Israelis
told to avoid northern streams after leptospirosis outbreak-Dozens
reportedly infected or suspected of contracting potentially fatal
disease, which is transmitted to humans via animal urine-By TOI staff
-oct 13,20-Today, 5:13 pm
The Health Ministry and Environmental
Protection Ministry on Tuesday advised against visiting northern
streams, after unsafe levels of contaminants at a number of locations
were believed to have caused an outbreak of a potentially fatal
disease.A joint statement said the Health Ministry has received some 50
reports of people who were confirmed or suspected of being infected with
leptospirosis, with a significant number of them falling ill after
visiting northern streams or rivers.Leptospirosis is a bacterial
infection transmitted via animal urine, and can be fatal. It can cause
headaches, muscle pains and fevers, or in more severe cases, bleeding in
the lungs or meningitis. The statement did not give details on the
condition of any of those who were confirmed to have the disease.An
initial epidemiological review found that exposure to the bacteria was
traced to the Jordan River and the Hatzbani, Kziv, Zaki, Gilabon,
Zevitan, Amud, Betzet, Amikam and Banias streams. A number of popular
hiking trails run along and through the streams.The Sa’ar River on the
Golan Heights, April 3, 2019. (Sue Surkes/Times of Israel)“Morbidity
data together with environmental data (abnormalities in water samples
and presence of cattle in streams) requires that measures be taken to
prevent further infection,” the statement said.The ministries advised
against visiting any northern water streams until further notice.Israel
is currently under a nationwide lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak
with travel restrictions limiting people to within one kilometer of
home. As a result, the number of hikers visiting the streams should be
lower than usual.There have been periodic incidents of dangerous
contaminants bringing closure of northern streams and water sites.Last
year the Health Ministry blocked tourist access to several popular
streams in northern Israel due to unsafe contamination.In 2018 health
officials shuttered several waterways in the Golan Heights after dozens
of people were hospitalized with leptospirosis. At the time, the Health
Ministry said that 42 people had tested positive for the disease after
swimming in streams in the Golan, and another 242 people were suspected
of contracting it.Health experts quoted by Hebrew-language news outlets
at the time said they suspected the outbreak of the disease was caused
by the large number of wild boars in the Golan Heights, coupled with a
persistent drought in recent years that has driven them to huddle next
to streams regularly, and to urinate in them.
Dubai-based company
to bid for purchase of Israir Airlines-NY Koen Group, owned by
Ukrainian businessman Naum Koen, says it will draw on its experience
with existing private jet division-By TOI staff and Agencies-oct
13,20-Today, 6:40 pm 0
A Dubai-based company said Monday it will
bid in an ongoing auction for Israir Airlines, one of Israel’s largest
carriers and tourism companies.NY Koen Group, founded by Ukrainian
businessman Naum Koen, said in a statement that is is “excited about the
potential purchase of Israir and the opportunities this
presents.”Describing Israir as the country’s third-largest airline, the
statement said “the company has built a great reputation for itself over
the years, and NY Koen Group looks forward to inheriting the Israir
brand and [the] legacy that comes with it.”NY Koen Group said it would
draw on experience from its subsidiary Aero Private Jet, which has been
operating since 2003 and “has access to over 7,000 planes and 4,000
airports.”“Israir stands to gain a great deal should they succeed in
purchasing the company,” the statement said.Screen capture from video of

personal managers will help you plan your flights and all the
accompanying services,” Koen said in the statement.The Ukrainian Koen
has ties with the Chabad community in the UAE and speaks Hebrew.The
Globes business website reported Tuesday that the auction for Israir
closes on November 8. So far, the only bid to buy the airline was made
by Israeli businessmen Rami Levy and Shalom Haim, who offered NIS 70
million.Sources told Globes that investment companies in Israel and
abroad have shown an interest in purchasing the airline, with some
already contacting senior management.There has been a flurry of interest
among UAE companies in Israel after the two countries last month signed
an agreement to normalize relations. The so-called Abraham Accords,
signed at a White House ceremony, also normalized relations between
Israel and Bahrain.Israir had announced in September that it would begin
direct flights to from Tel Aviv to Dubai but the venture has been
delayed until January due to the coronavirus pandemic, an Israeli
official said Tuesday.US President Donald Trump, center, with (from

Weight,
weight: Western wall dig uncovers flubbed 2,700-year-old 2-shekel
stone-23-gram limestone weight displays ‘very rare’ — and perhaps
ignorant — craftsmanship by local who was likely unfamiliar with
Egyptian style used at the time-By Amanda Borschel-Dan-13 October 2020,
2:27 pm
A uniquely inscribed 2,700-year-old limestone two shekel
weight recently discovered in earth excavated near the Western Wall in
Jerusalem is a “very rare” example — of poor craftsmanship. The weight’s
inscription, said excavation co-director Dr. Barak Monnickendam-Givon,
indicates the craftsman was “not familiar with the international symbol”
for such stones, and so instead incised “something close enough.”During
the First Temple period, the coin-sized, 23-gram round stone was part
of a precise set of internationally recognized weights and measures
imported from Egypt that were used in the Land of Israel for both temple
worship and the marketplace.The Egyptian weight system was based on
units of eight, as opposed to the more known decimal system, which is
base-10, that appears often in the Bible, Monnickendam-Givon told The
Times of Israel. During the Iron Age, the Egyptian weight system was
used in international commerce, and its implementation in the Land of
Israel is an indication that the fledgling monarchy saw itself as an
international player.The weight was found in dirt from Israel
Antiquities Authority archaeologists Monnickendam-Givon and Tehillah
Lieberman’s ongoing excavations under the Western Wall Heritage
Foundation’s headquarters at Beit Strauss, directly alongside
subterranean portions of the Western Wall.Much like the weight stones
already discovered in excavations in Israel since the 1950s, the smooth
round stone discovered during wet sifting of the excavated earth from
the near Western Wall is incised with the Egyptian symbol resembling a
Greek gamma (?). The Egyptian symbol was used in the First Temple period
to represent abbreviated unit “shekel,” according to an IAA press
release, and next to the large shekel symbol, two parallel lines were
incised to indicate the double mass value, or two shekels.The

Antiquities Authority)-While hundreds of two-shekel weight stones have
been uncovered in excavations in and near ancient Jerusalem, this
example is “very rare,” Monnickendam-Givon told The Times of Israel. It
is the first uncovered during this current excavation and points to a
“very local manufacture,” he said: The craftsman was apparently ignorant
of the proper Egyptian symbol generally used to mark these stones.“In
most of the weights, the [shekel] symbol is rounded. In ours, it is
triangle,” said Monnickendam-Givon.“Perhaps one of the reasons is that
whoever incised it wasn’t familiar with the exact original form, so he
made a ‘lookalike,'” said Monnickendam-Givon.A set of four inscribed
weights from the First Temple shekel weight system found in the 1963
Ophel excavations under Kathleen Kenyon, which are today displayed in
the Louvre. (Amanda Borschel-Dan/ToI)-While the inscription of the
Egyptian symbol is dubiously done, the weight of the stone was precise.
Single shekel stones found in archaeological digs show they weigh an
average of 11.5 grams. “Thus a double shekel should weigh 23 grams –
exactly as this weight does,” said the archaeologists in the press
release.“The accuracy of the weight attests to advanced technological
skills as well as to the weight given to precise trade and commerce in
ancient Jerusalem. Coins were not yet in use during this period,
therefore accuracy of the weights played a significant role in
business,” said the archaeologists.Dr. Barak Monnickendam-Givon at the
excavations under Beit Straus in Jerusalem’s Old City, near the Western
Wall, May 2020. (Yaniv Berman/Israel Antiquities Authority)-The First
Temple period predated the use of coins. Instead, the shekel system of
weights was used to indicate to marketplace vendors and their clients
the relative worth of their items“A woman in the market used it to buy
her spices and food,” said Monnickendam-Givon.Another common use of the
shekel weight system was for tax collection for Temple upkeep through a
per capita half-shekel tax, which has biblical roots in Exodus 30:12:
“When you take the census of the people of Israel, then each shall give a
ransom for his soul to the Lord when you number them … half a
shekel.”The practice of the half-shekel tax continued through the Second
Temple period — by which time dedicated coins were in use — and is
recorded in the New Testament in the Book of Matthew. In 2008 a shekel
of Tyre, which researchers believe Jesus and Peter used to pay the
Temple head tax, was discovered in the City of David. Only a handful of
others have been discovered, despite the yearly tax.Illustrative: The
shekel unit (around 11.3 g) is marked by the symbol ? (Courtesy of the
Israel Antiquities Authority, photograph: Yael Yolovich)-During the
First Temple period and later, say Monnickendam-Givon and Lieberman in
the press release, the site adjacent to the Western Wall where the
two-shekel weight was discovered was a bustling place. And just like
coins are easily lost, so too with this round weight measure.“Year-round
and especially during the times of pilgrimage, the area at the foot of
the Temple Mount was sure to be busy. Locals and pilgrims would have
traded for sacrifices and offerings as well as for food, souvenirs and
other commodities. A weight such as the one discovered would have been
used to measure accurate amounts of products at the market,” they said.

British firm under fire over bulldozers used to
demolish Palestinian homes-Sale may have been in breach of OECD
guidelines, UK government body says; the company, JCB, can challenge
ruling or enter into mediation with rights activists-By TOI staff-oct
13,20-Today, 5:39 pm
The sale of British heavy machinery that was
used by the Israeli army to demolish Palestinian structures in the West
Bank may have been in breach of OECD guidelines, a UK government body
said Monday.A complaint had been lodged against the company, JCB, by the
Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights organization in December 2019,
using a UK government complaints system that was created to allow
individuals and groups to challenge multinationals seen not to be
keeping to the standards set by the OECD, The Guardian
reported.According to those guidelines, multinationals must “seek ways
to prevent or mitigate adverse human rights impacts that are directly
linked to their business operations, products or services by a business
relationship, even if they do not contribute to those impacts.”Israel
says the demolitions target illegally built units and the homes of
suspected terrorists as well as structures used to attack Israeli
forces.An April 2019 UN study said that building permits for
Palestinians in the West Bank are “virtually impossible” to obtain and
the result is a chronic housing shortage.A bulldozer demolishes a
Palestinian house built without permission in East Jerusalem, February
13, 2012 (Sliman Khader/Flash90)-The National Contact Point, part of the
British Foreign Office, announced on Monday that it believed JCB must
account for the case, adding that the claims were “material and
substantiated.”The heavy machinery company had rebutted the claim,
saying that not only was it not responsible for the way the equipment
was used after its sale, but that it had also been used for positive
purposes such as the building of hospitals, roads and schools. There
were no further details given on the location of those infrastructure
projects.According to The Guardian, JCB said it sold the equipment to
Comasco, a third-party distributor in Israel, and has no responsibility
over what was later done with the machinery.JCB, which has donated
millions of pounds to the Conservative Party and is chaired by Tory peer
Anthony Bamford, can challenge the ruling or enter into a mediation
process with Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights.“JCB’s apparent
failure to address the material and prolific use of its products in
demolition and displacement incidents that cruelly impacts Palestinian
families, and also its use in settlement-related construction which
creates pervasive human rights violations, must cease immediately,”
Tareq Shrourou, director of Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights, told
The Guardian.“We look forward to constructively engaging with JCB and
expect it will do the right thing by complying with its human rights
responsibilities,” Shrourou said.JCB is not the only heavy machinery
firm to face questions over the use of its equipment by Israel.Earlier
this year, more than 60 Democrats in the US House of Representatives
pushed the Trump administration to pressure Israel over its use of
American-made equipment to demolish Palestinian homes. It’s not clear
whether Israel currently uses US equipment in the home demolitions but
in the past it has used Caterpillar land moving equipment, making the
company a prominent target for the Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment
(BDS) movement.
ToI investigates-Promise of hydrogen-fueled
future lights a fire under Israeli innovators-While Europe and the Far
East invest, Israeli tech is researching and developing. Could the
Start-Up Nation pull off another Mobileys-By Sue Surkes-oct 13,20-Today,
1:36 pm
During the Exodus from Egypt, God split the sea to save
the Israelites. Several millennia later, many in Israel increasingly
view repeating the miracle — but on the molecular level — as the key to
helping save the rest of the planet.Around the world, the promise of
hydrogen power, harvested by separating and reuniting the elements that
make up water, is sparking the next revolution in clean energy.The
technology is still in its infancy, but both the government and private
sector are pumping money into developing ways to make hydrogen use more
powerful, efficient and cost effective.The Far East, Europe and parts of
the US are investing billions into creating a hydrogen infrastructure
that will power trucking, heavy industry and even homes.Tiny Israel
neither builds vehicles nor has much heavy industry. Furthermore, the
Energy Ministry is focused on replacing coal with less-polluting natural
gas and on shoring up the infrastructure needed to reach its target of
generating 30 percent of the nation’s energy through renewable sources,
mainly solar, by 2030.Illustrative: Solar panels in the desert near
Eilat, Israel. (Moshe Shai/FLASH90)-But big overseas companies have
snapped up many Israeli innovations. The biggest was in 2017, when the
US giant Intel Corp. bought Mobileye, a Jerusalem-based developer of
advanced vision and driver assistance systems, for $15.3 billion to help
position it as a leading technology player in the fast-growing
self-driving car market.Could the Start-Up Nation pull it off again with
a piece of genius tech for the hydrogen economy.Cleaner and safer than
any fossil fuel-Just one kilogram of hydrogen supplies as much energy as
7.4 liters (two gallons) of gasoline.It can be stored, can be
transported over large distances, is safer than fossil fuels, and is
totally clean. Its only waste product is water.As it can be produced
wherever there is water and a source of electricity, it can offer some
energy independence for countries otherwise dependent on powers that
produce coal, oil and natural gas.Hydrogen has to be manufactured,
because it occurs naturally on earth only joined together with other
elements. These include oxygen, which combines with hydrogen to form
water, and carbon, which joins with hydrogen to make the hydrocarbons in
fossil fuels.To date, hydrogen has been manufactured worldwide to
produce ammonia for fertilizers, as well as lighter oils such as diesel
and jet fuel from petroleum. NASA and the Russian space program have
been using hydrogen in their rocket fuel for decades.NASA moves a
massive liquid hydrogen tank to Huntsville, Alabama, for testing as part
of plans to eventually return to the moon, December 14, 2018. (Rebecca
Santana, for AP)-But the traditional processes used are polluting,
inefficient and costly.Today, as the urgent need to reduce carbon
emissions sinks in and as fines for C02 emissions rise in Europe and
elsewhere, the race is on to develop hydrogen as a clean, efficient,
cost-effective alternative.Fuel cells vs. batteries-Almost 70 million
metric tons of hydrogen are produced annually. This is expected to grow
tenfold over the next 30 years as Asian countries such as China, Japan
and South Korea and European ones such as Germany and France push ahead
to create a hydrogen economy.Electric batteries — which Elon Musk, CEO
of the electric car company Tesla, believes are the way of the future —
are presently more efficient than hydrogen power, which is why Israel
will use them in the coming decade to store renewable energy.This April
26, 2020, photograph shows a long row of 2020 Model 3 sedans at a Tesla
dealership in Littleton, Colorado. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski)-But they
are still expensive, bulky and not suited to large, long-distance
vehicles because of the space they take up and the need to stop for
hours to recharge so for this sort of need hydrogen is being explored as
an alternative. (Pursuing a different direction, an Israeli company
called ElectReon is pioneering the laying of subterranean cables that
can charge vehicles as they drive along).Hydrogen research is focusing
on electrolyzers and fuel cell.Fuel cells are pieces of equipment within
which electrolyzers use electricity to break water into hydrogen and
oxygen. To date the electric current used in electrolysis has been
supplied by fossil fuels, but these are being replaced with cheaper,
less polluting, renewable sources such as solar energy.A CFY Fuel Cell
Stack during the opening of one of the largest battery research
institutes in Germany, the ‘Battery Innovation and Technology Center’
(BITC) of the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems,
IKTS, in Arnstadt, Germany, July 10, 2020. (AP Photo/Jens Meyer)-When
power is needed, to drive a car, for example, the hydrogen and oxygen
are reunited within the fuel cell via a catalyst which sparks an
electrochemical reaction between the two that creates energy.Fuel cell
systems are clean and quiet, and do not need to be recharged like
batteries, but go on producing electricity for as long as hydrogen is
available.They can achieve an energy density that is 10 times higher
than some of the market’s best batteries, meaning they can last ten
times longer or enable a vehicle to drive the same distance while
leaving a far lower carbon footprint.But there are still serious
obstacles to overcome to make the technology cost effective. Platinum,
used in many catalyzers, for example, can make fuel cells more expensive
to produce than drilling, transporting and refining fossil fuels. Fuel
cells also need to become more robust.A senior Energy Ministry official
told The Times of Israel, “We do see a place for hydrogen in the future,
but at present it is still expensive and not economically worthwhile
for most applications.”He went on, “At the moment, storage via hydrogen
is less than 50% efficient and batteries do the job better. Hydrogen is
still not ready for full commercial deployment, but we and others are
investing in it so that it will become so.”Israel’s Fuel Cell
Consortium-Lior Elbaz, an Israeli chemical engineer and associate
professor at Bar-Ilan University, near Tel Aviv, is currently a visiting
scientist for the second time at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in
New Mexico. Best known for developing the US atomic bomb, the lab is
today leading research on fuel cells.After his first stint there for
postdoctoral research, Elbaz returned to Israel and persuaded the Prime
Minister’s Office (which coordinates the inter-ministerial Fuel Choices
and Smart Mobility Initiative) to let him bring some of the best minds
from all of Israel’s universities together under a single Fuel Cells
Consortium. Today, 12 researchers from across the country are
cooperating on projects to improve fuel cell durability and power and to
cut their costs.Lior Elbaz, associate professor at Bar Ilan University
and head of the Israeli Fuel Cells Consortium. Courtesy, (Prof
Elbaz)-Elbaz’s own laboratory at Bar-Ilan University, for example, has
developed solar-energy-driven fuel cells that will hopefully be on the
market for home power within the next three to five years. Elbaz says
that they last three to four times longer than market competitors and
have a carbon footprint that is four to five times smaller. The system
will enable a house to become energy self-sufficient and to channel
excess power into the national grid.With support from the Israel
Innovation Authority and the Defense Ministry’s research arm, the 12
researchers are now ready to put ideas into practice by creating an
industrial-academic consortium with two of the leading Israeli fuel cell

separate innovation, not connected to the Fuel Cell Consortium,
researchers at the Grand Technion Energy Program at the Technion –
Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, in northern Israel, have
focused on electrolysis, the process that drives the chemical reaction,
pioneering a method that separates hydrogen from oxygen in several
steps in a technique that uses electricity more efficiently.From Right:

(Courtesy, the Technion)-According to Prof. Gideon Grader, former dean
of the Technion’s Chemical Engineering Department, doing so will improve
the efficiency of electrolysis from around 70%- 75% today toward 95%
and halve the capital investment needed.The scientists behind this
advance — Prof. Grader, Prof. Avner Rothschild of the Materials Science
and Engineering Department, Hen Dotan and Avigail Landman (a doctoral
student when the research was being done), have since joined up with
some of the business brains behind the popular apps Viber, Juno and
iMesh, among them Talmon Marco, to create H2PRO for the commercial
development of the product.The South Korean car manufacturer Hyundai and
the massive Japanese business group, Sumitomo, have already bought in.
Harnessing plants-One of the most intriguing and unusual techniques for
creating hydrogen has come from research being carried out by Prof.
Iftach Yacoby of Tel Aviv University in collaboration with Prof. Kevin
Redding of the University of Arizona and students Andrey Kanygin and
Yuval Milrad.Prof. Iftach Yacoby of Tel Aviv University, who is

for electricity. (Courtesy, Iftach Yacoby)In what sounds like science
fiction, the team has successfully used a plant to generate electricity
and create hydrogen, as reported earlier this year in the journal Energy
and Environmental Science.“Every living green thing is a chemical
factory,” Yacoby told The Times of Israel. “Just like solar panels,
plants and algae use chlorophyll to take the sun’s power and change it
into an electrical current.”The team’s breakthrough has been to pinpoint
the source of that electrical current in the cells of micro algae, and
then to attach to that source, via genetic modification, the enzyme
hydrogenaze. Thus equipped, the algae have started to produce hydrogen
in a process that is totally sustainable and clean.Prof. Iftach Yacoby

the capacity of plants to generate electricity, June 11, 2020. (JACK
GUEZ / AFP)-Yacoby said, “Our most optimistic assessment is that
hydrogen produced by plants will [one day] be equal in economic value to
grain and that these plants will become as important for our energy
security as grain [such as wheat] is for our food security.”Storing
hydrogen-Developing hydrogen-based storage for sustainable energy
harnessed from sources such as the sun could be a key to resolving one
of the biggest problems of renewable energy — that it is not provided
when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing.At present, the
energy requirements for hydrogen storage are very costly. High pressure
tanks are needed to compress the volume of hydrogen as a gas. As the gas
only turns to liquid at -252.9°C (-423°F), storing and transporting it
as liquid (as does the new Mercedes-Benz GEnH2 heavy truck announced
last month) means energy intensive cooling systems and sophisticated
insulation.Israeli company GenCell, whose staff includes many veterans
of the Apollo and Mir space projects, has developed a way of using
hydrogen by storing it in ammonia for off-grid and backup power that can
be used across a range of markets. Ammonia comprises hydrogen and
nitrogen. When the hydrogen is needed, it is separated off from the
nitrogen, which safely evaporates into the air, and used by the
company’s fuel cell generator to create electricity.The GenCell A5
off-grid power solution can run 24×7 for an entire year on a single
12-ton tank of ammonia and can be easily deployed at any rural telecom
base station. (Courtesy)-But ammonia also needs pressure to keep it in
liquid form.Prof David Milstein of the Weizmann Institute. (YouTube

by Israel Prize laureate Prof. David Milstein has found a solution for
hydrogen storage that requires no pressure, uses commonly available
organic liquids such as ethylene glycol (also known as antifreeze) and
employs a much cheaper metal in the catalyzer than platinum. The liquids
can also be regenerated by the addition of hydrogen gas and can be
stored in this form indefinitely under ambient conditions. Proof of
concept is complete and future plans are to turn the scientific
development into a technological reality for hydrogen storage,
generation and regeneration.Israel and the hydrogen market-On a
commercial level, Israel has one water-splitting company, H2PRO, and two
fuel cell companies — GenCell and PO-CellTech, the latter a company of
Elbit Systems. GenCell, for example, is already supplying backup fuel
cells to Mexico City’s underground transportation system.All the main
Israeli fuel companies are looking to a hydrogen future. Sonol plans to
set up the first hydrogen refueling station within the next three years.
Paz is investing in GenCell, alongside the electronic component
manufacturing giant TDK and Israeli entrepreneur Benny Lamda. The Bazan
Oil Refineries in the Haifa Bay, whose days there appear to be numbered,
has established an innovation center, has shares in H2PRO and is
looking to become a serious actor in the hydrogen market. Even the
state-owned company Petroleum & Energy Infrastructures Ltd. (PEI),
which is responsible for Israel’s fuel infrastructure, is working on a
strategy for large-scale hydrogen storage.A helping hand from
government-Already in 2011, Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office launched
the Fuel Choices Initiative, an umbrella body that brings ministries,
companies and academics together and coordinates all aspects of research
and academic and commercial development in alternatives to fossil
fuels.The Initiative includes the Israel National Research Center for
Electrochemical Propulsion (INREP), which funds R&D, from academic
research through to pilot and demonstration projects. Bringing
scientists together from all Israel’s universities, the center aims to
advance research in electric vehicles, batteries, and fuel cell
technology for transportation. The Innovation Authority supports Israeli
investors and technology companies working in the field.The Eviation

Tel Aviv on November 3, 2016. (Melanie Lidman/Times of Israel)-The
government also helped to fund the creation of the Israeli Center for
Research Excellence (ICORE). An offshoot, the solar fuel ICORE led by
Prof. Gideon Grader, brought 40 researchers together from several of the
top academic institutions in the country, some of them specialists in
hydrogen technology.And the Energy Ministry funds projects, among them
Sonol’s planned hydrogen fuel station, and initiatives of PO-CellTech,
Elbit and GenCell.“I think we’ll have hydrogen refueling stations by
2030,” predicted Grader. “There’s already talk about regulation. But
we’ll see it in other places first, mainly the Far East. In Israel,
things move slowly.”
Nuclear arms talks spiral into confusion as
Russia rejects US 'delusion'[The Guardian]-Julian Borger in
Washington-October 13, 2020
US-Russian arms control talks have
sunk into confusion after the top American negotiator claimed there was
“an agreement in principle” between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, a
claim Moscow quickly rejected as a “delusion”.Marshall Billingslea, the
US special envoy for arms control, said he had flown to Helsinki on
Monday to meet the Russian deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, on
the understanding that there could be an imminent breakthrough in
discussions on whether to extend the 2010 New Start treaty, which limits
the number of deployed strategic warheads on either side, and which
expires in February.“We believe that there is an agreement in principle
at the highest levels of our two governments. That’s why I cut short my
trip to Asia and made a beeline for Helsinki when the Russians called
and wanted to sit down,” Billingslea told a Washington thinktank, in an
apparent suggestion that there had been an informal verbal agreement
between Trump and Putin.He added the US condition for extension would be
a verified freeze on the complete arsenals of both countries, including
non-strategic (short-range or “tactical”) warheads.That condition was
quickly and emphatically rejected by Moscow. The foreign ministry was
quoted by the RIA Novosti agency as calling Billingslea’s claim a
“delusion” and a “fraud”. Ryabkov said a freeze was “unacceptable”
adding that Moscow would not approve a New Start treaty extension before
the US election on 3 November.“If the Americans need to report to their
superiors something about which they allegedly agreed with the Russian
Federation before their elections, then they will not get it,” Ryabkov
said.In his remarks Billingslea suggested that Ryabkov might be out of
touch with the Russian’s leader’s wishes.“I am hopeful that that sort of
gentleman’s agreement – that arrangement that we believe has been
reached at the highest levels – will ultimately need to percolate down
through their system so that my counterpart hopefully will be authorized
to negotiate,” he told the Heritage Foundation. “We’re ready to strike
this deal. We could strike it tomorrow, in fact, but Moscow’s going to
have to show the political will to do so as football: is Trump
blundering to arms control chaos? The US had previously insisted that
China be included in any future arms control negotiations rather than
extending the bilateral arrangements in New Start, but Billingslea has
dropped that demand in recent weeks, accepting that trilateral talks
could be arranged later.Alexandra Bell, a former state department
official and now senior policy director at the Center for Arms Control
and Non-Proliferation, said the pre-election urgency followed “literally
months of the Trump administration saying there’s plenty of time to do
this – there’s no rush”.The Trump administration has been keen to
showcase foreign policy achievements before the election, but over the
past four years, it has pulled out of three arms control agreements and
signed none.James Acton, a nuclear policy expert at the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace, said Russia was unlikely to agree to a
freeze that affected its non-strategic warheads, a category in which it
has a big advantage over the US and Nato.“Russia is not going to agree
to something that addresses the US’s biggest concern on Russia and get
nothing in return,” Acton said. “If there is a deal to be made, we’re
going to have to give something to the Russians in return. And most of
us think that the price is probably something to do with ballistic
missile defense.”Senior parliamentarians from across Europe wrote to
their US counterparts on Tuesday urging them to support a New Start
extension.In the letter, organised by the European Leadership Network,
the MPs from 19 countries said: “As officials who strive to protect the
health and security of millions of European citizens, we feel distressed
by the possibility that New Start may lapse in less than six months.”

Israeli-US delegation to
visit Bahrain on second ‘historic’ flight to ready pact-Group will also
fly to UAE after talks in Manama, after which Emirati delegation is
expected to visit Israel for first time, according to reports-By Raphael
Ahren and TOI staff-13 October 2020, 12:09 pm
A joint US-Israel
delegation is planning a trip to Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates
early next week to continue working on implementing normalization
agreements with Israel signed in Washington last month.The delegation is
expected to fly from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport to Manama on Sunday
in what would be the first-ever commercial nonstop flight from Israel to
the Gulf kingdom.According to several officials involved in the
preparations for the trip, the US delegation will be headed by Treasury
Secretary Steven Mnuchin, and include the White House’s special envoy to
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict Avi Berkowitz.The Israeli delegation
will reportedly be headed by Foreign Ministry director general Alon
Ushpiz.After a day of meetings to prepare for the formal signing of the
peace treaty with Bahrain, the delegation will hop to nearby Abu Dhabi
for another round of talks between Israeli and Emirati officials about
bilateral agreements in a wide range of areas, including trade, health
and the reciprocal opening of embassies.Shortly after the Israeli
delegation returns to Tel Aviv, a senior delegation from the UAE will
arrive in the city as well for additional talks.This delegation will
reportedly be headed by two senior members of the Emirati cabinet and
would mark the first time UAE ministers visit the Jewish state publicly
since the two countries announced the normalization of ties on August
13.The joint US-Israeli delegation to Manama and Abu Dhabi was first
reported by Axios. According to the website, the trip is modeled on the
historic August 31 trip to the UAE headed by National Security Adviser
Meir Ben-Shabbat and US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Jared
Kushner.The site quoted Israeli officials as saying that the Bahraini
government “asked to receive the same delegation as the UAE.”Ushpiz and
Berkowitz were both on the mostly symbolic flight from Israel to the UAE
to celebrate the deal and kick off talks publicly.National Security
Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat elbow bumps with an Emirati official ahead of

September 1, 2020. (Nir Elias/Pool/AFP)-According to Axios, the Israeli
delegation will include senior officials from various ministries who
will launch negotiations with their Bahraini counterparts on bilateral
agreements. The delegation’s ultimate goal is to prepare the draft for
an Israeli-Bahrain peace treaty similar to the one signed with the UAE
on September 15 at the White House.At the September 15 White House
ceremony, Israel and Bahrain signed a “Declaration of Peace” in which
both countries “agreed to establish full diplomatic relations,” but a
formal treaty is still being worked out.Jerusalem and Manama have
approved a “series of steps initiating this new chapter in their
relations,” including the desire to reach bilateral agreements in
various fields and the reciprocal opening of embassies.On Monday,
Israel’s cabinet gave the go-ahead for the signing of a formal treaty
with the UAE, sending it to the Knesset for a full vote on
Thursday.Ahead of the vote, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office
said that the premier and UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan
spoke over the weekend and agreed to meet “soon,” according to a readout
of their conversation.(L-R) UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed

Emirates recognize Israel, in Washington, DC, September 15, 2020. (SAUL
LOEB / AFP)-The conversation was the first between the two since the
agreement to normalize ties between the states was announced on August
13.Bahrain announced that it would form ties with Israel in September,
in a move seen as largely directed by Saudi Arabia as a tacit sign of
approval for normalization with Israel.US and Israeli officials say
other Arab states are also expected to announce plans to normalize
ties.Emirati officials have started the process of approving and
ratifying the agreement with Israel, but it is unclear when it will
conclude.Once the Knesset approves the treaty and Abu Dhabi sends a
diplomatic note to Jerusalem saying that the process of ratifying the
agreement has been completed, the treaty will enter into force for both
sides and formal diplomatic relations between Israel and the UAE will
have been established.
Palestinian Authority PM: God help us if
Trump reelected-Mohammad Shtayyeh says ‘four years have been really
wasted’ under US president, whom the PA is boycotting; hopes things will
improve under a Biden presidency-By AP and TOI staff-oct 13,20-Today,
5:07 pm
RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian Authority prime
minister has said it will be disastrous for his people and the world at
large if US President Donald Trump wins re-election next month.Speaking
remotely to European lawmakers, PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said
the last four years of the Trump administration have greatly harmed the
Palestinians.“If we are going to live another four years with President
Trump, God help us… and the whole world,” Shtayyeh said Monday. The
comments were posted on his Facebook page.The Palestinians have
traditionally refrained from taking an explicit public position in
American presidential elections, but the PA has halted all contacts with
the Trump administration since 2017. Shtayyeh’s comments reflected the
sense of exasperation on the Palestinian side after a series of US moves
in support of Israel that have left them weakened and isolated.The
Palestinians severed ties with Trump after he recognized Jerusalem as
Israel’s capital in late 2017 and subsequently moved the United States
Embassy to the city. Trump has also cut off hundreds of millions of
dollars of American aid to the Palestinians, shut the Palestinian
diplomatic offices in Washington and issued a Middle East plan this year
seen as largely favoring Israel. The Palestinians preemptively rejected
the plan, which envisions some 30 percent of the West Bank coming under
Israeli sovereignty, and the Palestinians offered conditional statehood
in the remaining areas, with some additional land from within today’s
Israel and a small presence in east Jerusalem.“Four years have been
really wasted,” Shtayyeh said of Trump’s time in office. “We were
waiting for the ultimate deal and everyone was hoping that the ultimate
deal would really be a deal and be ultimate. Unfortunately it has not
been.”Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas (L) listens as US
President Donald Trump speaks to the press before a meeting at New
York’s Palace Hotel during the 72nd UN General Assembly on September 21,
2017. (AFP Photo/Brendan Smialowski)-The Trump administration also has
brokered agreements between two Arab countries, the United Arab Emirates
and Bahrain, to establish full diplomatic relations with Israel and
promised that other Arab nations will follow suit. These deals have
undercut the Palestinian insistence and widespread Arab consensus that
further recognition of Israel, with which Egypt and Jordan have made
peace, should only come in return for an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal —
a rare source of leverage for the Palestinians.Shtayyeh expressed hope
that a victory by the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would
raise prospects for a peace deal.“If things are going to change in the
United States I think this will reflect itself directly on the
Palestinian-Israeli relationship,” he said. “And it will reflect itself
also on the bilateral Palestinian-American relationship.”
Jerusalem
adamant: This is not the start of normalization-Israel lowers
expectations ahead of ‘historic’ maritime talks with Lebanon-Wednesday’s
negotiations aimed only at solving minor border dispute to allow
offshore drilling in disputed areas, Jerusalem stresses; senior official
expects results within months-By Raphael Ahren-oct 13,20-Today, 4:16 pm
Officials
in Jerusalem this week downplayed the importance of rare maritime
borders negotiations between Israel and Lebanon, stressing that the
US-brokered talks will focus exclusively on a relatively minor dispute
on the exact delineation of each other’s territorial waters to promote
the development of future oil drillings.The Israeli officials emphasized
that the talks, scheduled to start Wednesday morning on a United
Nations base on the Lebanese side of the border, should by no means be
mistaken as the beginning of a normalization process similar to those
with the United Arab Emirates or Bahrain.The talks will see the Lebanese
delegation speaking through UN and US officials to the Israelis.
Lebanese negotiators do not intend to speak directly with their Israeli
counterparts even though the sides will sit in the same room, it was
reported last week.US officials have said talks between Israel and
Lebanon on the land border will be held on a “separate
track.”Expectations regarding the negotiations “need to be realistic,”
Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said Tuesday. “We’re not talking about
peace talks or negotiations over normalization, but rather about the
attempt to solve a technical-economic problem that for a decade has been
preventing us from developing natural resources in the sea for the
benefit of the people of the region.The talks aim to solve “a
well-defined and limited problem regarding those territorial waters,”
Steinitz added.The talks have only one goal: allowing both countries to
take advantage of the treasures hidden in the sea — natural gas — in
hitherto disputed areas, he said.On Tuesday, a senior official in the
Energy Ministry said that the disagreement between Jerusalem and Beirut
was small and expressed cautious optimism about settling it
quickly.Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz at a conference in Tel Aviv on
February 27, 2019. (Flash90)-“If the other side comes to the talks with a
pragmatic approach, I hope that we can solve the dispute and move
forward within a short period of time — weeks, months,” the official
told diplomatic reporters in a briefing, speaking on condition of
anonymity.“Of course, if the other sides comes with the intention to
reach another victory over the ‘Zionist enemy,’ they can continue to
celebrate victories like they did for the last 10 years,” he added
ironically, adding that the current Israeli-Lebanese argument about the
exact delineation of the maritime borders has been ongoing for a
decade.“The issue is important to us. It’s even more important to the
other side,” the official added. “We already have [natural] gas
reservoirs that provide for our local needs. We no longer import crude
oil and gas and diesel fuel for our power stations. Almost everything is
natural gas.”In fact, Israel is already exporting gas to Jordan and
Egypt, the official added. Lebanon, on the other hand, is buying diesel
fuel and kerosene from abroad for billions of dollars every year for its
power stations. It was therefore in Beirut’s interest to come to the
talks with a pragmatic attitude lest another decade go by before the two
sides can start exploring additional natural oil reserves in the area,
the official said.Wednesday’s talks come as Lebanon is going through its
worst economic and financial crisis in decades, compounded by a massive
deadly blast at Beirut’s port in August. Lebanon is hoping that oil and
natural gas discoveries in its territorial waters will help it pay back
its enormous debt.Lebanon began offshore drilling earlier this year and
is expected to start drilling for gas in the disputed area with Israel
in the coming months.“We’re coming to this with a pragmatic-realistic
approach,” the Israeli official said. “Our goal is very focused, we’re
not talking about our disputes on the land border, certainly not about
normalization. Our sole aim is to solve a disagreement about territorial
waters that for the last 10 years has been a stumbling block for the
development of natural resources in our area.”That’s also why the Energy
Ministry and not the Foreign Ministry has been tasked with heading the
negotiations, he said.Lebanese President Michel Aoun during an address
to the nation at the presidential palace, in Baabda, east of Beirut,
Lebanon, November 21, 2019.Lebanese President Michel Aoun also appeared
to rule out any chance that the talks could lead to normalization with
Israel.Partially due to memories of a 1982 Israeli invasion and the
subsequent 15-year occupation of southern Lebanon, Beirut has long taken
a harsh stance on ties with Israel and banned its citizens from
communicating with Israelis.“President Aoun stressed that these
negotiations are technical and specific to the demarcation of maritime
borders, and that discussions should be limited to this specific issue,”
the official Lebanese National News Agency reported Tuesday, after the
Aoun had met with his delegation to the talks.“President Aoun expressed
his hope that an equitable solution safeguarding the sovereign rights of
the Lebanese people will be reached,” Aoun’s press office said in a
statement.The talks were announced on October 1 by US Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo, who hailed them as “historic.”That both Jerusalem and
Beirut agreed to sit down for negotiations has the potential to “yield
greater stability, security, and prosperity for Lebanese and Israeli
citizens alike,” he said at the time. “Today’s announcement is a vital
step forward that serves the interests of Lebanon and Israel, of the
region, and of the United States.UN peacekeepers parade during a

Hussein)-Wednesday’s meeting in the southern Lebanese town of Naqoura,
about 200 meters from the border, marks the first time in more than 30
years “since any meaningful negotiations took place between Lebanon and
Israel,” according to Alan Baker, a former legal adviser of Israel’s
Foreign Ministry who heads the Institute for Contemporary Affairs at the
Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.“The negotiations are intended to
cover a disputed 330-square miles area (860-square-kilometers)
straddling the maritime border area between them in the Eastern
Mediterranean, rich with natural-gas fields,” Baker, who participated in
bilateral talks between Israel and Lebanon in 1982-3 and 1991-3, wrote
in a paper for – For a better Lebanon-? -2“Both states claim that the
area concerned is within their own respective ‘exclusive economic zone’
and ‘continental shelf,’ theoretical 200-nautical mile zones off their
coast within which, pursuant to the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the
Sea (UNCLOS), coastal states enjoy exclusive rights to exploit and
benefit from natural resources.”Such resources include fish, gas and
oil, and other mineral deposits in the seabed and body of water adjacent
to its coast, according to Baker, who participated in negotiations over
the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Foreign Ministry’s
behalf.Wednesday’s talks scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. in an open tent
at the headquarters of the UN peacekeeping force in Naqoura.Lebanese

via AP)-US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs David
Schenker will preside over the meeting. He has been shuttling between
Jerusalem and Beirut in recent months in an effort to reach an agreement
where previous administrations have failed.US Ambassador to Algeria
John Desrocher will serve as the US mediator for these negotiations,
which are hosted by UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Jan Kubis.The
“framework agreement to commence discussions on the maritime boundary is
a vital step forward that offers the potential to yield greater
stability, security, and prosperity for Lebanese and Israeli citizens
alike,” the US State Department said in a statement Tuesday.On Monday,
Aoun’s office said the four-member Lebanese delegation will be headed by
air force Brig. Gen. Bassam Yassin. The three other members are navy
Col. Mazen Basbous, Lebanese oil official Wissam Chbat and border expert
Najib Massihi.Udi Adiri (Screen capture: YouTube)-The Israeli
delegation will be headed by Udi Adiri, director-general of the Energy
Ministry. He will be accompanied by Steinitz’s chief of staff Mor
Halutz, as well as Aviv Ayash, the minister’s international adviser.
Deputy National Security Adviser Reuven Azar, the Foreign Ministry’s
Deputy Director-General for the United Nations and International
Organizations Alon Bar, and Brig. Gen. Oren Setter, head of the Israeli
military’s Strategic Division, will also attend the talks.Lebanon’s
Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group said last week that the talks don’t
signify normalization or peace talks with the Jewish state.“Despite all
the talk that has been going around, the negotiating framework deals
with our southern maritime borders and reclaiming our land, so as to
delineate our national sovereignty,” the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc,
Hezbollah’s political wing, said in a statement.“It has absolutely
nothing to do with ‘reconciling’ with the rapacious Zionist enemy, nor
with the normalization that some Arab countries have adopted,” the
terror group added, referring to the recent deals Israel reached with
the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.A line of buoys placed by Israel

force UNIFIL welcomed the announcement of the talks and said in a
statement that it was prepared to “extend to the parties all the support
at its disposal.” The force added that it was also prepared to assist
the sides in solving their land border disputes.Israel and Lebanon still
technically at war? Israel and Lebanon don’t have diplomatic relations
and are often said to be technically still in a state of war.“However,
the complex history of the relations between the two countries would
appear to cast an element of doubt as to whether, indeed, a formal state
of war, with all that implies, exists and is relevant,” Baker, the
former Foreign Ministry legal adviser, wrote.He cited, for instance a
May 1983 agreement in which both parties declared the “termination of
the state of war between them” and formally recognized each other’s
sovereignty and territorial integrity.Alan Baker (courtesy
ambassadoralanbaker.com)“The agreement contained provisions for the
withdrawal of Israeli forces, establishment of a security zone in
southern Lebanon, and security cooperation between the two countries,”
Baker recalled. “Regrettably, and due to Syrian pressure, this agreement
was never allowed to be ratified by the Lebanese parliament and was
formally shelved on March 5, 1984.”During the 1991 Madrid Conference,
more than a dozen rounds of bilateral talks were held between Israel and
Lebanon, Baker went on. “During these negotiations, a draft of a peace
treaty was exchanged between the parties that included all the
components of peace, recognition of sovereignty, good neighborly
relations, diplomatic relations, security coordination, and
normalization.”But once again, Syria pressured Lebanon into terminating
the talks without agreement.Aaron Boxerman and agencies contributed to

UN:
Climate change means more weather disasters every year-Report by World
Meteorological Agency warns number of people in need of humanitarian
relief could rise 50% by 2030-By AP-oct 13,20-Today, 2:55 pm
GENEVA,
Switzerland — In the wake of heat waves, global warming, forest fires,
storms, droughts and a rising number of hurricanes, the UN weather
agency is warning that the number of people who need international
humanitarian help could rise 50 percent by 2030 compared to the 108
million who needed it worldwide in 2018.In a new report released with
partners on Tuesday, the World Meteorological Agency (WMO) said more
disasters attributed to weather are taking place each year.It said over
11,000 disasters have been attributed to weather, climate and phenomena
like tsunamis that are related to water over the last 50 years — causing
2 million deaths and racking up $3.6 trillion worth of economic
costs.In one hopeful development over that period, the average number of
deaths from each separate weather disaster per year has dropped by
one-third, even as the number of such events and the economic costs from
them have both surged.The 2020 State of Climate Services report,
compiled by 16 international agencies and financing institutions, calls
on governments to put more money into early-warning systems that can
improve countries’ ability to prepare for, respond to and mitigate the
impact of such natural disasters.“While COVID-19 generated a large
international health and economic crisis from which it will take years
to recover, it is crucial to remember that climate change will continue
to pose an ongoing and increasing threat to human lives, ecosystems,
economies and societies for centuries to come,“ said WMO
Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.“Recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is
an opportunity to move forward along a more sustainable path towards
resilience and adaptation in the light of anthropogenic climate change,”
he said.
OZONE DEPLETION JUDGEMENT ON THE EARTH DUE TO SIN

26
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and
the light of the sun shall be sevenfold,(7X OR 7-DEGREES HOTTER) as the
light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of
his people,(ISRAEL) and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold,
the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the
burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his
tongue as a devouring fire:
MATTHEW 24:21-22,221 For then shall
be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world
to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should
be shortened,(DAY LIGHT HOURS SHORTENED) there should no flesh be saved:
but for the elect’s sake (ISRAELS SAKE) those days shall be shortened
(Daylight hours shortened)(THE ASTEROID HITS EARTH HERE)

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall
fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9
And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God,
which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him
glory.
