Marking 50 years of settlements, PM vows they will never be uprooted-PM speaks at state ceremony overshadowed by dispute over Supreme Court refusing to send a representative-By Jacob Magid and TOI staff-September 27, 2017, 10:03 pm

Speaking Wednesday at a state ceremony to mark 50 years of Israeli settlements in the West Bank,  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that the Jewish communities in the territory will never be uprooted.“Settlement is important to you in the same way that it is important to me, so I say very clearly: There will be no further uprooting of settlements in the land of Israel,” Netanyahu told the crowd at the event, which was held in the Gush Etzion bloc, a key settlement region that lies south of Jerusalem.The prime minister was joined at the gathering by a roll call of ministers and dignitaries including Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein — but no representative from the Supreme Court after its chief justice, Miriam Naor, balked at sending a representative, saying that the court should not be involved in controversial political events.“The way to make peace is not through uprooting — not of Jews and not of Arabs,” Netanyahu said.“We did not get peace when we uprooted settlements, we got terror and missiles and we will not do that again,” he continued, referring to Israel’s 2005 pullout from the Gaza Strip. “The Gush will always be part of the State of Israel.”“Any territory that falls into the hands of radical Islam becomes the basis for violence, murder and death, and so we will not abandon our national home to danger,” Netanyahu said. “Instead we will strengthen our home with this momentum.”Much of the international community views West Bank settlements as illegal and has frequently tried to pressure Israel to halt construction beyond the Green Line. The Palestinians say the settlement enterprise is one of the major obstacles to reaching a peace deal. Israel says most settlements are legal under Israeli law — though Israel has never extended its sovereignty over the West Bank.Education Minister Naftali Bennett called at the ceremony for Israel to extend its sovereignty to the West Bank.“I don’t take such a step lightly, in order to implement sovereignty, it takes timing and courage,” Bennett said. “There is no better time than now, as it is clear that we are here by right and not by grace.”“There is no better time that this, even if world resists, we shall overcome it,” he added. It [the world] also understands what the Israeli public understands, the Land of Israel will never again be divided!”Edelstein echoed Netanyahu in declaring that removing the settlements would not resolve the conflict with the Palestinians.“It is not the uprooting of settlements that will bring peace. A [settlement construction] freeze is not the way to an agreement. For years we will continue to build and develop our ancestors’ heritage in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria, in the Jordan Valley, on the Golan Heights,” he said, using the biblical names for the West Bank.Culture Minister Miri Regev was also at the ceremony. Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman was absent as he was on a work trip abroad.Naor explained her decision to cancel Justice Neal Hendel’s attendance at ceremony saying it would be inappropriate for the court to attend a political event “devoted to one side.” Her decision drew criticism from right-wing lawmakers led by Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, Liberman and Regev and support from opposition lawmakers including Yesh Atid’s Yair Lapid.

US, others won’t honor Palestinian Interpol notices, top lawmaker says-Amid opposition, Palestinian official says warrants will be used to nab Palestinian criminals, including Abbas rival Dahlan, though Ramallah 'can now sue anyone'-By AP and TOI staff-September 28, 2017, 3:17 am

A top US lawmaker said that Washington won’t honor Palestinian warrants issued through Interpol, though a Palestinian official claimed Ramallah had no plans to use the international policing body to seek the arrest of Israelis, but rather would pursue Palestinian criminals, including a top rival of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.Interpol voted Wednesday to include Palestine as a member state, in a new boost to Palestinian efforts for international recognition and influence amid long-stalled negotiations with Israel for full statehood.The decision drew an angry Israeli reaction and threat of retaliation. It also raised concerns that the Palestinians might use their elevated status to seek the arrests of Israelis.US Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, the top ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he was concerned that the Palestinians would now issue Interpol “red notices,” which the US Justice Department describes as the closest instrument to an international arrest warrant in use today.Cardin said any “red notices” issued by the Palestinians “will not be recognized in many countries, including the United States.”Cardin also told reporters that the Palestinian membership could harm peace efforts.“The international community has a great deal at stake in pursuing the peace process between the Palestinians and the Israelis,” Cardin said. “There’s only one way forward: two states living side by side in peace; a Palestinian state and a Jewish state. To try to use international organizations to advance the cause only sets back that opportunity.”In a statement, Interpol said red notices are not international arrest warrants, but rather act as an alert to member countries, and are issued based on a valid national arrest warrant. Each member country decides how to respond to such a notice and Interpol can’t compel its members to arrest a wanted person who is the subject of a red notice.Omar Awadallah, the head of the UN organizations department in the Palestinian Foreign Ministry, said the Palestinians “now have the right to sue anyone” and could theoretically use their Interpol status to pursue legal steps against Israelis suspected of crimes in Palestinian territory.“But this is a political issue and needs a political decision,” he said.The Palestinians already have been providing evidence in a preliminary war crimes investigation against Israel at the International Criminal Court, another international body they have joined.A senior Palestinian official said there were no plans to sue any Israelis through Interpol. He said the purpose is “to pursue criminals who commit crimes here and escape.”He said one target would be Mohammed Dahlan, a rival of Abbas.Dahlan, convicted in absentia on corruption charges, now lives in exile after a falling out with the Palestinian leader. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was discussing internal Palestinian deliberations.The rivalry between Dahlan and Abbas surfaced in late 2010, when reports of dubious accuracy spread that Dahlan was preparing a putsch against the PA president. The reports, together with critical statements made by Dahlan against Abbas’s sons, led the PA president to make a rapid move that ended with Dahlan’s expulsion from the Palestinian territories in January 2011.Dahlan has been living in the United Arab Emirates since then and trying to set up bastions of support in the Palestinian territories, particularly among the inhabitants of the refugee camps in the West Bank and Gaza.He recently played a key role in brokering an agreement between Gaza-ruling terror group Hamas and Egypt to provide electricity to the impoverished Strip.Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riad Malki hailed Wednesday’s vote as a “victory for law enforcement” and a “voice of confidence in the capacity of law enforcement in Palestine.” He promised to uphold Palestinian commitments to combating crime and strengthening the rule of law.Interpol announced the inclusion of the “State of Palestine” as well as the Solomon Islands on Twitter and its website Wednesday after a vote by its general assembly in Beijing.With the new votes, Interpol will have 192 member countries. Interpol didn’t immediately announce how many members supported Palestinian membership.The Palestine Liberation Organization’s negotiations affairs department said on Twitter that it had received more than 75 percent of the vote.The move was roundly criticized by Israeli leaders and US Jewish organizations.Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah applied for Interpol membership in 2015, and submitted a formal letter this July promising not to use the organization “for any political, military, racial or religious interventions or activities,” and to cooperate with Interpol, according to minutes of the Interpol meeting.The approval vote requires the Palestinians to pay membership dues worth 0.03 percent of the Interpol budget.Interpol, based in Lyon, France, is an international clearing house for arrest warrants and police cooperation against cross-border terrorism, trafficking and other crime.

Saudi women still can’t fly, marry, or leave jail without male consent-From next summer, females in the kingdom will be allowed to drive, but still face the Muslim's world's strictest 'guardianship' restrictions-By Agencies    September 27, 2017, 6:39 pm-TOI

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Women in Saudi Arabia will be allowed to drive as of next summer, following a landmark royal decree, but they still face other hurdles in the ultra-conservative Muslim kingdom.Here’s a look at some of those obstacles:-GUARDIANSHIP LAWS-Under Saudi Arabia’s interpretation of Islamic law, a male guardianship system bars women from traveling abroad, obtaining a passport, marrying or even leaving prison without the consent of a male relative. This consent is also often demanded whenever a woman tries to do any number of things, including rent an apartment, buy a car, open a bank account or take a job.The guardianship system requires a woman to get permission from a male family member for some of the most important and even mundane decisions of her life.That could mean a woman being compelled to ask her younger brother for permission to have a medical procedure.Women are generally not allowed to socialize with males outside their immediate families and can be thrown in prison for such an offence. At the end of their sentence, their male guardian may choose not to sign them out, leaving them in the care of the state. A hole was poked in that restriction last week, with women allowed to enter a sports stadium in Riyadh for Saudi National Day — in a family section, away from single men.As a result of the guardianship laws, women are practically consigned to the status of minors for their entire lives. No other Muslim country enforces such strict guardianship measures.-ABILITY TO SERVE IN TOP GOVERNMENT POSITIONS-There are no women in charge of government ministries in Saudi Arabia and there has been no woman ruler since the kingdom’s founding in 1932. Saudi women can, however, run and vote in local elections though ultimate power resides with the throne. The same day as the driving decree, Saudi Arabia also announced its first spokeswoman for its embassy in Washington, a high-profile role.-SEGREGATION OF THE SEXES-Saudi Arabia’s enforcement of gender segregation means women cannot attend sporting matches or sit in restaurants that do not have separate “family” sections. These rules also impact the ability of some employers to hire women where segregated office spaces are not available. Privately, the segregation rules often relegate women to the home unless a male relative, such as a father or brother, is available to escort them outside. Many conservative families also bar male cousins from seeing their female cousins past childhood age.-RULES ON WHAT THEY CAN WEAR-Women in Saudi Arabia must wear long, loose robes known as abayas in public. Most also cover their hair and face with a black veil, though exceptions are made for visiting dignitaries.In Riyadh, some Saudi women have started showing their faces, a change in the conservative capital where most show only their eyes — if that. Expatriate women, once obliged to veil, now get away with only an abaya.-DIVORCE, MARRIAGE AND OTHER ISSUES-If a woman divorces her husband, she cannot travel abroad with their children without the permission of the father, who remains the children’s legal guardian. Women cannot provide consent for their daughters to marry, or pass their nationality to their children. Women also are not afforded equal inheritance rights nor are they guaranteed custody of children after the age of seven or eight years old.Women are also restricted in marriage. In addition to the Islamic restriction found in most Arab countries preventing Muslim women from marrying non-Muslims, Saudi Arabia’s Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Issuing Fatwas (religious decrees) — a governmental body — has ruled a Sunni woman should not marry a “Shiite man or a communist (atheist).”

Netanyahu to US envoy: PA actions harming chances for peace-PM tells Greenblatt that Abbas's failure to condemn Har Adar terror attack, Palestine joining Interpol, and the PA's bid to try Israel at the ICC all undermine negotiations-By TOI staff-September 27, 2017, 8:08 pm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Wednesday with US special peace envoy Jason Greenblatt, and told him that the actions of the Palestinian leadership in the past few days seriously harmed any chance for reaching a peace deal.Netanyahu told Greenblatt, and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman who also attended the meeting in Jerusalem, that the refusal of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to condemn Tuesday’s terror attack in Har Adar, in which three Israelis were killed and a fourth injured, gravely undermined the prospects of achieving an accord.In addition, two other international political steps by the Palestinians in the past week showed that the Palestinian leadership was trying to avoid direct negotiations with Israel, he said. Netanyahu highlighted the PA’s successful bid to join Interpol and its efforts to bring Israel before the International Criminal Court.Earlier on Wednesday at Interpol’s annual General Assembly in Beijing, the Palestinians’ membership bid was accepted.According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu told the US envoy that the PA’s membership at Interpol violated past agreements the Palestinians have signed with Israel.A year ago, following a failed Palestinian bid to join Interpol, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a joint statement with the Israel Police that it was an attempt to avoid negotiations with Israel.“This attempt forms part of the ongoing Palestinian campaign to evade direct negotiations with Israel and to continue the conflict with Israel inside professional international bodies in a way that disrupts these bodies’ work,” the statement said.Last week Palestinian human rights lawyers and activists handed a 700-page dossier to the International Criminal Court alleging that Israeli authorities are responsible for crimes including apartheid and persecution in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.While rejecting the claims against it, Israel also views the appeal to the ICC as an attempt by the Palestinians to be recognized as a de facto state, which prejudices any future negotiations.“The actions of the Palestinian leadership in recent days severely impairs the chances of achieving peace,” the statement from Netanyahu’s office said, adding that “the Palestinian diplomatic warfare would not go unanswered.”Netanyahu also asked Israel’s ambassador to the US Ron Dermer, who attended the meeting, to look into whether the PA’s most recent effort to have Israel prosecuted for committing alleged war crimes against Palestinians at The Hague violates US law, which would lead to the closure of PA offices in Washington DC.

IDF team heads home as Mexico quake rescue mission ends-Rescuers spent a week looking for trapped survivors buried under rubble, surveying 158 buildings damaged in deadly Mexico City temblor-By Stuart Winer and AP-TOI-September 28, 2017, 5:37 am

The IDF said Wednesday that the delegation sent to Mexico to help find victims of buried under rubble from a devastating earthquake would return to Israel.The team was scheduled to arrive back in the country on Thursday, the army said in a statement.They ended their time in the central American country with a ceremony at which they were thanked for their search and rescue operation and recovery efforts following a 7.1-magnitude quake on September 19 that killed over 300 people and collapsed buildings all over Mexico City.During their time in Mexico the team engaged in efforts to find trapped survivors, locate missing people. The team also surveyed 158 buildings including hospitals, schools, kindergartens, and government offices to find whether they remained structurally sound after the quake, the statement said.The Israeli delegation was one of the first foreign groups to arrive in Mexico City, touching down on September 21.The Mexican government, which had requested Israeli assistance, specified two areas in which it needed help: search and rescue operations alongside local authorities, and mapping of the city’s buildings to determine which were structurally sound and which would need to be demolished.The delegation was made up of 71 soldiers, mostly reservists, from the army’s Home Front Command. Approximately half were engineers, while the rest came from search and rescue, logistics and medical units. It was led by Col. Dudi Mizrachi.Speaking to The Times of Israel on the phone from Mexico, Col. (res.) Gili Shenhar said the delegation reached Mexico in “record time,” arriving in the country less than 48 hours after the initial earthquake.The IDF delegation focused only on Mexico City, a sprawling “mega city” home to some 9 million people, with a total of 21 million living in the metropolitan area, Shenhar said.The Mexican capital was one of the areas hit hardest by the earthquake, but the IDF colonel said most of the city was largely “up and running” as of Sunday. Electricity, water, public transportation services have returned to most of the city, and the international airport also reopened.While the search-and-rescue operation was perhaps the more eye-catching aspect of the delegation’s mission, its primary mission was to help local officials assess the structural integrity of Mexico City’s buildings.Most of the city’s structures were unharmed, but others will need reconstructive work to make them safe again and a smaller number will need to be torn down entirely and rebuilt, Shenhar said.Authorities on Wednesday raised the death toll in the qauke to 338.National Civil Defense chief Luis Felipe Puente reported on Twitter that the dead included 199 in Mexico City.He said there were also 74 in Morelos state, 45 in Puebla state, 13 in the State of Mexico, six in Guerrero state and one in Oaxaca state.The quake collapsed at least 38 buildings in the capital, and search efforts were continuing at some sites.It followed the even stronger earthquake less than two weeks earlier off the country’s southern Pacific coast that especially hit Chiapas and Oaxaca. That one killed nearly 100 people.President Enrique Pena Nieto said Wednesday that preliminary accounting of the damage caused by the two earthquakes could cost upward of $2 billion.Pena Nieto stressed that damage assessments were continuing, especially in hard-hit Mexico City. But preliminary estimates put repairing and rebuilding schools in several states and the capital at nearly $750 million.Repairing and rebuilding homes will be $550 million. Damage to cultural sites could reach $440 million.The government is making direct electronic transfers to victims of a magnitude 8.1 earthquake and aftershocks in Chiapas and Oaxaca to the tune of $356 million so they can begin repairing their homes.“I hope that in the new year we will be able to have also a new Mexico, rebuilt and in normal conditions,” Pena Nieto said.

PM to settler leaders: US told Israel not to be a pig on settlement building’-In meeting with Yesha Council, Netanyahu says DC will tolerate limited construction, won't distinguish between blocs and isolated settlements; Trump to present peace plan soon-By Jacob Magid and Alexander Fulbright-September 27, 2017, 4:47 pm-TOI

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told settler leaders on Wednesday that US officials told his chief of staff to not be a “pig” on new settlement construction and that the Trump administration is prepared to tolerate limited settlement building, a senior settler present at the meeting said.“It’s okay to be a pig but not to be a hazer,” Netanyahu said, relaying a message he said his chief of staff was given and using the Yiddish word for pig, the official from the Yesha Council settlement umbrella group told The Times of Israel.During the closed-door meeting, Netanyahu said he successfully convinced the Trump administration to drop its distinction between settlement blocs and so-called isolated settlements.Settlement blocs are defined as large built-up areas, mostly located near the pre-1967 Green Line, while isolated settlements are located in more far-flung areas of the West Bank surrounded by large Palestinian populations.Netanyahu also said that the US has refrained from criticizing Israel over settlement construction due to Israel’s adherence to self-imposed limitations on new building.The Yesha official said Netanyahu reiterated his promise to build 300 new homes in Beit El, which he had promised following the demolition of a number of homes in the settlement in 2012.While Netanyahu did not directly address a series of demands for new settlement building and infrastructure, he said 3,330 new units would be approved for construction during the next meeting of the Civil Administration Higher Planning Committee on October 16, according to the Yesha official.Netanyahu also told settler leaders that he believes US President Donald Trump will soon present a plan for the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.During the meeting, settler leaders called for lifting an Obama-era “freeze” on new construction in the West Bank and to complete “the building gaps that were delayed during the eight-year freeze of the Obama administration.”Specifically, the group called for advancing the construction of 10,000 housing units in the settlements of Negohot and Migron, as well in the mostly Arab West Bank city of Hebron, according to a statement from the Yesha Council.Despite the claim of a building “freeze” during the presidency of Barack Obama, data from the Central Bureau of Statistics shows there was an average of 1,725.5 housing starts a year during his tenure, 100 less than the average of 1,828.75 housing starts a year when Republican George W. Bush was president.The settler leaders also called on Netanyahu to end the “discrimination” and “neglect” of infrastructure in the West Bank.“In Judea and Samaria there is a years-long neglect of everything connected to the development of public transportation, water, electricity gas,” the Yesha Council said.The group also called for the construction of additional bypass roads in the West Bank and said the infrastructure development would benefit the area’s Jewish and Palestinian residents.The Prime Minister’s Office said during the meeting, which it described as a toast for the Jewish new year, settler leaders “thanked Prime Minister Netanyahu and praised him for his action on behalf of settlement in Judea and Samaria.”The sit-down came ahead of an event later Wednesday in the Etzion settlement bloc celebrating 50 years of settlement in the West Bank and Golan Heights.Netanyahu is set to speak at the ceremony in what will be the fourth event in the West Bank that the prime minister has addressed in the last three months.

Repeal of women driving ban tests Saudi reform drive-Crown Prince Mohammed's 'Vision 2030' plan seeks to introduce economic and social change despite conservative opposition-By Anuj Chopra-September 27, 2017, 4:57 pm-TOI

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AFP) — Saudi Arabia’s historic lifting of a ban on women driving will be a litmus test for its king-in-waiting, who has sought to sideline the kingdom’s arch-conservatives as he accelerates reforms, analysts say.The kingdom will issue driving licenses to women from next June, in the most striking reform yet credited to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, despite the risk of a backlash from hardliners.But after his recent crackdown on dissenters, including prominent clerics with huge followings, experts say the prince may face only a muted opposition.“The lifting of a ban… will likely serve as a litmus test for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s ability to introduce economic and social reforms despite conservative opposition,” said James Dorsey, a fellow at Singapore’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.“If last week’s national day celebrations in which women were allowed to enter stadiums in anything to go by, the opposition is likely to be limited to protests on social media.”On Saturday, women were allowed for the first time into a sports stadium to mark national day, a move that chimes with the Prince Mohammed’s “Vision 2030” reform plan.Men and women also danced in the streets to drums and thumping electronic music, in scenes that were a stunning anomaly in a country known for its tight gender segregation and austere vision of Islam.This gambit to loosen social restrictions in the ultra-conservative society was made possible partly by the latest crackdown, which was seen as a show of force by Prince Mohammed, experts say.Jamal Khashoggi, a prominent Saudi journalist and former government advisor who went into exile in the United States, described a new Saudi era of “fear, intimidation, arrests and public shaming” in an article published in The Washington Post.-‘Assertion of power’-Those arrests were not directly related to the driving ban, but apparently to an ongoing crisis with Gulf rival Qatar, said Jane Kinninmont from London-based Chatham House.“But the arrests represented an assertion of power over the independent, politically influential clerics and sent a message that Prince Mohammed does not see himself as beholden to them as partners in government,” Kinninmont told AFP.“The fact that they have been arrested without significant unrest being triggered is likely to have made the Saudi leadership more confident that it can make (social) change without much in the way of opposition.”Prince Mohammed is set to be the first millennial to occupy the throne, in a country where half the population is under 25, when he takes over from his 81-year-old father King Salman.“I think Prince Mohammed is ideologically committed to taking the Saudi state in a new direction: less austere, more nationalist,” said Kristin Diwan, from the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington.Unlike previous rulers, he has shown a willingness to tackle entrenched Saudi taboos, and is seen as catering to the aspirations of youth with an array of entertainment options and promoting more women in the workforce.“Women should obviously have had the right to drive a long time ago -– the fact that this decision was so long in coming shows just how much has changed in Saudi Arabia with Prince Mohammed now wielding executive authority,” said Perry Cammack, a fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.-‘Discriminatory practices’-But hardliners could still emerge as a potent threat.Many Saudis on social media, irked by the mixing of genders on national day, derisively compared the country to “Las Vegas.”“Patriotism does not mean sin” became a widely used hashtag, while some called for the religious police, whose powers have been curtailed in recent years, to restore moral order.The government has sought to downplay their influence, saying that most senior clerics in the kingdom “agree that Islam does not ban women from driving.”But aside from religious hardliners, women also face opposition from a conservative society that is unaccustomed — or fundamentally opposed — to women drivers.Under the country’s guardianship system, a male family member — normally the father, husband or brother — must grant permission for a woman’s study, travel and other activities.It was unclear whether women would require their guardian’s permission to apply for a driving license.“If by June next year women in Saudi Arabia are driving the streets without fear of arrest, then this will be a cause for celebration,” said Philip Luther, from Amnesty International.“But it is just one step. We also need to see a whole range of discriminatory laws and practices swept away.”

In blow to Israel, Interpol admits Palestine as full member-75 of 133 voting member states back Ramallah's membership bid in secret ballot, despite vociferous Israeli and US objections-By Raphael Ahren-September 27, 2017, 11:52 am-TOI

In a stinging diplomatic defeat for Israel, the world’s largest international police organization on Wednesday accepted the “State of Palestine” as a full member.At Interpol’s annual General Assembly in Beijing, the Palestinians’ membership bid was accepted with 75 counties voting yes, 24 voting no, and 34 abstaining.Israel fiercely objected to the Palestinians joining Interpol, arguing that Ramallah’s alleged support for terrorism could hinder rather than aid Interpol’s efforts. The US administration, too, objected to Ramallah’s membership bid and helped Israel lobby against it.Israel had expressed concerns that the PA’s membership in Interpol would result in sensitive information being leaked to Palestinian terror groups. It also reportedly fears Palestinian efforts via Interpol to mount legal challenges, including travel bans and extradition requests, against Israeli army officers and others for alleged war crimes.Shortly after the vote at Interpol’s Executive Committee, Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki welcomed the decision, hailing it as a “victory” for his people.“The State of Palestine considers this membership and the responsibilities that it entails as an integral part of its responsibility towards the Palestinian people and a moral commitment to the citizens of the world,” he said, according to the PA’s official news site Wafa.“Palestine is ready and able to shoulder these obligations and responsibilities as an active partner in the international community, and to contribute effectively and significantly to advancing our common core values as nations,” he added.Maliki stressed that “the State of Palestine will continue to struggle to raise the status and role of Palestine at the international level and defend the rights of our people in security and freedom by all diplomatic and legal means available and including joining the relevant international institutions.”On Monday, PA President Mahmoud Abbas announced he would again put forward a resolution for Palestine to become a full member of the United Nations, after a failed bid in 2011.The Palestine Liberation Organization also celebrated the vote, writing on its Twitter account: “Over 75% of #INTERPOL members just voted in support of #Palestine’s full membership. Congratulations! Alf Mabrouk #Palestine! #Thankyou.”The Foreign Ministry and the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem did not immediately comment on the matter. The Israel Police declined to comment on how the move may affect Israeli cooperation with the international body.In the first official Israeli response, Environmental Affairs Minister Zeev Elkin urged the government to immediately suspend all commitments and goodwill gestures to the PA the cabinet had agreed to implement over the last two years. “One cannot wage war against us and incite against us here and in the world and at the same time enjoy gestures from the State of Israel,” he said in a statement.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has in recent weeks repeatedly declared that Israel’s standing in the international community has never been better and that the Arabs’ automatic majority is quickly eroding.“We have many friends,” he declared Sunday.But Wednesday’s Interpol vote can be seen as a bitter defeat for Israel’s diplomatic efforts. Since Palestine was admitted to Interpol in a secret ballot, Israeli officials cannot argue in this case that the world’s nations secretly support the Jewish state even if they are still unwilling to openly side with it.New member countries State of Palestine and Solomon Islands bring INTERPOL's membership to 192. #INTERPOLGA pic.twitter.com/9LaggaQ6op-— INTERPOL (@INTERPOL_HQ) September 27, 2017-Last year, Israel successfully prevented the Palestinians from joining Interpol, with 62 members of the Executive Committee voting to postpone the request. The PA’s first request in 2015 was rejected by Interpol on the grounds that it was submitted too late for discussion by that year’s assembly.But this year, Palestinians upped their diplomatic efforts to secure membership in the world body. PA police chief head Hazem Atallah met Interpol’s Secretary General Jurgen Stock in Lyon, France, last month to campaign for membership.The Solomon Islands on Wednesday also became full members of Interpol, bringing the number of member states up to 192.Interpol, the world’s biggest international organization after the United Nations, enables member states to exchange intelligence and to work together to find ways to cope with international crime, from terrorism to human trafficking.Dov Lieber, Raoul Wootliff and Tamar Pileggi contributed to this report.

Iranians rail against Israel at funeral for soldier beheaded by IS-Blaming creation of jihadist group on Jewish state, cleric urges, 'Prepare your missiles for annihilation of Israel,' as crowd chants, 'Death to Israel'-By AP and TOI staff-September 27, 2017, 12:19 pm

Thousands of Iranians called for Israel’s destruction at a funeral Wednesday for a young member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps beheaded by the Islamic State jihadist group in Syria, a killing that has struck a nerve within the Islamic Republic as its forces continue to suffer casualties in Iraq and Syria.The slaying of 25-year-old Mohsen Hojaji captured the imagination of many in Iran, a Shiite-ruled nation whose national religion holds sacred acts of mourning and the acknowledgement of sacrifices. Since his death, artists and others have memorialized Hojaji in videos and paintings, while discussion of his slaying has muted domestic criticism of Iran’s foreign military operations, especially in Syria.A cleric at the funeral alleged that Israel and the US were behind IS, drawing cries of “Death to Israel” and “Down with the US” from the audience.“We swear on blood of Hojaji we will not rest until destroying Israel,” cleric Ali Reza Pahanhian said from the podium. “Israel, we swear on the head of Hojaji that we will behead your leaders. Guards! Prepare your missiles for annihilation of Israel.”Hojaji’s funeral in Tehran brought Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who prayed near his Iranian-flag-wrapped casket. Many current and former government officials, including parliament speaker Ali Larijani and former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, were also in attendance.Mourners lay flowers atop his coffin, while on the street soldiers with the paramilitary IRGC mixed with men wearing black and women in long black chadors. Many carried drawn portraits of Hojaji, while others unfurled the black flags common during Muharram, a Shiite mourning period.Members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps hold on to the casket of Mohsen Hojaji, a young member of the IRGC who was beheaded in Syria by the Islamic State, at a funerary procession for him at Imam Hossein Square in the capital Tehran on September 27, 2017. Hojaji is one of many IRGC members and volunteers to be killed in Iraq while advising Shiite militias battling IS or in Syria, where Iranian forces backed embattled President Bashar Assad.But while IS group tried to use Hojaji’s capture and subsequent beheading as propaganda, many in Iran saw it differently. An image of Hojaji from an IS video, showing him stoically standing after his capture with smoke rising behind him in the Syrian desert, inspired a sense of patriotism in an Iran in which some have grown tired of its military operations abroad.“Look at the photo, there is no sign of weakness despite him being shot and captured,” his 23-year-old widow Zahra Abbasi earlier told Iranian media. “There is no fear in the eyes. It is all bravery, courage. He is like a mountain.”Graphic artist Hassan Rouholamini took the frame and reimagined it with Hojaji being welcomed by the third Shiite saint, Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. Hussein himself was beheaded at the Battle of Karbala in present-day Iraq in the 7th century, an event Iranians will mark with this week’s coming Ashoura commemoration.Khamenei himself even referred to Hojaji as a “dear martyr” in a speech.“God emboldened Hojaji as an evidence of numerous young people” willing to fight and be killed defending Islam, the supreme leader said.A few hours before Martyr #Hojaji's funeral, Ayatollah Khamenei attended the Martyr's body to recite Fatiha & ask God to elevate his status. pic.twitter.com/l3llPV4MUo— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) September 27, 2017-Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, a so-called moderate cleric who himself criticized the IRGC in his re-election campaign, also praised Hojaji for showing how Iranian people are ready to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.Hojaji’s death has caused a rare unity across hardliners, moderates and reformists within Iran. Many activists, artists, athletes, celebrities and politicians, including Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, have offered condolences and expressed sympathy.His death also has silence some criticism of Iran’s foreign military operations, especially in Syria. In May, Tehran’s former reformist mayor, Gholamhossein Karbashchi, said in a public speech that diplomacy rather than military presence can solve the problems in Syria.Hojaji’s body was first taken to Iran’s holy city of Mashhad for a blessing in the shrine of Imam Reza, the eight Shiite Imam. He will be interred Thursday his hometown of Najafabad, some 400 kilometers (250 miles) south of Tehran.

Security forces map Har Adar terrorist’s home for demolition-Troops dismantle mourning tent in Palestinian assailant's village as part of operations in wake of attack in which 3 Israelis killed-By Alexander Fulbright-September 27, 2017, 10:36 am-TOI

Israeli security forces early Wednesday mapped the home of a terrorist who on Tuesday shot dead three Israeli guards at Har Adar ahead of its demolition.In addition to mapping Nimer Mahmoud Ahmad Jamal’s home in the Palestinian village of Bayt Surik, security forces dismantled a mourning tent for him, and also arrested a number of his family members, the Israel Defense Forces said.It was not immediately clear which family members were arrested. On Tuesday the IDF and Border Police arrested two of Jamal’s brothers after sealing off Bayt Surik. Reports in Palestinian media said Jamal’s father was also arrested.The IDF said that during the overnight operation in Bayt Surik and Biddu, both of which are near Har Adar, security forces confiscated “terror money” and carried out searches for illegal weapons.The army also said that in the wake of the attack, “forces will continue to operate in the area in order to prevent terror, and maintain safety and order alongside security and quality of life.”During the attack, 37-year-old Jamal took a pistol out of his shirt and shot at a group of security officers who were opening the back gates of Har Adar to Palestinian laborers.One border police officer, Solomon Gavriyah, 20, and two private security guards — Youssef Ottman, 25, of the nearby Arab Israeli community of Abu Ghosh, and Or Arish, 25, of Har Adar — were killed in the attack.All three were buried later in the day.In response to the attack, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel would demolish Jamal’s home and rescind the work permits held by his relatives, while Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s Yisrael Beytenu party said it would revive a bill that would apply the death penalty to convicted terrorists.In the overnight raid’s, security forces also confiscated thousands of shekels of “terror money” near Qalqilya and the Jenin refugee camp, the IDF said.The army said 15 suspects were arrested throughout the West Bank, including three for “popular terrorism,” a catchall term used by security forces to denote violent rioting such as rock throwing and tire burning.The IDF also said the entirety of Hebron’s Tomb of the Patriarchs was opened to Jewish visitors and that some 10,000 Jews, among them Israel’s chief rabbis, visited the holy site for pre-Yom Kippur overnight services.The Tomb of the Patriarchs, which is considered holy in both Judaism and Islam, has been divided between Jewish and Muslim worshipers since 1994, when an American-born Jewish extremist shot and killed 29 Palestinian worshipers.In addition, the army said it escorted Jewish worshipers to the Shalom Al Yisrael synagogue in the Palestinian city of Jericho, during which Palestinians threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at security forces.The IDF said one Palestinian was lightly injured when security forces responded with fire.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Border cop, 2 security guards named as victims of Har Adar shooting attack-Policeman Solomon Gavriyah of Be'er Yaakov, Youssef Ottman of Abu Ghosh, and local man Or Arish were checking Palestinian laborers when terrorist opened fire-By TOI staff-September 26, 2017, 1:40 pm

The three Israelis killed in a terror attack at the Har Adar settlement Tuesday were named as border policeman Solomon Gavriyah, 20, and civilian security guards Youssef Ottman, 25, from Abu Ghosh and Or Arish, 25, a resident of Har Adar.A third civilian — the head security officer of Har Adar — was seriously injured in the attack. He underwent surgery at the Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem in Jerusalem after suffering two bullet wounds and his condition was later described as stable and moderate.According to police, the assailant arrived at the rear entrance of the settlement northwest of Jerusalem and opened fire on a group of security personnel, including Border Police officers and the community’s private guards, who were opening the entrance to Palestinian workers.Gavriyah was from the central Israeli community of Be’er Yaakov. He was posthumously promoted to staff sergeant. Police said in a statement that he had joined the Border Police for his mandatory national service and had recently been serving as a policeman in the Jerusalem seam area along the boundary with the West Bank.He will be buried at 5 p.m. in the Be’er Yaakov military cemetery. He is survived by his parents, two sisters and a brother.Ottman was a resident of the Arab Israeli community of Abu Ghosh, close to Har Adar. He was expected to be buried later in the day in his hometown.Arish’s funeral was scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at the Givat Shaul cemetery in Jerusalem.Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan tweeted that he had spoken with the mayor of Abu Ghosh about Ottman’s death.“I spoke just now with Abu Ghosh Mayor Issa Jaber and I gave my condolences over the murder of security guard Youssef Ottman. The cursed terrorist carried out his plot this morning, but our way will win,” Erdan wrote.In an interview with The Israel Project, Jaber described Ottman as “a quiet guy who got along with everyone.”He said that Ottman came from an established and successful family and that he was survived by his parents and siblings, including a sister who was married last week.“The whole family was celebrating and suddenly, what happened happened,” Jaber said.Ottman, he recalled, didn’t finish high school and found work as a security guard in nearby Jewish settlements.“[Ottman] always extended a helping hand to everyone and especially to the Palestinian workers who came in and out of the community where he worked,” Jaber added.“As human beings we condemn every act of violence on any side; it doesn’t matter if it is Jewish or Arab,” he said.The terrorist, identified as Nimer Mahmoud Ahmad Jamal, a laborer from the nearby Bayt Surik village, was shot and killed by security forces at the scene, police said.The 37-year-old approached the entrance to Har Adar just after 7 a.m. as part of a group of Palestinians who work in the settlement. The Shin Bet domestic security service said he did not have a known history of involvement in terrorist activities.He “aroused the suspicion” of officers on the scene, who called for him to stop. The terrorist then took a pistol out of his shirt and shot at the Israelis, before being gunned down, police said.Gavriyah, the slain Border Police officer, had been lightly injured in the hand during a terror stabbing in the area a year ago.The seriously injured victim was identified as Har Adar’s security coordinator. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds, and was fully conscious when he was taken to the hospital.The head of general surgery at Hadassah Hospital, Alon Pikarsky, who operated on the man, said after the operation that, considering his wounds, the victim was lucky.“The surgery passed well. The injured 33-year-old was hit by a bullet in the shoulder and a bullet in the waist. The bullet hit his spleen and diaphragm and after we dealt with those organs the orthopedic team took out the bullets. He is completely stable, breathing on his own, and is recovering at the moment in the intensive care unit at Hadassah. He really was very lucky.”Police said Jamal, the terrorist, was a father of four who possessed a legal work permit, making him one of only a few Palestinians with such a document to commit a terror attack in recent years.Jamal’s wife had recently left him and the Shin Bet said he suffered from “significant personal and family problems.”

Netanyahu vows to raze Har Adar terrorist’s home, revoke family’s work permits-PM blames 'systematic' Palestinian incitement for deadly shooting, calls on Mahmoud Abbas to condemn attack-By Raphael Ahren-September 26, 2017, 12:18 pmTOI

Israel will demolish the house of the terrorist who on Tuesday morning killed three Israelis and injured a fourth at the Har Adar settlement northwest of Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced several hours after the incident.He blamed the terror attack on “systematic incitement” and called on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to condemn it.“This has been a difficult morning; three Israelis were murdered by a depraved individual,” Netanyahu told his ministers at the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.“While we are still investigating the event and its implications, we can say some things with certainty even now. One: the home of the terrorist will be demolished. Two: the IDF has already cordoned off the village. Three: all work permits for members of the terrorist’s extended family are hereby revoked.”The terrorist, Nimer Mahmoud Ahmed Jamal, a 37-year-old father of four, arrived at the rear entrance of the Har Adar settlement and opened fire on a group of security personnel, including Border Police officers and the community’s private guards, who were opening the entrance to Palestinian workers. The terrorist had a permit to work in Har Adar and had been employed there for several years.A preliminary investigation carried out by the Shin Bet security agency indicated that he had “significant personal and family problems, including those regarding family violence.” His wife had fled to Jordan weeks ago, leaving him with their four children.“This murderous attack is the result of, among other things, systematic incitement by the Palestinian Authority and other elements and I expect Abu Mazen [Abbas] to condemn it and not attempt to justify it,” Netanyahu said.Israel’s security forces will continue to act against the incitement and terror, the prime minister vowed. “And we will, of course, conclude the investigation of the incident and discuss together the next steps.”Minutes after Netanyahu spoke, United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov condemned the attack and urged others to do the same.“It is deplorable that Hamas and others continue to glorify such attacks, which undermine the possibility of a peaceful future for both Palestinians and Israelis. I urge all to condemn violence and stand up to terror,” he said in a statement.Following the attack, the Hamas terror group issued a statement of commendation and said, “Once again Jerusalem proves that it is at the heart of the conflict with the occupation, and that there is no way to get it out of the equation of the conflict.”Great Britain’s ambassador to Israel, David Quarrey, was the first foreign official to denounce the attack, saying there was could be “no possible excuse” for terrorism.We condemn today's horrific attack. Our thoughts are with families of victims. No possible excuse for terrorism anywhere.— David Quarrey (@DavidQuarrey) September 26, 2017-The Red Cross’s local branch also condemned the incident: “We deplore today’s loss of life outside of Jerusalem. Civilians must be entitled to a life free of fear, insecurity and uncertainty,” it wrote on its Twitter account.We deplore today's loss of life outside of Jerusalem. Civilians must be entitled to a life free of fear, insecurity and uncertainty.— ICRC in Israel & OT (@ICRC_ilot) September 26, 2017-Later on Tuesday, the ambassadors of Canada, France and the US also issued condemnations. “Once again, Israelis confront the cruel and evil brutality of unprovoked terrorism. We pray for the victims at Har Adar and their families,” US envoy to Israel David Friedman, wrote on his Twitter account.Once again, Israelis confront the cruel and evil brutality of unprovoked terrorism. We pray for the victims at Har Adar and their families.— David M. Friedman (@USAmbIsrael) September 26, 2017-Several Israeli politicians blamed Palestinian incitement, including Abbas’s speech last week at the UN General Assembly in New York, for the attack, and called for restrictions on the Palestinians in the West Bank.“Mahmoud Abbas incites against Israel in the United Nations and a Palestinian terrorist kills three Israelis and wounds one,” said Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz. “The fact that the terrorist exploited the entry of Palestinian workers into Israel in order to carry out an attack will have serious implications for the ability to employ Palestinians and ease their conditions of passage.”The security of its citizens remains the government’s supreme consideration, “and is above any other consideration of improving and easing the lives of the Palestinians,” Katz added.

Palestinian terrorist hijacker to speak about women’s rights in EU parliament-Leila Khaled invited to Brussels to address event on 'The Role of Women in the Palestinian Popular Resistance'-By JTA-September 26, 2017, 4:55 pm-TOI

BRUSSELS — Leila Khaled, a Palestinian woman convicted of terrorism who has continued to advocate violence against Israelis, is slated to speak at the European Parliament about women’s rights.Khaled, who was invited to Brussels to speak Tuesday by lawmakers representing the far-left Izquierda Unida party from Spain, was arrested by Israeli sky marshals in 1970. She was carrying two grenades while attempting to hijack an El Al flight from Amsterdam with a partner, whom the security officers killed. British authorities released her in exchange for hostages from another hijacking a month after her arrest.She had already hijacked an American passenger plane in 1969, landing it in Damascus, where the two Israeli passengers aboard were held for three months before they were traded for Syrian prisoners of war in Israeli jails.A member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is blacklisted as a terrorist entity by the European Union, Khaled is to be the keynote speaker at an event titled “The Role of Women in the Palestinian Popular Resistance,” a poster advertising the event read.The American Jewish Committee’s Brussels-based Transatlantic Institute condemned the invitation to Khaled, saying that the group is “deeply concerned” by it, and urged the European Parliament’s president to prevent Khaled’s planned arrival to its seat.In a statement, the director of the Transatlantic Institute, Daniel Schwammenthal, said that it was an “utter disgrace that a convicted terrorist is given a platform in the European Parliament to spew her hateful message.”Khaled’s terrorist group “has the blood of innocent victims on their hands,” Schwammenthal added. “It would be a sad irony if Parliament, only days after crucially setting up a special committee on terrorism, were to welcome and lionize as a ‘resistance fighter’ a convicted terrorist,” he also wrote.Anders Vistisen, a vice chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament and a lawmaker from Denmark, on Tuesday told JTA that in recent days he urged the leadership of the European Parliament, whose president is Antonio Tajani, to prevent Khaled from being hosted in parliament.“I was told the parliament’s leadership will neither invite Palestinian terrorists nor prevent them from speaking in parliament if other parties do invite them,” said Vistisen of the Danish People’s Party, which is a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group.This policy means “Palestinian terrorists are free to be hosted in parliament quite regularly,” he said. “It undermines the credibility of the European Parliament,” he added.

Top Iranian general says Kurdish referendum an Israeli ‘plot’-Aide to Iran's supreme leader also claims independence vote in Iraqi Kurdistan a plan hatched by Jerusalem to fuel violence following IS defeat-By TOI staff-September 26, 2017, 4:20 pm

Senior Iranian officials claimed Tuesday the independence referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan a day earlier was a “plot” orchestrated by Israel and the United States.“The Zionist regime and the world arrogance [US] are behind this issue,” the semi-official Fars News Agency quoted the head of the Iranian armed forces, General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri as saying on Tuesday.Iran’s chief of staff General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri speaking at a military parade September 21, 2016 (Screen capture: Press TV) Although Bagheri did not elaborate on Israel’s alleged role, the chief of staff to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed the independence referendum was a “Zionist plot” meant to fuel violence in the Middle East following the battlefield defeats in Iraq and Syria suffered by the Islamic State terror group.“You may rest assured that it is a plot by the Zionist regime under such conditions that the ISIL is collapsing,” Fars quoted Mohammad Golpaigani as saying, using an alternative acronym for IS. Among numerous conspiracy theories posted on Arabic-language and Persian sites are claims that Israel’s Mossad agency is behind the rise of Islamic State.“Now they have raised a new issue in the region,” he added. “[The] referendum and its related issues will cause many problems for the Kurds and the neighboring countries.”In addition to the claims from top Iranian officials Israel is behind the independence vote, Turkish nationalists have said the referendum is meant to create a “second Israel.” Yeni Safak, a conservative Turkish newspaper loyal to Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has pointed to the presence of Israeli flags alongside “so-called Kurdish flags” at rallies organized by the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and claimed that the referendum was part of a Zionist plot.“Israel, using Masoud Barzani and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorist organization as pawns, seeks to obtain the area between the Nile and Euphrates, which is regarded as ‘the promised land’ in the Torah,” said an article entitled “Barzani plans to deliver ‘promised land’ to Israel.”It added, “Zionists call the ‘Kurdistan’ that Barzani and the PKK want to establish as ‘Kurdo-Judaic,’ the ‘Jewish Kurdistan.’”Earlier this month, Turkish media published conspiracy theories claiming that Israel was planning to repatriate Israeli Jews of Kurdish origin to Kurdistan after the referendum.Turkey, Syria and Iran, all of which have their own sizable Kurdish minorities, have all strongly condemned the independence referendum, as has Iraq’s federal government.Erdogan, who has threatened military action over the referendum, said Tuesday “waving Israeli flags will not save you,” according to Channel 10. A number of Kurds in the autonomous region of Iraq were seen waving Israeli flags after Monday’s vote.While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has voiced his backing for Kurdish independence, on Monday he instructed ministers in his government to avoid speaking out about the referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan.Also Monday, Reuters quoted an unnamed Israeli cabinet minister as saying that “Bibi [Netanyahu] asked us not to” comment on the referendum because it was “too sensitive.”Monday’s referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan was openly opposed by both the US and Turkey, who may have pressured Netanyahu not to express support for the vote.Similarly, some Kurdish leaders have balked at overt support from Israel, as they face charges from Arab, Turkish and Iranian leaders that an independent Kurdish state would be a potential “second Israel” — that is, an enemy — in their midst.However, some Kurds have flaunted support from and ties with the Jewish state, waving Israeli flags at pro-independence rallies.Results of Monday’s referendum, which are nonbinding, are set to be announced later Tuesday, with many expecting a resounding “yes” vote.Agencies contributed to this report.

Trump says US captive in North Korea was ‘tortured beyond belief’-Parents of Jewish student Otto Warmbier, who died in June after being released in a coma, call his captors 'terrorists'-By AFP    September 26, 2017, 4:59 pm-TOI

WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump on Tuesday accused North Korea of brutally abusing an American student who had been held captive in North Korea, saying the young man had been “tortured beyond belief.”Otto Warmbier, 22, died in June a few days after he was sent home in a mysterious coma after more than a year in prison in North Korea.Trump had previously blamed Pyongyang’s “brutal regime” for Warmbier’s plight but it was the first time the US president publicly accused North Korea of torture in the case.US officials have said Trump was personally taken aback by Warmbier’s death and his comment Tuesday ratchets up the pressure on Kim Jong-Un’s regime.Warmbier, who was Jewish, had been convicted of offenses against the state for trying to steal a propaganda poster from a Pyongyang hotel and sentenced to 15 years’ hard labor.“Otto was tortured beyond belief by North Korea,” Trump said on Twitter.Great interview on @foxandfriends with the parents of Otto Warmbier: 1994 – 2017.

UN accuses Russian agents of ‘grave violations’ in Crimea-Human Rights Council finds Russia citizenship forced on locals, hundreds of prisoners moved out of country-By AFP-September 25, 2017, 2:07 pmTOI

GENEVA, Switzerland — Russian state agents have committed serious abuses, including torture, in Crimea, the UN said Monday, warning that the rights situation in the annexed peninsula had “significantly deteriorated” under Moscow’s occupation.In a fresh report, the UN human rights agency said it had documented “grave human rights violations, such as arbitrary arrests and detentions, enforced disappearances, ill-treatment and torture, and at least one extra-judicial execution.”Moscow annexed the Black Sea peninsula from Ukraine in March 2014 soon after the overthrow of Ukraine’s pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych following mass protests in Kiev.Many Western countries have imposed sanctions on Russia to punish it for the annexation.In Monday’s report, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights called on Moscow to respect its obligations as an occupying power, demanding that it investigate all cases of alleged torture, abductions and killings involving members of the Russian security forces and Crimean self-defense.“There is an urgent need for accountability for human rights violations and abuses and for providing the victims with redress,” UN rights chief Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said in a statement.Hundreds of prisoners have been illegally transferred from Crimea to Russian prisons, according to the report, which added that at least three detainees had died after not receiving adequate medical care in custody.The report further condemned Moscow’s decision to substitute Ukrainian laws with Russian ones, and also to force people to take Russian citizenship.Civil servants have had to renounce Ukrainian citizenship or be sacked, while Crimea residents who do not legally qualify as Russians have in effect become foreigners in their home area, the rights office said.Such people “cannot own agricultural land, vote and be elected, register a religious community, apply to hold a public meeting, hold positions in the public administration” or even register their car, the UN probe found.“Education in the Ukrainian language has almost disappeared from Crimea,” it added.The rights investigators were not permitted to enter Crimea, so their report is based on interviews conducted from mainland Ukraine.Kiev also accuses Moscow of backing the pro-Russian insurgency in Ukraine’s industrial east in a conflict that has claimed more than 10,000 lives since April 2014.

Knesset panel urges ‘deep change’ in unguided IDF-Foreign affairs and defense subcommittee finds flaws in army's streamlining Gideon Plan, cites lack of national security strategy-By Judah Ari Gross-September 25, 2017, 5:14 pm-TOI
Israel’s lack of a cohesive security strategy over the past five years led to some of the military’s failures in the 2014 Gaza war and continues to challenge the IDF today, a Knesset subcommittee responsible for the country’s overall defense outlook said in a damning report released Monday.The report focused on the IDF’s Gideon Plan, a five-year program that is poised to enter its second year and is meant to streamline the military and ensure its preparedness for the types of conflicts it is liable to confront in the near future.The subcommittee, which is under the Knesset’s powerful Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, looked into both the drafting of the Gideon Plan and its implementation.The report was prepared by the chairman of the subcommittee, Yesh Atid MK Ofer Shelah — a persistent critic of the current government’s security strategy — and by the chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Likud MK Avi Dichter, a former head of the Shin Bet security service, along with five other Knesset members from across the political spectrum.The subcommittee’s central criticism revolved around the fact that the military determined its own needs for the multi-year plan, rather than the political leadership dictating to the army what it needs to do.The report found this situation problematic both for hierarchical reasons and because the military is not necessarily best suited for determining its goals in practice.“Gideon was designed ‘from the bottom up,’ by the IDF and from within it: This is without a written national defense outlook that was approved and presented publicly,” the subcommittee wrote.A public, 30-page version of the report was released on Monday. A full, 54-page classified version, which includes additional information, was also presented to the relevant defense bodies, Dichter said.The report praised certain elements of the implementation of the Gideon Plan, including the military’s increased emphasis on exercises and training for conscripts and reservists. But it also found some areas that might be problematic in the future and need to be closely monitored.Shelah also noted that many aspects of the Gideon Plan have yet to be fully implemented and it is thus impossible to determine if they were successful.Generally, however, the report claimed that while the military has succeeded in crafting an impressive fighting force, it does not always prepare itself for the correct mission.“Over the years, the IDF built a high quality, strong and valuable response — but it does not always address the real need. A deep change is needed in the army, not only in its capabilities but also in its outlook, in order for it to be in line with its true missions,” the subcommittee wrote.In a statement, the IDF responded to the report saying that it received the full report and “a detailed response to its contents has already been sent.”The military said the “lessons of the report will be learned” and that it “praised every process of examination and oversight.”The subcommittee also noted other shortcomings in the Gideon Plan, notably that it does not include the “tectonic shift” that is Russia’s renewed presence in the region, as it was penned before Russian President Vladmir Putin deployed troops in Syria, Shelah said.“What can we do, what do we want, what are our options in a war” are all aspects of the plan that need to be revisited in light of Moscow’s return to the Middle East, the Yesh Atid MK added.The report called for the government to revisit the plan and change it if necessary, as well as to start the process of putting together thoughts for a plan to succeed Gideon, which ends in 2020.“The subcommittee calls for the [government] to immediately begin the process of designing, validation, and approval of a national defense outlook, from which the IDF’s implementation and operational outlook can be taken,” it wrote.“This process needs to be carried out with the prime minister and defense minister at the head of it,” the subcommittee said.Both Dichter and Shelah noted the importance in a democracy of presenting the public with information about the country’s large-scale security strategies.Shelah said that while some aspects of the country’s defense strategies needs to remain classified, “the defense strategy needs to be public.”Jewish Home MK Moti Yogev, who is a member of the subcommittee, did not sign off on the public report, but did on the classified report, as crucial information was left out of the former, which he said gave it a “political bent.”(Likud MK Yoav Kish also did not sign the public version of the document, but he was not present at the announcements of its publication and did not give his reason for not doing so.) Shelah said that more important than the fact that a potentially superior strategic plan may come of his subcommittee’s efforts is the ongoing dialogue between the military and political levels that was required in the writing of the report.To make his point, the Yesh Atid MK cited a quote from former US president and general Dwight Eisenhower that is often repeated by IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot: “Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.”Shelah praised the military for its openness and willingness to cooperate with the subcommittee and for readily providing it with all relevant information. “That doesn’t always happen,” he said.

Netanyahu convenes security cabinet to discuss Iran missile threat-At specially called meeting, prime minister also to brief members on diplomatic progress during his visit to Latin America and the United Nations-By TOI staff-September 24, 2017, 2:36 pm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday called a special meeting of his security cabinet following Iran’s testing of a ballistic missile that can reach Israel over the weekend.The missile test, along with efforts to get world powers to cancel or fix the Iran nuclear deal, were the top priorities at the meeting, Israel Radio reported.Netanyahu also planned to brief the body on his meetings last week in New York during which he held discussions with US President Donald Trump and separately with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.During the gathering, scheduled for 4 p.m., the prime minister was also expected raise the subject of the Iranian military presence in Syria, the Ynet website reported.On Saturday, Iran said it had successfully tested a new medium-range missile, in defiance of warnings from Washington that it is ready to ditch the landmark nuclear deal over the issue.Previous Iranian missile launches have triggered US sanctions and accusations that they violate the spirit of the 2015 nuclear deal.Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman on Saturday called the test a “provocation” to the United States and a threat to the entire free world.“The ballistic missile that was fired by Iran is not only a a provocation and a slap in the face for the United States and its allies — and an attempt to test them — but also further proof of the Iranian ambitions to become a world power and threaten countries in the Middle East and all the countries of the free world,” Liberman said in a statement.“Imagine what would happen if Iran would acquire nuclear weapons. That is what it is striving for. We cannot allow it to happen,” Liberman said.Last Monday, Netanyahu met with Trump,  Netanyahu, focusing on the Iran nuclear deal and the Islamic Republic’s military expansion in the region.Israeli officials have raised their concerns over Iran extending its military influence into Syria –in particular to areas near the border with Israel — by way of its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah that has been fighting on behalf of the Syrian regime as it battles against an insurgency now in its sixth year.During his speech to the UN General Assembly last Tuesday, Netanyahu urged an end to the 2015 nuclear deal between world powers and Iran that saw the lifting of sanctions in return for Tehran curbing its nuclear program to prevent it producing weapons.He also brought it up in his meeting with Trump. After the meeting, the White House said in a statement that the two men had discussed efforts to counter “Iran’s malign influence” in the Middle East, as well as “optimism in the region” about Israeli-Palestinian peace.Trump has threatened to scrap and/or amend the agreement over the issue, saying that Iran’s missile program could give it the technical know-how for a delivery system for a nuclear warhead when a sunset clause in the deal expires in 2025.He is due to report to Congress on October 15 on whether he believes Iran is in compliance with the nuclear deal. If he decides that it is not, it could open the way for renewed US sanctions and perhaps the collapse of the agreement. Trump said on Wednesday he had made his decision, but was not yet ready to reveal it.Trump and Netanyahu also spoke about the moribund peace process with the Palestinians, with Trump telling Netanyahu there was a “good chance” such an accord could happen.Netanyahu also held his first-ever public meeting with Sissi.The two leaders had “a comprehensive discussion about the problems of the region,” according to a readout provided by the Prime Minister’s Office. Sissi “expressed his desire to assist in efforts to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians and the region,” it said.Finally, Netanyahu was expected to brief the security cabinet on his visit to Argentina, Mexico and Colombia, the first visit by an Israeli prime minister to Latin America.Agencies contributed to this report.

Police open probe into Nazi graffiti in Jerusalem-Swastikas, Nazi imperial eagle sprayed on walls of abandoned building in neighborhood of Armon Hanatziv-By TOI staff-September 24, 2017, 12:12 pm

Jerusalem police on Sunday opened an investigation into Nazi graffiti sprayed on an abandoned building in the city’s southeast, police said.Swastikas, the SS symbol, and an image recalling the Nazi Party’s symbol of an imperial eagle sitting atop a swastika, were spray-painted on the walls of the building, close to Adam Street in the Armon Hanatziv neighborhood.A graffiti version of the Nazi imperial eagle sprayed on the wall of an abandoned building in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Armon Hanatziv, September 24, 2017 (Israel Police) In June, an Israeli man was arrested after he painted swastikas in a synagogue and on walls inside a nearby residential building in the central Jerusalem neighborhood of Nahlaot.Also in June, police arrested two Jewish teenagers on suspicion of daubing swastikas on two synagogues in the central town of Petah Tikva.

7 arrested for planning mob hit on Jerusalem resident-Police say criminal underworld suspects installed video camera to track movements of their intended target-By Stuart Winer-September 17, 2017, 5:58 pmTOI

Police on Sunday said they had arrested seven mob members who were planning to carry out a hit on a Jerusalem resident.The arrests came three weeks ago, but details were only now permitted for publication.The seven were from a group known as the “Jerusalem gang.” The suspects, including the alleged leader of the gang Yitzhak Bar-Moha, face charges of conspiracy to commit a crime.The arrests prevented “actual harm to human life, both the man whom the suspects acted against and to innocent passersby who could have been harmed,” the police statement said.Police believe the motive for the attack was a criminal underworld dispute with the intended target that dates back years. The intended victim was not named.The suspects, who come from Yavneh, Tel Aviv and the Beit Safafa neighborhood of Jerusalem, were arrested three weeks ago with their detention being periodically extended. On Sunday the gag order was lifted after they were brought to court, where prosecutors filed preliminary documents ahead of formal charges.The investigation began after an officer from the police central investigations unit noticed two suspects carrying a tool bag who hid behind some bushes at the entrance to a building in the south of the city where their intended target lives. A search of the location found a camera installed on a tree aimed at the gated entrance to the building’s parking lot.Two days later cops noticed the head of the gang surveying the building from his car while accompanied by a resident of Beit Safafa who owns a garage, police said. A few hours later the Beit Safafa resident arrived at the building with a bag and entered the car park. As soon as he came out the suspect was arrested by detectives and on the same evening the rest of those involved were arrested and brought in for questioning, the statement said.Police, concerned that an explosive device may have been planted in the car park, evacuated residents from the building and called in sappers to search the area, but no device was found.Among other things, the suspects installed the video camera and attempted to duplicate the remote control for the gate to the building’s parking lot.Police said that the chain of events and details uncovered during the investigation pointed to an attempted hit on a resident of the building that was prevented by the investigation.Last week police revealed that an undercover agent who was gunned down earlier this year in an apparent gangland murder had successfully infiltrated crime syndicates, foiled plans for a string of attacks and helped gather information that led to the arrest of dozens of suspected underworld criminals.Anton Roman, 43, was found dead in a field in the central Israeli city of Rehovot in June. His body bore signs of serious violence.

Iran parades S-300 air defense missiles amid rocketing tensions-Russian-made batteries make first public appearance in Tehran after Trump calls future of nuke deal into question-By Agencies-September 24, 2017, 7:20 pm-TOI

Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard on Sunday publicly displayed the country’s sophisticated Russian-made S-300 air defense system in central Tehran for the first time.The public show in Tehran’s Baharestan square near the Parliament building square exhibited different missile systems, including ballistic missiles, solid-fuel surface-to-surface Sejjil missiles and the liquid-fuel Ghadr.The IRGC prepared the show for the annual Defense Week, marking the 37th anniversary of the 1980s Iran-Iraq war.Iran has previously shown off parts of the S-300 system.Israel had lobbied Russia against selling Iran the advanced air defense system.On Friday, Iran unveiled a ballistic missile capable of reaching Israel and much of the Middle East, drawing anger from the US.Video of the test firing of a Khoramshahr medium-range ballistic missile aired Friday on Iran’s state TV. The time and location of the test were not mentioned in the report.In response, US President Donald Trump issued Iran a stark warning that cast growing uncertainty over whether a nuclear deal clinched with the Islamic Republic would survive after the latest test.“Iran just test-fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching Israel.They are also working with North Korea. Not much of an agreement we have!” Trump tweeted on Saturday.The test came at the end of a heated week of diplomacy at the UN General Assembly in New York, where Trump again accused Iran of destabilizing the Middle East, calling it a “rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed and chaos.”Previous Iranian missile launches have triggered US sanctions and accusations that they violate the spirit of the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and major powers.Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif told CNN the weapons were only defensive measures, in an interview aired Sunday.Iran, which fought a war with neighboring Iraq in the 1980s, sees missiles as a legitimate and vital part of its defense — particularly as regional rivals Saudi Arabia and Israel import huge amounts of military hardware from the West.Trump has threatened to trash the nuclear agreement altogether, saying Iran is developing missiles that may be used to deliver a nuclear warhead when the deal’s restrictions are lifted in 2025.Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman denounced the test as a “provocation” aimed at the United States and its allies, including the Jewish state.

Iran guards flex muscle ahead of Kurdish independence vote-Troops hold drill near Iranian Kurdish region amid fears of instability over Monday poll; Turkish paper says referendum a Zionist plot-By AP and TOI staff-September 24, 2017, 4:07 pm

Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard launched a military exercise Sunday in its northwestern Kurdish region just ahead of Iraqi Kurds voting in an independence referendum, in a sign of Tehran’s concerns over the vote.Iran also closed its airspace Sunday to flights taking off from Iraq’s Kurdish region following an Iraqi request, “due to the ineffectiveness of our political efforts and the insistence of Kurdistan authorities to hold a referendum.”Iraq’s Kurds are set to vote Monday in a referendum on support for independence. The Kurds are likely to approve the referendum, but the non-binding vote is not expected to result in any formal declaration of independence.The Guard, a paramilitary force answerable only to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said on its website that airborne and missile units would take part in the exercise. State television aired footage of explosions and smoke rising as part of the drill, in the mountains of Iran’s own Kurdish region.“We are holding a drill here,” Gen. Mohammad Pakpour, the commander of the Guard’s ground forces, said in the footage. “God willing, artillery, armored (divisions), drones and commandos will hold a well-coordinated exercise.”Turkey, which is also home to a large Kurdish minority and opposes the vote, is holding military drills near its own border with Iraq.On Saturday, Turkey’s parliament voted to extend a mandate that allows it to deploy troops in Iraq and Syria.A bill read in the Turkish parliament included a reference to the threat of “separatism based on ethnicity,” the Qatari broadcaster Al-Jazeera reported.Iran’s semi-official ISNA news agency reported that the Supreme National Security Council closed Iranian airspace to the Iraqi Kurdish area at the request of the central government in Baghdad.Iran and Iraq have been close allies since the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq toppled dictator Saddam Hussein. Both are opposed to Kurdish independence, and Baghdad has said the referendum is unconstitutional.In a rare moment of agreement, Saudi Arabia has come out on the same side as its arch regional rival, Iran. It has publicly called for the vote not to move forward, citing current regional conditions and the potential for the vote to ignite a new crisis.The 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Sunday also voiced its “deep concern” over the planned referendum, saying it runs against the constitution of Iraq and could have a negative impact on Iraq’s ability to fight terrorism.Monday’s Kurdish referendum has stirred fears of instability across the region as the war against the Islamic State group winds down.The Kurds are likely to approve the referendum, but the non-binding vote is not expected to result in any formal declaration of independence.Initial results from the poll are expected on Tuesday, with the official results announced later in the week.The government in Baghdad has warned it will respond militarily to any violence resulting from the vote.The United States and the United Nations have condemned the referendum as well.Denied independence when colonial powers drew the map of the Middle East after World War I, the Kurds form a sizable minority in Turkey, Iran, Syria, and Iraq.They have long been at odds with the Baghdad government over the sharing of oil revenues and the fate of disputed territories such as the city of Kirkuk, which are expected to take part in the vote.“There are pressures on us to postpone, to engage in dialogue with Baghdad, but we will not go back to a failed experiment,” Masoud Barzani, the Kurdish regional president, said to roars of applause at a rally of tens of thousands in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdish region, on Friday evening.The idea of Kurdish independence has won cautious support among Israeli leaders, who see an independent Kurdistan as a potential ally in a region where most countries have shunned the Jewish state.Yeni Safak, a conservative Turkish newspaper loyal to Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on Sunday pointed the presence of Israeli flags alongside “so-called Kurdish flags” at rallies organized by the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and claimed that the referendum was part of a Zionist plot.“Israel, using Masoud Barzani and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorist organization as pawns, seeks to obtain the area between the Nile and Euphrates, which is regarded as ‘the promised land’ in the Torah,” said an article entitled “Barzani plans to deliver ‘promised land’ to Israel.”It added, “Zionists call the ‘Kurdistan’ that Barzani and the PKK want to establish as ‘Kurdo-Judaic,’ the ‘Jewish Kurdistan.’”Ten days ago, Turkish media published conspiracy theories claiming that Israel was planning to repatriate Israeli Jews of Kurdish origin to Kurdistan after the referendum.

Nukes of hazard-The press tries to answer whether North Korea and Iran are two separate threats or one big ball of Trumphurt -- and which is a bigger concern? The Nazis, of course-By Joshua Davidovich    September 24, 2017, 1:30 pm-TOI

Who would win in a fight: North Korea, Iran, or an earthquake? That seems to be the question at the center of Israel’s print press Sunday morning, after a long hiatus thanks to the Rosh Hoshanah holiday and amid ever-rising tensions between Washington and Pyongyang, and maybe Tehran too.With US President Donald Trump and North Korea’s leadership trading barbs and Iran testing a new missile, two out of the three main dailies (Haaretz and Yedioth Ahronoth) focus mostly on nuclear saber-rattling with North Korea, while only Israel Hayom makes a mostly silly debate explicit with a front-page headline reading “North Korea is dangerous, Iran is much more so.”The headline sounds like a continuation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s attempts to lobby the US to deal with Iran and forget about North Korea, and the column attached to the headline (because who wants news on the front page after 4 days without?), by former Netanyahu national security aide Yaakov Amidror, continues that theme.“If you want to understand Iran you need to look at what North Korea is doing, except Iran is bigger, stronger and has much more potential,” he writes, before issuing what sounds like a challenge to the US. “It seems that if the US won’t do anything about countries like Iran and North Korea, no other power will. And the US is wavering. It will be interesting to see what it will do now, after the aggressive things said by the president at the UN, before the Iranians showed their disregard for them by launching a missile test right afterward. For Israel this is a critical question, since an American decision not to do anything will force Israel to think differently on what it should do in the future, on its own.”Both Yedioth and Haaretz, meanwhile, focus on what might be entertaining if it weren’t so scary, the intercontinental insult and threat battle taking place between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.Yedioth quotes from some of the best one-liners on its front page, but inside the paper it also links North Korea to Iran, calling it a “double, immediate threat,” which sounds worse than the double secret probation in “Animal House.” In an accompanying column, Alex Fishman writes that the Iranians are learning what to do from the North Koreans, calling the Khoramshahr ballistic missile tested by Iran “clearly North Korean, and showing the close cooperation between the countries.”Fishman’s own column appears to reveal close cooperation between him and Israeli officials with an agenda/bone to pick, with him blaming that ayatollah-lover Barack Obama for Israel’s Iran woes.“Back in 2013, when an interim deal was signed between the powers and Iran, it was known to Israel that representatives of Obama and Iran put together a secret side deal, and even then it was known the Iranian got secret American agreement to develop missiles with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers. At the same time, Iran was developing missiles with a range of between 2,500 and 5,000 kilometers, which could get to the Europe and the US,” Fishman writes, apparently not realizing that Iran would need twice that distance to reach the US. “The Americans put a red line on the Iranians in the secret talks: Not to the US and not to Europe, but up to 2,000 kilometers, the exact effective distance to Iran’s main enemy: Israel. And if you want, also Saudi Arabia.”While Haaretz gives plenty of space to the North Korean taunt-fest and the Iranian missile, it also shows that it didn’t stop paying attention to the UN once Netanyahu left, covering Trump’s meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The paper reports that not much is known about what happened in the meeting beyond Trump telling Abbas the US is working on a new peace plan but needs more time. At the same time, it notes that Ramallah believes the US is on-board with reconciliation between Abbas and the Hamas terror group.“The PA attaches great importance to the fact that both the White House and State Department have thus far said nothing in response to media reports of a new Egyptian effort to reconcile the PA and Hamas. The Palestinian leadership sees the absence of US criticism of the reconciliation effort as a de facto green light for the move,” the paper reports.Looking at Abbas’s speech to the UN, Jacky Khoury notes that the Palestinian leader put the one-state solution on the table, and while this isn’t the first time he’s threatened to throw it all in, frustration is certainly growing.“The hope Abbas instilled in the international community has vanished. He made clear that even if the world gives up on the two-state solution, some 6.5 million Palestinians still live between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River,” he writes. “In his speech, Abbas implied that they will not disappear, evaporate or be expelled. Instead, they will demand their full rights. Israel, the United States and the international community will have to figure out how to accomplish that.”For all of the fights Trump is waging, or possibly trying to end, the one he’ll never win is against mother nature, as evidenced by the havoc wreaked by an earthquake in Mexico that also continues to gain top real estate in the Israeli press, mostly thanks to Israeli rescuers dispatched to the Latin American country.A rah-rah Yedioth calls the rescuers “Angels in orange” in a two-page spread that is mostly pictures, and Israel Hayom is no less proud with its own double page spread, including an article focusing on the six females in the group of 70 rescuers.“We do exactly the same as any other officer in a rescue corps,” one tells the paper. “I trained for this three and a half years, to carry equipment, to see unpleasant sights and to work with heavy tools, just like any other rescue officer or soldier. A rescue female does the exact same as a rescue man.”-Back to the brownshirts?-The papers are less excited about German elections, where Chancellor Angela Merkel is expected to keep her seat and the far-right AfD is expected to enter the Bundestag.It’s the first victory that mostly concerns Israel Hayom columnist Eldad Beck, who says that with Merkel likely not going anywhere soon, Israel will need to work on finding a way to improve its ties with Berlin.Meanwhile, it’s the rise of the anti-Semitic AfD that forms the crux of worries in Haaretz and Yedioth, informed by the weight of the country’s history.In Haaretz, Ofer Aderet says AfD’s rise isn’t just about getting rid of migrants or Jews, but speaks to a larger malaise against the establishment in Germany.“Not all AfD candidates or voters are anti-Semites, neo-Nazis and racists (although some definitely are). But as in other places in the past and present, anger and disgust have united different groups against a common enemy, whether real or imagined,” he writes.A column in Yedioth by Ofra Pasdar, one of tens of thousands of Israelis living in Berlin, meanwhile, speaks to the strange feeling of being in Germany at a time when a party seen as the forebears of Nazi ideology are back in business.“Seventy years after my grandmother on my mother’s side, who grew up in Germany in a German family, decided to leave her heritage and her nation and tie her fate to the Jewish people in Israel so that she would never be complacent, I find myself going around in a country where the noise in the streets comes from Oktoberfest celebrations and not from campaign advertising and rallies, a land where the streets are clean, quiet, decorated with little election pamphlets, colorful and aesthetic,” she writes. “It’s hard not to move in this beautiful country with discomfort from the voices coming out of the campaign.”

Islamic State fighter challenges Prince Harry to fight-Singaporean member of Syria-based jihadist group says British royal should 'come here and fight us if you're man enough'-By AFP-September 24, 2017, 6:04 pm

A Singaporean member of the Islamic State group in Syria has appeared in a video challenging Britain’s Prince Harry to fight the jihadists, a monitoring group and authorities said Sunday.It is believed to be the first time that a fighter from the affluent city-state has featured prominently in one of the Islamic State group’s videos.In the English-language video released Saturday, a man identified as “Abu ‘Uqayl” from Singapore took issue with Prince Harry talking about a terror attack in London while on a visit to Singapore in June.“Why don’t you come here and fight us if you’re man enough, so that we can send you and your Apaches to hellfire, biidhnillah (Allah permitting)?” he said in the video, which appeared on the closed SITE Intelligence Group website, but was not made available to the public.Prince Harry formerly served in the British army and flew Apache attack helicopters in Afghanistan.The royal’s visit to the city-state in June was overshadowed by an Islamic State group-claimed terror attack in London.The attack saw knife-wielding men mow down and stab revelers on a night out, killing seven before they were gunned down by police.Singapore’s interior ministry said it believed the person in the video was a Singaporean.“Our security agencies have been aware for some time now of the presence in Syria of a Singaporean, Megat Shahdan bin Abdul Samad, 39, and have been monitoring his activities,” the Ministry of Home Affairs said in a statement.“It is believed that the person in the video calling himself ‘Abu Uqayl’ is Shahdan.”Singapore’s leaders have warned that the city is a prime target for a terror attack because of its strong stand against terrorism and reputation as a regional financial center.

North Korea stages anti-US rally as war of words escalates-After Kim Jong Un's foreign minister says attack on US 'inevitable,' Trump warns 'Little Rocket Man' Korea may 'not be around much longer'-By AP and TOI staff-September 24, 2017, 7:50 am

North Korea has held a large anti-US rally in its capital city, backing its leader Kim Jong Un as he exchanges insult-laden threats with US President Donald Trump.A huge crowd gathered Saturday in Pyongyang’s Kim ll Sung Square, named for the current leader’s grandfather and founder of North Korea. They listened to speeches from senior officials excoriating the United States and its president.Trump has meanwhile hit back at comments made by North Korea’s top brass in an escalating war of words between the two countries.On Tuesday, Trump told the UN General Assembly that “Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime.” Kim responded by calling him a “mentally deranged US dotard,” after which Trump hit back with “madman.”On Saturday, speaking after American bombers and fighter escorts had flown to the farthest point north of the border between North and South Korea by any such US aircraft this century, North Korea’s foreign minister, Ri Yong Ho, told the UN General Assembly that it was “inevitable” North Korea would fire rockets at the US.Later Saturday, Trump was back on Twitter with the message, “Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at UN.  If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won’t be around much longer!”Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 24, 2017-During Saturday’s march in Pyongyang, marchers carried signs with slogans such as “decisive revenge” and “death to the American imperialists.” They shouted phrases such as “total destruction,” according to the Korean Central News Agency, the state news service.The crowd included workers, officials and students, KCNA said.The rally capped two days of response to Trump’s combative speech at the United Nations.

Iraq says it wants world’s help to build nuclear reactor-Over 35 years after Israeli strike on Osirak, oil-rich country still partially held by IS says it has rights to nuclear power under NonProliferation Treaty-By AP and TOI staff-September 24, 2017, 3:06 am

NEW YORK — Iraq’s foreign minister asked nuclear countries for help building a nuclear reactor Saturday, over 35 years after Israeli jets destroyed the country’s first attempt to build a nuclear program.Ibrahim al-Jaafari made the request in his speech Saturday to the UN General Assembly’s annual meeting of presidents, prime ministers and monarchs. He called for assistance “to build a nuclear reactor for peaceful purposes in Iraq, to acquire this nuclear technology.”Former Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein’s previous efforts to build a nuclear reactor were met with an Israeli airstrike on the Osirak nuclear facility in 1981 and years of suspicion about his nuclear intentions.While the international community initially condemned Israel for the airstrike, some 10 years later, Dick Cheney, the US secretary of defense at the time, thanked Israel for the raid, according to David Ivry, who was the head of Israel’s air force at the time.Israeli Air Force footage taken during the strike on Osirak:The US cited concerns that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction as the basis for invading Iraq in 2003, but none were ever found.Al-Jaafari cited the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty’s provisions allowing countries to pursue peaceful nuclear energy projects. Iraq ratified the treaty in 1969.Non-nuclear nations that signed it agreed to not pursue atomic weapons. In exchange, the five original nuclear powers — the US, Russia, Britain, France and China — promised to move toward nuclear disarmament and to guarantee non-nuclear states access to peaceful nuclear technology for producing power.It wasn’t immediately clear how other nations would greet the request from oil-rich Iraq, which is emerging from a bloody, chaotic period after Islamic State extremists seized swaths of the country in 2014. They created a regime of atrocities, including mass killings, beheadings and rapes.US-backed Iraqi forces have now driven IS from most of the Iraqi territory it took, although the group still controls some pockets, as well as territory in Syria.Al-Jaafari emphasized the improving situation in the country and asked for the international community’s help in rebuilding areas reclaimed from the militants.“We give great importance to freeing our society from the culture of hatred and murder that was disseminated by (IS),” he said. “In order to counter these practices, we need the assistance of the international community to provide services.”-Opposition to Kurdish vote-Al-Jaafari also reiterated his government’s opposition to Iraqi Kurds’ planned independence vote next week, saying officials “wish to preserve the unity of Iraq.”Kurds are an ethnic group with populations in Iraq, Syria, Iran and Turkey, and they have an autonomous region in northern Iraq. They have long aspired to statehood, and the referendum could be a significant step.The central government views the vote as unconstitutional and divisive. Iraq’s top court has temporarily suspended the vote, and the country’s parliament has also voted to reject it. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has even said he’s prepared to intervene militarily if the vote leads to violence.Kurdish officials have continued to say the vote will be held nonetheless.The UN Security Council expressed concern Thursday about that the vote, saying it could be destabilizing. The council instead urged dialogue between the Kurds and the central government.
