World-Germany takes EU reins to steer towards green COVID-19 recovery-[Reuters]-By Kate Abnett-June 23, 2020

June 23 (Reuters) - Germany will use its upcoming stint as leader of European Union talks to steer the bloc towards a climate-friendly economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the country's environment minister said on Tuesday."We always have to keep the big picture in mind. Europe wants to become the first greenhouse gas-neutral continent by 2050. This is the most crucial thing that we can do for future generations," Svenja Schulze said on Tuesday ahead of a meeting of EU environment ministers.Germany takes over the rotating EU presidency on July 1 and will chair meetings of EU ministers until the end of the year.The climate apex of Germany's EU presidency was intended to be an EU-China summit in Leipzig in September, where the EU hoped to coax the world's biggest emitter into raising its emissions-cutting ambitions ahead of a crucial U.N. climate summit in November.But the pandemic meant the Leipzig summit is being rescheduled and the U.N. talks have been delayed until November 2021. Meanwhile, the EU faces the challenge of rebuilding its virus-battered economy without compromising its climate commitments.The European Commission has said spending from its proposed 750 billion euro ($846.38 billion) coronavirus recovery fund must "do no harm" to the bloc's green goals. It has earmarked funding for electric vehicles and low-carbon hydrogen fuel - areas also in line for support from Germany's national stimulus package.Schulze called the Commission proposal a "good basis" for the EU's economic recovery, which she said must be "socially fair and ecologically sound".Schulze said she will prioritise striking a deal to increase the EU's 2030 climate target to a 50% or 55% emissions reduction against 1990 levels.Tough talks lie ahead. Bulgaria said on Tuesday it could not achieve a higher 2030 national climate goal. The Czech Republic said the Commission should assess the individual impact of a new 2030 target on each EU country. Countries including Germany, Denmark, France and the Netherlands all back a 55% target. ($1 = 0.8861 euros) (Reporting by Kate Abnett; editing by Barbara Lewis)

Virus numbers surge globally as many nations ease lockdowns-The Times of Israel-India considers new measures; cases increase in south and west of US; resurgence in Australia, China and South Korea despite earlier success-By Nick Perry-june 23,20-Today, 11:56 am

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The number of global coronavirus cases continued to surge Tuesday in many large countries that have been lifting lockdowns, including the US, even as new infections stabilized or dropped in parts of Western Europe.India has been recording about 15,000 new infections each day, and some states Tuesday were considering fresh lockdown measures to try to halt the spread of the virus in the nation of more than 1.3 billion. The government earlier lifted a nationwide lockdown in a bid to restart the ailing economy, which has shed millions of jobs.Hospitals in Pakistan are turning away patients, but with the economy there teetering, the government remains determined to reopen the country.New cases have also been rising steeply in Mexico, Colombia and Indonesia.A man prepares to wear his mask as fish vendors chat on a rainy day in Kochi, Kerala state, India, June 22 2020. (AP Photo/R S Iyer)Brazil, with more than 1.1 million cases and 51,000 deaths, has been affected more than anywhere but the US, which has reported more than 2.3 million cases and 120,000 deaths, according to a tally kept by Johns Hopkins University.In the US, surges in cases across the South and West are raising fears that progress against the virus is slipping away, as states reopen and many Americans resist wearing masks and keeping their distance from others.Dr. Anthony Fauci, left, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and US President Donald Trump at the White House, April 17, 2020. (AP/Alex Brandon)-On Tuesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci will return to Capitol Hill at a fraught moment in the nation’s response. The government’s top infectious disease expert will testify before a House committee.His testimony comes after US President Donald Trump said at a weekend rally in Oklahoma that he had asked administration officials to slow down testing, because too many positive cases are turning up.Many rally goers did not wear masks, and for some that was an act of defiance against what they see as government intrusion. White House officials later tried to walk back Trump’s comment on testing, suggesting it wasn’t meant to be taken literally.Dr. Michael Ryan, the World Health Organization’s emergencies chief, said the record number of new cases couldn’t be explained by increased testing alone, noting many countries have seen large increases in hospital admissions and deaths.“The epidemic is now peaking or moving towards a peak in a number of large countries,” he said.A man carries his mother as they arrive at a bank to receive cash under the government Ehsaas Emergency Cash program for families in need, affected during a nationwide lockdown to try to contain the outbreak of the coronavirus, in Peshawar, Pakistan, June 22, 2020. (AP Photo/Muhammad Sajjad)-WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said it took more than three months for the world to see 1 million confirmed infections, but just eight days to see the most recent 1 million cases.“The greatest threat we face now is not the virus itself; it’s the lack of global solidarity and global leadership,” he said during a video conference for the Dubai-based World Government Summit.Even some countries that have had initial success in stamping out the virus are finding pockets of resurgence.In Australia, Victoria state on Tuesday reported 17 new cases, resulting in the closing of two primary schools in Melbourne. State Premier Daniel Andrews said there would be significant community transmission among the new cases.China reported 22 new cases, including 13 in Beijing, a day after a city government spokesperson said containment measures had slowed the momentum of a new outbreak in the capital that has infected more than 200 people.And South Korea reported 46 new cases, including 30 linked to international arrivals.The country has been struggling to stem a resurgence of the virus in the Seoul metropolitan area, where hundreds of infections have been linked to entertainment and leisure activities, church gatherings and low-income workers such as door-to-door salespeople and warehouse workers who couldn’t afford to stay home.A visitor wearing a face mask walks near a screen displaying precautions against the coronavirus in Seoul, South Korea, June 23, 2020. (AP Photo/Lee Jin-man)South Korea also said it was testing 176 workers at the southern port of Busan following a virus outbreak among crew members of a Russian cargo ship that has so far sickened 16.Saudi Arabia said this year’s pilgrimage, or hajj, to Islam’s holy sites will not be canceled, but only “very limited numbers” of people will be allowed to take part. The hajj traditionally draws around 2 million Muslims from around the world for five intense days of worship and rituals in Mecca.Worldwide, more than 9 million people have been confirmed infected by the virus and more than 472,000 have died, according to the Johns Hopkins University tally. Experts say the true numbers are much higher because of limited testing and cases in which patients had no symptoms.

Clashes reported as 2,500 Israelis pray at Nablus holy site ahead of annexation-The Times of Israel-Settler leader tells worshipers at Joseph’s Tomb, in area of West Bank under PA control, that ‘history will not forgive those who abandon the holy places at this time’By TOI staff-june 23,20-Today, 10:23 am

A settler group said Tuesday morning that some 2,500 Israelis visited Joseph’s Tomb, a holy site located inside an area of the West Bank under full Palestinian control, the night before.According to Palestinian reports, an unspecified number of Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israel Defense Forces troops at the time of the visit.There was no statement from the military on the visit or reported violence, which came a week ahead of the date on which Israel says it plans to begin unilaterally annexing parts of the West Bank.Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan said in a statement that worshipers prayed for a full and successful annexation of the West Bank by Israel.“We are here to send a clear message: People of Israel, the State of Israel will not give up the holy places,” he said. “History will not forgive those who abandon the holy places at this time. We will not accept symbolic sovereignty.”Last month, Dagan started a campaign against the establishment of a Palestinian state and the creation of isolated settlement “enclaves” in the West Bank as part of US President Donald Trump’s plan.Thousands of religious Jews visit the Joseph’s Tomb holy site in the West Bank city of Nablus on September 17, 2018. (Israel Defense Forces)-Near-monthly visits by Israelis to Joseph’s Tomb are permitted by the Israel Defense Forces and are carried out under heavy armed guard.Joseph’s Tomb is located inside Area A of the West Bank, which is officially under complete Palestinian Authority control, though the Israeli military conducts activities there. The IDF bars Israeli citizens from entering Area A without prior authorization.The site is venerated by Jews, Christians and Muslims, and has often been a flashpoint for sectarian violence. During these visits by Jewish pilgrims, Palestinians routinely throw rocks at the troops, and sometimes attack them with Molotov cocktails and gunfire.Screenshot from the fire started by Palestinian rioters at Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus, in the West Bank, on October 16, 2015.In 2015 a large group of Palestinians set fire to the compound containing Joseph’s Tomb. Palestinian Authority security forces dispersed the hundred-strong crowd and managed to douse the fire at the tomb, which tradition says contains the remains of the biblical patriarch Joseph.There have been other incidents of arson and vandalism at the site, including major damage by Palestinian rioters in 2000.Last month, an Israeli court convicted a former Palestinian police officer for opening fire in 2011 on a group of Israelis who had visited the site without coordination. One man was killed.The latest overnight visit came despite the announcement by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas last month that he was ending security cooperation with Israel, though questions have arisen over the extent to which coordination has actually been frozen.

(Alaa Badarneh/Pool via AP)-On May 21, Abbas declared that the PA was “absolved” of all agreements and understandings with Israel and the US. Abbas said his statement was in response to repeated Israeli violations of those agreements, including its planned unilateral annexation of parts of the West Bank, and that his security forces were cutting ties with the Israeli military.The claim has since proven to be overstated, as some degree of coordination has continued despite the dramatic announcement, though to a lesser extent than normal.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted he will go ahead with plans to extend Israeli sovereignty to settlements and the Jordan Valley — some 30 percent of the West Bank — from July 1.

US mulling phased annexation, starting with areas close to Jerusalem – report-Senior Trump administration official says meeting this week in Washington will look at how extending sovereignty may advance peace in face of concerns of rupturing regional ties-By TOI staff-june 23,20-Today, 11:50 am

Concerned about the collateral damage that could follow from allowing Israel to move ahead with its planned annexation of areas of the West Bank, Washington is reportedly considering backing the annexation of only of a handful of settlements close to Jerusalem.Officials in the Trump administration are set to hold a decisive meeting this week on whether to approve Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declared plan to start annexing the 132 West Bank settlements and the Jordan Valley — the 30 percent of the territory allocated to Israel under the administration’s Israeli-Palestinian peace plan.Netanyahu has vowed to begin the process as early as July 1. However, US enthusiasm for such a move appeared to cool amid vociferous opposition from American allies in the Middle East.“Ultimately, as the team approaches this thought of annexation, the main thing going through our heads is, ‘Does this in fact help advance the cause of peace?’ And therefore that is what will help drive a lot of the discussion,” a senior Trump administration official told Reuters in a report Monday evening.Rather than back Netanyahu’s broad annexation plan, the administration is looking at other options, including a staged process in which Israel would start by declaring sovereignty only over several settlements in the Jerusalem area, the report said, citing an unnamed source.US President Donald Trump (C)  with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alongside US Vice President Mike Pence, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (2nd R) and White House adviser Jared Kushner (R) in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, January 27, 2020. (Saul Loeb/AFP)The official noted that Washington has not ruled out Netanyahu’s larger annexation vision but is concerned that a large-scale, rapid, unilateral move by Israel could seal off any chance that the Palestinians may agree to discuss Trump’s peace plan, unveiled in January.The administration is also worried about increasing opposition to annexation coming from Jordan and US-allied Gulf States that have been unobtrusively building ties with Israel, the source explained.US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, senior White House adviser Jared Kushner and Middle East envoy Avi Berkowitz are all expected to be at the Washington meeting. US President Donald Trump may also take part, Reuters said.A central issue in the White House meeting is likely to be the internal disagreement in the Israeli coalition over annexation: While Netanyahu is vigorously championing the move, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi say the Trump plan should be implemented in coordination with Jordan and the Palestinians.Last week, Channel 13 news reported that Netanyahu presented Gantz and Ashkenazi with four scenarios for annexing West Bank lands, one of which was said to be a symbolic move rather than the full 30%. The report did not provide further details on the different scenarios. A subsequent Channel 12 report claimed, by contrast, that all four of Netanyahu’s maps provided for annexing all 132 settlements, and that the overall territory to be annexed in these four scenarios ranged from 12% to 30%.As of last weekend, the Israel Defense Forces had not yet seen maps of the territories proposed for annexation, but reports Friday said Israeli security officials would be shown the maps this week.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, left, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, center, and then-Tourism Minister Yariv Levin during a meeting to discuss mapping extension of Israeli sovereignty to areas of the West Bank, held in the Ariel settlement, February 24, 2020. (David Azagury/US Embassy Jerusalem)-Under the coalition deal between Netanyahu’s Likud party and Gantz’s Blue and White, Netanyahu can begin annexing settlements and the Jordan Valley from July 1. The Trump administration initially indicated it would not oppose Netanyahu’s declared plans to do so, providing Israel accepts its peace plan, which conditionally provides for a Palestinian state on the remaining 70% of the territory. So far the Palestinians have rejected the entire plan.Netanyahu’s vows to push ahead with unilateral annexation have been condemned internationally, with European and Arab states, as well as senior members of the US Democratic Party, warning the Israeli government against doing so.Meanwhile, top Republicans spearheaded a letter backing Israel’s right to determine its borders.“We write to reaffirm the unshakeable alliance between the United States and Israel, to emphasize that Israel has the right to make sovereign decisions independent of outside pressure, and to express our support for you as you make such decisions in your capacity as Israel’s democratically-elected prime minister,” said the letter sent to Netanyahu on Monday.JTA contributed to this report.

Sudanese jobless in Lebanon risk life on Israel border-The Times of Israel-Local economic crisis is pushing some to attempt perilous crossing over heavily guarded frontier in the hope of finding employment and a better lifeBy Bachir El Khoury and Rosie SCAMMELL-june 23,20-Today, 12:03pm

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AFP) — Cowering in a pipe after fleeing Lebanon, a man desperate for work became the latest Sudanese national to risk his life in a perilous trek across the Israeli border.With Lebanon facing its worst economic crisis in decades, soaring unemployment has sparked a new trend at the country’s southern frontier.Since the start of May, around 16 Sudanese men have been caught trying to sneak across the heavily militarized border under the cover of night.The latest was found last week in a pipe and interrogated by the Israel Defense Forces before being sent back across the border.While Israel remains on high alert for border breaches by Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, against which it fought a devastating war in 2006, both sides say the Sudanese are economic migrants.“According to the initial investigation, the attempted infiltrations into Israel are not motivated by security or spying, but are solely tied to the economic and monetary crisis in Lebanon,” a Lebanese security source told AFP.Lebanon’s currency plunged to record lows earlier this month, causing food prices to skyrocket in a country where more than 45 percent of the population were already living below the poverty line.People exchange Lebanese pound and US dollar notes on the black market in Lebanon’s capital Beirut on June 18, 2020. (JOSEPH EID / AFP)-At their embassy in Beirut, many Sudanese have been calling on their government to take them home.“I want to go back to Sudan because life has become so expensive here and my salary is worth nothing. I can barely get enough to eat,” said 27-year-old Issa.His monthly wage of 500,000 Lebanese pounds from working at a supermarket has dropped from $333 to just under $100 due to the currency devaluation.More than 1,000 Sudanese have registered at the embassy hoping to be repatriated, out of at least 4,000 living in Lebanon, according to Abdallah Malek from the Association of Young Sudanese in Lebanon.
Slim chances-Some of those trying to cross the southern frontier may have contacts among the Sudanese community in Israel, but the journey still comes with serious risks.Lebanese soldiers found the bullet-ridden body of a Sudanese man on their side of the border who they believe was headed south, although the precise circumstances of his death remain unclear.Another was arrested in the same area.Five other Sudanese were arrested last month for trying to slip illegally into Israel, the Lebanese army said.Sudanese migrants demonstrate in support of their people in South Tel Aviv, June 30, 2019. (Tomer Neuberg/Flash90)-While it is impossible to say how many people may have evaded border patrols and made it into Israel, just one is known to have been picked up by Israeli authorities this year and remains in the country.Muhammad Abshar Abakar was stopped in January by the Israeli military, before being handed to the police and detained.Hotline for Refugees and Migrants worked to have him released from detention in late April, but due to coronavirus restrictions staff from the Israeli organization have been unable to meet him in person.“He told us that he does want to apply for asylum. When we meet him we’ll discuss that,” said Hotline spokeswoman Shira Abbo.But his chances are slim, with Israel granting refugee status to just one Sudanese person in recent years out of a 6,000-strong community.The majority have had asylum applications pending for years, allowing them to work in the interim, while around 1,000 Sudanese have been granted humanitarian protection.‘Such great risks’Most Sudanese migrants began arriving in Israel in 2007 through the border with Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. The porous frontier has since been largely sealed off by Israel, putting an end to arrivals.Anwar Suliman made it through Sinai to Israel in 2008, following a friend’s advice that he would be safe because the country has no formal ties with Khartoum.Now living in Herzliya, north of Tel Aviv, the 40-year-old restaurant worker was not aware of Sudanese abroad contacting compatriots in Israel.Abbo deplored the forced return of Sudanese intercepted by the Israeli army.“If someone says they want to seek asylum, they have to give this person a chance to meet people who are trained in dealing with these kinds of people,” she said.An Israeli Merkava tank and Lebanese soldiers face off along the Israel-Lebanon border, near Kibbutz Misgav Am, June 2, 2020. (Screen capture: Twitter)-With Israel and Lebanon technically still at war, there is no coordination between the two countries on economic migrants.According to details pieced together by soldiers, unemployed waiters and dishwashers used social media to plan their journey.Despite Israel’s determination to prevent border breaches, the dire situation in Lebanon could push more Sudanese to try their luck.“The living conditions and the feeling of despair have pushed them to take such great risks,” Malek said of his compatriots seeking to leave Lebanon.

Severe weather in the Heartland, excessive heat warning for the West-[Good Morning America]-MAX GOLEMBO-June 22, 2020

There were 332 damaging storm reports from Colorado to Virginia over the weekend bring damage and one death due to these storms.One person died in the Birmingham, Alabama, metro area when a tree feel on a home.In Great Bend, Kansas, winds gusted to 80 mph. The winds were so strong that a semi-truck was flipped on a highway.Also in Kansas, baseball sized hail was reported along with six tornadoes and landspouts.Today, severe weather will stretch from Oklahoma into Texas and Arkansas where damaging winds will be the biggest threat along with large hail.Major cities in the path of the storm are Dallas, Oklahoma City and Little Rock.Widespread scattered summer time thunderstorms are possible from Texas all the way to the Great Lakes and east into the I-95 corridor from Florida all the way to the Mid-Atlantic.

The heaviest rain will be along the Gulf Coast and also in the western Great Lakes where some areas could see 2 to 4 inches of rain.In the West, there are 35 wildfires burning across 10 states from Texas to Alaska.Dry and blustery weather continues to spread wildfires especially in Arizona, where evacuations continue!The Bush Fire north of Phoenix has grown now to 184,674 acres and is 42% contained.The Bighorn Fire near Tucson, Arizona has grown to 51,628 acres and is only 16% contained.A few other smaller fires have also broken out in Arizona and in California due to dry and blustery weather.There is some bad news for firefighting in the West, however. Very hot weather is moving in for California today and into Arizona by Wednesday.Today, Heat Warnings and Advisories stretch from southern Oregon all the way into southern California with temperatures expected to reach triple digits and some areas could get close to 120 degrees.By midweek, the hottest air will move into Arizona where those huge fires are burning near Phoenix and Tucson. Temperatures are expected to reach lower 110s for Phoenix and near 110 degrees in Tucson.The good news is that no major wind events are expected, just the usual localized breezy conditions. That being said, localized gusty winds are possible and these have the potential to spread the fires even more.Severe weather in the Heartland, excessive heat warning for the West originally appeared on abcnews.go.com.

Startup hopes to use its IVF-predictive software against coronavirus-The Times of Israel-Israel’s Embryonics uses AI to help fertility specialists choose best embryos for womb implantation and develops personalized hormonal treatments for IVF patients-By Shoshanna Solomon-june 21,20-Today, 2:47 pm

An early-stage Israeli startup that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to help fertility specialists select the best embryos for implantation into the womb, and develops personalized hormonal treatments for in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients, is now hoping that a similar technology can be used to help diagnose and treat COVID-19 patients.“We want to see if we can use our technology to help with the treatment, the diagnosis and progress of COVID-19 patients and other diseases,” said Yael Zamir, the co-founder and CEO of Embryonics, a startup she set up with partners in 2018. COVID-19 is the illness caused by the coronavirus, which has killed over 400,000 people worldwide.The startup has developed two algorithms. One is a commercially available patented AI-technology that enables trawling through healthcare databases, studying tens of thousands of embryos and their implant-success rate, and then predicting which embryos will be the most likely to succeed.The other analyzes clinical data using newly invented geometric deep learning technology to personalize hormonal treatments for IVF patients.Geometric deep learning is a new field of machine learning that can gain insights from complex data, like graphs and multi-dimensional points, and, according to the company, “has shown big promise in other areas as it outperforms the classical widely used AI algorithms.”Embryonics now wants to use geometric deep learning to predict which COVID-19 patients will need to be put on ventilators, which needs to be kept in the hospital, and which can be treated at home.“We believe that our geometrical methods that have shown big promise in IVF could be applicable here,” said Zamir.The startup has started working with Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem — the hospital that has treated the second-largest number of COVID-19 patients in Israel — to get access to its database of virus-stricken patients. The idea is to build new predictive software based on the same geometric deep-learning tools it uses for personalizing hormonal treatments for IVF patients.Working with the hospital will allow the startup to adapt its embryo-selecting algorithm so it will be able to examine hospital data, looking at patients’ characteristics, from whether they are smokers to where they live, their age, diseases and other clinical parameters to make predictions about their outcomes: at what day will their illness peak? Will their illness be easier than for others?“If patients are similar, we want to team them up and compare data points,” Zamir said. When a new patient arrives, she explained, the system should be able to look for what happened to patients that had similar traits and make forecasts and treatment recommendations.Shaare Zedek is the first hospital to use the platform as a pilot for COVID-19 patients, she said.Medical personnel in protective gear bring a patient suspected of having the coronavirus to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem on April 30, 2020. (Nati Shohat/Flash90)-Renana Ofan, the director of the Shaare Zedek Innovation Center, said the hospital has granted Embryonics access to patients’ data under strict privacy regulations, and is working closely with the firm to make sure the data is clear, reliable and relevant to their needs.“We must have collaborations with tech firms” to make much-needed breakthroughs, she said. “We bring our clinical knowledge, and they bring the technology. We are happy to join forces with anyone who wants to, and have very many of these kinds of collaborations.”Bringing transparency to IVF-Zamir set up Embryonics with her co-founders to bring transparency to the field of in vitro fertilization, in which eggs are fertilized with sperm in a lab.The human fertility field “has many gray areas,” said Zamir. “Traditional fertility treatments don’t have good answers and this causes a lot of suffering for couples.”Innovative technologies can be used to answer complicated questions, she said, like how to choose the best embryos to implant into the womb after the IVF process, a process that “has not changed in years,” said Zamir.Illustrative. In vitro fertilization (IVF) of an egg cell. (iStock by Getty Images/ man_at_mouse)-Doctors rely on observation through a microscope, looking for the rate of cell division, cell symmetry, and certain tables of rules regarding the morphology of the embryo, she said, noting that the IVF success rate is only around 30 percent.What the startup has done is bring objectivity to the process, Zamir explained, with an algorithm that is able to look at tens of thousands of embryos and their implant-success rate, and then predict which embryos are the most likely to succeed.The firm has been testing its software platform at clinics in Israel and Europe, including Kaplan medical center of Rehovot, Carmel hospital of Haifa, Nadiya international center of Kyiv, Ukraine, and other clinics in France, Spain, China, Malaysia and the United States, Zamir said.Zamir said the results show that the algorithm can “outperform embryologists.”The firm is also expanding the scope of the algorithm to help set out the best protocol to improve the process of hormonal treatments by personalizing recommendations to suit candidates in order to minimize side effects and shorten time to pregnancy.Embryonics, which has raised $4 million in seed money from a US-based VC and in grants from the Israel Innovation Authority, is in the process of getting US Food and Drug Administration approval for its IVF software, Zamir said, and is starting to sign its first contracts with clients.

UK police declare park stabbings that killed 3 a terror attack-The Times of Israel-UK authorities say counterterrorism investigators taking over probe into attack in Reading; 25-year-old man, reportedly a Libyan national, in custody-By AP and TOI staff-june 21,20-Today, 2:16 pm

READING, England — British police said Sunday they are treating a stabbing rampage in a park that killed three people as a terrorist attack.Dean Haydon, the UK’s coordinator of counterterrorism policing, said counterterror detectives were taking over the investigation into the attack in the town of Reading, west of London. Police had earlier said they were keeping an open mind about the motive.Three people were killed and three others seriously wounded in the stabbing attack in Reading’s Forbury Gardens Park on Saturday evening. The Thames Valley Police force said officers arrested a 25-year-old local man at the scene and they were not looking for anyone else.“There is no intelligence to suggest that there is any further danger to the public,” said Detective Chief Superintendent Ian Hunter.The arrested man is reportedly a Libyan national.A Floral tribute is seen at a police cordon at the Abbey Gateway near Forbury Gardens park in Reading, west of London, on June 20, 2020f ollowing a fatal stabbing incident the previous day. (Photo by Ben STANSALL / AFP)-The attack came out of the blue on a sunny summer evening in Forbury Gardens park in Reading, a town of 200,000 residents 40 miles (64 kilometers) west of London.Prime Minister Boris Johnson was being briefed on developments. His office said Johnson had met security officials, police and senior ministers on Sunday morning for an update on the investigation.Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the government was “closely monitoring the situation.”Police officers patrolled cordons on the roads leading to the park on Sunday, and blue-and-white tents were erected near the site of the attack. Overnight, heavily armed officers entered an apartment about a mile away, and a loud bang was heard.Personal trainer Lawrence Wort said the park in Reading was full of groups socializing on the grass Saturday when “one lone person walked through, suddenly shouted some unintelligible words and went around a large group of around 10, trying to stab them.”The stabbed three of them severely in the neck and under the arms, and then turned and started running towards me, and we turned and started running,” Wort said.Police stand guard at the Abbey gateway of Forbury Gardens park in Reading town center following Saturday’s stabbing attack in the gardens, June 21, 2020. (Jonathan Brady/PA via AP)The incident came hours after a Black Lives Matter demonstration at Forbury Gardens, but police said there was no connection between the attack and the protest.Britain has been hit by several terror attacks in recent years, including a suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester in 2017 that killed 22 people and two deadly vehicle and knife attacks in London the same year.Britain’s official terrorism threat level stands at “substantial,” the middle level on a five-rung scale, meaning an attack is likely.

IDF chief warns Iran now the ‘most dangerous country’ in Middle East-The Times of Israel-Aviv Kohavi says Islamic Republic’s conventional weapons also a threat to Israel, it is behind a variety of attempted terror attacks against Jewish state-By TOI staff-june 21,20-Today, 11:12 pm

Israelel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi on Sunday said Iran is now the most dangerous country in the Middle East, not just because of its nuclear program, but also through its conventional weapons and support for terror activities against Israel.Kohavi warned that Iran’s influence reaches into the first of the three circles of threats against Israel, the first being small terror groups on Israel’s borders, like Hamas; the second being larger threats, like the Syrian army and Hezbollah; and the third being countries that do not share a border with Israel, like Iran and Iraq, Kohavi warned that Iran’s influence reaches into the first circle.“Iran has become the most dangerous country in the Middle East,” Kohavi said at a ceremony to install a new head of the IDF Planning Directorate, held at the army headquarters in Tel Aviv.“True, it is in the third circle, but it is most influential in the first and second circles,” Kohavi said. “It has made considerable progress in its nuclear program, but the nuclear [threat] is no longer the only threat.“Iran also holds conventional weapons,” he continued. “It is supporting and financing our enemies in the first circle and chiefly Hezbollah, it influences and supports Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, and it is behind attempts at terror actions against Israel in a variety of dimensions and arenas, near and far.”IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi, left, Maj. Gen. Tal Kalman, center, and Maj. Gen. Amir Abulafia, right, at a ceremony at the Rabin military base, June 20, 2020. (Israel Defense Forces)-At the ceremony, Maj. Gen. Amir Abulafia left the position he has held for the past three years leading the Planning Directorate.Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar, will take command of the IDF’s rejiggered Planning Directorate, which has been renamed the Force Design Directorate and is tasked with overseeing the development of new combat and weapons techniques, specifically in tactics and techniques that require cooperation between the various branches of the military.Also, former fighter pilot Maj. Gen. Tal Kalman became the new chief of the Strategy and Third-Circle Directorate, an entirely new position on the General Staff, which will focus principally on Israel’s fight against Iran.The creation of these positions, along with other changes to the structure of the Israel Defense Forces, is part of the military’s multi-year Momentum Plan.“The reality of recent years has changed significantly — the global and regional environment are very dynamic,” Kalman said. “Faced with these challenges, the IDF is required to operate in a variety of arenas and dimensions.“By correctly making use of the technology we will expose the hidden enemy and, with high lethality and by realizing the multilateral spaces, carry out what is expected of us, creating force multipliers on the battlefield and reaching a rapid victory in every arena and facing any threat,” Bar said.Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar at a ceremony at the Rabin military base, June 20, 2020. (Israel Defense Forces)-In the view of Kohavi, just as there is a major general whose primary mission is overseeing the fight against Hezbollah — head of the Northern Command Maj. Gen. Amir Baram — and one for countering Hamas — Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi — so too should there be a major general responsible for Iran.“We want someone to wake up every morning with Iran set above his highest joy,” IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman told reporters earlier this year, referencing a line from Psalm 137 regarding the importance of Jerusalem.Kalman’s directorate is responsible for countering Iran and other “third-circle” countries only, not proxies such as the Hezbollah terror group, which will remain the purview of the IDF Northern Command.Bar’s new Force Design Directorate will work to develop new fighting techniques using aspects of all branches of the military. It is meant to complement the current system, in which each branch of the IDF is responsible for developing and implementing its own tactics — allowing for techniques that use both air power and ground forces, for instance.Judah Ari Gross contributed to this report.

Republican Jewish Coalition launches $50,000 pro-Trump ad campaign-The Times of Israel-Eight-minute clip touts US president as ‘most pro-Israel president in American history’By Marcy Oster-    Today, 10:21 pm

JTA — The Republican Jewish Coalition has launched a $50,000 ad buy in battleground states.To kick it off, the group released an eight-minute video highlighting President Donald Trump’s pro-Israel record on Friday.“President Trump is the most pro-Israel president in American history and with this video, the RJC is bringing that message to a targeted audience of data-modeled, persuadable Jewish voters in key states for the 2020 election,” RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said in a statement.The video features statements from prominent Israelis, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and ordinary citizens touting Trump’s record on Israel.The “Sunrise” campaign follows the RJC’s ad campaign “Shanda,” which launched in November.

Iran’s top rabbi says Israel ‘doesn’t care about Judaism’; hails Soleimani-The Times of Israel-Rabbi Yehuda Garami defends condolence visit to home of slain Iranian general, says he was a ‘national hero’-By TOI staff-june 21,20-Today, 11:51 pm

The chief rabbi of Iran’s Jewish community charged that Israel’s government “doesn’t care about Judaism at all,” and hailed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was killed earlier this year in a US drone strike, as a national hero.In a Hebrew interview with Al-Monitor, published Sunday and broadcast on Israel’s Channel 12, Rabbi Yehuda Garami denied any connection between Judaism and Zionism.Prominent figures in the Jewish community of Iran, where the Islamist regime avowedly seeks Israel’s destruction, intermittently issue anti-Israel statements that match the regime’s agenda.“People tend to get confused, but there is a big difference between Zionism and Judaism. Judaism is a religion that is 3,300 years old, while Zionism is a national and political movement that is just 100 years old. As a country, the State of Israel has nothing to do with religion in general and Judaism in particular,” he said.Garami denied that the conflict between Iran and Israel is a religious one and took a shot at the Israeli government.“The Israeli government doesn’t care about Judaism at all. Everything that they supposedly give to the Orthodox is because of some political deal or other, and not because of their religious approach,” he said.Garami also defended making a condolence call to the family of Soleimani, who headed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds Force.A girl holds a poster of top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani, as she takes part in an anti-US protest against the killing of the commander, in Iraq, in Lahore on January 12, 2020. (ARIF ALI / AFP)-“What the Western world does not fully understand is that Soleimani is an Iranian national hero. He is really admired in our country. He showed great bravery in the Iran-Iraq War. Then, in the war in Syria, it was Soleimani who defeated the Islamic State, and this was very important to the people of Iran,” Garami said.The Iranian rabbi also said the Jewish community emerged relatively unscathed from the coronavirus pandemic, after quickly shutting down synagogues as the virus spread.He claimed that the community enjoys “total freedom of religion.”“Unlike in Europe, for example, we do not have guards outside our synagogues and schools, and our personal safety is excellent. Of course, we sometimes encounter people who are anti-Semitic, but that happens everywhere. Most of the population respects us and lives in peace with us. What is important is that in Iran there is no such concept as organized attacks on Jews.”In May, Garami lashed out at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jewish Israelis, as Iran marked its annual anti-Israel Quds Day. He said in a Hebrew message aimed at Israelis: “You don’t represent Judaism.”Prior to the Islamic Revolution in 1979, there were some 100,000 Jews in Iran; by 2016, according to an Iranian census, that number had fallen to below 10,000.“We Iranian Jews want to sent this message to the Zionists, and first and foremost to Netanyahu. Know that you Zionists do not represent Judaism and do not represent the Jewish people,” Garami said in a statement broadcast on Iranian television last month. “You only represent the idea of a political movement whose ideas and values oppose the ideas and values of our holy Torah and the Jewish religion.We strongly condemn your aggressive actions and emphasize to the whole world: There is a big difference between Judaism and Zionism,” Garami said.ann_news) May 25, 2020-Iran’s sole Jewish parliamentarian, Siamak Moreh Sedgh, last month called on Jews worldwide to rise up against Israel, according to a report from the Iran Front Page news website.Opposing Israel is a humanitarian and religious obligation, Moreh Sedgh said, calling the Jewish state “the catastrophe of Zionism.”Sedgh, a physician who also serves as director of the Tehran Jewish Committee, has represented his community in parliament since 2012, and has been a frequent critic of Israel. He has made similar anti-Israel statements for Quds Day in past years.Iran is openly sworn to bring about Israel’s destruction and financially supports terrorist groups, like Hezbollah and Hamas, committed to this aim.

Solar eclipse wows stargazers in Africa, Asia, Middle East-[Associated Press-June 21, 2020

DUBAI (AP) — Stargazers in Africa, Asia and parts of the Middle East looked to the skies this weekend to witness a partial social eclipse.It was known as a “ring of fire” because the moon covered most, but not all, of the sun. It started at at 11:45 p.m. EDT Saturday and went until 5:34 a.m. EDT Sunday.Millions from Dubai to Taiwan to Japan to India watched the solar spectacle.In Dubai, people could see over 85 percent of the sun covered by moon, with photographers taking stunning photos of the eclipse over the iconic Burj Khalifa building.It was a sight that will not be possible in the country for another 14 years, according to Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Astronomy Group Hasan al-Hariri.Al-Hariri said while the ongoing coronavirus pandemic had halted their plans for a gathering to see the rare phenomena, the group has turned to the internet to help people observe the partial eclipse, providing a live feed of the moon as it passes between the earth and the sun.“An eclipse is kind of a rare event. It usually happens two times in a year, but it differs from location to location so it’s not fixed in one location. Now we were fortunate to have it, the one which was in December last year and this one, and then we will have one similar to this after 14 years. So it’s kind of something a bit rare to observe.”The observatory also sold solar eclipse glasses to the public to observe the eclipse safely.An overcast sky didn’t deter enthusiasts in India with the partial eclipse also visible in the New Delhi sky.

Major coronavirus outbreak in German slaughterhouse as R number rises-[The Telegraph]-Jorg Luyken-June 20, 2020

A mass infection of workers at a slaughterhouse in the Rhine region accompanied by an uptick in the R number is leading to concerns that the corona virus is making new inroads in Germany.Armin Laschet, leader in Germany’s largest state, North Rhine Westphalia, warned that he was contemplating a renewed lockdown after some 800 workers at one of the country’s largest slaughterhouses were confirmed.“The chain of infections can still be identified,” Mr Laschet said. “But if this changes a sweeping lockdown in the region will be necessary.”He added that the recent outbreak was “the biggest yet” in the region.Such a move would mean a return to strict contact restrictions for the city of Gütersoh, where the Tönnies slaughterhouse is based, and its 100,000 inhabitants. Schools and kindergartens in the city have already been closed.Local outbreaks of the infection in Berlin and Hesse have also raised concerns about a return of the epidemic in a country that was widely praised for its early handling of the pandemic.In Berlin’s Neukölln district - a poor and densely populated borough - several hundred households have been put under quarantine since Monday in response to a sharp rise in cases.The number of cases confirmed by German authorities on Saturday for the previous 24 hours stood at 601, following on from 770 the previous day. Earlier in June the number of new cases was as low as 300.The R number, which estimates how many people the average carrier infects, has also risen above 1, the value identified by Chancellor Angela Merkel as critical for controlling the outbreak. The seven-day average of the number, seen as the most reliable indicator of the progress of the virus, rose to 1.17 on Saturday.The Robert Koch Institute, Germany’s government virus authority, has said that the infections are still localized and do not indicate a nationwide reemergence.

In Israel, Greek PM brands Turkey a ‘threat to regional peace’-The Times of Israel-Netanyahu, speaking alongside Greek counterpart, refrains from criticizing Ankara as east Mediterranean tensions soar over gas pipeline-By AFP-june 16,20- Benjamin Netanyahu (L) and his Greek counterpart Kyriakos Mitsotakis, both wearing face masks against the coronavirus Covid-19, arrive to deliver joint statements in Jerusalem on June 16, 2020. (DEBBIE HILL / POOL / AFP)

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Tuesday accused Turkey of being a “threat to regional peace,” following wide-ranging talks in Jerusalem with his Israeli counterpart.In his first foreign trip since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Mitsotakis condemned “Turkey’s aggressive behavior in the eastern Mediterranean.”“We consider this activity to be a threat to regional peace and stability,” Mitsotakis told journalists after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.Along with Cyprus, Israel and Greece signed an agreement in January on building an undersea pipeline to carry gas from the eastern Mediterranean to Europe.Ankara stands opposed to the deal and has sent ships to search for energy reserves off Cyprus, while last week the Turkish military conducted an air and naval exercise in the eastern Mediterranean.“I have raised with the prime minister the recent incidents of illegal and provocative Turkish behavior at our sea and land borders,” the Greek premier said, standing alongside Netanyahu.Mitsotakis also criticized the “destabilizing effects that Turkey has played vis-a-vis its relationship with Libya.”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (right) and his Greek counterpart Kyriakos Mitsotakis issue joint statements in Jerusalem on June 16, 2020. (DEBBIE HILL / POOL / AFP)-Ankara backs the UN-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA), based in the capital Tripoli, which for more than a year has battled an offensive by military strongman Khalifa Haftar.Turkey has sent air defense systems, drones and Syrian rebel fighters in support of the GNA, reversing earlier defeats to Haftar’s forces.The Turkish government additionally signed a controversial deal last year with the GNA that claimed gas-rich areas of the Mediterranean for Ankara, an agreement deemed “completely null and void” on Tuesday by Mitsotakis.Focusing on two-way ties, Netanyahu held off from criticizing Turkey and was instead upbeat about Israel’s partnership with Athens.“We have common interests, we face common challenges, we have extraordinary common opportunities,” he said.The Greek delegation is the largest to visit Jerusalem in months, with Mitsotakis bringing with him six ministers — including the defense, energy and tourism ministers of Greece.Netanyahu said his government aims to allow Israelis to travel to Greece and Cyprus from August 1, if coronavirus infection rates remain low.An Air Cyprus plane seen at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, on August 4, 2014. (Moshe Shai/Flash90)-Greece started welcoming tourists from around 30 countries on Monday, following closures due to the pandemic, while Israel is yet to lift its ban on visitors, imposed in March.According to Israeli officials, the government is counting on Greece and other “friendly” countries to support it at the EU level.The European Union is currently weighing retaliatory measures as Israel plans to annex parts of the West Bank, a step included in a US peace initiative.The Greek delegation will not travel to the West Bank city of Ramallah to meet with Palestinian Authority officials, who have categorically rejected Washington’s plan.But in an interview published by Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot, Mitsotakis said he would speak to Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas “once I return to Athens.”“We want to see the Israelis and the Palestinians living alongside one another in peace and security,” he said.The Israeli government says it could start the process of annexing the settlements and the Jordan Valley from July 1, a move which the UN has warned may spark violence.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Gantz: Iran’s ‘blatant’ nuclear violations threaten Israel and global stability-The Times of Israel-Defense minister hails IAEA resolution criticizing Tehran for blocking inspector’s access to suspect sites; vows Iran will never get atomic weapons-By TOI staff and AFP-june 19,20-Today, 5:03 pm

Defense Minister Benny Gantz on Friday hailed the UN nuclear watchdog’s passing of a resolution criticizing Iran for not granting access to suspicious sites, saying that Tehran’s nuclear ambitions threatened Israel and global stability.The resolution passed by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s board of governors, the first of its kind since 2012, calls on Iran to grant inspectors access to two sites to determine whether undeclared nuclear activity took place there in the early 2000s.In a statement applauding the move, Gantz accused Iran of violating the 2015 agreement between Tehran and world powers that curbed its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.“We’ve known for years that Iran is concealing blatant violations of the nuclear deal with the intention of threatening both Israel and global stability,” Gantz said in a statement. “Israel will not allow Iran to achieve nuclear capability and the international community is doing the right thing by insisting on effective inspections.”Top Israeli officials have long accused Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, a charge denied by Iranian leaders, who insist their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.Iran has been blocking access to the sites flagged by the IAEA for months, prompting a growing diplomatic row.Iran’s ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Gharib Abadi, waits for the start of the IAEA board of governors meeting at the International Center in Vienna, Austria, November 7, 2019. (AP Photo/Ronald Zak)The resolution was carried by 25 votes in favor versus two against, with seven abstentions. Russia and China, both of which had spoken out against the prospect of a resolution earlier this week, voted against.It had been put forward by France, Germany and Britain and supported by the United States, even though the American ambassador to the UN in Vienna had said “the text could be strengthened.”Iran’s Ambassador to the UN in Vienna Kazem Gharib Abadi told Friday’s meeting that the resolution will not “encourage Iran to grant access to the Agency based on fabricated and unfounded allegations.”“Iran categorically deplores this resolution and will take appropriate action in response, the repercussions of which would be upon the sponsors of this resolution,” he added.Even though the sites in question are not thought to be directly relevant to Iran’s current nuclear program, the agency says it needs to know if activities going back almost two decades have been properly declared and all materials accounted for.Despite the row over the two sites, the IAEA says it still has the access it needs to inspect Iran’s declared nuclear facilities, as per its mandate under the 2015 nuclear accord.However, the latest dispute comes as that deal further unravels, with Iran continuing to breach its limits on nuclear activity in retaliation to a US withdrawal from the accord in 2018 and renewed sanctions.Iran has previously hinted that a resolution along the lines of the one passed Friday could cause “complication and difficulties” for the future of the 2015 accord, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).In his statement, Gharib Abadi warned the IAEA against actions that could lead to “the destruction of the JCPOA.”Director-general of International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, speaks before the start of the IAEA board of governors meeting at the International Center in Vienna, Austria, March 9, 2020. (AP Photo/Ronald Zak)Speaking to reporters after the resolution was passed, IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said it would be “absolutely unacceptable” if an example were to be set that states can be selective in their implementation of agreements with the UN agency.“There are no exceptions. There is no Additional Protocol a la carte,” Grossi said, referring to the agreement under which the IAEA requested access to the sites.“I intend to sit down with Iran very soon and to try to solve this as soon as possible,” he said, adding that Gharib Abadi would be his first port of call.Iran this week argued that the IAEA’s access requests were based on allegations from Israel, which has flagged at least one site as a “secret atomic warehouse” and pressed the IAEA to investigate.Additional information provided by the IAEA to back up its requests “were merely some commercial satellite imageries that contained no convincing underlying reason” to provide access, Tehran argued.Also on Friday, the British Foreign Office said Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab would be meeting French and German counterparts in Berlin to discuss “a diplomatic solution to Iran’s destabilizing activities in the Middle East.”

Envoy to US: Annexation will help cure Ramallah of ‘illusions,’ accept 2 states-The Times of Israel-Envoy to US: Annexation will help cure Ramallah of ‘illusions,’ accept 2 states-Ron Dermer, in op-ed for Washington Post, says world has helped foster false Palestinian hopes of ending Israeli state, asserts Jerusalem’s plan will help them accept reality-By TOI staff-june 20,20-Today, 7:20 pm

Israel’s plan to annex large swaths of the West Bank will help, not hurt, the prospects of peace with the Palestinians, by convincing them to abandon their “illusion” of ending the Jewish state project and agree to a true two-state solution, Israel’s Ambassador to the US said in an op-ed published Saturday.Ron Dermer argued, in his opinion piece (paywall) for The Washington Post, that the international community’s policies have inadvertently helped the Palestinians foster false hopes of one day overthrowing the Jewish state.“The extension of Israeli sovereignty to certain territories in Judea and Samaria will not, as many critics suggest, destroy the two-state solution. But it will shatter the two-state illusion. And in doing so, it will open the door to a realistic two-state solution and get the peace process out of the cul-de-sac it has been stuck in for two decades,” Dermer wrote.He added, “Palestinian leaders have rejected every Israeli peace overture while systematically promoting a culture that rejects peace and glorifies terrorism, including by providing a lifetime of financial support for terrorists who murder Jews.”The conflict “has never been about establishing a Palestinian state. It has always been about rejecting the Jewish state,” he argued.And international leaders, by ignoring “the root cause of the conflict” and “doubling down on a failed strategy,” have continuously moved the goalposts closer to the Palestinian position in an attempt to bring them to agree to a resolution, he asserted.Palestinians riot by the border fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel, east of Gaza City, on October 11, 2019. (Said Khatib/AFP)-The result, he said, was a “two-state illusion” that has “proved disastrous for peace,” maintaining Palestinian refusal to generous offers from Israel over the years while losing the Israeli public as each overture was met with more and more terrorism.The Trump peace plan, Dermer argued, offered a true course to peace by demanding Palestinian recognition of Israel’s legitimacy and addressing its security concerns, while seeking realistic solutions to the situation on the ground.Israel’s annexation plan, he stated, will relate only to “territories that will remain part of Israel in any realistic peace agreement.” This, Israel hopes, “will convince the Palestinians that another century of rejectionism is a losing strategy and that the Jewish state is here to stay.”Earlier this week coalition whip Miki Zohar said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had promised his Likud faction that no government he leads will ever recognize a Palestinian state, even in principle.“The prime minister announced yesterday at the faction meeting that in no constellation will the government or the Knesset recognize the principle of establishing a Palestinian state,” Zohar tweeted.Palestinians attend a Hamas rally in the southern Gaza Strip, on December 16, 2019. (Fadi Fahd/Flash90 )-Some settler leaders have also heavily criticized Netanyahu’s push for annexation, saying it will pave the way, under the Trump plan, for a Palestinian state.Under a coalition deal between Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Benny Gantz, signed last month, the government can pursue annexation of all the settlements and the Jordan Valley — the 30 percent of the West Bank allocated to Israel under the Trump administration peace plan — from July 1.The Palestinians have rejected the US plan, and earlier this month said they had submitted a counter-proposal for a demilitarized Palestinian state to the Middle East peacemaking Quartet — the US, EU, UN and Russia.The Trump administration has indicated it will not oppose Netanyahu’s declared plans to do so, but has lately signaled ambivalence about the timing of such a move. And according to recent Hebrew media reports, the US administration wants Gantz to be on board with any annexation move.View of the Israeli settlement of Efrat, in the West Bank, on January 6, 2020. (Hadas Parush//Flash90)-While Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, a member of Blue and White, have backed Trump’s peace plan, they have signaled opposition to annexing lands unilaterally and endangering the peace deal with Jordan.Jordan’s King Abdullah deemed unilateral annexation “unacceptable” in briefings this week to American lawmakers, and is expected to withdraw his ambassador, downgrade ties with Israel and reconsider the 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty if Netanyahu goes ahead. Abdullah also said he was trying to persuade Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to enter negotiations with Israel, however, and Jordan’s foreign minister this week reportedly told Abbas in Ramallah to telephone US President Donald Trump to explain his opposition to unilateral Israeli annexation.Channel 13 reported Friday that Netanyahu and Gantz held further talks on annexation, but did not make any progress toward reaching an agreement. The two have met several times in recent days to discuss the matter, including for talks attended by US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman.According to a Channel 12 report Friday, Netanyahu has drawn up four scenarios for annexation in which Israel would extend territory over most of the settlements and a total of anywhere from 12% to 30% of the West Bank.The issue has also threatened to upend years of diplomatic work forging quiet ties between Israel and Gulf states. Last Friday, the United Arab Emirates’ influential ambassador to the US, Yousef al-Otaiba, warned in a Hebrew op-ed published in an Israeli paper that Abu Dhabi would freeze normalization if annexation moves ahead.Interview-EU’s elder statesman: Annexation flouts biblical tenet ‘Thou shalt not steal’-Luxembourg FM Jean Asselborn warns move would ‘make it very difficult’ for the EU to sign future agreements with Israel, explains why his country would recognize Palestinian state-By Raphael Ahren-june 19,20-Today, 11:19 amJean Asselborn is the closest thing Europe has to an elder statesman. He is the continent’s longest-serving top diplomat, having been Luxembourg’s foreign minister for the last 16 years; and he is widely respected in the European Union’s foreign affairs milieu, with an influence over its international relations in inverse proportion to his tiny country’s size.He has long been a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause, and in recent weeks assumed the role of one of the EU’s most vocal opponents of Israel’s plan to unilaterally annex parts of the West Bank — second perhaps only to the bloc’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell.Asselborn, 71, was behind an unsuccessful effort to issue a joint EU statement warning Israel against such a move, and has reportedly urged his colleagues to recognize a Palestinian state if Israel goes ahead with its plan to apply sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and all settlements across the West Bank — the 30 percent of territory allocated to Israel under the Trump administration peace plan.He has also been a fixture in the media speaking out against annexation, including taking his case straight to the Israeli people with interviews in the Israeli press.“An annexation would be contrary to the security interests of the whole region, including Israel,” Asselborn said Monday at a virtual meeting of EU foreign ministers with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. “Now is the time for urgent concerted action to preserve the prospect of peace.”In an interview with German news magazine Der Spiegel earlier this month, Asselborn didn’t just warn that annexation constitutes a violation of international law, but suggested that it may well be a violation of divine law.Luxembourg FM Jean Asselborn (courtesy)-“In the Middle East, which is strongly shaped by religion, one could also say that an annexation violates the seventh of the Ten Commandments: Thou shalt not steal. An annexation of parts of the West Bank would be just that: stealing,” he said.Asked by The Times of Israel this week if he truly believes Israel would be violating the Ten Commandments by asserting sovereignty over the Jewish people’s biblical homeland, Asselborn did not back down.“I am not an expert in theology, but I think that in all cultures and religions, there is a well-established norm against theft. This is one of the basic norms of human coexistence and a fundamental principle of international law. The acquisition of territory by force is inadmissible,” he said.“Notwithstanding the Ten Commandments,” he added, “seizing territory by force is a violation of Israel’s obligations under the UN Charter as well as the Geneva Conventions, and goes against a host of UN Security Council resolutions.”I am not an expert in theology, but I think that in all cultures and religions, there is a well-established norm against theftAsselborn, who also served as Luxembourg’s deputy prime minister between 2004 and 2013, confirmed that his country would recognize a Palestinian state if Israel went ahead with annexation. Recognition of Palestinian statehood “would send a strong signal in defense of international law, and would contribute to creating a slightly less unequal situation between the two parties,” he said.While declining to discuss possible sanctions against Israel, the senior diplomat warned that annexation would create a situation in which it would become increasingly difficult to distinguish between Israel proper and areas the international community does not recognize as part of sovereign Israel. And this would “make it very difficult for the EU and Israel to enter into future agreements and implement existing ones,” he said ominously.Annexation may also result in a “one-state reality, made of unequal rights and perpetual conflict” replacing the two-state solution, Asselborn said. “A struggle for statehood would then evolve into an anti-apartheid-like struggle. Regardless of what comes next, this cannot be the answer.”A Palestinian throws a stone during clashes with Israeli forces following Friday prayers at the al-Aroub refugee camp, north of Hebron in the West Bank, on February 7, 2020. (Hazem Bader/AFP)-The Luxembourg foreign minister’s office had agreed with The Times of Israel to a telephone interview for Thursday morning but asked to be sent the questions in advance. Upon receiving them, his office decided to cancel the scheduled conversation on short notice and submitted Asselborn’s “personal answers to the questions” instead.What follows is the entire Q&A.The Times of Israel: You have said several times that Israel’s plan to annex parts of the West Bank is a violation of international law, and indeed “theft.” Some pro-Israel advocates take great offense to such an assertion, arguing that the Jewish people have a legal right to the territory, based, inter alia, on the 1920 San Remo Conference. Could you please explain how exactly applying Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank amounts to theft? What international law or treaty makes the West Bank “Palestinian territory” that Israel can be accused of stealing? Jean Asselborn: I believe theft is generally defined as taking something from someone by force, and against his will. Applying Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank — which is another way of saying annexation — is exactly this: it is taking from the Palestinian people a territory that Israel has occupied by force.According to international law, the UN Charter and relevant UN resolutions, in particular UN Security Council resolutions 242 of 1967 and 338 of 1973, the West Bank remains under Israeli occupation and the acquisition of territory by force is inadmissible.In a recent interview, you went as far as citing the Ten Commandments. Do you really think that Israel would be violating one of the Ten Commandments by asserting sovereignty over the Jewish people’s biblical heartland, to which it has undeniable historic links?I am not an expert in theology, but I think that in all cultures and religions, there is a well-established norm against theft. This is one of the basic norms of human coexistence and a fundamental principle of international law. The acquisition of territory by force is inadmissible.Notwithstanding the Ten Commandments, seizing territory by force is a violation of Israel’s obligations under the UN Charter as well as the Geneva Conventions, and goes against a host of UN Security Council resolutions.You have been comparing the possible annexation of the West Bank with Russia’s annexation of Crimea. But even Josep Borrell acknowledged the other day that the two situations cannot be compared, because no one currently has sovereignty over the West Bank, as opposed to Crimea, which everyone agrees (except Russia of course) belongs to Ukraine. Luxembourg does not currently recognize a Palestinian state, so how can you argue that Israel applying sovereignty over this territory is comparable to the Crimea situation? Annexation is not a matter of legal, theological or philosophical debate. It is a matter of principle. I use the example of Crimea to illustrate this principle: annexation is against international law and must be opposed, whenever and wherever it occurs. While Luxembourg recognized Israel in 1949, it is true that Luxembourg does not currently recognize a Palestinian state.However, we firmly believe in the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, to live in peace and dignity in their own sovereign and viable state. By opposing annexation, we are defending this right. It is also important to acknowledge what the Palestinians think about occupation and annexation. Their political rights will not disappear miraculously in case of annexation.The EU responded to Russia’s annexation with sanctions. Are you in favor of sanctions, or other less dramatic punitive measures, against Israel if annexation takes place? What kind of steps do you think would be appropriate for an annexation of the Jordan Valley and all other settlements across the West Bank, as PM Netanyahu currently says he plans on doing?As I have said many times, I do not want to speak about sanctions. On the contrary: we in the European Union have an interest in maintaining and further developing the longstanding friendship between Israel and the EU.Then-foreign minister Avigdor Liberman, left, hosts Foreign Minister of Luxembourg Jean Asselborn in the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem, February 23, 2011. (Miriam Alster/Flash90)-However, this has already been made difficult by the ongoing occupation and illegal settlement activities, and I fear this will be even more difficult in case of annexation. Our relationship will be put under severe strain if Israel decides to go ahead with annexation.Would your view on sanctions/punitive measures change if Israel were to opt for a partial annexation, for example of only the Jordan Valley or one or several settlement blocs (which everyone agrees will be part of Israel in any conceivable future peace agreement)? As I said before, we oppose annexation as being contrary to international law. A partial annexation is still an annexation and therefore not somehow more acceptable. The Palestinians have repeatedly stated that they are open to minor border modifications and the exchange of territory equivalent in size, volume and value.The UN Security Council underlined in its resolution 2334 of December 23, 2016, that it will not recognize any changes to the June 4, 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the parties through negotiations. And I don’t think what we are currently witnessing is in any way agreed or based on negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians.The Security Council votes on Resolution 2334, December 23, 2016. (UN Photo/Manuel Elias)-According to some, any substantial EU countermeasures against Israel would be blocked by Brussels’ requirement for unanimity. Can the EU theoretically exclude Israel from next year’s Horizon Europe program, or change the preferential tariff treatment for Israeli imports, or ban the import of settlement goods, if one or several countries oppose such steps? If so, what could Brussels do that does not require consensus of all 27 member states?Again, as I said before: I want to further develop our relationship with Israel, but international law, as reflected in UN Security Council resolution 2334, requires states to distinguish in their dealings with Israel between the territory of the State of Israel and the territory occupied since 1967.One could say that a creeping annexation is already taking place. De jure annexation will make it very difficult for the EU and Israel to enter into future agreements and implement existing ones.Our own EU guidelines say that any agreement with Israel must clearly stipulate its inapplicability to the territories occupied since 1967. What we are seeing is that the continuation of the illegal settlement policy by the Israeli government is making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between the two.One could say that a creeping annexation is already taking place. De jure annexation will make it virtually impossible to make such a territorial distinction and thereby make it very difficult for the EU and Israel to enter into future agreements and implement existing ones. This would create a “lose-lose” situation that is in nobody’s interest.One possible response to annexation would be recognition of Palestine as a state by individual EU member states. I believe you already said that Luxembourg would take such a step. How do you think such a mostly symbolic move would contribute to peace? Shouldn’t the recognition or non-recognition of a state depend on objective criteria regarding the requirements of statehood and not on what another state is or is not doing? The recognition of the State of Palestine in the 1967 borders would send a strong signal in defense of international law, and would contribute to creating a slightly less unequal situation between the two parties. It would also demonstrate our support for the two-state solution, which we believe is the only just and sustainable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Palestinians wave their national flag during a rally in the West Bank city of Ramallah on November 29, 2012 to support Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas who is heading to the United Nations General Assembly today with huge backing for his bid for UN recognition of statehood despite strong US and Israeli opposition.

(Issam Rimawi/Flash90)-Will Luxembourg encourage other EU countries to follow its example and recognize a Palestinian state? This is something that every state must decide on its own, in accordance with its own national procedures. However, it is clear to me that recognition by a single member state would not make much of a difference. Our national parliament voiced its support for the recognition of the State of Palestine in December 2014 and invited the government to go ahead with recognition at the time deemed most appropriate.In my view, the most appropriate time would be when a group of EU member states would be ready to take the step to recognize the State of Palestine. This would send a strong signal of support for the two-state solution.Foreign Minister of Luxembourg Jean Asselborn, right, meets President Reuven Rivlin in Jerusalem, September 7, 2015 (Mark Neyman/GPO)-You recently said in a statement that annexation “would deal a fatal blow to the two-state solution.” Indeed, more and more actors in the international community believe that such a move would make impossible the future creation of a viable Palestinian state and kill once and for all the two-state paradigm. Do you envision your country, and others in Europe, ever dropping the two-state solution and replacing it with the notion of one unitary state between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean, with equal rights for all?The two-state solution based on the internationally agreed-upon parameters is the only solution that can provide a just and lasting peace in the Middle East. These parameters cannot simply be abandoned or replaced unilaterally. They are the result of political negotiations that led to an international consensus.However, over the past decades we have seen the physical feasibility of the two-state solution and the viability of a Palestinian state being eroded by Israel through construction and expansion of settlements, demolitions, confiscations and forced displacement, which are all illegal under international law, especially the fourth Geneva Convention.In this February 18, 2020, photo, a view of the West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Efraim on the hills of the Jordan Valley. (AP/Ariel Schalit)-The international community has collectively failed to prevent this, while the Palestinians are unable to oppose those developments that undermine their future state.Now there is a serious risk that the two-state solution could be replaced with a one-state reality, made of unequal rights and perpetual conflict. A struggle for statehood would then evolve into an anti-apartheid-like struggle. Regardless of what comes next, this cannot be the answer.Such a one-state solution would spell the end of the Zionist dream of a Jewish state, but many European countries have never formally endorsed Israel’s desire to be recognized as a Jewish state. Do you recognize Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people in which all citizens have equal rights, regardless of religion and ethnicity?How Israel wishes to define itself is for the Israeli government and the Israeli citizens to decide. In a democracy, all citizens should have the same rights, regardless of ethnicity or belief.

Palestinians in Jordan Valley fear annexation heralds displacement-The Times of Israel-Many of the region’s lands have already been taken over by settlements or fenced off by the IDF; residents, analysts believe process could accelerate under Israeli sovereignty-By Joseph Krauss-june 19,20-Today, 9:49 am

FASAYIL, West Bank (AP) — For generations, the people of Fasayil herded animals on the desert bluffs and palm-shaded lowlands of the Jordan Valley. Today, nearly every man in the Palestinian village works for Jewish settlers in the sprawling modern farms to the north and south.The grazing lands to the west and east, leading down to the banks of the biblical Jordan River, have been swallowed up by the settlements or fenced off by the Israeli military. So instead of leading sheep out to pasture, the men rise before dawn to work in the settlements for around $3 an hour — or they move away.“Everyone here works in the settlements, there’s nothing else,” said Iyad Taamra, a member of the village council who runs a small grocery store. “If you have some money you go somewhere else where there is a future.”Palestinians fear communities across the Jordan Valley will meet a similar fate if Israel proceeds with its plans to annex the territory, which accounts for around a quarter of the West Bank and was once seen as the bread basket of a future Palestinian state.In this Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2020 file photo, a Palestinian demonstrator covers his face from tear gas fired by Israeli forces as he holds a poster of US President Donald Trump during a protest against Trump’s Mideast initiative, in yjr Jordan Valley in the West Bank (AP Photo/Majdi Mohammed, File)-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to annex the valley and all of Israel’s far-flung West Bank settlements, in line with US President Donald Trump’s Middle East plan, which has been rejected by the Palestinians as overwhelmingly favoring Israel. The process could begin as soon as July 1.Netanyahu has said Israel will annex the land but not the people who rely on it, telling an Israeli newspaper they will remain in an “enclave” under limited self-rule, with Israel maintaining security control.Few, if any, Palestinians would be given citizenship, leaving their legal status uncertain. In a region that heavily relies on agriculture, the loss of farm and grazing land could force many to relocate.Shaul Arieli, a retired Israeli military commander who worked on border demarcation during the peace process in the 1990s, estimates that the Palestinians would lose up to 70,000 acres (280 square kilometers) of private land. He expects Israel will carve out a new 200-kilometer (124-mile) border between the Jordan Valley and the rest of the West Bank, and a 60-kilometer (37-mile) border around the Palestinian city of Jericho.He based his conclusions on maps presented by Netanyahu and the White House, which show Israel extending sovereignty over large swaths of land while leaving most populated areas outside its borders.In this Sunday, Jan. 26, 2020 file photo, Jewish settlers stand at a view point overlooking the West Bank city of Jericho from the Jewish settlement of Mitzpe Yeriho (AP Photo/Oded Balilty, File)-Itay Epshtain, a special adviser to the Norwegian Refugee Council, said Palestinians would lose some of the limited protections they have, once Israeli courts are no longer formally obliged to consider international laws related to military occupation.“Palestinians void of civil status in Israel, and not coming under the authority of the military commander, would neither have standing in the High Court nor the ability to challenge decisions of the government,” he said.The Jordan Valley is home to around 60,000 Palestinians, according to the UN, but nearly 90 percent of the land is part of what is known as Area C, the three-fifths of the West Bank that is under complete Israeli control. In the Jordan Valley, it includes closed military areas and around 50 agricultural settlements housing some 12,000 Israelis.Palestinians are barred from those areas, and even on the lands they own, are forbidden from digging wells or building any kind of infrastructure without hard-to-get military permits. From 2009 until 2016, less than 2% of more than 3,300 permit applications in Area C were successful, according to Peace Now, an Israeli anti-settlement group, citing official statistics.In this Monday, Feb. 10, 2020 file photo Palestinian farmers harvest onions in Jordan Valley in the West Bank (AP Photo/Majdi Mohammed, File)-Anything built without a permit, from home extensions to tents, animal pens and irrigation networks, is at risk of demolition by the Israeli military.“If you dig a well they will come the next day and fill it with concrete,” said Hani Saida, a farmer from the town of al-Auja. “They may annex this area, but they will never give us equal rights. They’ll keep trying to drive us away.”COGAT, the Israeli military body that oversees civilian affairs in the West Bank, declined to comment.Abdul-Malik al-Jaber, a Canadian-Palestinian businessman and the chairman of a large company that exports dates from the Jordan Valley, says the process of obtaining permits is a “nightmare,” even for big investors.“There’s no way on earth a normal, simple farmer can afford the cost and the complications,” he said.Al-Jaber said his company has spent the last two months and around $35,000 trying to secure a permit to build a modern date-packing plant on land he owns. He was told the Israeli military considers it a training area, even though farmers live there and work the land.He fears annexation will only make things more difficult, by cutting off workers from the company’s fields and factories and further complicating the export process.This Feb. 18, 2020 file photo shows a view of the West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Efraim on the hills of the Jordan Valley (AP Photo/Ariel Schalit, File)-Israel’s annexation plans have sparked an international outcry, with European and Arab countries warning that it would violate international law and threaten any remaining hopes for a two-state solution.But in the Jordan Valley and elsewhere in the West Bank, the response has been more muted.“From 1967 until today, water for drinking, water for agriculture, the border, the crossings, the roads, the government lands in Area C between the villages and the cities, the entrances to the towns — all of them are under Israeli control,” said Mohannad Saida, a cousin of Hani.In this Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2020 file photo, a Palestinian demonstrator hurls back a tear gas canister fired by Israeli forces during clashes as they protest against US President Donald Trump’s Mideast initiative, in the Jordan Valley in the West Bank (AP Photo/Majdi Mohammed, File)“Nothing is going to change,” he said.He said his family owns around 750 acres (3 square kilometers) north of al-Auja, stretching to the banks of the Jordan River. They fled during the 1967 war, when Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan and their land was sealed off as a military zone.Over the years, they would drive into the hills to look down over the land. About 15 years ago, they noticed rows of freshly planted date trees, an extension of a nearby settlement.A few years later, a relative who worked as a bulldozer driver was able to enter the area for an Israeli construction project. He took pictures of the mud-brick homes where their ancestors had been born and raised.“We saw our mud houses,” Saida said. “They are still standing.”Archaeologists unearth Galilee Christian town sacked by Persians in 7th century-The Times of Israel-Archaeology-Remains of affluent, rural community discovered at Pi Mazuva in 2007 include crosses, pagan-inspired mosaic; new publication illuminates the Christians who lived there-By Luke Tress-june 19,20-Today, 3:53 pmIsraeli archaeologists have published a 360-degree analysis of a rural, affluent Christian town in the Galilee that was most likely destroyed by Persian invaders in 613 CE.Unearthed in 2007 in a salvage excavation before roadworks near Shlomi and Kibbutz Hanita, the remains of the Byzantine settlement at Pi Mazuva are located in modern Israel’s northwest corner on the border with Lebanon. The finds include Christian iconography, a large house and a colorful, high-quality, partially preserved mosaic floor.The findings were published in June’s edition of Atiqot, a research journal produced by the Israel Antiquities Authority, and initially reported on in Haaretz. The lead researchers were Gilad Cinamon, Yoav Lerer, Gabriela Bijovsky and Rina Talgam.According to the open-source Hebrew-language publication, the settlement was mentioned in the 4th-5th century Jerusalem Talmud as being part of “forbidden territories,” and according to Jewish law (halacha), were not considered part of Jewish territory. At the same time, certain commandments for Jews located in the Land of Israel were still enforced.“While for now we have no documents from Christian sources about this settlement, all the evidence points to an almost entirely Christian population,” Cinamon told Haaretz.In addition to the colorful mosaic, researchers also found pottery, a bronze cross, Arab-Byzantine coins, a rare sixth-century bronze weight and stones with crosses carved into them. Four structures were excavated in two seasons, which straddled narrow alleys. The researchers write that the bronze weight “teaches about the economic well-being of the rural community.”Rare Byzantine-era bronze weight found at Pi Metzuba in 2007. (IAA)-The 5-by-5-meter (16-by-16 foot) mosaic portrays floral motifs, animal and human figures, and fragments of Greek inscriptions, which have not been deciphered over a decade after their reveal. The researchers said it was probably made by experienced artists and adorned the floor of a local villa. It was removed to a local archaeology museum at Kibbutz Ein Dor, near Nazareth, where it is currently on display, according to Haaretz.The pastoral illustrations include images of cats, a rabbit eating grapes, a goblet, birds, a young man, fruit plants and a woman who seems to personify abundance and agricultural fertility.The motifs are eclectic, pointing to a continuity of classical traditions, on the one hand, and turning away from them, on the other,” the researchers wrote. “This mosaic joins many other mosaic floors that were created after the Muslim conquest, attesting that local Byzantine traditions continued throughout the 7th–8th centuries CE.”An archaeological excavation in northern Israel at the Pi Mazuva dig site in 2007. (Courtesy/Israel Antiquities Authority)-The room contained Christian objects but did not appear to be a chapel, but a hall used to entertain guests in an affluent family’s farmhouse.The coins found at the site date to the Byzantine and early Islamic periods, except for one, which was minted in Lyon, France, in 314 or 315 CE.The site was first discovered in 2007 during road construction and has only been partially excavated. Most of the site was backfilled, awaiting future archaeologists.A community near the site today preserves the Byzantine-era name and is called Kibbutz Metzuba.The Byzantine Empire and the Sasanian Persian Empire went to war between 602 and 628 CE, the last of a series of conflicts between the two powers. The Persians invaded modern-day Israel and conquered Jerusalem in 614, with the help of some Jewish allies who had been persecuted by the Byzantines.According to the researchers, there were about 140 Christian settlements in the region during this era, including 63 churches or monasteries. Another 13 settlements had a mixed population. Many of these Christian sites in the Galilee were destroyed in the Persian invasion.UN nuclear watchdog passes resolution criticizing Iran, in first since 2012-The Times of Israel-Agency chief says selective adherence to deal 'unacceptable'-Motion calls on Tehran to provide IAEA inspectors with access to two sites suspected of undeclared nuclear activity in the early 2000s; Iran has blocked access for months-By AFP and TOI staff-june 19,20-Today, 1:00 pmThe board of governors at the UN’s nuclear watchdog has passed a resolution critical of Iran, diplomatic sources said Friday, the first of its kind since 2012.The resolution calls on Tehran to provide inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) with access to two sites in Iran in order to clarify whether undeclared nuclear activity took place there in the early 2000s.It “calls on Iran to fully cooperate with the Agency and satisfy the Agency’s requests without any further delay, including by providing prompt access to the locations specified by the Agency.”Iran has been blocking access to the sites for months, prompting a growing diplomatic row.The resolution was carried by 25 votes in favor versus two against, with seven abstentions. Russia and China, both of which had spoken out against the prospect of a resolution earlier this week, voted against.t had been put forward by France, Germany and Britain and supported by the United States, even though the American ambassador to the UN in Vienna had said “the text could be strengthened.”General view of the board of governors meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, at the International Center in Vienna, Austria, August 1, 2019. (AP Photo/Ronald Zak)Earlier this week Iran warned that such a resolution would be “counterproductive” and that it would take “appropriate measures” in response.Russia’s Ambassador to the UN in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov echoed that position after the resolution was passed on Friday.“While stressing the need for Tehran and IAEA to settle this problem without delay, we believe that the resolution can be counterproductive,” he tweeted.Even though the sites in question are not thought to be directly relevant to Iran’s current nuclear program, the agency says it needs to know if activities going back almost two decades have been properly declared and all materials accounted for.Speaking to reporters after the resolution was passed on Friday, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said it would be “absolutely unacceptable” if an example were to be set that states can be selective in their implementation of agreements with the UN agency.“There are no exceptions. There is no Additional Protocol a la carte,” Grossi said, referring to the agreement under which the IAEA requested access to the sites.“I intend to sit down with Iran very soon and to try to solve this as soon as possible,” he said, adding that Iran’s ambassador to the UN in Vienna Kazem Gharib Abadi would be his first port of call.Earlier this week Gharib Abadi argued in a statement that the IAEA’s access requests were based on allegations from Iran’s arch-enemy Israel.Iran this week argued that the IAEA’s access requests were based on allegations from Israel, which has flagged at least one site as a “secret atomic warehouse” and pressed the IAEA to investigate.Iran’s alleged atomic warehouse in Turquzabad, Tehran. (YouTube screenshot)-Despite the row over the two sites, the IAEA says it still has the access it needs to inspect Iran’s declared nuclear facilities, as the agency is mandated to do under the landmark deal between Iran and world powers reached in 2015.However the latest row comes as that deal continues to unravel, with Iran continuing to breach the limits on nuclear activity in the accord in retaliation for the United States’ withdrawal from it and reimposition of sanctions.At the start of this week’s meeting on Monday, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi repeated his appeal to Iran to “cooperate immediately and fully” and grant access.While the new resolution is largely symbolic in character, it could be a prelude for the dispute being referred to the UN Security Council, the only UN body that can impose sanctions.US President Donald Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal two years ago and went on to re-impose tough economic sanctions on Iran. In retaliation, Iran has been slowly abandoning limits on its activities set out under the deal, including on the size and enrichment level of its uranium stockpile.Iran has accused the European parties to the deal — France, the UK and Germany — of not doing enough to mitigate the impact of American sanctions.

Iran's currency hits lowest value ever against the dollar-[Associated Press]-june 20, 2020

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s currency has dropped to its lowest value ever at 190,000 rial for each dollar amid severe U.S. sanctions against the country.The Iranian currency has tumbled from a rate of 32,000 rials to $1 at the time of Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.The rial unexpectedly rallied after President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from the nuclear deal and reimpose crippling trade sanctions over two years ago.U.S. sanctions have caused Iran’s oil exports, the country’s main source of income, to fall sharply.Last week, Senior Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri said that Iran’s oil revenues have plummeted to $8 billion from $100 billion in 2011.Iran recently sent five tankers with at least $45.5 million worth of gasoline and similar products to Venezuela.It was a way to bring money into its cash-starved Iran and put its own pressure on the U.S., which under Trump has pursued maximalist campaigns against both nations.
