrew Rettman


BRUSSELS - Ukraine plans to use EU and IMF money to pay for Russian gas, but will not pay a cent unless Moscow agrees a market price, its authorities say.Its caretaker PM, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, made the point at a meeting with European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso in Brussels on Tuesday (13 May).He said: “We want a deal based on market conditions. If Russia rejects this, we will bring Russia to [an international arbitrage] court in Stockholm. If I’m not mistaken, there’s 20 days left - this is the final call for Russia to sit at the negotiating table.”He noted that Russia’s ultimatum on gas debts is offset by its seizure of Ukrainian energy assets in Crimea last month, worth “tens, if not hundreds, of billions of dollars.” He listed stolen assets as: 2 billion cubic metres of gas in storage vats; two energy firms; onshore and offshore drilling facilities; and offshore gas fields.Ukraine’s ambassador to the EU, Kostyantin Yeliseyev, told EUobserver on Wednesday that no EU or International Monetary Fund (IMF) money will be used to pay Russia’s “political” gas price.“We are not so stupid or naive as to pay this price,” he noted.“The situation is not easy and time is running: We need to start filling our underground storage facilities so that we can ensure transit of [Russian] gas to European countries [in winter],” he added.Russian supplier Gazprom has said it will halt deliveries to Ukraine on 2 June unless it makes a pre-payment of $1.7 billion based on a price of $485 per thousand cubic metres (tcm) - almost twice the amount charged to its EU customers.Last year it offered Ukraine $268.5 per tcm as part of a bailout for its former leader Viktor Yanukovych.But it cancelled the offer when he fell from power and Ukraine resumed preparations to sign a free trade pact with the EU.For its part, the EU on Tuesday signed off a €1.6 billion macro-financial aid package to Ukraine, saying the first part, worth some €600 million, will be disbursed “soon.” The deal comes on top of an IMF bailout tranche of $3.2 billion paid out one week ago.A commission spokesman, Simon O’Connor, noted: “It is aid for the Ukrainian budget to meet its external financing needs, which includes payments in the energy sector.”Barroso told press alongside Yatsenyuk: “Russia, if it wants to be seen as a credible supplier cannot play political games with energy.” He added: “If Russia continues with this kind of behaviour, it will only lead to its further isolation.”The EU is trying to set up a meeting with Ukraine and Russia’s energy ministers before 2 June to solve the gas dispute.It is also taking steps on the broader crisis in Ukraine. Barroso noted that preparations are afoot to sign the free trade pact with Ukraine after elections on 25 May, legally cementing its pro-Western path.EU ministers earlier this week threatened to trigger economic sanctions against Russia if it derails the May vote.Yatsenyuk also said Ukraine’s new president is likely to come to Brussels on his first international trip after the election to sign the trade treaty.The gas row comes amid continued fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine, which saw six Ukrainian soldiers and one rebel killed in an ambush on Tuesday.The US the same day released fresh satellite footage showing that Russian President Vladimir Putin did not make good on his promise to move troops away from the Ukrainian border.“Russia will fail to make Ukraine a failed state,” Yatsenyuk said in the EU capital.

California fire crews hold line against San Diego blaze-A firefighter battles the Ranch Fire near San Diego-MAY 14,14-YahooNews

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - California fire crews, helped by diminished overnight winds, made substantial headway by early Wednesday against a blaze that had prompted thousands of evacuations in and around San Diego for several hours while flames were at their peak.Crews managed to establish containment lines around 25 percent of the fire's perimeter by daybreak Wednesday, with all evacuation orders lifted since Tuesday night, and area schools closed due to the blaze reopened, fire officials said.Since erupting late on Tuesday morning, the fire has scorched more than 1,500 acres of brush, stoked by triple-digit temperatures, low humidity and winds that gusted to 25 miles per hour.Winds abated late on Tuesday, enabling firefighters to gain ground against the flames with help from water-dropping aircraft, but fire teams faced a potentially difficult second day."We're very worried about today," said Lee Swanson, a spokeswoman for San Diego Fire and Rescue. "We're looking at gusting winds to 50 miles per hour, humidity at 5 percent and temperatures reaching 100 degrees (Fahrenheit). Those are dangerous conditions."The so-called Bernardo fire flared as California entered the height of wildfire season in the midst of one of the state's worst droughts on record, setting the stage for what fire officials fear could be a particularly intense and dangerous year.California officials have kept staffing levels for wildland firefighters at elevated levels since last year because of the drought.No property losses or injuries have been reported in the Bernardo fire, which was burning on the fringes of San Diego and into unincorporated areas lying just to the north of the city. The cause of the blaze was under investigation.(Reporting by Marty Graham; Writing by Steve Gorman; Editing by Cynthia Johnston and Andrew Hay)

Warren Buffett Gave $1.2B to Abortion Groups
BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff-May 13, 2014 9:21 am

Liberal billionaire Warren Buffett has given more than $1.2 billion to abortion organizations between 2001 and 2012, FoxNews.com reports.That’s equal to the cost of roughly 2.7 million first-trimester abortions – more than twice the number of abortions that occur in an entire year in the United States. […] Since 2001, there has only been one tangential mention of Buffett’s support for abortion on the broadcast TV network morning and evening news shows. It wasn’t even really about Buffett. It was the NBC “Nightly News” obituary for his wife and it included her support for Planned Parenthood. That’s out of at least 545 appearances or mentions of the Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO.Nowhere did the media explain how Buffett has given $289,811,421 to Planned Parenthood since 2001. Buffett was never mentioned as a top donor when Live Action embarrassed Planned Parenthood with two videos of staffers assisting a Live Action actor with a possible sex selection abortion.

Why are Christians funding Israel’s anti-Zionist fringe? -May 8, 2014, 2:47 pm 25-The Times of Israel-Emily Ziedman Emily Ziedman is the communications associate at NGO Monitor.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The State of Israel is celebrating its 66th birthday. For Israelis, Jews around the world and all supporters of Israel, this is a joyous occasion. By and large, even Israelis who are critical of some of their country’s policies nevertheless celebrate its remarkable accomplishments and contributions to the world.Amid these celebrations, there is a minuscule group of Jewish Israelis who support Palestinian rejectionist ideology and identify with the “Nakba” (Arabic for “catastrophe”) narrative. The importance of this unrepresentative fringe is inflated far beyond its numbers due to support from some powerful Christian institutions, including Catholic frameworks.For example, Zochrot (Hebrew for “remembrance”) is an Israeli NGO whose activities are made possible in large part through the support of European church aid agencies. It aims to “raise public awareness of the Palestinian Nakba” and to “recogniz[e] and materializ[e] the right of return.” In this way, Zochrot is overtly political, promoting a radical vision for the Middle East that does not include the right of the Jewish people to sovereign equality.Zochrot supports the “one-state” framework and implementation of the Palestinian demand for a “right of return” of the millions of people who claim to be descendants of Palestinian refugees from the 1948 war. This directly contradicts the “two states for two peoples” formula supported by the international community, including the government funders of the church aid agencies that serve as Zochrot’s benefactors.In this vision, Israel would become a bi-national entity with an Arab majority. Or as explained by Zochrot founder Eitan Bronstein, “When the refugees return, Jews will become a minority in the country. Israel as a Jewish state will change radically, and it will no longer be defined as such.” In this scenario, Jews would return to the pre-1948 predicament of everywhere being minorities, vulnerable to the whims of sometimes-hostile majorities.Funding for Zochrot’s radical campaigns and agenda comes from powerful European Catholic and Protestant aid framework such as Broederlijk Delen (Belgium), HEKS (Switzerland), Finn Church Aid (Finland), MISEREOR (Germany), CCFD (France), ICCO (Netherlands), Christian Aid (UK), and Trocaire (Ireland). These organizations are funded by European governments that officially support the two-state solution. Zochrot’s activities, then, undermine these governments’ own policies.For instance, Broederlijk Delen is a Flemish Catholic “development and peace” NGO. With a massive budget provided in part by the Belgian government, it funds many highly politicized NGOs active in the Arab-Israeli conflict, including Zochrot. In 2012, Broederlijk Delen gave 50,000 Euros to Zochrot, out of which 40,000 Euros originated with Belgian taxpayers.This funding enables many of Zochrot’s activities. For example, the heads of this fringe group joined a 2012 trip to South Africa, sponsored by HEKS, in order “to learn from cases of expulsion and return.” Afterward, Zochrot co-published “The Cape Town Document,” which states, “It is our hope that the new political structure created in de-Zionized Palestine will be that of a single democratic state.”More recently, in September 2013, Zochrot held a conference called “From Truth to Redress: Realizing the Return of Palestinian Refugees” to further spread its agenda of Israel’s disappearance. At the time, Zochrot’s funders sought to justify their support under the guise of promoting refugee rights and justice, reflecting a lack of due diligence and serious engagement by the funders.It is startling that so many Christian groups fund an NGO that openly rejects Israel’s existence, the single most important manifestation of Jewish empowerment and self-determination in the world today. Such activities are clearly not conducive to Jewish-Christian reconciliation or to finding a realistic solution to the conflict. Instead, they echo the tortured history of Jewish persecution and marginalization in European Christian societies and the extreme demands of radical groups.In a few weeks, Israel will welcome Pope Francis, who has long demonstrated his close ties with the Jewish people. It is hoped that he will send a powerful message of true peace by stating firmly and without equivocation that the vision of a world without Israel clearly contradicts church teachings. This is a message that the officials of powerful Catholic aid agencies who channel money to groups that demonize Israel will need to internalize.

Second US case of MERS indentified-Britain warns travelers to the Middle East against contact with camels, which might be the origin of the deadly virus-By AP and Times of Israel staff May 13, 2014, 7:48 am 0-The Times of Israel

Health officials have confirmed a second US case of a mysterious virus that has sickened hundreds in the Middle East.The latest case is not an American — he is a resident of Saudi Arabia, visiting Florida, who is now in an Orlando hospital.He was diagnosed on Sunday night with MERS, or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, a respiratory illness that begins with flu-like fever and cough but can lead to shortness of breath, pneumonia and death.The MERS virus has been found in camels, and on Monday, the Guardian reported that UK health authorities have issued a travel warning specifically noting that “there is growing evidence of the possible role of camels in transmitting Mers-CoV to humans.“We advise travelers, particularly those with underlying or chronic medical conditions, to avoid contact with camels in the Middle East,” the warning said.Public Health England said that any traveler displaying signs of “a fever, cough or shortness of breath within 14 days of being in the Middle East, should make sure they call their doctor and tell them where they have traveled.”The two US cases so far have not been severe. The first case, a man in Indiana, was released from a hospital late last week. And the second patient is doing well, officials said. The two cases are not linked, officials said.“The risk to the public remains very low,” said Dr. Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Most cases have been in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere in the Middle East. But earlier this month the first US case was diagnosed in a man who traveled from Saudi Arabia to Indiana.That man, an American, was a health-care worker at a hospital in Saudi Arabia’s capital city who flew to the United States on April 24 on a plane that originated in Riyadh, stopped in London and then landed in Chicago. The man took a bus to Munster, Indiana where he became sick and went to a hospital on April 28.He improved and was released from a Munster hospital on Friday. Tests of people who were around the man have all proved negative, health officials have said.Health officials now must track down fellow travelers who were around the newest case, and this time it will be more challenging: There were more flights involved.This man also was a health-care worker at a hospital where MERS cases were being treated, the CDC said. He traveled on May 1 on flights from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, first to London, then to Boston, then to Atlanta, and finally to Orlando. He went to a hospital on May 8 and was placed in isolation.The first flight was Saudi Airlines flight 113 to London, according to a Public Health England press release. The U.S. government did not identify the flight information for the other legs.Health officials did not immediately release additional detail about his travels or his week in Florida, except to say he was not at any theme parks and remained in the Orlando area to see family.The man is at Dr. P. Phillips Hospital in Orlando. He arrived there with relatively mild symptoms, is stable and doing well, but there is no timetable for his release, said Dain Weister, a spokesman for Florida’s health department.As early as the first flight, the latest case was suffering fever, chills and a slight cough. That doesn’t necessarily mean he infected anyone. Experts think MERS cases are most infectious when they are severely ill, with symptoms like pneumonia and difficulty breathing, Schuchat said.However, health officials are trying to contact as many as 500 people who were on the three flights within the United States to let them know the situation and watch for symptoms. People on the flight from Jeddah to London also will be contacted, CDC officials said.MERS belongs to the coronavirus family that includes the common cold and SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, which caused some 800 deaths globally in 2003.Although the MERS virus has been found in camels, but officials don’t know how it is spreading to humans. It can spread from person to person, but officials believe that happens only after close contact. Not all those exposed to the virus become ill.But it appears to be unusually lethal — some estimates have suggested it has killed nearly a third of the people it sickened. The estimate has been dropping as health officials have begun diagnosing more and more cases with less severe illness. But the estimated fatality rate for MERS still is far higher than what’s seen with seasonal flu or other routine infections. Fortunately, it is not as contagious as flu, measles or other diseases. There is no vaccine or cure and there’s no specific treatment except to relieve symptoms.Overall, 538 people have been reported to have the respiratory illness, including 145 people who have died. So far, all had ties to the Middle East region or to people who traveled there. As many as one-fifth of cases have been in health-care workers, Schuchat said.

Congressmen See Ancient Jewish History in Judea-US Congressmen Harris and DeSantis learn of 'thousands of years of Jewish history' in Gush Etzion, say US media misses reality.By Yedidya Ben-Or, Ari Yashar-First Publish: 5/13/2014, 7:10 PM-IsraelNationalNews

Two Republican US congressmen, Andy Harris (MD-R) and Ron DeSantis (FL-R), visited the Gush Etzion region of Judea on Tuesday with their wives.The congressmen were accompanied by the Gush Etzion Regional Council Chair Davidi Perl, Ruti Liberman of the "Yes Israel" organization, along with Yesha Council members. "Yes Israel" and the Gush Etzion Regional Council organized the visit; in the last year 20 congressmen have visited Gush Etzion under their auspices."Until today I didn't know anywhere in Israel other than the Tel Aviv area, so it was very important for us to visit here," stated DeSantis. "There's a great difference between what we see about Israel in the media, and the focus it gives to certain topics, as opposed to what we see in the tour here."The two congressmen hold influential positions: Harris serves on the House Committee on Appropriations, which has been behind transferring budgets to Israel including recent financial support of the Iron Dome defense system. DeSantis sits on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, which is very involved in events in the Middle East and Israel in particular.

Walking in the footsteps of the Patriarchs

The two began their visit in Sde Boaz, a mixed religious and secular community that had a home violently demolished in 2006. There the congressmen spoke with children and parents at a local kindergarten, and were given drawings of US and Israeli flags from the kids.Afterwards, the congressmen were taken to walk on the "Path of the Patriarchs," an ancient road from Biblical times which stretches through Gush Etzion on its way between Hevron and Jerusalem.The two were told about an ancient mikveh (ritual bath) located on the path which dates from the Second Temple Period, roughly 2,000 years ago. The ancient path clearly demonstrated the historical and religious connection between the Jewish people and Judea and Samaria. Gush Etzion residents shared their lifestyle with the American officials, and emphasized that their presence in the region is in fact beneficial for local Arab residents, who in many cases enjoy employment opportunities and conditions that would otherwise not exist.At Kfar Etzion, Harris and DeSantis experienced a light and sound show recounting the modern Jewish settlement of the Gush Etzion area from the beginning of the 20th century up through current times.

Seeing the reality on the ground, not through the media's lens

DeSantis remarked "I don't think that what the average American reads in the newspaper is an accurate reflection of the Israeli reality. It's incredible to be here today and realize that the US has existed 224 years, while we're in a place with thousands of years of Jewish history."The appreciation for the tour was shared by Harris, who said "this is my second time in Israel, and I'm glad for the opportunity to visit here again, particularly these days when Judea and Samaria are on the American Congress's daily agenda.""It's important to see what's happening on the ground. We are waiting to see what the Palestinian unity deal (between Fatah and Hamas) will lead to, and what policy the Palestinian Authority (PA) will take as a result," noted Harris.Perl of the Gush Etzion Regional Council praised the visit as an important opportunity to let American decision makers appreciate the daily reality of the region directly, without media influence."The reality is that we live lives full of spiritual and cultural wealth, we are connected to this land, and we returned to it to stay here," remarked Perl. "Whoever comes here becomes an ambassador in their country, telling the true story of what they saw with their own eyes."Visits such as that of Harris and DeSantis "tighten the strategic connection between the US and Israel," said Liberman of "Yes Israel." She noted that part of the strengthening of ties promoted in the visit concern the US visa crisis, whereby a peak of Israelis have been rejected for visas, and other similar issues.

EU backs Palestinian unity for ‘democratic culture’-Union’s envoy says Hamas considered a terror group, yet ‘something must be done’ to enable overdue elections-By Raphael Ahren May 13, 2014, 5:01 pm 3-The Times of Israel

The European Union still views Hamas as a terrorist organization but supports the group’s inclusion in a Palestinian unity government to advance a “democratic culture” in Palestinian society, the EU’s envoy to Israel said Tuesday.“Our view of Hamas has not changed – it is a terrorist organization designated as such under EU law,” Ambassador Lars Faaborg-Andersen said. “But something must be done to pave the way for the holding of long overdue elections that are necessary for ensuring the development of a democratic culture in a future Palestinian state.”In January 2006, Hamas won a landslide victory in the Palestinian Legislative Council elections, garnering 74 of the 132 seats. The Fatah faction led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas won 45 seats. At the time, Israel objected to allowing Hamas compete in the elections.During a lunch meeting of the EU’s ambassadors with Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman in Jerusalem, Faaborg-Andersen reiterated the union’s general support for the Fatah-Hamas reconciliation deal signed last month, which led Israel to suspend the US-brokered peace negotiations. However, he added: “Only a Palestinian government of independent figures committed to nonviolence, accepting previous agreements and Israel’s right to exist, will be acceptable to us.”On Monday, the foreign ministers of the EU’s 28 member states declared at their monthly meeting in Brussels that Europe was ready to financially support the future Palestinian government, but only if it commits to nonviolence and a two-state solution and accepts previous agreements and obligations, including recognizing Israel’s legitimate right to exist.“The EU’s engagement with a new Palestinian government will be based on its adherence to these policies and commitments,” the ministers stated. “Reconciliation on these terms is an important element for the unity of a future Palestinian state and for reaching a two-state solution and a lasting peace.”While the ministers urged the both sides to “exercise maximum restraint and to avoid any unilateral action which may further undermine peace efforts and the viability of a two-state-solution,” Faaborg-Andersen said it “is encouraging that both parties have, since 29 April, exercised restraint and avoided measures which could further undermine peace efforts.”Liberman did not respond to Faaborg-Andersen during the public part of the lunch. Earlier in the day, at meeting of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, he said that Israel will not negotiate with any government that includes Hamas as long as the group doesn’t accept the conditions of the Middle East Quartet, which include a recognition of Israel.Liberman also attacked Abbas, saying he was not interested in bringing peace to his people. “What’s important to Abu Mazen [Abbas] is only the legacy he’s leaving behind. As of now, the stalemate in the negotiations with the Palestinians is expected to continue,” he said.

Netanyahu Holds PA Accountable for 'Every Gaza Rocket'-Netanyahu notes unity deal has changed dynamics to Japanese FM, says 'we both face rogue states'; tells Emperor of similarities.By Ari Yashar-First Publish: 5/13/2014, 5:55 PM-IsraelNationalNews

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Tuesday declared that the Palestinian Authority (PA) will be held responsible for violence from Gaza in light of the unity deal. His comments came while on an official visit to Japan, which will end on Thursday.Meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, Netanyahu mentioned the reconciliation deal made between the PA and Hamas in late April which torpedoed the peace talks."Hamas is committed to our destruction. We remain committed to advancing the peace, preferably a negotiated peace. But we can only negotiate with a government whose constituent parts are committed to peace," stated Netanyahu.The prime minister added that as long as PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas remains committed to the unity deal with Hamas, "a terrorist organization that regularly fires rockets into Israel, then we'll have to hold him accountable for every rocket that is fired from Gaza, to Israel."Netanyahu mentioned that he hopes "that this pact is dissolved and we can find a way to return to genuine negotiations with a genuine peace partner.""We both face rogue states"Echoing his comments to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in their meeting on Monday, Netanyahu remarked on the danger posed to both Israel and Japan by "a rogue state arming itself with nuclear weapons." In Japan's case the rogue state is North Korea."We obviously sympathize and understand the predicament facing you. We are faced with such a rogue state in the form of Iran and its quest to develop nuclear weapons," said Netanyahu.Noting a UN report which on Monday revealed Iran's methods of evading the sanctions that were imposed on it, Netanyahu called the report "another example of how Iran continues to deceive the world and advance its nuclear program." "Clearly the Ayatollahs cannot be trusted, and if the international community wants to avoid the specter of nuclear terrorism, they must assure that Iran, the foremost sponsor of terrorism on the planet, not have the capability to develop nuclear weapons," stated Netanyahu."This is our number one concern but I think it should be shared by everyone who is concerned by the proliferation of nuclear terrorism and nuclear weapons," concluded the prime minister.In Monday's meeting with Abe, the two prime ministers "affirmed the importance of bilateral defense cooperation", according to an official statement. "They agreed on the visit of officers of the Japan Self-Defense Forces to Israel.""We both have overcome hardships"Netanyahu and his wife Sarah also met with Japanese Emperor Akihito and his wife Empress Michiko at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Tuesday.Kyoto Shimbun reports that Netanyahu said "Japan and Israel share the common feature of having overcome hardships," referring to the Holocaust and the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the close of World War II.Emperor Akihito agreed, adding "the Holocaust was a very heartbreaking event."The natural disaster that struck Tohoku in eastern Japan in 2011, when an earthquake and tsunami wrought massive damage including damage on nuclear reactors, was also discussed. Over 15,000 deaths were reported in the national tragedy; at the time Israel sent an IDF medical team to the affected area.Akihito remarked "we are very grateful for the various forms of support we received from Israel at the time of the disaster," reports Sankei News.Netanyahu responded by saying "not only the government, but also (Israeli) citizens who witnessed the great tragedy gave their heartfelt assistance," to which the Emperor emphasized "we are very thankful for those feelings."

Liberman: Israel won’t cede religious sites during papal visit-In first meeting of high-level defense committee, foreign minister further says Palestinians don’t want peace-By Marissa Newman May 13, 2014, 6:34 pm-The Times of Israel
Israel will not hand over sovereignty of select Christian religious sites during the pope’s upcoming visit, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said Tuesday, dispelling rumors of an imminent deal between Israel and the Vatican.Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox Jews rallied against the ongoing negotiation between Israel and the Vatican outside a sensitive site on Mount Zion, sacred to Christians, Jews, and Muslims on Monday evening.While no official announcement has been made, negotiations between Israel and the Vatican are ongoing, and President Shimon Peres told an Italian newspaper during a visit to the Vatican last April that a compromise had been reached on the Cenacle site, and that “99 percent” of the issues concerning the site had been addressed.The building houses both the site revered by Jews as the tomb of the Biblical King David and, above it, the room believed by Christians to have been the site of the Last Supper.“The State of Israel has no intention of signing with the Vatican, during the pope’s coming visit, on an agreement to transfer the responsibility of sites like these or others, or other gestures,” Liberman said.Speaking at the first Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee meeting after a six-month impasse, Liberman briefed its members on the pressing security issues facing Israel, including the suspended peace talks and Iran.Liberman charged Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas with being more concerned with his political standing than with securing a viable peace agreement, and said the Palestinians will not accept a deal regardless of whatever concessions Israel would be prepared to offer.He maintained that the current peace talks stalemate would likely continue due to the PA president’s preoccupation with his legacy, he said.“[Abbas] has no interest in reaching an agreement with Israel, regardless of what Israel offers him,” he said. “More than what Ehud Barak and Olmert gave, it’s impossible to give, and then too he refused. What is important to Abu Mazen [Abbas] today is just the legacy he leaves behind.”In a veiled criticism of the prime minister, Liberman said, “The State of Israel has not yet used the tools at its disposal to deal with the unilateral steps the Palestinians have taken until now,” in a reference to Abbas’s appeal to 15 United Nations agencies. The Palestinians are nevertheless wary of applying to international organizations due to fears that US funding would be pulled in response, he added.Yet despite Palestinian concerns and protestations with regard to their budget, Abbas continues to grant monthly stipends to security prisoners that amount to tens of millions, Liberman said.With regard to Iran, the foreign minister decried the international community’s general approach to threats, “which is to contain the threats and avoid as much possible from dealing with them.”As it stands, Iran will likely come out of the negotiations retaining much of its nuclear capabilities, which will establish the country “as a [nuclear] threshold state that can break out the bomb in a short time,” Liberman maintained.“This is a troubling state of affairs, but regardless it looks like the permanent agreement will be signed in September of this year,” he added.The foreign minister also alluded to new legislation that would make it impossible to free prisoners who have been sentenced to life in prison, targeting Israel’s practice of freeing prisoners in peace negotiations with the Palestinians. The bill – sponsored by Jewish Home MK Ayelet Shaked and Hatnua MK David Tzur, is set to go to the Knesset for a first reading.“It’s time the prime minister brings the conclusions of the Shamgar Commission to a cabinet decision, to adopt those recommendations,” he said.The Shamgar Commission has in the past made recommendations similar to the provisions of the bill that is currently set to be voted on.On his first day in the position, the new chairman of the committee, Ze’ev Elkin, pledged to balance his group’s commitment to foreign and defense issues.
“We have an excellent Foreign Ministry that isn’t always sufficiently prepared. From my experience with the ministry, I know that foreign affairs are an integral part of defense affairs. As chairman of the committee, I intend to invest in foreign [affairs], no less than in the defense issues.”AFP and Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Hagel touches down in Saudi Arabia for talks on Iran, Syria-US defense secretary expected to reassure Gulf leaders on deal with Tehran before visits to Israel, Jordan-By AFP May 13, 2014, 5:00 pm-The Times of Israel

US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel arrived in the Saudi Arabia Tuesday for the first leg of a regional tour focusing on Iran’s nuclear program and Syria’s civil war.Hagel will hold talks with Saudi officials, and on Wednesday, he will meet Gulf Cooperation Council defense ministers in the first US-GCC meeting of its kind since 2008.An AFP photographer said Hagel’s plane touched down in the Red Sea city of Jeddah, ahead of a planned tour that US officials said will also take him to Jordan and Israel.“This trip will be the secretary’s third to the Middle East in just over a year, and it will advance America’s regional strategy in that region,” Pentagon press secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said last week.US officials have struggled to reassure Gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia, over an interim nuclear deal with Iran that the Saudis worry will embolden Tehran.The energy-rich GCC has also been dissatisfied with Washington’s cautious approach to arming rebel forces in Syria.Kirby last week said the US-GCC meeting will namely offer Hagel a chance “to underscore US security commitments in the Middle East and to reinforce the United States’ unstinting policy of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and further destabilizing the region.”The gathering will also focus on coordinating “air and missile defense, maritime security and cyber defense,” he said.After his stop in Saudi Arabia, Hagel will head to Jordan for talks on the raging civil war in its neighboring Syria.“This visit will highlight the US commitment to the defense of Jordan, where more than 1,000 US personnel are on the ground working closely with Jordanian defense authorities,” Kirby said.Hagel will wrap up his regional tour in Israel for talks with top officials and to discuss efforts to bolster Israel’s rocket and missile defenses, Kirby said.The tour is part of “our effort to work in a coordinated manner with allies and partners across the region to address common security challenges,” according to the press secretary.

Foreign Minister Urges Knesset to Make Decision on PA Policy-Liberman slams wishy-washiness in Israeli policy toward terrorist releases after last-minute rejection of landmark bill.By Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 5/13/2014, 1:03 PM-IsraelNationalNews
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu) called on the Israeli government to examine the Shamgar Commission’s rulings Tuesday, in response to continued crisis in the coalition over the possible release of more Palestinian Arab terrorists."The Shamgar Commission’s conclusions are a systematic treatise to how to act in this situation,” Liberman noted, “and everyone agreed at the time that there should be certain policy guidelines.”“All of this releasing terrorists started when we made the administrative decision to exchange our captives for terrorists,” he continued. “Whenever we released terrorists to Hamas control in Gaza, we had to make a similar ‘gesture’ to [PA Chairman Mahmoud] Abbas so as not to weaken our relationship with him.” The Shamgar Commission, headed by former Supreme Court President Meir Shamgar, filed recommendations in 2012, regarding prisoner releases in the context of negotiations for captives like Gilad Shalit. As Former IDF Chief Rabbi Avihai Ronski noted in October, the Commission warned against terrorist releases as a matter of state policy. Liberman also slammed the hypocrisy of Abbas, who has made several statements to the media decrying the abysmal state of the PA’s budget on the one hand, and paid thousands of dollars to convicted terrorists on another. “We were wrong in the message that we give to the Palestinians,” Liberman stated. “One day we announce that that we’re stopping with ‘gestures’ and begin to collect their debts - but over the next week, we tell them that we’ll return the money we decided to collect ‘and it will be fine.'” Liberman's remarks have also been seen as an indirect response to a storm in the Knesset overnight, after Science and Technology Minister Ya'akov Perry (Yesh Atid) filed an appeal to a landmark bill enforcing life sentences for terrorists.The bill changes one of the Basic Laws of Israel, which form the basis for the formation and role of Israel's institutions, and the relations between the state's different ministries and authorities.The Basic Law of the President of the State, passed in 1964, allows the President to pardon all convicted criminals - at least until now.The new amendment would change this rule, preventing any convicted terrorist from being pardoned for his crimes under certain conditions. The amendment seeks to allow the judges of the court during trials for nationalist murders, terrorist activity or any other heinous crime, to negate at the time of sentencing the possibility of providing future amnesty.But Perry's appeal would severely limit the Knesset's ability to advance the bill into law, essentially burying it before it can be brought to the Cabinet for approval.
