US aims to deliver millions of vaccines within 24 hours of approval-But vaccination campaign in world’s hardest-hit country likely to take longer than initially expected, with 100 million set to get jab by mid or late March-By Ivan Couronne-7 December 2020, 11:14 pm
WASHINGTON (AFP) — Trucks and cargo planes are at the ready to distribute millions of doses of coronavirus vaccine across the United States, a complex task led by a four-star general that will ultimately proceed more slowly than initially expected.US Army General Gus Perna, in charge of logistics for the government’s Operation Warp Speed, has been putting his troops — a mix of soldiers and health experts — through dry runs for weeks, in anticipation of the day when a vaccine is approved.The US Food and Drug Administration is due to grant emergency use approval to the vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, likely soon after December 10 and 17, respectively.The goal: to distribute the first batch of roughly 6.4 million Pfizer vaccine doses in 24 hours to all hospitals and other sites that have ordered it.Military personnel will not deliver the vials themselves — the federal government is paying for the doses and will give orders to private sector companies that will handle the entire operation.The Pfizer vaccine vials are waiting in a factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan.Six trucks will leave the facility each day, filled with containers — each one carrying around 1,000 vials of five vaccine doses — and enough dry ice to maintain them at the required temperature of minus 70 degrees Celsius (minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit).Those trucks will head to airports where FedEx, UPS and other cargo carriers will carry them across the country. Pfizer estimates that 20 planes will transport the vaccine every day.Moderna is sending giant 50-liter batches of its vaccine, made in New Hampshire, to partner Catalent, which will complete the “fill-finish” of the vials in Bloomington, Indiana.Moderna chief Stephane Bancel told AFP last month that the objective is to “load up the trucks and get moving” as soon as the FDA gives the green light.The list of delivery sites (hospitals, clinics, warehouses for partner pharmacies, individual doctors’ offices) has been established by dozens of state and local entities, and sent to Warp Speed HQ.Perna’s job is to distribute as quickly as possible available doses in direct proportion to the population — and make sure that those who get the first dose have a second dose at the ready, three (Pfizer) or four (Moderna) weeks later.“We want to maintain a cadence, a deliberate, planned, coordinated cadence of delivery of vaccine as it becomes available,” Perna said.Back in the spring, the administration of US President Donald Trump had hoped to distribute hundreds of millions of vaccine doses before year’s end.But in the end, the country hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic will only get 40 million doses in December — meaning enough to vaccinate 20 million people.Up until early November, Pfizer was promising it could deliver 100 million doses worldwide by year’s end, but it eventually halved that forecast due to a problem with sourcing ingredients.“On the manufacturing side, it’s turned out to be somewhat more complicated and more difficult than we planned,” Moncef Slaoui, Warp Speed’s chief scientific advisor, admitted on CNN.University of Miami Miller School of Medicine lab tech Sendy Puerto processing blood samples from study participants who volunteered to take part in testing the National Institutes of Health-funded Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in Miami, on September 2, 2020. (AP Photo/Taimy Alvarez, File)-In recent days, predictions have only gotten worse: last week, officials said 100 million people were expected to be vaccinated by the end of February.On Sunday, Slaoui pushed back that timetable to mid or late March.Of course, once the containers of vaccine doses are delivered, the tough task of ensuring they are properly administered is another governmental can of worms.“There is no detailed plan that we’ve seen, anyway, as to how you get the vaccine out of a container into an injection syringe, into somebody’s arm,” President-elect Joe Biden said.The point-by-point details are crucial to the pharmacists, nurses, and other technicians who are going to have to manage the delivery and injection of two, three, and as many as six vaccines next year.The Pfizer vaccine can remain frozen in a container for 30 days — as long as the dry ice is replaced every five days.“They have to now have the muscle memory — to know that this one has to be in the freezer, this one is coming in a container, this one has to go to minus 80, this one has to go to minus 20,” Prashant Yadav, an expert in global health supply chains, told AFP.“That complexity makes it even harder, because we know that standard operating procedures are adhered to better when they get into the muscle memory of the person who’s executing it versus having to read something,” said Yadav, who works at the Center for Global Development.The entire operation will be put to the test in a week or so. On his whiteboard, Perna has written a provisional date for the first deliveries: December 15.
Israeli activist: 'This is de facto annexation on steroids'-Matrix of new highways could pave way for massive settlement growth-Rights groups say expansion of road, tunnel and overpass network pushed by Transportation Ministry sets stage for huge increase in West Bank settler population-By Joseph Krauss-7 December 2020, 6:02 pm
AP — In the coming years, Israelis will be able to commute into Jerusalem and Tel Aviv from settlements deep inside the West Bank via highways, tunnels and overpasses that cut a wide berth around Palestinian towns.Rights groups say the new roads will set the stage for explosive settlement growth, even if the incoming US administration somehow convinces Israel to curb housing construction. The costly infrastructure projects signal that Israel intends to keep large swaths of the territory in any peace deal, and would make it harder to establish a viable Palestinian state.“This is not another hundred housing units there or here,” said Yehuda Shaul, an Israeli activist who has spent months researching and mapping out the new projects. “This is de facto annexation on steroids.”Construction already is underway on a huge tunnel that Shaul says will one day allow residents of Maale Adumim, a settlement town east of Jerusalem, to drive into the city and onward to Tel Aviv without passing through a military checkpoint or even hitting a traffic light.South of Jerusalem, work is underway to expand the main highway leading to the Gush Etzion settlement bloc and settlements farther south, with tunnels and overpasses designed to bypass Palestinian villages and refugee camps.A view of a road in the West Bank, south of Jerusalem, November 29, 2020. (AP Photo/Majdi Mohammed)-Palestinians will be allowed to drive on many of the new roads, but the infrastructure leading into Israel will be of limited use to them because they need permits to cross into the country.Israel captured the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War and has since built a wide network of settlements that house some 400,000 Jewish settlers (nearly 700,000 including Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem, which Israel does not consider settlements). The Palestinians want those territories for a future state and view the settlements as a violation of international law and an obstacle to peace — a position with wide international support.Supporters of settlements view the West Bank and Jerusalem as the historical and biblical heart of Israel, and oppose any future partition of the Holy Land.But most Israelis live and work in the main cities, uncomfortable living deep inside the West Bank, where two-lane roads pass through military checkpoints and Palestinian villages, and where clashes and rock-throwing can erupt at any time.The new roads promise to change all that, transforming currently isolated settlements into affordable suburban communities with safe, easy access to cities and public transportation. Shaul estimates the new infrastructure could facilitate plans for more than 50,000 settler housing units in the West Bank and another 6,000 units in East Jerusalem.“People don’t bring roads, roads bring people,” he said.Shaul is a co-founder of Breaking the Silence, a group of former Israeli soldiers who document alleged human rights abuses by the IDF. In recent months, he has turned his attention to Israeli planning.His findings are based on minutes from several meetings held in recent years by parliamentary subcommittees charged with improving West Bank infrastructure. He also cites a strategic plan presented by Transportation Minister Miri Regev, an outspoken supporter of settlements, to a group of settlement mayors last month.In a statement after the meeting, Regev called it “an exciting day for the settlements and for the State of Israel, which builds and is building in all areas of the homeland.” She said it provided a “holistic vision” for “a future development plan for the region.”The Transportation Ministry did not respond to requests for comment.Oded Revivi, the mayor of the Efrat settlement in the West Bank, who attended the meeting, said the draft plan was “very thorough,” and that the ministry was open to suggestions, “taking into account the needs of both populations, both the Jews and the Arabs.”He said US President Donald Trump’s Mideast plan, which would allow Israel to annex about a third of the West Bank, including all its settlements, had proven that the settlements are not an obstacle to peace. That plan was immediately rejected by the Palestinians and is likely to be scrapped by President-elect Joe Biden, who opposes annexation.Settler leaders at the US Embassy’s Independence Day celebration in Tel Aviv on July 3, 2017.

(Courtesy: Yesha Council)-Alon Cohen Lifshitz, an expert at Bimkom, an Israeli rights group that focuses on urban planning, said the main aim of the road projects is to create a “matrix of control” that ensures the free movement of Israelis while further fragmenting the areas governed by the Palestinian Authority.“Most of the settlers are not [ideological]. They are looking for options to live the dream in affordable housing,” he said. “This is the main obstacle for the expansion of settlements.”The same process unfolded on a much smaller scale more than a decade ago, when Israel opened Route 398, connecting settlements in the southern West Bank to Jerusalem. Informally known as the “Liberman Road,” after former transportation minister Avigdor Liberman, who lives in one of the settlements south of Jerusalem, it reduced the driving time from 40 minutes to 10 minutes. The area’s settler population nearly doubled in the next six years, to about 6,000 people, according to Peace Now, an Israeli anti-settlement watchdog.Many Palestinians view the roads as another kind of barrier erected to separate communities from one another and farmers from their land. They say much of the construction is on land expropriated from farmers, who have little hope of recourse in Israeli courts.“This is a military occupation, so when they take a decision, they impose it by force, without any coordination with the other side, with the owners of the land,” said Mohammed Sabateen, head of the local council in Husan, a Palestinian village south of Jerusalem sandwiched between a growing settlement and one of the new road projects.“These roads are primarily designed for Israelis and settlers, not Palestinians,” he said. The military can also cut off Palestinian access at any time by closing gates at the main access points.A view of a road in the West Bank, November 29, 2020. (AP Photo/Majdi Mohammed)-Israel is also at work on so-called “fabric of life” roads intended to benefit the Palestinians, but Shaul says these are usually aimed at routing them away from settlements. One has been dubbed the “apartheid road” because it runs alongside a road open only to Israelis, and the two are separated by an imposing concrete wall.Biden has vowed to work with Israel and the Palestinians to restart peace talks, without offering much detail. It’s possible he will adopt a similar approach to the Obama administration, which pressed Israel to freeze or curb settlement growth as part of peace efforts that went nowhere.But even if Biden succeeds in convincing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to temporarily curb settlement growth, the road infrastructure would ensure plenty of demand once the pause ended.“The second the freeze is over, this infrastructure will be there to facilitate even greater growth,” said Shaul, who believes that stopping the road projects is key to preserving hope for a two-state solution. “This would be the foundation for the development of settlements for the next 20 years.”
US Supreme Court debates hearing 2 cases on restoring Nazi-era Jewish property-Trump administration supports Germany and Hungary, arguing cases should be heard in countries where crimes took place-By Jessica Gresko-dec 8,20-Today, 5:22 am
WASHINGTON (AP) — The US Supreme Court on Monday struggled with whether to allow two lawsuits stemming from claims of property taken from Jews in Germany and Hungary during the Nazi era to continue in US courts.One case was brought by a group of Hungarian Holocaust survivors. They’re seeking to be compensated for property taken from them and their families as they were forced to board trains to concentration camps.The other case involves the heirs of Jewish art dealers and the 1935 sale of a collection of medieval Christian artwork called the Guelph Treasure. The heirs say the sale of the works, are now said to be worth at least $250 million, was done under pressure.The question for the court in both cases is whether the lawsuits should be allowed to move forward in US courts. Lower courts allowed them to.During nearly three hours of arguments, which the court heard by phone because of the coronavirus pandemic, both conservative and liberal justices seemed concerned about closing US courts to lawsuits like the two before them but also about improperly entangling American courts in foreign policy.“Given the nature of international relations it’s easy to envision cases where it would seem particularly inappropriate for United States courts to get involved in litigation,” Chief Justice John Roberts said at one point. But he went on to ask whether, even if courts weren’t normally involved in such cases, it might still be “appropriate in particularly sensitive international relations cases.”Both cases involve the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. It generally bars foreign sovereigns like Hungary and Germany from being sued in US courts, though there’s an exception for lawsuits involving “property taken in violation of international law.”Germany and Hungary argue that federal judges can apply the principle of “comity” in FSIA cases and decline to hear cases better suited to being resolved in another nation. Several justices, however, suggested that could be problematic.“I mean there are almost 700 district judges. You want every one of them to assess whether a particular lawsuit raises foreign relations concerns?” Justice Samuel Alito said. Justice Neil Gorsuch suggested the approach could produce “bedlam.”The case against Hungary was filed in 2010 by 14 survivors of the Hungarian Holocaust, including some who survived being sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Four of them became US citizens after the war while others became citizens of Canada, Israel and Australia. They’re seeking to have their case become a class action.The second case before the court involves a collection of artworks called the Guelph Treasure, or the Welfenschatz in German. Some 40 pieces of the collection, including reliquaries and crosses, are on display in a state-run museum in Berlin. In that case, three heirs of a group art dealers who once owned the pieces are suing over what they say was the pieces’ forced sale for below market value. The group has been unsuccessful in pressing their claim in Germany and brought a lawsuit in the United States in 2015. Germany and the state-run foundation that owns the collection have said that investigations in Germany found the sale was not forced and also that any dispute should be resolved in Germany.The Trump administration has backed Germany, urging the court to dismiss the case. The administration has also backed Hungary, urging the justices to return the case to a lower court to determine whether American courts should refrain from weighing in on this particular dispute.The cases are Hungary v. Simon, 18-1447, and Germany v. Philipp, 19-351. A decision in both cases is expected before the end of June.
ArchaeologyThe sword ceased from Israel, but Jonathan dwelt at Michmas-Rare Second Temple menorah drawing from Biblical Maccabean site brought to light-Hitherto unpublished 2,000-year-old charcoal menorah, forgotten in archives for 40 years, shores up hypothesis that ancient Michmas was a priestly settlement, study says-By Amanda Borschel-Dan-DEC 8,20-Today, 2:05 am
Just ahead of Hanukkah, a forgotten 2,000-year-old charcoal drawing of the Temple menorah is again seeing the light of day.First uncovered 40 years ago during archaeological surveys at Michmas, a Hasmonean stronghold during the Maccabean Revolt, the drawing was never published by scholars and its documentation was left to gather dust on archive shelves. Newly rediscovered, it is included in a new analysis of all available archaeological evidence from Michmas, and has some researchers convinced that the ancient town was once an elusive priestly agricultural settlement.Michmas, today the Arab village Kfar Mukhmas, about 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) from the modern Jewish settlement of Maaleh Michmas and 9 kilometers (5.5 miles) from Jerusalem, is cited in the Book of Maccabees as the first base for the Jewish leader and future high priest, Jonathan. It is also identified in Mishnah Menahot 8:1 as the provider of the Temple’s semolina wheat.The new study published in the Hebrew-language journal, “In the Highland’s Depth,” outlines additional physical evidence supporting the hypothesis that ancient Michmas was an agricultural settlement populated mainly by kohanim (priests).Lead researcher Dr. Dvir Raviv told The Times of Israel on Monday that in general, “We have very little evidence of priestly settlements.” The drawing Raviv stumbled across, he said, is a step towards illuminating that deficit.Jonathan destroying the Temple of Dagon, by Gustave Doré. (Public domain via Wikipedia)-Ancient Michmas is most known from the Book of Maccabees. As depicted in 1 Maccabees 9:73, Jonathan, the youngest of the five sons of revolt-instigating priest Mattathias, makes peace with the Seleucid general Bacchides and settles in Michmas ahead of beginning his rule, which spanned 161-143 BCE. “Thus the sword ceased from Israel: but Jonathan dwelt at Michmas, and began to govern the people; and he destroyed the ungodly men out of Israel.” (King James Bible)“Jonathan’s choice of the town as the base from which to consolidate his control of Judea may have been linked to the location of Michmas in a densely populated area of Jews who supported the Hasmoneans during the years of the revolt,” said Raviv in a Bar-Ilan University press release.But what if the Michmas townsfolk were not “just” Jews, but rather priests? As part of the new study, Raviv published for the first time the rare charcoal drawing of the menorah — a symbol of priesthood during the Second Temple period — that was discovered in a burial cave in the 1980s and forgotten. In total, the 1980s Benjamin Region Survey undertaken by the Staff Office for Archaeology in Judea and Samaria found four clusters of tombs surrounding the modern Arab village of Mukhmas in the West Bank, with some 70 burial caves.1980s photograph of the facade of menorah drawing in a Second Temple-era tomb at Mukhmas (From the archive of the Unit of the Staff Officer for Archaeology in Judea and Samaria)-According to the 1980s report, the menorah is approximately 50 centimeters (20 inches) wide and 30 centimeters (12 inches) high with a flat base of some 10 centimeters (4 inches). It has a total of seven branches, with six branches coming out of a central stem. Raviv writes that the menorah — drawn with a charcoaled stick — was crowned by an intriguing but unclear paleo-Hebrew letter, which was scratched into the cave wall. Rather large, the letter is 40 centimeters (15.5 inches) high and 20 centimeters (almost 8 inches) wide, and could be proof of a further priestly tie, said Raviv.“But no one knew about the drawing except the surveyors. It lay in the archives in the COGAT archaeology unit [in Judea and Samaria] and no one knew about it until I rechecked and examined the archive materials from the surveys of this area. And then I rediscovered the report,” said Raviv.Easy come, easy go-The physical evidence of this previously unpublished menorah drawing may have already disappeared. Raviv told The Times of Israel that based on the precise coordinates recorded by the excavators in the 1980s, he attempted to locate the burial cave where the menorah was found. After an exhaustive search, he and his partner did not succeed.“We got to the place just outside the modern village of Mukhmas and didn’t find it. It’s possible it doesn’t exist anymore. There has been lots of development, there’s a lot of industry there today. It’s hard to believe it did survive, but maybe it’s just covered,” said Raviv.According to photographic evidence from the 1980s, what appears to be an unusual paleo-Hebrew letter — either a heh or a chet — was etched above the charcoal menorah. The early Hebrew font was not in general use during the Second Temple period.The font was used by Jewish rebels as a nationalist return to Israelite roots on coins and in messages and “it may indicate the tomb’s owners were associated with the small groups that continued to use the script during the Second Temple period, probably kohanim,” Raviv writes.-Two additional charcoal menorahs at Michmas-This newly rediscovered menorah and mysterious letter join another 1980s find of a hideaway cave, in the nearby el-’Aliliyat region. There, archaeologists discovered a mikveh (ritual bath), a cistern, and two menorah drawings, one crowned by an Aramaic/Hebrew inscription.This cave system, in the el-’Aliliyat region, was recently visited by Raviv and scientists from the Israel Cave Research Center.The inscription found in the second cave system, too, could point to a priestly connection — or not, said Raviv.An Aramaic/Hebrew inscription above a Byzantine-era cross and Second Temple-era menorah drawn in a cistern in the al-Aliliyat cliffs near modern Kfar Mukhmas. (Boaz Langford)-Written in typical Hebrew lettering, it states, “Yo?ezer it?aqar ?alu matran[a]“, which can be deciphered in two different readings. The reading of Hebrew University archaeologist Prof. Joseph Patrich, who discovered the inscription, gave a nod to Roman forces: based on its Aramaic root, Patrich translated the Aramaic word “matrana” into the Hebrew mishmarot, and interpreted the inscription as: “Joezer was uprooted, the guards (mishmarot) entered.”However, others read the word mishmarot as the shifts of priestly service in the Temple, a use found throughout later Jewish sources.According to Raviv, “An analysis of the word mishmar/ot in talmudic texts reveals that, in Tannaitic sources (Mishnah and Tosefta), it always designates the priestly divisions, whereas the meaning of roadblocks or military units is added in Amoraic texts… The inscription matarna in the el-’Aliliyat caves should be understood in the older meaning — priestly divisions.”Taken together with the ritual bath, the menorah drawings and the fact that the name Jo’ezer (“God is the Help”) is connected to priestly families, even without the clear identification of the inscription there are strong indications that the cave system was prepared and used by the priestly class, said Raviv. The ritual bath, which would have taken great resources and time to prepare, is a sign that ritual purity was strictly observed.Itai Amir, an Israel Cave Research Center member, in the ritual bath in the al-Aliliyat cliffs near modern Kfar Mukhmas. (Boaz Langford)-“The discovery of the graffiti of seven-branched menorahs in the el-‘Aliliyat caves and in Kafr Mukhmas supports the idea that the decorative use of the menorah during the Second Temple period until the Bar-Kokhba revolt was associated with the Temple and a priestly population. Both the archaeological finds in Michmas discussed here and references to the settlement in literary sources indicate the village’s link to the Temple,” he writes.Other contemporary menorahs-The three Michmas menorah drawings are all likely dated to circa 136-70 BCE and join only a handful of other seven-branched menorah representations from the Second Temple period.Other contemporary menorahs include the Arch of Titus depiction in Rome, and the Magdala Stone, located near Tiberias, which dates to prior to the Temple’s fall. In Jerusalem, sites of menorah drawings include a burial chamber called Jason’s Tomb and pieces of plaster uncovered in the Jewish Quarter. The menorah also appears on coins minted by Mattathias Antigonus, who died in 37 BCE.“Due to the difficulty in determining the exact date of the [Michmas] menorah’s graffito and the scarcity of explicit references to priests in Michmas during the Second Temple period, it is possible that a group reached the site only after the destruction of the Temple and lived there during the period between the revolts,” said Raviv in the press release.The symbol of the menorah was later adopted in funerary art to represent resurrection, especially during the Byzantine era. But until the Bar-Kochba revolt of 132 CE, it was largely used to denote the priestly class.A depiction of Jewish captives and the gold menorah taken from Jerusalem following the destruction of the city in 70 CE, seen on the Arch of Titus, in Rome, Italy, October 20, 2016. (Yossi Zamir/Flash90)-Tip of the menorah? According to textual sources including the Mishnah, there are two other sites that may have been priestly villages, writes Raviv: Beit Hakerem (today’s Ein Kerem), which provided stones for the altar, and Beit Rima, which may have produced wine for libations.“It’s very difficult to put a finger on the priestly settlements of the Second Temple period,” said Raviv.The Magdala Stone bears one of the earliest images of the seven-branched menorah from the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. (Yael Yulowich, courtesy Israel Antiquities Authority)-Raviv said that while there is later archaeological evidence, including an inscription uncovered in 1962 Caesarea excavations, which lists villages that were populated by priests after the fall of the Second Temple, earlier evidence is elusive.However, if, by using the textual sources and archaeological evidence, researchers are able to shore up the location of Michmas as a priestly settlement, “then we can also talk about other locations such as Beit Hakerem and Beit Rima. Maybe Tekoa is another such village,” he wondered.“Identifying Michmas offers a key piece in the greater picture of priestly settlements,” Raviv said.

US fears Iranian attacks as it withdraws troops from Iraq, Afghanistan-Pentagon orders aircraft carrier USS Nimitz to remain in Arabian Gulf beyond original posting to deter efforts to avenge killings of Iran nuclear chief, Gen. Qassim Soleimani-By Lolita C. Baldor-dec 8,20-Today, 3:17 am
WASHINGTON (AP) — As the Pentagon pulls troops out of the Middle East in the coming weeks, under orders from US President Donald Trump, US military leaders are working to find other ways to deter potential attacks by Iran and its proxies, and to counter arguments that America is abandoning the region.A senior US military official with knowledge of the region said Monday that Iran may try to take advantage of America’s troop withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan, and the planned departure of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz from the Arabian Gulf.The official said as a result military leaders have determined that based on the security situation in the region, the Nimitz must remain there now and “for some time to come.” In addition, the official said an additional fighter jet squadron may also be sent to the region, if needed.The Nimitz left the Gulf region and was set to begin heading home. But the ship was ordered to return last week to provide additional security while the troop withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan continue. A US defense official said at the time that the decision would ensure that American troops could deter any adversary from taking action against US forces. No timeline was given, but the US military official speaking Monday made it clear that the change is open-ended, and it’s not clear when the ship’s crew will return home.The potential Iranian threat has become an increasing concern in recent weeks following the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh. Iran has blamed the death on Israel, which has been suspected in previous killings of Iranian nuclear scientists. US officials are also worried about a possible Iranian retaliatory strike on the first anniversary of the US airstrike that killed Iran’s top general, Qassim Soleimani, and senior Iraqi militia leaders near Baghdad’s airport in early January.This photo released by the semi-official Fars News Agency shows the scene where Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed in Absard, a small city just east of the capital, Tehran, Iran, Nov. 27, 2020.

(Fars News Agency via AP)-The military official said the US is aware of Iranian attack planning and threats, and that some are more mature, while others are aspirational. A key worry, he said, is that Iranian-backed militias in Iraq may be willing to act even without the blessings or direction of Tehran.The presence of the Nimitz, said the official, may cause Iran or the militias to rethink a possible attack.The Pentagon is mindful of the impact of the extended deployment on the Nimitz sailors and on the Navy’s plan for the ship’s maintenance, said the military official, who spoke to a small number of reporters on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing troop deliberations.The Pentagon announced last month that the US will reduce troop levels in Iraq and Afghanistan by mid-January, asserting that the decision fulfills Trump’s pledge to bring forces home from America’s long wars. Under the accelerated pullout, the US will cut the number of troops in Afghanistan from more than 4,500 to 2,500, and in Iraq from about 3,000 to 2,500.Postponing the return of the Nimitz, however, will keep between 5,000-7,000 sailors and Marines in the Middle East, likely into next year. Other ships in the Nimitz strike group may remain with the carrier.The military official said that the Pentagon will look at other ways to make up for the loss of the Nimitz when the carrier does leave the region.Trump’s troop withdrawal decision got a cool reception from Republican lawmakers and allies, who warned of the dangers of reducing forces before security conditions are right. And it came despite arguments from senior military officials who favor a slower pullout to preserve hard-fought gains.Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, top US commander for the Middle East, has long argued for a consistent aircraft carrier presence in the Gulf region to deter Iran.In this photo provided by U.S. Navy, the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76, front) and USS Nimitz (CVN 68, rear) Carrier Strike Groups sail together in formation, in the South China Sea, Monday, July 6, 2020. (Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jason Tarleton/U.S. Navy via AP)-Visiting the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the North Arabian Sea in February, McKenzie told the sailors: “You’re here because we don’t want a war with Iran and nothing makes a potential adversary think twice about war than the presence of an aircraft carrier and the strike group that comes with it.”Despite widespread demands for US Navy ships in other parts of the world, McKenzie requested and received a much larger than usual naval presence in the Middle East region throughout the early part of this year. But over time, the numbers have declined, in recognition of the Pentagon’s effort to put more emphasis on China and the Indo-Pacific.
Suspect in Nice church attack faces terror murder charges-Police had struggled to question stabbing suspect, who was seriously injured following spree in which three killed-By AP-7 December 2020, 10:34 pm
PARIS — French authorities said Monday that the main suspect behind October’s deadly Nice church attack has been handed terror murder charges.Brahim Issaoui’s health had impeded authorities’ ability to question him. Issaoui was seriously wounded by police following the attack, and remained hospitalized in life-threatening condition for some time.But on Monday a communique said the Tunisian migrant was charged with “assassinations in connection with a terrorist enterprise” and “participation in a criminal terrorist association.” It is unclear if this means that the suspect was finally questioned as part of the investigation.HE is suspected of stabbing three people to death at the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Nice, the southern French city’s biggest church.
Georgia Senate candidates accuse each other of fraternizing with anti-Semites-Kelly Loeffler scrutinizes Raphael Warnock’s defense of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, while he targets her support from QAnon conspiracy theorist-By Ron Kampeas-7 December 2020, 10:02 pm
JTA — The two candidates in a critical runoff election for the US Senate exchanged charges of associations with anti-Semites and white supremacists during a televised debate Sunday night.The Rev. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat, and incumbent Republican Kelly Loeffler faced off in Atlanta, ahead of a January 5 special election that could determine which party controls the Senate.Loeffler twice scorned Warnock, who is Black, for defending the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the Chicago pastor whose anti-Israel and anti-Semitic statements drove his one-time parishioner then-president Barack Obama to renounce him. Wright is also Black.“He’s called Israel an apartheid state and said that we should end military assistance,” she said of Warnock. “He’s compared Israelis defending themselves against Palestinians, he has compared them to birds of prey. And he celebrated Jeremiah Wright, an anti-American anti-Semite. That’s divisive.”Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Obama’s ex-pastor, delivers a speech in Washington in which he calls Israel an ‘apartheid state’ and declares that ‘Jesus was a Palestinian,’ October 10, 2015. (Screenshot/ YouTube)-Warnock has been sharply critical of Israel in his sermons, including in denouncing snipers targeting violent protesters on the border with the Gaza Strip. He once signed a document likening Israel’s control of the West Bank to apartheid South Africa’s occupation of Namibia; it did not liken Israel to an apartheid state. Warnock has said that he would uphold current levels of defense assistance to Israel.The Democrat in turn reminded viewers of Loeffler’s close alliance with Marjorie Taylor Greene, a newly elected Georgia congresswoman who has embraced theories aligned with the QAnon conspiracy movement, which includes anti-Semitic tropes.Illustrative: Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks to Georgia attorney general Chris Carr, during a campaign rally for Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler in Roswell, Georgia, October 31, 2020. (AP Photo/John Bazemore)-“She says she is against racism and that racism has no place, but she welcomed the support of a QAnon conspiracy theorist and she sat down with a white supremacist for an interview,” Warnock said. “I don’t think she can explain that.”The white supremacist interview apparently refers to Loeffler’s friendly interview this summer with Jack Posobiec, a right-wing provocateur who at one point had associations with white supremacists, but more recently has been associated with what the Anti-Defamation League has termed the “alt-lite,” a branch of the far right that claims to seek the ouster of white supremacists from right-wing ranks.If Democrats win both runoffs in Georgia next month, they will have control of Senate. The other race is between Jon Ossoff, a Jewish Democrat, and incumbent Sen. David Perdue. That race also has been marked by accusations of anti-Semitism — for instance, Perdue has run ads depicting Ossoff with a digitally altered nose to make it seem larger.Perdue has refused to debate Ossoff, so the challenger appeared Sunday on a debate stage by himself.
Israel ‘very comfortable’ with US sale of F-35s to UAE, Ambassador Dermer says-Envoy to US confident arms deal won’t harm Israel’s regional military edge, says he is more concerned about Biden’s plan to reenter Iran deal-By Jacob Magid-7 December 2020, 8:43 pm
NEW YORK — Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer said Monday that Israel is “very comfortable” with Washington’s proposed $23 billion arms deal to the United Arab Emirates and stressed that he is far more concerned about President-elect Joe Biden’s plan to reenter the Iran nuclear deal.“We believe that the UAE is an ally in confronting Iran, and we do not believe that this arms package will violate the US commitment to maintain Israel’s qualitative military edge [QME],” Dermer said in a joint interview on MSNBC with his Emirati counterpart, Youssef al-Otaiba.The Israeli envoy explained that security officials from both the US and Israel met before the arms deal was finalized in order to ensure that the federally protected QME would be maintained. Jerusalem is believed to have received an American commitment to a substantial military package to compensate for the US sale of 50 stealth F-35 fighter jets, 18 advanced armed Reaper drone systems, and a package of air-to-air and air-to-ground munitions to the UAE.Dermer said both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz had signed off on the Emirati arms deal. “I can tell you, that’s not something that happens often in our politics, but on this deal they did issue that joint statement,” he said.(From L-R) UAE Ambassador to the US Yousef al-Otaiba and his Israeli counterpart, Ron Dermer, are interviewed on MSNBC on December 7, 2020. (Screen capture/MSNBC)-Indeed, minutes after securing their assurance of a compensation package from the US, a joint statement was released from Netanyahu’s office on behalf of both the premier and the defense minister saying that Jerusalem would not object to the supply of advanced weapons to the UAE.But almost immediately afterward, Gantz issued his own statement accusing Netanyahu of keeping him and other top defense officials in the dark about the initial negotiations regarding the F-35 sale as part of the UAE’s normalization deal with Israel, signed in September.During the interview, Dermer pivoted to Israeli concerns regarding Biden’s stated intention to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal if Tehran were to go back to strict compliance with the agreement.“What keeps me up at night is actually not the proposed F-35 sale to the Emirates. What keeps me up at night is the idea that somebody would return to the nuclear deal with Iran,” Dermer said.He argued that both Israel and Arab states in the Middle East do not support the US reentering the multilateral agreement, which provided sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on Iran’s nuclear program.52 F-35 jets line up for a launch exercise at Utah’s Hill Air Force Base in show of force and combat readiness amid US-Iran tensions, January 6, 2020. (US Air Force/R. Nial Bradshaw/Twitter screen capture)-Dermer reiterated his call for the Biden administration to talk with its allies in the region before moving forward with Iran.Al-Otaiba was asked to explain the timing for the Emirati agreement to normalize relations with Israel in September.Pointing to an Arab Youth Survey that found 89 percent of Emiratis between the ages of 18 and 24 support the normalization deal, al-Otaiba said, “There’s a recognition that the region is moving in a different direction, with different mindsets, and I think we took advantage of that.”-Senate seeks to block Emirati arms-The Trump administration officially notified Congress of the planned arms deal to the UAE last month. In the weeks that followed, Democrats, along with one Republican, have put forward a series of resolutions aimed at blocking the deal, arguing that the Emiratis should not be entrusted with such sophisticated weaponry.Those four resolutions, submitted by Chris Murphy (D-CT), Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Rand Paul (R-KY), are slated to come to a vote on the Senate floor on Tuesday, a Congressional aide told The Times of Israel.The proposals point to the UAE’s participation in a bombing campaign in Yemen, which has been described as a humanitarian disaster, as well as alleged Emirati violations of the international arms embargo in Libya. They also warn of the possibility that the technology supplied by the US could land in the hands of competitors Russia and China.The liberal pro-Israel lobby J Street announced Monday that it supported the Murphy-Menendez-Paul resolutions, arguing that “proposed sale of a massive quantity of advanced, highly destructive weapons systems to the UAE would only fuel a region-wide arms race and exacerbate ongoing conflicts that are having devastating consequences for civilians’ human rights and are imperiling US interests.”“While the Israeli government has officially stated it does not object to the proposed sale, many Israeli security leaders have warned that the transfer of this type and volume of advanced weapons technology to the UAE could materially erode Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge — a cornerstone of Israel’s security that J Street steadfastly supports,” the dovish group said in a statement.US Senator Christopher Murphy attends a talk at the third day of the 53rd Munich Security Conference (MSC) at the Bayerischer Hof hotel in Munich, southern Germany, on February 19, 2017. (AFP/ Christof STACHE)-Last week, al-Otaiba issued a rebuttal of congressional concerns over the deal while warning that if Washington refuses to supply his country with the weapons it needs to secure the region, it will be forced to turn elsewhere.The Senate resolutions must come to a vote by December 11 or face expiration.A Republican congressional aide told The Times of Israel last week that it was likely the resolutions would be voted on, but even if they pass, they would not receive the two-thirds majority needed in both houses to override a presidential veto.Because the transfer of such weapons takes years to come about, an incoming Biden administration could also block the deal, but there’s little precedent for a president to scrap such agreements made by a predecessor.At the same time, Biden’s nominee for secretary of state, Tony Blinken, told The Times of Israel days before the election that the Democratic nominee would have to “take a hard look” at the F-35 sale, due to concerns that it might threaten Israel’s military edge.
