Headline: Trump says Iran threat bringing Arab nations closer to Israel
US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu held a joint press conference following their meeting Monday evening. Prime Minister Netanyahu told Trump: “We protect the Christian [holy] sites as no one else does in this region.” “We’re committed to the freedom of all faiths and the rights of all.” He thanked Trump for being the first sitting US President to visit the Western Wall earlier Monday, and for Trump’s forceful policy on Iran and against the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime in Syria. “For the first time in my lifetime, I see a real hope for change” and peace, Netanyahu told Trump.

Headline:Abbas to offer land swap with Israel in Trump talks
PA President Mahmoud Abbas will present a plan by which the Arabs renounce 6.5 percent of the lands under their political control to Israel, three times as much as previously offered, during US President Donald Trump’s visit to Israel, Middle East Eye reported. The MEE quoted a PA official close to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as saying that the proposal excludes Jerusalem and appears to cement the vision of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for an Arab-Israeli peace settlement. “The Palestinian side will be presenting, during the meeting with Trump, a new vision which is quite detached from that of the majority of the Palestinian people. This vision is based on exchanging a lot of Palestinian lands,” the source told the MEE. “Previous discussions about a Palestinian-Israeli settlement revolved around the exchange of only 1.9 percent of the lands, but now we are talking about more than triple that amount,” the source added.

Headline: Israel OKs Palestinian development in the West Bank
On the eve of President Trump’s trip to Jerusalem, Israel sweetened the pot for his visit by approving several goodwill gestures that would benefit Palestinians in the West Bank, according to reports. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Security Council on Sunday OK’d several measures, including construction permits for Palestinians in parts of the West Bank under Israeli control, senior officials said. The area, which makes up 60 percent of the West Bank and is the site of Israel’s settlements, has largely been off limits to Palestinian development. The measures also include keeping open a key border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan for 24 hours a day and easing passage for Palestinian laborers at a crossing between the West Bank and Israel.

Headline:Terrorist attack, Palestinian riots in Jerusalem as Trump visits shrines
A Palestinian Monday attacked an IDF checkpoint in the Arab Abu Dis suburb of Jerusalem. He was shot before he hurt anyone. Riots erupted in some Palestinian neighborhoods of the city while visiting President Donald Trump and the first lady were touring the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the Old City. The couple was greeted formally by prelates of the Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Armenian churches. They next proceeded on foot to the Western Wall, where President Trump donned a skullcap. The first US president to visit this Jewish shrine, Trump gave up a prayer with his hand on the old stones. He placed a message in a cranny of the ancient wall, which was built more than 2,000 years ago to enclose the site of the Second Jewish Temple. Ivanka Kushner then offered a prayer of her own at the Western Wall.

Headline: Three sentenced to death over Hamas commander assassination
A court in the Gaza Strip on Sunday sentenced three men to death over the assassination of a Hamas military commander that the Islamist movement accused Israel of masterminding. After a trial that lasted four days, two of the accused were sentenced to be hanged and one to be shot, the military court announced. The assassination of Mazen Faqha in the middle of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip on March 24 shocked the Islamist movement and raised the possibility of a new round of violence with Israel. Hamas immediately blamed its arch-enemy, with which it has fought three wars since 2008, and implemented strict border restrictions on those seeking to leave the Palestinian enclave. Israel has not confirmed or denied the accusations.

Headline: Trump summons Muslim nations to confront ‘Islamic terror of all kinds’ at Arab-Islamic-US summit
Headline: Saudi Arabia, US release joint statement on working agreements
President Trump forcefully summoned the Muslim world to confront “the crisis of Islamic extremism” here Sunday on the eve of visits to Israel and the Vatican as he seeks to unite followers of disparate faiths against global terrorism. Speaking from the birthplace of Islam, Trump implored the leaders of dozens of Muslim nations to take their destinies in hand and, together with the United States, eliminate the “wave of fanatical violence” committed in the name of religion. “This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects or different civilizations,” Trump said in the first major foreign policy address of his presidency. “This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people, all in the name of religion — people that want to protect life and want to protect their religion. This is a battle between good and evil.” Trump implicitly rejected the aspirational goals and call for democracy and human rights of former president Barack Obama, who also delivered a major speech to the Islamic world early in his presidency. “We are adopting a principled realism,” Trump said. “We are not here to lecture,” he said. “We are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be or how to worship. Instead, we are here to offer partnership, based on shared interests and values.”

Syria
Headline: Government regains full control of Homs
The Syrian government says its forces have regained total control of the central city of Homs after rebels left the last district under their control. About 700 rebels and their families, a total of nearly 3,000 people, were evacuated on buses from al-Wair district, government officials say. “The city of Homs is completely clear of weapons and militants,” provincial governor Talal Barazi said. Many fighters were going to the rebel-held Idlib province, in the north-west. Some were heading to Jarablus, an area in northern Syria controlled by rebels backed by Turkey. Most of the rebels had been driven out of Homs in 2014, after years under siege by government forces. A Russia-brokered evacuation deal was agreed earlier this year. Under the agreement, opposition fighters are granted safe passage with their weapons out of Homs to rebel-held areas in Syria.

Headline:IS claims attack on Iraqi training camp north of Baghdad
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for an attack Monday on a military training center in Diyala north of Baghdad that killed at least four soldiers and wounded four others, including two officers, according to a statement released by the group and two Iraqi officers. Six attackers struck the base, according to the Iraqi officers. The IS statement put the number of attackers at four and said “dozens” were killed and wounded. The Iraqi officers said five attackers detonated suicide vests once inside the center and by afternoon the situation was “under control,” but five Iraqi military vehicles were torched by the blasts. The officers spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.

Headline:Iraqi forces begin manhunt inside ISIS pockets of Anbar
The Iraqi joint forces announced on Monday the start of a military operation in the western province of Anbar to search for ISIS pockets, which are posing security threats despite the country’s army declaring their mission to liberate the northern city of Mosul as complete. The Iraqi War Media Cell said in a statement that the areas to be searched include Al-Taba’i, Bani Zayed, al-Kasrat east of Anbar, which are close to the western belt of the capital Baghdad. South of the international highway, which connects Baghdad, the Syrian capital Amman and Jordan’s capital Damascus, Thameel and Wadi al-Qathif areas are searched as well. Other areas – east of Al-Qadisiya Lake near al-Haditha district – are also being combed. The War Media Cell said that the results of the military operation will be communicated later. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi has ordered the Iraqi joint forces to go after ISIS pockets in the desert areas, which are being used by the militant group to target Iraqi forces and their presence in the key international highway in Anbar. Abadi also issued his order after the recent suicide bombings that killed more than 50 people in two incidents which targeted Baghdad and the southern province of Basra.

Turkey
Headline: Turkey Summons US Envoy Over Violence During Erdogan Visit
Turkey has summoned the U.S. ambassador to Ankara to protest what it called the “aggressive” treatment of Turkish security personnel during last week’s visit to the Washington by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The move appears to be in response to strong U.S. criticism of the Turkish security personnel who apparently attacked demonstrators last week. The U.S. had summoned the Turkish ambassador to the U.S. following the violence. State Department spokeswoman Heather Naurert confirmed the U.S. ambassador to Turkey was summoned to discuss “the violent incidents involving protestors and Turkish security personnel.” “As we noted previously, the conduct of Turkish security personnel last week was deeply disturbing. The State Department has raised its concerns about those events at the highest levels,” she said. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told Fox News Sunday that Turkey’s ambassador has been told that last Tuesday’s violence was “simply unacceptable.”

Iran
Headline:Iran says it will continue missiles tests ‘if necessary’
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Monday that Iran does not need the permission of the United States to conduct missile tests, which would continue “if technically necessary.” “Our missiles are for our defense and for peace, they are not offensive. Know that while there is a technical need to conduct missile tests, we will do so and we will ask the permission of no one,” Rouhani told reporters in Tehran, following renewed criticism from US President Donald Trump. The Islamic Republic has continued to test-fire ballistic missiles, including with explicit threats to attack Israel, since the Iran nuclear deal was clinched in 2015. The missile launches have been condemned by the Trump administration and Israel. Upon his arrival to Israel on Monday from Iran’s rival Saudi Arabia, Trump vowed that the Islamic Republic would never obtain nuclear weapons.

Headline: 5 security forces killed in an Afghanistan ambush
At least 20 Afghan policemen were killed in Taliban ambushes in south central Afghanistan, officials said on Sunday, the latest in a string of insurgent attacks that come as the NATO-led military mission considers sending thousands of additional troops to the war-torn nation. Fighting is ongoing in Zabul province, where the police were attacked in Shah Joi district, provincial governor Bismullah Afghanmal said. He said the Taliban had ambushed police in the areas of Chino and Ghulam Rabat. “The report we have right now indicates that 20 policemen are martyred and 10 others are wounded. The number may increase,” Afghanmal told Reuters. Dozens of Taliban fighters were also reported killed and wounded, Afghanmal said. The attacks were part of “Operation Mansouri,” the Taliban spring offensive announced at the end of April, the group said in a statement. “So far several enemy posts have been overrun, inflicting heavy tolls on [the] enemy as well as seizing a good deal of ammunition,” the statement said, adding that fighters had also overrun a government checkpoint in Zabul’s Qalat district. Reinforcements sent to the area where the police had been ambushed were also attacked, said Gul Islam Seyal, a spokesman for the Zabul governor. Fighting was also ongoing in Zabul’s Dai Chopan district, but the extent of casualties was unknown, Afghanmal said.

Libya
Headline: East Libyan forces launch strikes after air base attack
East Libyan forces have targeted rival brigades with a series of air strikes in the southern region of Jufra, officials and witnesses said on Sunday, three days after dozens of their men were killed in a surprise attack on an air base. The escalation risks reigniting warfare in Libya’s central desert regions, where forces aligned with the eastern-based Libyan National Army (LNA) have skirmished since late last year with opponents aligned with a UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli. Details of Thursday’s attack on Brak Al-Shati air base, about 150 miles (240 km) south of Jufra, are still emerging. It was led by the 13th Brigade, which operates under the GNA’s defense minister. He was suspended on Friday pending an investigation. The LNA says as many as 141 were killed, some of them summarily, and has pledged a forceful response. Medical and local officials said on Friday that at least 89 had died, but that the toll was incomplete. Human Rights Watch cited a local hospital official as saying that five corpses had arrived at a local hospital with bound arms, and that six more were disfigured in a way that suggested their heads had been run over by a vehicle.
The HRW statement on Sunday also quoted an LNA soldier as saying some civilian workers were killed, and that he witnessed nine of his comrades being executed.

Protesters peacefully shut a pumping station at Faouar in southern Kebili province, where French oil company Perenco operates, according to one local witness and Mosaique FM and Shems FM radio stations. “We shut down the pumping station for Perenco, where we are carrying out our sit-in protest. We had no problem with the army. We are just demanding jobs,” said Faker Ajmi, one of the protesters told Reuters by telephone. The energy ministry did not reply to a request for comment.

Isis are conducting chemical weapons experiments on “human guinea pigs” before launching attacks on Western targets, according to secret documents. The extremist group has reportedly poisoned prisoners by spiking their food and water with compounds used in pesticides that are easy to obtain. Security forces now fear the terror network may hatch a twisted plot to contaminate Western food supplies with formulas that quickly dissolve in liquid.The experiments were recorded in a stash of papers found hidden in Mosul University after Iraqi special forces recaptured the city from IS fighters. Chemical weapons expert Hamish de Bretton-Gordon told The Times: “This is a horrifying throwback to the Nazis who would test nerve agents on live humans. During the Second World War, the Nazis conducted thousands of deadly experiments with mustard gas on prisoners at Sachsenhausen concentration camp, near Berlin.”

Headline: Venezuela protests: Man set alight as death toll rises
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has accused opposition protesters of setting alight a government supporter in Caracas on the 50th day of protests. Orlando José Figuera suffered burns to 80% of his body after he was engulfed in flames. Officials said he was also stabbed in Saturday’s protests. Witnesses said the crowd had accused the man of being a thief. On the same day, an opposition activist was shot dead, bringing the total number killed in recent protests to 48. The attorney general’s office said gunmen allegedly opened fire on the demonstrators in the western city of Valera. Edy Alejandro Teran Aguilar died from a gunshot wound to the chest, while two others were wounded. Protesters demanding President Maduro step down and hold elections took to the streets across the country on Saturday to mark the 50th day of the increasingly violent demonstrations which have overwhelmed the country in recent weeks. “A person was set on fire, beaten up, stabbed… They nearly lynched him, just because he shouted out that he was a ‘Chavista’,” President Maduro said, referring to the ruling Socialist movement set up by his predecessor Hugo Chavez. Speaking on his weekly TV programme, Mr Maduro described it as “a hate crime and a crime against humanity”

Headline: Ivory Coast rebels stage fresh street protest
Hundreds of demobilised rebels took to the streets of this central Ivory Coast city on Monday to demand government funds after disrupting a funeral attended by a cabinet minister. The minister had offered assistance to help the country’s around 6 000 demobilised former rebels to set up businesses or launch other projects. But the offer angered the onetime rebels who shouted “We don’t want projects, we want cash”, and then surrounded Solidarity Minister Mariatou Kone’s vehicle, preventing her from getting away. They subsequently took to the streets to press home their demands as dozens of others also staged a protest in the economic capital Abidjan. The protests come days after a crippling four-day army mutiny, the latest in a series of armed protests which began in January in the West African country.

Headline: Bomb wounds 20 at Bangkok military hospital
A small bomb struck a Bangkok military hospital on Monday wounding more than 20 people, police said, three years to the day since the army seized power of the politically unstable kingdom.
Thailand remains starkly divided since the May 22, 2014 coup, but dissent has broadly been silenced by a military with sweeping security powers. It was not immediately clear who was behind the blast but the country has a long history of small bombs being used by various political and militant groups, especially during significant anniversaries. Police investigations rarely get to the bottom of who is culpable for the attacks. Monday’s blast struck a pharmacy inside a military hospital in Bangkok, stirring panic among patients and sending smoke into the corridors but causing only minor injuries. “From the initial report it was a bomb… there are more than 20 people injured,” Deputy National Police Chief General Srivara Rangsibrahmanakul told reporters. “It was likely to be in a package,” Srivara said, adding that “battery and wires” were found at the scene.

North Korea has fired an ‘unspecified missile’ in a latest act of aggression, according to military sources.
A South Korean news agency are claiming that the projectile took off from a location near Pukchang. However, NHK News, a Japanese new agency, claims the missile ‘fell into the Sea of Japan’. South Korea’s Office of Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that the projectile was launched on Sunday afternoon (local time). The South Korean military added that the missile flew “about 500 kilometers (310 miles)” and was believed to have landed in waters off its east coast.South Korea has now urged Kim Jong-Un’s state to stop its “provocative action” which it claims violates the instructions of the UN Security Council. South Korean Foreign Ministry Spokesman Cho June-Hyuk said: “North Korea today fired a ballistic missile again. “North Korea’s repeated provocative action went against our government and international community’s expectation and desire to establish peace and denuclearisation on the Korean peninsula.

Headline: More Puerto Rico Agencies Enter Bankruptcy
The federal board overseeing Puerto Rico’s financial rehabilitation is enlarging the U.S. territory’s court-supervised bankruptcy, placing its nearly depleted pension system and its transportation agency under court protection. The Employees Retirement System, known as ERS, and the Highways and Transportation Authority, known as HTA, entered a debt-restructuring process that amounts to municipal bankruptcy Monday in the federal court in San Juan. Those two systems are now under a federal debt-adjustment law known as Title III alongside the Puerto Rico government and its sales-tax bond issuer, known as Cofina . U.S. District Judge Laura Swain Taylor, who is presiding over the cases, held the first court hearing on the government’s case last week. “This is part of a court-supervised process within a framework that provides for an orderly restructuring of the debt of each entity and allows as much creditor consensus as possible,” said a spokesman for Puerto Rico’s fiscal agency. The pension system’s bankruptcy has implications for hundreds of thousands of government retirees and pensioners who are up against bondholders in the renegotiation of Puerto Rico’s debts.

Headline: WHO Suspects A Fourth Person Died Of Ebola In Congo
A fourth person is believed to have died of Ebola in an outbreak of the disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the World Health Organization said on Sunday. The WHO first confirmed the discoveryof the new outbreak on May 12, after a 39-year-old man who had died on his way to the hospital in a remote region of Bas-Uele province in late April was confirmed to have suffered from the deadly disease. Since then, there have been 37 suspected cases, Eugene Kabambi, the WHO’s spokesman in Congo, told Reuters on Sunday. Four of those 37 cases have resulted in death and two have been confirmed as Ebola, another two cases, including the latest death, are considered probable, the spokesman added. Because Ebola is highly contagious, authorities are now monitoring more than 400 people who came into contact with suspected patients. Just last week, authorities were only tracking about 200 people. As of now, we do not know the full extent of the outbreak, and as we deploy teams over the next few weeks, we will begin to understand… exactly what we’re dealing with,” Salama added.

A cholera outbreak in war-torn Yemen has killed 315 people since April 27 and is spreading with “unprecedented” speed, the United Nations’ World Health Organization said Sunday. More than 29,300 suspected cases have been reported in 19 of the country’s 22 provinces, the agency posted on Twitter. The highest number of likely cases — more than 6,000 — are in the capital city, Sana’a, where the Houthi government declared a state of emergency one week ago. On Friday, the WHO warned that Yemen could have as many as 300,000 cases of cholera within six months and an “extremely high” number of deaths. “We need to expect something that could go up to 200,000-250,000 cases over the next six months, in addition to the 50,000 cases that have already occurred,” Nevio Zagaria, WHO Yemen representative, told reporters in Geneva.

Headline: First ever data on US transgender surgeries reveals huge surge in demand: Rate of operations skyrocketed 20% in 2015
The first ever data on gender reassignment surgeries in the United States shows demand is skyrocketing. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons found a nearly 20 percent increase in vaginoplasties, phalloplasties, top surgery and contouring operations in just the first year of reporting. In 2016, more than 3,200 surgeries were performed to help transgender patients feel more like themselves. Surgeons in the field claim that figure is a conservative estimate – and would likely three times higher if all hospitals had a uniform way of documenting such surgeries. And they believe celebrity transitions have been a driving force in this shift.‘It’s only in the last couple of years that we’ve seen this dramatic increase in demand for procedures, it’s certainly a subject that’s more talked about,’ Dr Loren Schechter a board-certified plastic surgeon who’s been practicing gender-reassignment surgery for two decades, told Daily Mail Online.

Headline: Americans Say U.S. Moral Values at a Seven-Year Low
Americans may be split between warring political and cultural camps, but there is something most of them can agree on: They share a dim view of their country’s moral values. More than 80 percent of people polled rate moral values in the U.S. as fair or poor—a seven-year low, and 77 percent of respondents to a new Gallup poll say the state of moral values will continue to get worse. In the 16 years Gallup has asked Americans whether their country’s moral values were getting better or worse, social conservatives have consistently been the most pessimistic—more likely than moderates or social liberals to say the situation was getting worse. Now moderates have that distinction. Eighty-six percent of moderates say moral values in the U.S. are worsening. That compares with 77 percent of social conservatives (an 11-percentage-point drop from last year) and 71 percent for social liberals.

Headline: Scientists have found a way to photograph people in 3D through walls using Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi can pass through walls. This fact is easy to take for granted, yet it’s the reason we can surf the web using a wireless router located in another room. But not all of that microwave radiation makes it to (or from) our phones, tablets, and laptops. Routers scatter and bounce their signal off objects, illuminating our homes and offices like invisible light bulbs. Now, German scientists have found a way to exploit this property to take holograms, or 3D photographs, of objects inside a room — from outside it. “It can basically scan a room with someone’s Wi-Fi transmission,” Philipp Holl, a 23-year-old undergraduate physics student at the Technical University of Munich, told Business Insider.
