Headline: Hilik Bar withdraws support for Temple Mount prayer bill
Labor MK Hilik Bar has withdrawn his signature from a bill that would ensure the right to prayer on the Temple Mount for Jews, just days after expressing enthusiastic support for the idea. A statement from Bar’s office said he ended his backing for the bill, which he sponsored in cooperation with Likud MK Miri Regev, after consultations with security officials and political and diplomatic figures. The Labor Party’s chairman Isaac Herzog and Knesset faction chairman Eitan Cabel asked that Bar withdraw his support in light of their position that Jewish prayer on the Temple Mount can only be achieved through “dialogue and not legislation.” “I suspend my support for the bill without happiness or celebration because the bill is moderate, has many positive aspects and is commensurate with the rulings of the High Court of Justice,” Bar said.

Headline: ‘By unilateral steps, Netanyahu didn’t mean evacuating settlements’
Headline: ‘We made it clear how much we would build, even in Jerusalem’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not suggest evacuating Jewish settlements when he told Bloomberg that Israel is considering unilateral steps in the West Bank, senior officials at the Prime Minister’s Office said on Friday. “The prime minister has no intention of evacuating settlements,” the officials said. In the interview published earlier on Friday, Netanyahu told Jeffery Goldberg that “the idea of taking unilateral steps is gaining ground, from the center-left to the center-right.” It was the second time in two weeks that Netanyahu had suggested political alternatives to negotiations with the Palestinians. The senior officials at the PMO said that in the wake of the breakdown of talks with the Palestinians, several Israeli officials have talked about alternative political plans. “The prime minister is currently considering the steps that can be taken with regard to the Palestinians,” the officials said, “in light of the new situation that arose following the breakdown of talks and the reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah.” They added that Netanyahu is consulting with party leaders on this issue.

Headline: Islamic Jihad Preparing to Join PLO
Ramadan Salah, leader of the Gaza-based terror organization Islamic Jihad, declared to the Arabic paper Al-Hayat on Tuesday that his group “is prepared to join the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) on a new political and organizational basis.” The PLO has achieved international recognition as the representative of the “Palestinian people” since the 1993 Oslo Accords. The Palestinian Authority (PA) was established by the PLO to govern Arab residents living under the group’s auspices. However, the PLO has never renounced terrorism. Islamic Jihad for its part was behind the mid-March showering of roughly 100 rockets on Israel over three days. Salah’s statement confirms Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh’s comments last Friday, when he said that Hamas and Islamic Jihad would be integrated in the PLO’s leadership and take part in elections for PLO institutions. Such a change in the institutional organization of the PLO is a result of the unity deal between Fatah and Hamas, which is expected to the formation of a unity government next week.

Headline: New pact restores Hamas to the Iranian fold with a $200m annual stipend and military aid
Headline: ‘Netanyahu was ready to fire Livni for meeting Abbas’
The Palestinian Hamas terrorist group has been restored to the Iranian fold and won the promise of an annual allowance of $200 million per year, military assistance and advanced weapons on a par with the hardware supplied to Jihad Islami. debkafile’s sources report that this deal was secretly sealed in Doha on Thursday, May 22, at a meeting between Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and Hamas’s politburo head Khaled Mashaal. It culminated a month of intense Hamas-Tehran negotiations, which were conducted quietly in parallel with Hamas’s unity talks with the rival Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Hamas is now reinstated as a member of the radical Iran-Syrian-Hizballah Middle Eastern bloc, with all the accoutrements of an ally which it forfeited by turning its back on Bashar Assad at a low moment in the civil war. Tehran has promised to restore the flow of cash and advanced weapons, and go back to training Hamas operatives at courses run by the Revolutionary Guards. US Secretary of State John Kerry knew this was going on when he met Abbas in London on May 14, but preferred not to raise the issue. Israel’s Justice Minister and negotiator, Tzipi Livni, likewise ignored the Hamas-Tehran pact when she talked to Abbas the next day. Before clinching the deal, Iran required Meshaal to publicly endorse Iran’s policy in Syria and his support for Bashar Assad.

Headline: Deputy Hezbollah Leader: Israel is the Greatest Enemy
The Hezbollah terror group continues to see Israel as its central enemy and not the rebels in Syria, the group’s deputy leader said on Thursday. “Israel is the main enemy,” Sheikh Naim Qassem said, according to the Lebanese Daily Star. “But the tactical priority depends on the direct threat, so our confrontation with takfiri (extremist) groups derives from the direct danger they represent, and it does not affect our readiness to confront Israel,” he declared. Qassem gave the speech in a conference organized by the Institute of Wisdom Knowledge as part of the Permanent Conference for Resistance. The institute is a research school close to Hezbollah that specializes in philosophical and religious studies, according to the Daily Star. The talk focused on demonstrating that Israel’s existence is illegitimate, that the country is an eternal enemy to Lebanon and all Arabs, and that armed resistance is the right way of confronting it. “Israel is the enemy of humanity and truth,” said Qassem. “It cannot coexist with anyone.”

At least four people have been killed and dozens more injured after Egyptian security forces attacked anti-government protesters in yet another day of violence across the country. Security forces fired tear gas and birdshot to disperse thousands of anti-government protesters in the Egyptian cities of Cairo and Giza, as well as across the Sinai Peninsula. Two protesters were killed in the district of Matariya, which is located at the northern region of Greater Cairo. Two other anti-government protesters were killed in the town of Fayoum. Protesters held massive demonstrations across Egypt after Friday prayers, denouncing the upcoming presidential election. They argued that the vote is farce and conducted by what they call a bloody coup leader.

Headline: Syrian opposition releases video of a reported chlorine gas attack
Mortar fire has hit an election rally in support of President Bashar al-Assad in southern Syria, killing at least 20 people, state media and activists say. The attack happened as Assad supporters gathered in a tent in the city of Deraa on Thursday evening. President Assad was not at the event. At least 30 people have been injured, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports. Syrians are due to vote on 3 June in an election branded a sham by the West. The president is facing two other challengers, but he is widely expected to secure a third seven-year term in office – despite a brutal civil war now in its fourth year. Thursday’s attack happened in the al-Matar district of Deraa, said the Observatory, which relies on reports from a network of activists on the ground. It said the strike was carried out by an Islamist rebel brigade, and killed 11 civilians – including one child – and pro-government militiamen.

Headline: Syrian army breaks year-old Aleppo prison siege
Syria’s army broke a siege of Aleppo prison Thursday, cutting off a major rebel supply route, as Damascus allies China and Russia vetoed a bid to refer Syria to the International Criminal Court. The Western-proposed UN Security Council resolution, which would have covered war crimes committed by all sides in the civil war, comes less than a fortnight before President Bashar Assad’s expected re-election. Tanks and armored vehicles rolled into the grounds of the prison in the main northern city of Aleppo, more than a year into a rebel siege of the sprawling complex, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The development puts the army and its allies, including Lebanon’s Hezbollah, within reach of Castelo Road, which rebels in Aleppo have relied on as a supply route leading to a countryside rear base.

Russia will recognize the outcome of Ukraine’s presidential vote, President Vladimir Putin promised Friday, voicing hope that Ukraine’s new leader would halt the military operation against separatists in the east. But clashes between pro-Russia separatists and government forces appeared to be heating up, leaving 20 more rebels and one solider dead, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry reported Friday. AP reporters saw three other bodies. Up to 500 insurgents attacked a convoy of government troops in a clash that lasted for several hours Thursday and killed 20 rebels outside the eastern village of Rubizhne, the ministry said. It also said one soldier was killed early Friday near the same area after insurgents ambushed Ukrainian troops in a separate clash. These claims from the Luhansk region — which has declared independence from Kiev — could not be independently confirmed. It was also not immediately clear why reports of such a major clash in a populated area took more than a day to surface. In Kiev, Ukraine’s caretaker president urged all voters to take part in Sunday’s crucial ballot to “cement the foundation of our nation.” Yet it was uncertain whether any voting could take place in eastern Ukraine, where, in addition to the fighting, a vote boycott and threats against election workers were disrupting the upcoming ballot. AP journalists saw three dead from Friday’s fighting in the eastern Donetsk region, another area that has declared independence. One rebel leader said 16 more people died Friday in fighting there — 10 soldiers, four rebels and two civilians —but there was no immediate way to verify his statement.

The IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), the branch of Iran’s military whose role is to protect Tehran’s Islamic system, has published on Twitter an interesting drawing showing how they imagine an attack on an enemy warship entering the Persian Gulf. The plan is to use several different weapons systems in a coordinated attack, opened by high speed boats to create a diversion. According to Good Morning Iran blog, who translated the text accompanying the rendering, the plan assumes that Iranian high speed boats, equipped with missiles and mines — and disguising themselves as normal fishing boats — would carry out an initial attack against the enemy ship.

Headline: Libya near civil war, U.S. voices concern
Libya remained on the brink of civil war Friday amid a lingering standoff between forces loyal to a renegade general vowing to eradicate extremist elements in the North African country and militias backing the Islamist-dominated parliament in the capital Tripoli. The escalating violence that threatens to further split the country drew calls for a political solution from the United States and European countries. On Thursday, Islamist-led militias flowed into the capital to protect the parliament against the offensive launched last week by renegade General Khalifa Haftar. The move came only days after gunmen loyal to Haftar stormed the parliament demanding its suspension. Haftar is demanding that the government hand power to the country’s top judges and called for the formation of a Presidential Council to take over from parliament, oversee elections and hand power after a nationwide vote to a new legislature. Libya’s government warned Thursday that the deployment of Islamist militias to safeguard the parliament only jeopardized the safety of citizens. May 23, 2014

Tensions are escalating in Turkey after another person dies from his wounds sustained during clashes between police and anti-government protesters. Turkish authorities say the victim was a bystander who was shot during violent protests in Istanbul on Thursday. He is the second person to have lost his life in the unrest. One more citizen “has lost his life. We have lost a person who was wounded by a hand grenade. The death toll has risen to two,” Istanbul Governor Avni Mutlu told reporters on Friday. This comes after another Turkish protester, who was shot by security forces in a protest in Istanbul, died of his injuries on Thursday. The Istanbul governor says the 30-year-old man was shot in the head during a clash with the police. Security forces used tear gas and water cannon and fired in the air during the crackdown. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, reacting to two deaths this week in clashes between police and protesters, said Friday that he was “amazed” by the patience of the police. “We won’t remain silent against the blood mongers who use (the mine disaster) as an excuse to break, ravage, attack police and commit murder,” Erdogan said in a speech to members of his ruling party. “Do you expect police to stand idly by and watch?

Headline: USDA warns of sticker shock on U.S. beef as grilling season starts
The Department of Agriculture has warned of sticker shock facing home chefs on the eve of the Memorial Day holiday weekend, the unofficial start of the U.S. summer grilling season. The agency said conditions in California could have “large and lasting effects on U.S. fruit, vegetable, dairy and egg prices,” as the most populous U.S. state struggles through what officials are calling a catastrophic drought. The consumer price index (CPI) for U.S. beef and veal is up almost 10 percent so far in 2014, reflecting the fastest increase in retail beef prices since the end of 2003. Prices, even after adjusting for inflation, are at record highs. “The drought in Texas and Oklahoma has worsened somewhat in the last month, providing further complications to the beef production industry,” USDA said. Beef and veal prices for the whole of 2014 are now forecast to increase by 5.5 percent to 6.5 percent, a sharp advance from last month’s forecast for a 3 to 4 percent rise. Pork prices are set to rise by 3 percent to 4 percent, up from a 2 to 3 percent advance expected a month ago. The USDA said overall U.S. food price inflation for 2014, including food bought at grocery stores and food bought at restaurants, would rise by 2.5 percent to 3.5 percent in 2014.

They suffer searing headaches, a burning fever and so much pain in their joints they can barely walk or use their hands. It’s like having a terrible flu combined with an abrupt case of arthritis. Hospitals and clinics throughout the Caribbean are seeing thousands of people with the same symptoms, victims of a virus with a long and unfamiliar name that has been spread rapidly by mosquitoes across the islands after the first locally transmitted case was confirmed in December. “You feel it in your bones, your fingers and your hands. It’s like everything is coming apart,” said 34-year-old Sahira Francisco as she and her daughter waited for treatment at a hospital in San Cristobal, a town in the southern Dominican Republic that has seen a surge of the cases in recent days. The virus is chikungunya, derived from an African word that loosely translates as “contorted with pain.” People encountering it in the Caribbean for the first time say the description is fitting. While the virus is rarely fatal it is extremely debilitating. “It is terrible, I have never in my life gotten such an illness,” said Maria Norde, a 66-year-old woman confined to bed at her home on the lush eastern Caribbean island of Dominica. “All my joints are in pain.”

Preliminary investigations indicate the likely source of this outbreak are raw clover sprouts produced by Evergreen Fresh Sprouts LLC of Idaho, the CDC said. The state departments of health in Washington and Idaho are telling consumers not to eat raw clover sprouts produced by Evergreen Fresh Sprouts. Meanwhile, hummus and dip products totaling about 14,860 pounds are being voluntarily recalled by Lansal Inc. amid concerns about possible bacterial contamination. At the same time, Sherman Produce is recalling some bulk and packaged walnuts sold to retailers in Missouri and Illinois.

A wave of protests against President Nicolas Maduro’s socialist government in Venezuela will not let up and foreign sanctions could be useful, a hardline opposition leader said on Friday. The OPEC nation’s worst unrest in a decade has seen 42 people killed during months of daily protests calling for Maduro’s departure and solutions to economic hardships. Though demonstrations have dwindled in recent weeks, one of their main promoters, Maria Corina Machado, said the president had been weakened and opponents would keep the heat on. “A Venezuela that felt dominated, resigned and terrified has woken up,” the right-wing politician, prominent in organizing nationwide rallies since February, told Reuters. “This is the beginning of the beginning. We will have a transition to democracy in the near future … not in 2019,” she said, pointing to a recall referendum allowed in 2016 as a constitutional way to abridge Maduro’s six-year term.

Headline: Thailand coup: Army seizes control of government to restore ‘peace’
Thailand’s military chief General Prayuth Chan-ocha has announced that the armed forces and police have seized power in the country, two days after declaring martial law. General Prayuth made the announcement last night in a television broadcast after he held a meeting with all rival factions aimed at finding a solution to six months of anti-government protests. “In order for the situation to return to normal quickly and for society to love and be at peace again … and to reform the structure of the political, economic and social structure, the military needs to take control of power,” he said. The commander-in-chief, who invoked martial law on Tuesday, said the coup was needed to prevent the conflict escalating. “All Thais must remain calm and government officials must work as normal,” he added. A series of bulletins ran on national television, one broadcast ordering former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra and three other relatives of controversial billionaire-turned-politician Thaksin Shinawatra to report to military authorities today. Another bulletin declared social media platforms would be blocked if content inciting violence or criticism of the new military leaders was found. “Cooperation from social media operators and all involved to stop such messages that incite violence, break the law or criticise the coup council,” the new ruling junta said. “If we find any to be in violation, we will suspend the service immediately and will summon those responsible for prosecution.”
