Knesset scolds MK for disparaging feminist prayer group-Ethics Committee says it was ‘inappropriate’ for Meir Porush to call for Women of the Wall to be ‘thrown to the dogs’-By Tamar Pileggi March 29, 2016, 11:32 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The Knesset Ethics Committee on Tuesday slapped Deputy Education Minister Meir Porush on the wrist for making disparaging remarks about Reform Judaism and a feminist prayer group earlier this year.While saying the United Torah Judaism MK’s outburst was “inappropriate,” and “drastically deviated from the conduct that is acceptable in the Knesset or toward Knesset members,” the committee chose to reprimand Porush rather than hand down a harsher punishment, saying it was his first offense since the elections last March.During a February plenum speech addressing a government decision to set aside an area near Jerusalem’s Western Wall for non-Orthodox prayer, Porush, a member of the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party, said the feminist prayer group Women of the Wall should be “thrown to the dogs.”Porush went on to attack Reform Judaism, claiming the movement and its members are “responsible for the terrible intermarriage that we’ve been witnessing in the United States.”The Ethics Committee said that “scornful” remarks such as Porush’s, had they been uttered about Jews in a parliament outside Israel, would be “deplored harshly.”His attacks on liberal Judaism and its associated movements were part of a wider protest by some religious lawmakers who staunchly opposed the creation of a non-Orthodox prayer section at the holy site.Moshe Gafni, who chairs the Knesset’s powerful Finance Committee and is himself a member of Porush’s UTJ party, said in February that he would not recognize the decision, calling Reform Jews “a bunch of clowns who stab the holy Torah.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed the plan to designate a prayer area for non-Orthodox prayer, calling it “a historic compromise that ensures that the Western Wall will continue to be a source of unity and inspiration for the entire Jewish people.”He firmly rejected “disparaging and divisive remarks” made by lawmakers in the wake of the agreement.

Iran ‘certain’ UN won’t punish it for missile tests-Though Britain, France, Germany and the United States are seeking action, Russia will likely veto any steps-By AFP March 31, 2016, 5:24 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Iran’s defense minister said he is “certain” the UN Security Council will not take any action over its ballistic missile tests despite calls from Western powers.Britain, France, Germany and the United States wrote a joint letter on Monday calling for action over tests they said violated last year’s landmark nuclear deal between Iran and major powers, and the Security Council resolution that enshrines it.They said the two kinds of missiles fired by Iran on March 8 and 9, the Shahab-3 and Qiam-1, also called the Qadr, were a breach of the resolution because they were “inherently capable of delivering nuclear warheads,” something Iran denies.“I am certain that the Security Council and the United Nations will not respond as our actions are neither a breach of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (the July nuclear deal) nor are they against Resolution 2231,” General Hossein Dehghan said.He reiterated Iran’s longstanding denial that it ever had any ambition to develop a nuclear weapon and said its missiles were designed to carry only conventional warheads.Diplomats at the United Nations said the Security Council is expected to meet on Friday to consider the alleged breach of Resolution 2231.But they said action is unlikely as veto-wielding permanent member Russia is opposed to any new sanctions against Iran.Last Thursday, Washington imposed unilateral sanctions over this month’s tests adding several units involved in Iran’s missile programme to its blacklist.The Treasury placed sanctions on Shahid Nuri Industries and Shahid Movahed Industries, both units of the Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group Washington says is responsible for production of Iran’s liquid-fueled ballistic missiles.It also sanctioned the Al-Ghadir Missile Command of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards, which it said appears to have operational control of the missiles.

In first, Navy drills for Islamic State hijacking at sea-IDF forces practice contending with Egypt-based jihadists seizing a boat carrying civilians off the coast of Eilat-By Stuart Winer March 31, 2016, 8:25 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

In the darkness before dawn on Thursday, elite IDF commandos stole onto a boat off the coast of Eilat, and in a flurry of action overpowered several Islamic State ‘terrorists’ holding hostages. The action brought to an end a major naval exercise training to counter increasing threats from jihadists in the Sinai Peninsula.The exercise was the first of its kind for the IDF, simulating a face off against Islamic State fighters at sea. Members of the Israeli Navy’s elite Flotilla 13 commando unit, missile boats, regional security forces, and paramedics were all mobilized.According to the IDF, units practiced dealing with several scenarios including the firing of anti-tank missiles and rockets from the Egyptian side of the border and terrorists hijacking a boat with Israeli civilians on board.The IDF notified Egyptian and Jordanian authorities ahead of the exercise, which was held in the narrow Red Sea waterway bordered by Israel, Egypt, and Jordan.The drill highlighted Israeli jitters over the possibility of an attack by Islamic State fighters, who have waged an insurgency in Sinai, with near daily attacks against Egyptian forces.The border area saw a series of attacks in 2012 and 2013, after the Muslim Brotherhood took power in Egypt, but the frontier has been mostly quiet since Egypt began a crackdown on jihdaists in the peninsula.However, a Navy officer said there were signs that may soon change, citing the downing of a Russian jet over the Sinai last year. Islamic State claimed responsibility for downing Metrojet flight 9268, killing all 224 people aboard.“There is an increase in these kinds of threats in the last year,” the officer said, according to the Hebrew-language Ynet website. “Our response needs to be fast, as well as in the interface between forces and the police and MDA in Eilat. There are Islamic State elements based in this arena.”The IDF holds holds similar exercises once or twice year switching locations between the southern port of Eilat, the coast off the Gaza Strip, or Lebanon in the north.To help counter the concerns over terror attacks from the Sinai, the IDF plans to install a sea fence in the area of the Taba border crossing with Egypt to prevent divers from infiltrating Israel via the sea.

Egyptair hijacker was abusive, boasted of killing Israelis — ex-wife-Marina Paraschou describes ‘marriage of hell’ with Seif Eldin Mustafa, calls him ‘fanatical’ PLO supporter, drug-user and child-abuser-By Times of Israel staff and AP March 31, 2016, 7:26 pm

The man who hijacked an Egyptair flight on Tuesday and forced it to land in Cyprus was an abusive drug addict who boasted of killing three Israeli soldiers for a Palestinian terror group, his ex-wife said in an interview published Thursday.Seif Eldin Mustafa, 59, seized a domestic EgyptAir flight with a fake bomb belt and forced it to land in Cyprus Tuesday, where he made a series of bizarre demands, including asking to meet his Cypriot ex-wife and releasing Egyptians prisoners.He later surrendered and was taken into custody after releasing all passengers and crew unharmed following a strange hours-long standoff.While many watching the hijacking unfold across the world saw his actions in a romantic light, ex-wife Marina Paraschou painted Mustafa as an uncaring killer, in an interview Thursday with the Cypriot news site Phileleftheros.“Most of the media painted a picture of romance in which a man was trying to reach out to his estranged wife. But that couldn’t be further from the truth,” she said, adding, “They would have a different opinion if they knew what he was really like.”Paraschou said Mustafa was a “fanatical” supporter of Yasser Arafat and the Palestine Liberation Organization, according to a translation by The Guardian. She said he had bragged about participating in the killing of three Israeli soldiers and spent four years in a Syrian jail.She did not elaborate about the supposed killing of the Israeli soldiers but said Mustafa’s tattoos and some “items” she didn’t identify betrayed Mustafa’s “connections with dark things.”Paraschou told Phileleftheros she married Mustafa in 1985 when she was 20. The couple divorced five years later and since then had only once made contact when she called him several years later to say that their teenage daughter — one of four children the couple had together — had been killed in a car accident.“What do I care? It doesn’t matter she was killed,” Paraschou said Mustafa had told her.She said while married, the couple lived in her parents’ home and that Mustafa never held down a job, beating his children when he couldn’t support his drug habit.Paraschou called the marraige “the darkest period in my life.”“It was a marriage of hell with threats, beatings, torture and fear. He was a man who knew how to inflict fear and to create misery around him. He was unbalanced and a scary person,” she said.The two divorced in 1990 and Mustafa went to live in Egypt. Four years later, he was jailed for forgery and fraud. During the Egyptian revolution in 2011 against former dictator Hosni Mubarak, Mustafa took advantage of the chaos to break out of prison.Cypriot officials, who described Mustafa as “psychologically unstable,” said he had asked police negotiators during Tuesday’s hijacking to deliver a letter to Paraschou in which he demanded the release of 63 dissident women imprisoned in Egypt. The six-hour ordeal ended peacefully when police arrested Mustafa after all passengers and crew were released.Paraschou said it’s a “lie” that Mustafa asked to speak to her and that police who brought her to Cyprus’ main Larnaca airport where the plane was diverted only asked her to identify his voice.During a court hearing Wednesday, a police prosecutor said Mustafa told authorities after his arrest, “What’s someone supposed to do when he hasn’t seen his wife and children in 24 years and the Egyptian government won’t let him?”But Paraschou suggested in the interview that it was all a ruse.“This man never cared for his children for one minute, either when he lived here or when he went away,” Paraschou is quoted as saying. “He only offered pain, misery and terror. And even now when he’s in police custody, my children and I are afraid.”Cypriot police said Mustafa had not asked to be represented by a lawyer.In a separate interview with daily Politis also published Thursday, Paraschou said Mustafa used her as an “excuse” to seek asylum in Cyprus.Egypt’s interior ministry said Mustafa had a long criminal record but had finished serving a one-year prison term in March 2015.Cyprus police told the AP that Mustafa’s criminal record on the island stretched back to 1988, when he was convicted on six counts of forging passports and handed a suspended sentence. He was later deported to Egypt following domestic violence charges by Paraschou.He re-entered Cyprus on an assumed Qatari identity, but was tracked down and again deported to Egypt in 1990.For at least some part of the hijacking, the Egyptian seems to have been cordial to his hostages. Benjamin Innes, a 26-year-old from Leeds, had a stewardess take a photo in which he can be seen standing and grinning next to the hijacker.On Thursday, video emerged of that picture being taken, with several on the plane calmly talking and laughing.According to the Daily Mail, Innes sent the photo to his friends over his phone’s WhatsApp app, writing, “You know your boy doesn’t f*** about. Turn on the news lad!!!”Cypriot authorities are seeking the help of Interpol to determine how the suspect managed to pass the fake explosives belt through airport security in Egypt.Agencies contributed to this report

Paris attacks suspect Abdeslam ‘wants to cooperate’-Captured jihadist involved in deadly November assault will talk once he’s handed over to French authorities, lawyer tells court in Brussels-By Philippe Huguen and Michelle Fitzpatrick March 31, 2016, 7:02 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

AFP — Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam wants to cooperate with French authorities once he is extradited from Belgium, his lawyer said Thursday, as Belgian police carried out a raid linked to a foiled French terror plot.Soldiers and police combed through a wooded area by a busy motorway near Courtrai in northwestern Belgium, the latest in a series of raids since the Paris and Brussels terror attacks exposed a tangled web of cross-border jihadist cells.The sole surviving suspect of the November 13 Paris attacks in which 130 people were killed, Salah Abdeslam was arrested in Brussels on March 18 after four months on the run.The arrest was considered a rare success in Belgium’s anti-terror fight, although he was found just meters from his family home and has refused to talk since the Brussels attacks despite having links to the attackers.“I can confirm that Salah Abdeslam wants to be handed over to the French authorities,” lawyer Cedric Moisse told reporters at a court hearing in Brussels. “I can also confirm that he wants to cooperate with the French authorities.”A prosecutor was set to travel to the prison in the Belgian city of Bruges where Abdeslam is being held to discuss his extradition under a European arrest warrant.Belgian federal prosecutors “do not object” to handing the suspect over to France, said spokesman Eric Van der Sypt.A judge is set to rule on the extradition by Friday at the latest.Belgium has increasingly found itself at the center of Europe’s battle against terrorism and authorities have faced strong criticism for not doing enough to keep tabs on suspected extremists.-Metal detectors-The latest raid was linked to a thwarted plot in France, in which the main suspect, Reda Kriket, was charged in France on Wednesday with membership of a terrorist organisation after police found an arsenal of weapons and explosives at his home.“A raid is under way in connection with the (Reda) Kriket case,” Van der Sypt told AFP.He said it was taking place in Marke near the town of Courtrai, also known as Kortrijk, close to the French border.An AFP photographer at the scene said masked police and armed soldiers – some carrying metal detectors, others accompanied by sniffer dogs – appeared to be focusing on a sealed-off wooded area near a house and a petrol station along the E17 motorway.In what could signal improved security cooperation, several European countries have made arrests in recent days over the thwarted plot linked to 34-year-old Kriket.Kriket was detained near Paris last week and a raid on his apartment netted a cache of assault rifles, handguns and TATP, the highly volatile homemade explosive favored by IS jihadists.Another French suspect, 32-year-old Anis Bahri, was arrested in Rotterdam in the Netherlands at the weekend.And two other suspects – Abderrahmane A., 38, and Rabah M., 34 – have been charged in Belgium accused of involvement in the same plot.Abdeslam 26, has asserted his right to remain silent since the day after his arrest, having been questioned for three hours only about the Paris attacks and not about possible further activity.The Belgian-born French citizen, who was caught unarmed after being shot in the leg in a dramatic police raid in Brussels, told interrogators he had intended to blow himself up at the Stade de France stadium in Paris but backed out at the last minute.He refused to speak to investigators after Brussels was hit on March 22 by suicide attacks at the airport and a metro station that were claimed by the Islamic State group in which 32 people died.Abdeslam has been linked to at least two of the Brussels bombers. Khalid El Bakraoui, who blew himself up at the metro, rented a flat in Brussels where Abdeslam’s fingerprints were found.One of the two airport bombers, Najim Laachraoui, once drove to Hungary with Abdeslam.Belgium is still searching desperately for a suspected third attacker, the so-called “man in the hat” seen in surveillance images next to the two airport bombers.With no suspects in custody over the attacks, police on Thursday appealed for CCTV footage from members of the public.In a statement, they asked all residents and business owners in the Brussels region who have surveillance cameras pointed at public roads not to delete any footage from March 15 onward in case it could help the inquiry.

Israel halves its electricity supply to Jericho over debt-Official says ‘open-ended’ move made in response to NIS 1.7 billion in unpaid power bills-By Daniel Douek and AFP March 31, 2016, 7:04 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The Israel Electric Corporation on Thursday cut electricity supply to the Palestinian city of Jericho in half, after the Palestinian Authority and the Jerusalem District Electric Company’s debt swelled to over NIS 1.7 billion ($451 million).The PA has confirmed the existence of the debt and said that negotiations are being held in order to rectify the situation, according to Haaretz.Several attempts have been made by the IEC to negotiate a debt settlement with the PA and the Jerusalem District Electric Company, but when they proved unsuccessful, the power was finally cut.The decision to cut half of Israel’s supply to Jericho, which is located in the Jordan Valley, takes into account the fact that the city receives half of its electrical supply from Jordan, which means the power can be made up from other sources without blacking out customers.The bulk of the debt, NIS 1.4 billion ($371 million) is owed by the Jerusalem District Electric Company, with the remaining NIS 300,000 ($79,350) by the PA, according to IEC.“We’ve informed all the relevant parties, and after endless attempts to reach arrangements, we’ve decided to act to reduce the debt,” an Israeli official said, adding that the Jericho move was “open-ended.”In January 2015, the IEC cut the power to Palestinian cities for a number of hours every day over a similar debt.It ceased doing so the following month despite the standing debt.The Israeli Finance Ministry and Prime Minister’s Office, which would normally be involved in any decision to reduce the electricity to the Palestinians, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.Palestinian Authority officials did not immediately comment, either.Hisham al-Omri, director of the Jerusalem District Electric Company, told Haaretz that the corporation was never officially notified of the impending cut in electricity, despite ongoing negotiations between the two parties up until several hours before the cut. He also said that the cut exceeds 50 percent of Israel’s supply.Also, according to al-Omri, the electric line from Jordan is currently under renovations, meaning that the supply of electricity from Jordan will not be steady.“We do not agree with the IEC on a matter regarding rate calculation and interest rates,” al-Omri told Haaretz. “And so we have a pending lawsuit against the IEC in the Jerusalem Municipal Court.

Herzog claims political muckraking behind graft probe-Those responsible ‘will feel a political impact from it for many years,’ opposition leader warns; state prosecutor recuses self over conflict of interest-By Tamar Pileggi March 31, 2016, 8:53 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

A day after it was revealed that opposition leader Isaac Herzog was under investigation for graft, the Zionist Union list chairman struck back at claims of financial wrongdoing, charging the timing of the preliminary probe and its publication in the media were politically motivated.“We aren’t suckers, we know why this happens, and whoever is responsible will feel a political impact from it for many years. I am not worried about any investigation, and I will cooperate with every procedure asked of me,” Herzog said.He did not indicate who he believed to be responsible for alleging he violated campaign financing laws in his successful 2013 bid to take over the Labor Party.“Each time before general or internal elections, there are political sources that attempt to use the police as part of their campaigns. We are very familiar with this path; we have dealt with it in the past, and we will respond strongly to any attempt to make the police part of an election campaign,” he said.Earlier on Thursday, state prosecutor Shai Nitzan recused himself from the case over a conflict of interest, Haaretz reported. Citing Justice Ministry officials, the report said Nitzan disassociated himself from the investigation over “familiarity with one of those involved with police.”After Herzog was named as the second lawmaker under investigation for graft along with Interior minister Aryeh Deri on Wednesday, the Zionist Union chairman was quick to dismiss the probe as a product of “delusional political muckraking” promoted by the Likud party and “frustrated activists” before last year’s Knesset elections.Although Herzog has a relatively positive reputation, this isn’t the first time he has faced suspicions relating to campaign funding.He once memorably exercised his right to remain silent when he was investigated in 1999 as cabinet secretary, in connection with alleged campaign funding irregularities on the part of then-prime minister Ehud Barak.Deri, who earlier this week revealed he was again the center of a major corruption investigation, has also vowed to fully cooperate with the police investigation.Suspicions against Deri reportedly relate to his alleged ownership of several properties around the country, including a large vacation home in northern Israel town of Safsufa.“Yesterday I found out that my wife and I have become real estate moguls,” Deri said sarcastically Thursday, according to Channel 2. “We have had an apartment for about 25 years, in which we raised nine children and for which we are still paying the mortgage. In addition, we have a vacation home in Safsufa for the extended family, including the grandchildren.”Deri served 22 months in prison from 2000 to 2002 for taking bribes while serving as interior minister, and returned to politics in 2011, before resuming leadership of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party shortly before the 2015 Knesset elections.He returned to head the Interior Ministry earlier this year, after a court ruled his prior conviction did not disqualify him from the post.The case could have dramatic repercussions for Deri, as well as for his party’s place in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s narrow ruling coalition.Both Herzog and Deri were accused of committing the alleged crimes by members of their respective parties Channel 2 reported Wednesday.Investigations into both lawmakers are in a preliminary stage, and neither has been questioned by police, though sources close to investigation said it would be “unavoidable” that Deri be questioned under caution.Adiv Sterman contributed to this report.

Associated Press willingly cooperated with the Nazis, new report shows-News agency and Third Reich said to have made mutually beneficial deal, with AP providing countless photos for Nazi propaganda; AP denies collaboration-By Raphael Ahren March 30, 2016, 3:33 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The Associated Press news agency willingly cooperated with Nazi Germany, submitting to the regime’s restrictive rulings on the freedom of the press and providing it with images from its photo archives to be used in its anti-Semitic and anti-Western propaganda machine, a new report reveals.When Adolf Hitler’s National Socialists rose to power in 1933, all international news agencies but the US-based AP were forced to leave Germany. The AP continued to operate in the Third Reich until 1941, when the United States joined World War II.According to German historian Harriet Scharnberg, the world’s biggest news agency was only allowed to remain in Germany because it signed a deal with the regime.The news agency lost control over its copy by submitting itself to the Schriftleitergesetz (editor’s law), agreeing not to print any material “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home,” she wrote in an article published in the academic journal Studies in Contemporary History.Scharnberg’s research was first reported by the UK-based Guardian newspaper.According to the paper, the Nazis’ so-called editor’s law forced AP employees to contribute material for the Nazi party’s propaganda division. One of the four photographers working for the company in the 1930s was Franz Roth, a member of the SS paramilitary unit’s propaganda division. His pictures were handpicked by Hitler, the Guardian writes.The AP’s images appeared in many of the regime’s propaganda publications. Most of the images in a pamphlet called “Jews in the US” were provided by the AP. In a different publication entitled “The Subhuman,” the AP provided the second-largest number of photographs, according to Scharnberg.It is possible to argue that the AP’s agreement with the Nazis allowed the West a “peek into a repressive society that may otherwise have been entirely hidden from view,” the Guardian writes. On the other hand, the deal allowed to Nazis to cover up their war crimes. The cooperation with the prestigious American news agency allowed Hitler to portray his “war of extermination as a conventional war,” Scharnberg told the Guardian.“Instead of printing pictures of the days-long Lviv pogroms with its thousands of Jewish victims, the American press was only supplied with photographs showing the victims of the Soviet police and ‘brute’ Red Army war criminals,” Scharnberg, a historian at Halle’s Martin Luther University, told the paper, citing one example of the agency’s work helping the Nazis.“To that extent it is fair to say that these pictures played their part in disguising the true character of the war led by the Germans,” she added. “Which events were made visible and which remained invisible in AP’s supply of pictures followed German interests and the German narrative of the war.”Responding to the Guardian’s report, the AP said it would research the matter but rejected the notion that it deliberately collaborated with the Nazis.“An accurate characterization is that the AP and other foreign news organizations were subjected to intense pressure from the Nazi regime from the year of Hitler’s coming to power in 1932 until the AP’s expulsion from Germany in 1941. AP management resisted the pressure while working to gather accurate, vital and objective news in a dark and dangerous time,” the agency stated.AP later issued a lengthier statement, in which it said it “rejects the suggestion that it collaborated with the Nazi regime at any time.”
