Many of you may have seen these photos on my Facebook page late last night, but just in case, I’ll post them here. For those who saw it live, some noticed a bright almost orange (what seemed to be a) star to the Northeast of the moon. Turns out it was Mars- visible to the naked eye!

Headline: Temple Mount: Jews Arrested Attempting to Bring Pesach Sacrifice
Eight Jews were arrested Monday for attempting to sacrifice a goat on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Judaism’s holiest site. The group were making their way to the Mount in order to carry out the Pesach (Passover) Sacrifice, known as the Korban Pesach, on the eve of the seven-day festival. By order of the Islamic Waqf authorities who administer the site, Jews are forbidden from praying or carrying out any other religious rituals on their holiest site, in what activists have repeatedly condemned as a capitulation by police to Muslim extremists. Nationalist activist Noam Federman, who was among those detained, slammed the arrests as an “embarrassment” to the State of Israel. “It is a mark of shame that the government of Israel is directing a regime of racism against Jews on the Temple Mount. They [Jews] are forbidden to pray and even prevented from carrying out the mitzvot (Torah commandments) of the Festival (of Pesach).”

Headline: Attack on Israeli Army post by right-wing Jewish settlers brings fear of a new threat
Headline:Border Police force takes over Yitzhar yeshiva- ORIGINAL STORY FROM APRIL 11TH
Israelis are concerned by growing tension caused by the collapsing peace talks and by renewed calls from some in the international community to boycott their country. But many people appear significantly more troubled by last week’s shocking attack by a community of right-wing Jewish settlers in the West Bank on an army outpost that was there to protect them. “The nationalist crimes will develop into terrorism, and that would be a significant threat to the State of Israel,” Benny Gantz, chief of staff of the Israel Defense Force, said in an interview Monday on Israel Radio. “I am hurt on behalf of the fighters in the field, who risk their lives for security, if this is the answer they receive.” Gantz was speaking about last week’s violent incident in the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar that resulted in the burning to the ground of the army outpost manned by six reservist soldiers.

Headline:U.S. condemns West Bank shooting; Netanyahu: Attack result of PA incitement
Headline:Hamas praises deadly West Bank shooting
The U.S. condemned the shooting attack Monday night near Hebron, in which an Israeli man was killed on Monday night. The State Department said on Tuesday that it “supports Israel’s efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered the bereaved family his condolences, and said that the attack was a direct result of the Palestinian Authority’s incitement. “The Palestinian Authority keeps broadcasting on its official channels messages which incite against the existence of the state of Israel,” Netanyahu said. “Last night, this incitement translated into a murder of a father who was driving with his family to celebrate the Seder.” He also criticized the PA for not condemning the “heinous, criminal act.” Meanwhile, The prime minister of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Tuesday praised a shooting that killed an Israeli and wounded his wife and son as they drove through the West Bank the previous evening en route to a Passover Seder. Speaking in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh said the attack outside the city of Hebron “brought back life to the path of resistance” against Israel and warned of more attacks in the Palestinian territory.

Headline: Time for US to forsake peace efforts, New York Times says
An editorial in Tuesday’s New York Times called on the US government to abandon its mediation efforts between Israelis and Palestinians and focus on “other major international challenges,” asserting that no amount of American pushing and shoving could succeed when the two sides were reluctant to make peace themselves. In the opinion piece, titled “In the Middle East, Time to Move On,” the paper stated that US President Barack Obama “made the right decision to give (peacemaking) a second try last summer” but said it had now become clear that the sides “are still unwilling to move on the core issues of the borders of a Palestinian state, the future of Jerusalem, the fate of Palestinian refugees and guarantees for Israel’s security.” In the current climate, the editorial reasoned, continued efforts were futile. It suggested that Washington outline its principles for a viable, lasting peace agreement — a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders with mutually agreed land swaps; an agreement that Jerusalem will be the capital of both nations — and then redirect its foreign policy efforts to other pressing global issues, such as the ongoing military tensions between Russia and Ukraine. Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department said that Israeli and Palestinian negotiators will meet again on Wednesday. “They are working on an agreement to extend peace talks,” it said.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has spoken separately with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to encourage them to keep alive the faltering peace process. Ban spoke to the pair individually by telephone on Sunday, amid fears the US-backed peace talks are close to collapse. The United Nations chief “strongly encouraged both sides to continue to negotiate constructively,” spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Monday. He also “expressed the hope that the two leaders seize the opportunity offered by US efforts to find a way to move towards a two-state solution,” Dujarric added.

Headline: Abbas to meet with members of Knesset in Ramallah
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is set to meet with members of the Knesset on Wednesday, to discuss the current crisis in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. A small group of Knesset MKs, including opposition and coalition members, will travel to Ramallah to meet directly with the PA president and together come up with solutions to overcome obstacles, a statement from the Labor MK Hilik Bar read. During the meeting, Abbas is expected to present options to the MKs about extending negotiations, and will hear the MKs ideas for working through the current stall in talks. Labor MK Hilik Bar said “the purpose of the meeting on Wednesday is to let members of the Knesset hear directly, without the intervention of negotiators, the Palestinian Authority’s stance on the crisis in peace negotiations, and possible solutions to overcome them.”

Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! 2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. 4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
Headline: Jordanian envoy kidnapped in Libya attack
Jordan’s ambassador to Libya has been abducted by masked gunmen in the capital, Tripoli, officials say. Assailants opened fire on Fawaz al-Itan’s vehicle, wounding the driver, as they left his house early on Tuesday. They then drove away with the diplomat. The Libyan and Jordanian governments have so far received no demands. Libyan foreign ministry spokesman Said al-Aswad said it had nothing it could confirm regarding the reasons why Mr Itan had been kidnapped. No-one had claimed responsibility or issued demands, he added. Jordanian Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour called on the Libyan authorities to do everything possible to secure Mr Itan’s release. “The Jordanian government holds the kidnapping party responsible for the safety of the ambassador and will take all necessary measures to protect his life and release him,” he told parliament in Amman.

Headline: Concerned for stability, Saudi Arabia tightens curbs on dissent
Saudi Arabia, rattled by regional turmoil that has destabilized the Middle East, is intensifying a crackdown on domestic dissent, raising fears that a more open space for public debate that emerged in recent years is under threat. Sunni Islamists, Shi’ite Muslims, liberal reformers, atheists and human rights advocates have all been targeted through a series of arrests and new laws in what one activist has described as an “undeclared state of emergency”. Social media, and what analysts describe as King Abdullah’s efforts to foster a more open atmosphere since the turn of the century, have given Saudis greater scope than ever before to criticize the authorities and discuss topics once seen as taboo. However, since the 2011 Arab uprisings, the world’s No. 1 oil exporter, has taken a far harsher line against many forms of dissent, jailing liberal reformers and religious critics on charges ranging from sedition to jeopardizing state security.

Headline:Saudi Arabia denies Lieberman’s claim of secret diplomacy
Saudi Arabia denied it is holding secret talks with Israel, after Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said he is in communication with Arab states that do not recognize it, looking to establish diplomatic ties based on a common fear of Iran. A spokesman for Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry said: “There are no ties or talks with Israel at any level.” Amongst the countries he was in contact with were Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, Lieberman told newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth – the first such disclosure by a senior Israeli official. Kuwait was not immediately available for comment.

Headline: Bomb wounds two police officers in Cairo
A bomb attack wounded two policemen in central Cairo on Tuesday, state television reported. The unknown assailants targeted a traffic police checkpoint, state television said. Since the army toppled Egypt’s first freely-elected president, Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, in July, Islamist militants have stepped up attacks on security forces, killing hundreds. The violence has scared away investors, hammering the economy of the biggest Arab state. An Islamist insurgency in the Sinai Peninsula which has defied an army crackdown has spread to Cairo and other cities as the country prepares for presidential elections next month.

Headline:Syria army launches assault in besieged Homs
Syrian army troops backed by pro-regime militiamen entered rebel-held neighborhoods of the central city of Homs on Tuesday after laying siege to the districts for nearly two years. It comes a day after the regime seized the Christian town of Maalula in the Qalamun region and as media reported the country would soon move into election mode. “The Syrian army and the (pro-regime militia) National Defence Forces have achieved key successes in the Old City of Homs,” Syrian state television said. It added that troops were advancing in several besieged neighbourhoods in the area, and had “killed a number of terrorists,” using the regime’s term for opponents of President Bashar al-Assad. Activists on the ground and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights NGO both confirmed the operation.

Headline: Syria: US, Israel, Turkey to blame for past, future chemical attacks
Syrian rebels fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad for the first time received at least 20 US-made TOW anti-tank missiles from a “Western source,” a rebel official told AFP Tuesday. “Moderate, well-organised fighters from the Hazm movement have for the first time received more than 20 TOW anti-tank missiles from a Western source,” the source said on condition of anonymity, and without specifying who had supplied the rockets. The Hazm movement, part of the opposition Free Syrian Army, brings together mainly ex-army officers and soldiers who defected from the military to join the revolt. “More have been promised should it be proven that the missiles are being used in an effective way,” the source said. “Dozens of fighters have been trained with international assistance in the use of these missiles,” the rebel said, adding that the weapons have been used in flashpoint areas of Idlib, Aleppo and Latakia provinces in the north. Meanwhile, The Syrian government has blamed various foes of Damascus – including Israel and the US – for the string of reported chemical attacks in the embattled country over the past year along with any that might occur in the future, Syrian state news agency SANA reported Tuesday.

Headline:Iran equips destroyers with anti-ship missiles
Iran has outfitted its destroyers and warships with Ghadir cruise missiles, the country’s Fars news agency reported Monday. “Ghadir cruise missiles have been mounted on both Navy destroyers and missile-launching warships and they are also used as coast-to-sea missiles,” the news agency quoted the commander of Iran’s navy, Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, as saying. According to Sayyari, the Ghadir missile is a surface-to-surface projectile which has a longer range than the country’s previous missile systems. It also has more destructive fire power and greater precision than other anti-ship systems mounted on Iranian destroyers, such as Nour and Qader. Speaking at a ceremony to inaugurate the newly-overhauled destroyer Bayandor in the major southern port of Bandar Abbas, Sayyari said Iran would use the missile mostly for coast-to-sea fire.
