Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon visited Thursday at the assembly line
where F-35 stealth jets are being built, at the Lockheed Martin factory
in Texas.The minister was hosted by Lockheed Martin's president,
Marillyn
Hewson. In the course of the tour, he was briefed by senior officials in
Lockheed Martin about the firm and about the progress of the F-35
project.At the assembly line, he received detailed explanations about
the different components of the F-35."As someone who used to jump so
many times from Lockheed Martin Hercules planes in paratroop exercises,
and after two days of meetings in the US, I wanted to see the real
thing,” Yaalon said. “The F-35 is a cornerstone in building the force of
the IAF and IDF.”"This is a meaningful event for us,” he added. “Unfortunately, we are experienced at military operations because we have no choice but to defend ourselves, and that is why I think we are lucky to have an ally like the United States and to enjoy the capabilities of Lockheed Martin.
Fr. Lombardi added that no exact dates have been given for any of these visits yet.

Israel's Prime Minster, Binyamin Netanyahu, has made a sweep of influential European media, giving numerous interviews and warning the West not to allow Iran to continue to enrich uranium."Don't say I didn't warn you," he told one interviewer, if loosening sanctions on Iran leads to the collapse of the West's bargaining position vis-a-vis the Islamic Republic.Iran is set to engage the West with talks in Geneva next week.Netanyahu spoke to the Financial Times and Sky TV in Britain, Le Monde and the France 24 network in France, and Frankfurter Allgemeine and the ARD network in Germany.The P5+1 talks, set to be held in Geneva next week, will see Iran meeting with delegates from the US, Russia, Britain, France, China and Germany in a bid to see the crippling sanctions against it loosened, in return for compromises on the country's uranium enrichment, which Israel and the US say is intended to produce a nuclear weapon.
Netanyahu has said that the steps Iran is likely to propose are not enough, calling for a total halt to enrichment."When a murderous regime deals with soft diplomacy all the while continuing to gather strength, we need to stop it, immediately," he told the cameras, adding that stopping an evil regime while it was still possible to do so, was "the central lesson of the twentieth century."Directing his words to the upcoming Geneva talks, Netanyahu emphasized "if we weaken the sanctions, the sanctions will collapse." The West has the upper hand and had to show resilience, he insisted. "Don't say I didn't warn you," he told one interviewer, adding, that the Iranian threat was just as relevant to Europe as it was to Israel."Don't let them have enrichment, Be tough, be strong, be consistent," he exhorted viewers, accusing Iran of having "committed acts of terror in five continents and 25 cities in the last few years."Iran has violated every single security council resolution to stop enrichment," Netanyahu told media.This round of interviews follows a similar media blitz by Netanyahu in the US ten days ago, in which he spoke on a number of TV shows, warning them that Iranian president Hassan Rouhani was lulling the West into a false sense of security whilst continuing to enrich uranium amid a calm air of diplomacy.Netanyahu's list of recent media appearances also included a first time interview for the BBC's Farsi speaking channel in which he warned Iranians that a pursuit of nuclear weapons would not lead to prosperity but would rather spell disaster for all Iranians.

In show of military might, Israel drills long-range air force attack
Week after warning from the PM about acting alone against Iran, IAF runs — and publicizes — midair refueling exercises and simulated strike on distant target
October 10, 2013, 9:43 pm
9-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
The exercises, which included midair
refueling, exceptionally long-distance coordinated strikes, and
dogfights, were carried out over Greek waters, according to a Channel 10
report. The station noted that the video of the exercises released
Thursday by the IAF marked the first time the military had made such a
clip publicly available.“The Israeli message was clear,” the channel
said, noting the announcement’s proximity to next week’s round of talks
between world powers and Iran in Geneva. “Here is an attempt to show the
world that, a moment before the talks, Israel is not giving up its
military option.”A commander who took part in the exercises
“explained that challenges stemming from these long-range flights
continue as the plane moves further from its point of origin. These
challenges include difficult weather conditions, unfamiliar terrain and
threats that could emerge during the flight,” according to the official
IDF blog, which noted that “long-range flying demands several hours of
concentration and exceptional physical preparation.”
The IAF,
which “plays a central role in carrying out Israel’s military option if
necessary… is exercising and strengthening its range of capabilities
through long-range flights as well as other exercises,” the IDF said,
though it also noted that the exercises were “no different from training
exercises conducted in the past few years.”The drill
over Greek waters was the latest in a series of joint military exercises
between Jerusalem and Athens. The navies of Israel, Greece and the US
in March held a two-week joint military exercise for the third year in a
row. There was no immediate indication, however, that the exercises —
announced Thursday — involved Greek military forces.Israel has
threatened to strike Iran’s nuclear production facilities if the Islamic
Republic develops the ability to create a nuclear weapon. An aerial
attack over such a long range — close to 1,000 miles as the crow flies —
would necessitate midair refueling. In 1981, the IAF carried out a
long-range airstrike to destroy the Osirak nuclear reactor in Iraq.

Rights group accuses Syrian rebels of war crimes
Human Rights Watch says opposition fighters killed 190 civilians during August offensive in Latakia area
October 11, 2013, 9:00 am
0-The Times of Israel
UN war crimes investigators have accused both
sides in Syria’s civil war, now in its third year, of wrongdoing, though
they said earlier this year that the scale and intensity of rebel
abuses hasn’t reached that of the regime.The new allegations of rebel abuses come at a
time when the regime is regaining some international legitimacy because
of its apparent cooperation with an internationally mandated program to
destroy Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile by mid-2014.Lama Fakih of Human Rights Watch said the
rebel abuses in Latakia “certainly amount to war crimes,” and may even
rise to the level of crimes against humanity.
The group said more than 20 rebel groups participated in the Latakia offensive.Five groups, including two linked to al-Qaeda
and others with jihadi leanings, led the campaign, which appeared to
have been funded in part by private donations raised in the Persian
Gulf, the report said.Human Rights Watch appealed to the Gulf states
to crack down on such money transfers. It also urged Turkey, a rear
base for many rebel groups, to prosecute those linked to war crimes and
restrict the flow of weapons and fighters. The Western-backed Syrian
opposition must cut ties with the groups that led the Latakia offensive,
the report said.Most of the alleged attacks on civilians
occurred on August 4, said the group. The campaign began with rebel
fighters seizing three regime posts and then the villages. After the
regime positions fell, no pro-government troops were left in the Alawite
villages. It took government forces two weeks to recapture all the
villages.
Human Rights Watch said at least 67 of the 190
civilians slain by the rebels were killed at close range or while
trying to flee. There are signs that most of the others were also killed
intentionally or indiscriminately, but more investigation is needed,
the group said.The rebels seized more than 200 civilians from
the Alawite villages, most of them women and children, and demanded to
trade the hostages for prisoners held by the regime.The HRW report said the rebel groups that led
the offensive included Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State in Iraq and
the Levant, both linked to al-Qaida; Ahrar al-Sham; Jaish al-Muhajireen
wal-Ansar; and Suqqor al-Izz. Goodbye Brotherhood, hello military dictatorship
El-Sissi may emerge as a not-so-benevolent dictator, a columnist warns as the Muslim Brotherhood is disbanded in Egypt

Saudi-Egyptian relations top the
headlines of Arab newspapers on Wednesday, following the first foreign
visit of Egyptian interim President Adly Mansour to Saudi Arabia this
week.“Saudi
Crown Prince: Egypt is in safe hands, and its people have shown us they
can overcome their crises,” reads the headline of Saudi-owned daily A-Sharq Al-Awsat,
featuring a photo of Mansour standing next to Crown Prince Salman bin
Abdulaziz.The daily then quotes words of praise by King Abdullah II of
Jordan, Mansour’s second destination.Khalid bin Sultan, a Saudi prince
responsible for water, tells London-based daily Al-Hayat that “water is much more important than oil.”Speaking at an international conference on
water in Budapest, Hungary, bin Sultan said that Saudi Arabia has the
scarcest water resources in the region and is therefore deeply
interested in water issues.“We believe that the greatest danger threatening Saudi Arabia in the future will be lack of water,” the prince said.Meanwhile
in Egypt, domestic unrest continues
to foment with partisan media covering events in typically shrill tones
following a government decision to withdraw the license from the Muslim
Brotherhood as a civil society organization.“Egypt’s former Mufti
supports the killing of protesters,” reads the headline of a TV reports
in Al-Jazeera, a pro-brotherhood news channel based in Qatar.The report features video excerpts from a
speech delivered by former top cleric Ali Gomaa in which he calls for
shooting protesters, a speech delivered in the presence of top military
commander and defense minister Abdel Fattah el-Sissi.“Strike at them, and do not sacrifice your
soldiers for those heretics,” Gomaa told the audience of military and
police officers.Al-Ahram, Egypt’s
establishment daily, reports that the minister of social welfare has
decided to “dissolve the Muslim Brotherhood association completely.”
Meanwhile, Egyptian columnist Mohammed Shuman
expresses concern over the mass popularity enjoyed by General el-Sissi
among the Egyptian public.“The place of the army in Egypt’s history,
nostalgia for a benevolent dictator, the search for security and
stability and the power of the state, all these elements are pushing
most Egyptians to accept Field Marshal Abdel Fattah el-Sissi as
president. As a result, any possibility for a civilian candidate or one
with military credentials is almost nil; it is certain that [El-Sissi]
is able to take the first round of the presidential race with a large
margin,” he writes Wednesday in Al-Hayat.
“The public
and the majority of political and intellectual elites support a general
who has not announced his intention to run for office, and has not
presented a political program nor outlined his economic or political
vision for Egypt’s future. Most Egyptians do not know much about
el-Sissi’s personality or his history, yet they support him for
president. This means that the majority is still far from the minimum
bar of democratic values … no doubt this will lead to the emergence of a
dictator who will not necessarily be benevolent.”
A-Sharq
Al-Awsat columnist Abdul Rahman Rashed remarks on the failure of the
Muslim Brotherhood to win over the sympathy of Arab countries in their
struggle for legitimacy.“The
Brotherhood tried and failed to have Arab and international public
opinion identify with them. They have nothing left but Qatar in the Arab
world, losing most Western countries which supported them at first.”“It is clear that the current Egyptian regime
has decided to retaliate against the Brotherhood forcefully, using
political and security propaganda against them and besieging the
movement financially. Clearly, the Brotherhood has not recovered from
the shock of the June 30 demonstrations which led to its easy ouster
with wide popular support. In the absence of the Brotherhood, the
current government is quickly finalizing the constitution, holding
elections, and taking the presidency for the coming four years.”
Netanyahu Tells West: Don't Say I didn't Warn You
European
media line up to hear the Israeli PM warn the West not to be fooled by
Iranian diplomacy as it continues to enrich uranium -By Adam Ross-First Publish: 10/10/2013, 8:16 PM-ISRAELNNEWS
Israel's Prime Minster, Binyamin Netanyahu, has made a sweep of influential European media, giving numerous interviews and warning the West not to allow Iran to continue to enrich uranium."Don't say I didn't warn you," he told one interviewer, if loosening sanctions on Iran leads to the collapse of the West's bargaining position vis-a-vis the Islamic Republic.Iran is set to engage the West with talks in Geneva next week.Netanyahu spoke to the Financial Times and Sky TV in Britain, Le Monde and the France 24 network in France, and Frankfurter Allgemeine and the ARD network in Germany.The P5+1 talks, set to be held in Geneva next week, will see Iran meeting with delegates from the US, Russia, Britain, France, China and Germany in a bid to see the crippling sanctions against it loosened, in return for compromises on the country's uranium enrichment, which Israel and the US say is intended to produce a nuclear weapon.

He added: “Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you.
It’s important to emphasize that this isn’t an Israeli issue. It’s also
your concern.”The prime minister concluded with a hint at
possible Israeli action to stop the Iranian nuclear program. “The Jewish
people have traveled a 4,000-year journey,” he said. The Jews’ enemies
“tried to destroy us again and again, but failed. We won’t allow men
such as the ayatollahs to succeed.”
In recent weeks, Iran has begun negotiating
directly with the US over its nuclear program and severe sanctions
imposed by Western powers. On Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported
Iran’s offer to limit its production of nuclear fuel in exchange for an
easing of international sanctions. It is expected to proffer its deal
at a meeting next week with the P5+1 in Geneva. Late Wednesday, Israeli TV reported that the US and Iran were making significant progress toward a deal that would aim to keep Iran two to three years from a nuclear weapons capability.Netanyahu’s Iran policy enjoys widespread support
among Jewish Israelis, who distrust the new diplomatic warming between
Tehran and the West, according to the latest Israel Democracy Institute
Peace Index. The poll found broad distrust of US President Barack
Obama’s promise to keep Iran from a bomb “at all cost.”The study, conducted in late September and
early October, found that 80% of Jewish Israelis did not believe Iranian
President Hassan Rouhani’s recent speech before the UN General Assembly
signaled a moderating of Tehran’s nuclear policy, but was merely a
change in rhetoric. Only 14% believed it was sincere. Among Arab
Israelis, 47% believed it marked a change in policy and 42% thought it
was only rhetoric. Iran cancels annual anti-Zionism conference

Hardliners in Iran blasted the decision, which
they see as another concession on the part of the new
government. Iran’s recently elected president, Hassan Rouhani, has made a
concerted effort to put a new face on the regime in Tehran. This after
eight years of his Holocaust-denying predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.Websites
sympathetic to organizers of the conference displayed strings of angry
comments, according to the British report: “Have our leaders given in so
much to the world that are even afraid of a conference that might hurt
Mr Obama’s feelings?” read one post. ”The latest piece from our
government’s show of capitulation,” read another.The event was
supposed to feature a former US senator, as well as 63 “overseas
contributors,” said the British daily.In the US last week and in Israel
this week,
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been speaking repeatedly to US,
European and even Farsi-language media outlets, warning of Iran’s and
Rouhani’s duplicity regarding the nuclear issue, and urging the
international community not to lift sanctions unless or until Iran is
stripped of its “military nuclear” capabilities.If sanctions on Iran are
removed without
ensuring a guaranteed end to uranium enrichment, Europe and the rest of
the world will face hundreds of nuclear weapons in the hands of a
“murderous” regime, Netanyahu said in a series of interviews with European media outlets Thursday.“When a murderous regime engages in soft
diplomacy and uses calming words of peace, but nevertheless continues to
acquire immense power — it must be stopped, immediately,” Netanyahu
said, according to quotes provided by the Prime Minister’s Office.“This is the central lesson of the 20th
century. It’s also the central lesson of North Korea. If [the Iranian
regime] is not stopped immediately, there won’t be just two bombs
pointed toward you [the Europeans], but 200. Stop it now while you’re in
a strong position to do so,” he exhorted.The interviews, timed ahead of next week’s new
round of talks in Geneva between the P5+1 powers and Iran over its
rogue nuclear program, were conducted with Germany’s Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung and ARD TV, France’s Le Monde and France 24, and the
UK’s Financial Times and Sky TV.Haviv Rettig Gur contributed to this report.
