Gantz: Hezbollah will be ‘fatally wounded’ if Israel drawn into a war in Lebanon-Defense minister warns of possible difficult days for home front after terror group head Nasrallah said it will bomb Israeli cities in response to any attacks in Lebanon-By TOI staff-FEB 18,21-Today, 3:07 pm

Defense Minister Benny Gantz said on Thursday that Hezbollah will be “fatally wounded” if Israel needs to go to war in Lebanon, after the terror group’s head, Hassan Nasrallah, threatened Israel following an Israel Defense Forces exercise simulating war with the terror group.“If we have to go to battle, Lebanon will tremble and Hezbollah will be fatally wounded,” Gantz said at a ceremony to honor soldiers who fell in battle and whose burial places are unknown.“If there are days of fighting on the various fronts, they will be difficult for the Israeli home front, but it will be difficult and terrible first and foremost for our enemies,” Gantz said. “This is especially true for Hezbollah and Hamas, which are building offensive capabilities from within civilian areas and committing war crimes.”The comments came after Nasrallah issued a warning to Israel on Tuesday, following the IDF exercise.“We don’t seek a fight with Israel, but if it starts a war, we will fight,” Nasrallah said, according to Channel 13, adding that Hezbollah would bomb Israeli cities if the IDF were to bomb Lebanese cities.“No one can guarantee that a few days of combat between us and Israel won’t lead to a wider war,” he said. “We’re following [events] and weighing our decisions. We won’t accept something that will put our country in danger.The Israeli Air Force completed a three-day surprise exercise simulating a large-scale war with Hezbollah this week, including mock strikes on some 3,000 targets in one day, the military said, in a clear threat to the Lebanese terror group.The exercise also simulated Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel, including the firing of cruise missiles and other advanced munitions, as well as standard, albeit massive, rocket launches at both military and civilian targets in the Jewish state, a senior air force officer told reporters.The surprise exercise came amid lingering tension in the region between Israel and Hezbollah over the death of one of the terror group’s operatives in Syria last summer, in an airstrike widely attributed to the IDF. The Israeli military believes Hezbollah still intends to exact revenge for the death of its fighter in order to deter Israel from future strikes.

Not guilty: Senate acquits Trump of impeachment charges-By LISA MASCARO, MARY CLARE JALONICK and ERIC TUCKER-February 6, 2020

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump won impeachment acquittal in the U.S. Senate, bringing to a close only the third presidential trial in American history with votes that split the country, tested civic norms and fed the tumultuous 2020 race for the White House.With Chief Justice John Roberts presiding, senators sworn to do “impartial justice” stood and stated their votes for the roll call — “guilty” or “not guilty” — in a swift tally almost exclusively along party lines. Trump, the chief justice then declared, shall “be, and is hereby, acquitted of the charges.The outcome Wednesday followed months of remarkable impeachment proceedings, from Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s House to Mitch McConnell’s Senate, reflecting the nation’s unrelenting partisan divide three years into the Trump presidency.What started as Trump’s request for Ukraine to “do us a favor” spun into a far-reaching, 28,000-page report compiled by House investigators accusing an American president of engaging in shadow diplomacy that threatened U.S. foreign relations for personal, political gain as he pressured the ally to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden ahead of the next election.No president has ever been removed by the Senate.A politically emboldened Trump had eagerly predicted vindication, deploying the verdict as a political anthem in his reelection bid. The president claims he did nothing wrong, decrying the “witch hunt” as an extension of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian 2016 campaign interference by those out to get him from the start of his presidency.Trump’s political campaign tweeted videos, statements and a cartoon dance celebration, while the Republican president himself tweeted that he would speak Thursday from the White House about “our Country’s VICTORY on the Impeachment Hoax.”However, the Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said there will always be “a giant asterisk next to the president’s acquittal” because of the Senate’s quick trial and Republicans’ unprecedented rejection of witnesses.A majority of senators expressed unease with Trump’s pressure campaign on Ukraine that resulted in the two articles of impeachment. But two-thirds of them would have had to vote “guilty” to reach the Constitution’s bar of high crimes and misdemeanors to convict and remove Trump from office. The final tallies in the GOP-held Senate fell far short.On the first article of impeachment, abuse of power, the vote was 52-48 favoring acquittal. The second, obstruction of Congress, also produced a not guilty verdict, 53-47.Only one Republican, Mitt Romney of Utah, the party’s defeated 2012 presidential nominee, broke with the GOP.Romney choked up as he said he drew on his faith and “oath before God” to vote guilty on the first charge, abuse of power. He voted to acquit on the second.All Democrats found the president guilty on the two charges.Both Bill Clinton in 1999 and Andrew Johnson in 1868 drew cross-party support when they were left in office after impeachment trials. Richard Nixon resigned rather than face sure impeachment, expecting members of his own party to vote to remove him.Ahead of Wednesday’s voting, some of the most closely watched senators took to the Senate floor to tell their constituents, and the nation, what they had decided.Influential GOP Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee worried a guilty verdict would “pour gasoline on the fire” of the nation’s culture wars over Trump and “rip the country apart.″ He said the House proved its case but it just didn’t rise to the level of impeachment.Other Republicans siding with Trump said it was time to end what McConnell called the “circus” and move on.Most Democrats, though, echoed the House managers’ warnings that Trump, if left unchecked, would continue to abuse the power of his office for personal political gain and try to cheat again ahead of the the 2020 election.Even key Democrats from states where Trump is popular — Doug Jones in Alabama and Joe Manchin in West Virginia — risked backlash and voted to convict.“Senators are elected to make tough choices,” Jones said.everal senators trying to win the Democratic Party’s nomination to face Trump — Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar — dashed back from early primary state New Hampshire to vote.During the nearly three-week trial, House Democrats prosecuting the case argued that Trump abused power like no other president in history when he pressured Ukraine to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, ahead of the 2020 election.They detailed an extraordinary effort by Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani that set off alarms at the highest levels of government. After Trump’s July 25 call with Ukraine, the White House temporarily halted U.S. aid to the struggling ally battling hostile Russia at its border. The money was eventually released in September as Congress intervened.When the House probed Trump’s actions, the president instructed White House aides to defy congressional subpoenas, leading to the obstruction charge.Questions from the Ukraine matter continue to swirl. House Democrats may yet summon former national security adviser John Bolton to testify about revelations from his forthcoming book that offer a fresh account of Trump’s actions. Other eyewitnesses and documents are almost sure to surface.In closing arguments for the trial, the lead prosecutor, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., appealed to senators’ sense of decency, insisting “right matters” and “truth matters” and Trump “is not who you are.″Schiff told The Associated Press he hoped the votes to convict “will serve as a constraint on the president’s wrongdoing.”“But we’re going to have to be vigilant,” he said.Pelosi was initially reluctant to launch impeachment proceedings against Trump when she took control of the House after the 2018 election, warning against a partisan vote.But a whistleblower complaint of his conversation with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy set off alarms. The president’s call was placed the day after Mueller announced the findings of his Russia probe.When Trump told Pelosi in September that the call was perfect, she was stunned. Days later, the speaker announced the formal impeachment inquiry.The result was the quickest, most partisan impeachment in U.S. history, with no Republicans joining the House Democrats to vote for the charges. The Republican Senate kept up the pace with the fastest trial ever, and the first with no witnesses. Seventeen ambassadors, national security officials and others had testified in the House.Trump’s star attorney Alan Dershowitz made the sweeping, if stunning, assertion that even if the president engaged in the quid pro quo as described, it is not impeachable, because politicians often equate their own political interest with the national interest.McConnell braced for dissent, but with a 53-47 Republican majority he refuted efforts to prolong the trial with more witnesses, arguing the House should have done a better job.Roberts, as the rare court of impeachment came to a close, wished senators well in “our common commitment to the Constitution,” and hoped to meet again “under happier circumstances.”Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who had been drawn into the Ukraine affair, signed off on the Senate judgment later Wednesday. “Tonight, it was my pleasure to sign President @realDonaldTrump’s full acquittal,” he tweeted.___Associated Press writers Laurie Kellman, Matthew Daly, Alan Fram, Andrew Taylor, Zeke Miller and Padmananda Rama contributed to this report.

Trump impeachment: Here's how the process works-Trump became the first president impeached twice.ByMeghan Keneally andIvan Pereira-9 February 2021, 06:00

Former President Donald Trump faces an unprecedented second impeachment trial this week. Adding to the historic nature of the proceeding is that he is no longer in office and the members of the Senate who will decide his fate are among the victims in the Capitol siege, which he is accused of instigating.The House of Representatives voted 232-197 on Jan. 13 to impeach Trump for an unprecedented second time for his role in the Jan. 6 riot and breach of the Capitol, which occurred as a joint session of Congress was ratifying the election of President Biden.The extraordinary step of a second impeachment, which charged Trump with incitement of insurrection, took place just days before Trump was set to leave office. Only two other presidents -- Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton -- have been impeached and none have been convicted.Unlike Trump’s first impeachment in 2019 (in which no Republican voted to impeach), 10 members of the House GOP, including conference chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., voted for impeachment and denounced the president’s actions. Democratic House impeachment managers argued in a brief ahead of his trial, which starts in earnest Feb. 9, that Trump bore "unmistakable" responsibility for the siege and called it a "betrayal of historic proportions.""He summoned a mob to Washington, exhorted them into a frenzy, and aimed them like a loaded cannon down Pennsylvania Avenue," the managers wrote.While some Republicans have spoken out against Trump's rhetoric in the wake of the siege, it is unlikely that the former president will be convicted because it would require at least 17 Republican Senators and all 50 Democrats to agree. Some GOP members have questioned the constitutionality of trying a former president.Indeed, that's the argument that Trump's lawyers made in their own brief ahead of the trial, calling the proceeding a "legal nullity" and leaving the door open to argue the very claims of election fraud that some say sparked the riot."It is admitted that President Trump addressed a crowd at the Capitol ellipse on January 6, 2021 as is his right under the First Amendment to the Constitution and expressed his opinion that the election results were suspect, as is contained in the full recording of the speech," the president's lawyers wrote. The lawyers denied that Trump participated in insurrection.Meanwhile, last week, some 144 constitutional law scholars published a letter in The New York Times, calling a defense based on the First Amendment “legally frivolous.”President Donald Trump greets the crowd at the "Stop The Steal" Rally on Jan. 06, 2021 in Washington, DC.Through impeachment, Democrats seek to bar Trump from post-presidency financial benefits-Here's how the impeachment process works: The presidential impeachment process-An impeachment proceeding is the formal process by which a sitting president of the United States is accused of wrongdoing. It is a political process and not a criminal process.The articles of impeachment (in this case there's just one) are the list of charges drafted against the president. The vice president and all civil officers of the U.S. can also face impeachment.The process begins in the House of Representatives, where any member may make a suggestion to launch an impeachment proceeding. It is really up to the speaker of the House in practice, to determine whether or not to proceed with an inquiry into the alleged wrongdoing, though any member can force a vote to impeach.Over 210 House Democrats introduced the most recent article of impeachment on Jan. 11, 2021, contending Trump "demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security, democracy and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law."The impeachment article, which seeks to bar Trump from holding office again, also cited Trump's controversial call with the Georgia Republican secretary of state where he urged him to "find" enough votes for Trump to win the state and his efforts to "subvert and obstruct" certification of the vote.And it cited the Constitution's 14th Amendment, noting that it "prohibits any person who has 'engaged in insurrection or rebellion against' the United States" from holding office.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats accelerated the procedure -- not holding any hearings -- and voted just a week before the inauguration of President Biden.The vote requires a simple majority vote, which is 50% plus one (218), after which the president is impeached.Trump now faces a trial on the article in the Senate.Justification for impeachment-When it comes to impeachment, the Constitution lists "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors," as justification for the proceedings, but the vagueness of the third option has caused problems in the past."It was a central issue with Andrew Johnson, and there was a question during Clinton's proceedings about whether his lie [to a federal grand jury] was a ‘low’ crime or a ‘high’ crime," Michael Gerhardt, a constitutional law professor at the University of North Carolina who authored a book on the impeachment process, told ABC News.According to Suzanna Sherry, a law professor at Vanderbilt University who specializes in constitutional law, "nobody knows" what is specifically included or not included in the Constitution’s broad definition of “high crimes and misdemeanors.”"It’s only happened twice and so the general thought is that it means whatever the House and the Senate think it means," Sherry said before Trump's first impeachment, and even if the House approves the article or articles of impeachment, the senators can choose to vote against the articles if they feel they are not appropriate.Where does the Senate come in? The Senate is tasked with handling the impeachment trial, which is presided over by the chief justice of the United States in the case of sitting presidents. However, in this unusual case, since Trump is not a sitting president, the largely ceremonial task has been left to the Senate pro tempore, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the chamber's most senior member of the majority party."The president pro tempore has historically presided over Senate impeachment trials of non-presidents," Leahy said in a statement in January. "When presiding over an impeachment trial, the president pro tempore takes an additional special oath to do impartial justice according to the Constitution and the laws. It is an oath that I take extraordinarily seriously."To remove a president from office, two-thirds of the members must vote in favor – at present 67 if all 100 senators are present and voting.If the Senate fails to convict, a president is considered impeached but is not removed, as was the case with both Clinton in 1998 and Andrew Johnson in 1868. In Johnson’s case, the Senate fell one vote short of removing him from office on all three counts.In this trial, since the president has already left office, the real punishment would come if the president were to be convicted, when the Senate would be expected to vote on a motion to ban the former president from ever holding federal office again.While the Senate trial has the power to oust a president from office, and ban him or her from running for future office, it does not have the power to send a president to jail. Disqualification from holding office, a separate process, requires a simple majority vote, according to the Congressional Research Service."The worst that can happen is that he is removed from office, that's the sole punishment," Sherry said of sitting presidents.Trump's lawyers argued in their brief ahead of the second trial that the Senate cannot bar Trump from holding office in the future under the 14th Amendment because removal is a precondition for disqualification and as a private citizen the body has no jurisdiction over him.That said, a president can face criminal charges at a later point. Sherry points out that in the Constitution "the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law."In a case in which a president was actually removed from office, the vice president would assume office under the 25th Amendment, which was ratified in 1967. Then the new president would nominate a new vice president who would have to be confirmed by a majority of both houses of Congress.What does an impeachment vote mean for a sitting president and for a former president? A president can continue governing even after he or she has been impeached by the House of Representatives.Trump continued to govern after his impeachment in December 2019, and of course, ran for reelection in 2020. After Clinton was impeached on Dec. 19, 1998, he finished out his second term, which ended in January 2001, during which time he was acquitted in a Senate impeachment trial. While Clinton continued governing, and the impeachment had no legal or official impact, his legacy is marred by the proceeding.Past presidential impeachments-The House voted to impeach Trump on Dec. 18, 2019, on two articles of impeachment, one for abuse of power and one for obstruction of justice, in connection with his alleged quid pro quo call with the Ukrainian president.Following a three-week trial, the Republican controlled Senate acquitted Trump on Feb. 5, 2020, with just one Republican -- Mitt Romney of Utah -- voting to convict.Johnson faced impeachment in 1868 after clashing with the Republican-led House over the “rights of those who had been freed from slavery,” although firing his secretary of war, Edwin Stanton, who was backed by the Republicans, led to the impeachment effort. The articles of impeachment centered on the Stanton event, according to the Senate.Clinton, whose impeachment was connected to the cover-up of his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky while in office, was 22 votes away from reaching the necessary number of votes to convict in the Senate.Richard Nixon faced three articles of impeachment related to the Watergate scandal, in which he allegedly obstructed the investigation and helped cover up the crimes surrounding the break-in.But he didn’t let the process get any further, resigning before the House could impeach him.Editor's Note: This story was originally published in 2017 and has been updated periodically.

Trump defiant after impeachment acquittal as Biden reflects on 'sad chapter' in US history-In a typically bold statement, Mr Trump hints he could be back in the political spotlight to "make America great again".Sunday 14 February 2021 08:24,  Sky News

Former US president Donald Trump has been found not guilty in his impeachment trial.Although the final vote came in as 57 "guilty" and 43 "not guilty", the Democrats did not reach the two-thirds majority they needed to secure a conviction.Seven members of Mr Trump's own party (Senators Sasse, Romney, Burr, Collins, Murkowski, Toomey and Cassidy) joined Democrats on the charge of incitement.In a statement after the trial, Mr Trump said it was "a sad commentary on our times" that the Democrats had been given a "free pass to transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree".He added: "I always have, and always will, be a champion for the unwavering rule of law, the heroes of law enforcement, and the right of Americans to peacefully and honourably debate the issues of the day without malice and without hate.Three things that make the verdict crucial to all of us.Three things that make the verdict crucial to all of us-"No president has ever gone through anything like it, and it continues because our opponents cannot forget the almost 75 million people, the highest number ever for a sitting president, who voted for us just a few short months ago."US President Joe Biden said the acquittal was a reminder that democracy was "fragile", and every American had a duty to defend the truth.McConnell: Trump 'practically and morally responsible'"While the final vote did not lead to a conviction, the substance of the charge is not in dispute," he said in a statement."Even those opposed to the conviction, like Senate Minority Leader McConnell, believe Donald Trump was guilty of a 'disgraceful dereliction of duty' and 'practically and morally responsible for provoking' the violence unleashed on the Capitol."This sad chapter in our history has reminded us that democracy is fragile. That it must always be defended. That we must be ever vigilant. That violence and extremism has no place in America. And that each of us has a duty and responsibility as Americans, and especially as leaders, to defend the truth and to defeat the lies."Mr Trump had been charged with "incitement of insurrection" over last month's violence when the US Capitol was stormed by his supporters, just as Congress was attempting to ratify the 2020 election result.Just before the 6 January riots, thousands of his supporters gathered at a "Save America" rally on the National Mall, minutes away from the Capitol.It had been organised to challenge the election result and Mr Biden's win.Mr Trump's supporters listened to him speak for 70 minutes, during which at one point the former reality star exhorted them to "fight like hell - or you're not going to have a country anymore".The attack began moments after he took the applause.At the impeachment hearing, Mr Trump's defence team had launched a blistering attack on the Democrats, describing proceedings as a "unjust, unconstitutional witch-hunt".Michael van der Veen, Mr Trump's lawyer, said: "This whole spectacle has been nothing but the unhinged pursuit of a long-standing political vendetta against Mr Trump by the opposition party.He told the hearing Mr Trump was not to blame and that he had told his supporters to protest peacefully.In this image from video, Michael van der Veen, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, speaks during the second impeachment trial of Trump in the Senate at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Friday, Feb. 12, 2021.It was argued that his speech at the rally was "ordinary political rhetoric" and was constitutionally protected free speech.Washington's most powerful Republican, senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, dealt a blow to an ebullient Mr Trump by saying he believed he was "morally responsible" for the Capitol attack, and said he only voted to acquit him because he believed the senate had no jurisdiction over a former president.'Oh, these cowardly senators': Pelosi's reaction-It is the first time in history that a US president has been impeached twice.The first attempt to convict Mr Trump in January 2020, for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, saw him acquitted by a majority of 52 votes to 48 for one charge and 53 to 47 for the second.Only one Republican voted against him on one of the charges.Schumer: 'A vote of infamy in the US Senate'In his defiant statement after the conclusion of Saturday's vote, Mr Trump hinted he may return to the political spotlight.He said: "Our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement to Make America Great Again has only just begun."In the months ahead I have much to share with you, and I look forward to continuing our incredible journey together to achieve American greatness for all of our people."There has never been anything like it!"

Murkowski Censure Leaves Romney, Collins Only Republicans Not Punished for Convicting Trump-By Natalie Colarossi On 2/17/21 at 1:09 PM EST

Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski became the latest to face a local censure for voting to convict Donald Trump during his second impeachment trial, leaving just Susan Collins of Maine and Mitt Romney of Utah to be the only GOP lawmakers left unpunished.During the trial, Murkowski, Collins and Romney joined Senators Richard Burr (R-NC), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Ben Sasse (R-NE) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) along with all 48 Democrats and two independents in finding Trump guilty of inciting the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.Among those seven Republicans who voted to convict the former president, five have now received censures from GOP groups in the states they represent.On Wednesday, Murkowski became the latest to be hit with a formal rebuke, after Republican officials in at least five Alaska state House districts approved resolutions to censure her, the Anchorage Daily News reported.Though GOP officials said they became disenchanted with Murkowski for a number of reasons, the vote to convict Trump was "the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back," Jon Faulkner, a Republican district chairman in Homer, Alaska, told the Anchorage Daily News.In Alaska, a censure vote is seen as "an official rebuke and disapproval," but it could also act as a stain against Murkowski's record as she faces re-election in 2022.But the Republican senator has stood by her vote despite facing ongoing criticisms."I stand my ground. If I had to take that vote again, I would vote to uphold my oath of office. And, if the party is to censure me because they felt that I needed to support the party, they can make that statement, but I will make the statement again that my obligation is to support the Constitution that I have pledged to uphold, and I will do that, even if it means I have to oppose the direction of my state party," Murkowski said in a statement.Senator Lisa Murkowski was hit with a censure resolution by local GOP officials in Alaska for her vote to convict Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial.Since Trump was acquitted with a 57-43 floor vote on February 13, Burr, Cassidy, Sasse and Toomey have each been censured by either local or state Republican party officials.In Utah, some Republicans have called for Romney to be censured, but the state party has so far declined the resolution and said they defend "diversity of thought."The differences between our own Utah Republicans showcase a diversity of thought, in contrast to the danger of a party fixated on 'unanimity of thought.' There is power in our differences as a political party, and we look forward to each senator explaining their votes to the people of Utah," the Utah Republican Party said in a statement on Monday, referencing Romney and fellow Utah Senator Mike Lee's opposing votes during the trial.For Collins, the Maine Republican Party is still deliberating whether or not to issue a formal censure for her vote to convict Trump, according to WMTW-TV. In response, Collins said her decision to convict was "a vote of conscience" and said she hopes the party will understand that she followed the constitution."There are many Republicans who disagree very strenuously with my decision, but I would hope they would read my speech and realize that I adhered to the Constitution," Collins told the news outlet on Tuesday."The Republican Party needs to go back to focusing on what we stand for, whether it's opportunity, a strong national defense, smaller government, lower taxes, personal responsibility," she added.Newsweek reached out to representatives for Murkowski, Romney and Collins but did not hear back in time for publication.

GOP Ranking Members Demand Pelosi Explain Why She Refuses to Turn Over Documents on US Capitol Security and Why She Delayed National Guard Response for One Hour During Siege-By Jim Hoft-Published February 15, 2021 at 1:40pm

The four ranking members asked Speaker Pelosi to explain her decision to: ** Deny national guard support on January 4th ** What conversations did she or her staff give Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving specifit to January 6th? ** What response did you give security officials on January 6th when National Guard support was initially requested? ** Why are House Officers refusing to turn over documents relevant to that day? The Republican lawmakers claim the hour-long delay in National Guard approval was because the sergeant-at-arms “had to run the request up the chain of command,” including Pelosi.Republicans also note in their letter that Pelosi refused National Guard protection because the “optics” would be bad.

THIS RAISES SERIOUS RED FLAGS: CNN and NBC Paid Black Lives Matter Leader John Sullivan $35,000 a Piece for His US Capitol Riot Footage-By Jim Hoft-Published February 16, 2021 at 10:22pm

Antifa-Black Lives Matter leader John Sullivan-Antifa-Insurgence leader John Earl Sullivan was arrested in Utah after the US Capitol riots.As reported previously Antifa protester John Sullivan was caught on video posing as a Trump supporter during the rioting at the US Capitol on January 6th.Footage obtained by the Gateway Pundit from militant Black Lives Matter and Antifa activist John Sullivan’s Discord server shows the so-called “civil rights activist” reveling inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6 as he damaged federal property.Sullivan has maintained in multiple interviews that he regularly attends protests only to record what’s going on, but did not actively partake in the insurgence in Washington.  This is a lie.  He is a leader of the Utah Antifa-BLM movement and has been previously arrested.“It’s just recording, solely, and not being active in it,” he told Fox News last week.Sullivan also organized an Antifa-Insurgence rally on January 6th at the Washington Monument at 11 AM before they stormed the US Capitol.The mainstream media refuses to report these facts.On Tuesday Politico reporter Kyle Cheney reported that John Sullivan was paid $35,000 from both CNN and NBC for his footage inside the US Capitol on January 6th.That is quite a haul! Cheney posted the receipts on Twitter on Tuesday.These are the invoices filed with the court today. pic.twitter.com/JdOZ9pXaIa— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) February 17, 2021-These are the invoices filed with the court today. pic.twitter.com/JdOZ9pXaIa — Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) February 17, 2021-Tayler Hansen, a Gateway Pundit contributor, was also at the US Capitol protests. Taylor is an actual videographer and reporter, unlike John Sullivan who is a Black Lives Matter-Antifa organizer.Tayler told us, “This raises serious red flags.” Tayler told us that the average beat reporter and videographer makes $300 to $1,000 for coverage from an event like the US Capitol riots. — Sullivan made $35,000 for his coverage.Tayler Hansen added this,“With over 6 months of experience as an independent Journalist I have captured some of the most viewed and circulated media content on the internet. I have NEVER made over $1,000 on an individual video. The highest I have ever seen a news source pay for breaking news footage is $3,000. John Sullivan being paid $35,000 by CNN and NBC for ONE EVENT is criminal. An average paid journalist out of Utah makes $3,021 a month, NOT $75,000 IN A MATTER OF DAYS. Let’s not forget that John has always been an ANTIFA and BLM organizer and activist. He has never before reported in a journalistic capacity. Even while “reporting” he is seen breaking a window, telling people he has a knife to get to the front of a crowded hallway, and is heard saying, “LETS BURN THIS SHIT DOWN!”John Sullivan is not and has never been a journalist. He is an avowed BLM organizer and activist, his group InsurgenceUSA has a history of violence. There is something nefarious going on here, and I intend to find out what it is.

Smoking Gun Email Reveals Comey Told Clapper FBI Unable to ‘Sufficiently Corroborate’ Steele Dossier – Then Signed FISA Warrant Anyway-By Cristina Laila-Published February 15, 2021 at 5:35pm

In January 2017, James Comey sent then-DNI James Clapper an email informing him that the bureau had not verified the contents of the Steele dossier but Comey went on to sign the second FISA warrant on Carter Page anyway.“We are not able to sufficiently corroborate the reporting,” Comey wrote in a Jan. 12, 2017 email to James Clapper in a newly declassified memo.The memo shows a back-and-forth between the US intel community and the FBI discussing Christopher Steele and Carter Page six months into the bureau’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation that kicked off in July of 2016.The CIA had already told James Comey’s FBI that Carter Page, a Trump campaign advisor who was a target of spy warrants, was NOT a Russian spy, but rather a CIA asset who had previously helped US intelligence for many years.The FBI had also received warnings about former British spy Christopher Steele that he hated Trump and that Hillary Clinton’s campaign had planted the Russian collusion story in an effort to distract from her email scandal.The FBI terminated Christopher Steele in November of 2016 but Comey used his fake dossier and signed the January 2017 FISA renewal on Carter Page anyway.John Solomon via Just The News reported:It was in that environment in the final days of the Obama administration that Clapper had written Comey earlier on Jan. 12, 2017 to inform the FBI that Clapper had decided to release a public statement declaring that the Steele dossier was only mentioned in an appendix to the intel community’s report because the “IC has not made any judgment that the information in the document is reliable.”Comey tried to push back, suggesting Steele was deemed reliable (he actually had been terminated by the FBI for leaking by that time) and that his network included sources that might be in a position to know things (although the key source had already disavowed the information attributed to him in the dossier).“I just had a chance to review the proposed talking points on this for today,” Comey wrote Clapper. “Perhaps it is a nit, but I worry that it may not be best to say ‘the IC has not made any judgment that the information in the document is reliable.’ I say that because we HAVE concluded that the source is reliable and has a track record with us of reporting reliable information; we have some visibility into his source network, some of which we have determined to be sub-sources in a position to report on such things; and much of what he reports in the current document is consistent with and corroborative of other reporting included in the body of the main IC report.Then Comey added the line that undercut his argument: “That said, we are not able to sufficiently corroborate the reporting to include it in the body of the report.”Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded in a report that Comey’s January 12, 2017 FISA renewal contained several significant errors.Last January, James Boasberg, the presiding FISA judge, admitted in a secret order that at least two of the spy warrants against Carter Page were not lawfully authorized.Boasberg wrote in a January 7, 2020 order that the last two FISA warrants on Carter Page dated April 7, 2017 and June 29, 2017 were not valid.James Comey still has not been indicted for his crimes related to Spygate.So far only one FBI lawyer (Kevin Clinesmith) was charged in the Spygate scandal with one count of making false statements and ultimately sentenced to probation.Smoking gun: Comey told Clapper FBI unable to ‘sufficiently corroborate’ Steele — then signed FISA, newly declassified memo shows. | Just The News https://t.co/agpMxMLORL — John Solomon (@jsolomonReports) February 15, 2021

President Trump released a statement Tuesday blasting GOP senate leader Mitch McConnell.McConnell really began viciously attacking President Trump over the weekend from the senate floor after he voted against convicting Trump in the impeachment trial.McConnell suggested that Trump could still be charged with crimes and continued his attacks on Trump in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.Trump had enough of the attacks and took the gloves off.“Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again,” Trump said vowing to back “America First” primary candidates.Trump also said that if Republicans are going to stay with McConnell “they will not win again.”Read the full statement:

Fulton County Director of Elections, Richard Barron, Is Removed From Office – Will They Now Ensure a Valid Audit on Their 2020 Results? Americans Want the Truth!-By Joe Hoft-Published February 16, 2021 at 5:04pm

Just the News reports today:Georgia’s Fulton County’s Board of Registration and Elections voted Tuesday in favor of removing its election director following a mistake-marred and disputed 2020 election cycle.The board removed Director Richard Barron in a 3-2 vote, according to 11alive.com.Problems with balloting in the county emerged in the June primaries and resurfaced in the November General Election when incumbent President Trump narrowly lost the state to Democratic challenger Joe Biden.The county’s efforts were criticized by the state and the Trump campaign, which argued the results were tainted by voter fraud.A similar vote against Barron was held last week but ruled invalid because it was taken in an executive, or private, session, 11alive.com also reports.Dr. Kathleen Ruth, Mark Wingate, two Republicans, and board vice chair Vernetta Keith Nuriddin, a Democrat, voted to remove Barron.Board Chairperson Mary Carole Cooney and Aaron Johnson, two Democrats, voted to retain him.Barron was on TV a lot after the 2020 election.  He was even quoted as saying that no one was told to leave the Atlanta State Farm Arena on Election Night.  He shared this when news of the fake water main break was released and the suspected election fraud occurred late at night by poll counters after all the poll observers went home.Individuals present at the arena Election night signed affidavits saying that they were told to go home that evening.  Barron never signed an agreement stating that they were not told to go home.
It’s no surprise that Barron is gone, now will the Fulton County Board bring in an auditor to review every ballot in the county to ensure every ballot was free of fraud and only valid ballots were counted?

They are Lying to You: States That Claim That Audits of a Few Machines and Ballots Will Confirm Election Validity Are Just Plain Lying-February 17, 2021, 8:00am-by Joe HOFT

Every state that claims that by ‘auditing’ a couple of machines and running a few ballots through these machines, that election results can be confirmed as valid, are lying.  They will never be able to confirm an election’s validity using this approach.A reader shared this with us.  She forwarded our post about the 200,000 ballots in Wisconsin that the Wisconsin Supreme Court said were likely invalid.  Nothing has been done to address these ballots from the 2020 election and we asked why.The response from Wisconsin Senator Alberta Darling was to provide the voter a canned letter from the Wisconsin Election Board (who many believe are corrupt) and end it there.  Senator Darling shared the following:The second page of the canned letter says this:This letter says absolutely nothing and shows Senator Darling does not care.  How could any elected official be alright with this year’s election results?  In Wisconsin over a hundred thousand ballots were dropped late on election night, perhaps some in her district, all for Biden, and she doesn’t seem to give a damn – like so many Republicans across the country.The politicians either don’t want to do anything that will address the issues from the election, or they don’t know what to do.  Five days ago the Wisconsin Senate announced that it was ordering an audit of the state’s 2020 election results:The state’s Joint Legislative Audit Committee voted six to four along party lines to order the audit, which will be conducted by the Legislative Audit Bureau, a non-partisan body that enjoys the trust of both Republicans and Democrats.All four Democrats on the committee voted against the audit, however, and voiced concerns that it could further undermine trust in the system. There have been widespread unsubstantiated allegations of nationwide voter fraud since the November election.The problem is that the legislative body that will perform the audit does not have the capabilities to perform a forensic audit of the ballots from the 2020 election.  It is doubtful that this body will be able to analyze the Wisconsin ballots like a professional like Jovan Pulitzer can.  It is a step in the right direction but as we’ve seen already, performing work that does not address the target area in an audit is an audit that might as well not be performed.The answer is to perform a forensic audit of all ballots in a designated state or area to determine if the ballots are legitimate or not.  We shared this before.  An audit of a few machines and a review of a few ballots through those machines will not confirm the validity of an audit.  The only way an audit can confirm the validity of the election is to look at every ballot and determine its validity based on the proper characteristics of that ballot (e.g. paper type, the ink used, the structure of ballot, folds in ballots, etc…).  This can be done in a very short period of time using modern technology and inventor Pulitzer has this technology:The people of Wisconsin should demand an adequate forensic review of the 2020 ballots or they will never have free and fair elections again.  The Democrats will steal every single election going forward unless this is done.(The author speaks from an expert’s point of view.  He was involved in hundreds of audits during his career auditing millions of records.  When looking at a large data set of records, the machine functionality is almost irrelevant.  The focus of the audit should be on the input and the output of the system.  The ballots that are counted must be valid and the results should equal the total of valid ballots.  If these don’t agree then you know the machines are not working properly.)

Laura Loomer’s Big Tech Censorship Case Hits Supreme Court Docket-Collage-Allum Bokhari16 Feb 2021

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether or not to hear a case brought by Laura Loomer and Freedom Watch against Google, Apple, Facebook, and Twitter, alleging that the Masters of the Universe have been discriminating on the basis of viewpoint and coordinating with each other in an anticompetitive manner.Loomer is represented by Freedom Watch founder Larry Klayman. The case dates back to 2018, when Loomer and Klayman sued Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Apple over allegations that the platforms violated the First Amendment, the Sherman Antitrust Act, and the District of Columbia Human Rights Act.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the dismissal of the plaintiff’s First Amendment case last year, but the plaintiffs have now appealed the case to the Supreme Court, which has not yet heard any major case on the issue of tech censorship.In October last year, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas indicated that he thought legal protections for tech companies are too broad.Via Breitbart News:According to a report by Axios, Justice Clarence Thomas suggested that Section 230 of the CDA should be narrowed. Section 230 grants broad legal protections to social media companies with regard to content posted by users.In a statement issued in response to a petition for writ of certiorari, Justice Thomas argued that Section 230 declares that social media platforms are not “publishers,” which means that they cannot be held liable for content posted by their users. Some industry analysts have suggested that platforms should be responsible for certain content on their platform, and for the censorship of content from their platforms, an act that makes them a publisher instead of a platform.Loomer contested Floridas’ 21st congressional district for the Republican party in 2020, the only major political candidate in the country who was denied access to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and PayPal.Allum Bokhari is the senior technology correspondent at Breitbart News. His new book, #DELETED: Big Tech’s Battle to Erase the Trump Movement and Steal The Election, which contains exclusive interviews with sources inside Google, Facebook, and other tech companies, is currently available for purchase.

Associated Press-UN: Huge changes in society needed to keep nature, Earth OK-BY SETH BORENSTEIN-Thu, February 18, 2021, 11:18 AM

Humans are making Earth a broken and increasingly unlivable planet through climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. So the world must make dramatic changes to society, economics and daily life, a new United Nations report says.Unlike past U.N. reports that focused on one issue and avoided telling leaders actions to take, Thursday’s report combines three intertwined environment crises and tells the world what’s got to change. It calls for changing what governments tax, how nations value economic output, how power is generated, the way people get around, fish and farm, as well as what they eat.“Without nature’s help, we will not thrive or even survive,” Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said. “For too long, we have been waging a senseless and suicidal war on nature. The result is three interlinked environmental crises.”Thus the 168-page report title is blunt: “Making Peace With Nature.”“Our children and their children will inherit a world of extreme weather events, sea level rise, a drastic loss of plants and animals, food and water insecurity and increasing likelihood of future pandemics,” said report lead author Sir Robert Watson, who has chaired past UN science reports on climate change and biodiversity loss.“The emergency is in fact more profound than we thought only a few years ago,” said Watson, who has been a top level scientist in the U.S. and British governments.The report highlighted what report co-author Rachel Warren of the University of East Anglia called “a litany of frightening statistics that hasn’t really been brought together:” • Earth is on the way to an additional 3.5 degrees warming from now (1.9 degrees Celsius), far more than the international agreed upon goals in the Paris accord. • About 9 million people a year die from pollution. • About 1 million of Earth’s 8 million species of plants and animals are threatened with extinction. • Up to 400 million tons of heavy metals, toxic sludge and other industrial waste are dumped into the world’s waters every year. • More than 3 billion people are affected by land degradation, and only 15% of Earth’s wetlands remain intact. • About 60% of fish stocks are fished at the maximum levels. There are more than 400 oxygen-depleted “dead zones” and marine plastics pollution has increased tenfold since 1980.“In the end it will hit us,” said biologist Thomas Lovejoy, who was a scientific advisor to the report. “It’s not what’s happening to elephants. It’s not what’s happening to climate or sea level rise. It’s all going to impact us.”The planet's problems are so interconnected that they must be worked on together to be fixed right, Warren said. And many of the solutions, such as eliminating fossil fuel use, combat multiple problems including climate change and pollution, she said.The report “makes it clear that there is no time for linear thinking or tackling problems one at a time,” said University of Michigan environment professor Rosina Bierbaum, who wasn’t part of the work.In another break, this report gives specific solutions that it says must be taken.This report uses the word “must” 56 times and “should” 37 times. There should be 100 more because action is so crucial, said former U.N. climate chief Christiana Figueres, who wasn’t part of the report.“Time has totally ran out. That’s why the word ‘must’ is in there,” Figueres said.The report calls for an end to fossil fuel use and to $5 trillion in government subsidies for fossil fuel and other industries that degrade the environment. It says governments should not tax labor or production, but use of resources that damages nature.Scientists should inform leaders about environmental risks “but their endorsement of specific public policies threatens to undermine the credibility of their science,” said former Republican Rep. Bob Inglis, who founded the free market climate think tank RepublicEn.org.The report also tells nations to value nature in addition to the gross domestic product when calculating how an economy is doing. And it says people and governments “need to be redeployed from transforming nature to transforming the social and economic fabric of society.”Getting there means changes by individuals, governments and business, but it doesn't have to involve sacrifice, said UN Environment Programme Director Inger Andersen.“There's a country that has been on that path for 25 years: Costa Rica,” Andersen said, adding that more than 125 countries pledging to have net zero carbon emissions by mid century is encouraging. “Yes, these are difficult times, but more and leaders are stepping in.”___Follow Seth Borenstein on Twitter at @borenbears.___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

Axios-CNN says Chris Cuomo banned from covering brother, despite early pandemic exception-Fadel Allassan-Thu, February 18, 2021, 8:39 AM

A CNN spokesperson told the Washington Post that a rule prohibiting anchor Chris Cuomo from interviewing or covering his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, "remains in place today."Why it matters: Chris Cuomo hosted his brother for numerous segments of "Cuomo Prime Time" to discuss the coronavirus last year, when New York was at the epicenter of the pandemic and the governor was winning plaudits for his crisis management. Gov. Cuomo is now facing a federal probe and calls to resign over his handling of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes.Stay on top of the latest market trends and economic insights with Axios Markets. Subscribe for free-Chris Cuomo's show has not covered the controversy surrounding Gov. Cuomo — who was accused on Wednesday of threatening a Democratic state lawmaker over the alleged nursing home cover-up — despite other CNN programs reporting on the issue, according to the New York Post.It raises questions about whether the governor should have ever appeared on "Cuomo Prime Time," given the conflict of interest.What they're saying: "The early months of the pandemic crisis were an extraordinary time," a CNN spokesperson told the Washington Post. "We felt that Chris speaking with his brother about the challenges of what millions of American families were struggling with was of significant human interest.""As a result, we made an exception to a rule that we have had in place since 2013 which prevents Chris from interviewing and covering his brother, and that rule remains in place today. CNN has covered the news surrounding Governor Cuomo extensively."

HuffPost-FBI Opens Investigation Over Cuomo's Nursing Home Death Scandal [UPDATED]-Sebastian Murdock and Dominique Mosbergen-Wed, February 17, 2021, 3:25 PM

The FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office in Brooklyn, New York, have reportedly launched a preliminary investigation into how New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his coronavirus task force handled nursing home data during the COVID-19 pandemic.The Albany Times Union first reported news of the investigation Wednesday. The paper said the probe is in its early stages and is scrutinizing the work of some of the task force’s senior members.Richard Azzopardi, a spokesperson for the governor, told NBC News that Cuomo’s administration has been cooperating with federal investigators at the Department of Justice.“As we publicly said, DOJ has been looking into this for months. We have been cooperating with them and we will continue to,” Azzopardi said.Cuomo has received an outpouring of criticism over allegations that he covered up the true number of coronavirus-related deaths at nursing homes across the state.Earlier on Wednesday, a New York lawmaker said that Cuomo had threatened his career over the scandal.Democratic Assemblyman Ron Kim told CNN that the governor called him last week and said he “hadn’t seen his wrath and he can destroy me.”“Cuomo called me directly on Thursday to threaten my career if I did not cover up for Melissa [DeRosa] and what she said,” Kim told CNN.Last week, top Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa acknowledged in a private virtual call with lawmakers that the governor’s administration had withheld data on the deaths from state lawmakers for months because state officials “froze” over worries that the information was “going to be used against us” by then-President Donald Trump.Kim, who represents Queens, told CNN that Cuomo tried pressuring him into releasing a statement in support of the governor.“He tried to pressure me to issue a statement, and it was a very traumatizing experience,” Kim said. He added that Cuomo told him “‘we’re in this business together and we don’t cross certain lines,’ and he said I hadn’t seen his wrath and that he can destroy me.”Kim’s wife also told CNN she overheard portions of the call, including Cuomo using the words “my wrath.”An adviser for Cuomo denied Kim’s description of the call.“No man has ever spoken to me like that in my entire life,” Kim told CNN. “At some point he tried to humiliate me, asking: ‘Are you a lawyer? I didn’t think so. You’re not a lawyer.’ It almost felt like in retrospect he was trying to bait me and anger me and say something inappropriate. I’m glad I didn’t.”Kim said he has hired a lawyer out of caution.Last week, a reporter had asked Cuomo if state Attorney General Letitia James should investigate the allegations against the governor and his team.“There’s nothing to investigate there,” Cuomo responded.This story has been updated with news of the FBI investigation.This article originally appeared on HuffPost and has been updated.

Deadly Texas winter storm leaves millions without power amid frigid temperatures-Temperatures plunge below zero in some Texas towns as flights delayed, canceled-By Evie Fordham | Fox News-National Forecast, Feb. 15-Janice Dean has your FoxCast.

An unusually harsh winter storm in Texas has killed at least one person and left millions of customers without power in the state amid dangerously low temperatures.A spokesman for the Harry County Sheriff's Department told reporters Monday afternoon that a homeless man living in a van had been found dead from suspected exposure to the cold. Meanwhile, fire officials in Harris County said they were responding to a home in Houston where six people -- including 4 children -- who had suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning. Officials said the family had been burning a fire for warmth for about four hours. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Saturday that Texas "is facing a very dangerous winter storm" over the coming days that will "make movement virtually impossible."He called the storm "unprecedented" in the state's history.Temperatures in north Texas remained below zero as of Monday morning, with Amarillo reporting a temperature of minus seven degrees, according to WeatherWX.com. Dallas had reached 10 degrees by mid-morning, with Houston at 20 degrees.HISTORIC WINTER STORM SLAMS TEXAS WITH RECORD COLD, ICY ROADS-Rotating power outages were initiated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, early Monday morning, meaning thousands went without electricity for periods of time as temperatures fell into the teens near Dallas and 20s (about minus 5 degrees Celsius) around Houston.Austin's electric utility Austin Energy told residents the outages may be longer than usual, prompting angry social media replies from Texans who said they'd been without power for five or more hours."Typical events allow short durations of each outage, but outages are longer if the ERCOT grid requires -- which is what we're seeing in today's event," Austin Energy wrote on Twitter.The utility advised residents to keep their keep their thermostat set to 68 degrees or lower, and to avoid using their oven or washing machine. Businesses were likewise advised to minimize operations to conserve energy.Some turned to social media to vent their frustration with the outages."My parents, who are elderly, have been without power since 2am," one user wrote. "They are over 70years old. How can I get them some power?!""This is downright dangerous," wrote another user. "No power for 5+ hours and sub zero windchills."Kent and Brazos counties, on opposite sides of the state, were hardest hit with nearly all customers losing power early Monday morning, according to an online power outage tracker."The electricity grid continues to lose generation," Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner told residents on Twitter. "If you are without power, you may be without power throughout the day. Please do your best to stay warm safely. Check on our seniors."Temperatures are expected to plunge again Monday night, and more snow and wintry precipitation is forecast to fall Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.President Biden also declared an emergency in Texas in a statement Sunday night. The declaration is intended to add federal aid to state and local response efforts.The storm has also snarled travel. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Austin canceled all flights on Monday, while Dallas-Fort Worth Airport said all inbound flights would be held at their origins until 11 a.m. CT on Monday "due to snow and ice."More than 760 flights were canceled at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and at Dallas Love Field most of the nearly 200 flights for Southwest Airlines, the airport’s main carrier, were canceled on Sunday.American Airlines said about 345 of its flights were canceled at DFW Airport, its hub, by early Sunday afternoon. The airline said the storm was also affecting its flights across the region, with operations reduced and canceled at airports across Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.The current storm system formed Friday night, stretching across much of the Ohio Valley and Appalachians into the Northeast. Texas issued a winter storm warning for the entire weekend and the early part of the week.OKLAHOMA CITY MASSIVE PILEUP FORCES HIGHWAY CLOSURE AFTER ICY ROADS SEND CARS FLYING-"Maximum cold weather preparations MUST be completed today," Jeff Lindner, a Harris County Flood Control District meteorologist, tweeted Sunday morning. "Time is running out and conditions will quickly deteriorate late this afternoon and evening."The storm dropped heavy snow across Oklahoma, creating dangerous driving conditions. Several people were hospitalized after a fiery crash involving multiple semi-trucks and passenger vehicles on a highway near Oklahoma City, according to Fox 25's Connor Hansen. "Do not get out if you don't have to," the Oklahoma Highway Patrol warned Sunday.Road safety will be a top priority after Fort Worth saw a pileup last week involving over 130 vehicles, including 18-wheelers and passenger cars, which resulted in six deaths and dozens of injuries.In El Paso, a 15-car pileup on Sunday morning served as a warning to anyone wanting to travel, but fortunately no deaths were reported as of Sunday, KFOX14 reported.Fox News' Peter Aitken and the Associated Press contributed to this report.Fox Nation.

USA TODAY-'Just a real mess': 100M from the South to the East Coast in path of a new winter storm; 2.1M power outages across 8 states-Doyle Rice, USA TODAY-Thu, February 18, 2021, 12:48 AM

Winter's brutal assault continued Wednesday night as another snowstorm roared its way across the nation through the end of the week, hitting areas where millions were already without electricity in record-breaking cold.More than 100 million Americans are in the path of the storm as it tracks from the southern Plains to the East Coast over the next few days, the National Weather Service said.But the nation's heartland will get some relief over the weekend, the weather service reported, as the frigid air will begin to moderate over the next couple days.But first, much of Texas and the Southeast will have to endure heavy snowfall and "ice accumulations of a light glaze to a few hundredths of an inch" through Thursday. Heavy snow is forecast to move work its way as far north as southern New England on Thursday.Meanwhile, the Southeast will also have to contend with a slight risk of severe thunderstorms, as well the chance of tornadoes Thursday morning, forecasters said.More than 30 people have died because of the intense cold and a series of storms that moved from coast to coast since the weekend. In the Houston area, one family succumbed to carbon monoxide from car exhaust in their garage; another perished after flames spread from a fireplace.At least 13 children were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning at Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, hospital officials said.In Texas, more than 1.6 million homes and businesses remained without power late Wednesday night, and some also lost water service. Texas officials ordered 7 million people — a quarter of the population of the nation's second-largest state — to boil tap water before drinking it. All of Austin is under a water boil notice, city officials announced Wednesday night.Texas wasn't the only state contending with power issues. Other states where outages numbered in the tens of thousands included Louisiana, Mississippi, West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio and Oregon, according to poweroutage.us, a utility tracking site.'Massive failure': Why are millions in Texas still without power? Utilities from Minnesota to Texas and Mississippi implemented rolling blackouts to ease the burden on power grids straining to meet extreme demand for heat and electricity as record low temperatures were reported in city after city.In Austin, officials said the boil notice is due to the city's largest water treatment facility, the Ullrich Water Treatment Plant, losing power. They said water pressure had also dropped below minimum standards, and thawill be in place until further notice.Josh Sklar, from northwest Austin, said his family lost power Thursday. After getting it back for a brief time Sunday, he said his family is again huddled together in a closet for warmth."We have zero confidence in ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) and Austin Energy caring about us or doing anything," Sklar said.Many residents are frustrated, including Amber Nichols of north Austin."We are very angry," she said. "I was checking on my neighbor, she’s angry, too. We’re all angry because there is no reason to leave entire neighborhoods freezing to death. This is a complete bungle."The power grid manager did not have firm estimates Wednesday for when power would be restored for Texans, millions of whom have been without electricity in frigid temperatures since early Monday.ERCOT President Bill Magness said he hoped many customers would see electricity at least partially restored – on a rotating basis, with outages coming in and out – by later Wednesday or Thursday.The next winter storm will bring more snow and ice and “just a real mess” to many areas of the country, including the South, Midwest and Northeast, AccuWeather meteorologist Bernie Rayno said.As the storm advances to the northeast through Friday, snow is forecast to fall along a 2,000-mile-long swath from northwestern and north-central Texas to northern Maine, AccuWeather said. Freezing rain and sleet will occur to the south and east of the snow zone, extending from central Texas to southeastern New York state.Ice accumulations of a quarter to as much as three-quarters of an inch are forecast in some areas. "In the areas that contend with these devastating ice accumulations, residents can expect dangerous travel conditions, numerous power outages and extensive tree damage," the weather service said.While many areas deal with the bitter cold, some parts of the Gulf Coast were likely to contend with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes Wednesday, the Storm Prediction Center said. The severe storm threat will continue Thursday in portions of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.The extreme weather threatened to affect the nation’s COVID-19 vaccination effort. President Joe Biden’s administration said delays in vaccine shipments and deliveries were likely. After visiting Milwaukee on Tuesday, Biden said the weather was as “cold as the devil up there.”The Federal Emergency Management Agency has supplied generators to Texas and is preparing to move diesel there to help ensure the availability of backup power, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at a press briefing Wednesday.She said FEMA is also supplying Texas with water and blankets at the state’s request.There is a glimmer of hope for those dealing with outages, major disruptions in daily activities or just plain exhaustion from all the winter storms: "Behind this winter storm, there may be a break in the relentless pattern of cross-country snow and ice," AccuWeather senior meteorologist Courtney Travis said."While a full week of dry weather may not be the case, the central and eastern parts of the country may get some relief from the constant storminess during the final week of February," Travis said.Contributing: Elinor Aspegren and Joey Garrison, USA TODAY; The Austin-American Statesman; The Associated Press-This article originally appeared on USA TODAY:

Reuters-Freak cold in Texas has scientists discussing whether climate change is to blame-Tom Balmforth-Wed, February 17, 2021, 3:12 PM

(Reuters) - The freak cold spell that has killed at least 21 Americans and shut down power for days in Texas has revived scientific discussion over whether climate change could be delivering this week's chill.Scientists say global warming – specifically the rapid warming of the Arctic – is a possible, if not likely, culprit in the extreme weather.Historically, frigid temperatures have typically been contained within the Arctic by a jet stream circling the polar region. In fact, along with the spinning of the planet, it's the contrast in temperatures and atmospheric pressures between the Arctic and lower latitudes that results in the winds.But as the Arctic has warmed more than twice as fast as the global average over the last three decades, that contrast can be less pronounced, said Paul Beckwith, a climate system scientist in Ottawa. That could cause the polar jet stream to slow down and meander, so that it carries more warmer air toward the pole and frigid air further south, he said."What we're seeing this year is an extreme example of what happens when the jet stream trough goes really deep southward," Beckwith said."I think it's a rock-solid case," he said. But "it might take a bit of time for the science to catch up and find all the details" to prove it.This polar vortex theory, first proposed in 2012, has some researchers like Beckwith worried about what future warming might mean for traditionally temperate lands further south.Others caution that it's still too early to draw conclusions. The theory "remains speculative, and it is the reporting of it as fact that is not justified," climate scientist Geoffrey Vallis at the University of Exeter tweeted on Tuesday. "It may be true, but perhaps more likely not."Cold weather is something to expect in winter, after all, and extreme cold could be a result of natural variability, some say.However, scientists have found a strong correlation between extreme winter weather in 12 U.S. cities and warmer temperatures in the Arctic over the last 50 years, according to research published in 2018 in the Nature Communications journal.The United States may not be the only country affected, either.Temperatures fell to a bone-chilling minus 60 Celsius (minus 76 Fahrenheit) in Russia's Siberian region of Yakutia last month, according to the Roshydromet meteorological service. Much of Russian Siberian had one of its 15 coldest Januaries on record, it said.Vladimir Semenov, a climate scientist at the Moscow-based Obukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics, said the recent cold spell in Russia could be another likely consequence of a wobbly jet stream.While Semenov acknowledges there is still not enough data to establish a firm climate link in the pattern, he said research pointing to the theory of a "wavier" polar jet stream due to Arctic warming was compelling.Computer simulations of climate and weather patterns have resulted in contradictory findings on the issue though, he said. "Thus, the uncertainty still remains."(Reporting by Tom Balmforth in Moscow; editing by Katy Daigle and Lisa Shumaker)

Axios-CNN says Chris Cuomo banned from covering brother, despite early pandemic exception-FEB 18,21

A CNN spokesperson told the Washington Post that a rule prohibiting anchor Chris Cuomo from interviewing or covering his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, "remains in place today."Why it matters: Chris Cuomo hosted his brother for numerous segments of "Cuomo Prime Time" to discuss the coronavirus last year, when New York was at the epicenter of the pandemic and the governor was winning plaudits for his crisis management. Gov. Cuomo is now facing a federal probe and calls to resign over his handling of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes.Stay on top of the latest market trends and economic insights with Axios Markets. Subscribe for freeChris Cuomo's show has not covered the controversy surrounding Gov. Cuomo — who was accused on Wednesday of threatening a Democratic state lawmaker over the alleged nursing home cover-up — despite other CNN programs reporting on the issue, according to the New York Post.It raises questions about whether the governor should have ever appeared on "Cuomo Prime Time," given the conflict of interest.What they're saying: "The early months of the pandemic crisis were an extraordinary time," a CNN spokesperson told the Washington Post. "We felt that Chris speaking with his brother about the challenges of what millions of American families were struggling with was of significant human interest." "As a result, we made an exception to a rule that we have had in place since 2013 which prevents Chris from interviewing and covering his brother, and that rule remains in place today.

Security breach at heavily guarded Negev complex-Suspected car thief breaks into Israel’s most important air base, home to F-35s-Helicopters, special forces lead manhunt at massive Nevatim military facility, which houses fighter jets, other advanced planes-By Judah Ari Gross-feb8,21

A suspected car thief broke into the Israeli Air Force’s Nevatim Air Base in the northern Negev Desert on Monday, after abandoning a car he had allegedly stolen from the nearby town of Dimona, prompting a massive manhunt, police and the military said.“Police forces, assisted by the Israel Defense Forces, are searching the area,” police said in a statement. The IDF confirmed that it was on searching for a suspect.Nevatim is considered the air force’s most important base, as it is home to Israel’s fleet of F-35 fight jets, the most advanced aircraft in the military’s arsenal, as well as several other advanced planes, such as the C-130J Super Hercules cargo plane.Nevatim is also a massive, sprawling facility, roughly the size of a city, which will make the search more difficult.According to the military, the suspect drove through an open gate into the base, but punctured the tires on the security spikes on the road.He then abandoned the car and took off on foot deeper inside the base.Military helicopters were brought in to assist in the search, as were teams of the air force’s elite Shaldag special forces unit.The effort was led by the commander of the air base, Brig. Gen. Omer Tishler.As a precautionary measure, the families of officers who live on the base were warned to stay inside their homes.The embarrassing breach shed light on the holes in the security of what is meant to be a heavily guarded military facility and also demonstrated the degree of lawlessness in parts of southern Israel, where there is minimal law enforcement.

Angry backlash, misinformation fears after Facebook blacks out news in Australia-Critics of wide-reaching move say professional journalism acted as a check on the spread of fake news; now it’s been barred from feeds on the social media platform-By Holly Robertson-FEB 18,21-Today, 6:45 pm

BRISBANE, Australia (AFP) — Facebook’s news blackout in Australia has raised fears misinformation could come to dominate the platform in the country, with fake news and conspiracy theories left untouched while credible sources have been cut off.From Thursday Australians were unable to post links to news articles or view the Facebook pages of local and international news outlets, while Aussie news sources disappeared from the site worldwide.The social media giant was acting in response to tough new regulations that will force it and Google to pay for the news stories shown on their platforms.The shock move sparked an angry backlash.Several critical government agencies — tasked with issuing emergency COVID-19, bushfire, flood and cyclone advice — were initially caught up in the news ban before Facebook began restoring them.An assortment of other Australian pages were also rendered blank, including cancer and homelessness charities, major businesses and even popular satire accounts.But unaffected by the blackout were a series of pages owned by purveyors of fake news and conspiracy theories — despite their frequently posting about current events.Among them were several pages identified by AFP’s fact-checking team as sharing false claims that circulate to tens of thousands of users.The Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance said the professional journalists it represents acted as a check on the spread of misinformation before their work was barred from Facebook feeds.“By restricting independent, professionally produced news in Australia, Facebook is allowing the promotion of conspiracy theories, misinformation, fake news and QAnon crackpots on its platform,” representative Marcus Strom said.“This irresponsible move by Facebook will encourage the dissemination of fake news, which is particularly dangerous during the COVID pandemic and is a betrayal of its Australian audiences,” he added.A Facebook spokesperson said the company’s “commitment to combat misinformation on Facebook has not changed.”“We are directing people to authoritative health information and notify them of new updates via our COVID-19 Information Centre,” they said, also pointing to its ongoing fact-checking partnerships.AFP is among the organizations currently working with Facebook’s fact-checking program. Facebook pays to use fact checks from around 60 such organizations, including media outlets and specialized fact-checkers, on its platform and on Instagram.The Facebook blackout came just days ahead of Australia’s planned vaccine rollout, raising concerns official health messaging could be drowned out by anti-vaxxer voices.“I would say again to Facebook, think again. You may be in it for the money, but the rest of us are in it for safety, protection and responsibility,” Health Minister Greg Hunt said. “This is the moment to return to your origins. Where you were meant to be, as a company, focused on community, engagement, not on the money.”Facebook has said it generates hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for Australian media organizations via clicks.Critics hit out at the speed and scope of Facebook’s action against Australia after years of what they described as its apparent reluctance to clear the platform of violence, hate speech and misinformation.“And people wonder why this didn’t happen with certain hate groups in other parts of the world, why there wasn’t such an attempt to remove that content wholesale,” Lucie Krahulcova of Digital Rights Watch told AFP.“Because I think Facebook really lagged and dilly-dallied and failed many social movements as a result,” she said.Facebook was already under fire for not doing enough to curb misinformation and vitriol globally before this latest controversy.Last month, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company was seeking to “turn down the temperature” on its sprawling platform by reducing the kind of divisive and inflammatory political talk it has long hosted.The social network has also set about banning groups that share debunked COVID-19 claims and highlighting health advice from reliable official agencies that remain accessible.But Reset Australia, which aims to counter digital threats to democracy, said the Australian news blackout revealed “just how little the platform cares about stopping misinformation.”

US and Israel announce work on new Arrow 4 air defense system amid Iran tensions-With ‘extraordinary flight and interception capabilities,’ the latest generation in the family of anti-ballistic missiles is set to replace the Arrow 2 in the coming decades-By TOI staff and Agencies-FEB 18,21-Today, 5:25 pm

Israel and the US have begun developing the Arrow 4, the latest generation in the family of Israeli anti-ballistic missiles and an essential part of the country’s multi-layered defense system, Israel’s Defense Ministry announced Thursday.“The defense establishment is working round the clock to shield Israel’s skies from ballistic threats,” Defense Minister Benny Gantz said, praising the joint development with US partners. “It will bring a technological and operational leap to the future battlefield,” he added.According to Gantz, the Arrow 4 anti-ballistic missile will include upgraded capabilities and will join the existing Arrow family to “address a wide range of evolving threats in the region” adding that it is expected to replace the Arrow 2 in the coming decades.Vice Admiral Jon Hill, director of the US Missile Defense Agency, said the Arrow 4 joint development operation “expresses the United States’ commitment to assist the State of Israel in strengthening its national defense system against the missile threat.Israel says the Arrow system is a critical element in its multi-layered defense system, which includes powerful radar systems, the Iron Dome anti-rocket system, the Arrow 2 and the Arrow 3, which entered operational use in 2017. The existing systems have undergone a series of improvements with successful interception tests in Israel and Alaska, according to the Defense Ministry.“Arrow 4 will have extraordinary flight and interception capabilities, to ensure Israel will remain one step ahead of the enemy,” said Moshe Patel, head of the Israeli Missile Defense Organization.Earlier in February, the Israel Defense Forces and the United States European Command launched a joint air defense exercise, dubbed Juniper Falcon, focused on the threat of ballistic missile attack.In January, Iran held a series of ballistic missile drills, amid tensions with the US.Iran has a missile capability of up to 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles), far enough to reach Israel and US military bases in the region. Last January, after the US killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad, Tehran retaliated by firing a barrage of ballistic missiles at two Iraqi bases housing US troops, resulting in brain concussion injuries to dozens of them.Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accused Israel of being behind the November killing of the country’s top nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the alleged mastermind of Iran’s rogue nuclear weapons program, and has vowed to avenge his death.

Dr. 'We are depressed, disheartened and tired to the bone'US coronavirus deaths pass 250,000 as hospitals overwhelmed with cases-Amid surge, number of hospitalized has doubled in past month, many hospitals converting chapels, cafeterias into patient treatment areas, warning patients will be turned away-By Paul J. Weber and Sarah Rankin-nov 18,20-Today, 2:48 am

AP — Overwhelmed hospitals are converting chapels, cafeterias, waiting rooms, hallways, even a parking garage into patient treatment areas. Staff members are desperately calling around to other medical centers in search of open beds. Fatigue and frustration are setting in among front-line workers.Conditions inside the nation’s hospitals are deteriorating by the day as the coronavirus rages across the US at an unrelenting pace and the confirmed death toll surpassed 250,000, the highest in world, by the Johns Hopkins University’s count.“We are depressed, disheartened and tired to the bone,” said Alison Johnson, director of critical care at Johnson City Medical Center in Tennessee, adding that she drives to and from work some days in tears.The number of people in the hospital with COVID-19 in the US has doubled in the past month and set new records every day this week. As of Tuesday, nearly 77,000 were hospitalized with the virus.Newly confirmed infections per day in the U.S. have exploded more than 80% over the past two weeks to the highest levels on record, with the daily count running at close to 160,000 on average. Cases are on the rise in all 50 states. Deaths are averaging more than 1,155 per day, the highest in months.Shelves in the toilet paper aisle at a Walgreens store sit empty in Buffalo Grove, Ill., Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2020.

Huh)-The out-of-control surge is leading governors and mayors across the US to grudgingly issue mask mandates, limit the size of private and public gatherings ahead of Thanksgiving, ban indoor restaurant dining, close gyms or restrict the hours and capacity of bars, stores and other businesses.New York City’s school system — the nation’s largest, with more than 1 million students — suspended in-person classes Wednesday amid a mounting infection rate, a painful setback in a corner of the country that suffered mightily in the spring but had seemingly beaten back the virus months ago.Texas is rushing thousands of additional medical staff to overworked hospitals as the number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients statewide accelerates toward 8,000 for the first time since a deadly summer outbreak.In the worsening rural Panhandle, roughly half of the admitted patients in Lubbock’s two main hospitals had COVID-19, and a dozen people with the virus were waiting in the emergency room for beds to open up Tuesday night, said Dr. Ron Cook, the Lubbock County health authority.“We’re in trouble,” Cook said.In the Texas border city of El Paso, overwhelmed morgues have begun paying jail inmates $2 an hour to help transport the bodies of virus victims. The crush of patients is forcing the city to send its non-COVID-19 cases to hospitals elsewhere in the state.More than 5,400 extra medical personnel have been deployed around Texas by the state alone, said Lara Anton, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services. And that doesn’t include the help surging into Texas from the military and volunteer organizations.Teachers Alis Anasal, from left, and Grimaldy Ortiz, join student Jovanny Mendez, center, advocate counselor Christian Velsaco, and Good Shepherd Services director Karen Dette as they chat in the hallway at West Brooklyn Community High School after learning that the school would be closing for the third time this year due to the city’s attempt to control the spread of coronavirus, Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2020, in the Brooklyn borough of New York. The mayor and schools chancellor announced Wednesday that school buildings will close Thursday. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)“There are only so many medical personnel to go around. And I think what we’re seeing in places like El Paso is not sustainable in all or a large part of the state,” said Dr. Mark McClellan, a former head of the Food and Drug Administration.Ballad Health system, which is located in the Appalachian mountains and includes the Tennessee hospital where Alison Johnson works, has warned that it and its workers are stretched so thin that without a change in course, its hospitals might have to turn patients away. Ballad reported having just 16 available ICU beds Wednesday and about 250 team members in isolation or quarantine. It is trying to recruit hundreds more nurses.In Idaho, doctors warned that hospitals have almost reached the point where they need to ration care, unable to treat everyone because there aren’t enough beds or staffers to go around.“Never in my career did I think we would even contemplate the idea of rationing care in the United States of America,” said Dr. Jim Souza, chief medical officer for St. Luke’s Health System.In Reno, Nevada, Renown Regional Medical Center began moving some coronavirus patients into its parking garage.A lone pedestrian walks past a public service sign reminding Chicago residents of the return to a stricter COVID-19 protocol along the city’s usually busy Magnificent Mile Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2020, in Chicago.

The floor has enough space to treat about 700 people.In Kansas, hospitals are converting spaces such as chapels and cafeterias for use by COVID-19 patients, said Cindy Samuelson, spokeswoman for the Kansas Hospital Association.Stormont Vail Health in Topeka, Kansas, devoted an entire hospital floor to COVID-19 patients as their numbers swelled, hitting 90 on Wednesday. The hospital also converted two surgery waiting rooms for use by non-infected patients, spokesman Matt Lara said.Kansas health chief Dr. Lee Norman said a system that he likened to air traffic control for coronavirus patients is being put in place so nurses from rural hospitals can make a single call to find a larger hospital that can take their sickest patients.In some cases, nurses and doctors in Kansas have been spending up to eight hours looking for a large hospital with an opening.Maryland health officials similarly set up a centralized clearinghouse with information on available ICU beds so that hospitals need only make a single phone call. State authorities also issued an emergency order prohibiting most hospital visitors until further notice.

UN watchdog: Breaching deal, Iran pumping uranium gas into advanced centrifuges-IAEA says Tehran is using advanced technology at underground Natatz plant prohibited by 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers-By TOI staff and Agencies-18 November 2020, 11:56 am

The UN’s atomic watchdog agency has reportedly found that Iran is pumping uranium gas into advanced centrifuges at an underground part of the Natanz nuclear facility, in the latest breach of the 2015 nuclear deal signed with world powers.The International Atomic Energy Agency reported in a document distributed to member countries that Iran is feeding uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas feedstock into the advanced IR-2m uranium-enriching centrifuges installed at the Natanz plant, Reuters reported Wednesday.“On 14 November 2020, the Agency verified that Iran began feeding UF6 into the recently installed cascade of 174 IR-2m centrifuges at the Fuel Enrichment Plant (FEP) in Natanz,” the IAEA report was quoted as saying.The nuclear deal Iran signed in 2015 with the United States, Germany, France, Britain, China and Russia, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, only allows Iran to use first-generation IR-1 machines, and states that those are the only ones it was allowed operate at Natanz’s underground plant.The report comes a week after the UN atomic watchdog said that Iran continues to increase its stockpile of low-enriched uranium far beyond the limits set in the nuclear deal and to enrich it to a greater purity than permitted.The IAEA also reported that Iran has also been continuing to enrich uranium to a purity of up to 4.5%, higher than the 3.67% allowed under the deal.Iran has openly announced a number of violations of the nuclear deal in advance, which have followed the decision by the US to pull out unilaterally in 2018.The deal promises Iran economic incentives in exchange for the curbs on its nuclear program. Since the US withdrawal and imposition of new sanctions, Tehran has been putting pressure on the remaining parties with the violations to come up with new ways to offset the economy-crippling actions by Washington.At the same time, the Iranian government has continued to allow International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors access to its nuclear facilities, a key reason the countries that remain parties to the JCPOA say it’s worth preserving.The goal of the agreement is to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon, something the country insists it does not intend to do.Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Tuesday that Tehran was willing to return to the 2015 nuclear deal if US President-elect Joe Biden lifts sanctions on Iran after entering the White House.US President Barack Obama, right, with Vice President Joe Biden, delivers remarks in the East Room of the White House in Washington on July 14, 2015, after an Iran nuclear deal is reached. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, Pool)-Biden pledged to return to the accord during his presidential campaign if Iran returns to fulfilling its commitments. Tehran began breaching the terms of the deal after President Donald Trump withdrew the US in 2018 and began sanctioning Iran.“We are ready to discuss how the United States can reenter the accord,” Zarif told Iranian media, according to a translation by Reuters.“If Mr. Biden is willing to fulfill US commitments, we too can immediately return to our full commitments in the accord… and negotiations are possible within the framework of the P5+1,” Zarif said, referring to the six world powers that signed onto the deal.Biden was vice president when former US president Barack Obama signed the deal with Iran.The Trump administration is reportedly planning an array of wide-ranging sanctions on Iran to make it more difficult for the incoming administration to reenter the deal.

Pompeo lands in Israel; set to make unprecedented visit to West Bank settlement-US secretary of state to meet with Netanyahu and Bahrain’s top diplomat, who is on his first trip to Israel; expected to tour Psagot settlement winery, which named a wine for him-By Agencies-nov 18,20-Today, 3:31 pm

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived in Israel on Wednesday for a trip that is expected to include a tour of a West Bank winery, the first time a top American diplomat has visited an Israeli settlement.Pompeo — who has backed US President Donald Trump in refusing to concede defeat to President-elect Joe Biden — is on a Europe and Middle East tour that has so far taken him to France, Turkey and Georgia.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has congratulated Biden, who has known the Israeli leader for many years, and on Tuesday referred to him as “president-elect.”Pompeo flew to Israel on the same day as the foreign minister of Bahrain, one of three Arab states that have agreed under US-brokered pacts to normalize relations with the Jewish state. Palestinians have decried as a “betrayal” the historic deals that Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates signed with Israel and that have since been matched in principle by Sudan.US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, left, greets US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his wife Susan as they arrive at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, Nov. 18, 2020 (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, Pool)-Pompeo was to meet Netanyahu and Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Abdellatif al-Zayani at the start of his two-day visit. His settlement visit has not been confirmed.Zayani said his own trip, the first official visit to the Jewish state by a Bahraini official, marked “a further step on our journey towards a better, more peaceful, more secure and more prosperous Middle East.”All three countries — and several other Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE — share a strong animosity toward Shiite Muslim regional power Iran over its nuclear program, its fueling of unrest from Syria and Iraq to Lebanon and Yemen, and its seeking of the destruction of Israel.

(AP Photo/Dan Balilty)-However, Pompeo said a year ago that the United States no longer considered Israeli settlements in the West Bank to be contrary to international law.Those comments were hailed by the Psagot vineyard, which has been fighting to keep the label “Israel” on its bottles, rather than the phrase “Israeli settlements” demanded by several European court rulings.The Psagot winery named a bottle after Pompeo to thank him for the move in February, and issued a statement saying he had recognized “the Jewish right to self-determination in our historical homeland.”Additionally, last year Pompeo visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem accompanied by Netanyahu, becoming the first US secretary of state to visit the capital’s Old City accompanied by a senior Israeli official.The West Bank visit could also burnish Pompeo’s credentials with evangelical Christians and other supporters of Israel should he pursue a post-Trump political career.The Falic family of Florida, owners of the ubiquitous chain of Duty Free Americas shops, is a major investor in the Psagot winery. An Associated Press investigation last year found that the family has donated at least $5.6 million to settler groups in the West Bank and East Jerusalem over the past decade. Since 2000, they have donated at least $1.7 million to pro-Israel politicians in the US, both Democrats and Republicans, including Trump.

Palestinians said to quietly return their ambassadors to UAE, Bahrain-Ramallah recalled its envoys to Manama and Abu Dhabi after the two countries announced their intention to normalize ties with Israel, decrying the deals as ‘a stab in the back’By TOI staff-nov 18,20-Today, 3:39 am

The Palestinian Authority has quietly returned its ambassadors to Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates after it recalled them in protest of the two states’ decision to normalize ties with Israel, according to media reports Wednesday.Ramallah did not officially confirm the reports, which were carried in Reuters, Saudi-backed al-Arabiya, and the major Palestinian news agency Ma’an. A spokesperson for the PA Foreign Ministry did not respond to a request for comment.The ambassadors to the Emirates and Bahrain were first recalled back in August and September, respectively, in the immediate aftermath of the Gulf states’ announcement that they were normalizing ties with Israel. The move infuriated the Palestinians, who condemned it as a “stab in the back” and a “betrayal.”“The Palestinian leadership rejects the actions of the Emirati government, considering it to be a betrayal of the Palestinian people and Jerusalem and al-Aqsa,” PA spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh said in a statement read aloud on Palestine TV in the immediate aftermath of the trilateral Emirati-Israeli-American announcement of the deal.PA President Mahmoud Abbas immediately ordered the PA Foreign Ministry to recall the Palestinian envoys to both countries. The attempt to bring diplomatic pressure to bear so as to force Abu Dhabi and Manama’s to retract their move, however, ultimately proved unsuccessful.Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas gives a pre-recorded speech aired at the UN General Assembly on September 25, 2020. (Screen capture: UN)-In mid-September, the Arab League struck down a draft resolution presented by the PA which would have condemned normalization with Israel. While the Palestinians attempted numerous strategies since then — such as beginning unity talks with its rival Hamas and engaging with the UAE’s regional rivals Turkey and Qatar — they bore little fruit,If the reports are confirmed, the move would be part of a sharp shift in regional strategy by the Palestinian Authority following Joe Biden’s victory in the US presidential elections.Ramallah has had a difficult relationship with US President Donald Trump, who they viewed as lopsidedly pro-Israel. Trump cut aid to the West Bank and Gaza, expelled the Palestinian envoy in Washington, and presented a peace plan which the Palestinians believed granted too many concessions to Israel.  The PA has boycotted his administration since 2017, when Trump announced that he would move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.Biden, by contrast, has opposed parts of Trump’s peace plan and pledged to undo some of the Trump-era policies most loathed by the Palestinians.In this file photo taken on October 8, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate former US Vice President Joe Biden pauses while speaking to supporters in front of an Arizona state flag, at the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America’s training center in Phoenix, Arizona. (Brendan Smialowski / AFP)-On Tuesday night, senior PA official Hussein al-Sheikh announced that Ramallah was renewing its ties with Israel. The announcement ended a six-month-long crisis which saw the tight security coordination between Israel and the Palestinians collapse and hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civil servants go without their full salaries.“We’re going off of what the new administration has announced in their campaign…they’ve said the Trump Peace Plan will be off the table, the [restoration of] the PLO mission and the East Jerusalem Consulate and UNWRA aid, and so on,” al-Sheikh said on Tuesday night.“This, for us, is not just a window, it’s a gate through which we can re-establish our relationship with the United States,” al-Sheikh said.The Kan Public Broadcaster also reported on Wednesday that the PA was also considering revising its policy of paying hundreds of millions of dollars in stipends paid out to Palestinians convicted of security offenses or the families of attackers.Israel has long sought to clamp down on the policy, which it says constitutes incitement to terrorism. But Ramallah has defended them numerous times in the past, describing them as a form of social welfare and compensation for what they claim is an unfair military justice system.

Republican senators urge Trump to label settlement goods as ‘Made in Israel’-Lawmakers say move would ‘push back against anti-Semitism and BDS movement,’ prevent future administrations from differentiating between Israel and West Bank-By Jacob Magid-nov 18,20-Today, 12:52 am

NEW YORK — A group of Republican senators sent a letter to US President Donald Trump urging him to alter US policy that differentiates between products manufactured on either side of the Green Line and instead allow West Bank settlement goods to be branded as having been “made in Israel.”“This decision would be yet another achievement by your administration that would support Israel and would push back against anti-Semitism and the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement,” wrote Senators Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio, Kelly Loeffler and Ted Cruz in a letter sent Monday.It has been longstanding US policy since 1967 to differentiate between Israel and the territories it conquered in the Six Day War. A 1995 Treasury Department guidance requiring goods from the West Bank or Gaza Strip to be labeled as such still remains in place today. The directive was republished in 2016 by the Obama administration, which warned that labeling goods as “made in Israel” could lead to fines.Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005.“While it is our understanding that this labeling policy is not enforced by US authorities, we are concerned that a future administration could choose to enforce these rules and thereby differentiate Israeli goods produced in Judea and Samaria, making them prime targets for BDS boycotts,” the senators wrote, referring to the West Bank by its biblical name.President Donald Trump, flanked by Sen.

(AP/Evan Vucci)-They added that the policy change would be an appropriate response to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights publishing of a “blacklist” of over 100 firms operating in the settlements.“Your administration should continue its string of pro-Israel policy changes by undoing these misguided Clinton-era guidelines,” the senators added.Cotton had sought to pass legislation mandating the policy change in 2016, but it failed to garner support in Congress.The Trump administration has already recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in 1967.The policy change demanded by the senators would be consistent with an agreement signed by the US and Israel earlier this month that removed all previous geographic restrictions from their scientific cooperation, a move viewed by some as a first step toward possible American recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank.Mike Pompeo is slated to become the first secretary of state to visit a settlement on Thursday when, according to the Axios news site, he will make a stop at the Psagot winery which unveiled a bottle of wine in his honor after he repudiated last year a 1978 State Department legal opinion maintaining that civilian settlements in the occupied territories are “inconsistent with international law.”The Trump administration also unveiled a peace plan in January that envisions Israel annexing all Israeli settlements and while the White House has refrained from giving its blessing for Jerusalem to carry out the move just yet against the backdrop of the recently signed normalization accord with the UAE, US officials have emphasized that they are principally in support of the controversial move.

Netanyahu said to ask US for okay to advance East Jerusalem building plans-PM reportedly intends to discuss constructing thousands of homes in Atarot with Pompeo, wanting to establish facts on the ground before Biden takes office-By TOI staff-18 November 2020, 10:52 pm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will reportedly ask the Trump administration for a green light to advance construction plans in an area of East Jerusalem.According to the Kan public broadcaster, Netanyahu told associates he intended to raise the matter with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who arrived in Jerusalem on Wednesday for a two-day visit.“I will ask the secretary of state to advance thousands of homes,” Netanyahu was quoted as saying.Unnamed sources who spoke with Netanyahu told the broadcaster that the premier wants to establish facts on the ground before US President-elect Joe Biden takes office in January.The Prime Minister’s Office declined to comment on Kan’s report.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (L) greets US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as he arrives at the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem on November 18, 2020.

(Debbie Hill, Pool via AP)-Bidding on the project in Givat Hamatos will run until January 18 — only two days before the relatively settlement-friendly Trump administration is replaced by that of Biden — when the government will announce which contractors won the bidding war.Coalition whip Miki Zohar, a Likud party ally of Netanyahu’s, seemed to imply Sunday that Netanyahu was utilizing Trump’s final days in office to pursue the controversial move, with the Biden administration likely to cast a far more baleful gaze upon such construction.Zohar is a member of the Land of Israel Caucus group, a cross-party lobby within parliament made up of right-wing lawmakers, which is currently collecting signatures on a petition calling on the prime minister to legalize some 70 illegal West Bank outposts, upping the pressure on Netanyahu to take advantage of the outgoing administration’s goodwill toward settlements.Pompeo is expected to visit a winery in a West Bank settlement during his visit, becoming the first high-ranking American official to do so.

As Bahrain FM visits Israel, countries agree to open embassies by year’s end-Gulf kingdom’s Foreign Minister Al-Zayani compares his ‘historic’ one-day trip to Jerusalem with Anwar Sadat’s breakthrough visit to Israel in 1977-By Raphael Ahren-18 November 2020, 2:45 pm

Bahrain has okayed Israel’s request to establish an embassy in Manama and is in turn seeking authorization to open an embassy in Israel, the Gulf country’s foreign minister said Wednesday, during a short visit to the Jewish state.The process should be completed by the end of the year, his Israeli counterpart, Gabi Ashkenazi, said at a joint press appearance at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem.“I was pleased to convey to Minister Ashkenazi the Kingdom of Bahrain’s formal request to open an embassy in Israel, and to inform him that Israel’s reciprocal request for an embassy in Manama has been approved,” Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani said. “This is a process which I hope can now move forward relatively quickly.”He is the first-ever Bahraini minister to visit Israel. Ashkenazi is set to make a reciprocal visit early next month.Ashkenazi said he and his guest had agreed to open embassies in both countries as soon as possible. “I hope that by the end of the year we will be able to hold ceremonies to mark their openings,” he said, adding that he plans to visit Manama in December to personally open the mission.He also announced that Bahraini citizens will be able to apply online for visas to Israel starting December 1.“We will soon start direct flights between our countries allowing our citizens to visit and learn more about our wonderful countries,” he added. “Israeli and Bahraini businessmen and investors will sit together and find ways to cooperate and build partnerships that will bring prosperity to our countries.”Ashkenazi also welcomed the Palestinian Authority’s decision, announced Tuesday, to resume cooperation with Israel. “Our door is open to renew negotiations and I urge the Palestinians to step through this door with no preconditions,” he said.It was the two foreign ministers’ first face-to-face meeting, but Ashkenazi said they have become “close friends” since their first conversation several months ago.“But we are more than friends. We are also partners that share a vision, a goal and a commitment,” he added. “We have a vision of prosperity, peace and security for our region. We are united by the goal of delivering the fruits of peace to our people.”Al-Zayani echoed those sentiments, and even compared his “historic” one-day trip to Israel with Egyptian president Anwar Sadat’s November 1977 visit to Jerusalem.“You know, 43 years ago, almost to the day 43 years ago, on November 19, 1977, the late president Sadat of Egypt first visited Israeli, planting the seeds of regional peace, which we are nurturing further today. So I think it is fitting that I am making this visit so near that anniversary, because I arrive here from a country that is convinced of the importance of peace.”Egyptian President Anwar Sadat lands in Israel on November 19, 1977 (Moshe Milner/GPO archive)-The Bahraini top diplomat further said that he was encouraged by the “open and constructive atmosphere” in which his talks with Israeli officials have taken place. “There is a clear keenness on both sides to make this cooperation work and to demonstrate this can have clear positive benefits for our countries and the region.”Al Zayani landed in Tel Aviv earlier on Wednesday on the first-ever nonstop passenger flight from Bahrain to Israel. He was joined on the Gulf Air plane by a senior US delegation, headed by the outgoing administration’s top peace negotiator, Avi Berkowitz.Al-Zayani’s delegation — which includes various senior officials, including a deputy foreign minister, the head of Bahrain’s civil aviation and journalists — was greeted at the airport by Ashkenazi.To some extent, al-Zayani has been the public face of Bahrain’s normalization process with Israel. He, like his counterpart from the United Arab Emirates, signed the so-called Abraham Accords and a “Declaration of Peace” with Israel at a September 15 ceremony at the White House.On October 25, he signed eight bilateral agreements, including a “Joint Communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic, peaceful, and friendly relations” with Israel during a ceremony in Manama.

(Matty Stern/US Embassy Jerusalem)-Later on Wednesday, President Reuven Rivlin hosted the Bahraini top diplomat at his Jerusalem residence, where Al-Zayani signed the visitors’ book and delivered remarks to the press.“I’m very, very excited that our two nations have shown the world that there is also a time for peace,” Rivlin said. “This is a new era of friendship, of cooperation, of partnership and I welcome you to Jerusalem in this spirit, as a friend.”The president said the normalization agreements with Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates “showed that peace is possible” and issued a direct appeal to the Palestinian Authority.

We are all sons of Abraham,” Rivlin said.He also invited Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa to visit Israel.Al-Zayani said Bahrain and Israel must work to show the benefits of peace to other countries.“The peoples of the Middle East deserve no less than achieving peace for all and achieving prosperity,” he said.Al-Zayani was later set to head to the Prime Minister’s Office for a series of meetings, including a one-on-one meeting with Netanyahu and a tripartite meeting with Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Ashkenazi will also attend the latter meeting.

Berkowitz’s delegation includes a handful of US senior National Security Council officials.After another meeting with Ashkenazi at around 8 p.m., al-Zayani is scheduled to head back to Manama at around 10:30 p.m., after only 12 hours on the ground.

In a rare move, IDF releases video of predawn strikes on Iranian, Syrian targets-Military shows footage of missiles hitting 3 of the 8 sites it says it targeted in Syria in response to an attempted attack on the Golan border-By Judah Ari Gross-nov 18,20-Today, 7:55 pm

The Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday night released footage of some of its predawn airstrikes against Iranian and Syrian military sites in southern Syria, which came in response to an attempted attack on Israeli troops that was thwarted the day before.The video (above) showed the attacks on three of the eight targets struck by the Israeli military in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The military did not specify the location of the three sites, but they appeared to be military positions on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.In the footage, incoming Israeli missiles are seen striking targets, causing large explosions.The military said it bombed “warehouses, command posts and military complexes, as well as batteries of surface-to-air missiles” in its early morning retaliatory strikes.Syrian state media reported that three Syrian soldiers were killed in the strikes.The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a pro-opposition organization based in the United Kingdom, said 10 people in total were killed in the Israeli strikes, some of them Iranian. This could not be immediately confirmed and was not reported by other groups in Syria. The Observatory has in the past been accused of inflating and even inventing casualty figures.In general, Israel does not intentionally target people in its strikes, instead focusing on infrastructure, as this has been found to reduce the likelihood of retaliation by Iran and its proxies.On Tuesday, IDF combat engineers disarmed three anti-personnel mines within Israeli territory, near the Syrian border, which the military believes were planted by Syrian nationals on behalf of Iran several weeks before.Three anti-personnel mines that Israel says were planted inside Israeli-controlled territory along the border with Syria, which were uncovered on November 17, 2020. (Israel Defense Forces)-“We will not allow Iran to establish itself militarily in Syria against us, and we won’t allow any attempt to attack us from Syria. Whoever attacks us — their blood is on their head,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video statement.Netanyahu said the IDF struck “significant” targets connected to Iran and the Syrian military.IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman said the targets included a barracks used by senior Iranian officers outside Damascus and a base used by Iran to orchestrate its activities in the country next to the Damascus International Airport. These strikes did not appear in the video footage.The IDF generally maintains a policy of ambiguity regarding its activities against Iran and its proxies in Syria, refusing to publicly acknowledge its actions, with the exception of retaliations to attacks, as was the case this week.The military has in the past released video footage of its strikes in Syria that are in response to attacks from the country.Zilberman told reporters on Wednesday that the retaliatory strikes were intended as both a message to Iran that “we won’t allow Iranian entrenchment at all and next to the border specifically,” and a message to Syria that it will be held responsible for allowing Tehran to maintain a presence in its country.The spokesman said that Israel tried to send a similar message to Iran and Syria in August after a previous attempt to plant bombs along the border, but it evidently “wasn’t received.”Three anti-personnel mines that Israel says were planted inside Israeli-controlled territory along the border with Syria, which were uncovered on November 17, 2020. (Israel Defense Forces)-Zilberman said the military was prepared for the possibility of retaliation from Iran or Syria, with Iron Dome and other air defense systems on high alert.Israel views a permanent Iranian military presence in Syria as an unacceptable threat, which it will take military action to prevent.Defense Minister Benny Gantz threatened further action if Iran again attempted to carry out attacks on Israeli forces or continued to establish a permanent military presence in Syria.“The IDF last night struck military targets belonging to the Iranian Quds Force and the Syrian military in response to the planting of bombs on the Syrian border within Israeli territory. I say again to our enemies: Israel will not accept violations of our sovereignty anywhere, and we will not allow a dangerous force build-up on any border,” Gantz said in a Hebrew video statement.According to the spokesman, the military knew there were Iranian officers in the barracks when the attack was carried out, but did not specifically target them or the areas in the building where they were located.A map showing the approximate location of where Israel says three anti-personnel mines were planted by Syrian nationals working on behalf of Iran, in a buffer zone between the ceasefire line between Israel and Syria and a security fence, on November 17, 2020. (Israel Defense Forces)-According to Zilberman, the three Claymore-style mines planted along the border were set there by Syrian nationals who live near the border, at the instruction of the IRGC Quds Force. The mines were uncovered in a buffer zone near the border that is under Israeli control but is on the Syrian side of the security fence, where the IDF regularly conducts patrols, indicating that the explosives were meant to be used against soldiers.It was the same area where Iranian-backed Syrian operatives tried to plant mines in August, though in that case the four men were spotted by the IDF at the time and killed.Since that attempt, the IDF has more closely monitored the area to prevent a similar attack.Zilberman said the military did not yet know when the three mines were planted along the border, but that it seemed to have been several weeks ago. The IDF was investigating how the Iranian-backed operatives were able to evade detection and plant the bombs.On Tuesday morning, the IDF sent a team of combat engineers into the area to disarm the mines.Zilberman said the military called on the UN peacekeeping force that is meant to maintain the 1974 ceasefire between Israel and Syria to prevent such attacks in the future.The IDF has launched hundreds of strikes in Syria since the start of the civil war in 2011 against moves by Iran to establish a permanent military presence in the country and efforts to transport advanced, game-changing weapons to terrorist groups in the region, principally Hezbollah.

US hits Iran with new sanctions as Pompeo warns against easing pressure-In apparent message to Biden administration, US secretary of state says lifting sanctions would ‘weaken new partnerships for peace in the region’ and only benefit Tehran-By AP-nov 18,20-Today, 7:55 pm

WASHINGTON — The United States hit Iran with new sanctions on Wednesday, as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made the case that undoing the actions of the Trump administration would be foolish and dangerous.The Treasury and State departments announced they had targeted a leading Iranian charity and numerous of its affiliates for human rights violations. At the same time, Pompeo released a statement titled “The Importance of Sanctions on Iran,” which argued that the Trump administration’s moves against Iran made the world safer and should not be reversed.The sanctions announced Wednesday target Iran’s Mostazafan Foundation and roughly 160 of its subsidiaries, which are alleged to provide material support to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for malign activities, including the suppression of dissent.“While (it) is ostensibly a charitable organization charged with providing benefits to the poor and oppressed, its holdings are expropriated from the Iranian people and are used by the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to enrich his office, reward his political allies, and persecute the regime’s enemies,” Treasury said in a statement.Iranian Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi smiles at the end of his press briefing after registering his candidacy for the Experts Assembly elections at the interior ministry in Tehran, December 19, 2015. (AP Photo/Ebrahim Noroozi)-Also targeted was Iran’s Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi, who it said “played a central role in the Iranian regime’s human rights abuses against Iranian citizens.”Many of the sanctions supplement previously announced penalties by simply adding another layer to them. But they come as the administration seeks to ramp up pressure on Iran before President-elect Joe Biden takes office. Biden has said he wants to return to the rapprochement with Iran that started in the Obama administration but was ended by outgoing President Donald Trump.In an apparent nod to the incoming Biden administration’s stated plans to rejoin or renegotiated the 2015 Iran nuclear deal that Trump withdrew from, Pompeo said sanctions imposed against Iran had been “extraordinarily effective” in reducing the threat from the country. He said they had slashed Iran’s revenue by hundreds of billions of dollars since the pullout in 2018.“Sanctions are part of the pressures creating a new Middle East, bringing together countries that suffer the consequences of Iran’s violence and seek a region more peaceful and stable than before,” he said in a statement. “Reducing that pressure is a dangerous choice, bound to weaken new partnerships for peace in the region and strengthen only the Islamic Republic.”Then-US vice president Joe Biden discusses the Iran nuclear deal with Jewish community leaders at the David Posnack Jewish Community Center in Davie, Florida, September 3, 2015. (AP/Joel Auerbach)-Pompeo said that in its remaining time, the Trump administration would continue to impose sanctions on Iran as well as on foreign governments and companies that violate them.“Throughout the coming weeks and months, we will impose new sanctions on Iran, including using our nuclear, counterterrorism, and human rights authorities, each reflecting the wide range of malign behavior that continues to emanate from the Iranian regime,” he said. “These sanctions are a critical tool of national security to preserve the safety of the region and to protect American lives.”The announcement came as Pompeo was visiting Israel.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

Gantz welcomes renewed Palestinian security ties, calls for peace talks-Defense minister says he made ‘considerable efforts’ to restore coordination, which he calls a ‘shared interest’ for both Israelis and Palestinians-By Judah Ari Gross and TOI staff-nov 18,20-    Today, 7:26 pm

Defense Minister Benny Gantz on Wednesday praised the Palestinian Authority’s decision to resume security cooperation with Israel, saying the move benefited both Israelis and Palestinians.“Over the past few weeks I dedicated considerable efforts to renewing the security cooperation with the Palestinians. Yesterday, after weeks of disconnect, Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Kamil Abu Rukun informed me that the Palestinian Authority was interested in restoring them,” Gantz said in a statement.“Coordination is a shared interest, beneficial to the security of Israel’s citizens, and critical to the welfare and economic well-being of the Palestinians. Over the coming days, we will get working procedures in place to support the resumption of coordination,” he added.The defense minister also called for the PA to restart peace talks with Israel.“I, once again, call upon the Palestinian leadership to get back to the negotiating table, which is both a primary Israeli security interest and the most promising route to a more stable and prosperous future for our region,” he said.Palestinian security forces man a roadblock at the entrance to the West Bank city of Bethlehem, March 19, 2020. (Wisam Hashlamoun/Flash90)-Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, the No. 2 in Gantz’s Blue and White party, similarly welcomed the Palestinian Authority’s decision.“Our door is open to renewing negotiations and I urge the Palestinians to step through this door with no preconditions,” Ashkenazi said during a meeting in Jerusalem earlier Wednesday with his Bahraini counterpart Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani, who also called for renewed peace talks.The PA said Tuesday it would renew security and civil ties with Israel, six months after severing them over Israel’s plans to annex parts of the West Bank, a move that has since been shelved.The announcement came days after the US presidential election was won by Democratic challenger Joe Biden, who Ramallah anticipates will prove more empathetic to their cause than President Donald Trump. The PA severed all dealings with the Trump administration three years ago.Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas during a Security Council meeting at United Nations headquarters, February 11, 2020. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)-The severing of the ties with Israel came in May, after PA President Mahmoud Abbas announced that the Palestinians were no longer bound by agreements with Israel and the US, citing Israel’s declared intention to annex parts of the West Bank. Abbas had made similar threats for years to end security ties with Israel, but failed to follow through.Israel suspended the annexation plan in August as part of a normalization deal with the United Arab Emirates. But the PA delayed renewing ties with Israel, reportedly believing that as long as Trump was in office, annexation was not fully off the table.The renewal of ties also means that Ramallah will again accept tax revenues which Israel collects on its behalf. The so-called “clearance revenues” constitute around 60 percent of the PA’s budget. Ramallah had ceased accepting the tax transfers from Israel in late May, also in protest of annexation.Without the tax money, the PA suffered an acute financial crisis. The PA has not paid its employees full salaries for months. Public sector salaries constitute around 20% of the West Bank’s GDP. Without them, many West Bank residents struggled to get by.Aaron Boxerman contributed to this report.

In Jerusalem, Bahrain FM urges Israelis and Palestinians to resume peace talks-Conflict ‘needs to be resolved’ based on two-state solution, al-Zayani says during first Israel trip, as Netanyahu hails ‘important milestone’ on the road to peace in the region-By Raphael Ahren-nov 18,20-Today, 6:32 pm

In his first visit to Jerusalem, Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid al-Zayani on Wednesday called for the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, indicating that the region will only know true peace with the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.Delivering a statement alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, al-Zayani said he hopes the emerging cooperation between Israel and Bahrain would “pave the way for a dawn of peace for the entire Middle East.”To this end, he added, “I continue to emphasize, in all my meetings, that in order to achieve and consolidate such peace, the Palestinian-Israel conflict needs to be resolved. I therefore call for both parties to get around the negotiating table to achieve a viable two-state solution, as is also sought by the international community.”Zayani is the first minister from the tiny Gulf kingdom to visit Israel, about two months after the two countries agreed to establish diplomatic relations.In that short period of time, Jerusalem and Manama made “considerable progress” on the path to a more stable region based on peace, dialogue and understanding, Bahrain’s top diplomat said.“Equally, we are demonstrating what is possible, outlining a positive goal and bringing a new sense of optimism for the future of the Middle East,” he added.“I am very much looking forward to building on this historic progress and am convinced that we have an opportunity to build cooperation, tolerance, coexistence and trust — not only between our two nations, but between all children of Abraham. In doing so, let us deliver a peace that ensures a safe, stable and prosperous Middle East for all its peoples. Our region deserves no less,” he said.From left to right: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani at the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem. (Amos Ben Gershom/GPO)-In their respective speeches, delivered ahead of a tripartite meeting at the prime minister’s Balfour Street residence, Netanyahu and Pompeo hailed Israel’s recent normalization agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain — known as the Abraham Accords — and Sudan, but did not explicitly refer to the Palestinians.“Three peace agreements in six weeks. I don’t think it gets much better than that,” Netanyahu said. “Today we’re making history again. This is the first-ever official ministerial visit from the Kingdom of Bahrain to the State of Israel. It marks another important milestone on the road to peace between our two countries — and peace in the region.”Jerusalem and Manama are advancing their growing cooperation in various areas “with “astonishing speed,” he went on. “Israelis are flying to Bahrain; Bahrainis are flying to Israel. The sky is no longer the limit.”Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, left, welcomes Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Netanyahu said he and Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa “are building a bridge of peace that many others will cross in the future.” He concluded his speech by describing al-Zayani’s visit as “another historic step on the road to a broader peace.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani in Jerusalem, November 18, 2020. (Amos Ben Gershom/GPO) Kobi Gideon / GPO-Pompeo, who had arrived in Israel earlier Wednesday afternoon and will remain in the country until Friday, hailed Israel’s agreements with the UAE, Bahrain and Sudan, hoping “there would be many more to follow.”The Abraham Accords have many benefits, including showing the leaders of Iran that “their influence in the region is waning and that they are ever-more isolated, and this shall forever be, until they change their direction,” said the outgoing US secretary of state.All three leaders hailed the Israel-Bahraini agreement to open reciprocal embassies in both countries.Earlier on Wednesday, al-Zayani announced, in a meeting with Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, that Bahrain has okayed Israel’s request to establish an embassy in Manama and is in turn seeking authorization to open an embassy in Israel.“This is a process which I hope can now move forward relatively quickly,” he said.Ashkenazi said he and his guest had agreed to open embassies in both countries as soon as possible. “I hope that by the end of the year we will be able to hold ceremonies to mark their openings,” he said, adding that he plans to visit Manama in December to personally open the mission.Al-Zayani was also hosted by President Reuven Rivlin, who brought up the Israeli-Palestinian question as well.President Reuven Rivlin (R) and Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem on November 18, 2020. (Mark Neyman/GPO)-“We have a lot we can do together, for the future of all peoples. And when I say, that we want a better future, for all peoples, I also include, of course, our neighbors the Palestinians,” Rivlin said. “The new friendship between Israel and Bahrain and others in our region makes clear that peace is possible, and that the world will not wait. So, I make clear to the Palestinian people that Israel wants to live in peace in this region.”Israelis and Palestinians are destined to live together, he went on. “It is time to build trust and to make peace,” he went on.Al-Zayani replied by saying that the Bahraini people seek the same things as Israelis, namely peace, tolerance and co-existence. “These are values that King Hamad [bin Isa Al Khalifa] is working on spreading around the region. We are confident that we can succeed,” he said. “The path of peace is not easy. As partners, we can overcome them and show the fruits of peace among nations.”Al-Zayani is scheduled to head back to Manama at around 10:30 p.m., after only 12 hours on the ground.
