Headline: Irish parliament backs recognition of Palestinian state
Headline: French Senate Votes to Recognize ‘Palestine’
Irish lawmakers urged their government Wednesday to recognise Palestine as a state in a symbolic motion that sailed through parliament unopposed. Ireland’s parliament is the fourth European assembly to call for the recognition of Palestinian statehood since October. Lawmakers in France, Britain and Spain also endorsed similar motions, reflecting growing frustration with the deadlocked Middle East peace process. Sweden has gone even further, officially recognising Palestine as a state in a move that prompted Israel to recall its ambassador. The non-binding motion agreed by lawmakers in Dublin called on the government to “officially recognise the State of Palestine, on the basis of the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the capital, as established in UN resolutions”. This would be “a further positive contribution to securing a negotiated two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict”, it added.

Headline: Death of PA official following clash with IDF prompts Gantz to beef up West Bank forces
Headline: Iran Condemns Israel’s ‘Assassination’ of PA Minister
Security forces braced for violence, and officials prepared for an international backlash after senior Palestinian Authority official Ziad Abu Ein died soon after a confrontation with the IDF in the West Bank. Thousands of Palestinians massed Thursday to mourn a senior official who was killed by Israeli troops, while the army sent reinforcements and dispersed protesters in the West Bank. Palestinian officials in Ramallah said they were not ruling out the possibility that the PA leadership would decide to suspend security coordination with Israel to protest Abu Ein’s death. An autopsy is expected to determine whether his death was the result of a heart attack or IDF violence. Abu Ein headed the PLO’s Commission Against the Separation Wall and Settlements. He had been taking part in a demonstration outside the Palestinian village of Turmus Aiya, near Ramallah, to mark International Human Rights Day. The participants planned to plant olive trees. The IDF authorized the demonstration, but soldiers stepped in when participants moved close to the outpost of Adei Ad. A shouting match broke out between soldiers and Abu Ein, during which he fell to the ground. It is unclear whether he was pushed or fell. Video clips from the incident show him holding his chest and gasping. Soldiers also fired a number of stun grenades and tear gas canisters. Video clips show Abu Ein collapsing as he tries to get up from the ground. He was rushed to a Ramallah hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

“Do not keep silent, O God! 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.” (Psalm 83)
Lebanon
Headline: ISIS commander urges fight against Hezbollah inside Lebanon
An ISIS commander whose wife was recently arrested by the Lebanese Army has called on jihadi militants to fight Hezbollah inside Lebanon, accusing the Lebanese government of being an accomplice to the powerful movement. Anas Sharkas, better known by his nom de guerre Abu Ali al-Shishani, said in an interview published Wednesday in daily Al-Akhbar that Hezbollah “has taken Iran as its god,” and had entered Syria to massacre its men and harass its women. “I call upon all the jihadis to move (the battle) to Lebanon to break Hezbollah because it is massacring our women, children and men, while its women and children enjoy security,” Sharkas said. “If we want to succeed, we have to fight the kin of those who are killing us in Lebanon,” he added. Sharkas, a Circassian Syrian from the town of Qusayr where Hezbollah fought alongside the Syrian army in fierce battles against the rebels last year, said the Lebanese government was unfit to govern, “and in the worst case, a subordinate of Hezbollah.”

The Egyptian Army has launched ground operations in the heart of the Islamic insurgency in the Sinai Peninsula. Security sources said the army has sent commando units to attack suspected strongholds of Ansar Beit Maqdis in the Sinai town of Sheik Zweid. They said the commandos, backed by air and armor support, were targeting bunkers and tunnels in Sheik Zweid, located along the Egyptian border with the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. “This is a major achievement for the army and security forces,” a source said. On Dec. 10, at least five Ansar fighters were killed in an army operation in Sheik Zweid. The sources said commando units destroyed 15 bunkers and tunnels as well as two vehicles. “The operation was based on improved intelligence and cooperation from local residents,” the source said. For more than a year, the army and Central Security Forces failed to penetrate Sheik Zweid. The sources said Ansar and Bedouin allies ringed the town with improvised explosive devices as well as tunnels, meant to rapidly detect any army approach.

Syria Headline: Missile Attack In Syria Kills Three Journalists, Attack Blamed On Assad’s Forces: Report
A missile attack in southwestern Syria killed three journalists working for a network opposed to Bashar Assad’s regime, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), said late Tuesday. The U.S.-based media advocacy group said that the attack happened Monday near the town of Sheikh Meskin, which is at the center of clashes between rebels and government forces. CPJ cited the news network, Orient News, which claimed that forces loyal to Assad had carried out the attack on the journalists. The network identified the dead journalists as correspondents Rami Asmi and Yousef El-Dous, and cameraperson Salem Khalil. The three were reportedly travelling to cover the advances being made by the opposition forces, when their car was hit by a missile fired by government forces, according to CPJ, which added that it was unable to independently verify the claims. Orient News and Siraj Press, another opposition news agency, reportedly said that the missile was launched from the town of Qarfa, which lies about two miles from Sheikh Meskin. “So many Syrian journalists have paid the ultimate price for reporting on this conflict, but even for Syria, the loss of three journalists in one attack is devastating,” Sherif Mansour, CPJ’s Middle East and North Africa program coordinator, said, in a statement from the group, adding: “Journalists covering conflict are civilians and we call on Syrian authorities to respect that status.”

Iraq Headline: Iraq army, volunteers retake key district near Samara from ISIL
The Iraqi army, backed by Sunni and Shia volunteer fighters, has regained a key district near the city of Samarra from the ISIL Takfiri terrorists. The Iraqi forces along with the volunteers managed to liberate Mutassim district after heavy clashes with the Takfiri terrorists in that district on Thursday. Fighting is now reportedly still underway in Makeshifah, north of Samara. Earlier in the day, the Takfiri terrorists targeted the holy city with a dozen mortar shells and 15 rockets. Samara, located 125 kilometers north of the capital, Baghdad, has recently come under intensified attacks by the ISIL terrorist group. Following the recent terrorist attack near the holy Iraqi city, Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Shia Sadrist Movement in Iraq, ordered the armed volunteers under his command to prepare for a military campaign.

According to Anadolu, Iraqi armed forces started a military operation against IS in Anbar on Thursday morning with the aim of retaking Hiit. The pro-government tribal fighters supported the armed forces in their operation.

Headline: ISIS reportedly trying to sell the body of beheaded journalist James Foley
Intermediaries with ties to the Islamic State reportedly are looking to sell the remains of American journalist James Foley to his family for $1 million. Foley was beheaded by ISIS in August. His death was the first in a series of executions of Western hostages carried out by the terror group. Three sources in contact with ISIS and its associates told BuzzFeed News that it wants to sell Foley’s body back to his family, and would deliver it across the Syria-Turkey border along with a DNA sample to authenticate his identity. The sources were granted anonymity over safety concerns. One of the sources, a former Syrian rebel fighter, said he had been approached by an ISIS leader and was asked to find a channel to either the American government or Foley’s family. “They ask for $1 million, and they will send DNA to Turkey, but they want the money first,” he said. “They will not give the DNA without the money.” Dec. 11, 2014
Headline: Senate committee votes to authorize war against ISIS
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday voted to authorize President Obama’s war against the Islamic State group — the first vote in Congress to explicitly grant him war powers in the U.S. battle against the militant extremists. The vote was 10-8, with most Democrats in favor and Republicans opposed. The committee chairman, Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., said he would seek a full Senate vote on the measure before the current Congress ends, but it’s more likely that the authorization will be delayed until the next, Republican-led Congress, which starts Jan. 1.

Russia
Headline: Russia Baltic military actions ‘unprecedented’ – Poland
Poland says the level of Russian naval and air force activity in the Baltic Sea region has been “unprecedented” this week. Defence Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said most of the activity was in international waters and airspace and Sweden was the country most affected. Nato partners of the Baltic states, including the UK, have military jets on an air policing mission in the region, monitoring the Russian planes. Fighting in Ukraine has raised tension. Mr Siemoniak said Russia was “not preparing to attack” but it was testing Nato defences, which “does not serve to build good relationships and trust”. The three small ex-Soviet states in the Baltic – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – joined Nato in 2004. Speaking on the Polish news channel TVN24, he said there was no need to put the Polish army on a state of high alert. Nato and Ukraine accuse Russia of fomenting the conflict in eastern Ukraine and supplying the pro-Russian rebels there with troops and heavy weapons. Russia denies the allegations, but admits that Russian “volunteers” are helping the rebels.

Headline: 3 killed, 8 wounded in fresh east Ukraine clashes
Fresh clashes between the army and pro-Russia forces in east Ukraine have claimed the lives of three Ukrainian soldiers. “We lost three soldiers and another eight were wounded in the past 24 hours,” Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council spokesman, Andriy Lysenko said on Thursday. The Ukrainian official also accused the pro-Russia forces of violating the recent ceasefire agreement which officially went into effect on Tuesday. “Terrorists are violating agreements and continuing to fire on positions of the Ukrainian military and civilians. Tanks and artillery were used, but our forces did not respond,” claimed Lysenko, citing 22 breaches of the truce so far. The latest fatalities in the restive eastern Ukraine came despite the recent agreement between Kiev and pro-Russia forces to stop fighting from December 9 under the terms of a Kremlin-brokered ceasefire.

Headline: Libya’s recognized PM vows military campaign to seize Tripoli
Headline: EU bars Libyan carriers from Europe’s airspace
Libya’s recognized government will continue a military campaign to claim back the capital Tripoli, Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni said on Wednesday. Libya is divided between two governments since a group called Libya Dawn seized Tripoli in August after a month-long battle with a rival group, setting up its own parliament and government. Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni has been forced to work from the East where the elected House of Representatives is also based, part of turmoil three years after the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi. Thinni told Dubai-based TV channel al-Arabiya his forces were advancing on Tripoli from the west and would also seize the main border crossing to Tunisia. “Our troops are moving towards Tripoli to liberate it,” he said, claiming his forces had seized a town west of the capital. Thinni’s forces, allied to a former general and tribesmen in Zintan in the western mountains, have launched air strikes on Tripoli.

Headline: Protests against police brutality spread overseas as tensions rise in the U.S.
Headline: Congress Passes Bill Which Grants “Unlimited Access to Communications of Every American”
Roughly 600 people in London participated in a die-in Wednesday in solidarity with American protesters demonstrating against police brutality in the wake of recent decisions not to press charges in the police killings of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. The demonstration was held inside the Westfield Mall in Shepherd’s Bush, before a breakaway group turned violent, prompting 76 arrests. Rising tensions prompted authorities to ask demonstrators to move to the mall’s parking lot, a request Scotland Yard says was peacefully complied with. “We will always work with those that wish to demonstrate lawfully, as the majority of protesters did yesterday,” commanding officer Mark Bird told BBC News. Meanwhile in America frustrations continue to mount. On Wednesday alone, demonstrations in Berkley — which have become a nightly event since early December — shut down a speech by tech-billionaire Peter Thiel, medical students around the country held die-ins en masse and the chief of police in Richmond, Va. even marched in protest of American police brutality. Meanwhile, According to Congressman Justin Amash, Congress just passed a bill which grants the government and law enforcement “unlimited access to the communications of every American”. When the Michigan lawmaker discovered that the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY 2015 had been amended with a provision that authorizes “the acquisition, retention, and dissemination” of all communications data from U.S. citizens, he desperately attempted to organize a roll call vote on the bill. However, the legislation was passed yesterday 325-100 via a voice vote, a green light for what Amash describes as “one of the most egregious sections of law I’ve encountered during my time as a representative”. The bill allows the private communications of Americans to be scooped up without a court order and then transferred to law enforcement for criminal investigations. The legislation effectively codifies and legalizes mass warrantless NSA surveillance on the American people, with barely a whimper of debate.

Headline: Blasts kill at least 40 in Nigerian city of Jos
Two bombs exploded near a bus station in the central Nigerian city of Jos on Thursday evening, witnesses said, the second one killing at least 40 people. Casualties from the first blast could not immediately be ascertained and Nigerian security sources could not immediately be reached for comment. Bomb blasts that bore the hallmarks of Islamist Boko Haram militants killed 118 people in the same area of Jos in May. “I saw a flash of light and heard a loud boom. Afterwards there was debris everywhere and mutilated bodies,” witness Tanko Mohammed said of the blast in Jos’s commercial Terminus district. A Reuters reporter counted 11 bodies at one bomb site and 29 at the other. Boko Haram is a Sunni jihadist movement that has been waging a five-year insurgency to establish an Islamist state in the northeast of the country. President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in three northeastern states last year. The number of attacks has risen sharply since then, in the run-up to elections in February 2015.

Headline: Al-Qaida attacks Yemeni airbase in retaliation to U.S. raids
The Al-Qaida affiliate in Yemen, Ansar al-Sharia, said Thursday it had fired rockets at a Yemeni-U.S. airbase in retaliation for recent U.S. rescue raids to release an American hostage. The militant group said in a tweet that its fighters had fired overnight six grad rockets on the al-Annad airbase in the province of Lahj in southern Yemen. The attack targeted the U.S. section of the airbase, the group added without reporting casualties. There was no official American comment. The U.S. has carried out two failed operations in Yemen to free American photojournalist Luke Somers, who has been held by Al-Qaida militants for more than a year. The last operation was on Sunday, resulting in the death of Somers and a South African hostage. Several Al-Qaida operatives were killed in the raid, according to U.S. officials.

China’s largest pro-democracy demonstrations in decades came to an end on Thursday, as hundreds of riot police poured into a once-bustling protest camp tearing down tents and arresting dozens. Police and bailiffs began entering the Admiralty protest site, on the edge of the former colony’s financial district, on Thursday morning, beginning a slow but steady push through the area. They used chain cutters to dismantle metal and bamboo barricades and soon gained access to an area that has been out of government hands since the so-called Umbrella Movement protests began two-and-a-half months ago. Inside the camp – beyond newly erected banners reading, “We will be back” – protesters braced themselves for arrest, donning helmets and goggles in case there were clashes. By 7pm dozens of demonstrators who had ignored police calls to withdraw had been taken into custody, including most of Hong Kong’s best-known democracy activists and student leaders.

Headline: Ebola crisis: Sierra Leone bodies found piled up in Kono
Health officials in Sierra Leone have discovered scores of bodies in a remote diamond-mining area, raising fears that the scale of the Ebola outbreak may have been underreported. The World Health Organization said they uncovered a “grim scene” in the eastern district of Kono. A WHO response team had been sent to Kono to investigate a sharp rise in Ebola cases. Ebola has killed 6,346 people in West Africa, with more than 17,800 infected. Sierra Leone has the highest number of Ebola cases in West Africa, with 7,897 cases since the beginning of the outbreak. The WHO said in a statement on Wednesday that over 11 days in Kono, “two teams buried 87 bodies, including a nurse, an ambulance driver, and a janitor drafted into removing bodies as they piled up”. Bodies of Ebola victims are highly infectious and safe burials are crucial in preventing the transmission of the disease. The response team also found 25 people who had died in the past five days piled up in a cordoned section of the local hospital. Health officials are worried that many of the Ebola cases in Kono have gone unreported until now.

He said another person is still being treated, and added that seven patients diagnosed this year with bird flu were cured. The H5N1 strain has killed more than 400 people worldwide since first appearing in 2003, mainly in Southeast Asia. It is one of several deadly or potentially deadly strains of bird flu that are closely monitored by the World Health Organization. The strain is different from the H5N8 version, whose spread on European poultry farms has prompted WHO calls for vigilance. A third strain of bird flu — H7N9 — has killed more than 170 people since emerging in 2013.

Headline: Tens of thousands without power as storm pounds Northern California with rain, gusty winds
A powerful storm churned through Northern California Thursday, knocking out power to tens of thousands and delaying commuters while soaking the region with much-needed rain. In Santa Cruz, about an hour south of San Francisco, an elementary school student was trapped for about 15 minutes when an 80 foot tree fell on him, pinning his arm and shoulder until rescuers with chain saws cut it apart. He was taken to a hospital in good condition but likely a fractured arm, officials said. Throughout the Bay Area, waves slammed onto waterfronts, ferries were bound to their docks, many schools canceled classes and the gusting winds had motorists tightly gripping their steering wheels on the Golden Gate Bridge, where managers created a buffer zone to prevent head-on collisions by swerving cars. The iconic suspension bridge is engineered to swing in cross winds, and engineers were standing by, but “the concern we have right now is more about vehicles,” spokeswoman Priya David Clemens said. Pacific Gas & Electric reported more than 80,000 outages due to a single flooded substation in San Francisco, and but blackouts were much more widespread; 226,800 customers were without power. The utility’s online map showed lights out over thousands of square miles, from Humboldt near the Oregon border to Big Sur on the Central Coast.
