13,000 troops called up in surprise West Bank drill-Massive IDF training exercise seen as preparation for possible deterioration in security situation By Justin Jalil March 1, 2015, 11:27 pm 1

In a sign of Israel Defense Forces preparations for possible destabilization of the security situation in the West Bank, the army’s Central Command called up 13,000 reservists in a surprise exercise on Sunday ordered by the new chief of staff of the IDF, Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot.Of the troops summoned, only 3,000 will actually have to report for reserve duty on Monday, the army said in a statement. For the remainder, the exercise was limited to the surprise call-up itself.The troops will practice riot-control techniques, responses to kidnapping attempts and the handling of improvised explosive devices, the Ynet news site reported.The two-day call-up will see the reservists training alongside troops from the air force, active duty infantry, combat engineers, and armor and intelligence units in the West Bank.The Palestinian Authority was given advance notice ahead of the exercise by the IDF’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) unit, which manages the army’s contacts with Palestinian authorities. COGAT officials told their Palestinian counterparts that the IDF was preparing for the possibility of escalation in unrest.Tensions have been high in the area as some analysts predicted the potential for major civil unrest following Jerusalem’s decision to withhold the transfer of tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority in retaliation for Ramallah’s bid to join the International Criminal Court and sue Israel for alleged war crimes.“This is the largest operational exercise in the past few years. I do not remember anything of this scale,” a senior army officer told Ynet

As Netanyahu arrives, White House plugs Obama’s Israel bona fides-Fact-sheet released during AIPAC conference cites president’s commitment to Israel’s security, personal involvement in failed peace bid By Rebecca Shimoni Stoil March 2, 2015, 3:00 am 2-the times of israel

WASHINGTON — As israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu landed in the US, and thousands of pro-Israel activists in town readied to go to bat for greater Congressional oversight on any Iran deal, the White House went on the attack, publishing a blog post plugging President Barack Obama’s positive record toward the Jewish State.A blog-post titled “five key facts you need to know about the US-Israel relationship under President [Barack] Obama” sent around by the White House Sunday evening touted Obama’s credentials as a supporter to Israel, and also emphasized that the United States has had a long history of support with Israel.The post comes after a week of intense back-and-forth between Israel and Washington over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Tuesday speech before both houses of Congress, and as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual policy conference got under way.“Under President Obama’s leadership, American engagement with Israel has grown and strengthened to an unprecedented degree,” the fact-sheet read. “From meeting frequently with Israeli leaders to ensuring that Israel remains the largest recipient of U.S. foreign assistance, the President is deeply committed to helping Israel maintain its strength and security.”The blog post highlighted that “the first country to recognize Israel, the United States has forged a deep and unshakable bond with Israel through a multifaceted relationship that reflects the depth and breadth of the ties between our people and the values that we share.”Last month, a Netanyahu campaign commercial compared the current prime minister to founding father David Ben-Gurion, noting that then-US secretary of state George Marshall opposed the creation of the state of Israel.Describing Obama as “a strong defender,” the post noted that “President Obama has strengthened Israel’s defense in concrete and unprecedented ways.” It cited numerous budgetary benefits that Israel has received since 2009 as evidence, as well as the continued regularly scheduled joint military exercises between the nations’ armies.It went on to emphasize Obama’s role in “leading global efforts to defend Israel’s legitimacy on the world stage” as well as describing him as an “economic partner.”While many of the bullet points emphasized policies that were carried out through the administration and legislative initiatives, the blog highlighted Obama’s personal role as “a proponent of peace.”“The President has strongly supported Israel in its quest for peace with its neighbors,” the fact-sheet read, emphasizing that “President Obama has repeatedly stood up for a two-state solution that ensures the peace and security of Israelis and Palestinians.”It also ascribed a high level of presidential involvement in the failed attempts to broker a comprehensive peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority that ultimately collapsed last spring.“Under the President’s direction, Secretary [John] Kerry initiated an intensive, collaborative effort to facilitate negotiations for a comprehensive peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians,” the blog asserted. “The President prioritized Israel’s security by asking one of our foremost military experts to help develop security arrangements that ensure a two-state solution leaves Israelis more secure, not less.”The fifth point of the blog noted that “under President Obama, the US has invested millions in helping Israeli immigrants.” It continued that “in the last 6 years, US humanitarian assistance to refugees and migrants travelling to Israel totaled $140 million.”The funds, the blog said, “is used to help transport eligible migrants to Israel, transitional shelter, intensive Hebrew-language programs that focus on newly-arriving immigrants, or youth programming in Israel.”The blog concluded with a curt instruction to “share this information with everyone who needs to know.” Aside from the fact-sheet, Obama will speak to Reuters for an on-camera interview on Monday, in which he is expected to address tensions with Netanyahu.Earlier Sunday, the administration signaled it would soften its stance toward the Israeli leader’s speech, with Kerry saying that Netanyahu was welcome to speak in the US and that the administration did not want the event “turned into some great political football.”Before speaking to Congress, Netanyahu will address the AIPAC conference on Monday.The annual confab launched Sunday with a record-breaking 16,000 activists in attendance and a legislative focus on two bills that seek increased congressional involvement in the nuclear talks underway between Iran and the major powers.Activists who visit Capitol Hill on Tuesday, the last day of the conference, will seek co-sponsorship for a bill that adds new sanctions on Iran should it walk away from the talks. They also will lend their voices to a measure that subjects any deal with Iran to congressional approval.Obama has threatened to veto both bills, saying that any congressional interference in the talks underway between Iran and the major powers risks scuttling the negotiations.JTA contributed to this report.

Netanyahu to inform Congress on Iran deal details — official-Adviser traveling with PM claims Israel has more info about deal than US lawmakers, says Netanyahu won’t offend Obama in speech-By Times of Israel staff and AP March 2, 2015, 2:24 am 6

Prime Minister Bejamin Netanyahu will reveal details from an emerging nuclear deal to “uninformed” US lawmakers during his controversial speech to Congress on Tuesday, a senior official traveling with him said early Monday, as Netanyahu landed near Washington.The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told reporters covering the prime minister’s trip that Israel knows more about the agreement with Iran than many members of Congress.“We know many details from the agreement being put together, details that we feel members of Congress are unaware of,” the official said, according to Haaretz. “According to the information we have, the deal currently taking shape will leave Iran with the capability to build a nuclear weapon, if Khamenei make a decision to do so.”The official said Netanyahu would reveal some details of the agreement during his speech before both houses of Congress on Tuesday, according to Ynet.“We are not here to offend President Obama whom we respect very much,” said a Netanyahu adviser, who was not authorized to be identified. “The prime minister is here to warn, in front of any stage possible, the dangers” of the deal that may be taking shape.A report late last month that the US was pursuing a deal with Iran that would freeze the ability to produce a nuclear weapons for 10 years before allowing it to ramp up enrichment activities was quickly denied by the White House and State Department.However, Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, have said the deal being put together is a bad one that will be dangerous for Israel and the Western world.The invitation to speak to Congress extended by House Speaker John Boehner, a Republican, and Netanyahu’s acceptance have caused an uproar that has exposed tensions between Israel and the US, its most important ally.By consenting to speak, Netanyahu angered the White House, which was not consulted in advance, and Democrats, who were forced to choose between showing support for Israel and backing the president.“I will do everything in my ability to secure our future,” Netanyahu said before flying to Washington. He described himself as “an emissary” of the Jewish people.Boehner said Iran’s nuclear ambitions were a threat well beyond the region.“We’re not going to resolve this issue by sticking our heads in the sand,” Boehner told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

He said Netanyahu “can talk about this threat, I believe, better than anyone. And the United States Congress wants to hear from him, and so do the American people.”Netanyahu considers unacceptable any deal that does not entirely end Iran’s nuclear program.But President Barack Obama is willing to leave some nuclear activity intact, backed by safeguards that Iran is not trying to develop a weapon. Iran insists its program is solely for peaceful energy and medical research.Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday tried to calm tensions with Israel before the congressional address, yet insisted the Obama administration’s diplomatic record with Iran entitles the US to “the benefit of the doubt” as negotiators work toward a long-term nuclear deal.Kerry said in an interview broadcast before he arrived in Switzerland for talks with Iran’s foreign minister that Netanyahu was welcome to speak in the US and that the administration did not want the event “turned into some great political football.”That sentiment was a step back from some of the sharp rhetoric between the allies in recent weeks, and Kerry mentioned that he had talked to Netanyahu as recently as Saturday.But Kerry stressed that Israel was safer as a result of the short-term nuclear pact that world powers and Iran reached in late 2013, and he described that improvement as the “standard we will apply to any agreement” with the Tehran.

Iran talks take center stage as AIPAC confab kicks off-Record 16,000 activists to push bills seeking increased congressional involvement in nuke negotiations; Bennett: Deal a ‘disaster of historic proportions’ By JTA and Times of Israel staff March 2, 2015, 12:20 am 6

WASHINGTON — Pro-Israeli lobbying group AIPAC launched its largest-ever conference with a focus on the Iran nuclear talks Sunday.The legislative focus of the conference, which started Sunday with a record-breaking 16,000 activists in attendance, is two bills that seek increased congressional involvement in the nuclear talks underway between Iran and the major powers.Activists who visit Capitol Hill on Tuesday, the last day of the conference, will seek co-sponsorship for a bill that adds new sanctions on Iran should it walk away from the talks. They also will lend their voices to a measure that subjects any deal with Iran to congressional approval.President Barack Obama has threatened to veto both bills, saying that any congressional interference in the talks underway between Iran and the major powers risks scuttling the negotiations.AIPAC speakers emphasized that they do not want to scuttle the talks and instead are seeking to ensure that there is congressional review and the deal is watertight.“The ability to look at this, to submit it for approval or disapproval, is a critical role for Congress to play,” Howard Kohr, AIPAC’s CEO, said at the opening plenary.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who opposes the deal reported to be emerging from the talks, is speaking to the conference on Monday. The next day he will address Congress in a speech that has engendered controversy because Netanyahu and the Republican congressional leadership arranged it without consulting Democrats or the White House.Kohr acknowledged the furor, but noted that AIPAC was encouraging lawmakers to attend the speech.“There’s no question that the way this speech has come about has created a great deal of upset among Democrats,” he said. “It frankly may have upset people in this room.”Israeli Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, also speaking at the conference Sunday night, called the emerging Iran deal a “disaster of historic proportions.”Also addressing the conference is Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser, who last week said Netanyahu’s speech is “destructive” of the US-Israel relationship.Kohr in his opening remarks said that AIPAC also backs suspending assistance to the Palestinian Authority as long as it pursued statehood outside the framework of negotiations and sought legal action against Israel in international courts.

MH370: MAS to hold private service on Sunday-Bernama | Updated: March 02, 2015-astro awaniKUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) will hold a private service in remembrance of its personnel aboard the ill-fated MH370 which vanished on March 8 last year, this Sunday.The service, a private affair will only be attended by the family of MAS personnel who had perished in the accident and also by its employees, a MAS spokeswoman told Bernama today."Grief and loss are an intensely personal thing. Each family involved will want to mark the occasion in their own way, away from the glare of the media."So as the many families involved gather privately to remember their loved ones who were on MH370, we will assemble the MAS family to devote time to our own private reflection and remembrance," she said when asked on the airline's plan for the one-year anniversary for MH370.The disappearance of the Boeing 777 flight MH370 with its 12 crew and 227 passengers from the radar screen while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing about an hour after departing the KL International Airport at about 12.41 am on March 8 last year, was officially declared by the Malaysian government on Jan 29 this year as an accident under international aviation rules, and that all 239 passengers and crew aboard are presumed to have lost their lives.The Malaysian government has also stressed that the search for the Boeing 777 remains a priority, and it is committed to continue all reasonable efforts to bring closure to this unfortunate tragedy, with the continuing cooperation and assistance of the governments of China and Australia.

Khazanah to disburse RM1.6 bln as second phase of funding to MAS-Bernama | Updated: March 02, 2015-astro awani
KUALA LUMPUR: Khazanah Nasional Bhd is scheduled to disburse up to RM1.6 billion to Malaysia Airlines (MAS) as part of the second phase of conditional investment funding within the next three months. The conditions for the disbursement are the delivery of several key milestones, among others, a new company (NewCo) business plan approved by Khazanah and the MAS board of directors, Khazanah said in its second MAS Recovery Plan (MRP) Quarterly Progress Update.MAS NewCo is the company taking over MAS as part of the restructuring of the national carrier, which Khazanah has 100 per cent interest. Other conditions needed for the funding are a corporate governance review, implementation of a talent selection process as well as talent management and development programmes, and financial and operational targets to be agreed upon.As called for under the MRP, the completion of the selective capital reduction and repayment (SCR) and the delisting of MAS are necessary conditions for Khazanah’s commitment to disburse investment funding of up to RM6 billion on a phased basis and under strict conditions.Of the first phase of conditional investment funding amounting to RM2 billion targeted for end-December 2014, RM1.38 billion was disbursed for payment to shareholders pursuant to the successful SCR exercise.The remainder of this first phase of funding will be disbursed based on MAS cashflow requirements and conditions set by Khazanah.Furthermore, as part of MAS’ long-term goal of reducing its gearing, discussions on the terms of a proposed debt-for-equity swap with several parties are ongoing, with broad agreement on key terms targeted by the end of first quarter of 2015 and execution of definitive agreements in second quarter of 2015.

Boehner: Unprecedented Demand for Tickets to Bibi Speech-House Speaker says White House has worsened relations with Israel in the last 5-6 weeks.By Gil Ronen-First Publish: 3/1/2015, 7:58 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

House Speaker John Boehner said Sunday that there is unprecedented demand for seats in the House for Binyamin Netanyahu's speech Tuesday."I've never seen anything like it,” he said on CBS's Face the Nation. “Everybody wants to be there.”"What I do wonder is why the White House feels threatened because the Congress wants to support Israel and wants to hear what our trusted ally has to say.”Support for Israel continues to be bipartisan, he stressed, and Democratic support for the Jewish state has not receded. "Really," he added, "the only conflict here is between the White House and Israel."

Has the Israel-US Relationship Been Damaged Irreparably?-Perhaps now, says expert, but speech at Congress could expose divisions among Democrats in particular.By Gedalyah Reback-First Publish: 3/1/2015, 8:52 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's upcoming speech to Congress has, to say the least, been controversial. Before he has taken the podium and begun to speak, analysts are wondering if his mere presence could finish unraveling the US-Israel relationship that has been said to be fraying over the last six years.Dr. Jonathan Rynhold of the Begin Sadat Center for Strategic Studies is not inclined to say that the relationship is doomed, however difficult things have become between the personalities of President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu. He is more concerned though that as Netanyahu takes the podium, he might have weakened his ability to reach Congressional Democrats."If anything, it has made it more difficult for the Prime Minister to use Congress to pressure the Administration because he's lost a lot of Congressional Democrats. He's played right into President Obama's hand, being able to frame this as a partisan political attack on his administration."He noted that the Democratic Party is not monolithic by any means - roughly a third of Congressional Democrats are centrists who might be inclined to join a Republican-leaning vote on issues like sanctions against Iran. But if the party is in discord, it will be difficult to cross the aisle."Bipartisanship is like the O-Zone layer. If you find a hole, you have to repair it quickly or there will take a long time to repair the rift. If you lose the Dems (Democrats), you're suddenly left making it a partisan issue."He says that the defense relationship between the two countries though is much stronger than either leader to dismantle even if they wanted to. The two countries will continue to consult each other and the US will continue to sell Israel weaponry (and advanced weaponry at that), but the Obama Administration could continue to relax defending Israel on the diplomatic front.When asked what could improve things, he suggests that the Prime Minister might benefit “if he has Labor in the government. That would definitely help. If the government’s backing of two states is serious, then the Prime Minister’s overall foreign policy will be taken seriously.”But he doesn’t discount the real possibility that the Prime Minister won’t be dependent on that sort of scenario. When asked if there would be any thinking in either government that this latest spat should motivate a change in the relationship, he was pessimistic.“We’re beyond the point where the two governments can improve things between them on their own. Without common interest, it’s hard to see how things will improve.”Yet, he was quick to point to good chance a number of common interests could push off pressure on the Prime Minister.“If the Iran deal falls through or ISIS seriously threatens Jordan, the equation changes. Yitzhak Shamir and George H W Bush had a terrible relationship, but Shamir’s coordination with Bush during the Gulf War improved things for a while. Mahmoud Abbas could also balance the equation. If he continues with his ICC move, he could equally frustrate the White House.”The issues of Iran and ISIS, which seemed to have caught the United States in a bind on how to handle both rivals, have also pushed the Arab governments of the region to take issue with the Obama Administration on similar issues as the Israeli Prime Minister.“They don’t see him being assertive enough. If we compare the relationship Netanyahu has with Obama and the relationship other Middle Eastern governments have with his administration, we realize theirs are equally strained, but less public.”Assuming that the US and Iran do strike an undesirable deal, he wondered what Israel’s policy going forward would be. What might be critical is just how much time Iran would need to make a bomb based on the conditions of the final deal. If it is long enough, Israel’s defense establishment might consider it “livable.” But he noted there is a major difference between being a year from the bomb and only six months. Israel will likely become the deal’s fiercest critic, but if Israel presents itself as holding Iran to it, it could change perceptions of Israel’s arguments.You can be sure Israel will be monitoring things on the ground very closely. If they see a hint of Iranian cheating (on the deal), they would immediately raise a flag.”

Report: Obama Threatened to Shoot Down IAF Iran Strike-Kuwaiti paper claims unnamed Israeli minister with good ties with the US administration 'revealed the attack plan to John Kerry.'By Mark Langfan-First Publish: 3/1/2015, 4:18 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.Following Obama's threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack.According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the decision to strike Iran some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel's back.The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.Al-Jarida quoted "well-placed" sources as saying that Netanyahu, along with Minister of Defense Moshe Yaalon, and then-Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, had decided to carry out airstrikes against Iran's nuclear program after consultations with top security commanders.According to the report, “Netanyahu and his commanders agreed after four nights of deliberations to task the Israeli army's chief of staff, Benny Gantz, to prepare a qualitative operation against Iran's nuclear program. In addition, Netanyahu and his ministers decided to do whatever they could do to thwart a possible agreement between Iran and the White House because such an agreement is, allegedly, a threat to Israel's security.”The sources added that Gantz and his commanders prepared the requested plan and that Israeli fighter jets trained for several weeks in order to make sure the plans would work successfully. Israeli fighter jets reportedly even carried out experimental flights in Iran's airspace after they managed to break through radars.

Brzezinski's idea

Former US diplomat Zbigniew Brzezinski, who enthusiastically campaigned for Obama in 2008, called on him to shoot down Israeli planes if they attack Iran. “They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?” said the former national security advisor to former President Jimmy Carter in an interview with the Daily Beast. “We have to be serious about denying them that right,” he said. “If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a 'Liberty' in reverse.’"Israel mistakenly attacked the American Liberty ship during the Six-Day War in 1967.Brzezinski was a top candidate to become an official advisor to President Obama, but he was downgraded after Republican and pro-Israel Democratic charges during the campaign that Brzezinski’s anti-Israel attitude would damage Obama at the polls.

Netanyahu so wrong in confronting Obama, so right on Iran-Op-ed: With the US-Israel train wreck unavoidable on Tuesday, the challenge now is to pick up the pieces and refocus on thwarting Tehran-By David Horovitz March 1, 2015, 5:52 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Arriving in Washington for the AIPAC conference ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress on Tuesday is akin to looking down on a looming train crash and being powerless to stop it. The conflicting forces are converging upon each other insistently, inevitably. The efforts to prevent the collision have failed. All that’s left now is to watch the disaster unfold, and then try to recover.The words of doom and gloom you hear from some of the people most closely involved in nurturing the American-Israel partnership are simply unprecedented. How bad is Netanyahu’s speech for US-Israel ties? I asked one such activist. Well, it’s only decades of painstakingly constructed bipartisan relations smashed to smithereens, he replied bitterly.The prime minister has created the dismal situation whereby even his speech to AIPAC, a day prior to Tuesday’s address to Congress, becomes somewhat problematic. Not only are America’s legislators being asked to choose between their president and the Israeli prime minister, as the veteran administration official Dennis Ross observed at the weekend. But AIPAC’s 16,000-strong, overwhelmingly Jewish audience, in mightily applauding Netanyahu, will be seen by some critics as endorsing a stance against the White House — even though many of those 16,000 have no desire to be torn in this way.Netanyahu’s handling of this face-off has been staggeringly inept, another activist volunteered, and it follows a pattern of his alienating of world leaders — including but not limited to Nicolas Sarkozy and Francois Hollande and Joe Biden — and of exacerbating problems for Jewish communities — notably those in Europe that he has been urging to immigrate to Israel en masse.‘Forcing the ayatollahs to abandon the bomb was not unrealistic, is not unrealistic, if it is clear to them that their pursuit of nuclear arms would endanger the very survival of their regime. That stark choice has not been brought home to them. That is the heart of the negotiators’ failure’ There’s a good deal of truth in these critiques. There’s a great deal of truth, too, in the assertions from critics at home that this trip, this poking of a finger in the eye of President Barack Obama, is a calculated electoral gambit, designed to bolster support for the ostensibly unflinching Netanyahu among right-wing voters back home, to prevent them from defecting to rival parties and denying him victory on March 17. There’s no doubting the political machinations that saw the Prime Minister’s Office release a short clip of Netanyahu “writing his speech” for broadcast on the main Friday evening Channel 2 news, or the rather cynical decision to have the prime minister filmed at the Western Wall ahead of this trip — co-opting Judaism’s holiest place of worship to his campaign.Along with the concern and the cynicism, however, there is one other fairly important aspect of the prime minister’s trip to DC that should be borne in mind: The US-led international community has failed Israel, and failed itself, in its handling of Iran’s drive to nuclear weapons. It is on the point of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. And Netanyahu has been trying desperately to warn against this misguided course of action.Anonymous US administration officials gave a briefing on Friday at which they reportedly sniped that Netanyahu, for all his criticisms, had failed to suggest alternative terms for a deal with Iran. Indeed, many news reports of the Obama-Netanyahu dispute have flatly asserted that the prime minister opposes any and every diplomatic accord with Tehran.In truth, however, Netanyahu has incessantly stressed that a good deal — a deal, that is, that denies Iran the capacity to break out to the bomb — is infinitely preferable to the resort to military action. He has campaigned relentlessly for a deal that dismantles Iran military nuclear infrastructure, highlighting that energy-rich Iran has no need whatsoever for its claimed “peaceful” nuclear program, that it has repeatedly misled the world about the program, and that it can be guaranteed to continue lying and manipulating and deceiving all the way to the bomb if it is left with the opportunity to do so.
Netanyahu was at the forefront of the effort behind the highly effective sanctions regime which forced Iran to the negotiating table, and his increasingly distraught recent rhetoric is the consequence of his horrified realization that the P5+1 negotiators, having had Iran “on the ropes,” as he put it in his UN address in 2013, was allowing the Islamist regime to evade the necessary diplomatic knockout.Netanyahu’s “alternative” deal is one in which Iran is required to acknowledge that it was seeking nuclear weapons, and to halt and dismantle all the processes that could give it the bomb. Ongoing concerted enforcement of the sanctions regime could yield that result, he was and remains convinced, but the US-led negotiators have failed to pursue that goal with sufficient resolution — at terrible potential cost for Israel, other threatened states in the region, and the rest of the free world.The US-led counterargument is that Netanyahu is unrealistic; the deal he envisages could never have been attained; Iran would not have conceded; the international coalition against Iran would have collapsed.And there’s no doubting that Netanyahu — lecturing Obama in public at a White House meeting here, unwilling to freeze settlements there, alienating European leaders, unresponsive to Arab peace overtures — has often undermined his own self-described central mission of thwarting Iran.But forcing the ayatollahs to abandon the bomb was not unrealistic, is not unrealistic, if it is clear to them that their pursuit of nuclear arms would endanger the very survival of their regime. That stark choice was not, has not been, brought home to them. That is the heart of the negotiators’ failure.Quite the reverse. While the Obama administration will be boycotting Netanyahu here this week, Secretary of State John Kerry will be earnestly negotiating with the polished, avuncular Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. Israel’s most important ally is hoping to see the ouster of the prime minister who is such an irritant on Iran, even as it moves toward an accord that would ensure the survival of a rapacious, murderous, terrorist-funding regime in Tehran that has its heart set on the destruction of Israel.Iran is laughing, the United States is torn, and Israel watches with trepidation. The challenge, the imperative, after this week’s now unavoidable train wreck, is to pick up the pieces — to heal a rift with the US leadership that Israel simply cannot afford, and to refocus joint efforts on thwarting Iran’s drive to the bomb. It is not too late. It very soon will be.

Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia to trial new jet tracking system-UPDATED: 01 Mar 2015 20:47-cna
SYDNEY: Australia Sunday (Mar 1) said it was trialling a "world first" system with Malaysia and Indonesia that increases the tracking of aircraft over remote oceans, allowing authorities to quickly react to abnormal situations such as the disappearance of MH370.It raises the minimum tracking rate for planes flying over remote oceans to 15 minutes from current intervals of 30 to 40 minutes.The technology "can increase realtime monitoring should an abnormal situation arise," Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said."In a world first, all three countries will trial a new method of tracking aircraft through the skies over remote oceanic areas," Truss told reporters."Now this initiative adapts existing technology used by more than 90 percent of long-haul passenger aircraft and would see air traffic control able to respond more rapidly should an aircraft experience difficulty or deviation from its flight plan."The announcement came ahead almost a year after Malaysian Airlines MH370 went missing en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board last March.A massive air and underwater search failing to find any evidence of the plane.While the system was "not a silver bullet", it would help to improve current methods of tracking ahead of other solutions being developed, Airservices Australia chairman Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston said.If an aircraft deviates more than 200 feet from its assigned level or two nautical miles from its expected track, the system would automatically monitor the jet more closely, such as every five minutes or almost continuously, he added."This is a big step forward. It's not just changing things, it's going to make, I think, the monitoring of aircraft over these oceanic areas much more effective," the head of the air traffic control body said."We will have a datum close to where the aircraft ran into trouble, which is in marked contrast to MH370 where the last known position was in the Malacca Straits."The trial, using automatic dependent surveillance contract (ADSC) technology, will commence at the air traffic services centre in the eastern city of Brisbane before being extended to Melbourne in the country's south and to Indonesia and Malaysia. Long-haul jets that use the existing technology include wide-bodied planes such as Boeing's 380, 777, 330, 340 and 350 models, Truss said.- AFP/ac

Lufthansa studying AirAsia to model its LCC after-Bernama | Updated: March 01, 2015-astroawani
NEW YORK: AirAsia is among the airlines that Lufthansa hopes to model its planned low-cost carrier (LCC) after, as it seeks to expand into new regions and add destinations to an extensive network.The German airline see the LLC service as a segment that is inherent with good business potential, particularly, in long-haul leisure tourism."AirAsia is an interesting prototype. As is the case with many airlines, Lufthansa’s challenge is to keep costs as low as possible," said Juergen Siebenrock, the New York-based Vice President (Americas) of Lufthansa.He told Bernama this on the sidelines of the airlines' annual media conference here on Friday.Senior representatives of other airlines affiliated with the Lufthansa Group such as Austrian Airline, Swiss and Brussels Airline, were also present.Siebenrock said labour costs in Germany was very high alongside airport fees and fuel costs, as well as other related charges."One can always learn from others. It would be interesting to know how the LLCs manage their cost structure amid such challenges," he added.He said the North American market was already congested for new LLC entrants who need to look at new markets and regions to tap potential." Opportunities lie in the leisure segment and we see promise in markets such as ASEAN, India and China." The growing middle class of these countries and region have been flying to transcontinental destinations. Like the United States, Europe is also a very popular destination for this constituency of travelers."ASEAN will be an interesting region for us. Every time a community breaks down trade barriers and eliminates other obstacles in the way of free trade, we see a lot of business developing for the airline industry," Siebenrock said.
