Canada hoping U.S. gets on board as it moves to update gender info on NEXUS cards-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-April 22, 2019

Canada's border agency is about to shake up the way it tracks sex and gender information — which could lead to some awkward conversations with Washington.For the past two years, the federal government has been looking into how to introduce a third gender identifier across federal departments — something beyond checking off "male" or "female" on a form.The new plan includes displaying gender information (how someone identifies) instead of sex information (biological characteristics) unless absolutely necessary, says an interim report prepared for the clerk of the Privy Council, a copy of which was obtained under access to information.The draft plan encourages departments to offer M, F and X as identifiers.It also says the policy overhaul would affect the NEXUS card, a program shared by the U.S. and Canada to help speed up border crossing for frequent, low-risk travellers.However, changing the card will require negotiations with the Trump administration, which recently banned most transgender people from serving in its military.Apart from the NEXUS card, the Canada Border Services Agency also issues ID cards for the Fast and Secure Trade Program (FAST) and corporate pilots.CBSA spokesperson Rebecca Purdy said the department can't force another country to follow its rules."As each of our domestic and international relationships are different (bilaterally and multilaterally), and we cannot impose our policies upon our partners, the CBSA will work to inform them of this government of Canada policy shift and hopefully reach a satisfactory solution wherever possible that respects Canadian laws and values," she said in an email to CBC.Frontline training needed-Helen Kennedy is the executive director of Egale Canada, a national LGBT advocacy group. She's urging the government to put up a good fight with the Americans."I don't think that we can be compromising our human rights, values and principles to accommodate anybody, quite frankly, regardless of who's in the White House. I do know that there are a lot of governments around the world that are hostile, not just the U.S.," she said."I would anticipate and hope that Canada would stand its ground and push for a more inclusive way of travelling for anybody who identifies as non-binary or trans, or whose gender expression doesn't match the marker on their passport."Kennedy said the policy shift needs to come with training for those on the frontlines."It is incredibly stressful for trans and non-binary folk, and for people whose gender expression may not reflect the markers on their passports, to travel anywhere. I think that it's a good initiative, but we also need to be aware of some of the complications that it brings with it," she said."If we don't provide the education and training to the folks who are reviewing these documents ... if they don't understand, if they don't have the language, if they're not comfortable or familiar with what an X marker can actually mean, then it can be very stressful for the traveller."The PCO report says a policy update also would bring the federal government in line with provinces that have made changes already. For example, people in Ontario and Alberta can choose an "X" identifier on their drivers' licences.Kennedy said she'd prefer if there were no gender markers at all, but supports the shift.Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) already has started down this path.Gender 'unspecified'-In 2017 it announced plans to offer a third option for Canadians to identify themselves on a passport. In the interim, people can ask that a free observation sticker be added to their passport or travel document that reads: "The sex of the bearer should read as 'X,' indicating that it is unspecified."IRCC said it doesn't know how many Canadian travellers have been refused entry to foreign countries because of their gender identity."Before booking, travellers are advised to check with all the countries they are planning to visit or transit through so they can be aware of entry requirements that may affect them," said a spokesperson in an email.The PCO report said implementation of the new gender identifier policy could take years and would have significant financial and operational impacts.It's not clear when federal forms will be changed officially, but former clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick, whose last day on the job was Wednesday, has said he's in favour of the current policy direction."Given domestic and international movement on this issue, it is clear that the government of Canada must be engaged and must coordinate action to respond at the federal level," he wrote in a letter to the Treasury Board, also obtained by CBC.The federal policy change also would affect military IDs, permanent resident and Indian Status cards, work permits, firearm licences and police record check letters.

Parents who starved and shackled children sentenced to life-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-April 22, 2019

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The eldest son and daughter of a couple who starved and shackled 12 of their children spoke publicly forthe first time Friday, alternately condemning and forgiving their parents before a judge sentenced the pair to up to life in prison.Since being freed from their prison-like home more than a year ago, the two adult children of David and Louise Turpin described how they had gained control of their lives and, despite receiving little education at home, were now enrolled in college and learning simple things, including how to ride a bike, swim and prepare a meal. They are still thin from years of malnutrition."I cannot describe in words what we went through growing up," said the oldest son, now 27. "Sometimes I still have nightmares of things that have happened, such as my siblings being chained up or getting beaten. But that is the past and this is now. I love my parents and have forgiven them for a lot of the things that they did to us."The hearing put an end to a shocking case that had gone unnoticed until a 17-year-old girl escaped from the home in January 2018 and called 911. Investigators discovered a house of horrors hidden behind a veneer of suburban normalcy.The children — ages 2 to 29 — had been chained to beds, forced to live in squalor, fed only once a day, allowed to shower only once a year and deprived of toys and games. They slept during the day and were active a few hours at night.As her children spoke from a lectern, 50-year-old Louise Turpin sobbed and dabbed her eyes with tissues."I'm sorry for everything I've done to hurt my children," she said. "I love my children so much."Her husband, who was shaking and could not initially read from a written statement, let his lawyer speak for him until he regained his composure. He did not apologize for the abuse but wished his children well in with their educations and future careers and hoped they would visit him. He then began sobbing.Jack Osborn, a lawyer representing the seven adult Turpin children, said they understand the consequences of their parents' actions and are working hard toward forgiving them. Some plan to talk with their parents eventually, but others want no contact with them for 10 years.The one who called police was a hero for liberating her siblings, Osborn said."Maybe but for that we wouldn't be here today," he said.The sentence of life with no chance of parole for 25 years was no surprise. It had been agreed to when the couple pleaded guilty in February to 14 counts each that included torture, cruelty and false imprisonment.The courtroom fell hushed as the oldest daughter, now 30, entered wearing a blue cardigan over a white shirt, her dark hair in a ponytail. Her eyes were already red from crying when she began to speak in the voice of a little girl."My parents took my whole life from me, but now I'm taking my life back," she said, as her mother's lower lip quivered trying to hold back the tears. "Life may have been bad but it made me strong. I fought to become the person I am. I saw my dad change my mom. They almost changed me, but I realized what was happening. I immediately did what I could to not become like them."There was no explanation from the parents or lawyers about why the abuse occurred, but a letter from one of the children read by an attorney hinted at a home life that veered from birthday celebrations and trips to Disneyland and Las Vegas to severe punishment and disarray."Through the years, things became more and more overwhelming, but they kept trusting in God," the girl wrote "I remember our mother sitting in her recliner and crying, saying she don't know what to do."She said her parents did not know the children were malnourished because they thought the children inherited a gene from their mother, who was small.From the outside, the home in a middle-class section of Perris, a small city about 60 miles (96 kilometres) southeast of Los Angeles, appeared to be neatly kept, and neighbours rarely saw the kids outside, but nothing triggered suspicion.But when deputies arrived, they were shocked to find a 22-year-old son chained to a bed and two girls who had just been set free from shackles. All but one of the 13 children were severely underweight and had not bathed for months. The house was filled with the stench of human waste.The children said they were beaten, caged and shackled if they did not obey their parents. Investigators concluded that the couple's youngest child, a toddler, was the only one who was not abused.David Turpin, 57, had been an engineer for Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. Louise Turpin was listed as a housewife in a 2011 bankruptcy filing.The teenage daughter who escaped jumped from a window. After a lifetime in isolation, the 17-year-old did not know her address, the month of the year or what the word "medication" meant.But she knew enough to punch 911 into a barely workable cellphone and began describing years of abuse to a police dispatcher.Although the couple filed paperwork with the state to homeschool their children, learning was limited. The oldest daughter only completed third grade.Referring to the restraints, the oldest daughter's statement said her mother "didn't want to use rope or chain but she was afraid her children were taking in too much sugar and caffeine."Life got more difficult after her mother's parents died in 2016.Her parents tried their best, "and they wanted to give us a good life," she said. "They believed everything they did was to protect us."___Associated Press writers Amanda Lee Myers and Michael R. Blood in Los Angeles contributed to this report.Brian Melley, The Associated Press.

Seagram heiress Clare Bronfman pleads guilty in New York sex cult case-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Brendan Pierson-April 22, 2019

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Seagram liquor heiress Clare Bronfman pleaded guilty on Friday to harboring an illegal immigrant and enabling credit card fraud as part of an alleged sex cult based in upstate New York.Bronfman, 40, entered her plea to the two criminal counts before U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis in federal court in Brooklyn, New York. She is one of several people charged in connection with a secretive organization called Nxivm, which federal prosecutors have described as a racketeering organization.Bronfman admitted that she knowingly harbored a woman brought to the United States on a fake work visa in order to obtain that woman's labor for herself and the organization. She also said she helped Nxivm's founder, Keith Raniere, use a deceased woman's credit card.As part of her plea, Bronfman agreed to forfeit $6 million, and not to appeal any prison sentence of 27 months or less. She said she was "truly remorseful.""I wanted to do good in the world and help people," she said. "However, I have made mistakes."Bronfman's lawyer, Mark Geragos, said after the hearing that his client did not have an agreement to cooperate with prosecutors.Actress Allison Mack, best known for her role on the WB television show "Smallville," pleaded guilty earlier this month to blackmailing two women in connection with Nxivm. Former Nxivm president Nancy Salzman and her daughter Lauren Salzman pleaded guilty in March.Another Nxivm member, Kathy Russell, also pleaded guilty Friday to falsifying a visa application for another person associated with Nxivm, leaving Raniere as the sole defendant in a trial expected to begin next week.Raniere, 58, was arrested on sex trafficking charges in March 2018, and is being held without bail.Prosecutors accused Raniere of running a cult-like secret society within Nxivm in which women were branded with his initials and forced to have sex with him.Last month, prosecutors unsealed new charges accusing Raniere of sexually exploiting a minor and coercing her to produce child pornography.Raniere has pleaded not guilty. Marc Agnifilo, one of his lawyers, has said that his client's sexual encounters with women in the organization were consensual, and denied the child pornography charges.On its website, Nxivm (pronounced "Nexium") calls itself "a community guided by humanitarian principles that seek to empower people and answer important questions about what it means to be human."(Reporting by Brendan Pierson in New York; Editing by Marguerita Choy)

Shot fired at Israeli troops from Gaza; IDF strikes Hamas posts in response-No one injured in exchange, which comes as unofficial ceasefire agreement between Israel and terror group said to advance; thousands protest on border-By Judah Ari Gross-22 April 2019

A gunshot was reportedly fired at Israeli troops serving along the Gaza border on Friday, prompting a number of retaliatory strikes against nearby Hamas positions, the Israel Defense Forces said.No injuries were reported on either side in the exchange of fire.The IDF said the soldiers were targeted while at the security fence. According to outlets in the Gaza Strip, the incident occurred east of the Gazan city Deir al-Balah.A short time later, an Israeli tank and aircraft targeted two Hamas observation posts along the Gaza border, the army said.“An IDF aircraft and tank attacked two military positions belonging to the Hamas terror group in the Gaza Strip in response to a shot that was fired a short time ago at troops near the security fence,” the IDF said.The fire came as troops were gearing up for the weekly protests and riots along the Gaza border that have been held almost every Friday for more than a year.Several thousand Palestinians took part in the protests later Friday, with some rioting along the border, throwing rocks and explosive devices at soldiers who responded with tear gas and occasional live fire.The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said 12 people were wounded by live fire.The exchange also came amid ongoing efforts to implement a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.On Thursday, senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya said Israel had agreed to lift restrictions on importing many “dual-use” goods into Gaza as a part of the understandings with terror groups there.For the past several years Israel has heavily restricted the entry of products that it labels “dual-use,” meaning that they can be used for both civilian and military purposes. Palestinians in Gaza have long been required to receive special permits to import goods that Israel categorizes as dual-use.“We extracted from the occupation the lifting of the restrictions and the ban…on 30 percent of these materials,” Hayya told the Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa TV in a long interview late Wednesday.The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, a Defense Ministry body responsible for liaising with Palestinians, declined to confirm or deny Hayya’s comments.“We do not respond to foreign reports,” COGAT said in an email.The Prime Minister’s Office declined to respond to a request for comment.According to a World Bank report that was issued on Wednesday, there are 118 goods that Israel classifies as dual-use in relation to Gaza and 56 to the West Bank. Those pertaining to Gaza include several chemicals, machinery including drilling equipment, jet skis and many other materials and products.The report said World Bank estimates found that “easing dual-use restrictions could bring additional 6 percent growth in the West Bank economy and 11% in Gaza by 2025, compared to a scenario with continued restrictions.”Hayya also warned that if Israel did not abide by the recent ceasefire understandings, Palestinians in Gaza would renew launching incendiary and explosive-laden balloons into the Jewish state, nighttime protests in the border region between the Jewish state and the coastal enclave, and other measures.“[Israel] not abiding….would mean the rough tools would return. Everything and more than the rough tools would return,” he said. “We say that we will not accept the siege staying in place.”“Rough tools” refer to the launching of incendiary and explosive-laden balloons into Israel and other activities along the border, which have included setting off small explosions, lighting tires on fire and pointing lasers at IDF soldiers.Since early April, the launching of balloons and nighttime protests have essentially been halted.Egypt, the United Nations and Qatar recently brokered ceasefire understandings between Israel and Hamas, which Hebrew media reports have said include an end to violence emanating from the Gaza in exchange for the Jewish state easing some of its restrictions on the movement of people and goods into and out of the coastal enclave.Adam Rasgon contributed to this report.

France said to tell Lebanon: Israel won’t tolerate Iranian-backed missile plant-Al-Hayat newspaper reports Paris issues warning to Beirut, based on intel from Jerusalem on Tehran-backed, weapons-manufacturing facility-By TOI staff-APR 22,19

France has warned Lebanon that Israel will not tolerate the existence of an Iranian-backed manufacturing facility for precision-guided missiles located inside the country, the London-based Arabic-language Al-Hayat newspaper reported on Saturday.Diplomatic sources from within the Arab world told the newspaper details of the facility were conveyed to France from the US and originated with Israel.The newspaper reported that France expects Lebanon to take action against the Iranian-backed production facility.Earlier this month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reportedly warned Beirut about a new missile production facility by Iranian proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon, saying that the actions of the terror group and Iran constituted a threat to both Israel and Lebanon.In January, President Reuven Rivlin told French President Emmanuel Macron that Israel could be forced to strike Hezbollah’s rocket-building operations “in the heart of Beirut,” a development he warned would drag Lebanon into a punishing regional war that neither side wants. Rivlin stressed at the time that Israel holds the Lebanese government responsible for all military activity in its territory and urged Macron to use France’s diplomatic clout to convince Beirut to contain the Iran-backed Hezbollah.It is unclear if the Al-Hayat report is referring to the same facility.The last major conflict between Israel and Lebanon was the 2006 Second Lebanon War.Israel has moved forcefully in recent years to prevent Hezbollah from obtaining advanced weaponry from Iran via neighboring Syria. Israel has become more public about its airstrikes in Syria which, it says, have destroyed thousands of Hezbollah and Iranian targets in hundreds of missions since the Syrian civil war broke out in 2011.Israel maintains that Hezbollah, with Iranian assistance, is working to set up factories in Beirut to produce precision-guided missiles it will ultimately direct against the Jewish state.Jerusalem has also vowed to prevent Iran from establishing a military foothold in Syria, where Tehran’s proxy militias — including Hezbollah — are helping the Damascus regime end the civil war, now in its eighth year.On Sunday, an Israeli satellite imaging firm released images of a Syrian military base that was targeted in an airstrike — attributed to Israel — in the predawn hours of last Saturday morning.According to a report by the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights in Arabic, a number of Iranian “elements” and pro-Iranian militants were killed in the alleged attack, and 17 people were injured.The area is known to house Iranian and Hezbollah forces.In a September 2018 speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu displayed a map pinpointing the location of the Hezbollah missile sites near Beirut’s airport, and accused the terror group of “deliberately using the innocent people of Beirut as human shields.”Netanyahu later said that Hezbollah closed the facilities he had revealed to the United Nations.Agencies contributed to this report.

China to show new warships as Beijing flexes military muscle on navy anniversary-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-By Ben Blanchard-April 22, 2019

QINGDAO, China (Reuters) - China will show off new warships including nuclear submarines and destroyers at a parade next week marking 70 years since its navy's founding, a senior commander said on Saturday, as Beijing flexes its increasingly well-equipped military muscle.President Xi Jinping is overseeing a sweeping plan to refurbish the People's Liberation Army (PLA) by developing everything from stealth jets to aircraft carriers as China ramps up its presence in the South China Sea and around self-ruled Taiwan.The navy has been a key beneficiary of the modernization plan as China looks to project power far from the country's shores and protect its trading routes and citizens overseas.Last month, Beijing unveiled a target of 7.5 percent rise in defense spending for this year, a slower rate than last year but still outpacing China's economic growth target.Deputy naval commander Qiu Yanpeng told reporters in the eastern city of Qingdao that Tuesday's naval parade - likely to be overseen by Xi himself, though China has not confirmed that - will feature 32 vessels and 39 aircraft."The PLA Navy ship and aircraft to be revealed are the Liaoning aircraft carrier, new types of nuclear submarines, new types of destroyers, as well as fighter aircraft," Qiu said, without giving details. "Some ships will be revealed for the first time."The Liaoning, the country's first carrier, was bought second-hand from Ukraine in 1998 and refitted in China.It's not clear if China's second carrier, an as-yet unnamed ship developed and built purely in China, will also take part, but in the past few days state media has run stories praising recent sea trials.Around a dozen foreign navies are also taking part. While Qiu did not give an exact number, China has announced the parade would include ships from Russia, Singapore, India, Thailand and Vietnam - which frequently complains of Chinese military activity in the disputed South China Sea.China's last naval battles were with the Vietnamese in the South China Sea, in 1974 and 1988, though these were relatively minor skirmishes.Chinese navy ships have also participated in international anti-piracy patrols off Somalia's coast since late 2008.STRONG NAVY 'ESSENTIAL'-Qiu reiterated China's frequent stance that its armed forces are not a threat to anyone and that no matter what happens it will never "pursue hegemony"."It is fair to say that the PLA Navy has not brought war or turbulence to any place," Qiu said.But China has been scared by its past and needs good defenses at sea, he added."A strong navy is essential for building a strong maritime country," Qiu said. "From 1840 to 1949, China was invaded by foreign powers from the sea more than 470 times, which caused untold suffering and deep wounds to the Chinese nation."China has frequently had to rebuff concerns about its military intentions, especially as military spending continues to scale new heights.Beijing says it has nothing to hide, and has invited foreign media to cover next week's naval parade and related activities, including a keynote speech by navy chief Shen Jinlong, who is close to Xi.Zhang Junshe, a researcher at the PLA's Naval Research Academy, told reporters after Qiu had spoken that inviting foreign navies to take part in the parade was a sign of China's openness and self-confidence, noting China had also done this for the 60th anniversary in 2009."New nuclear submarines and new warships will be shown - this further goes to show that China's navy is open and transparent," said Zhang.(Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Additional reporting by John Ruwitch in SHANGHAI; Editing by Kenneth Maxwell)

Little Italy Good Friday procession is an annual tradition for local families-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-April 19, 2019

One of Toronto's oldest Good Friday procession took place in Little Italy today as the community watched the re-enactment of what Christians believe to be Jesus's last moments.The annual St. Francis of Assisi Church procession is part of Holy Week in celebration of Easter. The three-hour event started at 3 p.m. on Friday and was comprised of around 6,000 participants, 10 floats and three bands."Part of it is just this devotion to come and be a part of it, but it's also just celebrating as a community, as a Christian community," said Laura Nigro, who has been attending the procession since she was a young girl."I was in the procession with my nonna and my sister and now that I'm a little bit older, I'm watching it and helping out in other ways. So, it's quite nice to be part of."For many, the event is a chance to connect with the community. The religious procession brings out hundreds every year who reenact the stations of the cross, symbolizing what Christians believe to be the path Jesus took before he was crucified.Stefania Matarazzo, who was there with her mother, said rain or shine, sick or healthy, she always attends this event."It's part of our culture, our religion and it's a tradition for us to come every year. And it's really nice to feel a sense of community that brings us here today," she said. The mile-long march has been around for decades and, for Sandra Centofante, the event is a long-standing tradition in her family dating back generations."This has been a family tradition," she said.Centofante's whole family joined their 94-year-old grandmother to watch the procession."Our grandmother lives here on Dundas and for the last 50 years I've been watching the procession. Every single year we get together on Good Friday."

Pope cites plight of migrants, children on Good Friday-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-April 19, 2019

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis used a Good Friday ceremony to decry "all the crosses" of suffering in the world, including those borne by migrants who find doors closed due to "political calculations" and children who are harmed in their "innocence and purity," in a reference to pedophile clergy.From a canopied platform on the Palatine Hill, Francis watched the traditional torch-lit, nighttime procession at Rome's Colosseum that solemnly recalled the crucifixion of Jesus. Along with thousands of pilgrims, tourists and Romans, he listened to reflections that were composed by an elderly Italian nun, who for 25 years has gone out to the city's streets to bring comfort and hope to migrant women who were trafficked into prostitution.Francis prayed to Jesus to help "us to see in your cross all the crosses of the world." The pope cited persons starved for food and for love, and those "abandoned even by their own children or parents.Then he touched on two issues heavily marking his papacy - how to promote the cause of often rejected migrants and to deal with a sea of scandals over Catholic clergy's sexual abuse of children.Francis said migrants "find doors closed because of fear and hearts hardened by political calculations."He also decried the "cross of the little ones, wounded in their innocence and their purity." Francis didn't directly cite the church scandals.The nun, Eugenia Bonetti, who works with many Nigerian women and other migrants who have fallen prey to human traffickers, spoke with Francis just before the start of the procession.Bonetti told Rai state TV that "we are all responsible" for these women's plight, saying "indifference is the biggest reason these girls are still on the street."In one of her meditations, read aloud as the faithful listened in utter silence, Bonetti said that "it is easy to wear a crucifix on a chain around our neck or to use it to decorate the walls of our beautiful cathedrals or homes." Less easy is acknowledging "today's newly crucified:" the homeless, unemployed youth, "immigrants relegated to slums at the fringe of our societies after having endured untold suffering," the nun said.Populist leaders in Italy and several other European countries have taken to holding a hard line against migrants, refusing to accept those rescued at sea from traffickers' unseaworthy boats. The U.S. administration of Donald Trump is also determined to keep out illegal migrants.Among those taking turns carrying a lightweight cross in the procession were a Nigerian woman and her daughter.In his brief comments, expressed in the form of a prayer, Francis also spoke of the "cross of the church," which he said "feels continuously under assault from the inside and the outside."The pontiff didn't elaborate. But staunchly conservative and more liberal factions among church hierarchy have been bitterly at odds during his six-year-old papacy. And eroding the church's moral credibility has been a flood of criticism from faithful and civil authorities in several countries over prelates' systematic shuffling of pedophile priests from parish to parish for decades rather than remove them from access to children.Earlier, during an evening prayer service, in St. Peter's Basilica, Francis kissed a crucifix held up in the centre aisle, then pressed his forehead for a moment against the wooden statue depicting Jesus. In another moment, he prostrated himself on the basilica floor in a sign of humility._Frances D'Emilio is on twitter at www.twitter.com/fdemilio-Frances D'Emilio, The Associated Press.

US envoy denies reports peace plan includes giving Palestinians part of Sinai-Social media posts show video of purported plan to create Palestinian state in Gaza and parts of the Egyptian-ruled peninsula; actual plan expected to be launched in June-By TOI staff-22 April 2019

WASHINGTON — US Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt on Friday denied rumors that the soon to be released Trump peace plan calls for the Palestinians to be given part of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula for an expanded Gaza.“Hearing reports our plan includes the concept that we will give a portion of Sinai (which is Egypt’s) to Gaza. False!” tweeted Greenblatt.With the Trump team keeping the details of the plan close to their chests (and with one report indicating that even US President Donald Trump has not seen the entire plan), rumors of its content have repeatedly swirled, particularly on social media.“Please don’t believe everything you read. Surprising & sad to see how people who don’t know what’s in the plan make up & spread fake stories,” Greenblatt said.Hearing reports our plan includes the concept that we will give a portion of Sinai (which is Egypt’s) to Gaza.

The Egyptians are currently battling an Islamic State-linked insurgency in the region. Egypt has also said in the past that it would not give up parts of the peninsula.The US administration’s peace plan will not be unveiled until June at the earliest,  Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner said Wednesday.Kushner told some 100 foreign diplomats the plan will be rolled out after the new Israeli government is sworn in and following the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends June 5.He urged them to keep an “open mind,” according to a source cited by the Reuters news service.“He said the plan will require concessions from both sides but won’t jeopardize the security of Israel,” Reuters quoted the source as saying.Greenblatt confirmed the content of the Reuters report.Little is known about the long-awaited plan, though recent reports in the Washington Post and Guardian suggested it would not include full Palestinian statehood.That is a likely deal-breaker for Palestinians, who were already not cooperating with Trump’s Middle East team following the US president’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017 and moving of the US embassy there in May 2018.New Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said Tuesday the plan will be “born dead.”“There are no partners in Palestine for Trump. There are no Arab partners for Trump and there are no European partners for Trump,” Shtayyeh said during a wide-ranging, hour-long interview with The Associated Press.Greenblatt has been sparing with Shtayyeh on Twitter over the deal in recent days.Basically, you’re saying: give us the deal we demand, or no deal. That’s consistent with Palestinian prior attempts. How has that worked out for Palestinians?

French envoy to US: Trump plan ‘very close to what Israel wants, 99% doomed’-Gérard Araud, a former ambassador to Israel, says he’s ‘very close’ with Jared Kushner, whom he describes as ‘extremely smart but has no guts’-By TOI staff-APR 22,19

France’s outgoing ambassador to the US, Gérard Araud, said US President Donald Trump is uniquely able to “push” Israel on his upcoming peace plan because he is extremely popular among Israelis and they “trust him.”In an interview with The Atlantic magazine published on Friday, Araud said the White House plan, engineered by Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, will be “very close to what the Israelis want,” and is 99 percent “doomed to fail.”“But 1 percent, you never forget the 1 percent. Trump is uniquely able to push the Israelis, because he is so popular in Israel,” he said.Araud, who served as France’s ambassador to Israel from 2003 to 2006, positioned himself as “very close” to Kushner, whom he described as “extremely smart, but he has no guts.” Araud has served as French ambassador to Washington since 2014 and is retiring.Kushner, Araud claimed, “doesn’t know the history” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, “and in a sense, it’s good — we are not here to say who is right, who is wrong; we are trying to find a way [toward a solution].”“So in a sense, I like it, but at the same time he is so rational, and he is so pro-Israeli also, that he may neglect the point that if you offer the Palestinians the choice between surrendering and committing suicide, they may decide the latter. Somebody like Kushner doesn’t understand that,” he asserted.Araud told the magazine that the White House was counting on three factors when it comes to the peace plan. The first is Trump’s popularity in Israel.“Trump, he said, is more popular than [Benjamin] Netanyahu in Israel, so the Israelis trust him. That’s the first bet, Kushner told me. The second is that the Palestinians may consider it’s their last chance to get limited sovereignty. And the third element is Kushner is going to pour money on the Palestinians. Don’t forget, the Arabs are behind the Americans. The plan is 50 pages, we were told, very precise; we don’t know what is in the plan. But we’ll see,” he said.Araud added that “the disproportion of power is such between the two sides that the strongest [Israel] may conclude that they have no interest to make concessions.”Israel is “extremely comfortable” with the status quo, he said, “because they [can] have the cake and eat it. They have the West Bank, but at the same time they don’t have to make the painful decision about the Palestinians, really making them really, totally stateless or making them citizens of Israel.“They won’t make them citizens of Israel. So they will have to make it official, which is we know the situation, which is an apartheid. There will be officially an apartheid state. They are in fact already,” he claimed.The details of the Trump plan have been kept under wraps, but rumors of its content have swirled, particularly on social media.Last week, Kushner said the plan will not be unveiled until June at the earliest. Kushner told some 100 foreign diplomats the plan will be rolled out after the new Israeli government is sworn in and following the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends June 5.He urged them to keep an “open mind,” according to a source cited by Reuters.Although little is known about the long-awaited plan, recent reports in the Washington Post and Guardian suggested it would not include full Palestinian statehood.That is a likely deal-breaker for Palestinians, who were already not cooperating with Trump’s Middle East team following the US president’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017 and moving of the US embassy there in May 2018.On Friday, US Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt warned both Israel and the Palestinians against rejecting Trump’s peace plan and rejected the use of the term “two-state solution” in an interview released by Sky News Arabic.There was no reason to use the term because each side understood it differently, Greenblatt said, according to Channel 12 news.He said both sides needed to be prepared for direct negotiations as each would have to make concessions, and there would be elements of the deal that each side would be satisfied with, and parts each would dislike.Greenblatt said both sides would miss an opportunity for peace if they did not accept the deal, but he issued a special warning to the Palestinians, noting they had already spoken out against the plan before seeing it, while suggesting that it could have a significant and positive impact on their future.In his interview with The Atlantic, Araud described Trump’s governing manner as “brutal, a bit primitive,” but said he is “right” in some issues, such as free trade.“What he’s doing with China should have been done, maybe in a different way, but should have been done before,” he said.Araud told the magazine that two particular instances during Trump’s presidency thus far shocked the French: the pullout from the Paris climate agreement and from the Iran nuclear deal.In both cases, according to his account, the French were under the impression that discussions surrounding the issues were going well.Araud said that before Trump announced the US pullout from the Iran deal, Paris was “negotiating with the administration on an agreement to complement[it]…, on missiles, terrorism, and Iran’s regional activities.”Araud said Paris and Washington were very close to an agreement, “people say 90 percent.”“There was absolutely no crisis in the negotiation. And suddenly overnight, everything was over. It was decided overnight; it was decided by Trump. Nobody was warned, and the day after, nobody was able to tell us what it meant for us,” he went on.He described the White House as “so dysfunctional,” however, adding there’s “only one person who can commit the United States [to an agreement], and it’s Donald Trump.”
