US to add $173 million for Israel missile defense

Armed Services Committee spending bill calls for increases in support for Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow systems

A defense funding bill for fiscal year 2014 proposed Monday by members of the US House and Senate Armed Services Committees would increase American missile defense spending by some $358 million (NIS 1.25 billion), bringing the total to $9.5 billion (NIS 33.2 billion).The measure also raises spending on missile defense systems developed between the US and Israel by $173 million (NIS 604 million), Reuters reported.
Funds for missile defense collaboration are separate from the average $3 billion (NIS 10.5 billion) in defense assistance Israel receives from the United States annually .The bill, details of which were released late Monday, needs to pass a final vote by Congress. Lawmakers called for the vote to take place before Congress heads home for the year.Funding for several Israeli defense systems will be affected by the legislation.Israel employs a layered defense system, with Iron Dome covering rocket launches from four to 70 kilometers away and Arrow 2 addressing threats from 300 to 1700 kilometers away. Neither the mid-range David’s Sling, which was successfully tested in November, nor the long-range Arrow 3, are operational yet.The bill includes nearly $34 million (NIS 119 million) for improving the Arrow system, co-developed by American company Boeing and Israel Aerospace Industries. It also calls for $22 million (NIS 77 million) developing Israel’s upper tier interceptor, the Arrow 3. The missile interceptor is designed to deal with nuclear payloads by hitting long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles after they have left the atmosphere, thereby reducing possible fallout from a detonation.The medium-range David’s Sling system, developed by Rafael and Raytheon for the Israel Missile Defense Organization and the US Missile Defense Agency, will see $117.2 million (NIS 409 million) in additional funding.David’s Sling addresses rocket and mid-range ballistic missile threats, as well as drones and incoming aircraft, and, once operational, will fill a gap between the existing short-range Iron Dome system and the Arrow 2.The bill also backed US President Barack Obama’s request for $220 million (NIS 768 million) to help Israel buy more Iron Dome batteries. It also included $15 million (NIS 52 million) to create a production facility for the defense system’s parts in the US.Unlike other missile defense collaborative programs, such as the Arrow, Israel until now has maintained propriety over Iron Dome. A number of lawmakers in Congress have sought to involve the United States in Iron Dome’s development as the US increases funding for the program.The legislation mandates a report on missile cooperation between the US and Israel.The bill also calls for a radar to be deployed against the North Korean missile threat, and for potential defensive deployment against Iranian missiles.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:TOBOLSK)

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

EZEKIEL 39:1-8,11-21

7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE) and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300 MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)

Israel, Russia to launch talks on free trade zone

‘You can’t put all your eggs in one basket,’ says one official, linking initiative to settlement spat with the European Union

December 10, 2013, 9:02 pm 11-The times of Israel

Israel and Russia have agreed to launch formal talks aimed at establishing a free trade zone between the two countries.The decision was made at a meeting between Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett and Russia’s Minister for Economic Development Alexey Ulyukaev on the sidelines of the World Trade Organization gathering in Bali, Indonesia on Thursday.Economy Ministry officials believe Israel’s current level of trade with Russia, estimated at some $2 billion annually, nearly half of it in the diamond trade, leaves “huge untapped potential” for expansion.The agreement is also viewed as a means for strengthening Israeli-Russian political ties, and is intended, in the words of a government official who spoke to The Times of Israel on Tuesday, as part of “the continued diversification of Israel’s economic ties around the world.”“If there’s something we learned from the experience surrounding Horizon 2020,” the official said, “it’s that you can’t put all your eggs in one basket.”Horizon 2020, the EU’s seven-year, $107 billion scientific research fund, was the subject of tense negotiations between the EU and Israel in recent months after new European guidelines forbade investment in institutions with operations or assets across the Green Line.

The crisis has fueled a sense among some Israeli leaders, especially on the right, that Israel must invest in expanding its network of economic and political ties eastward.Bennett’s first overseas visit after joining the cabinet was to China; his second was to India. He opened an Israeli economic liaison office in Hong Kong, attended the WTO conference in Indonesia, and traveled to Australia for talks with government officials and business leaders.The negotiations, which are expected to launch in the first quarter of 2014, will be led by the Economy Ministry’s Foreign Trade Administration

Top senator says new Iran sanctions will have to wait

Word of delay comes after Kerry warns lawmakers that applying ‘gratuitous’ pressure could give Tehran an excuse to back out of Geneva deal

“We’ll see. Not this year,” he added to The Hill.

The Banking Committee, which oversees international finance agreements, would play an important role in creating and passing new sanctions legislation.The statement came hours after Kerry took a brief break from his rigorous travel schedule to the Middle East on Tuesday to pressure Congress to delay additional sanctions against Iran, describing such legislation as “gratuitous” and potentially damaging not only to any future deal with the Islamic Republic, but also to America’s relations with fellow states in the P5+1 group.
The administration and Tehran both see new sanctions as potential deal-breakers that could undermine the recently signed pact between Iran and six world powers.Two senators at the head of a drive for new sanctions, Mark Kirk and Robert Menendez, are reportedly pursuing language that would legislate new penalties, but give the White House the option of deferring on them, according to The Washington Post, citing a Senate aide.Speaking to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, though, Kerry said Congress needed to tread careful or risk unraveling diplomatic progress made in Geneva.“Let me be very clear: This is a very delicate diplomatic moment and we have a chance to address peacefully one of the most pressing national security concerns that the world faces today,” Kerry told the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “We’re at a crossroads. We’re at one of those really hinge points in history. One path could lead to an enduring resolution in the international community’s concerns about Iran’s nuclear program. The other path could lead to continued hostility and potentially to conflict.”Kerry’s comments shed light on Washington’s flexibility on the terms of a final-status agreement. While he said that the interim agreement reached last month in Geneva rendered the Arak heavy water facility “frozen stone-cold,” he did not rule out the possibility of future negotiations over the fate of the plant, which could be used to produce plutonium for a nuclear bomb.
The secretary of state also avoided any commitment to the effect that the final agreement would prohibit Iran entirely from enriching its own uranium.Kerry assured Congress that during the interim period, while the P5+1 member states are negotiating a final agreement, “Iran’s nuclear programs will not move forward.” Instead, he promised, “this agreement halts the progress of Iran’s nuclear program and rolls its back in certain places.”In response to a question by Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), Kerry said that the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia had welcomed the deal because it provided new-found security. He acknowledged, however, that Israel did not find the deal reassuring.Anticipating being pressed by members of Congress on the repeal of sanctions placed on Iran by Congressional mandate, Kerry told the committee that the estimated $7 billion in sanctions relief that would result from Iran’s compliance with the interim agreement “pales in comparison with the amount of pressure we’re leaving in place.”Describing additional sanctions as “gratuitous,” Kerry emphasized that he would not rule out such legislation in the future.The interim deal with Iran prohibits the Obama administration from introducing new sanctions for six months. Kerry and other US officials have warned of dire consequences if Washington breaks its word. And Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has said any new package of commercial restrictions would kill the deal.“If Congress adopts sanctions, it shows lack of seriousness and lack of a desire to achieve a resolution on the part of the United States,” Zarif told Time magazine.“I’m just saying ‘not right now.’ This is a very delicate diplomatic moment,” Kerry explained on Tuesday, arguing that were Congress to finalize additional sanctions, it could result in the Iranians pulling out of talks, or disunity among fellow members of the P5+1 negotiating team.“I don’t want to give the Iranians a public excuse to flout the agreement,” Kerry said. “It could lead our international partners to think that we’re not an honest broker, and that we didn’t mean it when we said that sanctions were not an end in and of themselves but a tool to pressure the Iranians into a diplomatic solution. Well, we’re in that. And six months will fly by so fast, my friends, that before you know it, we’re either going to know which end of this we’re at or not.”Members of both parties challenged Kerry. Engel, the top Democrat on the panel, specifically asked Kerry why the administration was so strongly opposing sanctions that wouldn’t be imposed unless Iran breaks the agreement. And Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman expressed misgivings about trusting the Obama administration, which he accused of hampering all sanctions efforts against Iran thus far.As Kerry spoke, reports circulated that the secretary of state will address Iran sanctions before the full Senate on Thursday in an intensified effort to keep the upper house from voting on a sanctions bill before it goes on its winter recess.Members of both parties challenged Kerry. The top Democrat on the panel, Rep. Eliot Engel of New York, specifically asked Kerry why the administration was so strongly opposing sanctions that wouldn’t be imposed unless Iran breaks the agreement. And Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman expressed misgivings about trusting the Obama administration, which he accused of hampering all sanctions efforts against Iran thus far.Members of Congress generally believe that crippling petroleum, banking and trade sanctions levied on Iran in recent years were responsible for bringing its more moderate president, Hassan Rouhani, to power and his representatives to the negotiating table. Many argue more pressure, not less, could break Iran’s will and secure better terms in a final agreement.At several points, Kerry and lawmakers talked over each other as they argued about whether the deal recognized Iran’s “right” to enrich uranium — which the administration rejects — and about the details of international inspections on Iranian sites and its non-nuclear weapons programs.Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., was perhaps strongest in her criticism of the administration, flatly denouncing the agreement in Geneva as a “bad deal.”“We may have bargained away our fundamental position,” said Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., the committee chairman. “Iran should not be enriching and reprocessing,” he said, criticizing what he termed the administration’s “false confidence that we can effectively check Iran’s misuse of these key nuclear bomb-making technologies.”Iran insists its program is solely for peaceful nuclear energy and medical research.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Dutch Report Blames Israel for PA Failures

A report released Wednesday by Tiny Kox, a Dutch member of the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly, claims that Palestinians are not "democratic partners" according to the Council of Europe's standards, and further blames Israel for the phenomenon.In the report Kox, a member of Holland's Socialist Party, attributed the prevention of weapons smuggling to Gaza, Judea and Samaria as well as Gilad Shalit's release as "Palestinian achievements."The report blames Israel of being a "barrier" preventing Palestinians from the Legislative Council's Conference, thereby "hindering many democratic processes." Israel is also accused of preventing internal reconciliation between factions of the Palestinian Authority (PA), as well as preventing democratic elections and local elections in Gaza.During the discussion of the report at the Assembly, Knesset representative MK Ronen Hoffman (Yesh Atid), said "pointing an accusing finger at Israel because the Palestinians aren't meeting their international obligations is absurd."The report is noted to have relied on one-sided testimony from Palestinian sources, while ignoring the importance of hostilities between the PA and Hamas as a central cause for absent Palestinian democracy.Hoffman put the blame on the Palestinians for their failing, saying "Israel supports democracy in the Palestinian society and wants to remind that it is within the power of the Palestinian leadership to act even today in a range of fields" essential to democracy such as equal rights and freedom of information.After the Assembly discussion, Hoffman commented that "we are in the heights of a dirty wave of anti-Israeli decisions. The hostile atmosphere towards Israel is felt most strongly throughout the European continent, and it finds expression in baseless decisions bereft of any logic such as this one."On Tuesday Vitens, a Dutch water company, decided it would cut ties with its Israeli counterpart Mekorot due to the company's presence over the 1949 Armistice lines. The same day, the British Department of Trade and Investment warned British citizens not to be involved in business activities connected to Israeli communities over the lines."The isolation of Israel is dangerous and we must increase our diplomatic efforts, together with the Foreign Ministry, to act and repair Israel's standing in Europe and the entire world," remarked Hoffman.

Internal Security Minister Promises Crackdown on J'lem Attacks

Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich admits increase in anti-Semitic attacks in the capital is a problem: 'it will stop'.-By Ari Soffer and Arutz Sheva Staff-First Publish: 12/11/2013, 1:40 PM-INN

Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich (Likud-Beytenu) has promised to put an end to the harassment of Jews in Jerusalem.Aharonovich was responding to a question by MK Orit Struk (Jewish Home), in which he was challenged over a sharp increase in anti-Semitic attacks by Arab extremists in the capital."Half a year ago you sat with me a special panel targeting nationalistic crimes, which did not focus solely on the so-called 'Price Tag movement' [i.e. nationalistic crimes targeting Arabs - ed.], but to also investigate incidents of nationalistically-motivated crimes by Arabs against Jews. Later, I sent you a long query detailing hundreds of cases (of such attacks)," none of which have since been dealt with, she accused, despite the establishment of a special unit to tackle nationalistic crimes.By way of example, Struk added that students at an Arab school throw rocks with impunity on a daily basis at Jews traveling to and from the Mount of Olives - again, with no action taken by police."We have to stop the phenomenon - and it will stop," Aharonovich assured her in response, adding that he was coordinating with the Jerusalem District police to ensure a crackdown on the violence, which has included potentially-fatal mob-attacks and rock-throwing at cars and buses. "Both incidents in which Jews attack Arabs and those in which Arabs attack Jews must be investigated," he declared.The Internal Security Minister went on to claim that, despite the criticisms, the special unit had scored a number of unspecified "successes", both within "the Jewish and Arab sectors".
But "nevertheless, this does not justify the (Arab) actions against Jews or vice-versa, which must be investigated, no matter by whom," he stressed.The past few months have seen a marked increase in violent "road-terror" attacks in the Jerusalem area, as well as in Judea and Samaria. In one recent incident a two year-old girl suffered serious head injuries after the car she was traveling in was identified as "Jewish" and attacked. Avigail Ben-Tzion was recently discharged from Hadassa Ein Kerem hospital, and is continuing her recovery at home.It was the latest in a string of attacks, which have targeted private vehicles and public buses alike. Apart from rocks, attackers sometime use firebombs and other incendiary devices in order to maximize the damage caused. Last month, an Israeli man recounted to IDF radio the harrowing moments he saw his wife catch fire, after their car was struck by a molotov cocktail.

Analyst: Kerry's Jordan Valley Arrangements 'A Death-Trap'

Arutz Sheva analyst reveals Kerry's Jordan Valley security arrangements follow 'Allon Plan,' would be 'death-trap for Israel'.-By Ari Yashar, Arutz Sheva Staff-First Publish: 12/10/2013, 10:50 PM-INN

Allon Plan map
Allon Plan map-Mark Langfan
Arutz Sheva analyst Mark Langfan has warned that US Secretary of State John Kerry's "security arrangement" proposals for Israel are an updated version of the 1967 "Allon Plan," and place the country in strategic danger.In the arrangements Kerry has reportedly proposed in ongoing peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA), Israel would for 10 years partially retain the 15 kilometer (9 mile) wide strip of the Jordan Valley as a security zone.The arrangements have been reportedly rejected by both sides; PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas opposed the plans for allowing Jews to remain in the area. Kerry's pressure on the PA to accept the plans by postponing terrorist prisoner releases led a senior PLO official to say Kerry's proposals for the Jordan Valley will lead to "total failure," after which Kerry announced he would return to Israel on Wednesday.Langfan, who heads Americans For a Safe Israel (AFSI), commented that Kerry's proposed arrangements follow the security plan drawn up by General Yigal Allon following the Six Day War.The AFSI Chairman warned that the arrangement threatens to become a "Philadelphi Corridor 2," referring to the failed security strip, which was tenuously kept by Israel between Gaza and Egypt after the disastrous "Disengagement" from Gaza in 2005. The corridor was later entirely abandoned under fire from Gaza-based terrorists.Kerry's arrangements are "a death-trap security plan for Israel," stressed Langfan, adding "people just don't understand the ‘Jordan Valley’ is the area of Judea and Samaria that's further away from Pre-1967 Israel, and with Western Samaria Highlands in Palestinian hands, the zone is essentially disconnected from Pre-1967 Israel."Langfan's explanation of the Allon Plan's security dangers can be seen here:In Langfan's words, a modern day Allon Plan of the type proposed by Kerry "is just a false wrapping for 'Auschwitz 2.0 Borders.' The residual Israeli-occupied portion of the Jordan Valley will be surrounded, virtually impossible to access, and attacked from both the east and the west, and it will be just as militarily unsustainable as was Gaza's Philadelphi Corridor. It's a prescription for a Holocaust 2.0."Recently Major General Nitzan Alon, the Head of the IDF's Central Command, said the US has agreed to an Israeli security presence in the Jordan Valley. It should be noted that Kerry's Jordan Valley arrangements would keep an IDF presence in the region. "In 1967, (General Yigal) Allon couldn't imagine, less plan for 1) protecting Israel's water resources flowing westward from Western Samaria; 2) air-space; 3) Palestinian terroristic use of Katyusha rockets from the ‘West Bank’ Terror state into Tel Aviv; or 4) massive influx of additional Palestinians into the new PA State.  So for Israel, it's a literal 'dead-end' plan," remarked Langfan.
