Headline: US: We are ‘concerned’ about Israel destroying Palestinian homes in east J’lem, West Bank
The United States is “concerned” about Israel’s demolition of Arab buildings in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, a State Department spokeswoman said on Friday, adding that it raised questions about Israel’s commitment to a two-state political solution to the Palestinian conflict. “These actions are indicative of a damaging trend of demolitions, displacement and land confiscation,” spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau told a State Department briefing. She said Washington was “concerned” and the demolitions, coupled with continuing Israeli construction and settlement activity “undermine the possibility of a two-state solution.”
“They also call into question the Israeli government’s commitment to that two-state solution,” Trudeau said. The State Department previously made similar comments.

Headline: Egyptian officials ask Hamas about missing Israelis
The Islamist group Hamas publicly acknowledged on Friday that it is holding the remains of two Israeli soldiers and also has in its custody two Israeli nationals who went missing in the Gaza Strip. The group’s military wing, Izzadin Kassam Brigades, released a televised statement through official Hamas media in Gaza on Friday saying Israel will have to make concessions if it wants the Islamist organization to provide information about the conditions of the “four prisoners of war.” The Hamas spokesperson assailed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and denied that the organization was considering the release of the four Israelis. “Netanyahu is lying to his people with his statements and he is pulling the wool over the eyes of the parents of the soldiers in our custody,” said Abu Abeida, the Izzadin Kassam spokesperson. “There are no negotiations [with Israel] over prisoners.”

Headline: Netanyahu Says He Again Invites Abbas to Meet and Will Clear His Calendar
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that he again invites Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to meet with him. Speaking at the beginning of a meeting with Czech Foreign Minister Lubomir Zaoralek, the prime minster’s comments were made in response to remarks by the Palestinian president’s claims that he wanted to arrange a meeting with Netanyahu but Netanyahu had refused. “I heard that President Abbas said if I invite him to meet, he will come,” the Israeli prime minister said Monday. “I am inviting him again. I will clear my schedule this week and any day he can come I will be here. The first item I want to discuss with him is ending the Palestinian incitement campaign against Israel. My door is always open for those who want to pursue peace with Israel.” Abbas said Netanyahu did not respond positively to the suggested meeting. “I’m prepared to meet Netanyahu anywhere, any time,” Abbas told Channel 2’s Ilana Dayan. In the course of his interview, Abbas warned that if the current situation is to continue, the Palestinian Authority is liable to collapse, adding that the Palestinian Authority, which he heads, is already on the verge of collapse.

Headline: Netanyahu’s dilemma: Détente with Turkey or recognition of Syrian Kurds
Last Friday, April 1, President Reccep Tayyip Erdogan had his first encounter with a group of American Jewish leaders, at his request. The full details of its contents were hard to sort out because the Turkish translator censored his master’s words with a heavy hand to make them more acceptable to his audience. But Erdogan’s bottom line, debkafile’s New York sources report, was a request for help in explaining to the Obama administration in Washington and the Netanyahu government in Jerusalem why they must on no account extend support to the Syrian Kurdish PYD and its YPG militia or recognize their bid for a separate state in northern Syria. The Turkish president did not spell out his response to this step, but indicated that a Turkish invasion to confront the Kurdish separatists was under serious consideration in Ankara. His meaning was clear: He would go to war against the Kurds, even if this meant flying in the face of President Barack Obama’s expectation that Turkey would fight the Islamic State. On Feb. 7, on his return for a Latin American tour, the Turkish president warned Obama that he must choose between Ankara and the Kurds, whom he called “terrorists.” By last week, the US president’s choice was clear. It was the Kurds. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is caught on the horns of multiple dilemmas: While reluctant to respond to Ankara’s suit for warm relations with a leader who is shunned by Obama and Putin alike, Turkey is nonetheless offering to be Israel’s best client for its offshore gas. Israel’s friendship with the Kurdish people goes back many years. The rise of an independent or autonomous state in Syria and its potential link-up with the semiautonomous Kurdish region of Iraq would create an important new state of 40 million people in the heart of the Middle East. Israel has no wish to make enemies of its longstanding friends by disowning them in favor of Turkey. Already, Israel’s evolving ties with the Syrian Kurds have given Israel’s strategic position in Syria a new positive spin, upgrading it versus the Assad regime in Damascus and its Hizballah and Iranian allies, who are avowed enemies of the Jewish state. Those ties offer Israel its first foothold in northern Syria. And finally, Erdogan is not the only opponent of Kurdish separatism; so too are important Sunni Muslim nations like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. By promoting the Kurds, Israel risks jeopardizing its rapidly developing ties with those governments.

Over the past several years, Egyptian troops have been engaged in efforts to quell rampant militancy across the Sinai Peninsula.

Around noon, combined Islamist rebels from Jabhat al-Nusra, Ahrar ash-Sham and the Free Syrian Army’s (FSA) 1st Coastal Division attacked government positions in northeastern Lattakia and subsequently captured the village of Nakshaba along with the nearby Rasha Hill. With another Jaish al-Fateh (rebel) offensive ongoing in southern Aleppo, these events seem to spell the end of the Syrian ceasefire which was otherwise agreed in Geneva not long ago. Meanwhile, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) – backed by the National Defence Forces (NDF) and paramilitary forces of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) and Syrian Resistance – are attempting to mobilize their troops as to recapture the lost sites. Thus, clashes are ongoing on the outskirts of Nakshaba and the strategic Rasha Hill.

Syria Headline: Nusra Front, Syrian rebels attack government forces near Aleppo, gain ground
Syrian rebels and the al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front have mounted an offensive against Syrian government forces and on Saturday took a strategic hill south of Aleppo from government control, a monitoring group said. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the offensive began on Friday, and Syrian government and allied forces were fighting to take back control of the territory and repel further attacks. Friday’s attack began with three suicide bombings carried out by Nusra Front south of Talat al-‘Iss hill. Rebel and Nusra Front forces then took control of the hill, the Observatory and a Nusra Front statement said. Nusra Front said in the statement it ambushed government forces as they withdrew toward the town of Hadhar to the east. The Observatory said the fighting has so far killed dozens of regime forces and at least 16 rebels and Nusra Front members.

At least 25 people have been killed and dozens wounded in bomb attacks across Iraq, media reports say. As many as 10 suicide bombers carried out the attacks, which reportedly targeted members of the security forces and allied Shia Muslim militias. The Islamic State (IS) group, which holds territory in the north and west, said it was behind some of the attacks. In the deadliest attack, at least 14 people were killed when a bomber blew himself up in a restaurant. The eatery was popular with members of the Popular Mobilisation, a predominantly Shia militia which has taken a lead role in the fight against IS, the Associated Press reports. Other attacks hit the southern city of Basra, Baghdad and Mashada, north of the capital.

Headline: Turkey’s Erdogan says no room for dialogue in Kurdish conflict
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Monday ruled out reviving peace talks with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and vowed to stamp out the conflict, at its deadliest in two decades, once and for all. Two members of the security forces were killed in fighting in the mainly Kurdish southeast on Monday, officials said. The autonomy-seeking PKK abandoned its two-year ceasefire in July, reigniting a conflict that has claimed more than 40,000 lives, mainly Kurdish, since 1984. The violence wrecked a peace process, spearheaded by Erdogan, that was seen as the best chance at ending one of Europe’s longest-running insurgencies. “We said ‘resolution process’, and they deceived us, their word cannot be trusted. That’s over now, we are going to finish this off,” Erdogan said in a speech to the state-run Red Crescent humanitarian organization. It was aired live by TRT. “The terrorists can choose two paths: surrender to justice or be neutralized, one by one. There is no third way left in Turkey. We tried that repeatedly in the past,” he said, then denied rumors there had been recent contacts with the PKK. Almost 400 soldiers and police and thousands of militants have been killed since July, Erdogan said last week.
Opposition political parties say between 500 and 1,000 civilians have also perished in the fighting, centered in towns and cities in southeast, home to most of Turkey’s estimated 15 million Kurds.

The crew of a U.S. Navy ship stopped a massive Iranian arms shipment dead in its tracks, seizing thousands of weapons, AK-47 rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers that likely were headed to Yemen, the Pentagon announced Monday. The seizure, which unfolded in the Arabian Sea on March 28, was the third of its kind in recent weeks, military officials say. Iran has been supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen in their proxy war against a Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States. Like Iran, the Houthis are a Shia-led group. The arms shipment appears to mark the latest provocative action from the defiant Islamic republic, which reported last month that it tested missiles marked with the phrase “Israel must be wiped out.” And on Monday, the Iranian government warned the U.S. to butt out of trying to control its missile program. “The White House should know that defense capacities and missile power, specially at the present juncture where plots and threats are galore, is among the Iranian nation’s red lines… and we don’t allow anyone to violate it,” Deputy Chief of Staff Brig-Gen Maassoud Jazzayeri told state media.

Dozens of people have been killed in clashes between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the disputed Caucasus region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia said 18 ethnic-Armenian troops died in the fighting early on Saturday, among the worst in two decades. Azerbaijan said it had lost 12 troops and there were unconfirmed reports of civilian deaths on both sides. There was more firing across the frontline overnight into Sunday, the two countries said, but no deaths were reported. Russia, which has sold arms to both sides, called for an immediate ceasefire and for both sides to exercise restraint. Azerbaijan said its armed forces had come under fire first from large-calibre artillery and grenade-launchers, and that it had taken over two strategic hills and a village. The Armenian government said Azerbaijan had launched a “massive attack” with tanks, artillery and helicopters. The Armenian-backed defence ministry in Karabakh said a 12-year-old boy had been killed and two other children injured. Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has spoken with his Armenian and Azeri counterparts – Seyran Ohanyan and Zakir Hasanov – by phone, Interfax reported, in an effort to calm the situation.

Headline: Isil plotting to use drones for nuclear attack on West
Isil terrorists are planning to use drones to spray nuclear material over Western cities in a horrific “dirty bomb” attack, David Cameron has warned. World leaders are concerned that jihadists want to buy basic drones that are widely available online to transport radioactive material into the heart of major cities in a strike that could kill thousands. The Prime Minister warned that the dangers of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) getting hold of nuclear material was “only too real”. Mr Cameron on Friday met world leaders, including the presidents of America, France and China, to plan how they would react to such an attack. Footage has reportedly emerged showing Isil using drones and the threat was deemed so serious that – in a highly unusual move – world leaders were asked to take part in war games to plan how they would respond. One scenario, mapped out by US officials and presented at the special Nuclear Security Summit session in Washington DC, spelt out the danger in remarkable detail.

Austria, whose introduction of border restrictions in February has caused a sharp fall in the number of migrants to Germany, previously said it was preparing to introduce tighter controls if needed. But the minister’s choice of words appeared to toughen the discourse. “As the EU’s external borders are not yet effectively protected, Austria will soon ramp up strict border controls. That means massive border controls at the Brenner (Pass), and with soldiers,” Doskozil told daily Die Welt. Separately, he told the Austrian newspaper Oesterreich he was leaving open-ended the number of soldiers who might be deployed for border duty at the Alpine pass, saying it would be based on need.

Fighting erupted in the southern part of Congo’s capital Brazzaville on Monday, with heavy fire in opposition bastions between troops and unidentified assailants sending thousands of residents fleeing.

According to several witnesses, the crackle of automatic gunfire began after 2:00am (0100 GMT) in Makelekele and Mayana districts, and continued without stop until dawn. Several explosions were heard and two police stations reportedly torched in the restive run-down districts, strongholds of Congo’s opposition. “Soldiers came and told us to leave before it was too late, now we don’t know where to go,” said a 24-year-old student who gave her name as Mercie. By 8:15am, the gunfire had become sporadic although witnesses across the Congo river in northern Kinshasa, capital of the neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo, also reported hearing explosions.

Greece engaged in angry exchanges with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) over the weekend after WikiLeaks transcripts suggested that the fund was seeking to threaten Greece with a risk of default. WikiLeaks published the text on Saturday (2 April) of an alleged conversation between three IMF officials in which they say that Greece only does what it needs to do only when it runs out of money – a situation they suggest could happen again soon. The Greek government responded by asking the IMF whether “seeking to create default conditions in Greece, shortly ahead of the referendum in Britain, is the fund’s official position”. In a letter to Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras on Sunday, IMF managing director Christine Lagarde tried to assure him that “any speculation that IMF staff would consider using a credit event as a negotiating tactic is simply nonsense”. She added however that her institutions would support only a “credible” plan “based on realistic assumptions”. “We are still a good distance away from having a coherent programme,” she wrote. Lagarde also wrote that the IMF “conducts its negotiations in good faith, not by way of threats” and that it did not “communicate through leaks”.

Headline: Boy tests positive for Ebola in latest Liberia flare-up
A five-year-old boy tested positive for Ebola in Liberia just days after his mother died of the virus in the second flare-up to hit West Africa in recent weeks, the health ministry said on Sunday. A 30-year-old woman died of Ebola in Monrovia last week, months after Liberia was declared free of the virus. Her death followed a recent flare-up that cost the lives of at least four people in neighboring Guinea. “A five-year-old boy, the son of the deceased, tested positive early on Sunday morning,” Deputy Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah said. More than 11,300 people have died over the past two years in the world’s worst Ebola epidemic, nearly all of them in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Headline: Hillary Clinton on Abortion: “The Unborn Person Doesn’t Have Constitutional Rights”
In a new interview today, pro-abortion presidential candidate Hillary Clinton couldn’t have made her radical abortion views more clear. Clinton said unborn children simply do not have any Constitutional rights, which would include the right to life. “The unborn person doesn’t have constitutional rights,” Clinton said, adding that “the woman’s right to make decisions” is the be all and end all when it comes to abortion. Weekly Standard writer Shosanna Weissman was surprised that Clinton used the term “person” since most abortion advocates never refer to unborn children with any reference to their humanity.

Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.” Luke21:25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring”
Headline: ‘Never before seen’ spring snowfall in the Caribbean islands
No, it is not an April Fools Day joke, snowflakes actually fell in the neighbouring French island of Guadeloupe. The event, which was described as ‘exceptional’ by a French meteorologist took place on Thursday, March 31 in the municipality of St. Claude. Reports from French media indicate that a very fine snowfall blanketed the hills above the town. French meteorologist, Alain Museleque, explained the extraordinary phenomenon on Guadeloupe Premiere TV. “We had a mass of clouds that arrived over St. Claude,” he said in French and translated by McCathy Marie. “Accompanying this mass of clouds was some very cold air. In this very cold air, in the mass of clouds, we had the creation of some snowflakes which fell to the ground. This has never before been seen in Guadeloupe. This is an exceptional event that we will never forget.”

Headline: Rain, floods kill 36 in northwest Pakistan
Flash floods triggered by torrential rains Sunday killed at least 45 people in northwest Pakistan, officials said. Rains started overnight Saturday and caused flash flooding in several districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, said a Pakistani national disaster management official, Latif ur Rehman. Another 34 people were admitted to hospitals with injuries, he said. Residents of scores of villages close to rivers were given warnings to vacate and leave for safer places, Rehman said. “We’re left on our own. Nobody from the government is coming to help us,” said Habib Khan, a resident of the northern Swat valley, talking to a local TV news channel. The channel showed damaged houses and submerged streets in the valley and other parts of the northwestern province.
