Elections committee mulling request to ban Likud from social media campaigns-Yitzhak Haddad, who backtracks on claim he is an ‘underground activist,’ denies links to ruling party, says incriminating remarks made in recorded phone call were ‘a joke’-By TOI staff-APR 4,19

The Central Elections Committee convened Wednesday to discuss a petition seeking to have Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party banned from campaigning on social media after a watchdog claimed the ruling party had deployed an army of fake Twitter accounts.The petition was filed by the Blue and White party earlier this week in response to a report by an Israeli watchdog group which said it had uncovered a network of social media bots disseminating messages in support of the prime minister ahead of next week’s elections.Big Bots Project identified 154 accounts using false names, and another 400 accounts that were suspected to be fake. Researchers said they found over 130,000 tweets from “hundreds of fake or anonymous accounts” without names or profile pictures, which did not identify themselves as linked to Netanyahu’s Likud party. The also identified “hundreds of genuine accounts” backing the premier’s bid for re-election.Among the targets were journalists and public figures considered hostile to Netanyahu including his main challenger, Benny Gantz, leader of the centrist Blue and White party.Big Bots report identified a major figure behind the networks as Yitzhak Haddad, who told a private investigator in a recorded conversation that he was an “undercover activist” for the social media campaign. Haddad told the investigator the initiative promoting Netanyahu involved “a lot of money” and that he was in contact with senior Likud members.However, at the hearing Haddad denied any links to the Likud party, claiming his Twitter account was a personal one.“I am neither a political activist nor an undercover activist,” he told the panel.When he was asked to explain his remarks recorded in the phone call, Haddad said: “Someone contacted me over the phone about something else.”“It struck me as odd, but I wanted to know who it was,” he said. “He was the one who brought up the issue of right-wing political activism, so I just told him that I was an undercover activist.”Haddad was pressed by committee chairman Supreme Court Justice Hanan Melcer, who appeared unconvinced by the responses.“What did you mean when you said there was a lot of money involved?” he asked Haddad.“I meant that if a social media network like that did exist, it would probably cost a lot of money,” he told the judge. “But I have no idea myself, I don’t understand these kinds of things,” he said.“Then why did you say in the call that you were in contact with Likud lawyers,” Melcer pressed.“It was a joke, its all for the sake of Zionism,” Haddad said.Unamused, Melcer asked Haddad if the conversation took place during Purim, the Jewish festival where pranks are common.Likud social media campaign manager Yonatan Orich was also questioned and denied the ruling party had ties to any of the fake accounts, calling the Big Bots findings a “fake report.”“The Likud does not operate a single bot, or a social media network,” he told the panel, adding that all of its digital campaign activities are reported.The hearing came a day after Melcer urged police to investigate suspected Likud campaign law violations for funding of an online initiative to encourage right-wing voter turnout.Melcer called for a criminal probe after Likud director general Tzuri Siso, told the committee that the ruling party was behind the Move to the Right initiative.According to the Haaretz daily, Likud has bankrolled Move to the Right to the tune of NIS 15 million (approximately $4.1 million).Siso’s Tuesday admission marked a reversal from Likud’s claims up until then that it had no direct ties to Move to the Right, which has not been identifying itself as an official party initiative required by election advertising transparency laws.Melcer urged Likud to get its story straight, fined the party NIS 15,000 ($4,150) and recommended the opening of a police criminal probe — to be completed within three months and submitted to the attorney general and state comptroller.After the Big Bots findings were published on Monday, Netanyahu convened a press conference where he dismissed the report sarcastically, saying he thought it was an April Fool’s Day prank. He called it a “false libel” by the media based on a “fake investigation.”“Almost all of the examples, perhaps all of them, turned out to be real people. They have a name, they have a face, they have families, and the worst thing: they have opinions of their own. Independent people,” Netanyahu said. “Not one of them is fake.”Though the researchers had not claimed the accounts were not run by real people, a handful of Twitter users featured in the report spoke to media outlets to prove they were real.At the press conference, Netanyahu paraded 64-year-old Giora Ezra in front of the media to prove that his online supporters were real.But his attempt to present living evidence of his popular support soon appeared to backfire as dozens of Ezra’s tweets began to emerge, many of them featuring abusive, homophobic and racist insults directed at the prime minister’s rivals, journalists, and public officials.

Nadler wants the full Mueller report. What happens if Barr says no?-[Christian Science Monitor]-YAHOONEWS-Francine Kiefer-April 4, 2019

By the time the Justice Department hands over the full Mueller report to House Democrats – if it ever does – Donald Trump may no longer be president. In other words, get ready for a long tangle if this fight goes to court, as seems to be the intent of the House Judiciary chairman if he doesn’t get his way.On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to give its chairman, Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., authority to issue subpoenas for documents, testimony, and underlying evidence related to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign and Russia. Mr. Mueller found no collusion between the two, and in a summary of the report, Attorney General William Barr said that he and the deputy attorney general found that evidence was not sufficient to support a finding of presidential obstruction of justice.But Mr. Nadler and his fellow Democrats want to see the report for themselves – the entire report, not the redacted version that Mr. Barr is promising by mid-April. Mr. Barr says he cannot legally hand over the entire report because it contains information related to a grand jury, or to ongoing prosecutions, or that is classified or may unduly infringe on personal privacy.Hence Mr. Nadler’s subpoenas and court threat, which he intends to deliver on in “short order” if the Justice Department does not comply with a full report. Yet this seemingly tough stance belies a weakness in the supposedly mighty congressional subpoena: Its enforcement can be “inadequate,” in part because resolution can take years, according to a new report by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.The Judiciary Committee’s subpoena move – based on a partisan vote – also points to a different kind of weakness, say legal and government experts. It’s born of the expectation that as soon as an opposition party takes control in Congress, it cranks up the investigation machine – which in turn feeds the perception that subpoenas are much more about the interest of a party, than the interest of Congress as an institution.“It’s become increasingly routine for congressional committees to pound their chest and use the subpoena,” says Prof. Neal Devins, a constitutional scholar at William and Mary Law School in Williamsburg, Virginia. “When you do something repeatedly, it becomes a little ritualistic, it loses a little of its oomph.”This week, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform also authorized subpoenas – relating to security clearances given to 25 people despite rejection by career staffers, and to a question about United States citizenship in the upcoming Census.Congress has two ways to enforce a subpoena, and both are problematic, according to the Congressional Research Service Report, which came out last month.One is to ask the executive branch to enforce a criminal contempt citation for an individual who is willfully refusing to comply with a committee’s subpoena. But there’s an inherent conflict there if the executive branch is being asked to lower the hammer on itself.The other way is to pursue the case through the courts, which can take a long time and does not always ensure access to the information that a committee wants.Only four times in recent history has the House held an executive branch official (or former official) in criminal contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena. Not surprisingly, in all four cases the executive branch refused to prosecute, and three times the House looked to the courts.In one instance, Americans had elected a new Congress and president by the time a settlement was reached and the case dismissed (Committee on the Judiciary v. Miers). Most of the documents were provided, however, and Harriett Miers, the former White House counsel under President George W. Bush, had to testify under oath, but in a closed, transcribed hearing. Ms. Miers and White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten had refused subpoenas in 2007 for testimony and documents relating to the dismissal of U.S. attorneys, citing executive privilege.Similarly, former Attorney General Eric Holder also asserted executive privilege when he failed in 2012 to comply with a congressional subpoena in the “Fast and Furious” case about gunrunners, Mexican criminals, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. In that case, too, the House turned to the courts. It is still unresolved, even as the presidency and Congress have changed hands.Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., of the House Judiciary Committee says she is concerned about Congress’s ability to enforce subpoenas. In the case of the Mueller report, however, she says the public is on the side of Democrats. A slew of opinion polls show the vast majority of Americans want the full Mueller report released.“The American people will demand it,” says Congresswoman Dean. “Between their pressure and the power of the majority and this chairman offering the subpoena, I think we’ll be successful.” Last month, before Mr. Mueller submitted his report to the attorney general, the House voted almost unanimously to release the full report to Congress and to release all of the report to the public except those parts that are “prohibited by law.”But Republicans now say Democrats are playing politics with Mr. Nadler’s subpoena authorization. They argue that he’s pressing for the full report before he’s even seen the redacted version, and point to the restrictions that Attorney General Barr legally faces in sending the report to Congress.“They’re just determined to go after the president because Mueller wasn’t what they hoped,” says Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, ranking member on the Oversight Committee who also has a seat on Judiciary.Lawmakers and observers say it’s too early to know how the tussle between investigators in Congress and this White House will compare with previous times when the opposition took over – especially in the House, where it’s much easier for the majority party to work its will.Almost every shift in partisan control of Congress after a unified government has been followed by a wave of congressional investigations, and that’s especially true in intensely polarized times, says Douglas Kriner, co-author of the book, “Investigating the President: Congressional Checks on Presidential Power” and a government professor at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.Looking ahead, he says “Democrats have a lot of opportunities to score political points, just the way Republicans had a lot of opportunities in investigating Obama.”

Vandals spray swastikas on Berlin police graves-Officers are Roland Krueger, shot dead during a 2003 raid on a Kurdish-Lebanese crime family, and Uwe Lieschied, killed while confronting a street robber-By AFP-TOI-4 April 2019

BERLIN — Vandals spray-painted swastikas on the Berlin graves of two German police officers killed in the line of duty, sparking outrage Wednesday and an investigation by the domestic security service.One gravestone was toppled over, both were defaced with red spray-paint, and flowers were ripped out of their beds in the overnight attack on a cemetery in the Berlin district of Neukoelln.The late officers are Roland Krueger, a police commando member shot dead during a 2003 raid on a Kurdish-Lebanese crime family, and Uwe Lieschied, shot dead while confronting a street robber in 2006.The interior minister of the city-state of Berlin, Andreas Geisel, voiced his “disgust and shame” about the violation of the graves, which he described as “a wicked act directed against those who died while working to ensure our safety.”Other police officers restored the graves in the morning, while the BfV domestic security service took over the case because of the illegal Nazi symbol.

Lori Lightfoot will be Chicago’s 1st black, openly gay mayor-She replaces Rahm Emanuel, who didn’t run for a third term, joining seven other black women currently serving as mayors in major US cities-By Sara Burnett and HERBERT G. McCANN-TOI-4 April 2019

CHICAGO (AP) — Former federal prosecutor  defeated a longtime political insider Tuesday to become Chicago’s next mayor, the first black woman and openly gay person to lead the nation’s third-largest city.Lightfoot, who had never been elected to public office, easily defeated Toni Preckwinkle, who served in the City Council for 19 years before becoming Cook County Board president. Preckwinkle also is chairwoman of the county Democratic Party.Lightfoot promised to rid City Hall of corruption and help low-income and working-class people she said had been “left behind and ignored” by Chicago’s political ruling class. It was a message that resonated with voters weary of political scandal and insider deals, and who said the city’s leaders for too long have invested in downtown at the expense of neighborhoods.Chicago will become the largest US city to have a black woman serve as mayor when Lightfoot is sworn in May 20. She will join seven other black women currently serving as mayors in major US cities, including Atlanta and New Orleans and will be the second woman to lead Chicago.Lightfoot, 56, and her wife have one daughter.Brian Johnson, CEO of Equality Illinois, said the civil rights organization for lesbian and gay people was “thrilled” with the outcome.“This victory is historic, and it is also an undeniably proud moment for the LGBTQ community,” Johnson said.Lightfoot emerged as the surprising leader in the first round of voting in February when 14 candidates were on the ballot to succeed Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who decided against running for a third term.Lightfoot seized on outrage over a white police officer’s fatal shooting of black teenager Laquan McDonald to launch her reformer campaign. That was even before Emanuel announced he wouldn’t seek re-election amid criticism for initially resisting calls to release video of the shooting.“I’m not a person who decided I would climb the ladder of a corrupt political party,” Lightfoot said during a debate last month. “I don’t hold the title of committeeman, central committeeman, boss of the party.”Preckwinkle countered that her opponent lacks the necessary experience for the job.“This is not an entry-level job,” Preckwinkle has said repeatedly during the campaign. “It’s easy to talk about change. It’s hard to actually do it. And that’s been my experience — being a change maker, a change agent, transforming institutions and communities.”Joyce Ross, 64, a resident of the city’s predominantly black West Side who is a certified nursing assistant, cast her ballot Tuesday for Lightfoot. Ross said she believes Lightfoot will be better able to clean up the police department and curb city’s violence.She was also bothered by Preckwinkle’s association with longtime Alderman Ed Burke, who was indicted earlier this year on charges he tried to shake down a restaurant owner who wanted to build in his ward.“My momma always said birds of a feather flock together,” Ross said.Truly Gannon, a 39-year old mother of four who works as a dietitian, said she wasn’t bothered by stories that portrayed Preckwinkle as an insider aligned with questionable politicians like Burke. She supported Preckwinkle, based on her experience.“I’m not sure Lightfoot would be able to handle the job like Preckwinkle,” she said.The campaign between the two women got off to a contentious start, with Preckwinkle’s advertising focusing on Lightfoot’s work as a partner at Mayer Brown, one of the nation’s largest law firms, and tagging her as a “wealthy corporate lawyer.”Preckwinkle also tried to cast Lightfoot as an insider for working in police oversight posts under Emanuel and police oversight, procurement and emergency communications posts under Mayor Richard M. Daley.In one ad, Preckwinkle criticizes Lightfoot’s oversight of the emergency communications in 2004 when a fire killed four children. A judge ordered Lightfoot to preserve 911 tapes after questions were raised about how the emergency call was handled. The ad notes some of the tapes were destroyed, prompting the judge to rebuke Lightfoot. The ad sparked a backlash from the family of three of the children killed, with their sister accusing Preckwinkle of trying to take advantage of her family’s tragedy.Lightfoot also responded by scolding her opponent for being negative while also airing ads pointing out Preckwinkle’s connection to powerful local Democrats, including one under federal indictment.Preckwinkle spent much of her time during the campaign answering for her ties to Chicago’s political establishment. She and her supporters asserted her rise to Democratic Party leadership did not hinder her ability to oppose policies promoted by the city’s ever-powerful mayors.“My whole career has been about change, and change is action and results, not simply words,” said Preckwinkle, who asserts her experience makes her better positioned to lead a city with financial problems and poorer neighborhoods that are racked by gun violence.Despite the barbs on the campaign trail, the two advanced similar ideas to boost the city’s deeply troubled finances, which include an estimated $250 million budget deficit next year and billions in unfunded pension liabilities.Both candidates expressed support for a casino in Chicago and changing the state’s income tax system to a graduated tax, in which higher earners are taxed at a higher rate — two measures lawmakers have tried for unsuccessfully for years to pass.Lightfoot said that as mayor, she would focus on investing in neighborhoods on the West and South Sides and bring transparency and accountability to City Hall. She added she also wants to restore people’s faith in government.Election officials said turnout was approaching 30 percent just before polls were scheduled to close.

Erdogan’s AKP challenges election losses in Istanbul and Ankara-Justice and Development Party says ‘irregularities and falsifications’ plagued poll, in which the ruling party lost key cities-TOI-By AFP-4 April 2019

ISTANBUL, Turkey — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s AKP on Tuesday appealed against results in Istanbul and Ankara following a weekend election after tallies showed the ruling party lost both key cities.Erdogan’s AKP and coalition partner won more than 50 percent of votes nationwide in Sunday’s local ballot, but defeat in both Turkey’s capital and its economic hub would be a setback after the party’s decade and a half in power.The AKP appeals with electoral authorities, who have two days to decide whether the claims of irregularities have merit, may signal more ruling party challenges to the surprise opposition victories.“We have filed our objections with the electoral authorities in all 39 districts,” AKP’s Istanbul chief Bayram Senocak told reporters. “We have identified irregularities and falsifications.”He said the party had found an “excessive” difference between votes cast at ballot stations for their candidate and the data sent to electoral authorities.Hakan Han Ozcan, AKP’s Ankara chairman, told reporters they were also filing an appeal in 25 districts of the capital. Anadolu state news agency said results showed CHP opposition candidate Mansur Yavas with 50.93 percent of votes against 47.11 percent for the AKP.Istanbul, the largest city in the country, was a key prize for Erdogan and he had fielded former premier and loyalist Binali Yildirim as candidate for mayor.But Istanbul was a very tight race and both Yildirim and the opposition CHP candidate Ekrem Imamoglu claimed victory in the early hours of Monday when tallies showed them in a dead heat.-Symbolic gesture-Electoral authorities on Monday announced Imamoglu was ahead by 28,000 votes with nearly all ballot boxes tallied, prompting AKP officials to challenge to the result.Imamoglu had 48.79 percent of the votes while Yildirim had 48.52 percent, Anadolu reported on Tuesday, citing preliminary results.Imamoglu on Tuesday traveled to Ankara to lay flowers at the mausoleum of modern Turkey’s founder Musfafa Kemal Ataturk in a highly symbolic gesture Erdogan often does himself soon after his election wins.“Had the other party won, I would have said ‘congratulations Mr Binali Yildirim,’ which I do not say because I am the one who won,” Imamoglu told reporters.“They are behaving like a kid who has been deprived of his toy.”AKP party spokesman Omer Celik on Monday had said they had found discrepancies between reports from polling stations and vote counts in both Ankara and Istanbul.Erdogan, himself a former Istanbul mayor, had campaigned hard in the city. But the ruling party may have been stung by the economy with Turkey in recession for the first time since 2009 and inflation in double digits.

The Latest: NATO makes pitch for trans-Atlantic unity-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-April 3, 2019

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the United States and NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg (all times local):2:40 p.m.In the first address to Congress by a NATO head, Jens Stoltenberg has acknowledged serious divisions within the alliance.He also has called for bigger defense budgets to cope with global challenges such as Russian assertiveness, the core reason NATO was created in Washington 70 years ago this week.The NATO secretary general said: "We have to be frank. Questions are being asked on both sides of the Atlantic about the strength of our partnership. And, yes, there are differences."___10:35 a.m.The head of NATO is using the alliance's 70th anniversary to make an unprecedented pitch to a joint meeting of Congress for trans-Atlantic unity.Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday will be the first NATO secretary-general to make such an address.The venue highlights the strained relations between President Donald Trump and NATO members that have long looked to the United States for leadership and support in defending Europe and North America.Trump has questioned the value of NATO, its benefit to the United States and the motive of members he considers to be freeloaders.Stoltenberg is a two-time former prime minister of Norway and has praised Trump for pushing members to spend more on defense. He said before his speech that the invitation to appear before Congress was an expression U.S. public support.___12:10 a.m.President Donald Trump wants NATO members to continue increasing their financial contributions, offering allies his praise for stepping up those contributions in recent years but still complaining the U.S. continues to carry more than its share of costs.NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg visited the White House on Tuesday ahead of an address to Congress that's scheduled for Wednesday. His trip to the U.S. comes as the alliance marks its 70th anniversary.Trump took credit for the increased defense spending by NATO members even though the upswing began before Trump took office.After Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula, member countries agreed to boost defense budgets and "move toward" spending 2% of their gross domestic product on defense by 2024. The U.S. spends about 3.4% of its GDP on defense.

A commander of a Palestinian terrorist group in Syria said Wednesday the remains of an Israeli soldier missing since the 1982 Lebanon war were uncovered by armed factions at a Palestinian refugee camp outside Damascus.Anwar Raja, of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, said that militants excavated Sgt. First Class Zachary Baumel’s body from a cemetery near the Yarmouk refugee camp while searching for his remains and those of two other IDF soldiers who went missing during a bloody skirmish in the early months of the First Lebanon War.He said the remains had been transferred to Syria after the 1982 battle in the Lebanese border town of Sultan Yacoub.The Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday that it had repatriated the remains of Baumel via a third country, without providing details. Israel has expanded vast resources over the past 37 years to discover the whereabouts of Baumel and two other Israeli soldiers — Zvi Feldman and Yehuda Katz — also believed killed in the same battle.Baumel will be buried on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl military cemetery, the IDF said on Wednesday night.Raja said Israeli intelligence services coordinated the search for the bodies with the armed factions at Yarmouk. He added that Turkey was likely the third country that facilitated the return of Baumel’s remains to Israel, though Russia is widely believed to have played a role in finding and returning the remains.According to a Channel 13 News report Wednesday, Baumel’s body was returned together with the remains of at least 10 other people.The announcement of the discovery was initially delayed as officials believed Feldman’s body would be identified among the remains, an assessment that proved to be incorrect, the Haaretz newspaper reported. Medical examiners at the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute have reportedly examined most of the other bodies brought back, and have concluded that none of them were Feldman or Katz.The report said one body had yet to be ruled out as either of the two Israeli soldiers.IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus announced earlier Wednesday that Baumel, a Brooklyn-born American immigrant, had been returned to Israel and identified after nearly four decades of intelligence operations.Conricus declined to elaborate on how the return was arranged or where the remains were found, saying only that “an opportunity arose to locate the body.”Baumel’s remains, along with his jumpsuit and boots, were returned to Israel “on an El Al plane” via a third country earlier this week, he added.The Battle of Sultan Yacoub was a 1982 skirmish between the Israel Defense Forces and Syrian army in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley in which 21 Israeli servicemen were killed and more than 30 were injured.Though Baumel, Feldman and Katz were generally believed to have been killed in the battle, there has also been speculation and reports that they were captured by the Syrian military in Sultan Yacoub and brought to Damascus.In 2016, an Israeli tank lost in the battle was returned to Israel by Russia.In September, Moscow said that it had helped Israel search for the remains of missing soldiers in Islamic State-held territory in Syria.Spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said at a press conference at the time that Moscow offered the search operation as as goodwill gesture towards Israel in 2015, where both countries were operating militarily.Month earlier, a PFLP-GC official claimed that Islamic State members and other insurgents had excavated the remains of Baumel, Feldman and Katz from a cemetery near the Yarmouk refugee camp.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to travel to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, just six days ahead of Israeli elections.Moscow has been a powerful ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime in the country’s civil war.At a Wednesday press conference, Netanyahu said the return of Baumel’s remains was “one of the most moving moments in all my years as prime minister.” He said it was a “repayment of a moral debt to the fallen soldiers of the IDF, a repayment of a moral debt to their families.”Lebanese politician Walid Jumblatt questioned the of timing of Baumel’s return — six days before the Israeli election — saying the emotional end to the decades-long Israeli mission was a “precious” campaign gift for Netanyahu.“In the game of nations that manipulates the fate of peoples, the handover of the body of an Israeli soldier via unknown mediators is a free but precious gift to Netanyahu for his elections,” Jumblatt tweeted Wednesday, before sarcastically applauding the Syrian for being the “spearhead of Arab, regional and global defiance.”

Jeremy Hunt condemns Trump’s recognition of Golan Heights as Israeli-Foreign Secretary criticises the move in the House of Commons, saying the UK 'should never recognise the annexation of territory by force'-By Jewish News Reporter-April 2, 2019

Britain’s Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has condemned Donald Trump’s recognition of the Golan Heights as sovereign Israeli territory.Answering questions in the House of Commons on Tuesday morning, Hunt did not shy in criticising the Trump White House for breaking the post-war international consensus for not recognising sovereignty over land seized during war.Hunt made British policy clear in response to a question from Conservative grandee Sir Nicholas Soames, who said it was “a matter of the greatest regret that our allies, the United States, are in clear contravention of UN Resolution 497”.Soames said Trump’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan was illegal because “annexation of territory is prohibited under international law” and asked Hunt to “condemn unreservedly this breach of the rules-based order”.Hunt said he was “absolutely happy to do that,” adding: “We should never recognise the annexation of territory by force… that has been one of the great achievements since the founding of the United Nations.”The foreign secretary said he condemned Trump’s actions “with a heavy heart” because Israel was also “an ally and a shining example of democracy in a part of the world where that is not common… We want Israel is to a success and we consider them to be a great friend but on this we do not agree.”Israel seized control of the strategic plateau in the Six Day War of 1967. Ever since, the majority of Israelis have opposed its return to Syria in polls and surveys, even if it came with a full peace treaty including diplomatic relations, demilitarisation and international security guarantees.Analysts said Trump’s announcement on Monday last week was timed to support his friend Benjamin Netanyahu in next week’s Israeli election, and to reassure Israel supporters in the US at the start of the annual AIPAC conference.In 1981 Israel tried to annex the territory but the move was not recognised internationally. This led to UN Security Council Resolution 497, which said “the Israeli decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights is null and void and without international legal effect”.However in 2016 Netanyahu said Israel would “never” give up the Golan Heights, and has since made great play of the Iranian threat on Israel’s northern border.

Hamas chief says rocket fire at Tel Aviv due to ‘malfunction’-But Ismail Haniyeh warns the launches are only ‘a small example’ of what Israel will face ‘if it decides to perpetrate any stupidity’-By TOI staff    4 April 2019

The leader of the Hamas terror group said Tuesday that last month’s rocket launches from the Gaza Strip toward central Israel were unintentional, but warned they were an “example” of what could happen intentionally in a future conflict.Three rockets were fired at the Tel Aviv region last month, in what some have claimed were due to technical malfunctions. The fire set off brief flare-ups of fighting, which have since died down as the sides move toward a reported truce agreement.“The rocket that hit Tel Aviv was [the result] of a technical malfunction, but it is a small example of what the occupation will face if it decides to perpetrate any stupidity,” Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the terror group’s Politburo, told analysts and writers in a meeting, according to Palestinian website Quds News Network.“That which is unknown is greater,” he added.One of the attendees at the meeting with Haniyeh confirmed to The Times of Israel the Hamas leader’s comments on the rocket fire being a mistake and a warning to Israel.The attendee, who asked not to be named, also confirmed that Haniyeh said Hamas’s chief in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, was meeting with an Egyptian security delegation when two rockets were fired and that all of the group’s leadership had been surprised by the rockets.The firing of two rockets toward Tel Aviv on March 14 marked the first time projectiles were launched from Gaza toward the country’s economic hub since the 2014 war between Israel and Hamas.In response to the launches, Israel struck some 100 targets in Gaza before an unofficial ceasefire was reached the next day.Israeli television reports at the time said the rockets were accidentally fired when low-level Hamas operatives “messed with” a Gaza beach rocket launcher that was set up to fire toward Tel Aviv in the event of future conflict.Channel 13 said the farcical chain of events that almost led to war was “like something out of Monty Python,” referring to the legendary British comedy group.Last week, another rocket was fired from Gaza toward central Israel, striking a home in the farming community of Mishmeret and wounding seven people.The attack set off several days of fighting and increased tension between the Gaza-ruling Hamas and Israel.The Israel Defense Forces responded to the incident with airstrikes on scores of Hamas targets and Palestinian terror groups launched dozens of rockets at Israeli communities in the Gaza periphery.Days later, a senior member of Hamas’s military wing said the rockets fired toward central Israel launched on their own due to the terror group’s heightened war footing.“The early, automatic activation of the rockets from Gaza was the result of a decision of the resistance’s leadership to heighten its fighting preparedness,” the unnamed Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades official told Al-Jazeera.Adam Rasgon contributed to this report.

Why U.S.-Russia clash over Venezuela has a familiar ring-[Christian Science Monitor]-YAHOONEWS-Howard LaFranchi-April 4, 2019

Back in 2014 when Russia was first putting boots on the ground in Syria, Moscow justified its military intervention by noting it was acting both in support and at the invitation of the besieged government of Bashar al-Assad.The United States, on the other hand, had already declared that President Assad had to go and that it was acting in the Syrian conflict in support of the democratic aspirations of the oppressed Syrian people.Fast forward to 2019 and we see the same big-power tussle playing out in Venezuela.Recommended: Why Republicans are balking at replacing Obamacare, again-Once again the U.S. is positioned on the side of the oppressed people and is again insisting that the authoritarian leader – in this case President Nicolás Maduro – must go. Russia, on the other, has dispatched military personnel to Caracas, claiming as it did with Syria that it is acting in support and at the invitation of the legitimate government of Mr. Maduro.In Venezuela as in Syria, the two global powers are acting in support of the principles they have consistently upheld – or some cynics would say used – in recent years in response to regional upheavals.“You have a similar dynamic at play in these cases where the U.S. sees a government that is undermining human rights, oppressing its own people, and is causing regional problems, and Russia says on the contrary, ‘We don’t care what governments do at home, that’s their business, but we don’t want the United States going in and pressuring for a change of governments,’” says Christopher Miller, a professor of international history at Tufts University’s Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.“For Russia, it doesn’t matter if dictators are in charge; what matters is that they consider them the legitimate government,” he adds. “And if they are the legitimate government, outsiders should not be acting to undermine them.”Russia has taken this position in opposition to the U.S. approach as far back as the Iraq war and the NATO intervention in Libya, Professor Miller says. But it has resurfaced in the Western Hemisphere in Venezuela, where Russian President Vladimir Putin has dispatched as many as 200 military personnel to bolster Mr. Maduro’s hold on power.President Donald Trump stated categorically at a White House press encounter last week that the Russian troops must leave Venezuela. But Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reportedly told Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a phone call last week that Russia acted to foil a coup that the U.S. was organizing against Mr. Maduro and that the Russian military personnel would stay put as long as Mr. Maduro remains under outside pressure.As a further sign of Russia’s deepening commitment to keeping Mr. Maduro afloat, the Russian state-run oil giant Rosneft is now acting to facilitate Venezuela’s export of crude oil by providing the chemical diluents, or thinners, necessary to make Venezuela’s particularly thick crude exportable. Until now those chemical diluents had been imported from the U.S.As Russia acts to shore up Mr. Maduro, it broadly has the force of international norms on its side, some diplomatic experts say.“The standard international-law view of the matter is that you cannot intervene in a country without its permission,” says Michael Doyle, an expert in international law and humanitarian intervention at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs in New York. “What is legal is to intervene at the invitation of the government.”CLASH OF VALUES-Thus the United States has legally placed counterterrorism forces in a number of African countries in recent years and maintains military bases in countries from Europe to Asia because in each case it is there at the invitation of the government.“Based on that, one would say that the fact the government of Maduro has invited Russian troops is within the normal right of any sovereign government,” Professor Doyle says.At its core, international experts say, the tussle between the two global powers is really a clash of values, with the U.S. on the side of individuals’ rights and Russia upholding the traditional authority of sovereign governments.“Russia is quite open that values like human rights shouldn’t play a big role in how you relate with neighbors. It should be state to state,” Professor Miller says.Adds Professor Doyle, “If you did the most basic evaluation of this battle over interventions in Venezuela, you’d probably have to say that under international law Russia is in the better legal territory but not so good ethical territory.”In any case, the Venezuela case is “not so cut and dried,” Professor Doyle adds, because the U.S. and more than 50 other countries – including most of Venezuela’s neighbors and most of Washington’s staunchest Western allies – have declared Mr. Maduro illegitimate as a result of deeply flawed elections that gave him a second mandate. In his place the U.S. and the other countries have recognized opposition leader Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s legitimate president.“That raises the question who is the legitimate government in Venezuela? Who is the legitimate authority?” Professor Doyle says.RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT-Another wrinkle in the U.S.-Russia tussle over Venezuela is that in recent years the international community has increasingly recognized another principle – the so-called responsibility to protect, often abbreviated to R2P – as another international norm governing intervention.The new doctrine, formally adopted by the United Nations in 2005, basically states that governments have responsibilities toward their own populations and opens the door to legitimate outside intervention in the case of derelict governments either not safeguarding or acting against their own people’s well-being.“So if Maduro is engaging in violence against his own people or is failing to provide basic needs, as Venezuela’s severe humanitarian crisis would seem to suggest, then he could be subject to R2P,” Professor Doyle says.But once again, Russia could be expected to stand in the way. “It’s pretty safe to assume Russia wouldn’t let that happen,” he adds. “They would veto any action along those lines in the [United Nations] Security Council.”The Fletcher School’s Professor Miller says the standoff between the U.S. and Russia on intervention in internal conflicts goes back for some time, but he says it has gained prominence in recent years “as Russia’s desire to contradict the United States and take the other side has intensified.”But he and other experts say Russia’s determination to act globally on its position can be traced to the Ukraine conflict, when the U.S. and Western European powers intervened diplomatically in 2014 when it appeared that the government in power was going to use force against anti-government protesters. Eventually the pro-Russia government fled amidst political upheaval and was replaced by a pro-Western government.“Vladimir Putin is giving the United States a taste of its own medicine by supporting Maduro, and it probably goes back to the way things unfolded in the Ukraine,” Professor Doyle says. “He wants the U.S. to feel what it’s like to have its backyard intruded into.”

Embattled Trudeau buoyed by party, could still face wrath of Canadian voters-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Steve Scherer and Julie Gordon-April 4, 2019

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party rallied behind him on Wednesday over his expulsion of two former Cabinet ministers who had questioned his leadership, but he is still in a battle to regain dwindling support before a general election in October.Trudeau told an emergency meeting of legislators on Tuesday that former Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould and former Treasury Board chief Jane Philpott had undermined the party and betrayed its trust.The almost two-month old scandal centered on Wilson-Raybould, who in February said officials had inappropriately pressured her while she was justice minister to ensure construction company SNC-Lavalin Group Inc would escape a corruption trial.In recent weeks, senior party figures and lawmakers had grown frustrated with Trudeau's handling of the crisis, especially since both former ministers remained in the caucus despite their open hostility.A long list of ministers and Liberal parliamentarians echoed Trudeau's emphasis on party unity on Wednesday, but the opposition reiterated that the expulsions were proof of a cover up.It is too soon to say whether Trudeau's problems are over, political analysts said."This scandal has blotted out the sun. Now the question is, did he kill it?" said Ipsos pollster Darrell Bricker. Last week Ipsos put the Conservative Party 10 points ahead of the Liberals, thanks to the SNC-Lavalin affair."This issue has taken Trudeau into a territory where he could really lose," Bricker said, adding that while the prime minister had now shored up his standing as party leader, he still must win back public opinion.But another pollster, Frank Graves at Ekos, said there were signs the damage had been limited and that there was fatigue over the issue among the general public. Ekos polls showed the Liberals had lost 3-4 percentage points during the scandal."But the numbers we are seeing now are same as they were before," Graves said.Wilson-Raybould and Philpott, who quit as minister because she disagreed with how the SNC Lavalin affair was being managed, stood side-by-side while speaking to reporters on Wednesday.They said they had defended the independence of the judiciary and had no regrets, but they stopped short of attacking Trudeau head on or threatening legal recourse.The affair has hurt the prime minister's image as a self-avowed feminist and a leader who has taken to heart the cause of Canada's indigenous population.He recruited candidates such as Wilson-Raybould, who was named as the first indigenous justice minister, and Philpott in part because they were new to politics.During a special event in parliament aimed at encouraging more women to get involved in politics, some of the attendees turned their backs on Trudeau as he spoke, prompting several of his Cabinet ministers to come to his defense."We have a strong prime minister that is a feminist," Tourism Minister Melanie Joly told reporters."I would argue that loyalty and feminism are two different things. There's no male or female definition of loyalty. Either you want to work in a team, or you don't."(Reporting by Steve Scherer and Julie Gordon; editing by David Ljunggren and Grant McCool)

Death toll from Indonesia floods, mudslides rises to 89-[Associated Press]-YAHOONEWS-March 19, 2019

JAYAPURA, Indonesia (AP) — The death toll from flash floods and mudslides triggered by torrential downpours in Indonesia's easternmost province has risen to 89, with dozens of others missing, officials said Tuesday.Floodwaters and landslides destroyed roads and bridges in several areas of Papua province's Jayapura district early Sunday, hampering rescue efforts.National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said the worst-hit area from the flooding was Sentani subdistrict, where tons of mud, rocks and trees from a landslide on a mountain rolled down to a river that burst its banks, sweeping away residents.He said 89 bodies had been pulled from the mud and wreckage of crumpled homes by Tuesday. Another 159 people were injured, including 84 who were hospitalized, many with broken bones and head wounds.The number of dead is expected to rise as rescue workers comb through affected areas.More than 1,600 rescuers, including soldiers and police, faced difficulties on Tuesday in clearing huge piles of debris due to shortages of heavy equipment, said Papua military spokesman Col. Muhammad Aidi."We face difficulties removing debris and the bodies under rubble as we don't have enough excavators," Aidi said, adding that rescuers were searching for 74 people reportedly missing and feared dead.Nugroho said about 7,000 residents were displaced from their homes, with more than 400 houses and other buildings damaged and thousands of others submerged.Seasonal downpours cause frequent landslides and floods that kill dozens each year in Indonesia, a chain of 17,000 islands where millions of people live in mountainous areas or near fertile flood plains.

Ethiopian Airlines 737 crash report expected Thursday: sources-[AFP]-YAHOONEWS-April 3, 2019

New York (AFP) - Ethiopian officials on Thursday are expected to release preliminary conclusions in the probe of last month's crash of a Boeing 737 that killed 157 people, two sources told AFP on Wednesday.The report on the March 10 crash on the Ethiopian Airlines plane could be published late Thursday morning in Ethiopia, which would be in the middle of the night in the continental United States, said the sources close to the investigation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.News of the report's impending release came as the Federal Aviation Administration announced a new review of the 737 MAX and as the head of Boeing joined a test flight designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the company's proposed fix.Aviation regulators around the world grounded Boeing's 737 MAX last month following the Ethiopian Airways crash, which came less than five months after an October Lion Air crash that killed 189 people.Scrutiny has centered on an anti-stall system developed specifically for the latest versions of the planes that has given pilots problems.The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that pilots on the doomed Ethiopian plane initially followed emergency steps outlined by Boeing but still could not regain control.The pilots shut off the anti-stall system, called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, but switched it back on because they could not regain control, The Journal reported, citing people briefed on the preliminary findings.- Boeing's CEO personally tests fix -The FAA announced it was establishing a new interagency team to review the certification of the automated flight control system on the 737 MAX.The group "will evaluate aspects of the 737 MAX automated flight control system, including its design and pilots' interaction with the system, to determine its compliance with all applicable regulations and to identify future enhancements that might be needed," said a spokesman for the FAA, which faced tough questioning at a Senate hearing last week over its relationship with and oversight of Boeing.The initiative will be chaired by former National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Chris Hall and include experts from the FAA, NASA and international aviation authorities.Meanwhile Boeing, seeking to win back public confidence in the planes, released photographs of its chief executive, who joined a test flight of a 737 MAX with the company's updated anti-stall system.The FAA said Monday that Boeing needed to undertake more work on the proposed fix before it could be submitted for review.Boeing distributed a cockpit photo of Chief Executive Dennis Muilenburg wearing earphones and seated behind two pilots.A second shot showed the Boeing chief exiting the aircraft at Boeing Field in Washington state."The flight crew performed different scenarios that exercised various aspects of the software changes to test failure conditions," the company said. "The software update worked as designed and the pilots landed safely at Boeing Field."Boeing said it planned to submit its proposal to the FAA in the coming weeks following "a thorough and disciplined approach to the development and testing" of the enhancements.

18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

FALSE POPE FROM THE VATICAN

ISAIAH 23:15-17
15  And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
16  Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
17  And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.(COULD THIS BE 70 YEARS AFTER ISRAEL BECAME A NATION IN 1948)(IF SO THIS SATANIC ONE WORLD WHORE CHURCH WILL MINGLE TOGETHER BY 2018)(AND NOW ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY AND ALL RELIGIONS ARE MINGLING AS ONE PEACE-LOVE-JOY-GET ALONG RELIGION LEAD BY THE VATICAN RIGHT NOW 4 YEARS FROM THE 70 YEAR TIME WHEN ISRAEL BECAME A NATION).AND IN CONTROL OF JERUSALEM.

REVELATION 17:1-5,9,15-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,(VATICAN IN POLITICS) and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman (FALSE CHURCH) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,(VATICAN COLOURS)(ANOTHER REASON WE KNOW THE FALSE POPE COMES FROM THE VATICAN) and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.(THE VATICAN IS BUILT ON 7 HILLS OR MOUNTAINS)
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen,(1-ASSYRIA,2-EGYPT,3-BABYLON,4-MEDO-PERSIA,5-GREECE) and one is,(IN POWER IN JOHNS AND JESUS DAY-6-ROME) and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.(7TH-REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE OR THE EUROPEAN UNION TODAY AND THE SHORT SPACE IS-THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL HAVE WORLD CONTROL FOR THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS.BUT WILL HAVE ITS MIGHTY WORLD POWER FOR THE FULL 7 YEARS OF THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION PERIOD.AND THE WORLD DICTATOR WILL BE THE BEAST FROM THE EU.AND THE VATICAN POPE WILL BE THE WHORE THAT RIDES THE EUROPEAN UNION TO POWER.AND THE 2 EUROPEAN UNION POWER FREAKS WILL CONTROL AND DECIEVE THE WHOLE EARTH INTO THEIR DESTRUCTION.IF YOU ARE NOT SAVED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.YOU WILL BE DECIEVED BY THESE TWO.THE WORLD POLITICIAN-THE EUROPEAN UNION DICTATOR.AND THE FALSE PROPHET THAT DEFECTS CHRISTIANITY-THE FALSE VATICAN POPE.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,(WORLD DICTATOR) these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.(BOMB OR NUKE THE VATICAN)
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city,(VATICAN) which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Trump: Kushner had ‘a very easy life’ until he pursued Mideast peace-US president says his son-in-law ‘wouldn’t trade’ the tough work of peacemaking for a return to New York real estate-By Eric Cortellessa-TOI-4 April 2019

WASHINGTON — Jared Kushner had an uncomplicated life until he started pursuing Israeli-Palestinian peace, his father-in-law, US President Donald Trump, said Monday.“Jared had a very easy life,” Trump said. “He was doing phenomenally in New York and everything he touched has turned to gold. And then one day he said, ‘I wanna come down and I wanna have peace in the Middle East and I wanna do criminal justice reform and I wanna do all these wonderful things,’ and his life became extremely complex.”Kushner, 38, has been tasked with leading Trump’s efforts to broker an agreement that has eluded diplomats for decades. The president’s remarks came at a White House event celebrating congressional passage of a prison reform bill that Kushner also pushed for.Trump praised Kushner, who formally serves his administration as a senior adviser, for what he described as his sacrificing his previously undemanding career.“And he wouldn’t trade it,” the president added. “I don’t think he’d trade it because what he’s doing is incredible. And he is doing great in the Middle East.”Kushner’s real estate dealings have not been quite as golden as the president made out, most notably the 666 Fifth Avenue office building in New York-Kushner purchased the building in 2007 for $1.8 billion in a mostly debt deal, but the housing crisis triggered financial setbacks for 666 Fifth Avenue. He has been probed for allegedly attempting to use his position to seek foreign funding for the building.At the event — dubbed by the White House as the 2019 Prison Reform Summit — Trump steered clear of many of the controversies surrounding Kushner’s role in the administration.The Democratic-controlled House Oversight and Reform Committee recently announced that it was investigating the alleged use by Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, of a personal email account for official White House communications. Ivanka Trump also serves as an adviser to the president.Kushner also ignited uproar after his White House security clearance was approved despite the objections of American intelligence agencies, including the CIA. The New York Times reported that Trump ordered his former chief of staff John Kelly to order a top-secret clearance for him.The full scope of the officials’ concerns about Kushner are not clear.But he came under intense scrutiny since landing his White House gig, with multiple investigations into potential wrongdoing, including whether he coordinated with Russian officials to influence the 2016 election.The conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report, which did not recommend an indictment against Kushner, puts him in the clear, though he remains a subject of several Congressional probes.On Monday, Trump extolled Kushner’s role in championing the First Step Act, one of the administration’s few legislative achievements. The law will allow prisoners convicted of nonviolent offenses who demonstrate “good behavior” the opportunity to shorten their sentences. It also includes a number of other measures to curb the rate of repeat offenders.The president said that Kushner’s efforts to solidify an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal could yield success, though currently, the White House’s Middle East peace efforts appear moribund, as Palestinians have refused to work with the administration since it recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and subsequently moved the US embassy there.After Palestinian Authority officials said Washington had forfeited its right to act as an honest broker in negotiations and declined to participate in its peace efforts, Trump cuts American aid to the PA, the East Jerusalem hospital network, Israeli-Palestinian co-existence programs, and UN agencies that serve Palestinian populations.Trump’s team, led by Kushner and special envoy Jason Greenblatt, is expected to roll out its long-awaited peace plan after Israel’s April 9 election. Palestinians have already indicated that they won’t accept any proposal Trump presents. Nevertheless, the president suggested Monday that his son-in-law’s quest might bear fruit.“Someday, before we’re finished,” Trump told Kushner, “I think you’re going to have something very important to sign.”
