11 months after announcement, Israeli building permits for Palestinians stalled-The Times of Israel-Nearly a year since security cabinet approved 700 permits for Palestinians in Area C, plans for just 36 units have advanced
By Jacob Magid-june 24,20-Today, 8:06 pm
Eleven months after the security cabinet, in a rare decision, approved granting 700 building permits to Palestinians in Israeli-controlled Area C of the West Bank, an examination by The Times of Israel found that only a handful of such approvals have been issued.The top ministerial body’s debate on the matter last July — under the former interim government — was highly charged, with several of its more hardline members opposing what they called a “reward” for illegal construction carried out by Palestinians in the most sensitive area of the West Bank.Palestinians say they have little choice but to build illegally in Area C, which makes up 60 percent of the West Bank because as opposed to settlers, Israeli authorities rarely grant them permits. Between 2016 and 2018, just 21 of the 1,485 Palestinian applications for construction permits in Area C were approved by the Defense Ministry.Israel is currently weighing plans to annex as much as half of Area C, where nearly all of its 450,000 settlers live, and is hoping to do so without including the long-neglected villages where some 150,000 Palestinians are believed to live.Then-Transportation Minister Betzalel Smotrich arrives for the weekly cabinet meeting, at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, on June 24, 2019. (Noam Revkin Fenton/Flash90)-The security cabinet passed the plan to grant Palestinians 700 building permits, thanks largely to the backing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who analysts at the time speculated was seeking to signal to the US that he was willing to take steps toward the Palestinians that some in Jerusalem might consider to be compromises.Seemingly orchestrated leaks from that security cabinet meeting stated that the approvals were granted in parallel with 6,000 building permits for Israelis in the West Bank as well, in what was largely seen as an effort to placate settler leaders who opposed the decision.But Yamina MK Bezalel Smotrich, who served on the security cabinet at the time as transportation minister, said Wednesday that the 6,000 building permits had not actually been part of the discussion. On the other hand, he said the 700 permits granted for Palestinians were all for buildings that had already been built. The goal of the decision was to instruct authorities to create building plans that would regulate those structures so that they no longer would be under threat of demolition.Explaining his decision to support the move, Smotrich wrote at the time that the security cabinet was granting Palestinians who had been living in Area C before the 1994 Oslo Accords the right to build and develop “only in places that do not compromise settlement and security and do not… produce a de facto Palestinian state.”As to the current status of those permits, Smotrich, whose party now sits in the opposition, said Wednesday that he was unaware whether they had been granted.But an examination of the protocols from the nine Civil Administration Planning and Licensing Subcommittee meetings that took place since the July 2019 security cabinet decision found that the Defense Ministry body responsibly for authorizing construction in Area C issued just a handful of building permits during that time.US President Donald Trump, left, turns to give a pen to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, center, at the White House in Washington, March 25, 2019 after signing the official proclamation formally recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

(AP/Susan Walsh)-Plans for just 26 housing units were advanced in those meetings, with only six of those units — located in a single building — receiving actual building permits. The non-residential plans advanced in the year since the security cabinet approval included ones for a glass-making factory, a concrete-making factory, a medical clinic, an industrial park and a water treatment plant.The Civil Administration and Prime Minister’s Office both declined to expound on the limited number of plans for Palestinians that were advanced over the past year. Given Smotrich’s claims, and the fact that most of the building approvals from the past year have not been retroactive, it was possible that none of the 700 permits have been issued at all.At the same time, dozens of applications for building permits and plans were rejected by the Planning and Licensing Subcommittee.In addition to the Planning and Licensing Subcommittee, the Civil Administration’s Supervisory Subcommittee also has authority to grant building permits, but unlike the first body, the latter does not publish the protocols from its sessions. Moreover, a security official speaking anonymously acknowledged that it is exceedingly rare for the Supervisory Subcommittee to issue permits and instead it focuses primarily on demolition orders.Asked if it was possible for the Civil Administration to have issued permits without including them in protocols from their meetings, a spokesman for the Defense Ministry body declined to comment.An official from the Prime Minister’s Office said he would not comment on matters discussed in security cabinet meetings.“Apparently, the security cabinet’s decision that Netanyahu made sure to publicize as if Israel actually intended to approve any development for the millions of Palestinians in the occupied territories has turned out to be one big bluff, and even the few permits that were approved have not been issued,” fumed Hagit Ofran of the Peace Now settlement watchdog.The government’s policy remains one that grants almost no permits for Palestinians in Area C while Israeli settlers build about 2,000 units a year, she said.Ofran explained that the security cabinet vote had come just over a week after security forces carried out controversial demolitions in a PA-controlled area adjacent to East Jerusalem. In order to continue to carry out such enforcement, the High Court of Justice had asked Israeli authorities to demonstrate that they were also issuing orders for construction and not only for razing.“Netanyahu may have hoped that publicizing such decisions would save us from The Hague tribunal, but the truth is that what needs to change is actions, not talk,” Ofran said. “There is no Israeli interest in preventing Palestinian development in Area C, only the narrow interest of a minority of settlers who are not interested in the well-being of their Palestinian neighbors.”

Israeli arms developer unveils new anti-tank missile, with 32-kilometer range-The Times of Israel-Fifth-generation missile Spike NLOS being developed under contract with Poland, has ‘pinpoint accuracy,’ Rafael Advanced Defense System says-By TOI staff and Agencies-june 24,20- Today, 7:38 pm
Israeli weapons manufacturer Rafael Advanced Defense Systems this week unveiled a new anti-tank missile, the Spike NLOS.The fifth-generation missile was touted by the Israeli arms manufacturer as having a range of 32 kilometers (20 miles), with a low-signature launch and “pinpoint accuracy.”It can target sites both within and out of sight using digital coordinates and can withstand adverse weather conditions, the manufacturer said.The company is currently producing the missile for the Polish military, with the weapon unveiled as part of a contract with Warsaw.Spike anti-tank missiles are already in use by the Israel Defense Forces, where they are renamed “Tammuz” missiles.Israel is among the world’s top arms exporters. Defense exports reached $7.2 billion last year, the Defense Ministry said Monday, a 5 percent drop from 2018. The figure represented a 23% decline from 2017, though it was still in line with a general trend of growth over the past decade for Israel’s defense exports.The ministry said most sales were for missiles, rockets and air defense systems. Manned aircraft and weapons launchers were also in demand. The main destinations for the country’s exports were the Asia Pacific region, Europe and North America.The Defense Ministry said that while it had been expecting further growth in 2020, the coronavirus pandemic is likely to upend those plans. Still, the ministry said it hopes to turn the crisis into an opportunity for the Israeli defense industry, without elaborating.
Israel charges Gaza electrician with firing rockets, powering Hamas tunnels-The Times of Israel-Fadi Qadas, 32, accused of being in service of terrorist group for 15 years and of involvement in fighting against Israel; gag order bars details of his arrest
By TOI staff-JUNE 24,20-Today, 7:09 pm
Prosecutors on Wednesday filed charges against a Gazan electrician accused of firing missiles at Israel and supplying the power for the Hamas terror group’s cross-border tunnels into the Jewish state.
According to the indictment filed at the Beersheba District Court, Fadi Qadas, 32, was in the service of the terrorist group for 15 years, supplying it with electronic parts and guidance, including during the 2014 and 2012 wars against Israel.Qadas was arrested by Israeli forces last month, but details of his detention are barred from publication.The charges attributed to Qadas include nine counts of various terror charges, including membership in a terror group, service for a terror group and arms dealing.He is accused of firing hundreds of missiles and mortar shells at Israel on behalf of Hamas, including 107 missiles in rapid succession during a 2017 flare-up that sought to overwhelm the Iron Dome anti-missile system.Qadas was also responsible for powering the Hamas tunnels dug underneath the border with Israel, according to the charge sheet, and supplied gas balloons for airborne arson attacks on Israel in recent years.The indictment said the Gazan man was paid for his services by Hamas. It also said he had received financial compensation from the Palestinian Authority after incurring an injury in Israeli strikes.Since its violent takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007 from the Palestinian Authority, Hamas has fired thousands of missiles at Israel and fought three wars with the Jewish state. It has also built dozens of cross-border passages, which have since been destroyed by Israel, with its fighters infiltrating into the country on a number of occasions during 2014’s Gaza war and killing Israeli soldiers.
Putin hails victory over Nazis in Red Square parade delayed by virus-The Times of Israel-14,000 soldiers take part in annual event, marking 75th anniversary of World War II victory-By Jim Heintz-JUNE 24,20-Today, 5:37 pm
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed the defeat of Nazi Germany at the traditional massive Red Square military parade in Moscow, which was delayed by more than a month because of the invisible enemy of coronavirus.The parade is usually held May 9 on Victory Day, Russia’s most important secular holiday, but was postponed until Wednesday due to the pandemic. But the timing allowed Russia to mark another significant war-era event — the 75th anniversary of the Red Square parade by troops returning home after the Nazis’ defeat.“It is impossible to imagine what would have happened to the world if the Red Army did not stand up to its defense,” Putin said in an address to the parade.Some 14,000 soldiers took part in the parade, including units from several former Soviet republics and from Mongolia and Serbia.More than 230 military vehicles drove across the vast square in the Russian capital, ranging from renowned WWII-era T-34 tanks to hulking Topol intercontinental ballistic missile-launchers. A flyover of helicopters, bombers and fighter planes completed the show of military might.An estimated 27 million Soviets died in the war, either on the battlefield or as civilian casualties. Their valor and suffering has become key to Russia’s national identity.“It was our people who were able to overcome a terrible, total evil,” Putin said. “This is the main, honest, in-no-way-unclear truth about the war. We must protect and defend it, pass it on to our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.”Putin and other Russian officials have frequently expressed umbrage at what they see as attempts by other countries to “rewrite history” by downplaying the Soviets’ role in World War II.The appeal to Russian patriotism comes at an important time for Putin, with early voting beginning Thursday in a referendum on constitutional amendments that would allow him to run for another two terms as president, possibly in office until 2036.Russian President Vladimir Putin greets veterans prior to a military parade, which marks the 75th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two, at Red Square in Moscow on June 24, 2020. (Alexey NIKOLSKY / SPUTNIK / AFP)-Putin made no mention of the coronavirus pandemic in his speech, tacitly reinforcing his claim the previous day that Russia has passed the most dangerous stage in the pandemic. However, Russia has reported more than 7,000 new infection cases daily this week and has the third-highest confirmed number of infections in the world after the United States and Brazil.Many spectators in the viewing stands were wearing masks, but Russian soldiers in close formation on the square did not. Putin and other dignitaries on the main viewing stage also did not wear masks.Those dignitaries included elderly war veterans with rows of medals cascading down their chests. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said all the veterans in attendance had undergone quarantines before the event.Virus concerns forced Kyrgyz President Sooronbai Jeenbekov to abandon plans to attend the parade when two members of his delegation tested positive for the virus after arriving in Moscow on Tuesday. He and the delegation returned to Kyrgyzstan and the president went into self-isolation, according to his office.The virus also blocked an impressive event usually held in parallel to the parade. In recent years, vast crowds have streamed into the streets of Moscow and other Russian cities carrying photos of relatives who died in the war or endured it in processions called The Immortal Regiment. Although many coronavirus restrictions have been rescinded in Russia in recent weeks, bans on mass gatherings remain.

UN, Arab League urge Israel to abandon annexation plans: ‘A watershed moment’-The Times of Israel-Security Council meeting, Israel’s envoy denies applying sovereignty to West Bank is tantamount to annexation, claims move ‘does not stand in the way of peace’-By AFP and TOI staff-june 24,20-Today, 8:06 pm
The United Nations and the Arab League joined Wednesday in calling for Israel to abandon its plans to annex parts of the West Bank, as the Jewish state’s envoy to the international body insisted the step would not stand in the way of peace with the Palestinians.The calls were made during a UN Security Council video conference on the issue.It was the last international meeting before July 1, when Israel may begin moving the plan forward.“We are at a watershed moment,” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. “If implemented, annexation would constitute a most serious violation of international law. I call on the Israeli government to abandon its annexation plans.”He reiterated the longstanding goal of a two-state solution with an independent, contiguous, sovereign and viable Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as the capital of both states.UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres speaks to The Associated Press, in Lahore, Pakistan, February 18, 2020. (K.M. Chaudhry/AP)-Arab League secretary-general Ahmed Aboul Gheit said annexation “will destroy any prospect for peace in the future.”“The possible move by the Israeli government to annex parts of the occupied Palestinian territory would constitute, if implemented, a serious threat to regional stability,” he added.The UN coordinator for the Middle East, Nickolay Mladenov, said annexation “could irrevocably alter the nature of Israeli-Palestinian relations.”he added: “It risks upending more than a quarter of a century of international efforts in support of a future viable Palestinian state living in peace, security and mutual recognition with the State of Israel.”Any Israeli annexation of Palestinian territories would be a “crime,” the top Palestinian diplomat told the UN Security Council, warning of immediate repercussions if that occurs.While everyone speaks of a situation at the crossroads, said Palestinian representative Riad Al-Maliki, “Unfortunately the driver is Israel and seems it will not stop at the crossroads to assess the implications of its choices.”“Israel seems determined to ignore that big red stop sign the international community erected to save lives,” he said.Pompeo: Annexation up to Israel-US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo indicated Wednesday that Israel had the US green light to annex Palestinian land.“Decisions about Israelis extending sovereignty to those places are decisions for the Israelis to make,” Pompeo told reporters, moments after the UN Security Council meeting ended.“We are talking to all of the countries in the region about how it is we can manage this process for our end-state objective,” he said.Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon, addressing the Security Council meeting, took issue with the term annexation.“Should Israel decide to extend its sovereignty, it would be doing so with respect to areas over which it has always maintained a legitimate historical and legal claim,” he said. “Those who oppose Israel’s legal claims to this territory, also wrongly mischaracterize any potential Israeli decision to extend its sovereignty as ‘annexation.’ These objections result from embracing a Palestinian false narrative, rather than an assessment of the historical and legal truth.”Experts have said there is no legal difference between the terms.Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon speaks during a Security Council meeting at United Nations headquarters on, February 11, 2020. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)-“The discussion over the extension of Israeli sovereignty to certain areas in Judea and Samaria does not stand in the way of peace,” said Danon, using the biblical name for the West Bank. “It is time that the Palestinians realize that rejectionism is a losing strategy and it is time that the international community chooses realism over rejectionism.”Plans are to annex Jewish settlements in the West Bank as well as the strategic Jordan Valley, as part of a broader US blueprint for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.The plan — endorsed by Washington — would see the creation of a Palestinian state, but on reduced territory, and without Palestinians’ core demand of a capital in East Jerusalem.The plan has been rejected in its entirety by the Palestinians.It’s unclear if Israel will move ahead with annexation on July 1, the date Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has set to begin the process, since the United States reportedly wants the plan backed by Blue and White’s Benny Gantz and Gabi Ashkenazi — the defense and foreign ministers — who are thus far withholding the go-ahead amid intense discussions.It has also been suggested that the plan could move ahead in stages, or eventually apply to only relatively small territory.Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh told a PLO-led protest against Israeli annexation plans on Wednesday that it does not matter if Israel annexes one settlement or the whole West Bank.“”They say that ‘if we just take a little land, that doesn’t matter.’ No, it matters! Annexation is annexation, no matter its size. Small or large, it is a setback for the Palestinian people,” Shtayyeh said at the protest in the Jordan Valley town of Faisal.“The Jordan Valley is like Jerusalem,” Shtayyeh said, in terms of its inviolability.
Abbas: If Israel annexes, it will bear responsibility as an occupying power-The Times of Israel-Palestinian leader’s remarks made in a speech to the Arab Parliament on Wednesday; Ramallah officials have floated the possibility of dissolving the Palestinian Authority-By TOI staff-june 24,20-Today, 7:38 pm
If Israel annexes “even one centimeter” of the West Bank, it will be obligated to bear the responsibilities of an occupier in the area, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the Arab Parliament on Wednesday.The Arab Parliament constitutes the legislative branch of the Arab League, which held an emergency meeting Wednesday. Egypt initiated the meeting to discuss the crisis in Libya.Such an illegitimate step will obligate Israel to bear the responsibilities in occupied land as an occupying power according to the Fourth Geneva Convention,” Abbas said.The Geneva Conventions lay out the responsibilities of an occupying power and are often used as the legal basis for declaring Israeli settlement building illegal. They also stipulate, among other requirements, that an occupying power must provide “medical and hospital establishments and services” and take charge of providing for the education of children of those living in the occupied zone.Such a statement could mean the end of the Palestinian Authority as it is currently constituted. But Abbas’s remarks correspond to what other high-ranking PA officials have told journalists in recent weeks. Senior PA official Hussein al-Sheikh told The New York Times that the PA was “not a charity” and would not stand idly by while Israel undermined its authority in the West Bank.“Every day, I’ll be retreating from my responsibilities,” al-Sheikh told The New York Times in early June. “I am telling the Israelis, if this situation continues, you will have to take full responsibility as an occupying power. It could go back to like it was before Oslo.”Abbas said the Palestinian leadership continued to support the Arab Peace Initiative, and urged Arab states to put pressure on Israel to return to negotiations on the basis of the Saudi-devised peace plan.In January, US President Donald Trump unveiled a controversial plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace, which gives Israel a green light to annex West Bank settlements and the strategic Jordan Valley, amounting to some 30 percent of the territory.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to announce his strategy to implement Trump’s plan as soon as July 1.United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also condemned the move on Tuesday in a statement to the Security Council.“This would be calamitous for Palestinians, Israelis and the region,” Guterres said.

Senior aides to US President Donald Trump on Tuesday began discussions on the administration’s position on Israel’s planned annexation of parts of the West Bank, a US official and a person familiar with the deliberations told the Reuters news agency.The White House discussions reportedly included senior adviser Jared Kushner, national security adviser Robert O’Brien, Middle East envoy Avi Berkowitz and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, the US official said.A Channel 13 news report last week said Friedman, who flew back to the US for the meetings, strongly backs Netanyahu’s declared intention to go ahead with the move now, but Kushner was said to be more ambivalent.Trump did not attend the Tuesday meeting, but may play a more active role in the talks later in the week, American sources told Reuters.This February 18, 2020, photo shows the West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Efraim in the hills overlooking the Jordan Valley. (AP Photo/Ariel Schalit)-The officials instead held what one source called “informal internal discussions,” with no decisions reached at the conclusion of the meeting. A US official said that Kushner participated in the discussions before leaving on a trip to Arizona with Trump.Officials in the Trump administration are set to decide this week on whether to approve Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declared plan to start annexing the 132 West Bank settlements and the Jordan Valley — the 30 percent of the territory allocated to Israel under the administration’s Israeli-Palestinian peace plan.Netanyahu has vowed to begin the process as early as July 1. However, US enthusiasm for such a move has appeared to cool amid vociferous opposition from American allies in the Middle East.Concerned about the collateral damage that could follow from allowing Israel to move ahead with its plan, Washington is reportedly considering backing the annexation of only a handful of settlements close to Jerusalem.“Ultimately, as the team approaches this thought of annexation, the main thing going through our heads is, ‘Does this in fact help advance the cause of peace?’ And therefore that is what will help drive a lot of the discussion,” a senior Trump administration official told Reuters in a report Monday evening.The administration is also looking at other options, including a staged process in which Israel would start by declaring sovereignty only over several settlements in the Jerusalem area, the report said, citing an unnamed source.US President Donald Trump (left) with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, January 27, 2020, in the Oval Office of the White House. (Official White House Photo by D. Myles Cullen)-The official noted that Washington has not ruled out Netanyahu’s larger annexation vision but is concerned that a large-scale, rapid, unilateral move by Israel could seal off any chance that the Palestinians may agree to discuss Trump’s peace plan, unveiled in January.The administration is also worried about increasing opposition to annexation coming from Jordan and US-allied Gulf States that have been unobtrusively building ties with Israel, the source explained.Jordanian King Abdullah last week deemed unilateral annexation “unacceptable” in briefings to American lawmakers, and is expected to withdraw his ambassador, downgrade ties with Israel and reconsider the 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty if Netanyahu goes ahead with such a move.In addition, Jordanian Ambassador Ghassan Majali has been warning diplomatic circles that if Israel moves forward with its planned extension of sovereignty, his country may recall him from Tel Aviv in protest, Army Radio reported Wednesday.Benjamin Netanyahu, right, with Benny Gantz, both wearing protective masks due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic during the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, June 7, 2020. (Menahem Kahana/Pool via AP)A central issue in the White House meetings is likely to be the internal disagreement in the Israeli coalition over annexation: While Netanyahu is vigorously championing the move, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi said the Trump plan should be implemented in coordination with Jordan and the Palestinians.However, Gantz on Tuesday signaled he could back unilateral annexation of West Bank lands, citing persistent refusals by the Palestinians to reach a deal with Israel, while reiterating his demand that the move not endanger Israel’s existing peace agreements.But he didn’t specify a date for when he would support a unilateral move or whether he would back starting the annexation process next week.Last week, Channel 13 news reported that Netanyahu presented Gantz and Ashkenazi with four scenarios for annexing West Bank lands, one of which was said to be a symbolic move rather than the full 30%. The report did not provide further details on the different scenarios. A subsequent Channel 12 report said, by contrast, that all four of Netanyahu’s maps provided for annexing all 132 settlements, and that the overall territory to be annexed in these four scenarios ranged from 12% to the full 30%.As of last weekend, the Israel Defense Forces had not yet seen maps of the territories proposed for annexation, but reports Friday said Israeli security officials would be shown the maps this week.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, left, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, center, and then-Tourism Minister Yariv Levin during a meeting to discuss mapping extension of Israeli sovereignty to areas of the West Bank, held in the Ariel settlement, February 24, 2020. (David Azagury/US Embassy Jerusalem)A joint US-Israel committee has been mapping out the West Bank areas set to come under Israeli rule, and has not yet completed its work, having been delayed in part by the COVID-19 pandemic.Under the coalition deal between Netanyahu’s Likud party and Gantz’s Blue and White, Netanyahu can begin annexing settlements and the Jordan Valley from July 1. The Trump administration initially indicated it would not oppose Netanyahu’s declared plans to do so, providing Israel accepts its peace plan, which conditionally provides for a Palestinian state on the remaining 70% of the territory. So far the Palestinians have rejected the entire plan.Netanyahu’s vows to push ahead with unilateral annexation have been condemned internationally, with European and Arab states, as well as senior members of the US Democratic Party, warning the Israeli government against doing so.More than a thousand lawmakers from across Europe on Tuesday signed a statement against Israel’s planned annexation, urging decisive action to prevent the move and punitive measures if it goes ahead.On Monday, more than 100 Republican members of the US House of Representatives signed a letter to Netanyahu stressing their belief that “Israel has the right to make sovereign decisions independent of outside pressure, and to express our support for you as you make such decisions in your capacity as Israel’s democratically-elected prime minister.”The lawmakers reaffirmed “Israel’s right to sovereignty and defensible borders,” they wrote in the letter.Meanwhile, some 170 House Democrats, including majority leader Steny Hoyer, signed a letter warning of the dangers presented by annexation.
Jordanian ambassador said to warn he could be recalled if annexation goes ahead-The Times of Israel-Amman reportedly also threatening to send Israeli envoy home, close embassy in Tel Aviv, freeze lucrative gas deal, and scale back border security-By TOI staff-JUNE 24,20-Today, 3:53 pm
Jordanian Ambassador Ghassan Majali has been warning diplomatic circles that if Israel goes ahead with its planned extension of sovereignty to areas of the West Bank, his country may recall him from Tel Aviv in protest, Army Radio reported Wednesday.
However, returning Majali may be only the first of more significant measures Amman is considering, the station said.Under a coalition deal between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Gantz signed last month, the government can pursue annexation of all the settlements and the Jordan Valley — the 30 percent of the West Bank allocated to Israel under the Trump administration peace plan — from July 1. The Trump administration has indicated it will not oppose Netanyahu’s declared plans to do so, providing Israel accepts its Peace to Prosperity plan, which conditionally provides for a Palestinian state on the remaining 70% of the territory.Jordan is one of two Arab countries that has official diplomatic ties with Israel, along with Egypt.While the kingdom has in the past recalled its ambassador during spats with Israel, it is now mulling further steps it could take.Other measures under consideration are freezing relations — but not severing them — sending the Israeli ambassador home, closing the Jordanian embassy in Tel Aviv, cutting off contact, freezing a lucrative gas deal, and scaling back security along the border with Israel, which runs through the Jordan Valley, the report said.Under the terms of the peace deal between the countries, both sides are committed to preventing cross-border attacks, but the Jordanians, who have a more significant security presence on their side of the boundary, are mulling reducing enforcement, the station reported.Israel’s first envoy to Jordan, former ambassador Oded Eran, told Army Radio that the Jordanians “will certainly take out their ambassador and freeze relations, but there are things that they cannot do.”Eran assessed that the gas deal and cooperation on water are unlikely to be touched, but security work could be impacted.“On the Israeli side of the border there are not many forces and most of the work is done on the other side,” he said .The $10 billion deal natural gas deal is expected to provide 45 billion cubic meters of Israeli gas to Jordan over the next 15 years. Despite popular opposition in Jordan to the agreement between the kingdom’s National Electric Power Co. and Texas-based Noble Energy, the gas began flowing in January.Noble Energy and Israel’s Delek Group are, among others, partners in the newly operational Leviathan gas field off Israel’s Mediterranean coast.The kingdom has vociferously objected the annexation, with King Abdullah II telling US lawmakers last week that it was “unacceptable.”Abdullah spoke with US senators and emphasized the kingdom’s commitment to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.“Any unilateral Israeli measure to annex lands in the West Bank is unacceptable and undermines the prospects of achieving peace and stability in the region,” the royal court said in a statement about Abdullah’s message to the lawmakers.Jordan’s King Abdullah II, reviews an honor guard before giving a speech to Parliament in Amman, Jordan, November 10, 2019. (Raad Adayleh/AP)-Abdullah, who has previously hinted that Jordan could tear up the peace deal with Israel if the plans go ahead, has reportedly refused to take phone calls from Netanyahu.The Palestinians have rejected the US peace plan, and earlier this month said they had submitted a counter-proposal for a demilitarized Palestinian state to the Middle East peacemaking Quartet — the US, EU, UN and Russia.Majali, the Jordanian ambassador, was recalled to Amman on October 30, 2019, to protest Israel’s detainment of two Jordanian nationals. He returned to Tel Aviv weeks later.While security ties between the Israel and Jordan have flourished, political relations have soured recently over a number of matters, including Netanyahu’s pledge to annex the Jordan Valley.Jordan, which has a large population of Palestinian expatriates, has long supported a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which would include the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.

Coal-fired power to drop from 30% to 25% by the end of this year-The Times of Israel-By end of decade, Energy Ministry aiming to cut coal altogether and move to 70% natural gas, 30% renewable energy-By Sue Surkes-june 24,20-Today, 2:53 pm
Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz announced Wednesday that the portion of electricity generated by coal will decline from 30 percent last year to no more than 24.9% by the end of this year.In a statement, he said the move would reduce power station-related air pollution by 20% and save lives.Some 2,500 Israelis are estimated to die each year from illnesses linked to pollution.The ministry has already announced its intention to temporarily shut four coal-fired towers out of six at the Orot Rabin power station in coastal Hadera later this year, with the aim of permanently closing them by 2022. The two newer towers and four in Ashkelon on Israel’s southern coast will move to natural gas by 2025.Gas stacks from the Ashkelon coal power station, seen on August 28, 2008. (Chen Leopold/Flash90)-Ministry policy has been to move from power fired by 60% coal and 40% natural gas to 70% natural gas and 30% renewable sources by 2030.The government is under public pressure to move more quickly to renewable sources.Shahar Dolev of the Israel Energy Forum, which researches energy efficiency and sustainable energy policy, heads a team of energy professionals set up within the framework of the Heschel Center for Sustainability.His team has already shown that Israel can move to 100% renewable energy, 24/7, by 2050, without touching a centimeter of open landscape. This can be achieved by installing panels on land and other surfaces that are already in use for some purpose.Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz, left, and Naty Saidoff, controlling shareholder of Shikun & Binui, at the Negev Energy thermo-solar plant in Ashalim in the Negev, Aug 29, 2019. (Shoshanna Solomon/Times of Israel)-Dolev’s team’s model also suggests that by 2030, Israel could move a good way toward providing 40% of its power from solar energy for a significant number of days and most nights.The main obstacle, worldwide, to replacing fossil fuels with 100 percent renewable energy is the lack of storage options, as the sun does not shine at night and the wind does always blow.A global race is on to develop methods for storing renewable energy. These include Israeli efforts to upgrade a battery based on zinc and on bromine — a locally mined resource.

11 months after announcement, Israeli building permits for Palestinians stalled-The Times of Israel-Nearly a year since security cabinet approved 700 permits for Palestinians in Area C, plans for just 36 units have advanced
By Jacob Magid-june 24,20-Today, 8:06 pm
Eleven months after the security cabinet, in a rare decision, approved granting 700 building permits to Palestinians in Israeli-controlled Area C of the West Bank, an examination by The Times of Israel found that only a handful of such approvals have been issued.The top ministerial body’s debate on the matter last July — under the former interim government — was highly charged, with several of its more hardline members opposing what they called a “reward” for illegal construction carried out by Palestinians in the most sensitive area of the West Bank.Palestinians say they have little choice but to build illegally in Area C, which makes up 60 percent of the West Bank because as opposed to settlers, Israeli authorities rarely grant them permits. Between 2016 and 2018, just 21 of the 1,485 Palestinian applications for construction permits in Area C were approved by the Defense Ministry.Israel is currently weighing plans to annex as much as half of Area C, where nearly all of its 450,000 settlers live, and is hoping to do so without including the long-neglected villages where some 150,000 Palestinians are believed to live.Then-Transportation Minister Betzalel Smotrich arrives for the weekly cabinet meeting, at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, on June 24, 2019. (Noam Revkin Fenton/Flash90)-The security cabinet passed the plan to grant Palestinians 700 building permits, thanks largely to the backing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who analysts at the time speculated was seeking to signal to the US that he was willing to take steps toward the Palestinians that some in Jerusalem might consider to be compromises.Seemingly orchestrated leaks from that security cabinet meeting stated that the approvals were granted in parallel with 6,000 building permits for Israelis in the West Bank as well, in what was largely seen as an effort to placate settler leaders who opposed the decision.But Yamina MK Bezalel Smotrich, who served on the security cabinet at the time as transportation minister, said Wednesday that the 6,000 building permits had not actually been part of the discussion. On the other hand, he said the 700 permits granted for Palestinians were all for buildings that had already been built. The goal of the decision was to instruct authorities to create building plans that would regulate those structures so that they no longer would be under threat of demolition.Explaining his decision to support the move, Smotrich wrote at the time that the security cabinet was granting Palestinians who had been living in Area C before the 1994 Oslo Accords the right to build and develop “only in places that do not compromise settlement and security and do not… produce a de facto Palestinian state.”As to the current status of those permits, Smotrich, whose party now sits in the opposition, said Wednesday that he was unaware whether they had been granted.But an examination of the protocols from the nine Civil Administration Planning and Licensing Subcommittee meetings that took place since the July 2019 security cabinet decision found that the Defense Ministry body responsibly for authorizing construction in Area C issued just a handful of building permits during that time.US President Donald Trump, left, turns to give a pen to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, center, at the White House in Washington, March 25, 2019 after signing the official proclamation formally recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

(AP/Susan Walsh)-Plans for just 26 housing units were advanced in those meetings, with only six of those units — located in a single building — receiving actual building permits. The non-residential plans advanced in the year since the security cabinet approval included ones for a glass-making factory, a concrete-making factory, a medical clinic, an industrial park and a water treatment plant.The Civil Administration and Prime Minister’s Office both declined to expound on the limited number of plans for Palestinians that were advanced over the past year. Given Smotrich’s claims, and the fact that most of the building approvals from the past year have not been retroactive, it was possible that none of the 700 permits have been issued at all.At the same time, dozens of applications for building permits and plans were rejected by the Planning and Licensing Subcommittee.In addition to the Planning and Licensing Subcommittee, the Civil Administration’s Supervisory Subcommittee also has authority to grant building permits, but unlike the first body, the latter does not publish the protocols from its sessions. Moreover, a security official speaking anonymously acknowledged that it is exceedingly rare for the Supervisory Subcommittee to issue permits and instead it focuses primarily on demolition orders.Asked if it was possible for the Civil Administration to have issued permits without including them in protocols from their meetings, a spokesman for the Defense Ministry body declined to comment.An official from the Prime Minister’s Office said he would not comment on matters discussed in security cabinet meetings.“Apparently, the security cabinet’s decision that Netanyahu made sure to publicize as if Israel actually intended to approve any development for the millions of Palestinians in the occupied territories has turned out to be one big bluff, and even the few permits that were approved have not been issued,” fumed Hagit Ofran of the Peace Now settlement watchdog.The government’s policy remains one that grants almost no permits for Palestinians in Area C while Israeli settlers build about 2,000 units a year, she said.Ofran explained that the security cabinet vote had come just over a week after security forces carried out controversial demolitions in a PA-controlled area adjacent to East Jerusalem. In order to continue to carry out such enforcement, the High Court of Justice had asked Israeli authorities to demonstrate that they were also issuing orders for construction and not only for razing.“Netanyahu may have hoped that publicizing such decisions would save us from The Hague tribunal, but the truth is that what needs to change is actions, not talk,” Ofran said. “There is no Israeli interest in preventing Palestinian development in Area C, only the narrow interest of a minority of settlers who are not interested in the well-being of their Palestinian neighbors.”

Israeli arms developer unveils new anti-tank missile, with 32-kilometer range-The Times of Israel-Fifth-generation missile Spike NLOS being developed under contract with Poland, has ‘pinpoint accuracy,’ Rafael Advanced Defense System says-By TOI staff and Agencies-june 24,20- Today, 7:38 pm
Israeli weapons manufacturer Rafael Advanced Defense Systems this week unveiled a new anti-tank missile, the Spike NLOS.The fifth-generation missile was touted by the Israeli arms manufacturer as having a range of 32 kilometers (20 miles), with a low-signature launch and “pinpoint accuracy.”It can target sites both within and out of sight using digital coordinates and can withstand adverse weather conditions, the manufacturer said.The company is currently producing the missile for the Polish military, with the weapon unveiled as part of a contract with Warsaw.Spike anti-tank missiles are already in use by the Israel Defense Forces, where they are renamed “Tammuz” missiles.Israel is among the world’s top arms exporters. Defense exports reached $7.2 billion last year, the Defense Ministry said Monday, a 5 percent drop from 2018. The figure represented a 23% decline from 2017, though it was still in line with a general trend of growth over the past decade for Israel’s defense exports.The ministry said most sales were for missiles, rockets and air defense systems. Manned aircraft and weapons launchers were also in demand. The main destinations for the country’s exports were the Asia Pacific region, Europe and North America.The Defense Ministry said that while it had been expecting further growth in 2020, the coronavirus pandemic is likely to upend those plans. Still, the ministry said it hopes to turn the crisis into an opportunity for the Israeli defense industry, without elaborating.
Israel charges Gaza electrician with firing rockets, powering Hamas tunnels-The Times of Israel-Fadi Qadas, 32, accused of being in service of terrorist group for 15 years and of involvement in fighting against Israel; gag order bars details of his arrest
By TOI staff-JUNE 24,20-Today, 7:09 pm
Prosecutors on Wednesday filed charges against a Gazan electrician accused of firing missiles at Israel and supplying the power for the Hamas terror group’s cross-border tunnels into the Jewish state.
According to the indictment filed at the Beersheba District Court, Fadi Qadas, 32, was in the service of the terrorist group for 15 years, supplying it with electronic parts and guidance, including during the 2014 and 2012 wars against Israel.Qadas was arrested by Israeli forces last month, but details of his detention are barred from publication.The charges attributed to Qadas include nine counts of various terror charges, including membership in a terror group, service for a terror group and arms dealing.He is accused of firing hundreds of missiles and mortar shells at Israel on behalf of Hamas, including 107 missiles in rapid succession during a 2017 flare-up that sought to overwhelm the Iron Dome anti-missile system.Qadas was also responsible for powering the Hamas tunnels dug underneath the border with Israel, according to the charge sheet, and supplied gas balloons for airborne arson attacks on Israel in recent years.The indictment said the Gazan man was paid for his services by Hamas. It also said he had received financial compensation from the Palestinian Authority after incurring an injury in Israeli strikes.Since its violent takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007 from the Palestinian Authority, Hamas has fired thousands of missiles at Israel and fought three wars with the Jewish state. It has also built dozens of cross-border passages, which have since been destroyed by Israel, with its fighters infiltrating into the country on a number of occasions during 2014’s Gaza war and killing Israeli soldiers.
Putin hails victory over Nazis in Red Square parade delayed by virus-The Times of Israel-14,000 soldiers take part in annual event, marking 75th anniversary of World War II victory-By Jim Heintz-JUNE 24,20-Today, 5:37 pm
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed the defeat of Nazi Germany at the traditional massive Red Square military parade in Moscow, which was delayed by more than a month because of the invisible enemy of coronavirus.The parade is usually held May 9 on Victory Day, Russia’s most important secular holiday, but was postponed until Wednesday due to the pandemic. But the timing allowed Russia to mark another significant war-era event — the 75th anniversary of the Red Square parade by troops returning home after the Nazis’ defeat.“It is impossible to imagine what would have happened to the world if the Red Army did not stand up to its defense,” Putin said in an address to the parade.Some 14,000 soldiers took part in the parade, including units from several former Soviet republics and from Mongolia and Serbia.More than 230 military vehicles drove across the vast square in the Russian capital, ranging from renowned WWII-era T-34 tanks to hulking Topol intercontinental ballistic missile-launchers. A flyover of helicopters, bombers and fighter planes completed the show of military might.An estimated 27 million Soviets died in the war, either on the battlefield or as civilian casualties. Their valor and suffering has become key to Russia’s national identity.“It was our people who were able to overcome a terrible, total evil,” Putin said. “This is the main, honest, in-no-way-unclear truth about the war. We must protect and defend it, pass it on to our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.”Putin and other Russian officials have frequently expressed umbrage at what they see as attempts by other countries to “rewrite history” by downplaying the Soviets’ role in World War II.The appeal to Russian patriotism comes at an important time for Putin, with early voting beginning Thursday in a referendum on constitutional amendments that would allow him to run for another two terms as president, possibly in office until 2036.Russian President Vladimir Putin greets veterans prior to a military parade, which marks the 75th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two, at Red Square in Moscow on June 24, 2020. (Alexey NIKOLSKY / SPUTNIK / AFP)-Putin made no mention of the coronavirus pandemic in his speech, tacitly reinforcing his claim the previous day that Russia has passed the most dangerous stage in the pandemic. However, Russia has reported more than 7,000 new infection cases daily this week and has the third-highest confirmed number of infections in the world after the United States and Brazil.Many spectators in the viewing stands were wearing masks, but Russian soldiers in close formation on the square did not. Putin and other dignitaries on the main viewing stage also did not wear masks.Those dignitaries included elderly war veterans with rows of medals cascading down their chests. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said all the veterans in attendance had undergone quarantines before the event.Virus concerns forced Kyrgyz President Sooronbai Jeenbekov to abandon plans to attend the parade when two members of his delegation tested positive for the virus after arriving in Moscow on Tuesday. He and the delegation returned to Kyrgyzstan and the president went into self-isolation, according to his office.The virus also blocked an impressive event usually held in parallel to the parade. In recent years, vast crowds have streamed into the streets of Moscow and other Russian cities carrying photos of relatives who died in the war or endured it in processions called The Immortal Regiment. Although many coronavirus restrictions have been rescinded in Russia in recent weeks, bans on mass gatherings remain.

UN, Arab League urge Israel to abandon annexation plans: ‘A watershed moment’-The Times of Israel-Security Council meeting, Israel’s envoy denies applying sovereignty to West Bank is tantamount to annexation, claims move ‘does not stand in the way of peace’-By AFP and TOI staff-june 24,20-Today, 8:06 pm
The United Nations and the Arab League joined Wednesday in calling for Israel to abandon its plans to annex parts of the West Bank, as the Jewish state’s envoy to the international body insisted the step would not stand in the way of peace with the Palestinians.The calls were made during a UN Security Council video conference on the issue.It was the last international meeting before July 1, when Israel may begin moving the plan forward.“We are at a watershed moment,” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. “If implemented, annexation would constitute a most serious violation of international law. I call on the Israeli government to abandon its annexation plans.”He reiterated the longstanding goal of a two-state solution with an independent, contiguous, sovereign and viable Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as the capital of both states.UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres speaks to The Associated Press, in Lahore, Pakistan, February 18, 2020. (K.M. Chaudhry/AP)-Arab League secretary-general Ahmed Aboul Gheit said annexation “will destroy any prospect for peace in the future.”“The possible move by the Israeli government to annex parts of the occupied Palestinian territory would constitute, if implemented, a serious threat to regional stability,” he added.The UN coordinator for the Middle East, Nickolay Mladenov, said annexation “could irrevocably alter the nature of Israeli-Palestinian relations.”he added: “It risks upending more than a quarter of a century of international efforts in support of a future viable Palestinian state living in peace, security and mutual recognition with the State of Israel.”Any Israeli annexation of Palestinian territories would be a “crime,” the top Palestinian diplomat told the UN Security Council, warning of immediate repercussions if that occurs.While everyone speaks of a situation at the crossroads, said Palestinian representative Riad Al-Maliki, “Unfortunately the driver is Israel and seems it will not stop at the crossroads to assess the implications of its choices.”“Israel seems determined to ignore that big red stop sign the international community erected to save lives,” he said.Pompeo: Annexation up to Israel-US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo indicated Wednesday that Israel had the US green light to annex Palestinian land.“Decisions about Israelis extending sovereignty to those places are decisions for the Israelis to make,” Pompeo told reporters, moments after the UN Security Council meeting ended.“We are talking to all of the countries in the region about how it is we can manage this process for our end-state objective,” he said.Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon, addressing the Security Council meeting, took issue with the term annexation.“Should Israel decide to extend its sovereignty, it would be doing so with respect to areas over which it has always maintained a legitimate historical and legal claim,” he said. “Those who oppose Israel’s legal claims to this territory, also wrongly mischaracterize any potential Israeli decision to extend its sovereignty as ‘annexation.’ These objections result from embracing a Palestinian false narrative, rather than an assessment of the historical and legal truth.”Experts have said there is no legal difference between the terms.Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon speaks during a Security Council meeting at United Nations headquarters on, February 11, 2020. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)-“The discussion over the extension of Israeli sovereignty to certain areas in Judea and Samaria does not stand in the way of peace,” said Danon, using the biblical name for the West Bank. “It is time that the Palestinians realize that rejectionism is a losing strategy and it is time that the international community chooses realism over rejectionism.”Plans are to annex Jewish settlements in the West Bank as well as the strategic Jordan Valley, as part of a broader US blueprint for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.The plan — endorsed by Washington — would see the creation of a Palestinian state, but on reduced territory, and without Palestinians’ core demand of a capital in East Jerusalem.The plan has been rejected in its entirety by the Palestinians.It’s unclear if Israel will move ahead with annexation on July 1, the date Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has set to begin the process, since the United States reportedly wants the plan backed by Blue and White’s Benny Gantz and Gabi Ashkenazi — the defense and foreign ministers — who are thus far withholding the go-ahead amid intense discussions.It has also been suggested that the plan could move ahead in stages, or eventually apply to only relatively small territory.Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh told a PLO-led protest against Israeli annexation plans on Wednesday that it does not matter if Israel annexes one settlement or the whole West Bank.“”They say that ‘if we just take a little land, that doesn’t matter.’ No, it matters! Annexation is annexation, no matter its size. Small or large, it is a setback for the Palestinian people,” Shtayyeh said at the protest in the Jordan Valley town of Faisal.“The Jordan Valley is like Jerusalem,” Shtayyeh said, in terms of its inviolability.
Abbas: If Israel annexes, it will bear responsibility as an occupying power-The Times of Israel-Palestinian leader’s remarks made in a speech to the Arab Parliament on Wednesday; Ramallah officials have floated the possibility of dissolving the Palestinian Authority-By TOI staff-june 24,20-Today, 7:38 pm
If Israel annexes “even one centimeter” of the West Bank, it will be obligated to bear the responsibilities of an occupier in the area, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the Arab Parliament on Wednesday.The Arab Parliament constitutes the legislative branch of the Arab League, which held an emergency meeting Wednesday. Egypt initiated the meeting to discuss the crisis in Libya.Such an illegitimate step will obligate Israel to bear the responsibilities in occupied land as an occupying power according to the Fourth Geneva Convention,” Abbas said.The Geneva Conventions lay out the responsibilities of an occupying power and are often used as the legal basis for declaring Israeli settlement building illegal. They also stipulate, among other requirements, that an occupying power must provide “medical and hospital establishments and services” and take charge of providing for the education of children of those living in the occupied zone.Such a statement could mean the end of the Palestinian Authority as it is currently constituted. But Abbas’s remarks correspond to what other high-ranking PA officials have told journalists in recent weeks. Senior PA official Hussein al-Sheikh told The New York Times that the PA was “not a charity” and would not stand idly by while Israel undermined its authority in the West Bank.“Every day, I’ll be retreating from my responsibilities,” al-Sheikh told The New York Times in early June. “I am telling the Israelis, if this situation continues, you will have to take full responsibility as an occupying power. It could go back to like it was before Oslo.”Abbas said the Palestinian leadership continued to support the Arab Peace Initiative, and urged Arab states to put pressure on Israel to return to negotiations on the basis of the Saudi-devised peace plan.In January, US President Donald Trump unveiled a controversial plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace, which gives Israel a green light to annex West Bank settlements and the strategic Jordan Valley, amounting to some 30 percent of the territory.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to announce his strategy to implement Trump’s plan as soon as July 1.United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also condemned the move on Tuesday in a statement to the Security Council.“This would be calamitous for Palestinians, Israelis and the region,” Guterres said. He also said the plan would thwart “efforts to advance regional peace.”
Senior Trump aides said to begin informal talks on whether to back annexation-The Times of Israel-Top officials reportedly start discussions without the US president, with no conclusions reached at end of initial meeting-By TOI staff-JUNE 24,20-Today, 3:52 pm
Senior aides to US President Donald Trump on Tuesday began discussions on the administration’s position on Israel’s planned annexation of parts of the West Bank, a US official and a person familiar with the deliberations told the Reuters news agency.The White House discussions reportedly included senior adviser Jared Kushner, national security adviser Robert O’Brien, Middle East envoy Avi Berkowitz and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, the US official said.A Channel 13 news report last week said Friedman, who flew back to the US for the meetings, strongly backs Netanyahu’s declared intention to go ahead with the move now, but Kushner was said to be more ambivalent.Trump did not attend the Tuesday meeting, but may play a more active role in the talks later in the week, American sources told Reuters.This February 18, 2020, photo shows the West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Efraim in the hills overlooking the Jordan Valley. (AP Photo/Ariel Schalit)-The officials instead held what one source called “informal internal discussions,” with no decisions reached at the conclusion of the meeting. A US official said that Kushner participated in the discussions before leaving on a trip to Arizona with Trump.Officials in the Trump administration are set to decide this week on whether to approve Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declared plan to start annexing the 132 West Bank settlements and the Jordan Valley — the 30 percent of the territory allocated to Israel under the administration’s Israeli-Palestinian peace plan.Netanyahu has vowed to begin the process as early as July 1. However, US enthusiasm for such a move has appeared to cool amid vociferous opposition from American allies in the Middle East.Concerned about the collateral damage that could follow from allowing Israel to move ahead with its plan, Washington is reportedly considering backing the annexation of only a handful of settlements close to Jerusalem.“Ultimately, as the team approaches this thought of annexation, the main thing going through our heads is, ‘Does this in fact help advance the cause of peace?’ And therefore that is what will help drive a lot of the discussion,” a senior Trump administration official told Reuters in a report Monday evening.The administration is also looking at other options, including a staged process in which Israel would start by declaring sovereignty only over several settlements in the Jerusalem area, the report said, citing an unnamed source.US President Donald Trump (left) with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, January 27, 2020, in the Oval Office of the White House. (Official White House Photo by D. Myles Cullen)-The official noted that Washington has not ruled out Netanyahu’s larger annexation vision but is concerned that a large-scale, rapid, unilateral move by Israel could seal off any chance that the Palestinians may agree to discuss Trump’s peace plan, unveiled in January.The administration is also worried about increasing opposition to annexation coming from Jordan and US-allied Gulf States that have been unobtrusively building ties with Israel, the source explained.Jordanian King Abdullah last week deemed unilateral annexation “unacceptable” in briefings to American lawmakers, and is expected to withdraw his ambassador, downgrade ties with Israel and reconsider the 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty if Netanyahu goes ahead with such a move.In addition, Jordanian Ambassador Ghassan Majali has been warning diplomatic circles that if Israel moves forward with its planned extension of sovereignty, his country may recall him from Tel Aviv in protest, Army Radio reported Wednesday.Benjamin Netanyahu, right, with Benny Gantz, both wearing protective masks due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic during the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, June 7, 2020. (Menahem Kahana/Pool via AP)A central issue in the White House meetings is likely to be the internal disagreement in the Israeli coalition over annexation: While Netanyahu is vigorously championing the move, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi said the Trump plan should be implemented in coordination with Jordan and the Palestinians.However, Gantz on Tuesday signaled he could back unilateral annexation of West Bank lands, citing persistent refusals by the Palestinians to reach a deal with Israel, while reiterating his demand that the move not endanger Israel’s existing peace agreements.But he didn’t specify a date for when he would support a unilateral move or whether he would back starting the annexation process next week.Last week, Channel 13 news reported that Netanyahu presented Gantz and Ashkenazi with four scenarios for annexing West Bank lands, one of which was said to be a symbolic move rather than the full 30%. The report did not provide further details on the different scenarios. A subsequent Channel 12 report said, by contrast, that all four of Netanyahu’s maps provided for annexing all 132 settlements, and that the overall territory to be annexed in these four scenarios ranged from 12% to the full 30%.As of last weekend, the Israel Defense Forces had not yet seen maps of the territories proposed for annexation, but reports Friday said Israeli security officials would be shown the maps this week.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, left, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, center, and then-Tourism Minister Yariv Levin during a meeting to discuss mapping extension of Israeli sovereignty to areas of the West Bank, held in the Ariel settlement, February 24, 2020. (David Azagury/US Embassy Jerusalem)A joint US-Israel committee has been mapping out the West Bank areas set to come under Israeli rule, and has not yet completed its work, having been delayed in part by the COVID-19 pandemic.Under the coalition deal between Netanyahu’s Likud party and Gantz’s Blue and White, Netanyahu can begin annexing settlements and the Jordan Valley from July 1. The Trump administration initially indicated it would not oppose Netanyahu’s declared plans to do so, providing Israel accepts its peace plan, which conditionally provides for a Palestinian state on the remaining 70% of the territory. So far the Palestinians have rejected the entire plan.Netanyahu’s vows to push ahead with unilateral annexation have been condemned internationally, with European and Arab states, as well as senior members of the US Democratic Party, warning the Israeli government against doing so.More than a thousand lawmakers from across Europe on Tuesday signed a statement against Israel’s planned annexation, urging decisive action to prevent the move and punitive measures if it goes ahead.On Monday, more than 100 Republican members of the US House of Representatives signed a letter to Netanyahu stressing their belief that “Israel has the right to make sovereign decisions independent of outside pressure, and to express our support for you as you make such decisions in your capacity as Israel’s democratically-elected prime minister.”The lawmakers reaffirmed “Israel’s right to sovereignty and defensible borders,” they wrote in the letter.Meanwhile, some 170 House Democrats, including majority leader Steny Hoyer, signed a letter warning of the dangers presented by annexation.
Jordanian ambassador said to warn he could be recalled if annexation goes ahead-The Times of Israel-Amman reportedly also threatening to send Israeli envoy home, close embassy in Tel Aviv, freeze lucrative gas deal, and scale back border security-By TOI staff-JUNE 24,20-Today, 3:53 pm
Jordanian Ambassador Ghassan Majali has been warning diplomatic circles that if Israel goes ahead with its planned extension of sovereignty to areas of the West Bank, his country may recall him from Tel Aviv in protest, Army Radio reported Wednesday.
However, returning Majali may be only the first of more significant measures Amman is considering, the station said.Under a coalition deal between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White leader Gantz signed last month, the government can pursue annexation of all the settlements and the Jordan Valley — the 30 percent of the West Bank allocated to Israel under the Trump administration peace plan — from July 1. The Trump administration has indicated it will not oppose Netanyahu’s declared plans to do so, providing Israel accepts its Peace to Prosperity plan, which conditionally provides for a Palestinian state on the remaining 70% of the territory.Jordan is one of two Arab countries that has official diplomatic ties with Israel, along with Egypt.While the kingdom has in the past recalled its ambassador during spats with Israel, it is now mulling further steps it could take.Other measures under consideration are freezing relations — but not severing them — sending the Israeli ambassador home, closing the Jordanian embassy in Tel Aviv, cutting off contact, freezing a lucrative gas deal, and scaling back security along the border with Israel, which runs through the Jordan Valley, the report said.Under the terms of the peace deal between the countries, both sides are committed to preventing cross-border attacks, but the Jordanians, who have a more significant security presence on their side of the boundary, are mulling reducing enforcement, the station reported.Israel’s first envoy to Jordan, former ambassador Oded Eran, told Army Radio that the Jordanians “will certainly take out their ambassador and freeze relations, but there are things that they cannot do.”Eran assessed that the gas deal and cooperation on water are unlikely to be touched, but security work could be impacted.“On the Israeli side of the border there are not many forces and most of the work is done on the other side,” he said .The $10 billion deal natural gas deal is expected to provide 45 billion cubic meters of Israeli gas to Jordan over the next 15 years. Despite popular opposition in Jordan to the agreement between the kingdom’s National Electric Power Co. and Texas-based Noble Energy, the gas began flowing in January.Noble Energy and Israel’s Delek Group are, among others, partners in the newly operational Leviathan gas field off Israel’s Mediterranean coast.The kingdom has vociferously objected the annexation, with King Abdullah II telling US lawmakers last week that it was “unacceptable.”Abdullah spoke with US senators and emphasized the kingdom’s commitment to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.“Any unilateral Israeli measure to annex lands in the West Bank is unacceptable and undermines the prospects of achieving peace and stability in the region,” the royal court said in a statement about Abdullah’s message to the lawmakers.Jordan’s King Abdullah II, reviews an honor guard before giving a speech to Parliament in Amman, Jordan, November 10, 2019. (Raad Adayleh/AP)-Abdullah, who has previously hinted that Jordan could tear up the peace deal with Israel if the plans go ahead, has reportedly refused to take phone calls from Netanyahu.The Palestinians have rejected the US peace plan, and earlier this month said they had submitted a counter-proposal for a demilitarized Palestinian state to the Middle East peacemaking Quartet — the US, EU, UN and Russia.Majali, the Jordanian ambassador, was recalled to Amman on October 30, 2019, to protest Israel’s detainment of two Jordanian nationals. He returned to Tel Aviv weeks later.While security ties between the Israel and Jordan have flourished, political relations have soured recently over a number of matters, including Netanyahu’s pledge to annex the Jordan Valley.Jordan, which has a large population of Palestinian expatriates, has long supported a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which would include the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.

Coal-fired power to drop from 30% to 25% by the end of this year-The Times of Israel-By end of decade, Energy Ministry aiming to cut coal altogether and move to 70% natural gas, 30% renewable energy-By Sue Surkes-june 24,20-Today, 2:53 pm
Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz announced Wednesday that the portion of electricity generated by coal will decline from 30 percent last year to no more than 24.9% by the end of this year.In a statement, he said the move would reduce power station-related air pollution by 20% and save lives.Some 2,500 Israelis are estimated to die each year from illnesses linked to pollution.The ministry has already announced its intention to temporarily shut four coal-fired towers out of six at the Orot Rabin power station in coastal Hadera later this year, with the aim of permanently closing them by 2022. The two newer towers and four in Ashkelon on Israel’s southern coast will move to natural gas by 2025.Gas stacks from the Ashkelon coal power station, seen on August 28, 2008. (Chen Leopold/Flash90)-Ministry policy has been to move from power fired by 60% coal and 40% natural gas to 70% natural gas and 30% renewable sources by 2030.The government is under public pressure to move more quickly to renewable sources.Shahar Dolev of the Israel Energy Forum, which researches energy efficiency and sustainable energy policy, heads a team of energy professionals set up within the framework of the Heschel Center for Sustainability.His team has already shown that Israel can move to 100% renewable energy, 24/7, by 2050, without touching a centimeter of open landscape. This can be achieved by installing panels on land and other surfaces that are already in use for some purpose.Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz, left, and Naty Saidoff, controlling shareholder of Shikun & Binui, at the Negev Energy thermo-solar plant in Ashalim in the Negev, Aug 29, 2019. (Shoshanna Solomon/Times of Israel)-Dolev’s team’s model also suggests that by 2030, Israel could move a good way toward providing 40% of its power from solar energy for a significant number of days and most nights.The main obstacle, worldwide, to replacing fossil fuels with 100 percent renewable energy is the lack of storage options, as the sun does not shine at night and the wind does always blow.A global race is on to develop methods for storing renewable energy. These include Israeli efforts to upgrade a battery based on zinc and on bromine — a locally mined resource.
