No-Brainer' COVID Was Made in a Lab, Johns Hopkins Doctor Says-By Aleks Phillips On 3/1/23 at 8:14 AM EST
A
professor of public health policy at John Hopkins University has told
Congress that it was a "no-brainer" that COVID-19 originated from a
Chinese laboratory the same day the director of the FBI made a far more
cautious assertion to the same effect.
Speaking on a panel to the
House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Tuesday, Marty
Makary, a surgeon who became a prominent pundit during the pandemic but
has no background in virology, noted a series of indicators that made it
clear to him that the virus came from a lab, but said it was
"embarrassing" since the U.S. government had funded the lab.Anthony
Fauci, the former chief medical advisor to the president, previously
came under fire after it emerged that the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) gave U.S.-based EcoHealth Alliance a $3.7 million grant in 2014,
$600,000 of which was sent to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in order
to study bat coronaviruses.However, he denied that the funding had been
used to develop more deadly or infectious viruses.Peter Kaszak, a
virologist and president of EcoHealth, told CNN in April 2020 that the
Wuhan Institute of Virology did not have the virus that caused the
pandemic.The prevailing opinion among intelligence analysts and
scientists remains that COVID-19 spread into the human population by
jumping the species barrier from livestock in a wet market that had been
infected by a contagious bat.A July 2022 study concluded, by analyzing
where the locations of the earliest human cases were concentrated, that
the virus likely infected humans via the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market
in Wuhan.However, a growing number of intelligence agencies have
adopted the theory that the virus may have spread into the human
population via a lab mishap in the Wuhan Institute of Virology,
following a call by President Joe Biden for an investigation into the
pandemic's origins.Makary's remarks at the public hearing, coinciding
with the reports from the intelligence community, only add to the
growing momentum behind the theory. At today’s @COVIDSelect roundtable —
kicking off the GOP’s planned probes into the virus — witnesses were
asked their thoughts on the lab-leak theory, given recent news and U.S.
funding of virus research. Hopkins doctor @MartyMakary: “It's a
no-brainer that it came from the lab” pic.twitter.com/aT2jzaCBIi — Dan
Diamond (@ddiamond) March 1, 2023-"The reason this is even an issue is
that it's embarrassing we funded the lab," Makary told House
representatives. "If we had not funded the lab, 100 percent of Americans
would say this is obvious, this is a no-brainer."He continued: "The
epicenter of the world [coronavirus pandemic] is five miles from one of
the only high-level virology labs in China. The doctors initially were
arrested and forced to sign non-disclosure gag documents. The lab
reports have been destroyed; they've not been turned over. The sequence
reported from the lab to the NIH database were deleted by a request from
Chinese scientists that called over early on and said, 'delete those
sequences we put in the database.'"The Chinese government described all
of these claims in 2021 as "vicious slander," and said the reason to
delete the sequences was that they were deemed "unnecessary."A study
reconstructing that data said it "further supports the idea" that
sequences taken from the Huanan Seafood Market are "not fully
representative of the viruses in Wuhan early in the epidemic."
Fauci Speaks Out About COVID Lab Leak Theory After Report-By Anna Skinner On 2/27/23 at 3:49 PM EST
Dr.
Anthony Fauci urged people to keep an open mind when it comes to
COVID-19 origins after a new report suggested that the virus was leaked
from a Chinese lab.COVID-19 emerged in 2019 in Wuhan, China, and its
origin has sparked worldwide debate, with opposing sides disagreeing on
whether the virus was leaked from a lab or whether it was naturally
occurring. The virus has infected more than 674 million people
worldwide, killing more than 6 million, according to U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data.Fauci's comments came after
the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released a report claiming that
COVID-19 stemmed from a lab leak in China. The report places the DOE in
line with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on COVID-19 origin
beliefs, but not all U.S. government agencies agree.The other theory is
that the virus jumped species after a human came into contact with an
infected animal.In a video interview with The Boston Globe, Fauci—who
retired as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases at the end of last year—urged people not to jump to
conclusions. He said the DOE report was made with "low confidence" and
he hasn't seen the data used to compile the report.Instead, Fauci shared
data submitted by evolutionary virologists in peer-reviewed journals.
He said the information "strongly suggests" the virus was a natural
occurrence."You have to look at the data. I don't see any data for a lab
leak," he said. "That doesn't mean it could not have happened, and
that's the reason I keep an open mind always about that."Theories about
the virus' origin have centered around Fauci and the National Institutes
of Health (NIH), when in 2021, the NIH was accused of funding studies
that would make a coronavirus more dangerous to humans. Fauci denied the
allegations, but later that year, the NIH admitted that it funded
gain-of-research studies about coronaviruses impacting bats in Wuhan.In
his recent interview, Faucisaid a "lot more investigation" is needed to
identify the virus' origin. He said that to complete the investigation,
there must be access to the location in which the virus originated.
Fauci said Americans might never know where the virus originated, but if
they hope to find the answer, they must be willing to work with Chinese
scientists."I think that would go a long way to getting more info to
essentially resolve this issue," he said.However, the extent of future
collaboration between China and the U.S. is uncertain. China has grown
increasingly agitated with the U.S. since a suspected spy balloon
originating in China was shot down by the U.S. military this month.After
the DOE report published, Chinese authorities rejected the findings,
accusing the U.S. of politicizing the virus.Newsweek reached out to the
DOE for comment.

Associated Press-US approves selling Taiwan munitions worth $619 million-HUIZHONG WU-Wed, March 1, 2023 at 10:48 PM EST
TAIPEI,
Taiwan (AP) — The U.S. has approved more arms sales to Taiwan,
including $619 million worth of munitions for F-16 fighter jets, in a
decision likely to be yet another point of friction between the U.S. and
China, which claims the island as its own territory.The State
Department said in a statement Wednesday night it had approved sales of
missiles to be used with the F-16s as well as equipment to support the
missiles. That includes AGM-88 anti-radiation missiles, as well as
air-to-air missiles and launchers.Taiwan is unofficially supported by
the U.S. and has a fleet of F-16s bought from the U.S. Tensions between
China and the U.S. are at their highest level in years over American
support for the self-governed island, including visits by high-ranking
politicians, and a host of other issues, including a suspected Chinese
spy balloon that crossed the U.S. before being shot down last
month.China considers Taiwan part of its territory to be brought under
its control by force if necessary, and has been stepping up its military
and diplomatic harassment. The sides split amid civil war in 1949, and
China’s authoritarian Communist Party has never held sway over the
island.The United States is Taiwan’s main supplier of military
equipment, and China has objected to past sales with sanctions and other
actions.Once arms sales are approved, delivering them can take years,
and Taiwan has cited consistent delays in receiving weapons it has
purchased.The arms will be provided by Raytheon Missiles and Defense and
Lockheed Martin Corporatio

Lebanese
supermarkets begin marking prices in US dollars as local currency
tanks-Move meant to provide semblance of stability with pound plummeting
to almost 90,000 per dollar, amid ongoing economic and political
crisis-By AFP-2 March 2023, 12:53 am
BEIRUT, Lebanon —
Supermarkets in Lebanon started pricing items in US dollars on Wednesday
instead of the nose-diving local currency, after a government
announcement allowing the practice in a country heavily reliant on
imports.Since late 2019, Lebanon has been facing a dramatic economic
crisis that has seen poverty rates climb to reach more than 80 percent
of the population, according to the United Nations.The local currency,
now officially pegged at 15,000 to the greenback, was trading Wednesday
at almost 90,000 to the dollar, compared to 60,000 in late January.An
AFP photographer said a large supermarket chain in Beirut had begun
displaying prices in dollars on Wednesday, while the exchange rate of
89,000 pounds was displayed on a screen at the entrance.Domestically
produced fruit and vegetables were still priced in the local
currency.“Every week, or every day even, products are becoming more and
more expensive,” said Susane Zeitoun, 28, who was shopping at the
supermarket.“Now I have to calculate prices into Lebanese pounds,” she
added.In February, Economy Minister Amin Salaam announced that
supermarkets would be able to start pricing items in dollars, while
customers could pay in dollars or Lebanese pounds at the volatile market
rate.Each store would have to clearly announce the exchange rate it was
using each day, he had added.Since the start of the crisis, stores had
begun to adjust their prices in pounds, sometimes daily, to keep up with
the fluctuating exchange rate — or at times pushing prices higher.Some
restaurants and clothing shops had already begun to display prices in
dollars in recent months.Shopper Sarah Rida, 37, said that “pricing
items in US dollars is better.”“If a product is priced at $2, we can be
sure that it will stay the same and will not increase or decrease in
price from one day to the next.”Lebanon is being run by a caretaker
government and is also without a president, as lawmakers have repeatedly
failed to elect a successor to Michel Aoun, whose mandate expired at
the end of October.Authorities announced in late February that customs
charges would be tripled, a move that risks pushing prices up
further.The World Bank has said that Lebanon food price inflation
reached 332 percent year on year in June 2022, the worst in the world.
Shekel
is world’s 3rd-worst performer in February as judicial jitters weigh on
market-Local currency weakens 6% and stocks drop as foreign investors
step up activity in Israel’s foreign exchange market, amid concern over
economic repercussions of overhaul-By Sharon Wrobel-MAR 1,23-Today, 7:46
pm
Israel’s shekel depreciated 6% in February, suffering the
biggest loss among the world’s major currencies after the Russian ruble
and the Korean won, amid growing investor concern as the government
presses ahead with contested changes aimed at weakening the judicial
system.The currency hit a three-year low last week against the greenback
as Israeli lawmakers took a first step to approve a bill that makes up a
significant part of the controversial judicial overhaul, to cement
government control over judicial appointments and revoke the High
Court’s ability to review Basic Laws. The shekel continued to weaken
even after the Bank of Israel hiked the benchmark interest rate by 50
basis points to 4.25 percent, the highest level since 2008, in an effort
to rein in rising inflation.“Over the past month, the movements in the
local market have been affected by the uncertainty of the economic
repercussions of the planned legal shakeup,” Alex Zabezhinsky, chief
economist at Meitav Dash, told The Times of Israel. “In the past, the
shekel’s performance was characterized by a close correlation with US
markets.”Similarly, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange noted in its monthly
report for February that “trading was characterized by price market
declines, continuing a trend seen from the second half of January 2023,
due to growing disagreements over the impact of the planned legal reform
on the Israeli economy.”In February, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange’s
benchmark TA-125 index dropped about 5%, while the TA-35 index of
blue-chip companies fell about 4% after remaining unchanged in the
previous month, according to TASE data. The TA-90 index, which tracks
the shares with the highest capitalization not included in the TA-35
index, slumped 9% during the same period, after gaining 1.7% in January.
Last month, the MSCI Global Index declined by about 2%.Daily turnover
in the equity market, including ETFs, amounted to NIS 2.3 billion in
February, about 28% higher than the turnover in the previous month, and
similar to the average turnover in 2022.In recent weeks, former central
bank policymakers and leading economists have continued to warn that
checks and balances, and democracy in general, could be at risk if the
legislation to change the legal system is fully implemented.Among
investors, concern has grown that the proposals being advanced to
curtail the power of the judiciary could negatively impact its credit
rating, which in turn would harm the country’s prosperous economy and
its currency and trigger an outflow of funds.A number of local firms and
startups have, at the request of their foreign investors, already
started to shift money out of local bank accounts to diversify risk and
hedge their assets before the planned reforms are set to be
approved.Among the firms are US-Israeli cybersecurity firm Wiz, which
this week raised $300 million at a staggering $10 billion valuation. The
unicorn’s co-founder Assaf Rappaport said that the firm’s funds will be
kept in US accounts, citing uncertainty about independence of
institutions in Israel.Zabezhinsky noted that trading volume data shows
that foreign investors, or nonresidents, were very active in Israel’s
foreign exchange market in February, which he described as having an
“excess weight” in the depreciation of the shekel.“According to Bank of
Israel foreign exchange trading data, the share of nonresidents in
trading increased to 65% in February, compared with an average of 60% in
2022,” said Zabezhinsky. “There was a sharp increase in conversion
transactions, particularly by foreign investors.”He noted that “foreign
financial institutions sharply increased the number of conversion
transactions in shekels,” while among Israeli investors, most of the
conversion transactions were performed by non-banking bodies.Daily
trading volume in dollar options in February was about 23% higher than
the average volume in 2022, and about 35% higher than the turnover in
the previous month, according to TASE data.“Trading was affected by the
volatility of the dollar’s exchange rate relative to the shekel,” the
TASE wrote in its monthly report.The shekel depreciated from NIS 3.475
at the end of January 2023 to about NIS 3.67 against the US dollar
toward the end of February, the weakest level since March 2020.The TASE
emphasized that shekel weakness relative to the dollar and the euro
pushes the cost of imports up and contributes to price increases in the
economy. This is also going to be a concern for the Bank of Israel,
which is determined to bring inflation hovering above 5% back into its
price stability target range of between 1% to 3%.“The Bank of Israel is
responsible for maintaining its inflation target and for financial
stability in the country,” said Zabezhinsky. “In case these are
threatened the Bank of Israel will not sit idle on the sidelines.”The
central bank intervenes in the foreign exchange market in order to
stabilize the shekel against the basket of currencies when there is high
volatility in the exchange rate in order to moderate and calm the
market.In 2020, the Bank of Israel intervened in the foreign exchange
market by purchasing US dollars in exchange for shekels, in order to
moderate the negative impact of an appreciation of the shekel on
inflation and economic activity.“The Bank of Israel has about $200
billion in foreign exchange reserves and can intervene in the market if
necessary, although it will not want to do that, and instead we could
see more verbal intervention,” said Zabezhinsky. “Therefore in our
assessment, the rapid depreciation of the shekel will not continue for
long.”
Digital identity market poised for massive growth, but not
in the US-Vendor revenue forecast to double to $53B by 2026-Mar 1,
2023, 5:25 pm EST | Jim Nash
If a new industry research paper
is correct, digital ID apps are going to boom.Juniper Research says the
2.3 billion digital identity apps being used globally this year will
soar to more than 4.1 billion in four years. The impetus, according to
the report, will be governments replacing physical documents with
third-party applications.Those third-party players are financial service
companies and banks, as they try to keep up with new KYC rules and the
rise in identity theft.The only real threat to the dominance of ID apps
will be digital wallets, primarily because that software combines
identity and payment services.At the same time, the death-grip consumers
and employers have on passwords might finally be releasing. Juniper
researchers say that over the next four years the global market will
being adopting in meaningful numbers a zero-trust model incorporating
biometric verification and multi-factor authentication.That verification
method is exploding, too.According to a Juniper blog post, verification
is playing a major role in the digital ID market. Spending on related
products and services, will rocket from $9 billion globally in 2021 to
$16 billion in 2026.Digital identity vendors will watch their combined
revenue grow from $26 billion in 2021 to $53 billion in 2026.Not a lot
of that revenue, apparently, will be coming from the United States
market, according to Juniper. Just seven percent of global digital
identity revenue in 2026 will start with a U.S. handshake.
Partners
join forces to enhance digital payment experience with
biometrics-Mastercard with Vesta, Areeba with Netcetera-Mar 1, 2023,
4:56 pm EST | Larisa Redins
A pair of partnerships have been
formed to bring biometrics to payments, one in Asia Pacific and another
in the Middle East.Mastercard and Vesta have announced a new strategic
partnership to improve the safety and security of ecommerce transactions
in Asia Pacific.The agreement will provide Mastercard merchants with
enhanced protection against fraud while offering customers a more secure
digital payment experience.By joining forces, Mastercard’s Cyber &
Intelligence products and solutions will integrate into Vesta’s
transaction guarantee platform. The companies say this partnership
allows merchants to reduce online fraud, approve more transactions and
expand their business.“Mastercard is excited to have the opportunity to
work together and deliver on the cybersecurity needs of its customers in
Asia Pacific, making the region’s digital economy safer, more seamless
and secure,” says Karthik Ramanathan, the SVP of cyber and intelligence
at Asia Pacific Mastercard.The announcement follows a Juniper Research
study which found that the global cost of e-commerce fraud may reach $48
billion in 2023, making it a growing challenge for merchants worldwide.
The new partnership will help address this issue and provide Mastercard
merchants with complete protection before, during and after a
transaction.The service, slated to launch in the second quarter of 2023,
will also offer improved digital payment efficiency with tools
including behavioral biometrics and identity verification, allowing
merchants to approve more legitimate transactions with zero fraud
chargeback liability.“Through this strategic partnership, merchants will
benefit from one integration into Vesta’s decision engine to approve
more legitimate transactions with zero fraud chargeback liability,
allowing them to focus on growing sales and improving customer
experience without the fear of fraud,” says Shabab Muhaddes, the SVP of
Vesta and GM of APAC.Areeba launches out-of-band biometrics through
Netcetera collaboration-Areeba sal, a payment processing service
provider in the Middle East and North Africa region, has announced a
partnership with Swiss payment company Netcetera to introduce
Out-of-Band (OOB) authentication with biometric reading for e-commerce
transactions.This move aims to provide cardholders with improved
security and fraud protection through their mobile apps, utilizing
native device fingerprint or face biometrics.In 2020, the companies
originally partnered to implement a 3-D Secure protocol backed by
Netcetera’s Access Control Server (ACS).“Everything goes smoothly when
you have a partner like Netcetera. When we started our cooperation, we
recognized the big potential for growing the business of our customers

Chipped ID documents expand in Vietnam with passport launch, healthcare use-Mar 1, 2023, 11:47 am EST-| Frank Hersey
Vietnam’s
Ministry of Public Security will begin issuing chip-based biometric
passports from 1 March in line with exit/entry requirements for its
citizens. Meanwhile, 96 percent of the country’s medical units are now
accepting the national digital ID card for healthcare access and almost
twelve million people have used it.Biometric passports begin journey-The
new credentials will store encoded biometric information on the holder –
fingerprint, iris and face – along with blood type and biographic
details on the inbuilt chip which will enhance the state’s management of
the entry/exit system as well allow the country to meet international
integration requirements, reports the Saigon Giai Phong News (SGGP).The
chip-based travel documents will allow more automation of border
controls and help Vietnamese citizens at the borders of other
countries.The blue booklet has a barcode on its back cover. Citizens
will still have the choice to opt for a passport without the chip.
11.8
million people use chip-enabled ID cards for healthcare-Vietnam Social
Security (VSS) has announced that nearly 11.8 million people have used
their chip-based national ID cards to access healthcare services at
12,270 medical centers, 96 percent of the country’s facilities, reports
Vietnam News.The population and insurance database reconciliation is
progressing. As of 20 February, the data of 74.4 million citizens held
in the National Database on Insurance has been cross-checked and
verified with that held by the National Database on Population,
according to the VSS.The VSS continues to update the National Database
on Population with new records. It has shared 96.3 million records on
social insurance and health insurance to the population register.The
agency had issued 76.5 million citizen identification cards as of the
end of December 2022 reports Vietnam News. The population is around 104
million.The Ministry of Health has been urging hospitals and health
departments to promote the use of the cards for examinations and
treatments covered by health insurance. As of early December 2022, 92
percent of health facilities were using the system. However, only 4.3
percent of medical examination and treatment visits were done via the
cards.Children under the age of six could be receiving the ID cards soon
following proposals from the Ministry for Public Security under the
Draft Law on Citizenship Identity. Biometrics would not be required for
the cards, which would not be compulsory. They could be issued alongside
birth certificates.
Why are so many organizations still playing
the waiting game with digital ID? Mar 1, 2023, 11:35 am EST By Nick
Mothershaw, Chief Identity Strategist at the Open Identity Exchange
The
digital ID eco-system is rapidly expanding, with ID providers going
through rigorous certification processes and global initiatives working
out the parameters for the safe interoperability of digital IDs across
borders. In some places, like Estonia and Singapore, access to
government or private sector services is already happening through a
single and joined up digital ID.There are, however, many organizations
still playing a waiting game. These are the parties that will benefit
the most from digital ID adoption, the ones that will come to accept it
and for whom it will become a vital part of the way they operate. Our
in-depth work with them, as well as governments and trade bodies across
various sectors, keeps throwing up the same myths and questions around
digital ID. This is stopping many from fully adopting it.“Data will not
be as safe in a digital ID.”With fraud levels soaring to levels never
seen before, is it any wonder that the safety of data has come into
question? But this is one of the biggest myths around digital ID that we
are coming across.The question we are being asked is, will the data be
as safe in a digital ID as it is under existing methods? The answer is
yes, if not improved. This is being is ensured by trust frameworks,
through which all ID providers must undergo tough assessments to become
certified to global security standards for data access and management.
They will require data to be encrypted in transit and, where
appropriate, at rest. Organizations that accept digital ID can be
confident that the ID providers are proofing users properly and storing
their data securely.Another key feature of digital ID is that data will
be protected by robust authenticators, such as biometrics, which are
inherently difficult to copy or reproduce.Moreover, in many countries
digital ID works in a decentralized way, so users’ data is not kept in a
central database. It’s distributed and kept in a protected format on
the user’s own device or in a user specific space in the cloud. This
makes it less vulnerable to attack. Even if a person loses their device,
their digital ID is usually securely backed up in the cloud in a
distributed way, so it can be easily recovered to a new device. However,
it’s best for organizations to look for digital IDs that are not
reliant on one device.However, a data breach can still happen, because
of course, fraudsters will still look for ways in. The trust framework
will require the provider of the breached digital ID, or specifically
breached credential, to suspend or close the user’s ID. The ID provider
will also be required to notify the real end user and all organizations
impacted by the fraudulent use of the stolen ID. Additional ID proofing
or authentication may be put in place when the user next uses their
ID.Along with the concerns around increased levels of fraud naturally
comes questions around the liability position. This will depend on the
rules of the specific trust framework or contractual position between
the ID provider and the accepting party. In general, if fraud takes
place as a result of ID providers not following the trust framework
rules, they may be held liable.The positive thing about a market full of
certified digital ID providers to choose from is that competition will
help ensure that they are always innovating and striving to provide the
best service.“Data in a digital ID will be easier to exploit by
organizations.”This is also a myth. Local data protection legislation,
such as GDPR, will still apply and the use of digital IDs will have to
strictly be within them. Ultimately, only the person who owns the data
will be able to access and manage it. Only they can consent to its
release to third parties and can ask for it to be deleted at any time.If
a user updates the data, the new data will firstly be validated and
verified, so that there is trust present when that data is shared. Where
information cannot be validated, this will be highlighted with each
attribute having a validated or un-validated status attached. If
information is found to be incorrect, it can be raised with the ID
provider who will liaise with the end user.Only the user can then choose
which of the organizations that previously had access should receive an
update. Organizations can subscribe to update services.“More people
will struggle to access their services or be excluded entirely.”This
myth is driven by concerns around whether digital ID will be available
to everyone, or work everywhere. The last thing organizations want is to
make existing access and inclusion challenges even worse.There has been
a lot of progress to ensure that anyone who wants a digital ID can get
one. Where individuals can’t establish a digital ID because they do not
have digitally presentable evidence, such as a driver’s license or
passport, or need assistance presenting it, initiatives are underway to
make secondary options available to them. Our proposal for a Digital
Vouch with Photo capability, for example, would enable users with no
documentation to be included by a voucher acting on their behalf. Not
everyone will want a digital ID, so there will still need to be
alternative methods, such as direct proofing and account issue by
service providers, as happens today, to access services. A good trust
framework will ensure that.Digital ID is maturing, it’s time to get on
board-The reality is that many of the perceived ‘problems’ either have
or are being addressed. Digital ID is proving far more effective in
enabling trust, which in today’s world has become so complex, than the
IDs issued directly by organizations. And full digital ID adoption will
be critical to the growth of any sector.Organizations that still have
unanswered questions and unresolved concerns must reach out to the
parties, like Open Identity Exchange, that are driving actions to ensure
the safe and inclusive use of digital ID everywhere.About the

5 biometric recognition methods to reimage digital banking systems in
2023-Feb 20, 2023, 8:17 am EST-By Damien Martin, Marketing Executive at
Shufti Pro
When it comes to money, online payments, and other
financial errands, security is the paramount aspect to consider. With
digital fraud seeing a spike in recent years, the protection of nearly
215 million online banking personnel is soon to come completely at the
mercy of cybercriminals. Therefore, the security threat concern is
grasping the utmost attention both from online banking service providers
and regulatory watchdogs.With huge advancements in financial
technologies, there has been an unprecedented and hastened shift to
remote payments where digital banking service providers cannot leave
security protocols behind. Furthermore, financial companies do not
consider online transactions the only center rather, consumer
protection, innovativeness, and adaption to new technologies are equally
crucial.In this shift towards open banking, biometric recognition
solutions address the majority of external fraud risks during digital
payment processing.The concept of digital banking-The evolution of
financial technologies has transformed conventional banking from
time-consuming, face-to-face, and lengthy processes to more swift
transaction systems. It all began in the 20th century with the launch of
USA’s Fedwire – the world’s first e-fund transfer solution. Right after
this, the launch of credit cards in 1950s was another step towards
digitization of global banking systems. Since then, there has been no
stopping the revolution of payments.All of this came crashing down to
the 2008’s Global Financial Crisis which created a vacuum for online
banking success. However, the development also formulated a conducive
environment for fraudsters, with a record increase of 30 percent in
2022. Hence, this leaves no doubt why customers are skeptical about the
security of their online bank accounts.Impact of biometric technology on
online paymentsBiometric authentication technology is a potential
combat for increasing fraud incidents in the online banking sector. It
takes identity verification, data security, payment authorization, and
ongoing monitoring to other levels of accuracy. The use of biometric
recognition has taken manifold in digital banking operations by tossing
reliable fraud detection methods more often.From fingerprint analysis to
eye pattern scanning, biometric authentication technology has come a
long way in transforming online payment security. It replaces passcodes,
user PINs, and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) with
biological/behavioral screening for high user safety.Types of biometrics
and their individual benefits for online banking systems.The demand for
online payments highlights an increase in the usage of digital wallets,
credit cards, Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL), Electronic Transfer of Money
(ETF), and QR codes. With digital banking projected to top 13 trillion
by 2032, the need for secure financial services also grows. Therefore,
online payment service providers should consider integrating biometric
technology for more than just a way to access online accounts.Digital
banking systems can meet diverse regulatory requirements regarding
customer identity verification, data privacy, external cyber risk
prevention, and ongoing payment monitoring, as highlighted in the FATF’s
40 Recommendations. By using biometric security solutions, they can
also offer secure and convenient ways for remote account opening.The
next section discusses types of biometrics and their use cases for
online banking further in detail.Fingerprint analysis – the oldest
method of customer authentication-Fingerprinting is the oldest and
longest in-use biometric method. Smartphones started using this
authentication method back in 2004. Fingerprinting is as old as the
banking system itself. In ancient times, thumb impressions were recorded
on a piece of paper to confirm customer authenticity. With the
biometric revolution, digital financial service providers can analyze
fingerprints by simply asking users to scan them in their mobile phone
sensors.In years to come, AI-powered biometric recognition will mature
to analyze swirls and ridges around fingerprints critically. They will
further be able to cross-verify vascular patterns before processing a
payment.Voice-based identification – a relatively newer user
authentication method-Biometric security systems have several checks in
store for digital banking service providers. Fingerprinting has some
limitations, such as tampering by using candle wax or creating similar
impressions with plastic sheets. Voice recognition, on the other hand,
is relatively secure.AI-powered biometric tools take vocal
characteristics and create a profile of users in mathematical algorithms
opting to access online accounts. It further helps banking systems to
authenticate customers by cross-referencing voice patterns across
financial and criminal databases.The advanced form of voice recognition
will enable online banking platforms to analyze voice patterns
accurately. Furthermore, they can also identify users even in sickness
or any other condition that changes vocal characteristics.Facial
recognition – an advanced approach within the biometric banking
landscape-Since Apple launched its 20 times more accurate, secure, and
convenient Face ID as a replacement for fingerprint identification, the
shift towards facial feature analysis-based user authentication was
certain. Customers prefer log-in solutions that uphold their privacy
without compromising their time. Considering this increase in demand,
digital banking service providers started offering biometric security
checks with facial feature analysis.The biometric-enabled CCTV cameras
in ATMs verify customers in real-time and detect deepfake attempts (if
any). Furthermore, in the case of remote banking, AI-powered facial
feature analysis tools will differentiate between twins, look-alikes,
and other individuals with similar features with the same level of
accuracy. Around 15 percent to 20 percent of financial institutions are
already embracing the applications of biometric analysis.Iris and retina
scans – the most futuristic form of biometric check-Fingerprinting,
voice recognition and facial feature analysis have become mainstream.
Banking systems are now making a move towards more advancement by
integrating iris/retina scanners in ATMs. With advanced biometric
verification tools in smartphones, online payments are also given an
additional layer of security through eye analysis. Banco Bilbao Vizcaya
Argentaria (BBVA) was the first bank to offer their users an iris scan
through their digital banking app in 2017.Being an advanced form of user
authentication, biometric recognition is the most reliable method up
till now. Biometric screening tools are undergoing evolution and coming
back to their most advanced form. Hence, digital banking service
providers can not accurately scan pictures even if users are wearing a
pair of optics or not even facing the camera properly.Behavioral
biometrics – a new era for secure digital payments-Customers’ day-to-day
financial behavior is changing with every innovation that emerges in
the digital banking landscape. They prefer remote payments over the use
of paper money and online accounts rather than physically visiting
banks. Furthermore, advances in AI and ML spheres are sweeping further
changes in financial activities. Similarly, biometric analytics are
bolstering banks’ risk assessment efforts with cognitive computing to
handle big customer data.Behavioral biometric security checks provide
insight into particular financial decisions that later aid in
suspiciousness detection. With this improved form of customer analysis,
digital banks can offer easy money management for their users to save an
extra buck. Furthermore, biometric recognition takes the load of paying
bills by offering swift billing solutions.Customers can simply log in
to their online bank accounts, select bills, invoices, or whatever
category of payment and process a transaction by scanning their facial
features.Final verdict-Since the launch of Touch and Face IDs,
biometrics has been an integral part of every business operation. Banks
were relatively slower in adopting applications of this ever-evolving
tech-driven IDV solution. As of now, biometric user authentication
methods can be seen reimaging the ecosystem of digital banking
services.AI-powered biometric security solutions make not only high-risk
transaction handling easier but also detect fraudulent payments in real
time. Hence, customers can avail streamlined online payment experience,
safer access to financial services, and digital onboarding while
banking service providers stay compliant with the regulations.About the

Exploring biometrics within payments-Feb 27, 2023, 1:07 pm ES-By Monica Eaton, founder of Chargebacks911
Biometric
payment systems have some of the most advanced security features on the
market today, but as new shopping channels and payment preferences
emerge so does the need for new verification methods (fingerprint
scanning, facial recognition, etc.) to ensure these payment systems
remain secure and scalable.These methods can more securely authorize
transactions and protect customers’ sensitive information.Biometric
security is a complex mix of technologies, strategies and natural-born
traits. When combined, they ensure authentication through biological
characteristics that are much harder for fraudsters to steal, duplicate
or manipulate. For example, iris, voice or fingerprint recognition tools
can be used for anything requiring a confirmation of identity, from
authorizing consumer payments to providing access to secured
buildings.In general, biometric verification is more secure and reliable
than traditional security techniques. Within a biometric payments
system, different technologies work to measure various authentication
factors, meaning the effectiveness of using one specific indicator over
another varies for different circumstances. With that said, let’s
further explore biometrics within payments.Are there weaknesses within
biometric payment systems? Within biometric payment systems, there are
three authentication factors to validate a user’s identity in a
transaction. The first is ownership – something the user possesses
(card). Next is knowledge, which is something the user knows (PIN number
to their card). Finally, there’s inherence, or something the user
inherently possesses (fingerprint, facial features).Firstly, the
ownership factor can be compromised if the physical card is stolen.
Plus, anyone with the right know-how can use stolen cardholder
information to counterfeit the card. It’s even more accessible in online
transactions, where no card is present; the fraudster can simply use
the cardholder’s information by posing as a legitimate buyer.Similarly,
knowledge is also easy to bypass. Fraudsters are skilled at phishing
attacks, skimming, and camera manipulation to trick cardholders into
surrendering sensitive information necessary to authorize
purchases.However, inherence is more secure because the method of
verification is physiological, making it much harder to copy someone’s
physical features like a fingerprint than to replicate a plastic card or
a password.Biometrics: an edge in payments security-There are a few
biometric payment methods that are currently available to authenticate
eCommerce purchases:1- Device fingerprinting, a tool that uses a scanner
to image the user’s fingerprint digitally; the original image is
destroyed, while a print mapping is saved. Facial recognition works like
digital fingerprinting, with the technology mapping dozens of different
points on the user’s face to create a unique impression of the
individual rather than saving the user’s actual picture.Voice
recognition compares the user’s voice pattern to a pre-recorded sample.
Voice isn’t necessarily as distinct as a face shape or fingerprint, but
it does have certain advantages like being cost-efficient and
non-intrusive compared to other methods.Iris recognition, much like our
unique fingerprints, uses the random pattern of the human iris to help
identify different individuals. This technology is highly accurate at
close range and can work with the cameras installed on most modern
smartphones to map your eye, just like a fingerprint.Palm recognition. A
palm vein scan uses infrared lighting to map the unique vein structures
in your palm and converts the data points into encrypted code. Palm
mapping is relatively new and hasn’t been widely adopted. However, this
is likely to change with the recent development of IOS and Android
applications.Why aren’t biometrics used more widely? It’s an obvious
question but despite all the potential benefits of adopting biometric
security, the technology still features several vulnerabilities and weak
points. First, it cannot be relied upon for a fingerprint scanner or
smartphone camera to be available at every transaction. While consumers
can use biometric authorization on most mobile devices, desktops still
make up a large portion of eCommerce sales.Additionally, companies will
need to adopt hardware capable of reading and interpreting this data to
accept biometric payments. The price of this hardware could be
cost-prohibitive, depending on what is needed and how far a company
wants to take contactless payments.Finally, we cannot forget the
consumer factor. They are more anxious about their privacy and where
personal data goes than ever before. Even if biometric scans do not
actually save or store their biometric information, many consumers might
still refuse to provide these identifiers.A broader strategy to fight
fraud and chargebacks-Ultimately, it doesn’t matter how advanced
biometrics technology is. Businesses will need more than one method to
fight fraud and chargebacks. No single tool can be 100 percent
effective, but a strategic mix of multiple tools can increase consumer
protection and a business’s overall security. Other fraud tools to
consider include CVV verification, AVS, 3DS technology, geolocation, and
fraud blacklisting, just to name a few. Companies need a coordinated,
carefully planned strategy to make the most of the authentication tools
at their disposal.

burned therein.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will
bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them
clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and
shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6
Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of
the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with
thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and
prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto
thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be
visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is
brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against
the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is
brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of
them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a
cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with
thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that
at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think
an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of
unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell
safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor
gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand
upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people
that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and
goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and
the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say
unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company
to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and
goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY
RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man,
prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my
people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And
thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many
people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a
mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel,
as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I
will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I
shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my
servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many
years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to
pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,
saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in
my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken,
Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20
So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the
beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth,
and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my
presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places
shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will
call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord
GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will
plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with
blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many
people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones,
fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS

EZEKIEL 39:1-29
1 Therefore, thou son of man,
prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am
against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2 And I
will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee,(300 MILIION
RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS GET NUKED BY ISRAEL) and will cause thee to come up
from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou,(RUSSIA) and all thy
bands,(RUSSIA SUPPORTED WITH WEAPONS-ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES) and the
people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of
every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6
And I will send a fire (ATOMIC BOMB) on Magog, and among them that
dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7
So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and
I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen
shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9
And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall
set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the
bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall
burn them with fire seven years:
10 So that they shall take no wood
out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they
shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that
spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a
place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the
east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and
there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it
The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13
Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to
them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14
And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through
the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of
the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they
search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any
seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers
have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17
And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every
feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves,
and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do
sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel,
that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of
the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams,
of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21
And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall
see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon
them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity
for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I
my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so
fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity
of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be
jealous for my holy name;
26 After that they have borne their shame,
and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when
they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I
have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their
enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28
Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to
be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto
their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my
spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

US prods Netanyahu to condemn
Smotrich ‘incitement’ after call to wipe out Huwara-State Department
says ‘abhorrent’ remarks will goad others into violence, opening fresh
rift weeks before far-right minister is slated to fly to Washington for
Israel Bonds meeting-By Jacob Magid-MAR 1,23-Today, 3:16 am
The
US on Wednesday said Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s call to “wipe
out” the Palestinian town of Huwara “amounts to incitement to violence”
and urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to disavow the comments by
his senior coalition partner, the latest member of his cabinet to
grapple with Washington.“These comments were irresponsible. They were
repugnant. They were disgusting,” US State Department spokesman Price
said, upon being asked about Smotrich’s comments during a press
briefing. “Just as we condemn Palestinian incitement to violence, we
condemn these provocative remarks that also amount to incitement to
violence.”Smotrich told a panel discussion earlier in the day that “I
think the village of Huwara needs to be wiped out. I think the State of
Israel should do it.” The comments came amid an outpouring of shock and
horror in Israel and abroad after hundreds of settlers ransacked the
Palestinian town of Huwara and surrounding villages Sunday night,
setting dozens of buildings and vehicles on fire, in revenge for a
terror attack in which Israeli brothers driving through the town were
gunned down hours earlier. One Palestinian man was killed and hundreds
more were injured during the rampage, which Israel’s top general in the
West Bank referred to as a “pogrom.”The US condemnation pointed to a
further escalation of frustration in Washington with Israel days after
the Biden administration expressed its outrage over the deadly rioting,
and called on Israel to prosecute the perpetrators and compensate the
dozens of Palestinians whose property was destroyed.“We call on Prime
Minister Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials to publicly and
clearly reject and disavow these comments,” Price added Wednesday. As of
the end of the day, no member of the Israeli cabinet had done
so.Smotrich made his comments less than two weeks before he is slated to
travel to the US to speak at the annual Israel Bonds conference, which
will take place from March 12 to 14 in Washington. Smotrich’s office has
yet to confirm his attendance but a source familiar with the matter
confirmed the scheduled appearance to The Times of Israel last
month.Just as we condemn Palestinian incitement to violence, we condemn
Finance Minister Smotrich’s provocative remarks that also amount to
incitement of violence. It is imperative that Palestinians and Israelis
work together to restore calm. pic.twitter.com/9ivhFdAcnW — Ned Price
(@StateDeptSpox) March 2, 2023-A US official said Monday that no
official meetings between Smotrich and Biden officials were on the books
to date. The Treasury Department did not respond to a query last month
as to whether its officials will meet with Smotrich, who has a long
history of remarks against Arabs, Palestinians, the LGBTQ community, and
non-Orthodox Jews.Asked by CNN if he would condemn Smotrich’s comments
following Price’s call for “senior Israeli officials to publicly and
clearly reject and disavow these comments,” Israeli Ambassador to the US
Michael Herzog said, “Notwithstanding the fact that Israel has been
subjected to a recent wave of horrific terror attacks against its
civilians, it is absolutely not Israeli policy and it’s against our
values to respond by wiping out civilian villages.”The remarks about
Huwara, made at a conference hosted by The Marker business daily
Wednesday, came after Smotrich was asked why he had “liked” a tweet by
Samaria Regional Council deputy mayor Davidi Ben Zion that called “to
wipe out the village of Huwara today” on Sunday evening.“Because I think
the village of Huwara needs to be wiped out. I think the State of
Israel should do it,” Smotrich replied.He added “God forbid,” that the
job should not be done by private citizens. He condemned the rampage,
saying, “We shouldn’t be dragged into anarchy in which civilians take
the law into their own hands.”Smotrich, who heads the far-right
Religious Zionism party, serves as a minister in the Defense Ministry in
charge of the body that authorizes settlement construction and
demolition of Palestinian homes in much of the West Bank, including
large parts of Huwara.As condemnations poured in, Smotrich issued a
statement saying the media was trying to “create a distorted
interpretation” of his remarks. He claimed Huwara is a “hostile village”
where residents throw stones and shoot at Israelis every day and that
he supports a “disproportionate response” by the IDF against the town
for every act of terrorism in order to establish deterrence.He appeared
to have deleted the clarification tweet but later in the day wrote, “so
there isn’t any doubt, I did not mean wipe out the village of Huwara,
rather act in a targeted manner against the terrorists and supporters of
terrorism living there and to exact a heavy price from them in order to
restore security to the [Jewish] residents of the area.”Both settlers
and Palestinians use the main road through Huwara, which sits just to
the south of Nablus, making it a frequent flashpoint of
tensions.Smotrich is now the third member of Netanyahu’s relatively new
cabinet to lock horns with US President Joe Biden’s administration,
joining National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Diaspora Affairs
Minister Amichai Chikli.In November, Price blasted as “abhorrent” a
memorial event for the late extremist rabbi Meir Kahane that Ben Gvir
attended shortly before being sworn in as minister.Days into the new
government, Ben Gvir visited the flashpoint Temple Mount in what US
Ambassador Tom Nides later said was designed to “stir up trouble,” given
the minister’s longstanding support for upending the status quo at the
compound in order to allow Jewish prayer.Chikli last week went on the
Kan public broadcaster and called on Nides to “mind his own business”
after the envoy urged Israel to “pump the breaks” on its judicial
overhaul plans. The ambassador responded on Tuesday that “I really think
that most Israelis do not want America to stay out of their business,”
ostensibly referencing the security, political and diplomatic support
that Washington has provided Jerusalem for decades.The rifts have added
pressure to existing strain between Jerusalem and Washington over
differences in policy regarding the Palestinians, with Israel’s approval
of unprecedented amounts of settlement expansion in the West Bank
drawing repeated condemnations from the Biden administration.Amid the
growing tensions between the US and Israel, Axios reported that
Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and National Security Council
chairman Tzachi Hanegbi are slated to visit Washington next week for
meetings with National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of
State Antony Blinken and other senior US officials to discuss
coordinating against Iran. While the Israeli officials will likely want
to focus the talks on Tehran’s nuclear pursuit, the US has often used
such meetings to also discuss the Palestinian issue.A US official told
The Times of Israel Tuesday that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will
visit Israel next week.
IAEA chief to meet Iranian president in
Tehran for nuclear talks — diplomat-Rafael Grossi, head of UN atomic
watchdog, said hoping to relaunch dialogue on Iran’s program at the
highest level after nearly bomb-grade uranium found
By AFP-MAR 1,23-Today, 11:51 pm
VIENNA,
Austria — The head of the United Nation’s nuclear watchdog will meet
with Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi in Tehran on Saturday to try to
“relaunch the dialogue” on the country’s atomic work, a diplomatic
source said Wednesday.The visit by Rafael Grossi of the International
Atomic Energy Agency comes after it announced that its inspectors in
Iran had found uranium particles enriched to nearly bomb grade, or 90
percent.Last week, Tehran claimed it had not made any attempt to enrich
uranium beyond 60%.Grossi is aiming to “reset the relationship at the
highest level” by directly speaking to Raisi, the source said.“He had
made clear over recent weeks that he was only prepared to go to Teheran
if he had an invitation to speak with the president,” the source
added.Contacted by AFP, the IAEA declined to comment.Grossi “will arrive
in Tehran on Friday evening for high-level meetings planned to be held
on Saturday,” Iran’s Fars news agency reported on Wednesday.
Iran and
world powers struck a landmark accord on limiting the country’s nuclear
activities in 2015, but it started to unravel when the United States
withdrew from it in 2018 under former president Donald Trump.The deal
was designed to give Iran much-needed relief from Western economic
sanctions in return for curbs on its atomic program to prevent it from
developing nuclear weapons.On-and-off negotiations to revive the deal
started in 2021, but have stalled since last year.On Tuesday, a
confidential IAEA report seen by AFP said that uranium particles
enriched up to 83.7% — just below weapons grade — had been detected at
Iran’s underground Fordow plant.The discovery came after Iran had
substantially modified an interconnection between two centrifuge
clusters enriching uranium, without declaring it to the
IAEA.“Discussions are still ongoing” to determine the origin of nearly
bomb grade particles, the IAEA said in the report.While in Tehran,
Grossi will try to secure “more access to the (Fordow) site, more
inspections,” the diplomatic source said.Depending on the outcome of the
trip, the United States and the E3 — France, Germany and Britain — will
decide whether to submit a draft resolution censuring Iran to the IAEA
Board of Governors, which is due to convene next week in Vienna.In
November 2022, Iran was censured for its lack of cooperation regarding
traces of enriched uranium found at three undeclared sites.
Bill
on death penalty for Palestinian terrorists passes preliminary Knesset
vote-Legislation receives support from Yisrael Beytenu opposition party,
advancing in 55-9 vote, despite longstanding pushback from legal and
security establishments-By ToI Staff-1 March 2023, 6:45 pm
The
Knesset on Wednesday advanced a government-backed bill to impose the
death penalty on terrorists who kill Israelis, approving it in its
preliminary reading.The bill was approved 55-9, with the support of the
Yisrael Beytenu opposition party. It was passed alongside a
near-identical version submitted by Yisrael Beytenu MK Oded Forer, and
the two will likely be combined further along in the process.The primary
legislation stipulates that courts will be able to impose the death
penalty on those who have committed a nationalistically motivated murder
of a citizen of Israel. However, it would not apply to an Israeli who
killed a Palestinian.The initiative has long been weighed by the Israeli
right but has consistently faced opposition from the security
establishment, arguing that it would not deter future terror attacks,
and the legal establishment, which cites legal challenges and warns it
could harm Israel in international forums.While previous coalitions
ultimately agreed to shelve death penalty legislation, the current
hardline ruling bloc led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the
most right-wing in Israeli history and the initiative was one of
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s central campaign
promises.His far-right Otzma Yehudit party sponsored the bill, and his
fellow faction member MK Limor Son Har Melech hailed its advancement
Wednesday, saying that even when Palestinian terrorists are tried and
convicted, they enjoy “pleasant” prison conditions, receive stipends
from the Palestinian Authority, and are often released in prisoner
exchanges.During a plenum debate before the vote, she declared that “for
years, an absurd situation has prevailed in the State of Israel, in
which despicable terrorists who murdered Jews are imprisoned in an
Israeli prison for a few years, are released in a terrorist release deal
or a plea bargain and return to walking among us as any other
person.”The ultranationalist MK, whose first husband was killed in a
terror attack in 2003, said imposing the death penalty on terrorists is
“the ethical, just and necessary” thing to do.In his own remarks during
the debate, Hadash-Ta’al MK Ahmad Tibi said his party is ideologically
opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances, and noted that Chief
Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef recently came out in opposition to the death
penalty, as did previous chief rabbis.Palestinian Authority Civil
Affairs Minister Hussein al-Sheikh called Wednesday’s vote was “a
continuation of a racist approach” by Israel. “The one who should be
tried for his crimes is the occupation, not a people suffering under the
oppression of the occupiers.”Instituting a death penalty for terrorists
had already been high on the hard-right coalition’s agenda before a
string of deadly Palestinian attacks killed 14 people since the
beginning of the year. The terror wave, which comes amid escalating
deadly tensions in the West Bank, has re-energized calls for harsher
punitive action against Palestinian perpetrators as well as more severe
deterrent measures.Hebrew media reported earlier this month that
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara was set to oppose the law on the
grounds that it poses significant constitutional difficulties and goes
against Israel’s declarations on the matter in international forums and
against the international trend of limiting the use of the death
sentence.The Ynet news site quoted from what it said was Baharav-Miara’s
planned legal opinion, saying the law wouldn’t serve as a deterrent,
especially when the perpetrators are ideologically motivated and willing
to accept being killed anyway. She also purportedly noted that the only
Western country that still uses death sentences is the US, and even
there only 31 out of 50 states still have it, with seven having nixed it
over the past decade.Israel’s penal code includes capital punishment
but only for exceedingly rare cases — Nazi mastermind Adolf Eichmann was
one of only two people executed by the state in almost 75 years.On
Tuesday, Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock publicly voiced
her concerns over the death penalty bill. “We have abolished this
penalty,” Baerbock said during a press conference in Berlin alongside a
visiting Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, adding that Germany was “talking
about this with every country that has the death penalty, including the
United States,” and that it has proven ineffective as a
deterrent.Baerbock noted that students in German schools are taught that
Israel has only carried out the death penalty in one case — that of
Adolf Eichmann, who played a major role in the Holocaust, in the early
1960s — despite facing a bigger terror threat than any other country.“It
is always an argument that we have used and I say, as a friend of
Israel, that I am convinced that it would be a mistake to enact a death
penalty law,” she noted.(In fact, a second man was executed in Israel —
military officer Meir Tobianski — following a 1948 decision by an IDF
court-martial to convict him of treason during the War of Independence,
though the evidence was circumstantial and he was posthumously cleared
of the charges.)Ben Gvir rebuked Baerbock for her comments.“The last
ones who should be preaching to us are the Germans,” the far-right
minister was quoted as saying by the Ynet news website. “They should
think 1,000 times before talking about Israel’s right to defend itself.”
Israel
should ‘wipe out’ Palestinian town of Huwara, says senior minister
Smotrich-‘Huwara needs to be wiped out. State of Israel should do it,’
top Netanyahu ally says, days after settlers rampaged through West Bank
town following deadly terror attack-By Michael Bachner-1 March 2023,
3:21 pm
Far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich, one of the most
senior members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, said
Wednesday that Israel should “wipe out” the Palestinian town of Huwara
in the West Bank.The remark by Smotrich — who is the finance minister
and also a minister in the Defense Ministry in charge of civilian
affairs in the West Bank — came days after a terrorist from Huwara shot
dead two Israeli brothers, which was followed by extremist settlers
rampaging through the Nablus-area town and setting homes and cars on
fire, resulting in one Palestinian shot dead and several badly hurt.The
Sunday evening rioting was explicitly backed the following morning by
coalition backbencher Zvika Fogel, a lawmaker for the extremist Otzma
Yehudit party, which triggered widespread outrage. On Wednesday,
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and State Prosecutor Amit Aisman
cleared police to launch an investigation of Fogel, head of the
Knesset’s National Security Committee and a former IDF brigadier
general, over his comments.The new remark Wednesday was made by
Smotrich, a far more senior politician, and it arguably went even
further — saying that as a matter of policy, Jerusalem should seek to
remove the entire town, which has a population of some 7,000.The
Religious Zionism party leader, who was taking part in a financial
conference hosted by The Marker business daily, was asked why he had on
Sunday evening “liked” a tweet by Samaria Regional Council deputy mayor
Davidi Ben Zion that called “to wipe out the village of Huwara
today.”“Because I think the village of Huwara needs to be wiped out. I
think the State of Israel should do it,” Smotrich replied.He added that
“God forbid,” the job shouldn’t be done by private citizens, condemning
the rampage and saying “we shouldn’t be dragged into anarchy in which
civilians take the law into their own hands.”In his remarks earlier in
the week, Fogel, the Otzma Yehudit MK, told Galey Israel Radio: “A
closed, burnt Huwara — that’s what I want to see. That’s the only way to
achieve deterrence. After a murder like yesterday’s, we need burning
villages when the IDF doesn’t act.”Following the outrage over his
comments, Fogel tweeted that his words had been “distorted,” without
explaining how. He has since then contended that the military should
have acted, not private citizens, though he has not taken back his
initial remarks.Hours after a Palestinian shooting terror attack that
killed brothers Hallel Yaniv, 21, and Yagel Yaniv, 19, from the
settlement of Har Bracha, dozens of settlers ran riot through Huwara and
other nearby towns, leaving one Palestinian dead and several others
badly injured, in what the top general in charge of the area has labeled
a “pogrom.”Eight Israeli suspects detained on the night of the rioting
were released, three of them to house arrest, according to law
enforcement officials. Another six were detained by police on early
Wednesday, one of whom was released by the afternoon.Smotrich has a
history of making controversial remarks against Palestinians, Arab
citizens of Israel, LGBTQ people and others. He said in the past that
Israel should be ruled by Torah law.
Senior IDF officer: Iran
tried to drone strike two vessels in Arabian Sea last month-Speaking at
INSS conference, Maj. Gen. Oded Basiuk says ‘Iran poses a danger to the
security and stability of the entire region’By Emanuel Fabian-1 March
2023, 1:37 pm
The head of the military’s Operations Directorate,
Maj. Gen. Oded Basiuk, revealed Wednesday that Iran had twice attempted
to attack Israeli-linked vessels in the Arabian Sea in the past
month.His remarks came after Israel accused Iran of attacking an
Israeli-linked tanker in early February, a strike that the ship’s
operator said caused “minor” damage.“Iran is not just Israel’s problem.
And I’m not just talking about the nuclear threat. For example, the
distribution of UAVs and the violation of international freedom of
navigation in the region,” Basiuk said at a conference hosted by the
Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.“In the last month,
Iran tried twice to attack vessels in the Arabian Sea and failed, and it
did so using drones, which we also see being used in the Ukraine-Russia
war,” he said. “Iran poses a danger to the security and stability of
the entire region.”He didn’t provide further details on when exactly the
incidents occurred or what had transpired that led to the failure.On
February 10, Campo Square, a Liberian-flagged product tanker, was “hit
by an airborne object while in the Arabian Sea, approximately 300
nautical miles (555 kilometers) off the coasts of India and Oman,”
according to Eletson, the Greek company that manages the vessel.“Both
the vessel and crew are safe and proceeding as per planned passage.
There is minor damage to the vessel,” Eletson said in a statement a week
after the strike, following a BBC report.Campo Square belongs to Zodiac
Maritime Company, owned by Israeli shipping magnate Eyal Ofer.Citing a
US military official and a regional military source, BBC Persian said
the attack on the Campo Square involved several Iranian ships and likely
the Shahed 136 drone, which Russia has been using in its invasion of
Ukraine.Iran’s government did not acknowledge the attack.Tehran and
Israel have been engaged in a years-long shadow war in the wider Middle
East, with several drone attacks targeting Israeli-associated vessels
traveling around the region.In one such attack in July 2021, Mercer
Street, an oil tanker owned by an Israeli businessman, was struck by a
Shahed drone, killing a British and a Romanian crew member.In November,
Israel and the United States blamed Iran for a drone strike on a tanker
off the coast of Oman. The vessel was operated by a company owned by
Idan Ofer, Eyal Ofer’s brother.“Iran is a continuous challenge,” Basiuk
said at the Wednesday conference. “It is challenging us and we are
challenging it.”
N. Korea wants more control over farming amid
food shortage-ASSOCIATED PRESS-HYUNG-JIN KIM and KIM TONG-HYUNG-Wed,
March 1, 2023 at 8:14 PM EST
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
vowed to strengthen state control over agriculture and make all
available efforts to increase grain production, state media reported, as
the country faces a worsening food shortage.The prospect for an early
resolution of its food insecurity is still dim, as North Korea restricts
the operation of markets and devotes much of its scarce resources to
its nuclear program. While experts believe the food situation is the
worst it has been under Kim's rule, they still say they see no signs of
imminent famine or mass deaths.During a recent four-day ruling Workers’
Party meeting, Kim said his government sees agricultural development as a
matter of “strategic” importance and that farming goals should be
settled without fail, according to the official Korean Central News
Agency.“In order to attain the gigantic long-term objective of rural
development, it is necessary to decisively strengthen the party guidance
over the agricultural sector and improve the rural party work,” Kim was
quoted as saying.He said that all state sectors and units must provide
“mental and moral, material and technical support and assistance to the
rural communities," saying that should be “a trend of the whole
society."Kim also ordered officials to overcome unspecified
“lopsidedness in the guidance on farming” and concentrate on increasing
farm yields. He said provincial, city and county authorities must boost
their guidance on agriculture.KCNA didn’t elaborate how Kim wants to
reinforce and improve his government’s control over agriculture.But
experts have said North Korean authorities’ attempts to supply grain via
state-run facilities and restrict private dealings at markets was
considered one of the reasons behind the worsened food situation. Others
include decreased personal incomes, pandemic-related border curbs that
blocked unofficial rice purchases from China and the overall economic
difficulties deepened by mismanagement, COVID-19 and international
sanctions.North Korea’s grain production last year was estimated at 4.5
million tons, a 3.8% drop from a year earlier, according to South Korean
assessments. In the previous decade, its annual production was an
estimated 4.4 million to 4.8 million tons. South Korea’s spy agency has
said North Korea needs 5.5 million tons of grain to feed its 25 million
people each year.“It is difficult to be optimistic about the food supply
as long as Pyongyang insists on implementing North Korean style
socialism and isolating the country from international trade and
assistance while developing nuclear missiles,” Leif-Eric Easley, a
professor at Ewha University in Seoul, said.Holding a ruling party’s
Central Committee meeting focused on agriculture — while previous
plenary meetings mostly concentrated on the country's nuclear program or
rivalries with the United States and South Korea — could be an
acknowledgement the food situation is serious. But some experts say the
country also likely aims to burnish Kim’s image as a leader caring for
his people and boost domestic support of his push to expand his nuclear
arsenal.Kim also called for faster construction of new irrigation
systems that would help the country cope with extreme weather conditions
brought by climate change. He also called for machinery manufacturers
to build and supply more efficient farming machines and for workers to
accelerate their efforts to reclaim tidelines to expand
farming.According to KCNA, Kim praised the plenary meeting for producing
more definite proposals that would put agriculture on a “stable and
sustained development track" and accelerate overall prosperity. But the
account did not give further specifics.

China
could funnel weapons to Russia through Belarus as defense ties with
Beijing deepen: expert-Caitlin McFall-Wed, March 1, 2023 at 5:28 PM EST
Russian
President Vladimir Putin’s top allies, China and Belarus, enhanced
their own diplomatic ties Wednesday after leaders from both nations met
in Beijing and agreed to deepen defensive coordination as Europe faces
its greatest security threat since World War II.Chinese President Xi
Jinping and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko signed a series of
bilateral agreements that would expand cooperation in areas ranging
from agriculture and trade to artificial intelligence and defense,
reported the Belarusian state news agency Belta.Details on what an
expanded China-Belarus defense partnership would entail were slim,
though according to Belta, the agreement called for increased joint
military training, cooperation on countering terrorism and "a joint
preventive fight against color revolutions," which refers to anti-regime
protests.Xi Lukashenko-RUSSIA AND CHINA IN UNOFFICIAL ARMS RACE AS US
LAGS BEHIND: EXPERTS-But one former Defense Intelligence Agency intel
officer for Russian doctrine and strategy, Rebekah Koffler, told Fox
News Digital that the agreement could pave "the way for China to
potentially funnel weapons and ammunition through to Russia to assist in
the war on Ukraine.""This is a very strategic move by Xi Jinping," she
added, noting that the Chinese leader’s motivations for the burgeoning
partnership with Minsk go beyond his support for Putin."It’s a move to
peel away Belarus from Russia. Russia and China are only short-term
partners of convenience," Koffler said. "They both seek to prevent the
U.S. from intervening into their respective perceived spheres of
influence on behalf of Ukraine and Taiwan."China Belarus-Chinese honor

dependence … and Russia is truly becoming China’s junior partner. China
is gaining more and more leverage over Russia and now over Russia’s
former Soviet subjects," she added. "China wants to outsmart
Russia."Koffler’s point was echoed in another agreement that Xi and
Lukashenko reportedly signed on to Wednesday when they agreed to deepen
"all-round cooperation" under China’s prized Belt and Road Initiative – a
global infrastructure scheme Beijing launched in 2013.Putin’s top
allies did not address recent concerns voiced by the U.S. that China
could look to send Moscow lethal aid to help Russia turn the tide in its
deadly war in Ukraine, but instead both leaders called for a
cease-fire.Xi Bel.China last week rejected the U.S.’s suggestions,
saying it has no plans to send arms and introduced a 12-step peace plan
that it says could help bring an end to the war.Western defense
officials and Kyiv scoffed at the plan, saying it lacked any real
substance as it called for the territorial integrity of all countries to
be respected but did not say what should happen to the Ukrainian
regions Russia illegally annexed last year.Lukashenko threw his weight
behind the ambiguous plan for peace and urged both Ukraine and Russia to
agree to a cease-fire.
Fox News-Putin ally wants to increase
jail time for those who insult Russian army, Wagner Group-Greg
Norman-Wed, March 1, 2023 at 2:01 PM EST
A Putin ally and top
Russian lawmaker is pushing Wednesday to increase jail time for
residents who share information and opinions Moscow deems as insulting
to its military – and now wants to extend the same protections to the
mercenaries of the private Wagner Group.Vyacheslav Volodin, the chairman
of the lower house of Russian parliament, the State Duma, is proposing
amendments to censorship laws that would raise the maximum punishment
for "discrediting" Russia’s armed forces from five to 15 years in
prison, according to Reuters.Russians can already be punished by their
government with up to 15 years in prison for spreading what Moscow
describes is knowingly false information about the military. Around a
week ago, a Russian journalist was handed a six-year sentence after a
court found her guilty of "spreading false information about the Russian
armed forces' actions," The Associated Press reported.Moscow introduced
the laws last year in hopes of stifling domestic criticism and dissent
over its invasion of Ukraine.RUSSIAN REPORTER GETS 6 YEARS FOR
DISPARAGING HER COUNTRY’S MILITARY AMID WAR WITH UKRAINE"This initiative
will protect everyone who today is risking their lives to ensure the
security of the country and our citizens", Volodin wrote on Telegram,
according to Reuters. "The punishment for violators will be severe."The
proposals, which include extending the same protections for the first
time to the Wagner Group, call for fines of up to around $70,000,
correctional or forced labor of up to five years, and imprisonment of up
to 15 years for insulting Russian troops, the news agency adds.Wagner

The Hill-Iran can produce enough material for a nuclear bomb in 12 days: Pentagon-Brad Dress-Wed, March 1, 2023 at 12:32 PM EST
Iran
could produce enough material to develop a nuclear bomb within 12 days,
a senior Pentagon official told lawmakers on Tuesday.Colin Kahl, the
undersecretary of Defense for policy, said Tehran’s nuclear development
progress has been “remarkable” since the Trump administration withdrew
from a nuclear pact in 2018.“In 2018 … it would have taken Iran about
twelve months to produce one bomb’s worth of fissile material,” Kahl
told lawmakers at a House Armed Services Committee hearing. “Now it
would take about twelve days.”The United Nations’ nuclear watchdog
recently warned Iran has enriched uranium at one nuclear site up to 83
percent, close to the 90 percent enrichment level needed to produce
weapons-grade material.About 192 pounds of Iran’s uranium stockpile is
already enriched up to 60 percent and the nation could produce several
bombs, according to the UN, but it would likely take months to fit those
onto missiles.Negotiations between the Biden administration and Iran on
restarting a key nuclear pact to constrain Tehran’s ability to produce
nuclear weapons have stalled in recent months.Kahl said the Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is “on ice” and “not on the horizon
in the near term” for the Biden administration.“The administration’s
position remains that a diplomatic deal to put constraints around Iran’s
program remains the best alternative to prevent Iran from getting a
nuclear weapon,” he told lawmakers.“But the president has also made
clear that his policy is Iran will not get a nuclear weapon — period,”
he added. “And if a diplomatic outcome is not possible, then we have
other options.”The JCPOA, enacted in 2015 during the Obama
administration, lifted sanctions on Iran in return for restrictions on
Tehran’s ability to enrich uranium to levels where it could be developed
into nuclear weapons.Trump scrapped the agreement in 2018, calling it a
“bad deal” for the U.S. before reimposing sanctions on Iran.The Biden
administration began indirect negotiations with Iran in April 2021 to
revive the deal, but talks dragged out and no deal emerged.In December, a
video surfaced of President Biden saying at a rally last year the Iran
nuclear deal was “dead” but his administration was not going to announce
it.When asked to comment on the video, White House National Security
Council spokesperson John Kirby acknowledged there was “no progress”
with the Iran deal.“We don’t anticipate any progress, anytime in the
near future,” Kirby told reporters at the time.Russia’s war in Ukraine
has also raised tensions between Tehran and Washington. Iran has
reportedly been shipping explosive drones to Moscow for months.

Train DerailmentOhio train derailment: Rail union leader says Norfolk Southern workers have fallen ill in East Palestine
Author: Dave "Dino" DeNatale-Published: 8:36 PM EST March 1, 2023
EAST
PALESTINE, Ohio — As Norfolk Southern's cleanup efforts continue at the
site of its freight train derailment in East Palestine, a rail union
leader says workers there have fallen ill.In a letter sent to government
leaders including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Ohio Gov.
Mike DeWine, the head of the American Rail System Federation (ARSF) of
the International Brotherhood of Teamsters pleaded for officials to "use
your influence and power to stop NS's (Norfolk Southern) reckless
business practices that endanger the public and their
Workers."Specifically, Jonathon Long says many Norfolk Southern
employees at the East Palestine derailment site are reporting that they
are experiencing migraines and nausea. One worker told Long that he
asked his supervisor to be transferred out of the derailment site
because of his symptoms, but never heard back from his supervisor and
was left at the job site. Long also says that workers cleaning up the
wreckage in East Palestine were not provided with personal protective
equipment, including respirators, eye protection, and protective
clothing. "When some of the NS (Norfolk Southern) Workers inquired about
the appropriateness of their personal protective equipment and the
safety of their working conditions, they would receive little or no
response from NS officials."The revelation of Long's letter comes as
CNBC reports that leaders from 12 rail unions met with Buttigieg and
Amit Bose, administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration, in
Washington, D.C., Wednesday to discuss the derailment, aftermath and
needed safety improvements. Here are other headlines from East Palestine
on Wednesday:-- Ohio U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown and JD Vance were part of
a bipartisan group of lawmakers who introduced the Railway Safety Act
of 2023 to, among other things, increase required reportings of
hazardous materials carried on freight trains.-- DeWine spent most of
the day on the ground in East Palestine. The governor pledged "to
continue to focus on the safety of the people of East Palestine every
single day.""When I talk to people in the community, the No. 1 desire
that is expressed to me is their desire to get back to where they were,"
DeWine said. "Back to normal, live their lives."-- Norfolk Southern CEO
Alan Shaw said Wednesday that he plans to testify next Thursday at a
U.S. Senate hearing on the derailment.
Ohio toxic train
disaster leads to more concerns in other states while scientists say
chemical tests in East Palestine are unusually high-By Holly Yan, Jen
Christensen and Celina Tebor, CNN-Updated 9:18 PM EST, Wed March 1, 2023
CNN
— The aftermath of the toxic train wreck in Ohio keeps spreading to
more states as scientists say tests in East Palestine show unusually
high levels of some chemicals.Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb is the latest
out-of-state official to say he was stunned to learn hazardous waste
from the Norfolk Southern train derailment and subsequent release of
toxic chemicals was headed to his state.Feds pressure railroads to
review detectors that might have prevented East Palestine
derailment“After learning third-hand that materials may be transported
to our state yesterday, I directed my environmental director to reach
out” to the US Environmental Protection Agency, Holcomb said in a
written statement Tuesday.“The materials should go to the nearest
facilities, not moved from the far eastern side of Ohio to the far
western side of Indiana,” Holcomb said. “I want to know exactly what
precautions will be taken in the transport and disposition of the
materials.”After surprise shipments of hazardous waste to Texas and
Michigan, the EPA approved two sites in Ohio to handle safe disposal of
the waste.Another two sites – Heritage Environmental Services’ hazardous
waste landfill in Roachdale, Indiana, and Ross Incineration Services in
Grafton, Ohio – will receive contaminated waste starting Tuesday, EPA
Region 5 Administrator Debra Shore said Monday. She said Indiana
officials and state partners were notified before the EPA approved “the
shipment of any waste from the derailment to their state or
district.”Texas, Michigan officials complain about water, soil from
train wreck being transported into their jurisdictions. Soil from the
Ohio train wreck being collected.Texas and Michigan officials say they
didn't know water, soil from Ohio train wreck would be moved to their
states-But US EPA Administrator Michael Regan said the agency is
developing measures to give authorities a “heads up” about incoming
waste shipments and to keep Norfolk Southern accountable for the
material it is moving.On the other side of Ohio, the Pennsylvania
Department of Health is opening a health resource center in Beaver
County so residents “can talk to public health experts, sign up to have
their well water tested, and learn about available resources from
professionals there to help,” Gov. Josh Shapiro tweeted Tuesday.Beaver
County is just across the state border from East Palestine – a village
of 5,000 struggling to understand the full breadth of consequences from
the February 3 toxic train wreck that burned for days and led to the
release of the dangerous chemical vinyl chloride.A health assessment
clinic there has seen more than 130 people since it opened its doors one
week ago. The Ohio Department of Health says the clinic’s aim is to
take stock of the ailments residents are experiencing and help connect
them with available local resources.‘We don’t know … what the long-term
risk is’A new data analysis suggests nine out of the dozens of chemicals
that the EPA has been monitoring are higher than what normally would be
found in East Palestine, according to scientists from Texas A&M and
Carnegie Mellon universities.If the levels of some chemicals remain
high, it could pose a problem for residents’ health over time, the
scientists said. Temperature changes or high winds might stir up the
chemicals and release them into the atmosphere.High levels of chemicals
could pose long-term risks at Ohio train derailment site, researchers
say The chemical with the highest concentration found in East Palestine
was a substance called acrolein, the data analysis said.Acrolein is used
to control plants, algae, rodents and microorganisms. It is a clear
liquid at room temperature and is toxic. It can cause inflammation and
irritation of the skin, respiratory tract and mucous membranes,
according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.“It’s not
elevated to the point where it’s necessarily like an immediate
‘evacuate the building’ health concern,” said Albert Presto, an
associate research professor of mechanical engineering at Carnegie
Mellon’s Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation, who is working
on the university’s chemical monitoring effort in East Palestine.“But,
you know, we don’t know necessarily what the long-term risk is or how
long that concentration that causes that risk will persist.”While
acrolein was not on the list of chemicals carried on the derailed train
cars, it can be created during the combustion of fuels, wood and
plastics, according to the International Agency for Research on
Cancer.The EPA offers cleaning services to residents-Some East Palestine
residents have reported rashes, headaches, nausea and bloody noses
since the derailment and the February 6 controlled release and burning
of vinyl chloride.During his third visit to the town Tuesday, the EPA
chief said ongoing tests of the air and municipal water show both are
safe – but urged anyone who is feeling “any kind of adverse health
impacts” to seek medical attention.NTSB Investigators conduct Unmanned
Aircraft System operations for the Norfolk Southern freight train
derailment near East Palestine, Ohio.Here's what's happened since the
Ohio train derailment more than 3 weeks ago-Regan returned to East
Palestine to mark the opening of the “EPA’s community welcome center,”
which will be open daily so “residents and business owners can stop in
to get their questions answered, sign up for home air monitoring, and
learn more about cleaning services.”“We’ve been testing the air from the
very beginning, and the state has been testing the water,” Regan
said.“Every chemical that was on that train and every byproduct from
those chemicals have been tested or are part of our testing regimen,” he
said. “So we believe firmly that our testing regimen is protective.The
EPA is also deploying a mobile laboratory to conduct “real time” air
monitoring and sampling in the village, EPA regional administrator Debra
Shore said Tuesday afternoon. The mobile lab will analyze air samples
on-site and deliver results quickly, so officials won’t have to wait for
samples to be sent to other labs.Additionally, the agency offering
cleaning services – which will be reimbursed by Norfolk Southern – to
any concerned resident in East Palestine.“There have been many residents
here who have indicated that they worry about some residual, or some
dust or some particles,” Regan said. “While we don’t believe that there
are any adverse health impacts in homes or businesses as it relates to
the derailment, this is an additional step we’re taking to alleviate
concern and lower the angst.”More private well water gets tested-Ohio
officials have said East Palestine’s municipal water supply is safe to
drink, citing multiple tests and the fact that the municipal water comes
from five wells encased in steel deep underground.A member of the
Environmental Protection Agency takes water samples from Sulphur Run
creek following a train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, US, on
Thursday, February 23, 2022.As crews remove contaminated soil and liquid
from Ohio toxic train wreck site, concerns emerge about where it's
going-But health officials warn those using private well water should
get it tested before using it. The Columbiana County Health District is
posting test results online.Across the border in Pennsylvania, the state
Department of Environmental Protection has collected samples from
“nearly every private well” in the state within one mile of the
derailment site, the governor said.The goal is to independently verify
the safety of the water in Pennsylvania, Shapiro said.He reiterated that
“Norfolk Southern will pay for the entire cost of the clean up,”
including reimbursing Pennsylvania county fire departments for
“equipment that was damaged or contaminated while responding to the
derailment.”Buttigieg pushes for more regulation and cooperation-US
Transporation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has called for Norfolk Southern
and the rest of the freight rail industry to take a number of immediate
actions, including committing to phase in safer tank cars by 2025.The
Department of Transportation also wants Congress to take up legislation
that would increase the maximum fines the DOT can issue to rail
companies for violating safety regulations, Buttigieg said.He also
called on the CEOs of major freight rail companies to “join a close-call
reporting system that protects whistleblowers who spot issues that
could lead to accidents,” Buttigieg told CNN on Tuesday.“We’re focusing
on lessons learned when it comes to rail safety.”CNN’s Miguel Marquez,

AFP-La Nina ending but warming El Nino may strike soon: UN-Robin MILLARD-Wed, March 1, 2023 at 9:26 AM EST
An
exceptionally long La Nina weather phenomenon that intensified drought
and flooding is finally ending, the United Nations said Wednesday -- but
what comes next might bring its own problems.The outgoing La Nina
phenomenon, a cooling of surface temperatures that can have a widespread
impact on global weather conditions, started in September 2020.However,
despite La Nina's cooling effect, both 2021 and 2022 were warmer than
any year prior to 2015.Now El Nino, its warming opposite in the cycle,
El Nino, could be on the way this year, the UN's World Meteorological
Organization said in its quarterly update.The WMO said that after an
unusually stubborn and protracted La Nina dragged on for three
consecutive years -- a so-called triple-dip -- there was a good chance
El Nino would develop in June-August."The first triple-dip La Nina of
the 21st century is finally coming to an end," said WMO chief Petteri
Taalas."La Nina's cooling effect put a temporary brake on rising global
temperatures, even though the past eight-year period was the warmest on
record," he added."If we do now enter an El Nino phase, this is likely
to fuel another spike in global temperatures."- Uncertain forecasts -La
Nina is the large-scale cooling of surface temperatures in the central
and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. It normally occurs every two to
seven years.Conditions oscillate between La Nina and its opposite El
Nino, with neutral conditions in between.The WMO said there was a
90-percent probability of neutral conditions during March to May,
decreasing to 80 percent in the April-June window and 60 percent in
May-July.The chances of El Nino developing are forecast as 15 percent in
April-June, 35 percent in May-July and 55 percent in
June-August.However, forecasts produced at this time of year come with a
higher degree of uncertainty."We need an extra two or three months to
have a more confident idea of what to expect," said Alvaro Silva, a
consultant at WMO working on the quarterly updates.Tracking the
oscillation between the two phases helps countries prepare for their
potential impacts, such as floods, droughts or extreme heat, he told
AFP.- El Nino risks - Even with the cooling La Nina, "the past eight
years were the warmest on record, so we have here an important signal of
climate change", he said."With El Nino, there is an increased
likelihood that we will see the warmest year on record."The WMO said
that even though La Nina was coming to an end, latent impacts were
likely for some time to come due to its long duration, so some of its
effects on rainfall might persist.While El Nino and La Nina are a
natural phenomenon, they take place "against a background of
human-induced climate change, which is increasing global temperatures,
affecting seasonal rainfall patterns, and making our weather more
extreme", the WMO said.rjm/nl/jj
WHO chief visits rebel-held Syria for first time after quake-Omar Haj Kadour-Wed, March 1, 2023 at 11:31 AM EST
World
Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Wednesday urged
the international community to help earthquake-hit northwest Syria, on
his first ever visit to rebel-held areas of the war-ravaged country."The
people of northwest Syria need the assistance of the international
community to recover and rebuild," Tedros told reporters after entering
from neighbouring Turkey via the Bab al-Hawa border crossing."I call on
the international community, governments, philanthropists, individuals,
to dig deep," added Tedros, the highest-ranking United Nations official
to visit the rebel-held area since civil war broke out almost 12 years
ago.The WHO chief had already travelled to government-controlled Aleppo
and Damascus the same week as the February 6 disaster that killed more
than 50,000 people in Turkey and Syria.Tedros on Wednesday visited
several hospitals and a shelter near the Turkish border for people
displaced by the disaster, an AFP correspondent said.Turkish-backed
officials in Syria have put the death toll in rebel-held areas at 4,537,
while the Syrian government has said 1,414 people were killed in areas
under its control.The UN has launched a $397 million appeal to help
quake victims in Syria, but Tedros warned that "we are not getting as
much as what is needed for this emergency".- 'Needs increasing' -"Even
before the earthquake, needs were increasing while international aid was
decreasing," Tedros said."We must not close our eyes or turn our backs
on the Syrian people."In the aftermath of the quake, activists and
emergency teams in the rebel-held northwest had decried the UN's slow
response, contrasting it with the planeloads of humanitarian aid that
have been delivered to government-controlled airports.By noon Wednesday,
at least 258 aircraft laden with aid had reached regime-controlled
areas, 129 of them from the United Arab Emirates, transport ministry
official Suleiman Khalil said.UN relief chief Martin Griffiths had
admitted on February 12 that the body had "so far failed the people in
northwest Syria".The United Nations says at least 420 trucks loaded with
UN aid have now crossed into the rebel-held pocket since the
tragedy.The quake came nearly 12 years into Syria's civil war which
devastated swathes of the country, killed nearly half a million people
and displaced millions more.More than four million people live in areas
outside government control in Syria's north and northwest, 90 percent of
whom depend on aid to survive.- Crossings -The first UN aid convoy
crossed into the area on February 9 -- three days after the
7.8-magnitude quake struck -- and carried tents and other relief for
5,000. That convoy had been expected before the earthquake.The UN
largely delivers relief to Syria's northwest via neighbouring Turkey
through the Bab al-Hawa crossing -- the only way for aid to enter
without Damascus's permission.The crossing is located in the Idlib
region, which UN officials rarely visit and is controlled by the
jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.The WHO chief said on February 12
that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had expressed openness to more
border crossings for aid to be brought to quake victims in the
rebel-held northwest.On February 13, the United Nations said Damascus
had allowed it to also use two other crossings in areas outside regime
control -- Bab al-Salama and Al-Rai -- for three months.An AFP
correspondent said a new aid convoy entered via Bab al-Salama on
Wednesday.The first UN delegation to visit rebel-held northwestern Syria
after the earthquake crossed from Turkey on February 14.It comprised
deputy regional humanitarian coordinator David Carden and Sanjana Quazi,
who heads the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in
Turkey, and was largely an assessment mission.ohk/aya/lg/srm
World
not adequately prepared for increasing disasters, UN report
says-‘Highly unlikely’ global community will meet 2030 goal to reduce
casualties, damage, says International Science Council; floods and
storms, exacerbated by climate change, top list-By AFP-1 March 2023,
1:43 pm
UNITED NATIONS — Earthquakes, floods, storms — the world
is not adequately prepared to face increasing disasters, a report
published Tuesday said, calling for a rethink on global risk
management.Since 1990, more than 10,700 disasters have affected over six
billion people worldwide, according to data from the United Nations
Office for Disaster Risk Reduction.In 2015, the international community
adopted global goals to lower casualties and damage by the year 2030 by
investing in risk evaluation and reduction, as well as disaster
preparedness, in a declaration known as the “Sendai Framework.”However,
it is “highly unlikely we will meet the Sendai Framework goals by 2030
given current trends,” said a report by the International Science
Council, which includes dozens of scientific organizations.Floods and
storms, which have been exacerbated by climate change, top the list of
disasters and account for 42 percent of the total.The cascading
disasters are “setting back hard-won development gains in many parts of
the world,” the report said.“Far too little attention and investment is
put to long-term planning and prevention, from strengthening building
codes to adopting hazard alert systems,” said Peter Gluckman, president
of the ISC.This lack of preparedness comes even as the international
community is quick to mobilize after disasters like the recent
earthquake in Turkey and Syria, he added.Mami Mizutori, UN special
representative for disaster risk reduction, said “the multiple
challenges of the last three years have laid bare the fundamental need
for greater global readiness for the next disaster.”“We need to
reinforce our infrastructure, communities, and ecosystems now, rather
than rebuild them in the aftermath,” she added.The report additionally
drew attention to resource allocation issues. For example, only 5.2% of
aid for developing countries for disaster response between 2011 and 2022
was dedicated to risk reduction. The rest was allocated to relief and
post-disaster reconstruction.The ISC calls for the widespread deployment
of early warning systems, noting that 24 hours’ notice of a storm could
reduce damage by 30%.A report released in late January by the UN
General Assembly also noted that countries were not on track to meet
goals under the Sendai framework.Not only is the number of people
affected by disasters each year increasing, but so is the direct damage,
which reached an average of $330 billion per year during the 2015-2021
period.
Minor tremor rattles Tiberias amid increase in regional
seismic activity-Geological Institute says temblor’s epicenter 2
kilometers northwest of city; no immediate reports of damage or
injuries-By ToI Staff-1 March 2023, 11:13 am
A 3.0-magnitude
earthquake was recorded in Israel on Wednesday morning, the Israel
Geological Institute said.The quake’s epicenter was located two
kilometers northwest of Tiberias, a city on the western shore of the Sea
of Galilee.“I’m still shaking,” a local resident posted on Facebook.
“It’s like a tank passed through the neighborhood.”There were no
immediate reports of damage or injuries.The tremor came amid a
significant uptick in seismic activity in Israel and the region at
large. Over the course of February, a total of six earthquakes have been
registered in the country.On Monday, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake hit the
already disaster-struck Turkey-Syrian border region, also rattling
Israel.The head of the government’s earthquake preparedness committee
recently warned lawmakers that the main cities were not fully prepared
for a major earthquake. A comptroller report found there were 600,000
buildings in the country that do not meet the standard for earthquake
resistance.The National Security Council has reportedly sped up
preparations for a strong earthquake in Israel. Over NIS 3 billion have
been reportedly allocated to strengthen approximately 40,000 apartments
in the most at-risk areas. In addition to this, the government is
planning to pass a multi-year plan worth about NIS 50 billion to
strengthen hundreds of thousands of apartments and buildings throughout
the country.Israel lies along an active fault line — the Great Rift
Valley, or the Syrian African Rift, a tear in the earth’s crust that
includes the area of the border separating Israel and Jordan. The last
major earthquake to hit the region was in 1927 — a 6.2-magnitude tremor
that killed 500 people and injured 700 — and seismologists estimate that
such earthquakes occur in this region approximately every 100 years.Tel
Aviv University researchers published a study in 2020 warning that such
an earthquake, large enough to cause hundreds of fatalities, will
likely hit the country in the coming years.Last year, a new cutting-edge
technology capable of sensing the first sign of an earthquake and
quickly sending warnings to the Home Front command was unveiled by
Geological Institute. The system comprises 120 sensors, called
seismometers, that are buried in the ground at roughly ten-kilometer
(six-mile) intervals, mainly along the seismic fault lines of the Dead
Sea and the Carmel Fault near Haifa in the north.Sue Surkes and Danielle

18 For the wrath of God is revealed
from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who
hold the truth in unrighteousness;

were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish
heart was darkened.

GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a
precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not
make haste.17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to
the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the
waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with
death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not
stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be
trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall
take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by
night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
DANIEL 8:23-25
23
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are
come to the full, a king (EU DICTATOR) of fierce countenance, and
understanding dark sentences,(FROM THE OCCULT) shall stand up.
24 And
his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power:(SATANS POWER) and
he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall
destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy
also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify
himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also
stand up against the Prince of princes;(JESUS) but he shall be broken
without hand.DANIEL 11:36-40
36 And the king shall do according to
his will;(EU PRESIDENT) and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself
above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of
gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that
that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God
of his fathers,(THIS EU DICTATOR IS A EUROPEAN JEW) nor the desire of
women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38
But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces:(HES A MILITARY
GINIUS) and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold,
and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus
shall he do in the most strong holds (CONTROL HEZBOLLAH,AL-QUAIDA
MURDERERS ETC) with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and
increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many,(HIS ARMY
LEADERS) and shall divide the land for gain.
40 And at the time of
the end shall the king of the south(EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR
PROTECTING ISRAELS SECURITY) and the king of the north(RUSSIA) shall
come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and
with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall
overflow and pass over.
ZECHARIAH 14:12-13
12 And this shall
be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have
fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they
stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes,
and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall
come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be
among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his
neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his
neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)
UN Security Council to
continue engaging on Israeli-Palestinian conflict, envoys say-UAE
ambassador says members received ‘concerning’ update on West Bank
violence in private session, the third emergency meet since Netanyahu
established government 2 months ago-By Jacob Magid-MAR 1,23-Today, 10:42
pm
The United Nations Security Council will continue to engage
on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so long as tensions between the
sides continue to escalate, members said Tuesday, after the panel held
its third emergency session to discuss the issue since the establishment
of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hardline government two months
ago.“The countries around the table agreed that the escalation of
tensions needs to be something we’re kept abreast of and that we should
try to see if there are ways that we can stop any incitement to further
violence and to promote dialogue,” Malta’s Ambassador to the UN Vanessa
Frazier told reporters after the completion of a closed session that was
convened at the request of the United Arab Emirates to discuss the
deadly violence that took place earlier this week in the West Bank.Two
Israeli brothers were shot dead while driving through the Palestinian
town of Huwara on Sunday. Hours later, hundreds of settlers carried out a
rampage through the town hours later, burning cars and buildings, with
one Palestinian killed in as-yet unclear circumstances. On Monday, an
Israeli-American was shot dead by Palestinian gunmen near
Jericho.Frazier’s remarks, which were reiterated by UAE Ambassador Lana
Nusseibah, follow pushback from Israeli officials over the council’s
focus on Israel, with Jerusalem arguing that it is disproportionate and
biased against it.Nusseibah said that council members received a
“concerning” briefing on the latest escalations from the UN’s Mideast
envoy Tor Wennesland, who told them that “the lack of a political
horizon [for an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal] is causing a continual
cycle of violence and reprisals on the ground.”“Council members all
spoke with one voice in the room encouraging de-escalation, urging no
further unilateral actions, urging protection of civilians,” she
added.Speaking after her, Palestinian Ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour
said the Security Council has an obligation to find ways to “provide
protection” for Palestinian civilians after the settler rampage in
Huwara.Mansour said it would have been helpful for Security Council
representatives to visit Huwara so they could “see with their own eyes
(and) feel the horror in the minds and hearts of children and mothers
and their families.”“We will continue knocking on the door of the
Security Council, not only to speak in one voice, but to take further
steps,” Mansour said.In addition to convening two other emergency
sessions — one after far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben
Gvir visited the flashpoint Temple Mount and another after a deadly IDF
raid in the Palestinian city of Jenin — the Security Council has held
two mandated monthly sessions for briefings on the conflict. After the
most recent one last week, members adopted a rare presidential statement
condemning Israeli settlement activity.The Palestinian mission had
pushed the council to adopt a resolution, but the US pressured members
to suffice with the more symbolic presidential statement, two diplomats
for countries on the panel confirmed to The Times of Israel. Still, the
statement was the first of its kind in nine years.The decision to hold
Tuesday’s emergency session was blasted by Israeli Ambassador to the UN
Gilad Erdan, who claimed in a statement that the Security Council
“continues to ignore the murderous terrorist attacks and the Palestinian
incitement.”“Council members close their eyes to the daily and
incessant terrorism that claims the lives of innocent Israelis and deal
obsessively — like puppets on a string — only with the demands of the
Palestinians,” he said.
PA’s Abbas said to tell forces to resist
IDF troops, settlers who enter ‘our lands’Senior PLO member Azzam
al-Ahmad says Palestinian troops told not to hesitate, emphasizes
importance of ‘national resistance’By ToI Staff-1 March 2023, 6:36 pm
Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has instructed PA security forces to
confront Israeli troops and settlers if they enter
Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank, a senior PA official said
on Tuesday.“President Abbas instructed the security services to
confront the occupation forces and settlers,” Azzam al-Ahmad, a member
of the executive leadership of the Fatah party and the Palestine
Liberation Organization told the Palestinian Satellite Channel. “We
stress the importance of the national resistance,” he added.“If they
enter our lands, don’t hesitate to confront them,” al-Ahmad said,
apparently referring to Abbas’s instructions regarding Area A of the
West Bank.“The best example is what is going on in Nablus [where battles
between IDF soldiers and Palestinian gunmen have taken place in the
northern West Bank city], and even in Huwara,” the site of a violent
extremist settler riot, he said.“Not long ago, they [PA security forces]
fought with them [Israeli soldiers] in Huwara,” he claimed, without
giving details.The Israeli security establishment has long hailed
coordination with PA forces as critical for combating terror and
maintaining stability in the West Bank. Abbas recently cut ties
following a deadly Israeli military raid in the Jenin refugee camp in
the West Bank that killed nine Palestinians, including at least one
civilian.At a summit in the Jordanian port city of Aqaba on Sunday,
Israeli and Palestinian officials agreed to take steps to resume
coordinationWhile the talks were ongoing, a deadly Palestinian terror
attack near Nablus on Sunday killed two Israeli brothers. After that,
settlers ran riot through Huwara and nearby towns, with the violence
leaving one Palestinian dead and several others badly injured, as well
as torching homes and cars, and killing sheep.The military has bolstered
the West Bank with four additional infantry battalions following the
attack and subsequent settler rioting in Huwara.Last Wednesday, 11
Palestinians were killed and more than 80 wounded in a gun battle when
Israeli troops raided Nablus to arrest terror operatives. Palestinian
terror groups said at least seven of those killed were their operatives.
Another three were confirmed to have been civilians.Tensions between
Israel and the Palestinians have been high for the past year, with the
IDF conducting near-nightly raids in the West Bank amid a series of
deadly Palestinian terror attacks.There has also been a rise in settler
violence toward Palestinians in recent months.Emanuel Fabian contributed
