Orthodox Jews back Trump by massive margin, poll finds-83% of denomination say they plan to vote for the incumbent, compared to just 14% for Biden; 4% undecided with 20 days to election, while 76% say media biased against Trump-By Jacob Magid-15 October 2020, 1:57 am

 NEW YORK — An overwhelming percentage of Orthodox Jews in the US plan to cast their ballots for President Donald Trump come November, according to a poll published Wednesday.The survey from the community’s Ami Magazine found that a whopping 83 percent of Orthodox Jews said they will vote for Trump, compared to just 13% who said they’d support the Democratic Party’s nominee Joe Biden. Four percent of respondents remain undecided, with just 20 days remaining until the electionThe poll also found that 76% of respondents believe the media is unfair to the president, while 14% said they believe that the press is mostly fair to Trump.Respondents were not asked what issues motivated their voting plans.Political surveys of only Orthodox Jews are rare. A survey of Orthodox Jews conducted in January, provided to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, found that 66% of Haredi voters reported having voted for Trump in 2016, compared to just 32% of Modern Orthodox voters.Check out the methodology statement about the poll sampling, model, weighting, etc. Journalists are invited to send their questions via DM; I can also reached via email at turx@amimagazine.org. pic.twitter.com/YAJEjSXTB — Jake K. Turx (@JakeTurx) October 14, 2020-A 2017 survey from the American Jewish Committee found that 54% of Orthodox Jews voted for Trump in the previous election. Since then, Trump’s favorables among the denomination’s members have risen, climbing to 71% according to the AJC survey. A 2019 Ami Magazine poll found that 89% of Orthodox Jews approve of Trump’s performance as president.The Wednesday Ami poll relied on responses from 1,000 members of the Orthodox community. The magazine said the breakdown in respondents was based on “the most currently available internal data, which breaks down America’s Orthodox Jewish constituency as 66% ultra-Orthodox or Haredi, 23% Modern Orthodox, 6% Traditional and 5% identifying either as Orthodox without a specific denomination or preferring not to say.”Respondents hailed from 22 states, but many — including some with sizable Orthodox populations — were left out, including Michigan, Arizona and Rhode Island. The margin of error was 3.1%.An attendee wears a ‘Make America Great Again’ kippah before US President Donald Trump speaks at an annual meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition on April 6, 2019, in Las Vegas. (AP/John Locher)-The largest concentrations of Orthodox Jews is found in New York, New Jersey, and other overwhelmingly blue states, giving them limited influence, but tens of thousands also live in swing states such as Florida and Pennsylvania whose electoral college votes are slated to be decisive on November 3, and can be an important factor there.The Ami poll was published just a day after the release of a Pew Research Center survey which found that 70% of American Jews overall plan to vote for Biden, while 27% plan to vote for Trump.If those numbers bear out, they will be nearly identical to the Jewish result in 2016, when Pew found that Hillary Clinton won 71% of the Jewish vote to Trump’s 25%. In 2012, the numbers were slightly higher for the Republican candidate: Barack Obama won 69% of the Jewish vote while Mitt Romney won 30%.The margin of error for Jewish respondents on the Pew survey is quite large, at 9.6%, which means that the result is statistically similar to the Jewish vote in previous elections.JTA contributed to this report.

Plastic bags and containers make up 70% of Israel’s Med, Red Sea trash — study-NIS 80 million available for cutting plastic bag use, yet no government targets set; Tel Aviv ranked third among 22 Mediterranean beaches for most plastic pollution along coastline-By Sue Surkes-oct 14,20  

Nearly three-quarters of the trash found in Israeli waters in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea consists of bits of plastic bags and plastic containers, according to the National Marine Waste Monitoring Report for 2019, published Wednesday.The survey was released just a day after the Knesset Interior Affairs and Environmental Protection committees heard that targets for plastic bag reduction in the coming years, which should have been embedded in Knesset regulations by 2018, have not advanced beyond the desk of two Environmental Protection ministers, in violation of the law.Despite pleas from ministry officials to step up activity, no public awareness campaigns to cut plastic bags have been run since 2016 because they were “not ministerial priorities.”Since 2017, food retailers have been obliged to levy a NIS 10 agorot (three cents) charge for every plastic bag. Out of the NIS 127 ($37.5) million transferred since then to the ministry’s Clean Fund from the bag tax, just NIS 46 ($13.5) million has been spent so far — NIS 20 ($6) million on a campaign to encourage multi-use shopping bags and a further NIS 26 ($7.7) million on unrelated programs to clean up beaches.Earlier this year, in light of a worrying rise in the number of turtles getting tangled up in plastic in the sea, the Israel Nature and Parks Authority called for the public’s help to locate and report incidents. Despite increased efforts by the country’s local authorities to keep beaches clean, the World Wide Fund for Nature last year ranked Tel Aviv third among 22 Mediterranean beaches for the most plastic pollution along its coastline.A young turtle tangled up in a green plastic ‘jute’ bag, photographed at the Israel SeaTurtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center. (YouTube/Israel Nature and Parks Authority screenshot)-On Monday, Knesset Internal and Environmental Affairs Committee chairwoman Miki Haimovich (Blue and White) reported that she had persuaded Justice Ministry officials to agree to approve bylaw changes to ban single-use plastic on beaches.Worldwide, some eight million tons of plastic waste enter the seas every year.In Israel, the monitoring program to track floating and seabed waste — the fourth annual survey — was carried out by Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research, a government corporation.A penguin trapped in plastic netting. (zvibrav/iStock by Getty Images).Debris spotted in the Mediterranean Sea, at depths of 20 to 1,700 meters (22 to 1,860 yards), mainly came from plastic food wrappings. The highest concentrations — 4,000 to 10,000 individual items of waste per square kilometer (1200 square yards) — were in the band of water 200 to 500 meters (218 to 546 yards) deep.Substantial amounts were only seen close to the coast after heavy rain. According to an Environmental Protection Ministry statement, this suggests that the main source of waste in the Mediterranean Sea is not from bathers but from urban waste flowing together with surface runoff along drainage canals and trash that enters streams that flow into the sea.Tiny plastic particles measuring five millimeters or less — which are now known to enter the marine food chain and eventually reach our plates — were found in both the Mediterranean and Red seas.Floating trash in both locations — also mainly tiny particles measuring up to 3.5 millimeters (0.14 of an inch) from plastic bags and containers — were found in concentrations of up to 13 million bits per square kilometer, which is high compared with the Western Mediterranean. Between 50% and 80% of these floating pieces were either white or clear in color, the most dangerous for sea creatures that mistake them for food.Not surprisingly, samplings of beaches this year turned up a new form of trash — gloves and masks used as protection against coronavirus. discarded disposable medical mask on a beach.

One official, Noa Spitzer-Mizrahi, revealed that the professionals finished preparing draft targets in 2018 but were still waiting for them to enter the ministry’s work schedule and list of priorities. Another official said former Environmental Protection Minister Ze’ev Elkin had put the brakes on targets, but that the current minister, Gila Gamliel, was aware of the proposals and wanted to review policy before reaching a decision.Israeli blogger Gil Drori picks up a plastic bag on the Beit Yanai beach on November 23, 2018, during his 9-day journey to raise awareness of the harmful effects of disposable plastic pollution on the Mediterranean Sea. (Meir Vaknin/Flash90)-Lambasting the lax pace of progress, committee chairwoman Haimovich said that awareness-raising cannot have been successful if a seasoned recycler like her did not even know that plastic bags could be recycled when put into orange containers and wrapping recycling bins (distributed around most of the country, but not in Jerusalem). Joint List MK Sondos Saleh said awareness-raising about the disadvantages of plastic bags did not exist in the Arab sector.According to Environmental Protection Ministry data for the period immediately prior to the implementation of the plastic bag law in January 2017, Israelis were collecting an average of 325 such bags per year and throwing a quarter of them into the trash after using them once. This compared at the time to an average of 100 bags per capita in Europe. The abandoned draft targets set by ministry officials envisioned cutting use to 170 bags per person per year by 2020 and reaching 65 per head by 2027.A supermarket worker bagging groceries in plastic bags at the Rami Levi supermarket in Talpiot, Jerusalem, September 3, 2013. (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)
Spitzer-Mizrahi said that large food retailers purchased two billion plastic bags for free distribution in 2016, before the law was passed in April 2016 and implemented in January 2017.After implementation, that number dropped dramatically to 380 million, but it then rose in 2018 to 430 million and in 2019 to 454 million. Up to June 30 this year, retailers had already bought 237 million bags. The figures were not cross-referenced with population growth.According to the ministry’s website, more than 70% of the public supports a law prohibiting the free distribution of plastic bags that harm the environment. The ministry publishes a list of the supermarkets obliged to charge for bags that have a width of 20-50 microns (One micron is one-millionth of a meter or one twenty-five thousandth of an inch).Ultra-Orthodox Jews outside a supermarket in the city of Bnei Brak, near Tel Aviv, on March 25, 2020. (Avshalom Sassoni/Flash90)-But as the committee heard, some of the large retailers have tried to bypass the law, distributing bags that are thicker than 50 microns, or thick paper bags which are also environmentally questionable, or distributing multi-use bags in such great numbers that consumers throw most of them away for lack of storage space. The money retailers pay to buy plastic bags is rolled onto the consumer in higher prices for other products.For reasons that are unclear to Environmental Protection Ministry officials, there is also a gap between the number of plastic bags that big retailers buy and the numbers that they can prove were sold on to customers.Spitzer-Mizrahi said that there was no plan at present either to raise the price of plastic bags that must be paid for within the framework of the law, or to extend the law to other retailers, such as drug stores.The two environmental organizations — Adam Teva V’Din and Zalul — said there was no substitute for legally obliging all retailers to charge. “This is Israel,” said Adam Teva V’Din’s Amiad Lapidot. “If one store charges and the next one doesn’t, people will shop at the latter.”Haimovich said she would study Adam Teva V’Din’s draft text for amending the law.Speaking for the Plastic Bag Manufacturers and Marketers Forum of the Association of Chambers of Commerce, Gidi Frishtick complained that ministry promises to help the industry had not been honored, with the result that three out of six production companies had closed. Spitzer-Mizrahi said that the manufacturers had insisted on financial compensation, which the ministry could not provide.

Deri said to warn of possible Haredi ‘revolt’ if yeshivas barred from reopening-TV report says many rabbis back opening ultra-Orthodox schools next week, even if government doesn’t ease lockdown restrictions-By TOI staff-oct 14,20-Today, 10:58 pm

Interior Minister Aryeh Deri has reportedly warned of a possible “revolt” among ultra-Orthodox Jews if yeshivas are not allowed to reopen next week, as Israeli television said many Haredi educational institutions may open their doors even if barred from doing so by the government.According to Kan news, the comments by Deri, who heads the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, came during a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials before the so-called coronavirus cabinet convenes Thursday to discuss easing the sweeping restrictions now in place.“We’re headed for an explosion. If you don’t reach an arrangement with us, I really fear a revolt by the ultra-Orthodox sector. There will be large-scale violations and it will be hard to enforce the regulations,” Deri was quoted as saying.Kan also reported that many rabbis backed reopening ultra-Orthodox schools next week despite opposition from Roni Numa, a former general who has led and assisted official efforts to deal with the coronavirus crisis in the Haredi community.During a video briefing Wednesday, Numa said infection rates have not dropped enough to allow local Haredi schools to reopen.Yeshiva students study in separation capsules in Jerusalem on September 2, 2020. (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)“They’re asking us to open but we can’t open, we can’t allow this,” he said.He said, however, that boarding schools could be allowed to reopen because students do not regularly return home.Numa put the positive test rate among ultra-Orthodox Israelis at 12.8 percent, about double recent nationwide numbers, but well below rates of over 20% seen in the community in past week.He also said that “we are still not far enough from Sukkot to understand what that holiday did to us, and so we need to understand if the holiday had a negative effect.”Earlier Wednesday, Kan aired footage showing dozens of yeshiva students in Ashdod returning to their seminary after the Sukkot holiday break, despite the continued closure of schools throughout Israel — with no social distancing and almost no masks.@Itsik_zuarets pic.twitter.com/xSDGyVwKGe -) October 14, 2020-Some experts have pointed to the opening of yeshivas in late August as a major factor in the massive spike in infections Israel saw in September, especially in the ultra-Orthodox community. Schools had promised to quarantine students and impose various safety valves, but reports have indicated few kept to them.Criticism of the ultra-Orthodox community has been growing in recent weeks. Though many in the community are keeping to guidelines, a significant number disregarded lockdown restrictions during Sukkot, including by holding mass gatherings.Ministers agreed Tuesday to extend the ongoing lockdown — which began September 18 and was slated to end on Wednesday evening — until Sunday night.On Thursday, the coronavirus cabinet will meet to discuss whether to ease any of the lockdown measures next week, including allowing takeout from restaurants and the reopening of preschools and some small businesses that don’t receive in-person customers.The Health Ministry has a phased exit plan spanning four months that would see the country gradually return to normal activity, starting with increased freedom of movement and eventually reopening daycares, schools, synagogues, malls and other venues. The stages would only kick into gear when the national daily tally dips below 2,000 cases and the person-to-person spread is slowed.The government is also planning to differentiate between cities with low and high infections rates, with so-called “red” zones remaining under lockdown longer while “green” areas open.

In first, UAE plane crosses Israel’s skies en route to Abu Dhabi-Etihad Airways plane flying from Milan to Abu Dhabi traverses Israeli airspace, following Israeli-Jordanian agreement allowing airlines to cross territories, reducing flight times-By TOI staff-oct 14,20-Today, 8:16 pm

In a first, a passenger plane from the United Air Emirates flew over Israel on its way from Milan to Abu Dhabi.The flight was the first to traverse Israeli airspace as part of an aviation agreement inked last week between Israel and Jordan to allow airlines to fly over both countries’ territories en route to various destinations. The deal is expected to shorten regional flight times.“Captain, we are thrilled and honored to welcome you to overfly Israel,” an Israeli air traffic controller is heard telling the Etihad Airways pilot in an audio clip released by the Transportation Ministry. “This is a historic moment we have all been waiting for. We hope it will inspire the whole region and mark the beginning of a new era, inshallah (in Arabic: God willing).”The pilot responded: “Inshallah, thank you, the honor is ours.”  ?????? ????? ?????? ?? ???? ????

Citing ‘trauma porn,’ MK raps TikTok for failing to halt spread of anti-Semitism-Representatives of Chinese-owned app come under fire at Knesset hearing, including for hosting videos in which teenagers pretend to be Holocaust victims for clicks-By TOI staff-oct 14,20-Today, 8:58 pm

Representatives of the Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok came under fire in the Knesset on Wednesday for allegedly failing to combat the spread of anti-Semitism on their network.At a hearing of the Knesset Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs Committee Wednesday morning on the topic of anti-Semitism on social media platforms, Knesset members accused the controversial social media giant of failing to stop the spread of viral videos that the MKs said denied, made fun of, or cheapened the memory of the Holocaust.TikTok had refused to participate in two earlier Knesset panels on the subject of online anti-Semitism but on Wednesday two representatives joined the session via Zoom — Elizabeth Kantor, director of government relations and public policy UK, Ireland and Israel, and Erik Shadowens, TikTok’s policy manager.While representatives of Google, Facebook and Twitter were also in attendance,  Knesset members’ opprobrium was directed most pointedly at TikTok.
MK Michal Cotler-Wunsh (Blue and White) at a Knesset panel on anti-Semitism on social media, October 14, 2020 (Screenshot)-“We see evidence that [Holocaust-denial] hasn’t been removed,” MK Michal Cotler-Wunsh told a representative of TikTok.“I am pleased that after their notable absence at our past two hearings, that TikTok has now chosen to take this first step in accepting responsibility for the virulent anti-Semitism on its platform,” she said.TikTok is a social media platform popular with teenagers in which they can create short 3-15 second music, dance comedy or talent videos. It is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance and its Chinese provenance has raised concerns among critics about possible data security weaknesses and even foreign espionage.Cotler-Wunsh cited a song that went viral on TikTok in July as an example of this phenomenon. The song’s lyrics were “We’re going on a trip to a place called Auschwitz, it’s shower time,” and was accompanied by various user-generated videos that collectively got millions of views.Cotler-Wunsh also pointed to examples of what she described as offensive “trauma porn,” videos in which teenagers imagine what it would be like to be a Holocaust victim. Such videos have come under fire for being ill-informed and cheapening the memory of the Holocaust.She pointed out that TikTok enables very young users to be exposed to both anti-Semitic and Holocaust-distorting content.“What steps is the platform taking to address this abhorrent phenomenon and ensure that such anti-Semitic content is addressed prior to it reaching millions of users?” Cotler-Wunsh asked.Several MKs urged TikTok to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism.“In order to address a problem it must first be defined,” Cotler-Wunsh said. “Thus, TikTok must adopt and implement the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism — which includes the use of Holocaust rhetoric and denial as well as the delegitimization, demonization, and double standards — and utilize this consensus definition to flag anti-Semitic content and to educate the public.”TikTok representative Linda Kantor speaks to a Knesset panel on combatting anti-Semitism online on October 14, 2020 (Screenshot)-MK Yosef Taieb (Shas) expressed the view that TikTok should also remove content that is anti-Israel. He said he understood this was problematic because it is considered political speech, but added that he had received complaints about TikTok removing content that was pro-Israel.“Someone put up a video showing that Israel is not racist and [is] democratic and TikTok removed it,” he said. “At least don’t take down content that is pro-Israel,” he urged.Yaakov Hagoel, Vice Chairman of the World Zionist Organization, told the panel that in his experience, anti-Semitism on social networks quickly translates into anti-Semitism in the streets.Nowadays social networks are more powerful than television networks“Nowadays social networks are more powerful than television networks. TikTok is very popular among young people and the anti-Semitic conversation has now moved to the streets. We need to combat this so we can prevent the next murder,” said Hagoel.“I can feel it in the air,” he said, describing a rising tide of anti-Semitism.Representatives of TikTok responded that they have been removing Holocaust denial content since January and that they are doing their best to address the problem.“We are committed to improving our enforcement,” Elizabeth Kantor told the panel, noting that “a Holocaust survivor recently spoke to our trust and safety team.”Facebook wins praise, Twitter is criticized-Several Knesset members praised Facebook for the social network’s October 12 decision to ban posts that deny or distort the Holocaust.Jordana Cutler, Facebook’s head of policy for Israel, told the panel that anyone who searches for Holocaust-related information in Facebook’s search bar, including for Holocaust-denial terms such as “Holohoax,” will now be directed to credible and fact-based information outside of Facebook’s platform.“I want to thank you and thank you again 10 times,” MK David Bitan, the committee’s chairman said, addressing Cutler.Meanwhile, Cotler-Wunsh criticized Twitter for its alleged double-standard in flagging the tweets of US President Donald Trump but not those of Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeni, who she said has called for the genocide of Israelis.“I don’t know if it’s been updated but the Twitter policy was that it is okay to call for genocide against the state of Israel, it’s considered saber-rattling we were told, as opposed to statements by certain politicians that are flagged. And I’m wondering if that’s been addressed,” she said.Cotler-Wunsh was referring to an exchange during a previous hearing in which her guest, pro-Israel activist Arsen Ostrovsky, posed a question to a Twitter representative. Ostrovsky is an Australian-Israeli lawyer and board member of Nefesh B’Nefesh who works for the Israeli Jewish Congress (headed by former Russian senator Vladimir Slutzker).Twitter representative Ronan Costello replied that “our approach to anti-Semitism is encompassed by our approach to hateful content, dehumanization, glorification of violence and denial of violent events. Content under those categories has already been actioned at a significant scale.”Costello mentioned that the social media giant was working closely with a newly minted Israeli NGO called Fighting Online Antisemitism that was flagging content it perceived to be anti-Semitic and alerting Twitter.“We send them anti-Semitic content that we have noticed that hasn’t been removed so that they can remove it,” Fighting Online Antisemitism head Tomer Aldubi told The Times of Israel by email. “Next month we will have a training session of the NGO’s volunteers with the head of public policy for Twitter in Ireland.”The Times of Israel asked Aldubi who funds his NGO but he declined to answer. Aldubi previously directed the Israeli Students Combating Antisemitism NGO, funded by the Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry, which is named after Russian oligarch Moshe Kantor. Aldubi said that Kantor is not involved in funding his new venture.The meeting ended with Cotler-Wunsh and others calling for all four social media platforms to adopt the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism.

Lebanon, Israel have ‘productive’ first talks on setting maritime border-Joint US-UN statement says both sides reaffirmed their commitment to continue negotiations, which are scheduled to resume on October 28-By Agencies and TOI staff-oct 14,20-Today, 4:50 pm

NAQURA, Lebanon — Lebanon and Israel, still technically at war, held unprecedented talks under UN and US auspices Wednesday to settle a maritime border dispute and clear the way for oil and gas exploration within “reasonable time.”In a joint statement afterward, the United States and the United Nations said the talks had been “productive” and that the delegates had “reaffirmed their commitment to continue negotiations later this month.”Following years of US shuttle diplomacy, Lebanon and Israel this month said they had agreed to begin UN-brokered negotiations, in what Washington hailed as a “historic” agreement.The talks, held at a UN peacekeeping force base in the Lebanese border town of Naqura, lasted for around one hour and came weeks after Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates became the first Arab states to establish relations with Israel since Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994.This has prompted suspicions that the flurry of US-sponsored diplomacy relating to Israel is meant to boost US President Donald Trump in his re-election campaign.A second round of negotiations will be held on October 28.A diplomatic convoy carrying UN officials to attend the first round of talks between Lebanese and Israeli delegations on the demarcation of the maritime frontier between the two countries, which are still in a state of war, in the southern Lebanese border town of Naqura on October 14, 2020. (Mahmoud ZAYYAT/AFP)-Wednesday’s talks marked a “first step in the thousand-mile march towards the demarcation” of the sea frontier, Brigadier General Bassam Yassin, head of Lebanon’s delegation, said according to an army statement.“We are looking to achieve a pace of negotiations that would allow us to conclude this dossier within reasonable time,” he said.The Naqura talks, which focused exclusively on the disputed sea frontier, came at a sensitive time as Lebanon, battered by multiple crises, hopes to continue exploring for oil and gas in a part of the Mediterranean also claimed by Israel.US envoy David Schenker facilitated the opening session along with US ambassador to Algeria John Desrocher, who was the mediator.Security was tight, with roads in the area blocked by UN peacekeepers and Lebanese troops, and helicopters flying overhead.Udi Adiri (Screen capture: YouTube)-Israel sent a six-member team led by the director general of the Energy Ministry Udi Adiri. He was accompanied by the energy minister’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 UN and International Organizations Alon Bar, and Brig. Gen. Oren Setter, head of the Israeli military’s Strategic Division, also attended the talks.Lebanon’s four-member delegation comprised two army officers, an official and a maritime border law expert.‘We have no illusions' Israel and Lebanon have no diplomatic relations and Wednesday’s talks were a rare official interaction.Lebanon insists that the negotiations are purely technical and don’t involve any soft political normalization with Israel.A general view shows UNIFIL and Lebanese military helicopters that transported UN officials and members of the Lebanese delegation to attend the first round of talks with Israeli delegates at a UN peacekeeping base in the Lebanese border town of Naqura on October 14, 2020. (Mahmoud ZAYYAT/AFP)Lebanon’s main Shiite parties Hezbollah and Amal issued a statement late Tuesday bemoaning the presence of civilians in the Lebanese negotiating team.“This harms Lebanon’s position and interests… and amounts to giving in to the Israeli logic that seeks some form of normalization,” they said.Lebanon, mired in its worst economic crisis since the 1975-1990 civil war, is looking to settle the maritime border dispute so it can press its offshore quest for oil and gas.In February 2018, Lebanon signed its first contract for drilling in two blocks in the Mediterranean with a consortium comprising energy giants Total, ENI and Novatek.Exploration of one of the blocks is more controversial as part of it is located in an 860-square-kilometer (330-square-mile) area claimed by both Israel and Lebanon. – A senior source at Israel’s energy ministry told AFP that the border dispute “can be concluded hopefully in a few months’ time.”“This is a limited effort to resolve a well-defined, limited problem,” he said.“We have no illusions. Our aim is not to create here some kind of normalization or peace process.”Mixed reaction-Reactions to the talks have been mixed in Lebanon, still reeling from the huge August 4 explosion at Beirut port that killed more than 190 people.The pro-Hezbollah Al-Akhbar daily on Monday called the talks “a moment of unprecedented political weakness for Lebanon,” arguing that Israel is the real “beneficiary.”Hezbollah is both an armed terror group that has fought several wars against Israel and a major force in Lebanese politics.On Thursday, its parliamentary bloc stressed that demarcating Lebanon’s disputed maritime border with Israel does not signify “reconciliation” or “normalization.”A United Nations ship is pictured in the southernmost area of Naqura, by the border with Israel, on October 14, 2020. (Mahmoud ZAYYAT / AFP)-Following a 2006 war, regular talks between Israeli and Lebanese army officers were reestablished under the auspices of UN peacekeeping force UNIFIL.As well as the discussions on the maritime border facilitated by the US, a UNIFIL-brokered track is due to address outstanding land border disputes.Political scientist Hilal Khashan of the American University of Beirut said these talks would be more complex as they would undoubtedly raise the issue of the formidable weapons stockpile held by Hezbollah, the only Lebanese group not to have disarmed after the civil war.“Hezbollah will not agree to give up its arsenal,” he said.

WASHINGTON — US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday encouraged Saudi Arabia to recognize Israel, in what would be a massive boost for the Jewish state amid normalization by two other Gulf Arab kingdoms.Bahrain, which tightly coordinates its foreign policy with Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates on September 15 signed the so-called Abraham Accords with Israel at the White House.Hosting Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Pompeo said the agreement “contributed greatly to our shared goals for regional peace and security.”“They reflect a changing dynamic in the region, one in which countries rightly recognize the need for regional cooperation to counter Iranian influence and generate prosperity,” Pompeo said.“We hope Saudi Arabia will consider normalizing its relationships as well. We want to thank them for the assistance they’ve had in the success of the Abraham Accords so far.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, left, US President Donald Trump, Bahrain Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa and United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan pose for a photo on the Blue Room Balcony after signing the Abraham Accords during a ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, September 15, 2020. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)-US President Donald Trump has highlighted Arab normalization with Israel as a major achievement as he seeks another term in November 3 elections, with his evangelical Christian base widely supportive of the Jewish state.Trump said last month that he also expected Saudi Arabia to recognize Israel “at the right time.”Gulf Arab kingdoms have found common cause with Trump in his hawkish line against regional rival Iran.The administration in turn has been sparing in raising human rights concerns with the Arab allies, including over the killing two years ago of US-based writer Jamal Khashoggi at a Saudi consulate.Pompeo said the United States “supports a robust program of arms sales to Saudi Arabia,” saying the effort helps “protect its citizens and sustains American jobs.”In a controversial move that triggered an internal probe, Pompeo last year cited a crisis with Iran to bypass Congress to push ahead $8 billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia.Lawmakers across party lines have been appalled by the heavy toll on civilians, including destruction of schools and hospitals, in Saudi Arabia’s campaign against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.US President Donald Trump shows a chart highlighting arms sales to Saudi Arabia during a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington on March 20, 2018.

Iran reports ‘large-scale’ cyberattack on government institutions-Government spokesman asserts no significant damage caused; unconfirmed reports say Iranian ports, banking system also targeted-By TOI staff-oct 14,20-Today, 5:00 pm 0

Iran on Wednesday reported a “large-scale” cyberattack against two unspecified government institutions.A spokesperson quoted by the official IRNA news agency said the attack did not cause any significant damage and was being investigated. He said the country has dealt with larger attacks in the past.Unconfirmed reports in Iranian media earlier pointed to possible attacks on ports and banking, according to US-funded Radio Farda.Government officials told Iranian media outlets: “Despite rumors circulating in cyberspace and some media outlets, there has been no evidence of widespread attacks on various government agencies.”The reports came after a major cyberattack in May at Iran’s Bandar Abbas port that was blamed on Israel.

(Iran Ports and Maritime Organization)-Israel has long accused Iran of using the port for military purposes to aid terrorists elsewhere in the Middle East, including the Jewish state’s foes Hamas and Hezbollah, with the IDF intercepting some of the shipments.The May attack attributed to Israel was apparently in response to an alleged Iranian attempt to hack into Israel’s water infrastructure system.According to a New York Times report in May, the port was specifically chosen as a non-central target with the goal of sending a message more than to inflict actual damage, the report said.Israel’s security firms and agencies have reportedly been preparing for a potential Iranian or Iran-linked cyberattack in response to the attack on the port.Agencies contributed to this report.

Heavy rain reveals remains of Romanian Jewish cemetery destroyed by fascists-Oldest tombstones in Iasi gravesite, destroyed by Nazi allies in 1943, date back to 1467-By Cnaan Liphshiz-oct 14,20-Today, 6:38 am

JTA — Heavy rainfall in northeastern Romania exposed an underground chamber full of headstones from a Jewish cemetery that was destroyed in 1943.The cave was exposed last week at Tatarasi Park in the city of Iasi, which is near the site where allies of the Nazis stole thousands of headstones from the ancient Ciurchi Street Jewish Cemetery.The downpour caused the ceiling of the cache to collapse, exposing fragments from dozens of ornate headstones. The oldest documented graves in the cemetery date to 1467, historian Adrian Cioflancc wrote on Facebook Sunday.The cemetery, which had more than 20,000 graves, was razed on orders from Ion Antonescu, Romania’s wartime prime minister. The Jews of Bucharest were allowed to move thousands of bodies to another cemetery, but thousands more were desecrated. The headstones removed were used as construction material on orders from Iasi’s mayor, Constantin Ifrim.In 1941, Iasi was the site of one of the most infamous pogroms of the Holocaust, in which about 15,000 Jews died.

US Supreme Court nominee Barrett bats away tough Democratic confirmation probing-Amy Coney Barrett fields questions on abortion, health care and a possible disputed-election fight, largely avoiding specifics and vowing to make decisions ‘as they come-By LISA MASCARO, Mark Sherman and Laurie Kellman-oct 14,20-Today, 2:50 am

 WASHINGTON (AP) — US Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett batted away Democrats’ skeptical questions Tuesday on abortion, health care and a possible disputed-election fight over transferring presidential power, insisting in a long and lively confirmation hearing she would bring no personal agenda to the court but decide cases “as they come.”The 48-year-old appellate court judge declared her conservative views with often colloquial language, but refused many specifics. She declined to say whether she would recuse herself from any election-related cases involving US President Donald Trump, who nominated her to fill the seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and is pressing to have her confirmed before the November 3 election.“Judges can’t just wake up one day and say I have an agenda — I like guns, I hate guns, I like abortion, I hate abortion — and walk in like a royal queen and impose their will on the world,” Barrett told the Senate Judiciary Committee during its second day of hearings.“It’s not the law of Amy,” she said. “It’s the law of the American people.Barrett returned to a Capitol Hill mostly locked down with COVID-19 protocols, the mood quickly shifting to a more confrontational tone from opening day. She was grilled by Democrats strongly opposed to Trump’s nominee yet unable to stop her. Excited by the prospect of a conservative judge aligned with the late Antonin Scalia, Trump’s Republican allies are rushing ahead to install a 6-3 conservative court majority for years to come.The president seemed pleased with her performance. “I think Amy’s doing incredibly well,” he said at the White House departing for a campaign rally.US President Donald Trump speaks with reporters as he walks to Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, October 13, 2020. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)-Trump has said he wants a justice seated for any disputes arising from his heated election with Democrat Joe Biden, but Barret testified she has not spoken to Trump or his team about election cases. Pressed by panel Democrats, she skipped past questions about ensuring the date of the election or preventing voter intimidation, both set in federal law, and the peaceful transfer of presidential power. She declined to commit to recusing herself from any post-election cases without first consulting the other justices.“I can’t offer an opinion on recusal without short-circuiting that entire process,” she said.A frustrated Senator Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the panel, all but implored the nominee to be more specific about how she would handle landmark abortion cases, including Roe v. Wade and the follow-up Pennsylvania case Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which confirmed it in large part.“It’s distressing not to get a good answer,” Feinstein told the judge.Barrett was unmoved. “I don’t have an agenda to try to overrule Casey,” she said. “I have an agenda to stick to the rule of law and decide cases as they come.”She later declined to characterize the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion as a “super-precedent” that would not be overturned.The committee chairman, Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, opened the day-long session under coronavirus restrictions that kept it off limits to in-person attendance by members of the public.Committee Chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., listens during the confirmation hearing for US Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, October 13, 2020. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, Pool)Republicans have been focused on defending Barrett and her Catholic faith against possible criticism concerning issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage, and Graham asked if she would be able to shelve her personal beliefs to adhere to law.“I have done that,” she said. “I will do that still.”He said, “I will do everything I can to make sure that you have a seat at the table. And that table is the Supreme Court.”The Senate, led by Trump’s Republican allies, is pushing Barrett’s nomination to a quick vote before November 3, and ahead of the latest challenge to the “Obamacare” Affordable Care Act, which the Supreme Court is to hear a week after the election. Democrats warn that she would be a vote to undo the law and strip health coverage from millions of Americans.“I’m not hostile to the ACA,” Barrett told the senators. She distanced herself from her past writings perceived as critical of the Obama-era health care law, saying those pieces were not addressing specific aspects of the law as she would if confirmed to the court. “I’m not here on a mission to destroy the Affordable Care Act.”She appeared stumped when Senator Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, tried to put her on the spot about several details of the health care law’s effects. She could not recite specifics, including that 23 million people are covered by the law or that more than 2 million young people are on their parents’ health insurance.The Indiana judge, accompanied by her family, described herself as taking a conservative, originalist approach to the Constitution. A former law professor, she told the senators that while she admires Scalia, her conservative mentor for whom she once clerked, she would bring her own approach.“You would not be getting Justice Scalia, you would be getting Justice Barrett,” she said.US Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett listens during a confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, October 13, 2020. (Erin Schaff/The New York Times via AP, Pool)-Senators probed her views on gun ownership, gay marriage and racial equity, at one point drawing an emotional response from the mother of seven, whose children include two adopted from Haiti, as she described watching the video of the death of George Floyd at the hands of police.“Racism persists,” she said, adding that Floyd’s death had a “very personal” effect on her family and that she and her children wept over it. But she told Senator Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, that “making broader diagnoses about the problem of racism is kind of beyond what I’m capable of doing as a judge.Republicans were thrilled when she held up a blank notebook, apparently showing she had been fielding questions without aid.Overall, Barrett’s conservative views are at odds with the late Ginsburg, a liberal icon and champion of womens’ rights.While Ginsburg testified at her 1993 confirmation hearing that the decision to have a child is one a woman “must make for herself,” Barrett says as a judge she must reserve opinions, despite having made her anti-abortion views known before joining the bench.“You would be the polar opposite of Justice Ginsburg,” said Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota.Barring a dramatic development, Republicans appear to have the votes to confirm Barrett to a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court, and they spent their time portraying her as a thoughtful judge with impeccable credentials. She would be Trump’s third justice on the court.Underscoring the Republicans’ confidence, Graham set an initial committee vote on the nomination for Thursday, the last day of hearings, which would allow final approval by the panel one week later and a vote for confirmation by the full Senate on October 26.Protesters rallied outside the Senate building, unable to come inside the hearing room.Other issues aside, Democrats are outraged that Republicans are moving so quickly, having refused to consider President Barack Obama’s nominee after Scalia’s death in February 2016, citing the upcoming vote, well before that year’s election.

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 NY Koen Group owner Naum Koen. (YouTube)-“Our highly experienced 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 left) Bahrain Foreign Minister Abdullatif al-Zayani, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan, during the Abraham Accords signing ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House, September 15, 2020.

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 2,700-year-old limestone two shekel weight. (Shai Halevi, Israel 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 companies, GenCell and PO-CellTech.Bringing the price down-In a 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: Dr. Hen Dotan, Prof. Avner Rothschild, Dr. Avigail Grader and Prof Gideon Grader of the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. (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 collaborating with Prof. Kevin Redding of the University of Arizona and students Andrey Kanygin and Yuval Milrad, on a method of tapping plants 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 of Tel Aviv University examines a photobioreactor during research into 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 screenshot)-At the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, a team led 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 electric airplane model at the Israel Fuel Choices Initiative summit in 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 boarding the plane before leaving Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 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 Al-Nahyan, Bahrain Foreign Minister Abdullatif al-Zayani, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and US President Donald Trump, wave on the South Lawn of the White House after they participated in the signing of the Abraham Accords where the countries of Bahrain and the United Arab 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 ceremony to mark the transfer of authority between the outgoing and the newly appointed head of the mission at the UNIFIL headquarters in the southern Lebanese town of Naqoura, Lebanon, Aug. 7, 2018. (AP/Bilal 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 President Michel Aoun, right, meets with David Schenker, US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, at the presidential palace in Baabda, east of Beirut, Lebanon, September 10, 2019. (Dalati Nohra 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 near the Lebanese-Israeli maritime border, unrecognized by Lebanon and the UN, seen from the southern coastal town of Naqoura, Lebanon, July 23, 2010. (AP Photo/Mohammed Zaatari)-The international peacekeeping 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 this report.

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.
