Abbas says Jews’ behavior, not anti-Semitism, caused the Holocaust-In rambling speech, PA president gives a 'history lesson' in which he tries to negate Jewish connection to Israel, accuses Zionists of cooperating with Hitler-By TOI staff and Agencies-MAY 1,18
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday said that the Holocaust was not caused by anti-Semitsm, but by the “social behavior” of the Jews, including money-lending.In a long and rambling at speech in Ramallah at a rare session of the Palestinian National Council, Abbas touched on a number of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories during what he called a “history lesson,” as he sought to prove the 3,000 year-old Jewish connection to the Land of Israel is false.Abbas said his narrative was backed by three points made by Jewish writers and historians, the first being the theory oft-criticized as anti-Semitic that Ashkenazi Jews are not the descendants of the ancient Israelites.Pointing to Arthur Kessler’s book “The Thirteenth Tribe,” which asserts Ashkenazi Jews are descended from Khazars, Abbas said European Jews therefore had “no historical ties” to the Land of Israel.He went on to claim that the Holocaust was not the result of anti-Semitism but rather of the Jews “social behavior,  [charging] interest, and financial matters.”I can’t believe what I am hearing. Abu Mazen on PA TV basically saying Hitler facilitated building Israel. pic.twitter.com/2BlU2QUsRt— Ghanem Nuseibeh (@gnuseibeh) April 30, 2018-Abbas also claimed Israel was a European project from the start, saying that European leaders such as the United Kingdom’s Lord Arthur Balfour restricted the immigration of Jews to their countries while simultaneously promoting the immigration of Jews to the Land of Israel.The 1917 Balfour Declaration endorsed the idea of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel.“Those who sought a Jewish state weren’t Jews,” he said, repeating a claim he made in January when he said that the State of Israel was formed as “a colonial project that has nothing to do with Judaism” to safeguard European interests.In that January speech, he said that European Jews during the Holocaust chose to undergo “murder and slaughter” over emigration to British-held Palestine.However, on Monday, Abbas claimed that Adolf Hitler, whose Nazi regime was response for the murder of 6,000,000 Jews in the Holocaust, facilitated the immigration of Jews to Israel by reaching a deal with the Anglo-Palestine Bank (today Bank Leumi) under which Jews who moved to the British Mandate of Palestine could transfer all their assets there through the bank.The Palestinian leader has a long history of Holocaust denial. His 1982 doctoral dissertation was titled “The Other Side: the Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism,” and he has in the past been accused of denying the scope of the Holocaust. The dissertation reportedly claimed that the six million figure of Holocaust victims was hugely exaggerated and that Zionist leaders cooperated with the Nazis.Abbas, in his Monday address, made no mention of the Jews’ historic presence and periods of sovereignty in the holy land. Israel is the only place where the Jews have ever been sovereign or sought sovereignty.-We will not accept the US-Abbas also spoke at length about the failed peace process, saying that the corruption investigation that felled former prime minister Ehud Olmert was meant to prevent him from reaching a peace deal. Olmert has made similar accusations.Abbas previously said he rejected Olmert’s peace offer a decade ago. The Olmert proposal provided for a near-total Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and the Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem, and would have placed the Old City — home to Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy sites — under international control.Abbas also again preemptively rejected the peace plan that the Trump administration is working on, amid an ongoing and deep rift with the US.Abbas told the PNC that he plans to take unspecified “tough steps” soon against Israel and the United States.Abbas told the hundreds of delegates that he was sticking to his rejection of any US proposals for an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal following the Trump administration’s recognition in December of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and a decision to move the US Embassy there in mid-May.“This is completely unacceptable,” he said, during the opening of a four-day meeting in the West Bank. “We will not accept this deal, and we will not accept the US as the sole broker.”Abbas appeared to dismiss media reports quoting Saudi Arabia’s powerful crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, as saying the Palestinians should stop complaining and accept what they are being offered by the Trump administration.Abbas did not refer to those reports specifically, but said he has been assured that Saudi Arabia remains supportive of the Palestinian positions. “We hear lots of rumors,” he told the delegates. “Don’t believe them.”The 82-year-old Abbas warned that he might “take tough steps in the near future in our relationship with our neighbors (Israel) and the Americans.” He did not elaborate, but said they would be important and far-reaching.-Hamas and Gaza-The meeting of the Palestinian National Council comes at a time of deep divisions between Abbas and his domestic rival, the Hamas terror group that controls the Gaza Strip.Hamas has raised its profile in recent weeks by organizing mass protests on the Gaza border with Israel. In the weekly marches, thousands of Palestinians gather near the border fence, with smaller groups approaching the barrier, throwing stones or firebombs and burning tires.More than 40 protesters have been killed and more than 1,700 wounded by Israeli army fire over the past month, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza. Israel, which has come under mounting international criticism for the use of lethal force against the protesters, says it has the right to defend its border. It accuses Hamas of using the protests as cover for attacks and has shown groups trying to breach the fence. Hamas has acknowledged that five of those killed on the first Friday of the riots were its members, and has since been silent on whether fatalities were its members.Israel says the 6,000 residents of nearby Israeli communities would be in mortal peril if the Hamas-led Palestinians breached the fence.Abbas praised the “brothers in Hamas” for belatedly adopting what he called peaceful resistance. “Thank God, they (Hamas) finally agreed and this is effective,” he said, while urging organizers to keep their children from protests along the border between Israel and Gaza, warning of a “handicapped” generation.“Keep the young men from the border, move the children away, we do not want to become handicapped people,” he said.Hamas leaders have declared that the protests aim to erase the border and liberate Palestine, and some have suggested there would be an eventual mass breach of the border.Despite the rare praise for his rivals, Abbas posed tough conditions for ending the internal rift that broke open in 2007, when Hamas drove Abbas-loyal forces from Gaza a year after winning Palestinian parliament elections. Since the Hamas takeover, Israel and Egypt have enforced a border blockade on Gaza, aimed at stopping the inflow of rockets and weapons.Egyptian mediators have proposed that Abbas assume government responsibilities in Gaza as a way of ending the blockade. Abbas said Monday that he will do so only if Hamas hands over all authority — an unlikely prospect since the terror group refuses to give up control over its weapons.“Either they give us everything or they take everything,” Abbas said of Hamas.A new leadership-Later this week, the Palestinian National Council is to elect a new PLO Executive Committee, an 18-member leadership group that has served in recent years to rubberstamp any decisions by Abbas.The elections, tightly controlled by Abbas, are expected to install a new group of loyalists in the committee.

Alleged Israeli strike in Syria shows readiness to pay to remove seismic threats-The blast following a suspected Israeli air raid, which registered a 2.6 on the Richter scale, indicates target was highly explosive, ex-intel chief says-By Judah Ari Gross-TOI-MAY 1,18

The explosion in Syria’s Hama province late Sunday night, which has been attributed to an Israeli airstrike, registered 2.6 on the Richter scale — a small earthquake, the kind that won’t knock down a building, but might knock a picture off your shelf.The epicenter of this tremor was a military base south of the city of Hama, which is connected to the Syrian military’s 47th Brigade and has been identified by Syrian opposition sources as being under Iranian control and housing a weapons depot.Casualty reports from the strike varied, ranging from 16 to 38 people killed. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that there were 26 fatalities, most of them Iranian.Iran has officially denied losing any troops in the explosion. But if the reported Iranian death tolls are to be believed, the Sunday night strike could be one of the deadliest in more than six years of the civil war in Syria.The massive explosion near Hama, which could be felt and seen throughout the area, was not likely caused by the missile or rocket used, but by the target that was hit.“It may be ballistic missiles with heavy warheads. The level of explosion that even moved the needle of an earthquake detector is not from the munition that attacked these places, but from the target,” said Amos Yadlin, a former head of Military Intelligence and the current director of the influential Institute for National Security Studies think tank.Yadlin, speaking to reporters in a phone briefing organized by the Israel Project, noted that the strike came after CNN reported last week that Israeli and American intelligence services were closely monitoring flights between Iran and Syria, including to Hama, out of an understanding that these aircraft were being used to transport advanced weaponry.One eagle-eyed digital skywatcher, using open source flight tracking software, spotted an apparent transport lift from Mehrabad toward Hama and then from Hama to Damascus the night before the strike.Plane of Interest: Syrian Arab Air Force 585th Transport Squadron of the 29th Air Brigade’s four-engine turbofan strategic airlifter Ilyushin Il-76T YK-ATD flew from Tehran Mehrabad to -likely- Hamah military airport through Iraqi airspace. pic.twitter.com/AzqM3n5QlE— Yörük Işık (@YorukIsik) April 28, 2018-In general, the concern in Jerusalem is that precise medium- and long-range missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles — like the armed one that Israel says entered its airspace in February — or sophisticated air defense systems will make their way into Syria or to Hezbollah in Lebanon.If Israeli intelligence spots such a shipment, the country’s decision-makers must determine if the risk of retaliation outweighs the threat posed by the incoming system in question.“Do we confront Iran before it has these capabilities, or do we wait?” Yadlin said.If Israel were indeed behind Sunday night’s attack, the answer seems to be the former.A second site in Syria, near an airfield outside Aleppo, was also reportedly hit late Sunday night, though the destruction there was apparently not as extensive. Photographs from the scene show that this second target was a large building with a sign reading, “Zeido Auto Test Center.” Photographs from inside the building, posted to social media by the Israeli defense blog Intelli Times, showed that it could also be used as a potential storage facility for weapons.Posted by ‎אינטלי טיימס‎ on Monday, 30 April 2018-These advanced weapons systems are not comparable to the threat of a nuclear Iran, Yadlin said, but are still “very serious.”The week before the CNN report, Israeli officials also leaked a map and satellite images of five Syria airfields and Tehran’s Mehrabad airport, from which these alleged arms shipments were taking off. While the Hama base was not included in this map, the Aleppo airfield — the site of the second strike on Sunday night — was one of the five sites.No one thus far has taken responsibility for the attack, nor has Iran or Syria made any specific accusations, though some outlets affiliated with Iran and its proxies have indicated that Israel is believed to be behind it.Notably silent in the aftermath of the late night strike is Russia, which was far more vocal following an April 9 strike on a central Syrian air base.There was initial speculation that the attack may have been carried out by Syrian rebel forces in the nearby city of al-Rastan — the Hama base had reportedly been used in the past to carry out strikes against opposition forces — but Yadlin dismissed this as highly unlikely given the level of sophistication involved.“The power and precision points to state-grade operational capabilities,” he said.This effectively leaves either the United States and its coalition with the United Kingdom and France — which attacked targets in Syria earlier this month in response to a chemical weapons attack by dictator Bashar Assad’s forces — and Israel — which has been waging a quiet war with Iran and its proxies as the Islamic Republic tries to entrench itself militarily in Syria.“I think the latter makes more sense than the former,” Yadlin said.However, while the US might not have been behind the Hama strike, it at least appeared to have given it some degree of tacit approval for it.The attack came hours after a short official visit by newly named US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a day after a phone call between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump, and while Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman was in the United States on his own official visit there. It also followed a largely unpublicized trip by the head of the US military in the Middle East, Gen. Joseph Votel, last week.These visits and phone calls were more likely directly connected to Netanyahu’s announcement Monday night that Israel had obtained half a ton of secret Iranian files proving a nuclear weapons program whose existence it has consistently denied. However, they nevertheless gave the appearance of coordination.Israel doesn’t need American permission for strikes in Syria, but diplomatic support and “legitimacy,” Yadlin said.An April 9 strike on an allegedly Iran-controlled portion of the Syrian T-4 air base near Palmyra killed 14 people, including at least seven members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. In that case, Israel was explicitly accused by Iran, Syria and Russia of carrying out the attack. Israeli officials refused to comment.Unlike with Sunday night’s deaths, these casualties were reported in semi-official Iranian outlets, one of the few times that Tehran has publicly recognized any losses in Syria.In the weeks following the attack on T-4, Iranian officials made a number of direct threats against Israel, indicating that reprisals were only a matter of time.But by not formally acknowledging the dead and injured from Sunday, Iran can avoid the type of public humiliation that would otherwise force it to retaliate immediately.An official in the pro-Assad alliance in Syria — made up of Assad, Iran, Hezbollah and Shiite militias — told The New York Times on Monday that Iran’s response may instead come in approximately one week, after Lebanon holds parliamentary elections on May 6, as to not interfere with the chances of the multiple Hezbollah candidates who are running.According to Yadlin, an additional body count from Sunday’s strike would not dramatically alter Iran’s plans if it had already decided to retaliate for the April 9 attack on the T-4 base.The former intelligence chief said an Iranian retaliatory strike could take several forms: a missile attack from Syria, Lebanon or Iran itself; an assault on one of Israel’s borders; or the bombing of an Israeli or Jewish site abroad, as in the 1994 bombing of a Buenos Aires Jewish community center.The Iranians “can use a proxy or they can do it directly,” Yadlin said.The prospect of such a retaliation presents a major dilemma to Israel. Is the price of a reprisal worth the benefit of preventing Iran and its proxies from bringing advanced weaponry to Israel’s doorstep? Yadlin offered a comparison to Hezbollah in Lebanon, where Israel did not take the same level of constant action in order to prevent its arms buildup.The Iran-backed organization, which was estimated to have an arsenal of a little over 10,000 rockets during the 2006 Second Lebanon War, is now believed by the Israeli military to possess nearly 150,000 rockets and missiles today. Once a two-bit terrorist group, Hezbollah is now considered the primary threat to the Israel Defense Forces. With significant experience from its fighting in Syria, Hezbollah has grown to become the enemy by which the IDF measures its preparedness.At the same time, Israel has had nearly no direct clashes with Hezbollah in the almost 12 years since the Second Lebanon War.“[Do you] pay a small price now by preventing or a high price in the future?” Yadlin said.While the prospect of a future high price may seem the less preferable option, especially in light of the threat posed by Hezbollah — in the tumultuous Middle East, an extra few years of relative quiet is not an insignificant achievement.Yet Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman has said repeatedly that Israel is prepared to pay the small price today.“I know one thing for sure — we will not allow Iranian entrenchment in Syria. Whatever the cost. We have no other choice,” Liberman said during a tour of northern Israel earlier this month.

Mossad stole Iran’s nuke archive and smuggled it back to Israel the same night-MAY 1,18-Senior Israeli official tells The New York Times the spy agency discovered the warehouse in 2016 and had it under surveillance; Trump briefed on raid by Mossad chief Yossi Cohen-By TOI staff-MAY 1,18

Spies from Israel’s Mossad agency discovered the top-secret location of a warehouse used to store Iran’s nuclear weapons files, broke into the building, took half a ton of documents and managed to smuggle them back to Israel that same night, The New York Times reported Monday.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed the daring operation as he displayed the trove of documents in a presentation aimed at proving that Iran has lied about its atomic weapon’s program.However, he gave few details on how or when the agents managed what he called one of the “greatest achievements” of Israeli intelligence.A senior Israeli official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a secret mission, told the New York Times that the Mossad discovered the warehouse in February 2016, and had the building under surveillance since then.The operatives broke into the building one night last January, removed the original documents and smuggled them back to Israel the same night, the official said, according to the paper.US President Donald Trump was informed of the operation by the Mossad chief, Yossi Cohen, on a visit to Washington in January, the official said.The official said the delay in making the material public was due to the time it took to analyze the documents, the vast majority of which were in Persian.Netanyahu described the archive as looking like a “dilapidated warehouse” in the Shorabad District in southern Tehran.“This is where they kept the atomic archives. Right here. Few Iranians knew where it was, very few, and also a few Israelis,” Netanyahu said.“Now, from the outside, this was an innocent looking compound. It looks like a dilapidated warehouse. But from the inside, it contained Iran’s secret atomic archives locked in massive files,” he said.He showed a picture, showing long rows of safes and said that the agents managed to bring back “half a ton of the material” consisting of fifty-five thousand pages and another 55,000 files on 183 CDs.The cache, he said, contained “incriminating documents, incriminating charts, incriminating presentations, incriminating blueprints, incriminating photos, incriminating videos and more.“We’ve shared this material with the United States, and the United States can vouch for its authenticity,” he said of the information.

W. House says Israel info shows ‘new and compelling details’ on Iran nuke effort-Washington aware of Iran intel released by Netanyahu and examining it 'carefully;' Pompeo confirms documents are authentic-By Eric Cortellessa and AFP-TOI-MAY 1,18

WASHINGTON — The White House said late Monday that the trove of information  released earlier in the day by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “provides new and compelling details about Iran’s efforts to develop missile-deliverable nuclear weapons.”Meanwhile, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, until last week director of the CIA, said the documents were authentic and much of it was new to US experts.The statement comes after Netanyahu’s broadcast in which the prime minister revealed that Israel had obtained 100,000 secret Iranian documents pertaining to the program.“The United States is aware of the information just released by Israel and continues to examine it carefully,” the White House said.“This information provides new and compelling details about Iran’s efforts to develop missile-deliverable nuclear weapons,” it said. “These facts are consistent with what the United States has long known: Iran has a robust, clandestine nuclear weapons program that it has tried and failed to hide from the world and from its own people.”“The Iranian regime has shown it will use destructive weapons against its neighbors and others. Iran must never have nuclear weapons.”Pompeo met Netanyahu on Sunday at Israeli military headquarters and was briefed on the material, which was released as Washington’s new top diplomat flew home.“We’ve known about this material for a while and we certainly discussed this material yesterday when we were together,” Pompeo told reporters on his plane.“It’s been something that’s been in the works for a while. I know that there are people talking about these documents not being authentic. I can confirm with you, for you, that these documents are real, they are authentic.”Asked whether the United States had been aware for many years that Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program — dubbed Project Amad — before 2004, Pompeo said: “That’s partly true. The existence of the Amad program ended roughly in December 2003, January 2004.“It’s accurate to say that the knowledge of that, the fact of that, has been known for quite some time, but there are thousands of new documents and new information,” the top US diplomat added.“We’re still going through it, there’s still a lot of work to do to figure out the scope and scale of it, but it is the case that there is new information about that program.”Earlier in the evening US President Donald Trump said  “what we’ve learned has really shown that I’ve been 100 percent right.”“That is just not an acceptable situation, and I’ve been saying that’s happening,” he went on in the White House Rose Garden, alongside Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari. “They’re not sitting back idly; they’re setting off missiles, which they say are for television purposes? I don’t think so.”The American leader also declined to share whether he’s decided to walk away from the landmark agreement by May 12, the next deadline to waive sanctions against the Islamic Republic under the deal. Trump last signed those waivers in January, but he said he would not again unless Congress and European allies amend the pact.“We’ll see what happens,” he said. “I’m not telling you what I’m doing, but a lot of people think they know. On or before the 12th, we’ll make a decision. That doesn’t mean we won’t negotiate a real agreement. You know, this is an agreement that wasn’t approved by too many people, and it’s a horrible agreement for the United States, including the fact… that we gave Iran $150 billion and $1.8 billion in cash.“You know what we got?” Trump continued. “We got nothing. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t negotiate a new agreement, we’ll see what happens.”Trump’s press conference came less than an hour after the Israeli premier delivered remarks that were billed as providing dramatic information about Iran’s nuclear program.Speaking in English at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu displayed slides from documents he said Israel recently obtained from a top-secret facility in Tehran detailing Iran’s long-held nuclear ambitions.“Iran lied,” Netanyahu said. “Big time.”The trove that Israel’s Mossad unearthed, he added, amounted to a half-ton of material, including “incriminating documents, incriminating charts, incriminating presentations, incriminating blueprints, incriminating photos, incriminating videos and more.”“We’ve shared this material with the United States and the United States can vouch for its authenticity,” he said.Trump, in his press availability, told reporters that he did not think the US reneging on the Obama-era agreement hurt American credibility in its negotiations over North Korea’s nuclear program.Critics have said that if the United States doesn’t live by its commitments with Iran, North Korea won’t be able to trust it would do so in another arms control agreement.“I think it sends the right message,” Trump said. “In seven years, that deal will have expired and Iran is free to go ahead and create nuclear weapons. That’s not acceptable. Seven years is tomorrow. That’s not acceptable.”

EU: Netanyahu exposé erodes Iran’s credibility, but that’s why we needed deal-Prime minister has 'not put into question Iran's compliance' with 2015 landmark agreement, claims union's foreign policy czar Federica Mogherini-By Raphael Ahren-TOI-MAY 1,18

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s revelations about Iran’s past illicit nuclear weapons program do somewhat diminish the Islamic Republic’s credibility, but Iran’s dishonesty is one of the reasons why the 2015 nuclear agreement with Tehran was necessary in the first place, according to a European diplomat.“All of this obviously raises some questions regarding Iran’s credibility,” the official told The Times of Israel on Monday evening, immediately after Netanyahu had concluded his presentation, in which he detailed Iran’s nuclear weapons as documented through to 2015 in Iran’s own archive, obtained by Israeli intelligence. “But we made the nuclear deal precisely because we don’t trust the Iranians, not because we considered them very trustworthy.”Commenting later Monday, European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini similarly argued that six world powers struck the nuclear deal with Iran precisely because of Tehran’s history of lying about its secret nuclear weapons programs.The pact “was put in place exactly because there was no trust between the parties; otherwise we would not have required a nuclear deal to be put in place,” she said.Netanyahu failed to present any evidence showing that Iran was violating the terms of the agreement, known as Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, she stated.“What I have seen from the first reports is that Prime Minister Netanyahu has not put into question Iran’s compliance with the JCPOA commitments, meaning post-2015 nuclear commitments,” she said in response to Netanyahu’s presentation, delivered at the Tel Aviv headquarters of Israel’s defense establishment.She acknowledged that she would first “need to assess the details” of Netanyahu’s remarks and get the International Atomic Energy Agency’s assessment.“The JCPOA, the nuclear agreement, is not based on assumptions of good faith or trust — it is based on concrete commitments, verification mechanisms and a very strict monitoring of facts, done by the IAEA,” she went on. The IAEA has certified at least 10 times that “Iran has fully complied with its commitments” under the current deal, she added.“And in any case, if any party and if any country has information of non-compliance, of any kind, it can and should address and channel this information to the proper, legitimate, recognized mechanisms.”Mogherini chairs the a “Joint Commission” instituted under the Iran deal that is charged with monitoring the deal’s implementation and which convened on March 16 in Vienna. “We have mechanisms in place to address eventual concerns,” she said.In a bid to get the international community to abandon its support for the nuclear deal in its current format, Netanyahu on Monday evening said he was revealing “new and conclusive proof of the secret nuclear weapons program that Iran has been hiding for years from the international community in its secret atomic archive.”He also said Iran had breached the deal by failing to “come clean” about the illicit nuclear weapons program it had secretly been developing.Citing some of more than 100,000 documents the Mossad spy agency obtained, Netanyahu showed that Iran had indeed been working on obtaining a nuclear bomb.“We’ve known for years that Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program called Project Amad. We can now prove that Project Amad was a comprehensive program to design, build and test nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said. “We can also prove that Iran is secretly storing Project Amad material to use at a time of its choice to develop nuclear weapons.”The current deal is “terrible deal” and “should never have been concluded,” he said, indicating that hoped that US President Donald Trump would soon announce his withdrawal from the agreement if it cannot be fixed. “I’m sure he’ll do the right thing. The right thing for the United States, the right thing for Israel and the right thing for the peace of the world,” he said.After his presentation of the Iranian archive materials, which he said he had already shared with the US, Netanyahu phoned French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel to update them on the Mossad’s intelligence haul.He send he would send “professional teams” to Berlin and Paris to share the information he partially revealed on Monday. What he presented, he said, was a “fragment” of the material.Netanyahu also spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to a readout provided by the Kremlin, Moscow was thoroughly unimpressed. “The deal, which is of paramount importance to ensuring international stability and security, must be strictly observed by all parties,” Putin told Netanyahu.????conversation b/w President Vladimir #Putin & Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu: #JCPOA, regional affairs #Syria https://t.co/ekjGGKL883 in Russian ➡️https://t.co/2arvd0l7cw pic.twitter.com/4ssV8iJ9Y4— Russia???????? in Israel (@israel_mid_ru) April 30, 2018-Earlier on Monday, Putin spoke to Macron about the merits of the Iran deal. “The Russian and French presidents called for preserving and strictly implementing the plan,” the Kremlin stated.Netanyahu also plans to speak to the leaders of Britain and China, the other signatories of the Iran deal, in the coming days, according to his office.

PM’s Iran revelations unlikely to diminish global support for nuclear accord-Defenders of the deal say the Mossad's impressive catch confirms what was already known: Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program. Signatories other than the US will be unmoved-By Raphael Ahren-MAY 1,18

Just in time for the 8 p.m. evening news, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday presented the nation — and the world — with an impressive achievement by Israel’s Mossad spy agency. Agents were able to obtain more than 100,000 files from Iran’s own archive filled with top-secret information about the regime’s past illicit nuclear weapons program.Four hours earlier, his office heralded a statement on a “significant development regarding the nuclear agreement with Iran.” Netanyahu would deliver his speech at the Kirya, the Tel Aviv headquarter of Israel’s defense establishment, and not, as he usually does, at his Jerusalem office. His aides promised stunning revelations that would change the way the world looks at the Iran deal.“Tonight, we’re going to show you something that the world has never seen before,” Netanyahu said at the beginning of his presentation. “Tonight, we are going to reveal new and conclusive proof of the secret nuclear weapons program that Iran has been hiding for years from the international community in its secret atomic archive.”But did his 20-minute presentation deliver the goods? “The information in the documents Netanyahu revealed is not new,” tweeted Dan Shapiro, who was US ambassador to Israel under President Barack Obam and is a supporter of the deal. “It confirms what we have long known. Iran had a nuclear weapons program, froze but preserved it in 2003, and continues to preserve it to restart at a time of its choosing.”The information in the documents Netanyahu revealed is not new. It confirms what we have long known. Iran had a nuclear weapons program, froze but preserved it in 2003, and continues to preserve it to restart at a time of its choosing. 2/7— Dan Shapiro (@DanielBShapiro) April 30, 2018-Many analysts concurred, noting that the International Atomic Energy Agency acknowledged as much years ago.Even some Israeli officials staunchly opposed to the deal expressed a certain level of disappointment in private conversations with Netanyahu’s much-hyped presentation, having expected tangible proof that Iran is violating the accord’s terms.Citing original Iranian documents, Netanyahu showed that Iran lied about never having had a nuclear weapons program. He also presented evidence that Iran, even after the 2015 landmark deal with six world powers, is seeking to expand its nuclear knowhow for future use. But none of this surprised the experts.According to the deal, Iran was obligated to come clean about its past but failed to do so, the prime minister showed. That is, strictly speaking, a violation of the deal. A grave violation, in Netanyahu’s view, but marginalized as a technicality by others. European officials, reacting to the speech, were unmoved. Unsurprisingly, so too was Vladimir Putin’s Russia.Netanyahu presented no real smoking gun regarding the period since the deal was finalized. He did not prove that Iran is violating the operative terms of the pact. He did not claim that the Iranians have resumed activity banned under the deal, such as enriching uranium to weapons-grade levels.“The nuclear deal is based on lies. It’s based on Iranian lies and Iranian deception,” Netanyahu said, referring to the fact that leaders in Tehran have always denied — and continue to deny — ever having sought nuclear weapons.But few people outside Iran ever disputed the existence of the Islamic Republic’s previous nuclear weapons program, know as Project Amad.“We never denied that Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program,” a Western diplomat told The Times of Israel, reacting even as Netanyahu was still speaking.At the end of his remarks, Netanyahu appeared to indicate a hope — but not explicitly state it — that US President Donald Trump will announce that he’s quitting the deal by May 12.“I’m sure he’ll do the right thing. The right thing for the United States, the right thing for Israel and the right thing for the peace of the world,” Netanyahu said.The prime minister’s presentation, delivered mostly in English, might have been aimed mostly at the occupant of the White House. Netanyahu may have been worried that Trump was having second thoughts about leaving the deal. Trump’s comments, at the White House soon afterwards, were inconclusive.Either way, the five other countries that signed the deal with Iran in 2015 — France, Britain, Germany, China and Russia — will mostly likely remain unfazed by Netanyahu’s presentation.“All of this obviously raises some questions regarding Iran’s credibility,” the European diplomat told The Times of Israel, minutes after the prime minister had concluded his remarks. “But we made the nuclear deal precisely because we don’t trust the Iranians, not because we considered them very trustworthy.”Ilan Goldenberg, an expert on Iran at the Center for a New American Security, similarly argued that Iran’s past lies necessitated the nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).“Of course Iran lied in the past about its nuclear program. That is precisely WHY we have the JCPOA which does not just take them at their word but puts in place one of the deepest, most intrusive inspections regime in history,” he tweeted.1. Of course Iran lied in the past about its nuclear program. That is precisely WHY we have the JCPOA which does not just take them at their word but puts in place one of the deepest most intrusive inspections regime in history— Ilan Goldenberg (@ilangoldenberg) April 30, 2018-While the fact that the Iranians had an illicit nuclear weapons program isn’t new, “there could be valuable new information in the material Netanyahu is talking about,” Goldenberg noted.“The smart thing to do would be to go through all this intelligence [and] if there is compelling evidence of problematic behavior press Iran on it.”Goldenberg said the information gleaned from the Mossad’s catch — Netanyahu boasted of “a half ton of material,” including 55,000 pages plus 55,000 additional files on 183 CDs — should be handed to the IAEA, which would “investigate concerns that have been raised by this information, including, if necessary, inspections of military sites or any other sites the IAEA needs access to” based on term JCPOA’s terms. (Netanyahu said he would share the material with the agency.) If Iran were to refuse international inspectors access to the suspected sites, there would be global consensus for a restoration of the sanctions suspended by the deal, Goldenberg posited.Netanyahu would doubtless argue with some of diplomats’ and analysts’ logic: How can you,and why would you, cut deals with people you don’t trust? But five of the six countries that negotiated and signed the agreement believed, and still believe, that its verification mechanism is sufficient to ensure Iran is unable to clandestinely break out and produce enough fissile material for a nuclear bomb, at least for the duration of the accord.The US is indeed likely to pull out of the deal next month, reinstating nuclear-related sanctions on the Islamic Republic. The Europeans, the Russians and the Chinese have already said they would not follow suit. And the early signs are that Netanyahu’s remarks on Monday have done nothing to change their minds.

French envoy to Israel: ‘Possibility of war’ if Iran nuke deal collapses-Ambassador Hélène Le Gal warns that if US pulls out of deal, as Trump has threatened, Tehran will do so too, escalating tensions-By TOI staff and Agencies-APR 30,18

If the US pulls out of the Iranian nuclear deal, Tehran will likely do the same, increasing the chance of war, said French Ambassador to Israel Hélène Le Gal, speaking to Hebrew media as French President Emmanuel Macron wrapped up his visit to Washington this week.Macron paid a state visit to the US capital, meeting with US President Donald Trump in part to discuss the 2015 Iranian nuclear agreement and plead for a more comprehensive “new agreement” that would address what he and Trump believe to be shortcomings of the existing accord.Trump — a fierce opponent of the agreement signed by Tehran and international powers — must declare by May 12 if he will essentially walk away from the existing deal when the renewal deadline arrives on May 12, or stay in.Le Gal told Ynet that Macron and Trump have “a very good relationship,” and in their meeting, held “very long discussions about a number of issues, including Iran.”The French ambassador said that Macron told Trump that France was “not naive about Iran and about the role of Iran in the region,” but that the world powers must have “a comprehensive approach to this problem, a full pillar approach, and the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action as the Iran deal is officially called] is one of those pillars.”The other pillars, Le Gal said, include a plan for what happens after 2025 when United Nations sanctions on Iran lift and Security Council Resolution 2231 endorsing the JCPOA expires, requiring a new vote on sanctions; a joint approach on Iran’s contentious ballistic missile program; and reining in Iran’s regional role, particularly in Syria.Le Gal said that Macron and Trump discussed these issues “very thoroughly,” and that work must be done to implement the nuclear deal very “toughly, with inspections, with everything provided in the deal.”She said the nuclear deal “prevents Iran from launching a nuclear military program until at least 2015. If the nuclear deal is canceled, Iran will immediately restart this program. We need the JCPOA to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons. We don’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon, not now or ever.”If the deal collapses, she went on, “there will be huge consequences because I don’t think Iran will stay in the deal if the US is going [to leave]. The possibility of war exists.”Trump has branded the Iran deal “insane” and the “worst” in history. He made killing the Iran nuclear accord a campaign pledge during his 2016 presidential run.After his talk on Wednesday with Trump, Macron said the US president may well pull out of the Iran nuclear deal for domestic political reasons.Near the end of his three-day state visit, Macron told US media that while he did not know specifically what Trump will decide, he believes the US leader “will get rid of this deal on his own, for domestic reasons.”“The rational analysis of all his statements does not make me think that he will do everything to maintain” the agreement signed with Iran to prevent the Islamic republic from acquiring an atomic bomb.The proposal that Macron put forward to his US counterpart involves preserving the existing agreement on the first of “four pillars” of a future deal, as mentioned by Le Gal.Addressing the US Congress on Wednesday, Macron said: “It is true to say that this agreement may not address all concerns, and very important concerns. This is true. But we should not abandon it without having something substantial and more substantial instead.”In January, Trump kept the deal alive by waiving sanctions against Iran as required by the pact every six months. But he said flatly it would be the last time he did that unless serious changes were made to the accord.He specifically called for three major changes: amending the sunset clauses, banning Iran’s capacity to test ballistic missiles, which are currently in violation of UN resolutions but not the nuclear deal, and granting inspectors greater access to Iran’s military sites.These demands were issued as an ultimatum to Congress and America’s European allies. Trump said that if these alterations were not struck by May 12, the next deadline to waive sanctions, he would walk away from the nuclear deal.With that deadline mere weeks away, Macron has seemingly sought to find a middle ground with Trump.Eric Cortellessa contributed to this report.

Confident Pompeo due in Israel on Middle East diplomatic debut-New US secretary of state heads to Riyadh, Jerusalem, and Amman on trip to meet with 'key allies' in the region-By AFP and TOI staff-APR 30,18
Washington’s newly appointed secretary of state set off on a tour of America’s key Middle East allies on Saturday, vowing to bring some “swagger” back to US diplomacy.After attending NATO talks in Brussels, Mike Pompeo was to embark on a three-day trip to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Jordan to update “key allies and partners in the region,” as referenced by State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert, on President Donald Trump’s plans for the Iran nuclear deal. Pompeo is set to return to the US on April 30.Pompeo insists his boss has not yet made the decision, but Trump is widely expected to pull the United States out of the accord next month, re-imposing sanctions against Tehran’s nuclear program.The former CIA chief, who was sworn in as Trump’s top diplomat on Thursday and set off within two hours for Brussels, will consult with leaders of Iran’s main regional opponents ahead of the announcement.But he also has a second more personal mission, to show foreign capitals and his own colleagues that US diplomacy is back on track after the troubled reign of his sacked predecessor Rex Tillerson.Trump’s first secretary of state, a former oil executive, failed to fill senior positions, embarked on unpopular bureaucratic reforms, and had conspicuously little chemistry with the president.Pompeo — a former army officer, businessman, and conservative congressman — wanted to set off on the road immediately on being sworn in, in order to reach out to NATO and Middle East allies.The former Kansas politician is seen as an anti-Iran hawk with hardline views about projecting US military might.In Saudi Arabia on Saturday, Pompeo is due to hold talks with his counterpart Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir in Riyadh, before having dinner with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.The prince, or MBS as he is commonly known, is the kingdom’s de facto ruler and a would-be social reformer who launched an anti-corruption drive to secure his own control over the oil-rich royal elite.Like Trump and Pompeo, he is a tough opponent of Iran, but his war against the Tehran-backed Huthi militia in Yemen is stumbling and has contributed to the country’s large-scale humanitarian disaster.Trump also wants Riyadh to do more and spend more to support the US-led operation in Syria to defeat the Islamic State group and allow American forces to come home more quickly.-Promises diplomacy, ‘swagger’-Where Tillerson was seen as a voice for moderation in the Trump administration, Pompeo is viewed as a hawk who could combine with new White House National Security Adviser John Bolton to back Trump’s aggressive posturing on the world stage.Democrats challenged Pompeo on his hawkish views in a confirmation hearing earlier this month.Pompeo, who Trump hailed as an “incredible asset for our country at this critical time in history,” was accused by Democrats as being too bellicose, and of harboring anti-Muslim and homophobic sentiments.But after barely getting the nomination past the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he was easily confirmed by the entire body in a vote of 57-42, with a handful of Democratic senators facing tough reelection battles voting in favor.Despite his conservative religious background, he also insisted his record at the CIA was one of openness toward Muslim and gay and lesbian employees, though a number of Democrats said he was not convincing.“He will always put the interests of America first,” Trump said. “He has my trust. He has my support.”Pompeo has insisted his focus will be on diplomatic solutions to problems, while pledging to bring “swagger once again” to the State Department.He promised to address State Department staff in Washington on his return on Tuesday, and was full of praise for the staff who scrambled to put together his first foreign itinerary.“I just met with a great group of State Department officers who work here at the mission. They may have been demoralized, but they seemed in good spirits,” he said Friday, at NATO headquarters.“They are hopeful that the State Department will get its swagger back, that we will be out doing the things that they came onboard at the State Department to do,” he promised.“To be professional, to deliver diplomacy — American diplomacy — around the world, that’s my mission set, to build that esprit and get the team on the field so that we can effectuate American diplomacy.”-Secret North Korea trip-A veteran who graduated first in his class at the elite US Military Academy at West Point, and later earned a law degree from Harvard, the 54-year-old served four terms as a Republican congressman from Kansas before Trump tapped him to head the Central Intelligence Agency last year.There, he promised a more “vicious” intelligence operation, making unapologetically menacing statements toward North Korea and Iran.He also earned Trump’s ear in regular intelligence briefings at the White House, accommodating Trump’s desire for simplified, visual presentations rather than detailed texts on the world’s security dangers.Behind the scenes, he made numerous trips abroad to meet foreign political and security leaders, especially in the Middle East. He also took the lead in creating a dialogue with North Korea as Pyongyang demonstrated its theoretical ability to strike the United States with a nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missile.In late March, Pompeo secretly traveled to Pyongyang, where he met with Kim to discuss what could become a historic summit between the two countries possibly as early as in May.“He’s the perfect person to come in at this time and lead those efforts diplomatically,” Republican Senator Bob Corker said ahead of the vote.

Key Iceland parliament committee favors scrapping bill to ban circumcision-Judicial council's recommendation all but seals fate of legislation, say Jewish groups, but lawmaker behind it says she hopes to re-raise issue-By JTA and TOI staff-APR 30,18

A judicial committee of Iceland’s parliament has recommended scrapping a bill that would ban the non-medical circumcision of boys.Lawmakers from four parties submitted the measure for a vote in March pending a review by the Judicial Affairs and Educational Committee, the local news site Visir reported Thursday.With parliament set to recess this week, Jewish groups opposing the measure to ban said it was highly unlikely that it would come to vote, especially after the committee’s recommendation.However, the lawmaker behind the legislation, Silja Dögg Gunnarsdóttir, has expressed hope her measure would be raised again after the recess.The bill, which calls the Jewish and Muslim custom cruel and dangerous, would make Iceland the only European country where non-medical circumcision of boys under 18 is illegal. Across Europe, the custom is under attack by liberals who find it a violation of children’s rights and nationalists who argue it is foreign to European culture.In recent weeks, international Jewish groups have lobbied Icelandic officials and lawmakers intensively to have the bill scrapped. They argue that a circumcision ban would constitute a death sentence for Jewish community life in Iceland, where 200 Jews live, and set a precedent for attempts elsewhere to ban circumcision and thus endanger religious freedoms.The Chairman of the European Jewish Association Rabbi Menachem Margolin praised the recommendation from the judicial affairs committee this week in a Friday statement.“I welcome the apparent demise of what was a discriminatory, unnecessary, and fundamentally anti-Jewish bill,” he said, asserting that the legislation “sought to criminalize an entire faith.”“Whilst we welcome the news, we must remain vigilant. In our experience bills such as this do not come out in isolation but represent an idea that knows no borders,” Margolin added.The US’s Orthodox Union, which helped lobby against the bill, similarly praised the recent development in Iceland.“We are extremely gratified that members of the Icelandic government heard our concerns, understood the importance of this issue, and responded accordingly,” the group said.Last week, officials from Iceland’s Government Agency for Child Protection – an advisory body whose policy is independent from the government — said it will not support the bill if it is brought to a vote.Separately, in Denmark, a petition favoring a circumcision ban has received 90 percent of its target of 50,000 signatures. Once that number is reached, the petition will go up for a vote on a draft resolution in the parliament. Petition organizers have until August to collect the needed signatures.

In Krakow, Jews celebrate their community’s ‘revival’ amid rising xenophobia-During one of the worst waves of anti-Semitism in decades, a tsunami of hate speech has community Jews kitting out emergency shelters -- just in case-By Cnaan Liphshiz-APR 30,18-TOI

KRAKOW, Poland (JTA) — At one of Poland’s plushest synagogues, leaders of this city’s small but vibrant Jewish community welcomed visitors from around the world to a celebration of what the hosts call their minority’s “revival” in this country.The occasion for the party Sunday at Tempel Synagogue was the 10th anniversary of the adjacent Jewish Community Center of Krakow, located in the heart of the city’s historic Jewish quarter, Kazimierz.Since its opening in 2008, the three-story building, with its club for some 60 Holocaust survivors and newly opened Jewish kindergarten, has become a symbol for the return of Jewish community life to the city near Auschwitz, where the Nazis obliterated centuries of Jewish presence.“As we have grown, we have also been able to share the story of Krakow’s Jewish revival with hundreds of thousands of visitors,” a beaming Jonathan Ornstein, the New York-born director of JCC Krakow, told the 200 people attending the anniversary party. “Thank you for letting me be a part of the bright, beautiful Jewish future we are building together.”Many of Krakow’s hundreds of Jewish residents acknowledge the progress made since communism, which drove underground what little remained of its Jewish community. But not all of them share Ornstein’s optimism in a country whose nationalist government recently unleashed what critics say is one of the worst waves of anti-Semitic rhetoric in decades.Several blocks away from the JCC, volunteers of the Czulent association of Jewish students are converting the cellar of their building — a former apartment synagogue, or shtiebel — into what Czulent founder Anna Makowka-Kwapisiewicz calls a “safe space.” It’s essentially a room where Jews can hole up in the event of an emergency.“It’s not something I thought I’d be doing in Poland even five years ago,” she said about the shelter.Makowka-Kwapisiewicz said her confidence began to recede two years ago, when five men harassed and intimidated Jewish boys playing at a playground in a poor area of Krakow because one was wearing a kippah. One of the men spat on a Jewish child at the playground while shouting at both kids.The boys’ parents never pressed charges, which is why the incident was not widely reported in the media, said a mother of one of the boys, according to Makowka-Kwapisiewicz, who works for an international nonprofit.Since the fall of communism, such incidents were unheard of in Krakow, a tourist magnet for its Jewish heritage sites and one of the few old Polish cities that was spared major damage during World War II.The city celebrates its ancient Jewish heritage at the annual Jewish Festival, one of the largest events of its kind in Europe. The city’s seven large synagogues — of which three are active — swing open their doors for one night a year, attracting thousands of visitors.On the way to the nearby museum on the grounds of the former Auschwitz death camp, hundreds of thousands of tourists pass through Krakow’s picturesque streets, some of them featuring Jewish-flavored shops and restaurants with Yiddish signs. Many visit the grounds of Oskar Schindler’s factory, where the German industrialist saved hundreds of Jews.The playground incident came one year after the 2015 election of the right-wing Law and Justice party, which some leaders of Polish Jewry and others accuse of encouraging or tolerating a wave of xenophobic incidents, including against Jews.The taboo on open expressions of hatred toward Jews in Poland, where the Nazis killed millions of Jews in the 1940s, began to loosen in 2015, said Makowka-Kwapisiewicz. That year, a far-right activist burned the effigy of a haredi Orthodox Jew during a march against Muslim immigration in Wroclaw.“I never expected I would live in such circumstances,” she added.More recently, in November, tens of thousands of nationalists marched through Warsaw shouting “Jews out” and other racist slogans while carrying banners against Islam. Two weeks after the march, a Warsaw mosque that for years was targeted with threats was vandalized.“When places of worship are being attacked, we need to prepare,” Makowka-Kwapisiewicz said of the shelter her group is preparing.Against this backdrop, the president of the Union of Jewish Communities in Poland, Leslaw Piszewski, and Anna Chipczynska, who heads the Warsaw community, wrote last year to a founder of Law and Justice to say that they are “appalled by recent events and fearful for our security as the situation in our country is becoming more dangerous.”Things went from bad to worse following a row between Poland and Israel over Warsaw passing a law in January that criminalizes blaming the Polish nation for Nazi crimes. The dispute unleashed the worst wave of anti-Semitism since the fall of the Iron Curtain, according to Rafal Pankowski, co-founder of the Polish anti-racism group Never Again.In the wake of the fight over the law, he told JTA: “In the space of one month, I have seen more anti-Semitic hate speech than in the previous 10 years combined.”At least one person reported an assault that he suspected was anti-Semitic: The Catholic journalist Bogdan Bialek said he was attacked by a person who shouted about Bialek’s efforts to commemorate victims of an anti-Semitic pogrom in Kielce in 1946.Poland lacks a systematic effort by the state to collect data on attacks against minority groups, according to Amnesty International, “meaning that authorities have no way of knowing the scope of the problem,” the group said.The tsunami of hate speech about Jews was conducted mostly on social networks, where calls to “stuff TNT up Pankowski’s ass” and “punch him” were recorded after a government official singled him out for attack on Twitter.But since January, several Polish politicians and prominent figures have joined the Twitter rabble.Beata Mazurek, the spokeswoman for Law and Justice and a deputy parliament speaker, favorably tweeted a quote from a Catholic priest who said that the Israeli ambassador’s criticism of the Holocaust bill “made it hard for me to look at Jews with sympathy and kindness.”TVP, a public television station, aired an interview with a priest who said that the Jews’ perception of the truth is whatever is “beneficial” to them or Israel. And the Do Reczy conservative weekly published a drawing showing two silhouettes — one bearing a swastika and the other a Star of David — pointing a gun at a third figure emblazoned with the Polish flag.Last month, Kornel Morawiecki, a former senator whose son, Mateusz, became prime minister last year, said in an interview that Jews moved gladly into ghettos during the Holocaust to avoid having “to deal with those nasty Poles,” as the ex-senator put it.Government officials have consistently vowed to act tough on nationalist extremism, “but at the same time they are encouraging it, creating a schizophrenic attitude,” Makowka-Kwapisiewicz said.Despite the rhetoric, many Poles still say their country is safer for their religious minorities than many Western European countries, where Islamists and other extremists are responsible for hundreds of physical assaults on Jews, including deadly ones.“OK, the situation is less comfortable than one year ago,” Peter Nawrocki, a 44-year-old computer science university professor, told JTA at the JCC celebration. “Extremists are a problem. But this is not France.”Nawrocki is confident that Poland is good place to raise his 1-year-old son, Shimon.“I think Poland is one of the safest places in Europe to be Jewish,” he said, citing the absence in recent years of a violent hate crime attack on a Jew.Anna Swies, a Jewish-American investment consultant with Polish roots, traded Chicago for Krakow six years ago and married a local man. She said she feels “connected” to her true identity here. Having a luxury Jewish kindergarten for her two children, aged 4 and 6, for a fraction of what a comparable institution would cost in the United States “also helps,” she said.But like Makowka-Kwapisiewicz – she said she would like to leave at least for one year or two — other JCC regulars are having a tough time envisioning a future for themselves here because of rising xenophobia.Serhii Chupryna, a Ukrainian-Jewish student who settled in Krakow in 2013 for his studies, said he feels significantly less comfortable living in Poland than he did when he first arrived. As a gay man, “I feel like I’m everything the ultranationalists here hate rolled into one person,” he joked. Adding that “Ukraine is no better,” he said he plans to save some money and move to Israel in a few years.The JCC, with an annual budget of $1.5 million, was set up with help from the World Jewish Relief group in the United Kingdom and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. Chupryna said it has become “something of a safe space” amid growing expressions of hostility.The current reality in Poland makes the JCC’s mission “even more critical,” said Dan Rosenfield, the chair of the World Jewish Relief group, which provides the institution with $140,000 annually.In recent weeks, “things have calmed down a little bit” when it comes to expressions of anti-Semitism, Jonathan Ornstein, the JCC director, told JTA. But even at the height of the anti-Semitic wave, Krakow Jews have not experienced direct assaults, he added.Nonetheless, young people who are now discovering their Jewish ancestry — many Jewish Poles hid it during communism — “are starting to question their place in Poland moving forward,” he said.The new challenges, Ornstein suggested, “are a reminder of how we’ve taken for granted all these incredible positive changes in Poland. When something bad happens, it’s shocking for us, which is maybe a sign of how good we’ve come to expect things to be.”

New bill would entrench Orthodox monopoly over Jewish conversion-US Jewish groups say Rabbinate-appointed panel 'not a compromise,' undermines Diaspora community's connection to Israel-By JTA-APR 30,18-TOI

The Knesset is considering a bill that would give an ultra-Orthodox body a monopoly over Jewish conversion in Israel, and American Jewish groups across the board are unhappy.The bill, which advanced in Israel’s Ministerial Committee for Legislation on April 22, would create an independent Orthodox authority that would control all recognized conversions in Israel. The bill is similar to one, put forth last year and then shelved following a backlash, that would have given Israel’s ultra-Orthodox Chief Rabbinate control over all recognized conversions in Israel.Under the bill currently being considered, the Chief Rabbinate would not control the conversion authority and would not have to sign off on its conversions, but would have a say in who gets appointed to its board, according to the Haaretz daily. The bill would strip recognition from any conversions — Orthodox or not — that occurred outside of the authority’s auspices.For the non-Orthodox denominations like Reform and Conservative Judaism, and rabbis from the more liberal wings of Orthodoxy, any move to consolidate conversions under ultra-Orthodox authority in Israel threatens to sideline their influence and legitimacy.Israel’s Supreme Court ruled in 2016 that the state must allow Jews who converted in private Orthodox courts in Israel to gain citizenship. Reform and Conservative groups have petitioned the court to extend that right to their converts in Israel as well.None of the bills, or the court petitions, affects Jewish conversions outside Israel. Even so, American Jewish groups have objected to the current bill, as they did to last year’s, because it sends the message that only Orthodox conversions are legitimate.The Jewish Religious Equality Coalition, an interdenominational group of Jewish leaders convened by the American Jewish Committee, said the bill “undermines American Jewish connections to, and identification with, Israel as nation-state of the Jewish people.”The Jewish Federations of North America told Haaretz that “This is not a compromise. We urge that the document be sent back to be redrafted with real compromise in mind.”“We had and still have hopes for a reasonable compromise over conversion to Judaism within Israel,” Steven Bayme, national director of AJC’s William Petschek Contemporary Jewish Life Department, said in a statement. “But this proposed bill does not do the job. It excludes the liberal religious movements, enshrines the Orthodox monopoly legislatively and will only further divide the Jewish people.”

Berlin activists to distribute 10,000 kippas in city’s parks on Sunday-Individuals will wear the skullcaps on their own, experience vulnerability of being Jewish in Germany, organizers say-By Luke Tress-APR 30,18-TOI
Following a spate of anti-Semitic incidents in Germany, and widespread displays of solidarity with Berlin’s Jewish community, activists in the city are to distribute 10,000 kippas to passersby in the city’s public places in another kind of demonstration on Sunday. The goal, organizers said, is a more personal and less political rally against anti-Semitism in the city.The kippas will be given out by small groups of Jewish and non-Jewish volunteers in the city’s parks. The event is complementary to the “Berlin Wears Kippa” event that took place Wednesday, organizers said.At that event, around 2,000 participants donned kippas together at a rally in front of the city’s synagogue. Sunday’s event, called “#kippaheadsup,” will encourage people who are not politically active or tied to the issue to wear a kippa on their own and experience the feeling of vulnerability that can come with wearing something identifiably Jewish during their daily life.“Yesterday we wore a kippa, but in a safe space,” said Anne, 30, one of the event’s organizers, on Thursday. “A lot of people don’t have any markers that marginalize them and maybe they can get more sensitive to that,” added Anne, who declined to give her last name because she has a politics-related job in the German parliament.The core group organizing the event, which includes Jews and non-Jews, is making an effort to keep the event nonpartisan, and focus the spotlight on the people on the ground. Previous events, including Wednesday’s, have been politicized to some extent by all sides, organizers said.“We’re trying not to put a stamp of political parties on it. We don’t want talking heads, we don’t want politicians to use it,” Anne said. “We’re just citizens of Berlin who felt the need to do something.”A small protest in the city’s Neukoelln district on Wednesday, the heart of the capital’s Muslim community, may have been organized by far-right provocateurs, rather than protesters sincere about combating anti-Semitism, Anne said.Jannik Schaefer, 29, said he decided to get involved in organizing the upcoming demonstration after hearing casual anti-Semitism at a bar last week. The next day, a 19-year-old Syrian refugee attacked two young men wearing kippas in Berlin, shouting “Yahud” — “Jew,” in Arabic — as he whipped one with a belt.The victim of the assault, 21-year-old Israeli Arab Adam Armush, posted a video online of the attack. It went viral, drawing widespread condemnation. Armush said he wore the kippa to see if it was safe to walk on the streets dressed as a Jew.Following the attack, the head of Germany’s Central Council of Jews, Josef Schuster, advised German Jews against wearing kippas in public in an interview with broadcaster Radioeins.“I was quite taken aback. After a few hours this feeling persisted. I don’t want to live in a city where this is the norm. I told my girlfriend I’m going to wear a kippa. She said, ‘No, don’t wear one, it’s dangerous,’ so I said we would all wear one,” Schaefer said.The core group of four or five organizers connected through friends and started coordinating the event with the help of local Jewish community groups, that also helped facilitate a speedy order of 10,000 kippas from Israel. Around 120 volunteers will distribute the kippas around Berlin.Schaefer, who is not Jewish, participated in the mass rally on Wednesday, which was attended by Berlin Mayor Michael Mueller. He left still wearing his kippa, he said.“I had to go through the question, ‘Do I take it off now, or do I leave it on?’ so I left it on. So as soon as you enter the real world where it’s not everybody that wears one, it becomes a new experience, something you have to process and feel out,” Schaefer said. “We want to raise people’s awareness, feel some sympathy and get a little closer,” he said.

Nordic scientists warn Brussels over 'superbugs' By Lisbeth Kirk-EUOBSERVER
BRUSSELS, 27. Apr, 14:52-"You never know when your life is going to change". After a brutal virus wipes out most of the Scandinavian population, two young siblings embark on a perilous search for safety...This is the premise for a new Netflix series The Rain, launching on Friday (4 May).It is pure science fiction, but not completely without a connection to reality.In the real world, staff at Nordic hospitals are fighting hard to stop antibiotic resistant bacteria from spreading.Nykoepings Lasarett, a hospital in Sweden, in March cancelled operations and closed infected sections to stop a superbug named VRE from infecting patients.As many as 250 patients received a letter from the hospital urging them to test if they carried the bacteria after being treated in the hospital."The hospitals do not control the infection yet," reported Sweden's public broadcaster, EKOT, on Thursday (26 April).The first VRE case was discovered in Huddinge in northern Sweden before the turn of the year and about 60 patients have now been infected in the Stockholm region.In Nykoeping, 44 patients have been reported infected and the resistant intestinal bacterium has spread further between several hospitals and infected patients also in Umeaa, Oerebro plus Nykoeping for several months.No patient has been seriously ill until now. Most people do not notice that they have been infected, but patients with weakened health may succumb to serious infections such as blood poisoning.-Global problem-The superbug VRE is part of a much bigger problem, according to Nordic researchers speaking at a seminar in the European Parliament organised by the Nordic council on Wednesday (25 April).In Europe alone 25,000 people are estimated to die yearly because of multi-resistant bacteria, according to studies published by the Nordic countries.Less than a century ago, pneumonia often led to death, but the risk was dramatically reduced after the first antibiotic, penicillin, was discovered in 1928.Antibiotics have been used widely ever since, from human medicine to animal food and saved millions of lives.But now the risk of dying from a bacterial infection is growing again because bacteria develop resistance to these antibiotics."A world without effective antibiotics is the greatest threat to health care worldwide," Aasa Melhus, professor of Clinical Bacteriology at Uppsala University pointed out at the seminar in Brussels.Antibiotics reduced mortality rates and prolonged life but no new antibiotics have been developed for the past 30 years."It is getting dangerous, because we can not offer the citizens anything more," professor Melhus said.Not a 'traditional business'-The industry has moved focus from infection diseases to old-people's diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases."The industry is not very active in the area, because it is not a traditional business," chief consultant of the Danish Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry, Allan Skaarup Kristensen, explained.If a new antibiotics was eventually developed it would be very important to restrict the use of it as much as possible to avoid bacteria from developing resistance to it."You would make the product, and then put it in a safe box and not use it," he told the seminar in Brussels.Currently has industry globally only 62 new compounds in the pipeline of which only five are expected to be approved as new antibiotics. It costs around $1bn to develop a new drug and takes up to 10 years.Skaarup Kristensen said grants and more public funding was needed to discover new antibiotics.He suggested a $1bn premium for companies to take the risk to bring a new product to the market could be a game-changer - from industry not being active, to becoming active and to quadruple the number of new antibiotics coming to the market in the next 30 years.-Shortage in Europe-Almost all production of antibiotics has been outsourced from Europe to other parts of the world since it is not technically very complicated to produce antibiotics and the old patents have run out."We have outsourced almost all production to India and China – but that leaves us with a security problem and sometimes we see a shortage of deliveries," warned Dag Berild, professor at Oslo University Hospital."We may consider 'insourcing' of the old-fashion production to Europe," he suggested."We all live with two kilo bacteria in our body and they make lots of good use for us. But bacteria can replicate themselves in 17 minutes, so we can never win the war against the bacteria," he said."We also need to promote rational use of antibiotics".The Norwegian government's plan is now to reduce the use of antibiotics by 30 percent by 2020. One way is to shorten the period of treatment."We have all learned to finish the treatment with the antibiotics to avoid resistance. But that is a lie. It is total evidence-free area," said the Norwegian professor."The longer treatment the more resistant bacteria. So my advice is to change this mantra that 'shorter is better'. Studies of pneumonia and other show that shorter treatment works as well as long treatment," professor Dag Berild said.-Foreign travel risk-It is estimated the 60 percent of all infectious diseases stem from animals - but travelling is also contributing to infection and spread of bacteria."The only thing you have to do is to go abroad," said Aase Melhus.She made a study in 2010 concluding that foreign travel is a major risk factor.Samples from 100 healthy volunteers traveling outside Northern Europe, taken before and after their travel, showed that 50 percent returned with multi-resistant bacteria.The most risky country to travel appeared to be India, where 88 percent came back positive."After six months 24 percent were still tested positive and as long as you are positive, you can spread it," professor Melhus explained."This is a global problem. Whatever happens in the world will in the end end up at your own doorstep," she said.-Nordic 12-step plan-During the Nordic Council's theme session in Stockholm last year, the council's politicians presented a 'white book' outlining 12 concrete proposals for Nordic initiatives in the fight against antibiotic resistance.The strategy aims to limit the use of antibiotics, stop the spread of antimicrobial resistance and secure incentives for the development of new health technology, innovative medicines, and vaccines."It is a challenge that should be met on all levels, regional, national and global. The Nordic Council also wishes to promote ambitions solutions in the EU," said Bente Stein Mathisen, a member of the Norwegian parliament and of the Nordic Council.So far the European Union has focussed its legislative work mainly on the use of antibiotics for animals."From a legislative point of view we worked on animal health – now we see there are also links to human health," said Fredrick Federley, Swedish Alde MEP."Many people in this world do not get proper treatment. The poorest do not get what they need, while others are over-consuming antibiotics," he said, adding that "the Nordic action plan could be used as a role model for European Parliament".

Opinion-EU had a plan for Jordan - now it's time to make it work By Gideon Maltz and Cindy Huang-EUOBSERVER

New York, 25. Apr, 09:10-Two years ago, the European Union announced a groundbreaking deal providing Jordan with $1.8bn (€1.47bn) in grants and loans as well as trade measures allowing preferential access for certain products from Jordanian businesses employing at least 15 percent Syrian refugees.For its part, Jordan agreed to expand educational and economic access for Syrian refugees in the country, including 200,000 work permits for Syrian refugees in specific sectors.The overall compact had a powerful strategic logic for the EU: by creating incentives for increased Jordanian exports to the EU and employment of Syrian refugees, the EU could both help support Jordan - a strategic partner feeling acute pressure from the 1.3 million Syrian refugees it is hosting - and induce refugees to stay in Jordan with concrete job opportunities.The deal would benefit Jordanians and refugees - as well as the EU.As the EU prepares to host another summit in Brussels to address the Syria refugee crisis, it must acknowledge that the trade component of the Jordan deal has failed in practice: two years on, only four companies have exported roughly €2.3m worth of products under the deal.Why has the EU deal failed to deliver? While some analysis has focused on the challenges in recruiting refugee workers, our assessment is that they are less the cause of the failure than the symptom of Jordanian businesses lacking strong incentives to take advantage of the deal.Where firms in Jordan have had a clear business reason to hire refugees, they have successfully done so.The EU-Jordan deal has fallen short of ramping up trade because the trade concessions that the EU offered are exceedingly modest.The deal made it easier for certain Jordanian products to qualify for duty-free access to the EU by reducing the "local content" requirement (the portion of the product's value that had to be generated in Jordan) from a high threshold of 70 percent to a more manageable threshold of 30 percent - in principle, an important concession as many of Jordan's products use inputs from other countries.However, the benefits of the trade preference are circumscribed:The trade preference only extends to certain selected sectors - such as plastics, chemicals, and garments. By one credible assessment, almost two-thirds of Jordan's current international exports are excluded from the deal.It is limited to companies operating in 18 designated development zones (located far from the majority of Syrian refugees), excluding Jordanian firms with business operations elsewhere in the country.It provides duty-free access to the EU market - which a large number of other countries already enjoy. In the garment sector, for example, both Turkey (with cheaper transportation costs to the EU) and Bangladesh (with lower labour costs) already have duty-free access - neutralising the advantage for Jordanian firms.The EU-Jordan deal has generated meagre benefits to date, even while the Jordanian government has made progress on its side of the bargain, issuing 83,500 work permits since the start of the compact.But the strategic logic that motivated the EU to enter the deal should now compel the EU to improve, not abandon, it.-Three steps-First, the EU can strengthen the deal by expanding the scope of eligibility.It should start by acceding to the Jordanian government's request to extend trade preferences to businesses operating anywhere in Jordan – an easy fix.It should go further and include a wider range of Jordan's export sectors – the simplified rules of origin could be particularly beneficial in sectors where Jordanian businesses may have more European market demand and/or greater competitiveness, such as in food processing.Second, the EU and European governments should play a hands-on role in trying to facilitate Jordanian firms' access to the EU market. Buyer-supplier relationships are often 'sticky' and European companies may be slow to increase their business with lesser-known Jordanian firms.To accelerate Jordanian firms' access to the EU market, the European Commission and European governments will need to do more to broker these relationships, and also help companies meet EU quality and regulatory standards.Third, the EU should develop targeted tax incentives for EU businesses that make investments in Jordan generating jobs for both Jordanians and refugees.With links directly to EU markets and expertise in meeting regulatory standards, European businesses would be well-positioned to leverage the preferential trade arrangement and advance the EU goals of helping Jordanian host communities and refugees – but these businesses may need additional incentives to set up new operations.Even with the current EU deal, we believe Jordan warrants strong consideration from multinational businesses, both as a place to invest in, and as a place to source goods and services from: Jordan has a stable government, a business-friendly regulatory environment, and preferential trade access to the United States and the Gulf, in addition to the EU.The opportunity to help Syrian refugees, by hiring them directly or bringing them into their supply chains, should also be a consideration for multinational businesses - for humanitarian, strategic, and reputational reasons.But with the scale of what Jordan faces – with Syrian refugees amounting to more than 10 percent of its population – the EU must improve its deal with Jordan and deliver on its promise to boost Jordanian exports and refugee hiring.Gideon Maltz is the executive director of the Tent Foundation.

Syrian army, Islamic State wage fierce battle in south Damascus-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-April 30, 2018

BEIRUT (Reuters) - The Syrian army and its allies engaged in a fierce battle on Saturday with Islamic State fighters in an enclave south of Damascus held by the jihadist group.Reuters witnesses, a war monitor and state television reported intense fighting including artillery bombardment and small arms fire.The army had made broad advances, said state television. The monitor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said it had gained control of several buildings in the densely built-up area.Footage on state TV showed tanks rolling across an open area of fields to the edge of the enclave, which includes parts of al-Qadam district, al-Hajar al-Aswad and the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp.It showed uniformed soldiers moving through battered streets with dense clouds of black smoke overhead, while the whizz and crash of artillery fire, the rattle of small arms fire and deep echoing blasts could all be heard.Syrian President Bashar al-Assad this month defeated rebels in their biggest stronghold near Damascus in eastern Ghouta, and has since then focused on ending resistance in several smaller pockets near the Syrian capital.Islamic State lost most of its territory in Syria last year in the face of two rapid offensives, one by the Syrian army backed by Russia and Iran, and the other by an alliance of Kurdish and Arab militias backed by the United States.It has held onto some areas of desert in eastern Syria, as well as to the pocket in south Damascus and one other area by the borders with Jordan and Israel which is held by a group that has pledged allegiance to it.Russia's entry into the war in 2015 has propelled Assad to a succession of victories that have dashed any rebel hopes of ousting him militarily, but rebel groups still hold large swathes of northwest and southwest Syria.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday after meeting in Moscow with his counterparts from Turkey and Iran that the three countries need to help Syria's government clear its country of terrorists.Turkish Foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu meanwhile said Russia, Iran and Turkey needed to work with the United Nations to ensure the legitimacy of any political solution in Syria as any military solution would be illegal and unsustainable.(Reporting By Firas Makedesi in Damascus and Angus McDowall in Beirut; Editing by Catherine Evans)

Greece approves 1.2 billion-euro US deal for F-16 fighters-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-April 30, 2018

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A panel of senior Greek government and military officials has approved a 1.2-billion-euro ($1.45 billion) deal to upgrade more than half of the country's American-made F-16 fighter planes.Officials say the deal approved by the Greek cabinet on Saturday will give 85 of Greece's fleet of F-16s capabilities similar to the much more advanced F-35 fighters minus stealth technology.The terms of the agreement call for Greece to pay for the improvements until 2027 or 2028, but the U.S. agreed to cap annual payments at 150 million euros ($182 million) after that.U.S. Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt tweeted that the approval built on Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras's visit to the White House in October.Tsipras leads the Greek cabinet.

Russian FM says US trying to 'divide Syria into parts'-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-April 30, 2018

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's foreign minister said Saturday the United States is trying to divide Syria.During a meeting with his counterparts from Iran and Turkey, Sergey Lavrov said the recent U.S.-led missile strikes on Syria "seriously aggravated the situation."He added that statements about supporting the territorial integrity of Syria "are only words that, apparently, cover plans for reformatting the Middle East and plans for dividing Syria into parts."Lavrov met with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu. Russia, Iran and Turkey are the guarantor states in the so-called "Astana process" aimed at ending the violence in Syria.The three agreed to intensify efforts to provide humanitarian aid in Syria."We will ensure that this aid is provided in the most effective way. We will be cooperating with the government, the opposition and of course with our counterparts at the United Nations, the International Red Cross, the Syrian Red Crescent and other international organizations," Lavrov said.International aid groups have repeatedly accused the Syrian government, which is closely allied with Russia and Iran, of preventing the delivery of aid to besieged, rebel-held areas.Lavrov also reiterated Russia's contention that the alleged chemical weapons attack on the town of Douma earlier this month was an "artificial pretext" for the missile strikes by the U.S., Britain and France.The ministers issued a joint statement condemning chemical attacks and said any reports of their use should be "investigated promptly and professionally" by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. An OPCW team was repeatedly delayed in attempts to reach Douma to probe the reported attack.Cavusoglu meanwhile criticized the United States for supporting Syria's main Kurdish militia, which played a key role in rolling back the Islamic State group and now controls much of northern and eastern Syria. Turkey views the Kurdish fighters as an extension of the Kurdish insurgency raging in its southeast."Today, the US supports terrorist organizations, and this has to stop," Cavusoglu said.

Toddler whose parents fought to maintain life support dies-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-DANICA KIRKA and SYLVIA HUI-April 30, 2018

LONDON (AP) — Alfie Evans, a sick British toddler whose parents won support from the pope during a protracted legal battle to take him to the Vatican children's hospital for treatment, died early Saturday, five days after he was taken off life support.The parents, Kate James and Tom Evans, announced their 23-month-old son's death on social media, saying they were "heartbroken." Alfie had a rare degenerative brain condition that left him with almost no brain function, and multiple courts ruled that keeping him alive was not in his best interests."My gladiator lay down his shield and gained his wings at 02:30," Evans, 21, said in Facebook post decorated with a broken heart and crying emojis.Alfie's case sparked a medical ethics debate that resonated far beyond Britain. Doctors overseeing his care in Liverpool, England said further treatment was futile and he should be allowed to die. But his parents fought for months to try to convince judges to allow them to take him to Vatican hospital, where life support would be maintained.Pope Francis, who had publicly supported Evans and James' campaign, wrote condolences that were posted Saturday on Twitter."I am deeply moved by the death of little Alfie," Francis said. "Today I pray especially for his parents, as God the Father receives him in his tender embrace."Italy even granted Alfie citizenship and put a military plane on standby to transport him to Rome, if the courts allowed it.Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano tweeted Saturday: "Goodbye, little Alfie. We loved you."Tensions between the toddler's parents and the hospital had eased in recent days. Evans, who earlier said doctors were wrong about Alfie's prognosis and threatened to resume the fight over care in court, called for a truce and pledged to work with hospital staff to give his son "dignity and comfort.""Our lives have been turned upside down by the intense focus on Alfie and his situation," Evans said Thursday outside Liverpool's Alder Hey Children's Hospital, where Alfie was treated for more than a year.He thanked the hospital staff "for their dignity and professionalism during what must be an incredibly difficult time for them too."Under British law, courts are asked to intervene when parents and doctors disagree on the treatment of a child. In such cases, the rights of the child take primacy over the parents' right to decide what's best for their offspring.Alder Hey issued a statement to express "heartfelt sympathy and condolences to Alfie's family.""All of us feel deeply for Alfie, Kate, Tom and his whole family and our thoughts are with them," the statement said. "This has been a devastating journey for them, and we would ask that their privacy and the privacy of staff at Alder Hey is respected."Alfie's case received much attention outside Britain, especially in Catholic countries. Pope Francis met with Evans and appealed for the wishes of the boy's parents to be heeded, saying only God can decide who dies.Officials in largely Catholic Poland and Italy have criticized Britain's courts and state-run National Health Service.A leading Italian right-wing politician, Veneto Gov. Luca Zaia, said the "so-called civilized world has supplied the latest proof of enormous incivility."Supporters of the parents staged angry protests regularly outside the hospital, at times trying to storm its entrance. People left floral tributes outside the hospital Saturday, but Alder Hey asked for remembrances to be left in a park next door so the hospital's work wasn't disrupted.Alfie's mother, 20-year-old Kate James, posted that she was heartbroken over Alfie's death, but added, "Thank you everyone for all your support."
