The Canadian Press-What's next for Hunter Biden in court and Congress after his plea deal derails-Thu, July 27, 2023 at 1:58 p.m. EDT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The unraveling of Hunter Biden's plea agreement has thrust his criminal case into uncertain waters and given new fodder to Republican critics in Congress as they push ahead with investigations into the president's youngest son.Biden was supposed to plead guilty Wednesday to misdemeanor charges for failing to pay taxes. But U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika in Delaware put the brakes on the guilty plea after raising concerns during an hourslong hearing about the structure and terms of the agreement and another deal that would allow him to avoid prosecution on a gun charge if he meets certain conditions.Plea deals are carefully negotiated between defense lawyers and prosecutors over the course of weeks or months and it's unusual — especially in high-profile cases — for judges to not sign off on them. But Wednesday's hearing revealed that the two sides apparently did not see eye to eye on the scope of the agreement around a non-prosecution clause for crimes outside of the gun charge.A look at what happens now in the criminal case and what's next for the Biden investigations in Congress: WHAT HAPPENS NOW IN COURT? Noreika — an appointee of former President Donald Trump — told both sides to file written briefs addressing her concerns within 30 days. Among other things, Noreika took issue with a provision in the agreement on the gun charge that she said would have created a role for her where she would determine if he violated the terms. The lawyers said they wanted her to serve as a neutral fact finder in determining if a violation happened, but Noreika said that is the Justice Department's job — not the judge's.Hunter Biden's lawyers and the Justice Department also disagreed on the extent to which the agreement gave him immunity from future prosecution. A prosecutor said Wednesday their investigation was ongoing, and that the agreement protecting him from other potential charges was limited only to certain offenses over a certain time frame. Biden's lawyers said it was broader than that. After intense courtroom negotiations, the two sides appeared to agree to a more narrow non-prosecution clause.

Trump lawyers meet with prosecution prior to expected indictment-Former US president being investigated for role in inciting January 6 riot on US Capitol and efforts to overturn 2020 election results-By Eric Tucker Today, 7:39 pm-JUL 27,23

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawyers for Donald Trump were meeting Thursday with members of special counsel Jack Smith’s team as a potential indictment loomed over the former president’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, according to a person familiar with the matter.The meeting included Trump lawyer John Lauro, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to The Associated Press to describe a private gathering.Trump earlier this month was informed by Smith’s office that he was a target of the Justice Department’s investigation, suggesting that an indictment could be soon.The investigation has focused on the turbulent two-month period after the November 2020 election in which Trump refused to accept his loss to Joe Biden and spread lies that victory was stolen from him. The turmoil resulted in the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol, when Trump loyalists violently broke into the building, attacked police officers and disrupted the congressional counting of electoral votes. More than 1,000 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Capitol riot.In between the election and the riot, Trump urged local election officials to undo voting results in their states, pressured then-US vice president Mike Pence to halt the certification of electoral votes and falsely claimed that the election had been stolen — despite the fact that numerous federal and local officials, a long list of courts, top former campaign staffers and even his own attorney general have all said there is no evidence of the fraud he alleges.A spokesman for Smith declined to comment on Thursday’s meeting.Trump was charged by Smith’s team last month with illegally hoarding classified documents at his Palm Beach, Florida, estate, Mar-a-Lago, and concealing them from investigators. He was also indicted in New York in March on charges of falsifying business records in connection with an alleged hush money payment to a porn actor. And prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia, are preparing to announce charging decisions in the coming weeks related to efforts to subvert the election in that state.

Why can’t we have this one place to ourselves?'-At a Haifa church, Jewish pilgrims test coexistence strained by painful history-Haredi visitors outside Stella Maris say they want to pray near the presumed burial site of Prophet Elisha; churchgoers say it’s just another attempt to intimidate Christians-By Canaan Lidor Today, 4:47 pm

As Christian worshipers stream in for prayer at the Stella Maris church, they are flanked by two small but conspicuous groups of young men standing on either side of the main entrance.The men are not there for moral support.They are an impromptu security force, made up of volunteers who have been standing guard here during services in recent weeks because of a dispute with Haredi Jews who have begun to come and pray outside this iconic church in Haifa.Seen locally as provocateurs bent on intimidating Arabs, the Jewish pilgrims say they merely want to worship outside what they believe is the burial place of Prophet Elisha, a biblical figure from the 8th century BCE and the disciple and successor of Elijah.“This is for our own safety,” said one of the young Christian men, who works at his father’s popular falafel shop in Haifa, of the security posse flanking the entrance. He spoke to The Times of Israel on condition of anonymity, saying, “If things escalate, I don’t want your article to establish some record about me.”Things did escalate just days later: On Sunday, Christian worshipers chased away from the area around the entrance to the church several dozen Haredi Jews from the Breslov Hasidic movement.It was the latest in a string of attempts this summer by Breslovers to pray near the church, which has recently been added to the itineraries of several organizers of pilgrimages to the graves of Jewish sages.The developments around Stella Maris are rare disturbances highlighting historic grudges in a city where deadly fighting between Jews and Arabs in 1948 led to a massive flight of Arab residents but that has since become a rare model for harmonious coexistence by followers of the three main Abrahamic faiths and beyond.Churchgoers at Stella Maris dismiss the religious reasons cited by the Jewish pilgrims as a flimsy pretext for intimidating Christians, allegedly with the tacit support of the right-wing government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.The Jewish pilgrims, meanwhile, decry the hostility of the Christians as intolerance and hooliganism, claiming they are backed up by the left-leaning mayor, Einat Kalish, and the media. Kalish’s office did not immediately respond to requests for a reaction on these claims.The pilgrimages have led to violence in at least two cases, which ended with only minor injuries. In the scuffle on Sunday, men from inside and around the Stella Maris church shoved about 60 Haredi men away as the ultra-Orthodox Jews prayed outside the church.Police separated the Haredim and the Christians and briefly detained several Jewish worshipers. In a previous scuffle this month, police arrested a Christian for assaulting a Haredi man near the church, and patrol vehicles have taken up stations opposite the church throughout this week.On Monday, several hundred Christians held a vigil outside the church. It turned into a protest against the pilgrimages, with an unauthorized blockage of a main traffic artery.“The Jews who come here are not about Judaism or religion at all,” said Father William Abu Shqar, the director of the office of the Greek-Catholic Bishop of Haifa. “Because of what’s going on with the government, they’re coming out all over the place. Jewish worship never existed here; it’s made up to gain a foothold in this place that’s been sacred to Christians for centuries,” Abu Shqar, 66, told The Times of Israel.Abu Shqar is not alone in identifying a trend of harassment and hostility toward Christians. Several leaders and followers of the faith have said that since the new government came to power at the end of last year, they have been seeing increased expressions of hostility, mainly spitting on the ground in their direction, by devout Jews in the Old City of Jerusalem.The young falafel vendor at Stella Maris threatened retaliation if Jewish pilgrimages to Stella Maris continued.“If this continues, we will have to target faith [sites] too, to preserve our security. We want to defend ourselves, our land, and our church,” said the vendor. The pilgrimages have “shaken the feeling of security and safety of Christians in Haifa and enhanced our feeling of being discriminated against,” he said.Asked if he’s angry, the falafel vendor replied: “You bet I’m angry. I’m angry about a lot of things. But we never wanted to intervene. Haifa never used to be like this. It still isn’t — Jews and Arabs live here side by side in peace. Next time they come, we will make pork BBQ and have them eat it. Alternatively, you think I can’t train a pig to shit inside synagogues?”But other churchgoers downplayed the issue. “What, the Jewish worshipers outside? The more the merrier,” said one man who came to Stella Maris last week with his son and wife to light candles in the church’s grotto. “It doesn’t bother me if they pray outside: Ahlan wa sahlan,” he said, using an Arabic-language phrase that is often used to greet a guest. The man declined to be named.The grotto is one of two places in Haifa known as the Cave of Elijah, and associated with that prophet, according to the Book of Kings of the Hebrew Bible. Many Christians believe Elijah prayed at the grotto inside the Stella Maris church, a 19th-century structure whose striking white facade and prominent bell tower crown a steep incline of the Carmel Mountain range overlooking the Mediterranean.Inside, an impressive and ornate chapel with frescos of biblical scenes focused on the Virgin Mary wows visitors who may not expect such splendor when they first step into the dark and relatively small interior.Stella Maris has a symbolic significance for its beauty and age but also for its connection to the area: It is the home base for the ancient Catholic order known as the Carmelites, named for the mountain. Each year, thousands of Christians ascend to Stella Maris in a ceremonial procession. Hundreds of foreign tourists visit the church each month.Ayman Odeh, a Haifa-based Knesset lawmaker who heads the predominantly Arab Hadash-Ta’al political alliance, issued veiled threats of violence of his own on Sunday during a speech in the Israeli parliament.“I want to tell all of you: You don’t belong in Haifa. In our city, Haifa, you do not belong,” Odeh said. He did not explain who exactly doesn’t belong there, but he issued a threat. “Either you deal with the hooligans, or we will,” warned Odeh, whose family is Muslim but who attended a Christian school growing up.Breslovers who visited the church say the hooligans are in fact the Christians preventing Jewish pilgrims from praying outside the church.“There are multiple sources indicating the church as the grave of Prophet Elisha,” said Benjamin Israel, a 48-year-old Jerusalemite. Israel visited Stella Maris with several dozen other Breslovers on Sunday and said the locals had assaulted the Jewish pilgrims.“We were standing off and away from the entrance, praying quietly. Suddenly dozens of Arabs attacked, shoved us, and wounded two people,” said Israel.Christians at Stella Maris said they believed the pilgrims wanted to enter the church despite a prohibition in halacha, Jewish Orthodox law, against setting foot inside a non-Jewish house of worship. Several interviewees cited this as cause for their suspicion that the pilgrimages are about dominance rather than worship.This was fueled by the actions of two pilgrims who earlier this month were filmed knocking on the church’s doors, apparently in a bid to enter. Several Breslovers said those pilgrims were indeed in violation of halacha. “The rabbinic authorities of our generation have spoken out against entering a non-Jewish house of worship and so we oppose this,” said Menachem Malka, a Breslov follower.Benjamin Israel, the pilgrim, said that Breslovers are seeking “no change to the status quo” at Stella Maris. “We don’t want to enter, we don’t want a seating area, we don’t need water and refreshments, just let us stand and pray sometimes outside the church on public ground. Is that too much to ask?” he demanded. Police’s failure to allow prayers by Jews outside the church was “discrimination against Haredim and a violation of basic freedom of worship,” Israel said.Asked how come Breslovers began frequenting the site only in recent months, he replied: “Because you can’t see the actual burial place, it’s a less obvious choice than other gravesites. But it’s in the literature and we’re getting around to it now. We’re not going away.”Sitting on a folding chair outside the church, Hanna Suheila, an 82-year-old regular worshiper at Stella Maris, views the dispute as part of a Jewish attempt to dispossess Arabs in Haifa, which saw an exodus of Arab residents in 1948.Today, the predominantly Jewish city has about 285,000 residents, of whom about 35,000 are Arabs, who are divided more or less equally between Christians and Muslims.“They take everything — they dig under the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem looking for Jewish graves, but they found nothing,” said Suheila, offering a disputed but widely held understanding among Arabs of archaeological excavations and restoration works in Jerusalem’s Old City.“We love the Jews, they are our cousins,” said Suheila, who was seven when tens of thousands of Arabs, most of them Muslim, left Haifa as local Jews took it over from British Mandate authorities during the first phase of Israel’s Independence War. “But why do the Jews take the churches?” she demanded. “Why can’t we have this one place to ourselves?”

Two targeted in suspected antisemitic assaults in France, US-13-year-old boy wearing outwardly religious clothing is pushed against wall and threatened in Lyon; attacker pulls tzitzit, makes anti-Jewish remarks to Chabad man in San Diego-By Michael Horovitz-JUL 27,23 Today, 3:03 pm

Two Jewish people were assaulted in separate alleged antisemitic incidents in the United States and France this week.A 13-year-old boy wearing identifiable religious attire was pushed against a wall on the street by three assailants in Lyon on Monday evening, according to a local media report.The attackers threatened the victim with death if he reported the incident to police, the report said.The victim was not injured in the attack and filed a police complaint. The authorities have opened an investigation into “aggravated violence due to religious affiliation.”In San Diego, a 65-year-old member of the community at the Chabad House at San Diego State University was assaulted outside a 7-Eleven store near the campus, according to the organization.In a statement, Chabad SDSU director Rabbi Chalom Boudjnah said the assailant pulled off the victim’s tzitzit — the Jewish ritual fringes — and made antisemitic and anti-Israel comments toward him.Police said the man was not injured, and that they were probing the attack.In March, a large menorah at the front of the Chabad House was vandalized, with its base and one of its arms broken off, causing it to fall over.“These acts of hatred only make our commitment to rebuild our menorah even stronger, in a much sturdier and more beautiful way,” Boudjnah said in his statement, adding it will be completed later this month.“We will not be deterred or scared. We firmly believe that light fights darkness, and we stand committed to shine brighter in response to these acts,” he added, and urged anyone with information to come forward.The menorah was also damaged in 2017 when college students performed pull-ups on it. However, the incident was not believed to be linked to antisemitism.The Antisemitism Worldwide Report for 2022, published in April, documented a sharp rise in 2022 in the number of antisemitic incidents in the United States and other Western countries, alongside a decline in several other countries, including France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. It also found that Haredi Jews are the main victims of antisemitic assaults in the West.

Green groups gear up for fight as oil pipeline looks to pump up Eilat operations-Secretive state company said to be pressuring ministries, Prime Minister’s Office to more than double quota of crude that can be transferred via Red Sea terminal-By Sue Surkes Today, 8:08 am-JUL 27,23

Fourteen environmental and public health groups reactivated an emergency campaign Monday to battle a feared government decision to more than double the amount of oil that a state-owned pipeline company can bring through Israel.The move follows reports of significantly raised tanker activity at the Europe-Asia Pipeline Company’s port in the southern Israeli city of Eilat, indicating it may be nearing an annual two million ton (around 14.6 million barrel) cap on the quantity of crude that can be brought to Israel, if it has not already been breached.EAPC is reportedly pressuring government ministries and the Prime Minister’s Office to increase its quota to five million tons (36.65 million barrels).Yossi Shelley, the current director of the Prime Minister’s Office, was due to meet with the National Security Council earlier this month to discuss whether the ceiling should be raised, but the talks were pushed off due to a security incident that day and have not been rescheduled.EAPC often claims that its business is essential for Israel’s energy security. It told The Times of Israel this week that the oil unloaded at its ports was “mostly used by the Israeli energy economy.” In November 2021, EAPC’s chairman Erez Halfon told a Knesset committee that the Eilat port had “existential” importance for Israel. That claim was immediately rejected by the chief economist at the Energy Ministry’s oil administration.The company, whose operations are shrouded in secrecy due to previous connections with the Shah’s Iran, operates a network of terrestrial pipelines originally created to channel Gulf oil from Eilat, on the Red Sea, to Ashkelon on the Mediterranean, from where it could be loaded onto tankers bound for European markets. The pipes extend to Haifa in the north.In October 2020, just a month after Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signed normalization agreements, EAPC announced a deal with Red-Med, a consortium of Israeli and Emirati businesspeople, to transport Gulf oil via the Eilat-to-Ashkelon pipeline.The deal aroused opposition from environmental activists in Israel, not least because of fears that an ecological disaster could decimate the Red Sea’s renowned coral reefs and wipe out Eilat’s tourist and marine-based economy.EAPC has been implicated in several cases of environmental damage. In 2014, it caused the largest environmental disaster in Israel’s history when one of its pipelines ruptured, sending some 1.3 million gallons of crude oil into the Evrona Nature Reserve in southern IsraelGreen groups have photographed and collected data on every tanker that has docked in Eilat.Combining these photographs with open data from the MarineTraffic website and Knesset documents, the daily Haaretz newspaper reported on July 13 that the number of tankers filling up with oil in the Red Sea port had risen from five in 2020 to 10 in 2021 and 11 in 2022. Seven tankers docked at the port over the first half of this year alone.Each tanker can hold around 300,000 tons (2.2 million barrels), said Mor Gilboa, Director-General of Zalul. “We think EAPC has exceeded the two million tons. The eighth tanker will definitely exceed it.”In a series of articles published between March and July, the investigative website Shakuf reported that since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, at least 29 ships had sailed from six ports in Russia to Haifa, where oil refineries are located, and Ashkelon, where EAPC operates a terminal. The ships were carrying oil, coal for the Orot Rabin power station in Hadera and chemicals.The ships reached Israel by traversing the Bosphorus Straits and the Dardanelles in Turkey to reach the Mediterranean.Though the pipeline was initially meant to transport Gulf oil to Europe, according to Shakuf, ships arriving empty in Eilat are being loaded with oil bound for China, after apparently having been piped from Ashkelon.Investigative journalist Dror Gurney said the number of tankers docking in Israel could be higher, given evidence suggesting that some ships had turned off their Automatic Identification Systems in the Red Sea, arriving in Eilat without any official registration, but identified and photographed by green activists.The KITSOS oil tanker photographed by Zalul in Eilat where it docked from May 28 to 30, 2023. According to the Shakuf investigative journalism site, this vessel turned off her positioning system off the coast of Sharm el-Sheikh in Sinai, when her tank was empty.-Turning off a transponder is a tactic often employed by smugglers or shippers seeking to evade sanctions.The Foreign Affairs and Energy ministries told Shakuf that the Israeli government had made it clear that Israel would not become a “bypass route” for Russians seeking a way around American sanctions. The US Embassy told the site that it “worked closely” with Israel on the sanctions against Russia and would continue to do so.EAPC is operated by the Finance Ministry, although the Transportation Ministry’s Shipping Authority supervises the terminals.The Environmental Protection Ministry is responsible for providing a toxic materials permit.In September 2021, after EAPC had submitted what the Environment Ministry regarded as deficient environmental risk surveys, the ministry told the company it was limiting the amount of oil that could be brought in annually to two million tons.It said it opposed taking on additional risks posed by expanding EAPC activity at the port and also capped the number of tankers that could dock at the terminal to six per year, but EAPC successfully torpedoed that rule as part of an agreement reached in court this year.The company unsuccessfully lobbied the previous government to overrule the ministry cap on the two million tons, and efforts to get a court to intervene also fell short, but EAPC has continued to pressure the government to raise the oil quantity ceiling.Approached by The Times of Israel, EAPC accused former Environmental Protection minister Tamar Zandberg of introducing the restrictions “without any reasonable and in-depth professional examination.”It noted that it was controlled and overseen by the government and described its activity as “essential to the Israeli energy economy and its continuous functioning.”EAPC had initially requested permission to pump some 14 million tons (102.6 million barrels) of Gulf crude to fulfill the UAE deal.The Environmental Protection Ministry said on Monday that its policy had not changed. It added that EAPC had not exceeded the two million ton crude cap.The Energy Ministry told The Times of Israel that the Finance and Environmental Protection ministries were charged with overseeing EAPC oil shipments. “We are sure that the balance of these important interests will lead to a resolution of this issue soon,” it said.The Finance Ministry said it would not comment.

Analysis-Government ignores stark warnings, as IDF faces unprecedented threat to readiness-The judicial overhaul is being advanced despite numerous appeals to the coalition, while the military chief attempts to convince protesting reservists to show up anyway
Emanuel Fabian-By Emanuel Fabian Today, 6:13 pm-JUL 27,23

The Israel Defense Forces claims to be facing an imminent and unprecedented threat to its combat readiness and the unity of its ranks, with thousands of reservists, many in key positions, threatening to end their volunteer duty in protest of the government advancing its controversial plans to overhaul the judicial system. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition appears to be brushing aside numerous warnings by military officials, both publicly and in private meetings.For several weeks, as the government advanced the first major bill of its judicial overhaul, more than 10,000 reservists who frequently show up for duty on a voluntary basis said they would no longer do so. The reservists have warned they will not be able to serve in an undemocratic Israel, which some charge the country will become if the government’s overhaul plans are realized.IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi has been attempting, largely unsuccessfully, to convince the political echelon to slow the legislation down, as well as convince reservists to walk back their threats.Amid those threats, the IDF has been frequently updating Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on the military’s readiness, via their respective military secretaries. Halevi met personally with Netanyahu on Monday, after the Knesset gave its final approval to a law that prevents courts from reviewing the “reasonableness” of government and ministerial decisions. A day before the vote on the bill, Halevi issued Netanyahu a “detailed position paper” on the threat to the IDF’s readiness. And shortly before the vote, updated statistics on the protesting reservists were handed to the prime minister, while two senior officers briefed several senior ministers in a last-ditch effort to convince them to halt the legislation.Halevi has also spoken about the threat to the cohesion of the military on multiple occasions, including at military ceremonies, at a Knesset committee meeting, in a written missive to troops, and most recently in a rare video message.The IDF relies heavily on volunteering reservists, especially pilots, for its routine activities. Unlike most reservists who are called up for duty with a formal order for several days a year, pilots and other special forces are expected to train and carry out missions more frequently and in a voluntary manner due to the nature of their positions. Defense officials have said pilots could harm their competency by taking breaks from their frequent training exercises, and it would take a significant amount of time to restore their flying abilities. The IAF and other top units also rely on veterans to volunteer and train the newer generation with their expertise.After the controversial “reasonableness” bill passed, at least 830 IAF reservists, including 260 pilots, notified their commanders that they would no longer show up for volunteer duty. Their announcement sent shockwaves through the military, which will likely have to adapt its operations to the prospect of many experienced pilots losing their flight capabilities within weeks, possibly permanently.The IDF may soon have to increase its reliance on less-experienced pilots for its sensitive surveillance missions across the Middle East, regular bombing runs against Iranian entrancement efforts in Syria, and preparations for a potential strike against Iran’s nuclear sites, as well as less-experienced training staff to teach the next generation of pilots. Other top units, too, will need to rely on less-experienced troops to carry out sensitive missions.Halevi attempted to bring the protesting reservists back before it is too late, saying in Tuesday’s video statement: “Even those who made a decision with a heavy heart not to report for duty, the IDF needs you.”The government has indicated it has no intention of slowing down the legislation despite the reservists’ protests. Members of Netanyahu’s coalition have said they cannot under any circumstances succumb to what they say is blackmail by members of the military, which they warn could create a dangerous precedent.Gallant, who is well versed on the threat to the military, has said that it is ”best that I stay at the wheel,” after voting in favor of the first overhaul bill. Gallant in late March publicly warned that the rift over the overhaul was causing divides in the military that posed a tangible threat to Israeli security. In response to that warning, Netanyahu ordered Gallant’s dismissal, a move that sparked intensified national protests, in turn leading Netanyahu to temporarily suspend the legislation for three months and reinstate Gallant.The IDF in the coming weeks will continue to try to convince reservists to show up for volunteer duty, with hopes that its warnings to Netanyahu and other ministers will cause the government to change course on the overhaul. Should the reservists’ threats expand further, with the judicial overhaul advanced, the IDF will likely eventually have no choice but to declare to the political echelon that it is less capable of carrying out certain missions.But just as worryingly for the military is the long-term damage to the unity of the IDF, with the spread of the anti-judicial overhaul protests to members of the standing army. The IDF also fears that some young Israelis may attempt to refuse to draft altogether in protest.The IDF says that with hundreds of experienced pilots and thousands of other key reservists gone, harm to its “competence,” or readiness, may be felt within weeks, forcing it to adjust its long-term planning in an attempt to remain battle-ready. But the damage to the cohesion of the military is already being felt, according to IDF officials, and may take years to repair.

Moody’s ‘wake-up call’: Tel Aviv Stock Exchange head warns of looming financial crisis-In direct appeal, TASE CEO Ittai Ben-Zeev urges prime minister and finance minister not to dismiss credit-rating agency’s warnings and seek to regain trust to avert a downgrade-By Sharon Wrobel 26 July 2023, 10:17 pm

In a strongly worded appeal, the head of Israel’s stock exchange urged the government on Wednesday to come to its senses or else face a downgrade of the country’s economy by credit-rating agencies and a financial crisis.A day after Moody’s Investors Service warned about “negative consequences” and “significant risk” for Israel’s economy following the passage of the first bill of the government’s contested judicial overhaul, Ittai Ben-Zeev, the chief executive of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, issued a direct plea to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.“Talk to Moody’s and other international credit rating companies and do what is necessary to prevent a downgrade that would be destructive to everything that has been built here with great effort and talent for many years,” Ben-Zeev said in a statement. “No plan to strengthen the Israeli economy will help, if the rating goes down.”“If there is no change soon, unfortunately we will get there with all that it implies,” he warned.Global credit-rating agencies have until now held off downgrades as the Israeli government led by Netanyahu has expressed that it would make every effort to reach a broad agreement or some form of consensus with the opposition and will not advance unilateral legislation on the judicial overhaul.Ben-Zeev’s appeal comes as lawmakers advancing the proposed changes to the country’s judicial system without broad consensus have been ignoring numerous warnings in recent months by credit-rating agencies, the Bank of Israel governor, world-leading economists and serial tech investors about the irreversible economic and social damage that is likely to be caused.In a joint statement, Netanyahu and Smotrich on Tuesday downplayed Moody’s report as a “momentary response,” after the coalition earlier this week passed its reasonableness limitation bill into law despite mass public protest, adding that when the “dust settles it will become clear that Israel’s economy is very strong.”In an attempt to calm the storm, Netanyahu and Smotrich said that Israel’s economy was performing well and will “continue to grow under experienced leadership that is enacting a responsible economic policy.”Against this, Ben-Zeev called the Moody’s report a “wake-up call” to the Israeli government that if it doesn’t get its act together soon to restore trust it will be facing a “UK-style financial crisis.”Back in April, Moody’s cut Israel’s credit outlook from “positive” to “stable,” citing a “deterioration of Israel’s governance” and upheaval over the government’s bid to dramatically overhaul the judiciary, while warning that the country’s credit rating could come “under downward pressure if the current tensions were to turn into a prolonged political and social crisis.”“We believe the wide-ranging nature of the government’s proposals could materially weaken the judiciary’s independence and disrupt effective checks and balances between the various branches of government, which are important aspects of strong institutions,” Moody’s said in Tuesday’s report. “The executive and legislative institutions have become less predictable and more willing to create significant risks to economic and social stability.”Additionally, Moody’s cautioned said that some of its earlier concerns regarding the proposed reforms’ impact on Israel’s economy are also starting to materialize, citing the slump in venture capital investments during the first half of the year since the judicial plan was presented and referencing to data that showed that 80% of new Israeli startups chose to register overseas during the same period.While Moody’s kept Israel’s favorable credit rating at A1 and projected economic growth of 3% in 2023 and 2024, the agency emphasized that the forecast “does not incorporate a negative effect from a prolonged period of social and political tensions.”“Moody’s is an objective and neutral international body that bluntly says that although our economy is strong, we as a country are on a slippery slope that will eventually cause significant economic damage to all citizens of the State of Israel,” Ben-Zeev stated. “This is a reflection of Israel’s economy in the eyes of the world, and we must not ignore it.”Also on Tuesday, US investment bank Morgan Stanley lowered Israel’s sovereign credit to a “dislike stance,” citing “increased uncertainty about the economic outlook in the coming months.”In a note, US bank Citi told institutional clients that the environment in Israel is “much more tricky and dangerous” after the government passed a bill blocking courts from exercising judicial review over the “reasonableness” of its decisions, counseling investors to hold off until the dust settles.Other credit rating agencies, including Standard & Poor’s, have been warning in recent months about a deterioration in Israel’s governance and the potential weakening of the country’s judiciary and institutional strength and raised concerns over heightened domestic social and political tensions.Political uncertainty around the government’s proposed judicial overhaul has seen the shekel already weakening by about 10% against the US dollar since it was first announced in January. As it’s becoming increasingly clear that the coalition is pushing ahead with the judicial overhaul despite mass protests and social tensions, Bank of Israel governor Amir Yaron warned earlier this month that further shekel depreciation, which translates into higher inflation, may result in higher borrowing costs hitting citizens directly in their pockets.Yaron said that the advancement of the legal changes has led to an increase in the level of uncertainty in the Israeli economy as reflected also in the underperformance of the Israeli stock market versus global markets in recent months.

Zengo extends FaceTec selfie biometrics checks to protect crypto transactions-Jul 27, 2023, 11:07 am EDT    | Chris Burt

A new biometric authentication feature has been added to cryptocurrency wallet Zengo in an expansion of its implementation of FaceTec software beyond the customer onboarding process.The change is part of a set of upgrades that also includes the introduction of a premium subscription called Zengo Pro, TechCrunch reports. With that subscription, Zengo users can set 3D face biometrics checks as an authentication method for outgoing transactions, to prevent a stolen phone from leading to stolen crypto.The wallet previously used native device biometrics for passwordless account access, but has now added user authentication in the form of server-side biometrics.“Cryptocurrencies and related services are increasingly viewed as an important part of the Financial Services Industry, which is a highly regulated industry,” FaceTec Senior Vice President of North American Operations Jay Meier told Biometric Update in an email. “As that, they are routinely targeted by bad actors, who wish to commit various identity related crimes. The value of utilizing FaceTec’s 3D Liveness and biometric matching, from customer enrollment, through to customer account access control, is the value of significantly mitigating the risks of those identity-crime vulnerabilities. Not only does this reduce the risk of fraud, but also the pressure of increasing regulatory scrutiny.”Zengo originally selected FaceTec’s facial recognition to secure identity verification for customer onboarding and lost key recovery in 2019.

Face biometrics, liveness capabilities launched by DocuSign, PresentID, Microsoft-IDScan.net integrated into super app-Jul 26, 2023, 5:13 pm EDT-| Joel R. McConvey

The business uses for biometric identity verification continue to diversify, with executives pushing at the edges of what ID tools can do.Among those launching verification products is DocuSign, the U.S. electronic signature and agreements management company. In a release, DocuSign said it has upgraded its Liveness Detection for ID Verification tool, which can now detect spoofing, “confirm signers are who they say they are, are physically present at signing and that their IDs are valid.”The software was developed with United Kingdom-based identity verification firm Onfido and compares video selfies to photo IDs.DocuSign has updated other services, too. It recently integrated its software products with Microsoft’s Open AI service, to create a document summary tool that identifies important parts of a contract or agreement, to make execution more efficient.Inhi Cho Suh, DocuSign’s president of product and technology, said, “We don’t believe in the false trade-off between either efficiency or risk. We are infusing our entire product suite with AI” to reduce friction with more reliable products.PresentID deploys dual biometric capabilities-In France, deep-tech cybersecurity firm PresentID says it’s integrating face liveness and voice biometrics into its remote identity verification software.A company release says that its software works for financial institutions, marketplaces, dating apps and other platforms.Worldwide Interactive enlists IDScan.net for super app-Milly, Worldwide Interactive Services’ mobile banking app will use IDScan.net’s identity verification platform for onboarding and account creation, according to a press release. Passports or driver’s licenses are checked against IDScan.net’s database. An optional tool adds selfie verification as an anti-spoofing safeguard.John Pantaleon, president of Worldwide Interactive Services, said the company chose IDScan.net based on the strength of its reputation and presence in the ID verification sector. “No other vendor provides the integration and reliability that IDScan.net is able to provide,” he said.Azure AI Face service boasts multiple use cases-A post on Microsoft’s documentation site outlines how its Azure AI Face provides face biometrics services and technologies across the verification industry.Azure AI Face performs ID-to-face matching for more efficient onboarding, verification and other identification processes. Its face detection API locates faces and analyzes landmarks and attributes, such as head position or the presence of jewelry or glasses. It also accounts for signal noise, occlusion and blur.The post specifies that “the values returned by the API for each attribute are predictions of the perceived attributes and are best used to make aggregated approximations of attribute representation rather than individual assessments.”

More reports that Hikvision, Nvidia still involved in China ethnic surveillance-Jul 26, 2023, 3:39 pm EDT    | Jim Nash

There is a new account about how China’s Hikvision biometric surveillance firm continues to specifically target that nation’s Uyghur population with Hikvision facial recognition systems using Nvidia chips.IPVM, a trade publication covering surveillance systems, says (subscription required and recommended) it has an 85-page signed $6 million contract for hardware and software to be deployed in Chengmai County, Hainan Province.Hikvision has claimed that any reference to or capability for monitoring Uyghurs in its software was stripped in 2018. Executives have previously said that they are not involved in the Uyghur-repression campaign.Nvidia claims it is not selling to China, and that the project could be using recycled chips. Executives also have said they are unaware of any third parties selling Nvidia chips to China.The contract indicates that what has been sold is a “standard configuration” of Hikvision’s DS-1F0100-AI analysis software, noting that the algorithm can differentiate Uyghurs specifically.IPVM has extensively investigated China’s blanket-like facial recognition networks nationwide, including sophisticated systems that monitor most aspects of the lives of Uyghurs, an ethnic and religious (Muslim) minority. Beijing has tried to erase them through mass imprisonment and repression.Long before 9/11, the nation’s autocratic government has viewed Uyghurs as a source of political instability.Other China vendors of surveillance systems, including Dahua, have been documented participating in Beijing’s anti-Uyghur campaign. The trade reportedly is global, however.Most of the effort to date has involved the building of large and remote prison campuses in remote Xinjiang Province, now reportedly filled mostly with Uyghurs and Tibetans.However, Hainan, where the new systems reportedly will be deployed, is 1,800 miles away from Xinjiang.

NIST discusses new section on VCs and mDLs, timeline for digital ID updates-Jul 26, 2023, 3:30 pm EDT    | Chris Burt

Digital identity guidelines from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology are changing, and the agency held an event this week to advance its dialogue with stakeholders from the public and private sector on what exactly they should be.In addition to reviewing the development of NIST’s updated Digital Identity Guidelines, officials summarized the feedback received during the comment period and provided details like the new target date for the final publication of the revisions.NIST received over 3,800 comments to its Revision 4 draft of the guidelines, and more than 130 responses, which Kevin Stone, chief of the applied cybersecurity division characterized as “the start of the discussion.” Just over two-third of those comments came from the private sector.David Temoshok noted that the initial comment period in 2020 provided feedback on the 2017 version of the guidelines, and recommendations on changes to include in the revisions. Discussions with industry and government agencies are ongoing, he says.The changes are generally intended to improve equitability, emphasize options and individual choice, deter phishing, fraud, and advanced threats, and include the experience of real-world implementations. They also highlight multi-disciplinary risk management processes and clarify a few points.Temoshok reviewed how NIST handles the comments it receives, and arranges them to inform changes to the text.The greatest volume of comments, by far, were for NIST SP 800-63A, so the likely next stage for that document is a second public comment period. Same goes for the Base Volume. NIST plans to release a final version of the SP 800-63B revision next, while the next step for SP 800-63C is yet to be decided.“There weren’t a lot of changes in volume B to start off with,” Temoshok explains.For volume C, NIST specifically wanted to know if the implementation of Verifiable Credentials and mobile driver’s licenses were adequately dealt with. The overwhelming answer was “no,” leading to the creation of a new section.NIST intends to make publication decisions by the end of this year, and release the new versions in the second quarter of calendar 2024.

Indian district rolls out live facial recognition to fight crime wave-Jul 26, 2023, 11:55 am EDT-| Masha Borak

A district in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh is rolling out a crime-fighting search engine powered by live facial recognition called the Geospatial Data Intelligence Platform (GDIP).The police in Gautam Buddha Nagar district, which is part of the Delhi National Capital Region, are hoping that the new technology will help stem the city’s crime wave: Kidnapping has gone up by more than 70 percent in the last two years, according to police data.The Geospatial Data Intelligence Platform (GDIP) integrates crime and policing data from different agencies, allowing investigators to access records and map crime hotspots, police commissioner Laxmi Singh told The Hindustan Times. The implementation will commence next week and will be followed by the incorporation of a facial recognition system. The system will search in real-time for matches to a database with an estimated 25,000 mugshots and photographs of convicted and undertrial prisoners.“We are planning to integrate this data with the GDIP,” says Singh. “Next, we will link the 4,000 CCTV cameras under the Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS) with the GDIP. This will help the police catch a criminal or a repeat offender whenever and wherever he or she is spotted in public.”Warnings over Indian police use of AI-The Geospatial Data Intelligence Platform (GDIP) is the latest project in India that applies AI to crime-busting, including facial recognition. In 2020, the country passed a controversial bill granting police officers the power to collect biometric information of convicts and criminal suspects and authorized a rollout of automated biometric facial recognition in police investigations. But integrating AI applications in policing, particularly non-investigatory facial recognition, has not been without criticism.Shruti Mantri, associate director at the Institute of Data Sciences of Hyderabad’s Indian School of Business, welcomed the integration of AI in combating crime but also warned that law enforcement agencies should minimize the harms of the technology.“As the capabilities of artificial intelligence continue to grow, without a certain level of trust and acceptance, police services cannot utilize AI to its full potential in policing,” Matri writes in an opinion piece for Forbes India published on Monday.AI models learn from vast amounts of data that can take on certain human values and could result in biases and subjectivity. As AI systems rely more on machine learning and deep learning models, potentially becoming more autonomous, its use also raises the question of accountability for incorrect outcomes that could affect people’s lives, says Matri:“Whether it is used for IOT devices such as sensors, CCTVs, and so on for digital contract tracing, it is essential to be sensitive to how people feel about data collection and data use.”

Grace period but no extension for linking SIMs to digital ID in Philippines-Jul 26, 2023, 11:17 am EDT-| Chris Burt

SIMs not yet registration in the Philippines are expected to be deactivated, with Tuesday’s deadline to link mobile accounts to the national digital ID passing and no extension granted, reports Inquirer.The country’s National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) says that 105.9 million mobile subscribers, representing 63 percent of all active mobile phone numbers, have been registered. The NTC had set a goal of registering between 100 million and 110 million SIMs by the deadline.Reports earlier this year indicated nearly 169 million active SIMs in the country, and a slower than hoped for pace to their linkage with the PhilID digital ID prompted a registration extension.A statement from the NTC, however, says that the country’s telecoms have said “that almost all of their SIMs with active users have already registered.” The agency said it would deactivate unregistered SIMs at midnight on Tuesday, and make the move permanent on July 31. In the interim, however, SIMs can be reactivated or registered, according to the statement.The NTC said it will not grant an extension, but rather that people have a 5-day grace period to connect their PhilID and SIM, Panay News reports. During that time, incoming SMS functionality is maintained so users can receive a one-time password during registration.Those whose SIMs are fully deactivated will have to purchase a new one to receive mobile telecommunication services, and register their PhilID at that point.

Australia could finalize digital ID legislation by mid-2024, but long road still ahead-Jul 26, 2023, 11:01 am EDT-| Masha Borak

After years of delays and reorganizations, Australia’s national digital identity system may be on the horizon.The country’s Finance Minister Katy Gallagher said on Tuesday that the legislation for the federally-backed digital ID could be in place by mid-2024. Once the legislation is in place, the technology is largely ready to get the system running, Gallager told The Australian Financial Review (AFR).“If all things line up, and we’re able to move pretty swiftly, we could have legislation in place mid-year next year. That’s a pretty tight timeframe, so I don’t want to be held to that, but that is kind of my road map,” she says.The Minister also said that the government has received cabinet approval for the next stage, the exposure draft, which will hopefully be finalized by September. The digital ID would initially be regulated by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and later by a specific digital regulator.The digital ID, which aims to eliminate separate log-ins for different government services, has received increased attention after last year’s massive data breach into telecommunications company Optus and Medibank, Australia’s largest private health insurer.The ID program, which has spent over AU$600 million (roughly US$404 million) so far, came under the control of the Department of Finance in July this year. Australia’s federal government also released a National Strategy for Identity Resilience in June which proposes increasing the use of biometrics for higher security.The challenges: Conspiracy theories, interoperability and local government pushbackDespite the progress, Gallagher also warned that the digital ID will still have to face pushback from certain sections of the public which are wary of the government. Conspiracy theories will need to be fended off with clear communication, she says.Another obstacle would be integrating other Australian digital ID schemes into an interoperable ecosystem.“We want to see an economy-wide system, and in a sense, we’ve got that operating now, without regulation. We’ve got some private digital ID providers and then you’ve got myGov,” Gallagher says.Australia’s myGov app offers access to federal services. Confusingly, the Australian Tax Office also runs an app called myGovID. Mastercard, Australia Post and Australian Payments Plus have also developed identity verification solutions that could hook into a national ID system. In May this year, the state of New South Wales launched a beta version of its own system called NSW Digital ID alongside several pilots.This week, former New South Wales digital government minister Victor Dominello told AFR that a simple and seamless experience in online interaction with the government still has a long way to go, including with the NSW Digital ID. Dominello, who also leads the digital identity think tank Trustworthy Digital Society Hub, said that managing health services in particular is “a mess.”“I ran out of runway to try to tackle it, but it needs a concerted effort … because if you want real productivity gains, that’s where we need to play,” he says.The Australian government will also have to contend with resistance from its own ranks. Finance Minister Gallagher has expressed hope that the new digital ID system will have bipartisan support.Centralizing Australia’s digital ID efforts has attempted derailments in the past leading to years of delays. The Digital Transformation Agency (DTA), which was tasked with handling these efforts in 2015, has faced deep resistance from other agencies, writes The Mandarin.Disagreement over the scope of the digital ID scheme still persists. Chris McLaren, chief customer and digital officer in the state of Queensland, argued this week that an overreaching ID controlled by the Commonwealth is not the right answer. Instead, “anybody should be able to present themselves with an identity of their choice,” McLaren told AFR.

Facing new ID security challenges, orgs bring on fresh faces-Jul 26, 2023, 10:13 am EDT-| Joel R. McConvey

In Spain, Veridas, which specializes in digital ID and biometrics, has named Kevin Vreeland as the new general manager for North America.Headquartered in Navarre, Veridas wants to deepen its anchor in North America and capitalize on a recent National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) evaluation placing it number two in face and voice authentication worldwide. In Vreeland, they get a sales and development veteran with three decades of experience, most recently as vice president of world sales for Acuant.“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to build Veridas’ position as a Gen-2 identity company,” says Vreeland in a written statement. “Its 100 percent proprietary technology gives us an edge in the competitive U.S. market. I firmly believe our advanced identity verification solutions will revolutionize how businesses operate.”Aviation security expert lands at Alcatraz AI-Faith Varwig has joined the advisory board of Alcatraz AI, in Cupertino, Calif., which specializes in autonomous access control. Through her engineering and consulting firm, Faith Group, Varwig has a deep resume that includes work on aviation security mandates, research guides and international steering committees.In a release, Tina D’Agostin, CEO of Alcatraz AI, says Varwig’s “insights and expertise will assist us in continuing to shape our roadmap in the development of cutting-edge access control solutions tailored to the unique needs of airports worldwide.” Adds Varwig, “I am excited to be a part of Alcatraz AI’s advisory board and support their ground-breaking efforts in transforming access control systems with facial authentication.”ITRC secures Socure exec for board-The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) has brought on Jordan Burris, who handles public sector strategy and development for Socure.“Jordan is an industry leader with deep knowledge around identity verification and fraud risk management,” says Eva Velasquez, president and CEO of ITRC, in a release. “Jordan’s expertise is just what we need to continue to offer advice to victims, organizations and policymakers based on real-world, real-time experiences.”Burris’s mission aligns with the social aspect of his previous work in digital identity inclusion and fairness. “Digital identity verification must be intersectional and work for everyone who chooses to engage in the process,” he says. “Across government and commercial sectors, digital services are under constant attack from cybercriminals, nation-state attackers and fraudsters. Meanwhile, people that are victims of identity theft struggle to access the services they need to operate in society.”The ITRC is a U.S. non-profit established in 1999 to support victims of identity crime.

Worldcoin cryptocurrency drives digital ID enrollment despite ‘potential privacy nightmare’Jul 26, 2023, 2:12 pm EDT-| Masha Borak

After launching its cryptocurrency on Monday, Worldcoin users across the world have been lining up to get their irises scanned and digital IDs created in exchange for free tokens.The company has been seen scanning eyeballs through its Orb devices in Britain, Japan, India and other countries, despite warnings from digital rights organizations that its data collection presents a “potential privacy nightmare,” Reuters reports.Worldcoin, founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, is on a mission to enroll each human into its World ID digital identity and give them some of its cryptocurrency. The iris scans are used during enrollment to confirm that the user is indeed human while remaining anonymized. Worldcoin says it has issued digital IDs for more than two million people in 120 countries with its Orbs currently operating in over 35 cities across more than 20 countries.The company will reportedly hand out 25 Worldcoin tokens to verified users which are currently valued at $0.0186, according to CoinMarketCap. But privacy organizations such as the U.S.-based Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) are arguing that despite receiving free tokens, users are paying a high price for the potential risks of hacking and exploiting their biometric data.“Mass collections of biometrics like Worldcoin threaten people’s privacy on a grand scale, both if the company misuses the information it collects, and if that data is stolen,” says EPIC counsel Jake Wiener. “Ultimately, Worldcoin wants to become the default digital ID and a global currency without democratic buy-in at the start, that alone is a compelling reason not to turn over your biometrics, personal information and geolocation data to a private company.”But Worldcoin says it does not have a mass collection of biometrics from everyone who has used the Orb.UK privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch has also criticized the project, with senior advocacy officer Madeleine Stone arguing that digital ID systems “increase state and corporate control over individuals’ lives.”Worldcoin claims that the images of the user and their iris pattern are permanently deleted after signing up, unless users opt-in to allow them to be stored in the system as training data. The training data is not connected to Worldcoin tokens, transactions or World ID, the company says.Worldcoin Co-founder Alex Blania explained to CoinDesk that the company set out to find a way other than using iris biometrics to verify each person’s uniqueness and humanity. “But it really was the only solution,” he says.Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin has assessed the project as doing “quite a decent job of protecting privacy,” but raises concerns about centralized control.The project is also drawing attention from regulators such as the UK Information Commissioner Office which promised it will be making further inquiries into Woldcoin’s launch in the country, Reuters reports in another article. Worldcoin has emphasized that its tokens will not be made available in the U.S. citing regulatory uncertainty.The company behind the project, Tools For Humanity raised $115 million in series C venture funding in May.

DOJ plans modernization of biometric service for criminal, civil checks-Jul 27, 2023, 1:11 pm EDT-| Beverly Crawford-Westre

The Department of Justice’s Office of the Chief Information Officer is planning to replace the Joint Automated Booking System (JABS) and Civil Applicant System (CAS) with a single, new contractor-owned/contractor-operated managed service for CJIS Next Generation Identification (NGI) biometric functionality. This new service, called the Justice Biometric Identity Service (JBIS), will provide modern, scalable, and extensible web, mobile and cloud technologies for its existing and future customer agencies at reduced costs.The current JABS/CAS program, established in 1999, is one of the oldest existing shared enterprise IT systems at the DOJ, supporting both criminal identification and civil background checks, and many other law enforcement capabilities. The JABS system processes criminal transactions, while the CAS system processes civil transactions. Together, the JABS/CAS systems support approximately 6,000 users from over 400 agencies. These users process over 400,000 transactions per year using approximately 1,000 biometric workstations. Both JABS and CAS systems are at the end of their technological lifecycle and do not meet users’ needs.In preparation for the modernization of the JABS/CAS systems, the DOJ Executive Advisory Board for CJIS Services, and its NGI Service Delivery Working Group performed initial market research on leading vendors, solutions, and service providers. This research revealed that the industry is shifting away from custom-built systems and on-prem hosted commercial off-the-shelf systems and is instead opting for cloud-based managed biometric services, using leading vendors. These vendors offer the latest industry features, high levels of support and maintenance, and cost savings through economies of scale, according to the analysis.Based on research findings, the DOJ plans to replace JABS and CAS with JBIS, a new single, integrated solution. Leveraging the economy of scale available to State CSAs that have adopted this model, JBIS will use a commercial service provider to deliver NGI biometric functionality using the latest technologies to provide a platform that delivers all NGI capabilities in a FISMA Moderate compliant cloud environment. JBIS will also be tailored to meet the unique requirements of the DOJ CSA and its user agencies.To identify any small business vendors that currently provide a service that could be used to replace the existing JABS and CAS systems (including all components – back-end services, client biometric data capture software, etc.) the DOJ Justice Management Division is conducting research through a Request for Information (RFI) process. The DOJ would like to receive answers to questions posed in the RFI that will help in determining if existing services are available to the DOJ. All questions must be submitted on or before Wednesday, August 19, 2023, at 10:00 AM

Historic penalty decision in BIPA case shows the need to take biometric privacy seriously-Jul 27, 2023, 12:54 pm EDT-| Jim Nash

Biometrics in one U.S. jurisdiction is now officially a live electrical wire dancing on the ground, ready to shock the unwary, and there appears to be no shortage of unwary companies in the state of Illinois.The Illinois Supreme Court last week declined to revisit a previous decision that a company can be held liable for every biometric scan it conducts on anyone without their consent or without advising the subject how the data collected will be managed.The state’s Biometric Information Privacy Act, passed in 2008, mandates that businesses wanting to use the biometrics of Illinois residents take special care of the data, which is a person’s only irreplaceable identifiers.Companies globally profit from the identifiers without consent or compensation. And biometrics have been stolen, causing unmeasurable damage to individuals who are victimized. The courts have not been kind to some of these businesses.The latest decision (No. 128004), in Cothron v. White Castle System could, as the defendant has warned, force a business out of business under the weight of the collective penalties. A judge had previously sided with the plaintiffs, but that decision was appealed to the state supreme court.White Castle can appeal the decision no further because the United States Supreme Court doesn’t weigh in on state constitutional issues. There is some momentum behind an effort to defang BIPA with new legislation, but it is not clear how it would impact White Castle and other companies that have run afoul of the law.The justices in the minority excoriated the majority, according to reporting by legal trade publication The National Law Review. There is no evidence that legislators approving BIPA wanted to create existential punishment for companies found guilty of violating the law.Cothron v. White Castle bears on another significant BIPA case – Rogers v. BNSF Railway — that seemingly was already decided.The judge last fall awarded $228 million in a class action. A truck driver sued the rail firm for taking his biometrics every time he drove onto the company’s property.The plaintiffs say that the White Castle award means they should get more compensation because their award was figured per driver, not per scan.The defendant had previously said it wants the penalty reduced because it was treated as being mandated and not discretionary.As noted, there appear to be no shortage of unwary companies in Illinois when it comes to BIPA, and an analysis of privacy developments points to health care companies that have using Meta Platform’s Pixel software feature to collect information from people traversing their sites.Whether Pixel is a new avenue for BIPA plaintiffs is not clear, but in reporting on people who claim their medical data was collected and shared, an article in the legal trade journal Law360 again makes the case – perhaps unwittingly — that some personal information, once out of a person’s control is forever available for others’ use.

Benin issues digital IDs to citizens living abroad-Jul 27, 2023, 11:29 am EDT-| Ayang Macdonald

Benin’s National Agency for the Identification of Persons (ANIP) has dispatched teams to fifteen countries around the world to assign national ID numbers to Beninese living abroad.The activity, which is already underway, seeks to include the said citizens in the National Register of Natural Persons (RNPP), the country’s main citizen registration database, according to a statement published on the government’s website.Citizens who obtain the personal ID number will be eligible to receive what ANIP calls “Le Certificat NPI/fID”, a secure document which attests that a person has been issued the personal ID number.The move to assign personal ID numbers to Beninese out of the country will also enable them to receive a biometric identity card and give them access to certain services from their government in Cotonou, the administrative capital. Such services are likely to include applications for passport renewal or issuance.The measure, officials say, is also in line with the country’s National Strategy for the Identification of Persons (SNIP), which enjoys the support of the West Africa Unique Identification for Regional Integration and Inclusion program (WURI).Apart from enrolling the diaspora residents into the RNPP database, ANIP says the teams will also set up a system for the automatic transfer of data of citizens who have been registered, process the data collected from registrants before adding such data to the RNPP database, issue the “Certificat NPI/fID” to all those who have been assigned personal ID numbers, and then facilitate the citizens’ access to services of basic necessity.The government says each of the teams is expected to register at least 60 persons per day throughout the campaign, and a total of 6, 600 enrollments are expected to be done before the exercise ends. It is not clear when it will.A delegation from Benin was among five others from the WURI region that made a recent trip to the Philippines to share experiences and learn best practices on the successful implementation of digital ID projects.

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.

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 FLESH)
23  Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

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.

Russian fighter jet again strikes US drone over Syria in 6th incident this month-Experts suggest Moscow is conducting the harassing attacks to support Iran’s goal of ousting US forces from Syria, easing its ability to provide lethal aid to Hezbollah-By TARA COPP and Lolita C. Baldor-JUL 27,23-Today, 12:36 pm

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Russian fighter jet fired flares and struck another US drone over Syrian airspace on Wednesday, the White House said, in a continued string of harassing maneuvers that have ratcheted up tensions between the global powers.It’s the sixth reported incident this month, and the second in the past 24 hours, in which the United States has said Russian warplanes have flown dangerously close to American manned and unmanned aircraft, putting crews and the planes at risk and raising questions as to what the US may need to do in response.Two US officials confirmed that the strike damaged the MQ-9 Reaper drone. The officials were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.“We’ve seen the reports, the early reports, of a second Russian fighter aircraft this week flying dangerously close to our drone” on a mission to counter Islamic State militants in Syria, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. She did not provide other details, but said Russia’s “close approach to and deployment of flares over US drones during a routine mission” violates international norms.In the incidents over the past two days, Russian warplanes have fired flares that struck US MQ-9 Reaper drones. On Tuesday, the flares damaged a drone’s propeller; on Wednesday, Russian-dropped flares hit a drone. In previous incidents, Russian jets have intercepted US planes at dangerously close distances, including one instance with a manned aircraft that the US said put the lives of the four American crewmembers at risk.A senior Russian military leader blamed the US for the latest incident, and charged that aircraft from the US-led coalition in Syria violated deconfliction protocols with Russia 10 times in the past 24 hours.Rear Adm. Oleg Gurinov, the head of the Russian military’s Reconciliation Center in Syria, said that the US drone flew dangerously close to a pair of Russian warplanes in the skies over Syria early Wednesday. Gurinov said that onboard systems of the Russian Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft spotted the aircraft being targeted and triggered the automatic release of flares.“The United States are continuing to disinform the public about unlawful flights of its drones in the Syrian air space that have failed to undergo deconflicting procedure while accusing the Russian side of dangerous maneuvering,” Gurinov said in a statement carried by the Interfax news agency.He also said the US drone involved in the Tuesday encounter was not cleared through deconfliction procedures and was “entirely provocative.” He said Russian pilots “showed a high degree of professionalism and took timely steps to avoid a collision with the drone.”US and Russian military commanders routinely communicate over a deconfliction phone line that has been in place for several years to avoid unintended clashes in Syria. There are often many calls a day, and at times result in angry threats as commanders argue over an ongoing operation, according to a senior US official.Experts say Russia is likely conducting the harassing attacks to support Iran’s goal of ousting US forces from Syria, with a senior US defense official saying Iran wants to be able to more easily move lethal aid to Lebanese Hezbollah and threaten Israel. Russia relies on Iran’s support for the Kremlin’s war operations in Ukraine.Toward that end, the US has seen more cooperation, collaboration, planning and intelligence sharing, largely between mid-level Russian and Iranian Quds force leaders in Syria, said the senior US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing military missions.John Hardie, director of the Russia program for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said the intercepts are part of a coordinated effort by Russia and Iran “to try to push the US out of Syria, just kind of build pressure over time, in the hopes that Washington will eventually withdraw.”But the intercepts raise questions as to how the US will respond and whether the risk of a larger confrontation is increasing.“It doesn’t seem like the Russians really want a direct, hot confrontation, but things that are sort of below that threshold, like messing with our drones, is right up their alley,” Hardie said.He suggested that one option may be similar to how the US responded after a Black Sea incident near Crimea, where a Russian jet collided with a US drone. The US relocated its patrols to avoid getting into a direct conflict.Both the US and Russia are conducting missions in Syria. Russia backs the government of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. The US is working with the Kurdish-backed Syrian Democratic Forces in operations against IS extremists. The SDF is in a civil war with Assad.

Palestinian group claims to fire rocket from Jenin area at northern Israel town-Footage shows projectile fired from northern West Bank; IDF says remains found near Palestinian town-By Emanuel Fabian Today, 12:02-JUL 27,23-pmUpdated at 3:45 pm

Palestinians in the northern West Bank attempted to launch a homemade rocket at a nearby Israeli town on Thursday morning, the military said, the latest in a series of mostly unsuccessful attempts.A group calling itself the Al-Ayyash Battalion — apparently named for a notorious Hamas bombmaker killed by Israel — claimed it had launched the rocket from the Jenin area at the Israeli town of Ram-On, which borders the West Bank security barrier.A video published by the group on Telegram showed a projectile mounted on a launcher, before it was apparently launched.The Israel Defense Forces said that troops located the remains of the rocket in Palestinian-controlled territory, near the town of Silat al-Harithiya, saying that it had not crossed the border into Israel.Army sappers safely removed the projectile, the IDF said.Al-Ayyash Battalion has claimed to have launched several rockets at settlements and towns in northern Israel in recent months, publishing footage of the attempts.The group’s rocket launching attempts have largely failed, with the rockets containing no explosives and flying distances of less than 100 meters (328 feet), according to the IDF.

Mutinous soldiers claim to overthrow Niger’s president in military coup-Military officer leading effort cites poor governance as reason for takeover; international community condemns act, while president’s office vows loyal forces will retaliate-By Agencies Today, 9:53 am-JUL 27,23

Soldiers claim to have overthrown Niger’s government following an apparent coup in the West African nation on Wednesday when members of the Presidential Guard detained Niger President Mohamed Bazoum.Members of the elite guard sealed off access to the president’s residence and offices in the capital Niamey, and after talks broke down, “refused to release” him, a presidential source said.The soldiers said “all institutions” in the country would be suspended, borders were closed and a curfew imposed “until further notice” from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. “We, the defense and security forces… have decided to put an end to the regime” of President Bazoum, Colonel Major Amadou Abdramane said in a televised address late Wednesday.“This follows the continued deterioration of the security situation, poor economic and social governance,” he added, surrounded by nine other uniformed soldiers.Regional and global leaders have called for the release of Bazoum, who entered office two years ago in Niger’s first peaceful transition of power since independence from France in 1960.The president of neighboring Benin, Patrice Talon, will head to Niamey for mediation efforts, the head of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) said.One of a dwindling group of pro-Western leaders in the Sahel, Bazoum was elected in April 2021, taking the helm of a country burdened by poverty and jihadist insurgencies.In a message on Twitter, which is being rebranded as X, the president’s office said “elements of the Presidential Guard (PG) had a fit of temper… [and] tried unsuccessfully to gain the support of the national armed forces and the national guard.”“The army and national guard are ready to attack the elements of the PG who are involved in this fit of temper if they do not return to a better disposition,” the presidency said.“The president and his family are well,” it added.Before the announcement, hundreds of people took to the streets of the capital, Niamey, and chanted “No coup d’etat” while marching in support of the president. Multiple rounds of gunfire that appeared to come from the presidential palace dispersed the demonstrators and sent people scrambling for cover, according to an Associated Press reporter at the scene.“We are here to show the people that we are not happy about this movement going on, just to show these military people that they can’t just take the power like this,” protester Mohammed Sidi said. “We are a democratic country, we support democracy and we don’t need this kind of movement.”One person was hurt, but it was not immediately clear if he was injured by a bullet or from falling as the crowd scattered.The parties of Niger’s ruling coalition in Niamey denounced “a suicidal and anti-republican madness” in a statement, saying that “certain elements of the presidential guard sequestered the President” and his family, as well as the interior minister.Condemnation also poured in from beyond the nation’s borders.ECOWAS and the African Union both decried what they called an “attempted coup d’etat.”ECOWAS called for Bazoum’s immediate and unconditional release and warned all those involved would be held responsible for his safety.The European Union said it “associates itself” with the ECOWAS statement and attacked “any attempt to destabilize democracy and threaten the stability” of Niger.US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he had spoken to Bazoum to offer Washington’s support, while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he “strongly condemns the unconstitutional change in government” in Niger.The foreign minister of Niger’s former colonial power France, Catherine Colonna, condemned “all attempts to take power by force.”Benin President Talon was expected to arrive in Niamey on Thursday, after a meeting in Abuja on Wednesday with Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.Tinubu said Talon would mediate with both the Presidential Guard and Bazoum, with a view to finding an agreement.“It should be quite clear to all players in the Republic of Niger that the leadership of the ECOWAS region and all lovers of democracy around the world will not tolerate any situation that incapacitates the democratically elected government of the country,” Tinubu said in a statement he issued in Abuja.“We will do everything within our powers to ensure democracy is firmly planted, nurtured, well rooted, and thrives in our region.”Coup-prone-The landlocked Sahel state has experienced four coups since its 1960 independence, and numerous other attempts.Bazoum, a former interior minister, was the right-hand man to former president Mahamadou Issoufou, who voluntarily stepped down after two terms.An attempted coup took place just days before Bazoum’s inauguration, according to a security source at the time.Several people were arrested, including the suspected ringleader. Five people were jailed in February for 20 years.A second bid to oust Bazoum occurred last March “while the president… was in Turkey,” according to a Niger official, who said an arrest was made. The authorities have never commented publicly on the incident.Poverty and jihadism-The nation of 22 million is two-thirds desert and frequently ranks at the bottom of the UN’s Human Development Index, a benchmark of prosperity.Niger is struggling with two jihadist campaigns — one in the southwest, which swept in from Mali in 2015, and the other in the southeast, involving jihadists from northeastern Nigeria.Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes, stoking a humanitarian crisis and further straining the economy.The poorly equipped military is receiving training and logistical support from the United States and France, which have bases there.

Hillel branch in Odesa ‘significantly damaged’ in Russian missile strike-No one in building at time of attack, which damaged office door, windows, brought down ceiling; Hillel chapter in Kharkiv was destroyed in shelling last year-By Andrew Lapin Today, 9:37 am-JUL 27,23

JTA — A Russian missile strike caused “significant damage” to Hillel International’s offices in Odesa, Ukraine on Sunday, the organization said.It was the second time a Hillel building in Ukraine was damaged by Russian fire since the start of the war last year. Its chapter in Kharkiv was destroyed by Russian shelling last year.The international Jewish life organization, which operates on college campuses and supports young adult non-students in some places, including Ukraine, shared news of the damage on social media Tuesday. It said the missile had destroyed the office’s door and windows, and that the ceiling collapsed, but that no one was in the building at the time.“I do hope we will be able to restore programs as soon as possible,” Osik Akselrud, director of Hillel’s Central Asia and Southeastern Europe regions, said in a statement. Hillel also shared a brief video appearing to show a construction crane already present on the scene working to repair the damage.One day before the bombing, Hillel Odesa shared photos of its recent Havdalah activity, a post-Shabbat celebration in which students imagined a “Jewish city of the future.”Hillel Kharkiv — which last year mourned the death in combat of a Ukrainian Jew who had been active there — has continued offering active programming in the past year and recently celebrated Lag b’Omer. Hillel operates several centers in Ukraine with the support of Jewish philanthropies including the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and Schusterman Family Philanthropies. It also operates in eight Russian cities.We are heartbroken to share that the offices of Hillel Odesa suffered significant damage caused by a Russian missile strike on Sunday.Thankfully there were no injuries.We are sending so much love to all those whose lives have been affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine. ???? pic.twitter.com/aGErBbtUWF— Hillel (@HillelIntl) July 25, 2023-Ukraine’s President Volodomyr Zelensky, who is Jewish, has at times used the threat of damage to Ukrainian Jewish sites to rally world Jews to the war effort. But as at other times when Jewish sites have suffered damage, the most recent bombardment in Odesa appeared to be indiscriminate and also damaged other Ukrainian historic sites.One person was killed during the most recent strike in the city, which before the Holocaust was one of the largest Jewish population centers in the world.

'Hamas, Islamic Jihad want to destroy West Bank, oust PA' Senior PA security official: Hamas, PIJ recruiting youth ‘with nothing to live for’Brigadier general says Palestinians being paid to target settlers and IDF; says he urged CIA to push Israel to combat settler violence, approve more permits in order to flip trend-By Jacob Magid Today, 7:06 pm-JUL 27,23

The Palestinian Authority faces an uphill battle in its attempt to curb terror in the West Bank, where Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have been recruiting impoverished youth to carry out attacks, a senior officer in the PA’s Preventive Security Service revealed in a meeting this week, a source with direct knowledge of the matter told The Times of Israel.Brigadier General Hassan Asfour, who serves as director of central operations in the Preventive Security Service, told members of the Palestinian diaspora in the US that the PA has intensified its arrests of Hamas and PIJ fighters in the West Bank in recent months.While interrogating those suspects, the Preventive Security Service learned that many of them are from the poorest segments of society with “no food to eat” and “nothing to live for,” Asfour said, according to the source, who requested that the exact time and location of the meeting in the US not be shared in order to protect his identity. Asfour held several recent meetings with Palestinian diaspora communities in Virginia and Chicago and posted pictures from the latter gathering on Sunday.The source said Asfour shared that the suspects arrested by the PA are often paid by Hamas and Islamic Jihad to carry out attacks against settlers and Israeli security forces. “Hamas and Jihad want to destroy the West Bank, and they don’t want the PA to be around,” said Asfur, whose Preventive Security Service is tasked largely with counter-terror operations targeting the two terror groups that are Ramallah’s main rivals in the territory.Such detailed comments about the PA’s efforts to combat terror and the deteriorating situation for Palestinians in the West Bank are not typically shared publicly by government officials. Even rarer are candid remarks by a member of the domestic intelligence service to Palestinian expatriates.Asfour said that in addition to being motivated by the money offered by terror groups, some of the suspects arrested by the PA confided with their interrogators that problems at home led them to participate in West Bank clashes.“Someone who gets into a fight with his lover, his sister or his mother then wants to take it out on a settler,” he said.Asfour told the group he was in the US for meetings and training at the Central Intelligence Agency in the Washington area, according to the source.Asfour urged his American counterparts to pressure Israel to combat rampant settler violence and approve more permits for Palestinians to work inside Israel so that the younger generation suffering under Israel’s military control of the West Bank can have more “to live for,” the source said.A spokesperson for the Preventive Security Service said Asfur did indeed meet with members of the Palestinian American community but denied the remarks attributed to him in this story. A CIA spokesperson declined to comment.The PA has slowly lost security control over areas of the northern West Bank amid allegations of corruption and its failure to reverse the expansion of Israel’s civilian and military control over the West Bank. Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other groups financed by Iran have sought to fill the vacuum and have been increasingly targeting settlers and army positions in recent months.An undated image of members of the Jenin Battalion, affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. (Telegram/used in accordance with Clause 27a of the Copyright Law)-In an effort to reverse the trend, PA President Mahmoud Abbas directed security forces earlier this month to operate against Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank, particularly in Jenin, where the IDF carried out an extensive counter-terror raid on July 3 and 4.While heavily criticizing Ramallah’s welfare system, which includes payments to imprisoned terrorists and their families, Israel has recognized that it prefers a functioning PA, given that it provides services to millions of Palestinians in the West Bank.Earlier this month, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hardline government passed a decision to take steps to prevent the cash-strapped PA’s collapse. However, the resolution did not include any tangible steps, which will likely be difficult to push through, given the support of many members of Netanyahu’s cabinet for annexing large parts of the West Bank and even dissolving the PA.Netanyahu himself reportedly said last month that Israel must “crush” Palestinian ambitions for statehood while clarifying that Israel still needs the PA, ostensibly as its security subcontractor.In an interview earlier this month, Netanyahu laid out a vision for a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which all Israeli settlements would be allowed to remain as enclaves under Israeli control, while Palestinians would receive a sub-sovereign state on the territory that remains, without security control, which would remain in Jerusalem’s hands.

Reuters-US intelligence report says China likely supplying tech for Russian military-The flags of the United States and China fly in Boston-THU, July 27, 2023 at 1:10 p.m. EDT-By Kanishka Singh and Michael Martina

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - China is helping Russia evade Western sanctions and likely providing Moscow with military and dual-use technology for use in Ukraine, according to an unclassified U.S. intelligence report released on Thursday.The assessment by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was published by the U.S. House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.China has repeatedly denied sending military equipment to Russia since Moscow's all-out invasion of Ukraine in February 2022."The PRC is providing some dual-use technology that Moscow's military uses to continue the war in Ukraine, despite an international cordon of sanctions and export controls," the ODNI report said."The customs records show PRC state-owned defense companies shipping navigation equipment, jamming technology, and fighter jet parts to sanctioned Russian Government-owned defense companies," the report said.It also said China has become "an even more critical partner" of Russia after Moscow invaded Ukraine last year.ODNI said China and Russia had increased the share of bilateral trade settled in China's yuan currency, and both countries' financial institutions are expanding their use of domestic payment systems.China has increased it importation of Russia energy exports, including oil and gas rerouted from Europe, the report said.ODNI cited much of the information to media reports. It added: "The Intelligence Community lacks sufficient reporting to assess whether Beijing is deliberately inhibiting United States Government export control end-use checks, including interviews and investigations, in the PRC."Earlier this month, French President Emmanuel Macron's top diplomatic adviser Emmanuel Bonne said China was delivering items that could be used as military equipment to Russia, although not on a massive scale.U.S. officials have previously raised concern about transfers of "dual-use equipment" from China to Russia. However, they have repeatedly said they have yet to see evidence of the transfer of lethal assistance for Russia's use on the battlefield.(Reporting by Kanishka Singh and Michael Martina in Washington; Editing by Caitlin Webber and Daniel Wallis)

The Canadian Press-21 dead and 40 rescued after a wind-tossed boat overturns in the Philippines-Thu, July 27, 2023 at 10:25 a.m. EDT

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — At least 21 people died and 40 others were rescued after a Philippine passenger boat overturned on Thursday when it was lashed by strong winds in Laguna Lake southeast of Manila, police said.Police said rescue operations were continuing, but did not immediately provide figures for the total number of people on board the MBCA Princess Aya that capsized in Rizal province.The incident happened as the passengers onboard suddenly moved to one side of the boat in panic when it came under fierce winds shortly after departing from a wharf for a nearby island. The boat overturned only about 46 meters (150 feet) from the shore, near the village of Kalinawan and the town of Binangonan, the coast guard said.The Rizal provincial police said they immediately launched a search and rescue operation with the help of the coast guard and other local authorities, and that at least 40 people were saved but that 21 others drowned.“The operation is still ongoing,” police said. They did not provide other details like how many passengers and crewmembers were on board.A video released by the coast guard showed rescuers on a local government boat pulling a body out of the lake. Another video showed local fishermen aboard vessels approaching the overturned boat.Typhoon Doksuri moved away Thursday after battering the northern Philippines and whipping up seasonal monsoon rains in a large swath of the archipelago.The sinking on Thursday brought the death toll from a week of stormy weather across the main island of Luzon to at least 30. At least nine people were reported killed earlier, mostly due to landslides, flooding and toppled trees and thousands were displaced, disaster response officials said.Sea travel was suspended in many ports during Doksuri's onslaught from Tuesday to Wednesday, stranding thousands of passengers and cargo trucks. The no-sail orders were gradually lifted on Thursday as weather improved in many areas.Coast guard spokesman Armand Balilo said the passenger boat had been cleared to sail from the town of Binangonan to the nearby Talim Island because the typhoon had blown out of the country.At least four northern provinces remained under cyclone wind alert, banning fishing boats and smaller vessels from venturing out to sea. Rains, however, continued to swamp several towns and cities farther south, including in the densely populated capital region, metropolitan Manila, which lies to the west of Rizal province.Sea accidents are common in the Philippine archipelago because of frequent storms, badly maintained boats, overcrowding and weak enforcement of safety regulations. In December 1987, the ferry Dona Paz sank after colliding with a fuel tanker, killing more than 4,300 people in the world’s worst peacetime maritime disaster.Jim Gomez, The Associated Press

The Canadian Press-Wildfire in Greece triggers explosions at an ammunition depot and the relocation of fighter jets-Thu, July 27, 2023 at 4:37 p.m. EDT

RHODES, Greece (AP) — A wildfire whipped on by strong winds triggered a series of massive explosions Thursday at an air force ammunition depot in central Greece, while firefighters worked to tame multiple blazes in the country.There were no injuries at the depot, which had been evacuated before the explosions, and by late Thursday the fire was no longer active. The Greek air force said that F-16 fighter jets at a nearby base were moved to another facility as a precaution, but that the base had not been under any immediate threat.Fires have raged across parts of Greece during three successive Mediterranean heat waves in the past two weeks, leaving five people dead, including two firefighting pilots, and triggering a huge weekend evacuation of tourists on the island of Rhodes.The fire in the Volos area of central Greece's Magnissia region reached the ammunition storage facility about 6 kilometers (4 miles) north of the major military air base in Nea Anchialos. Local media reported that bombs and ammunition for Greek F-16 fighters were stored at the site.The large explosions shattered windows on houses in a surrounding area, but the Greek fire service said no severe injuries were reported in nearby villages, which also were evacuated as a precaution.Fire Service spokesman Ioannis Artopios said 12 villages were ordered evacuated in the Volos-Nea Anchialos area.“Despite their superhuman efforts, our forces were unable to stop the blaze,” he said.Artopios said the Volos area blaze was the most dangerous of the 124 wildfires the fire service had to deal with Thursday.The wildfire burned on three fronts and forced a section of Greece’s busiest highway to close for several hours, while national rail services passing through the area were delayed.State ERT television showed residents and visitors in the coastal village of Anchialos, some 4 kilometers (2 1/2 miles) from the blast site, being evacuated by sea, while others were leaving in cars and buses. The coast guard said more than a hundred residents were taken in small private boats to the city of Volos.The Nea Anchialos air base is some 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the city, where loud blasts could be heard.Water-dropping helicopters and a ground crew scrambled early Thursday to a separate wildfire in Kifissia, just north of Athens, which was quickly put out.Greek firefighters also battled flames for a 10 successive day on Rhodes, where officials said the blazes were largely contained. Flare-ups were reported on the island of Evia.The World Meteorological Organization, a U.N. body, and a European Union climate change service reported Thursday that temperatures during the first three weeks of July set a new global heat record.As Southern Europe fights extreme heat and wildfires, parts of central Europe have been hit with winter conditions. Subfreezing temperatures, frost and snow have been reported in the Tatra Mountains, which run through Poland and Slovakia.In Italy, firefighters battled brush fires in the southern mainland regions of Calabria and Puglia, as well as the islands of Sicily and Sardinia, helped by temperatures dropping by about 13 degrees Celsius (by about 23 degrees Fahrenheit) into the low- and mid-30s C (high 80s F).Flames forced the evacuation of bathers on a popular stretch of the southern Adriatic coast near the town of Ugento in Puglia, Italian media said.Since Sunday, firefighters have fought more than 3,200 wildfires in southern Italy, nearly half of them in Sicily and almost 900 of them in Puglia, Italy’s national firefighters corps said on Thursday evening.“Without doubt, we can see that all across the Mediterranean the climate crisis is here, and it’s affecting us all more strongly than perhaps even scientists had warned us about,” Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Thursday during a meeting with Greece's president, Katerina Sakellaropoulou.Wildfire carbon emissions for July in Greece were the highest by a huge margin — totaling over 1 metric megatons and doubling the previous record — since record-keeping started 20 years ago, according to the EU agency that analyzes satellite data, the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service.“Unfortunately, it is not all that surprising, given the extreme conditions in the region,” said Mark Parrington, a senior scientist at the agency. “The observed intensity and estimated emissions show how unusual the scale of the fires has been for July relative to the last 20 years of data.”In Athens, senior members of the armed forces paid tribute to the two pilots killed when a firefighting plane crashed this week, at a ceremony held at the Defense Ministry.Capt. Christos Moulas and Lt. Pericles Stephanidis died during a low-altitude water drop on the island of Evia. Defense Minister Nikos Dendias said they had shown “self-denial in the line of duty.”“Greece today is in mourning. Their memories will live on,” Dendias said.Mitsotakis attended the funeral service for Stephanidis in northern Greece Thursday, while President Sakellaropoulou was expected at the service for Moulas on the island of Crete on Friday. ___Gatopoulos reported from Athens.

Accused in Ottawa east-end explosion expected to plead guilty next month-Thu, July 27, 2023 at 3:14 p.m. EDT

OTTAWA — The man charged with causing an explosion that destroyed several new homes in Ottawa earlier this year is expected to plead guilty next month.Kody Troy Crosby, 35, is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 31 to offer his plea, and a sentencing hearing is expected to follow.People in the east end of Ottawa woke up to a massive boom on Feb. 13 as a ball of fire rose into the air.The blast destroyed four homes under construction in the newly built Avalon Vista community in Orleans and damaged many more.Six people were sent to hospital, including two children, and several more people were injured.Two of those people were found buried beneath rubble, and first responders had to use chainsaws to cut their way through the debris to rescue them."Mr. Crosby is extremely remorseful for his actions and wishes to take full responsibility for what occurred," Crosby's lawyer Natasha Calvinho said in a statement.The Ottawa Police Service arson unit said in March that two tankless water heaters were stolen from the address involved in the explosion.Court documents show Crosby has a lengthy history of charges related to breaking and entering, though some of those past charges have been withdrawn."He has always expressed his intention to take responsibility; it just took the Crown and I time to work out the details," Calvinho said of Crosby's upcoming court date.Crosby was charged with four counts each of criminal negligence causing bodily harm and arson causing bodily harm, as well as two counts of breaking and entering.Crosby was also charged with arson with disregard for human life and arson causing property damage.None of the charges have yet been proven in court, and it's unclear which of the them Crosby plans to plead guilty to.This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 26, 2023.Laura Osman, The Canadian Press

The Weather Network-Saharan dust can make or break a monstrous Atlantic hurricane-Dennis Mersereau-Thu, July 27, 2023 at 3:46 p.m. EDT

Many of the Atlantic Ocean’s fiercest hurricanes started with clusters of thunderstorms thousands of kilometres away in the heart of Africa.Monsoon storms bubbling over sub-Saharan Africa seed most of the tropical cyclones that develop over the Atlantic during the peak of hurricane season, taking advantage of a favourable environment to grow from a modest disturbance to a formidable beast.But even as the continent serves as the birthplace of our strongest storms, another hazard blowing off the coast can just as easily kill a budding hurricane before it has a chance to bloom.DON’T MISS: Are more ‘Godzilla’ dust storms on the horizon? The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, covering almost one-third of the African continent with sandy dunes and some of the hottest temperatures the weather can produce.Venture farther south from the Sahara and the climate gradually shifts from desert to tropical, with summer monsoons driving near-daily thunderstorms and plentiful rainfall.A quick gaze at our blue marble from above easily reveals where these monsoon rains set up every year as the land graduates from arid to lush over a relatively short distance.Heavy thunderstorms regularly develop near this transition zone and move west across the continent on prevailing winds. These tropical waves roll into the eastern Atlantic Ocean, where they can slowly develop into tropical cyclones that swirl across the basin.But tropical waves aren’t the only disruptive features caught up in those easterly winds.Saharan Air Layers can starve a budding hurricane-Dry, sandy winds frequently blow off the Sahara Desert during the summer months, sending mammoth clouds of dust streaking across the Atlantic Ocean.Each sizable puff of hot, dusty air that blows off the continent is known as a Saharan Air Layer (SAL), and these features can severely disrupt the development of hurricanes—and even fill skies over North America with haze and dangerous air quality

The Canadian Press-Rain allows 'slight reset' in B.C. wildfire fight but drought persists-Thu, July 27, 2023 at 5:40 p.m. EDT

VANCOUVER — Recent rainfall has allowed for a "slight reset" of the wildfire fight in northern British Columbia but "doesn't erase all the challenges" of this year's historic fire season, Emergency Management Minister Bowinn Ma said Thursday."While the rain did give our hardworking firefighters a chance to take a deep breath, the wildfire and drought situation remains largely unchanged due to the drought conditions we have been seeing since last summer," she told a news conference on Thursday.The wildfire danger rating has dropped to moderate or low in all but the southeastern corner of the province, however Ma warned that the recent rain and cooler weather don't ease severe drought conditions across B.C.The BC Wildfire Service was reporting 395 active wildfires as of Thursday afternoon, down by about 90 since Monday. Twenty-one highly visible or potentially threatening fires were listed on the service's website, with just five new blazes recorded in the previous 24 hours.Wildfire Service director of operations Cliff Chapman said efforts are now being concentrated on the South Cariboo, Kamloops Fire Centre and Southeast Fire Centre."While we will see resources supporting the south with the increased activity, we are maintaining resources on our northern fires, where we have this significant activity over the course of the last two months," he said.Environment Canada is predicting another warming trend is on the way and points to a risk of thunderstorms to wrap up the week in many areas from the central coast, Cariboo and southern Interior to the northeast and southeast regions of the province.A handful of evacuation orders have been downgraded to alerts in several parts of B.C., including for an area near the 41-square-kilometre St. Mary River wildfire that broke out 10 days ago near Cranbrook, destroying seven homes north of the city.Ma said that as of 3 p.m. Wednesday, 1,060 people had been ordered to evacuate their homes due to wildfires, with 5,430 more under evacuation alerts, requiring them to be ready to leave at short notice.

Shas’s welfare minister to court: Same-sex adoption against child’s best interests-AG favors legislation that would broaden the interpretation of the current adoption law to includes same-sex couples-By ToI Staff Today, 4:59 pm

Welfare Minister Ya’akov Margi said Thursday in a response to a High Court petition against the Child Adoption Law that affording same-sex couples adoption rights is against a child’s best interests.The petition, filed by civil and LGBTQ rights organizations and several same-sex couples, calls for broadening the interpretation of the current adoption law so that it includes same-sex couples among the exceptions to the rule that only married heterosexual couples can adopt a child.The law only allows exceptions in cases in which the child’s parents died and the adopting parent is an unmarried close relative, or if the adopting parent’s partner is the child’s biological parent or had previously adopted the child. The High Court of Justice has recognized a loophole in the law by allowing same-sex partners of a biological parent to adopt the child.In her response to the petition, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara said that the ideal way to solve the issue is through Knesset legislation, though this is currently politically infeasible.Nevertheless, Baharav-Miara wrote in her response that there are reasonable interpretations of the law that grant same-sex couples adoption rights.Margi, from the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, insisted that the current law should not be amended or reinterpreted because allowing a child to be adopted by a same-sex couple would be against the child’s best interests.According to the welfare minister, allowing children to be adopted by a same-sex couple “would add additional complexities to their lives” and the government should “preserve as much as possible the lifestyle and family framework in which they were born.”In February, an opposition bill granting same-sex couples adoption rights was voted down. Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, who is openly gay, was the only coalition member to vote for the bill.

The Canadian Press-How many transgender and intersex people live in the US? Anti-LGBTQ+ laws will impact millions-Thu, July 27, 2023 at 10:32 a.m. EDT

New laws targeting LGBTQ+ people are proliferating in GOP-led states, but often absent from policy decisions is a clear understanding of how many people will be directly affected.There has been relatively scant data collected on the number of LGBTQ+ residents in the U.S., particularly intersex people — those born with physical traits that don’t fit typical definitions for male or female categories. That means lawmakers are often writing laws without the same kind of baseline information they might have for other demographic groups.“We can't study the impact without knowing the population,” said Christy Mallory, legal director of the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law. The Williams Institute is a think tank that researches sexual orientation and gender identity demographics to inform laws and public policy decisions.Here's a look at what we know and what we don’t know about the number of people in the U.S. who are LGBTQ+ or intersex.WHY DOES IT MATTER? Legislative decisions to ban transgender women and girls from playing school sports often fail to consider the impact on intersex students.A new Kansas law defines a person’s sex as male or female, based on what it calls the “biological reproductive system” identified at birth, leaving no room for intersex people, and ignoring the existence of transgender and nonbinary Kansans.Meanwhile, conversations about gender-affirming care bans were at times clouded by a discredited 2018 study that claimed kids might experience gender dysphoria because of peer influence. This led to erroneous suggestions that the number of trans people was inflated.Arguments based on the discredited study helped gender-affirming care bans pass in Georgia, Idaho and elsewhere.“Social media and social pressures that are put on our youth, and I do think that could play into this a little bit," said Idaho Republican Sen. Doug Ricks during a statehouse debate earlier this year. “It's difficult. And the conflicting testimony about the studies — there's good arguments that validate those, and others that disvalidate that.” While most states' bans on gender-affirming care have attempted to carve out exceptions for people who are born intersex, they could still make it harder for intersex people to receive medical care, said Erika Lorshbough, executive director of InterACT, an advocacy group that works to advance the rights of children born with intersex traits. Physicians and other medical practitioners who treat intersex people might be confused by the laws or unsure about their potential liability, especially if an intersex patient also identifies as LGBTQ+, Lorshbough said.HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE INTERSEX? Most advocacy groups estimate that 1.7% percent of people are born intersex — the equivalent of about 5.6 million U.S. residents. That estimate is based on a review published in the American Journal of Human Biology that looked at four decades of medical literature from 1955 to 1998. The estimate includes people with extra or missing sex-linked chromosomes, and those born with other physical variations that don’t fit into categories of “male” or “female.”Intersex people are born with at least one of about 40 naturally occurring variations relating to their genitalia, internal reproductive organs, chromosome patterns or hormones.Not all intersex people are identified as such at birth, and those who are may still be listed as either “male” or “female” on their birth certificate. That's because only about 16 states currently allow a gender marker designation other than “male” or “female” on birth certificates, and not all hospitals have intersex-affirming policies.Some intersex characteristics might not be evident until puberty or later — in fact, sometimes people don't know they are intersex until they seek treatment for infertility or undergo other unrelated medical procedures. Others might only find out if they run across medical records from their childhood, because many intersex infants and children are subjected to surgeries and treatments without their consent to make their bodies conform to categories of male or female, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. Since 2018, the AAFP has opposed medically unnecessary genital surgeries performed on intersex children.“Some people never know they’re intersex if they have what we think of as a milder variation,” said Lorshbough. “And there are plenty of folks with variations in sex characteristics who don’t identify as intersex, and these issues impact them equally. It’s all about consent and autonomy.”Hospitals aren't required to track information about how many babies are born with intersex characteristics, and there has never been a nationwide survey on intersex status done by the U.S. Census Bureau, the National Institutes of Health or another government agency that normally collect demographic data, said Lorshbough.That means there isn't enough data to calculate a definitive population number.-HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LGBTQ+? There are more than 13 million people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender in the U.S. ages 13 and older, including about 300,000 young people and 1.3 million adults who identify as transgender, according to the Williams Institute. Nearly half of them live in states without protections from discrimination at work, in school, in housing, public accommodations and credit.Polling by KFF and The Washington Post shows that there are nearly 2 million people nationwide who identify as transgender or trans, representing less than 1% of all adults. The poll found that most trans adults are younger than 35 years old, and the vast majority — nearly 8 in 10 — say that transitioning made them more satisfied with their life. Two-thirds of trans adults say they realized they were trans in childhood, and about one-third say they began to understand when they were 10 years old or younger.The Census Bureau did not add questions about sexual orientation and gender identity until 2021, though it did begin collecting data about households led by same-sex couples in the 2010 census. The 2021 U.S. Census Household Pulse Survey found that 0.6% of responding adults described themselves as transgender and 1.7% described themselves as neither male, female nor trans.The same census survey found that 4.4% of adult respondents thought of themselves as bisexual, 3.3% said they were gay or lesbian, and 88.3% said they were straight. Around 2% said they were “something else” or that they didn't know.ARE MORE PEOPLE IDENTIFYING AS LGBTQ+ NOW? It’s difficult to tell. Efforts to quantify the number of LGBTQ+ people, including intersex people, in the U.S. were scarce until the last few decades, and stigma likely prevented some from disclosing their identities. There is some overlap between the groups; intersex people are included in the plus sign in LGBTQ+, and some intersex people also identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer.From their demographic studies in 2017 and 2022, The Williams Institute noted a slight increase in the number of young people identifying as transgender, but Mallory said additional research will give a more accurate picture.“This kind of data collection on transgender status is very new for youth,” and some of the increase could be because more states are asking about transgender status during surveys of high school students, Mallory said. “But you know, some of it is probably youth feeling more comfortable identifying as trans.”Rebecca Boone And Jeff Mcmillan, The Associated Press

Ben Gvir visits Temple Mount on Tisha B’Av, drawing rebuke from US, Jordan, Saudis-Minister, other lawmakers ascend to flashpoint site without incident; 16 Jewish visitors, 2 Arabs arrested over disturbances; record numbers said to tour site on fast day-By Michael Horovitz Today, 11:29 am-JUL 27,23-Updated at 2:34 pm

Far-right National Security Itamar Ben Gvir visited the flashpoint Temple Mount site Thursday for Tisha B’Av, a Jewish day of national mourning, prompting anger from Jordan, the Palestinian Authority and the Hamas terror group as well as a rebuke from Washington.It was Ben Gvir’s third visit to the site while serving as a cabinet minister. Each visit has prompted a furious reaction from the Arab world.Jordan’s Foreign Ministry warned that alleged unilateral measures by Israel at the site and violations of the status quo “threaten to escalate the situation into more rounds of violence.”“We warn against the dangerous consequences of allowing the extremists to reach the mount and allow them to carry out provocations,” the ministry added.In a statement following Ben Gvir’s visit, the US Embassy in Israel said it “stands firmly” for preserving the status quo and the site, adding that “any unilateral action or rhetoric that jeopardizes the status quo is unacceptable.”Israel captured the Temple Mount and Jerusalem’s Old City from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War. However, it has allowed the Jordanian Waqf to continue to maintain religious authority atop the Mount.The Palestinian Authority’s Foreign Ministry charged Ben Gvir’s visit was part of “an official Israeli cover for the ongoing invasions and the plans to Judaize the Al-Aqsa Mosque and to impose forced changes on the existing historical and legal reality, as an inseparable part of the Judaization of Jerusalem.”Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qasem called the visit a “dangerous escalation” and a “provocation” to the Palestinian people, vowing that they would not allow Israel to carry out its alleged “plans” at the site.“Our people will defend the identity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and protect its Islamic and Arab character at all costs, because Al-Aqsa has always been the trigger for revolutions and rebellions,” the statement read.The Saudi Foreign Ministry also condemned Ben Gvir’s visit to the site, calling it a “flagrant violation of all international norms and agreements” as well as a “provocation to all Muslims around the world.”Negev and the Galilee Development Minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf, a member of Ben Gvir’s far-right Otzma Yehudit party, and Likud MK Amit Halevi also ascended the mount to mark Tisha B’Av under tight security. The politicians’ visits passed without incident.According to Hebrew-language media reports, some 1,000 pilgrims had toured the site by 10 a.m., surpassing the count of Jewish visitors at the site on Tisha B’Av in previous years.Police said they arrested 16 Jewish visitors and two Arabs over disturbances at the site Thursday morning. No further details were given.Observant Jews fast the entirety of the day in mourning of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE, and then of its replacement in 70 CE. A major reason for the catastrophes cited in tradition is the division and hatred between different groups in Jewish society. The two temples were located at the flashpoint site.“On this day, in this place, it’s very important to remember, we are all brothers. Right-wing, left-wing, religious, secular, we are all the same people. When a terrorist looks out the window, he doesn’t discriminate between us. Unity is important, and love of Israel is important,” Ben Gvir said in a statement.“This place is the most important place for the people of Israel where we need to return and show our governance,” he added.Wasserlauf tweeted his hope for the “redemption” of the Jewish people and “the building of the [Third] Temple soon in our days, amen.”The site is considered the holiest in Judaism, as the location of two biblical temples, while the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Mount is the third-holiest shrine in Islam, turning the area into a major flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Under the status quo, an arrangement that has prevailed for decades in cooperation with Jordan, Jews and other non-Muslims are permitted to visit the Temple Mount during certain hours but may not pray there.In recent years, Jewish religious nationalists, including members of the new governing coalition, have increasingly visited the site and demanded equal prayer rights for Jews there, infuriating the Palestinians and Muslims around the world.Last week, Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef accused Ben Gvir of “sinning and causing others to sin” by visiting the Temple Mount.Yosef said Ben Gvir has defied multiple rabbinical rulings stating that Jewish Orthodox law forbids Jews to enter the Temple Mount, citing principles detailed in halacha, Jewish Orthodox law, about preserving the purity of the site, considered the holiest in Judaism.Ben Gvir defended the visits in response, saying that he was following the advice of his own rabbis, who said it was a “mitzvah” — the Hebrew word for duty or commandment — to visit the site.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
