Headline: Report: Israeli decree calls on Wakf to end ‘damaging’ Temple Mount construction
An Israeli government order issued Tuesday called on the Wakf trust that oversees Islamic holy sites to halt construction work on the Temple Mount that is damaging valuable ancient artifacts found in the area, Israel Radio reported Wednesday. According to the report, the decree cites Israel Antiquities Authority warnings that the Wakf’s building structures and activities along the perimeter wall of the contested holy compound are destructive. The Jerusalem Municipality issued the order that the Prime Minister’s Office approved in an emergency meeting.

Headline: Israeli mayors meet with Abbas
Headline: Bennett threatens to ‘topple government’ to prevent Palestinian state
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has expressed openness to dialogue with the new Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman in a meeting with Israeli mayors from the Galilee earlier this week. “If Lieberman says he supports the two-state solution, nothing will prevent us from speaking with him,” Abbas said in the meeting held at the Palestinian presidential compound in Ramallah. Lieberman, who has earned a reputation as a tough-talking hawk, described the Arab peace plan for two states as containing “positive elements” on Monday night in a press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after being sworn in as defense minister. “If he really means it, we’ll forget everything he said about us – that we’re diplomatic terrorists,” Abbas said, referring to harsh comments Lieberman has made about the Palestinian leadership. “We won’t judge him by the past but rather by what he does now and in the future.” The Israeli delegation of mayors arrived on the eve of an international peace conference in Paris on Friday – and as Israeli leaders turn to Egypt to spearhead new talks with the Palestinians – to discuss another peace conference to be held in, of all places, the small northern Israeli town of Ma’alot Tarshiha.

Headline: Ahead of Paris Summit, Israel Sees Egypt’s Regional Initiative as Preferable to French Peace Plan
The foreign ministers of 29 countries will convene on Friday in Paris to debate the stalemate in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and will try to agree on a date for an international peace conference to take place by the end of the year. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held on Thursday night a political-informational consultation ahead of the event, at the end of which Foreign Ministry Director-General Dore Gold held a press conference in which he compared the French peace initiative to the Sykes-Picot agreement, which divided up the former territories of the Ottoman Empire. He stressed that any effort by the international community to impose a solution would fail. “One hundred years ago, two officials by the name of Mark Sykes and Francois-Georges Picot tried to dictate a new order in the Middle East,” Gold said. “It was at the apex of the era of colonialism in our area. It utterly failed then and will completely fail today. The only way to make peace is by means of direct negotiations without prior conditions with the full backing of the Arab states and not by means of a conference in Paris. If you have a conflict with your neighbor you don’t go all the way to France and bring Senegal over to solve it. You talk directly to your neighbor.”

Lebanon
Headline: Lebanon: Hezbollah Digging Tunnels Into Israel
In marking the 16th anniversary of Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon, the Lebanese newspaper Al-Safir reported that the Hezbollah terrorist militia is busy digging tunnels under the Israeli border in preparation for future conflict. According to the article, the tunnels enable Hezbollah terrorists to attack Israel at a moment’s notice, and include sophisticated ventilation and electricital systems and enough supplies to allow militants to remain in the tunnels for weeks at a time. Fully aware of the threat, Israel’s Home Front Command is busy training civil defense units in towns and villages across northern Israel. That effort includes a great many Arab communities, who after the last Lebanon war realized Hezbollah missiles do not differentiate between Arabs and Jews. “There is a big change in the Arab population in Israel in that they are much more willing to cooperate with us,” Col. Eren Makov, the Northern Regional Commander of the Homefront Command, said in a recent interview with The Media Line. “We give them training in what to do and they see it as a contribution.” Israeli officials stress that the next war with Hezbollah isn’t likely to happen anytime soon, given that the Lebanese group is so bogged down in the Syrian civil war, in which it has lost thousands of troops. On the other hand, Hezbollah operates at the whim of the Iranian regime. Should Tehran or the besieged regime of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad view it as beneficial to draw Israel into the conflict, they could order a Hezbollah assault on the Galilee or Golan Heights.

Saudi Arabia
Headline: OPEC fails to agree policy but Saudis pledge no shocks
OPEC failed to agree a clear oil-output strategy on Thursday as Iran insisted on steeply raising its own production, though Tehran’s arch-rival Saudi Arabia promised not to flood the market and sought to mend fences within the organization. Tensions between the Sunni-led kingdom and the Shi’ite Islamic Republic had blighted several previous OPEC meetings, including in December 2015 when the group fell short of agreeing a formal output target for the first time in years. Strains were less acute on Thursday, however, as new Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih showed Riyadh wanted to be more conciliatory and his Iranian peer Bijan Zanganeh kept his criticism of Riyadh to an unusual minimum. In a rare compromise, OPEC also decided unanimously to appoint Nigeria’s Mohammed Barkindo as its new secretary-general after years of friction over the issue. Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies had tried to propose OPEC set a new collective ceiling in an attempt to repair the group’s waning importance. But Thursday’s meeting ended with no new policy or ceiling amid resistance from Iran.

Headline: Iran tells Saudi Arabia: ‘We’ll leave Iraq when Iraq asks’
Iran’s foreign minister said on Wednesday that Tehran had no intention of leaving Iraq and criticised “arrogant” Saudi Arabia for accusing it of stoking sectarian violence. “We will leave Iraq whenever Iraq asks us to. And we will help Iraq to confront terrorism, as long as Iraq wants us to,” Mohammad Javad Zarif said at a press conference in Stockholm during a European tour to attract investors. On Sunday, Saudi Arabia accused Iran of sowing “sedition and division” in Iraq and sending in Shiite militias, and urged Tehran to “stop intervening” in the affairs of its neighbours. But Zarif, whose Shiite-dominated country is an arch rival of Saudi Arabia, bristled at the remarks by the Sunni-led kingdom’s Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir. “It’s an absurd statement, it’s an arrogant statement. Nobody should arrogate themselves to talk on behalf of other countries,” he said in English. Tehran and Riyadh, a traditional ally of Washington, are at odds over a raft of regional issues, notably the conflicts in Syria and Yemen in which they support opposing sides.

Yemeni officials say the country’s Shiite rebels have retaken ground from forces loyal to the internationally recognized government in two central provinces, with at least 85 fighters killed on both sides over the past three days. The officials said Thursday the fighting has been taking place in Marib and Shabwa provinces. They say that in Shabwa’s region of Bihan, along with the 85 killed, about 100 fighters have been wounded on both sides. Security officials loyal to President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi say pro-government forces retreated due to lack of air support from the Saudi-led coalition.

Syria Headline: US-backed fighters ‘advance on IS-held Manbij‘
US-backed Kurdish and Arab fighters have opened up a new front against so-called Islamic State (IS) in northern Syria, close to the Turkish border. The offensive by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) is reported to be directed at Manbij, a town under IS control. The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said US-led pre-dawn air strikes on Manbij killed 15 civilians. The operation aims to cut IS off from an area it uses to move weapons and fighters across the border. Thousands of forces have been deployed in the offensive, which could take weeks, unnamed US officials told Reuters news agency. The SDF fighters are being supported by US special forces. US officials say the SDF force is mostly Arab with a small number of Kurds. However, the Syrian Observatory (SOHR) said most of the fighters were from the Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG) militia. Turkey considers the YPG a terrorist group and fiercely opposes any Kurdish advances near the border. The SOHR added the troops were about 15km (nine miles) from Manbij. The clashes were “fierce and intense”, SDF military adviser Nasser Haj Mansour told AFP news agency.

A Free Syrian Army-linked rebel group active in the remote stretches of central Syria has advanced against ISIS near the Damascus-Baghdad International Highway. The Ahmad al-Abdo Martyrs Forces announced Wednesday evening that its fighters seized the Zaza and Kabad checkpoints northeast of the Bir al-Qassab region in the country’s vast semi-desert following a “surprise operation.” “[We] expelled ISIS members from the region, killing 10 of their fighters while capturing two of them as the rest fled toward… the desert,” the group—which is reportedly supported by the US and Jordan—claimed in a statement posted on its Facebook page. A spokesperson for the Ahmad al-Abdo Martyrs Forces spoke with the activist Local Coordination Committees about the fighting, saying that a foreign ISIS commander had been killed in the battle. Saeed Saif claimed that ISIS had running an operations room at the captured checkpoints, adding that the Zaza point carried “strategic importance” since it was a linking point for ISIS fighters. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also covered the desert battle, reporting that a rebel group—which would not name—had killed a number of ISIS fighters during its fight to seize the Zaza and Kabad checkpoints.

Washington informed Ankara of the Manbij operation, but it was beyond the range of Turkish artillery and Turkey would not back a campaign in which Syrian Kurdish fighters played a role, another Turkish military source said Wednesday. Turkish border guards fired artillery at two ISIS positions near the Syrian town of Azaz on Wednesday, the Turkish military sources said, west of the U.S.-backed operation and directly south of the Turkish border town of Kilis, which has been repeatedly hit by ISIS rockets. Turkish jets struck PKK camps in northern Iraq early Thursday and destroyed seven rebel targets the Metina area, the military sources also said.

Headline: Turkey slams Germany’s genocide vote, recalls envoy
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim says Turkey is recalling its ambassador to Germany for consultations after what he calls a “historic error” by the German parliament to recognize the killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks a century ago as genocide. The motion, which was put forward by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s governing coalition of right and left and the opposition Greens, passed with support from all the parties in Parliament. In a show of hands, there was one abstention and one vote against. The vote heightened tensions between Germany and Turkey at a time when Ankara is playing a key role in stemming the flow of migrants to Europe. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that “this decision will seriously impact Turkish-German relations.” Speaking during a visit to Kenya, Erdogan said recalling the ambassador for consultations was a “first step” and that the Turkish government would consider further steps to be taken in response to the vote.

Regional officials in Afghanistan say Taliban abducted at least 17 passengers in the north of the country late Wednesday. Zabiullah Amani, the provincial governor’s spokesman, said the passengers, local residents of Balkhab district, were traveling by bus to the capital of Sar-e-Pul province when Taliban kidnapped them. He said local tribal elders were negotiating their release. This is the second mass kidnapping in a week by the Afghan Taliban. Some 200 passengers were abducted earlier this week by insurgents who set up illegal check points on a highway in northern Kunduz province. They later released some of those passengers but executed at least 17 of them. Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters gathered in Kabul Thursday for a demonstration against the Kunduz abductions and killings. The protest was organized by the Afghanistan Green Trend party led by former intelligence chief Amrullah Saleh. Demonstrators chanted anti-Taliban slogans. The protest ended after the organizers were allowed to enter the city and read out their resolution at Pashtoonistan square near the presidential palace gates.

Headline: Libyan forces lose 10 men in clashes with ISIS near Sirte
Libyan brigades aligned with a new UN-backed government in Tripoli lost 10 men and had another 40 wounded in fighting close to the Islamic State stronghold of Sirte on Wednesday, a hospital spokesman said. The brigades, mostly composed of fighters from the western city of Misrata, have advanced to the outskirts of Sirte over the past week and say they intend to recapture the city. On Wednesday they had gained ground south of the city, and at a power station west of Sirte, according to statements posted on their social media accounts. They said they had faced four suicide car bombings, two of which had exploded before reaching their targets. Western states are hoping the United Nations-backed government, which arrived in Tripoli in March, can bring together Libya’s competing factions to defeat ISIS. The extremist group established a foothold in Libya amid political chaos and conflict in the North African state, gaining control over Sirte last year. Earlier this week a separate force that guards key oil terminals east of Sirte also advanced towards the city, taking control of two small towns previously controlled by ISIS. In Sirte itself, a resident told Reuters that a senior cleric had toured the streets on Tuesday urging people to stay in the city and fight. Most of Sirte’s population of about 80,000 is thought to have fled, and the government-backed brigades have said they want to give those residents who remain a chance to escape before advancing into residential areas. The brigades had already seen 75 of their fighters killed and more than 350 wounded before the latest casualties.

A throng of protesters demanding food made a run for the Venezuelan presidential palace on Thursday in a rare, apparently spontaneous outburst of anger at the socialist administration within the heart of Caracas. More than 100 people charged down the main thoroughfare in central Caracas chanting “No more talk. We want food.” They got within about a half dozen blocks of the presidential palace before police in riot gear headed them off and began firing tear gas. Police pushed the protesters back as some kicked their plastic shields. More officers ran toward the scene and filled in the streets between the protesters and the palace. Onlookers leaned out of windows banging pots and yelling insults at the officers. The economically struggling county has seen near-daily spontaneous protests in recent weeks over shortages of food and medicine, rolling blackouts, and poor access to running water.

Al Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack, which sheared off the front of the luxury hotel and left blood spattered on bullet-marked walls.

A source close to China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) told the South China Morning Post daily that security conditions in the region, namely the US military presence, would define the timing of the ADIZ declaration. “If the US military keeps making provocative moves to challenge China’s sovereignty in the region, it will give Beijing a good opportunity to declare an ADIZ in the South China Sea,” the source told the newspaper. The country’s Defense Ministry told the South China Morning Post in a written statement that it was “the right of a sovereign state” to designate an ADIZ.

Headline: Mysterious Hemorrhagic Fever Outbreak Stumps Disease Detectives
The last time, we heard about a “mysterious hemorrhagic fever” in a country, it was February 2014. The outbreak was in Guinea. And by the time doctors had pinpointed the culprit, Ebola was spiraling out of control in West Africa. The situation in South Sudan today is a far cry from that in West Africa a few years ago. But it’s still concerning, the World Health Organization said. So far, there have been 51 cases — including 10 deaths — from an unknown disease in the northern part of South Sudan. The main symptoms of the disease are similar to those seen with Ebola: unexplained bleeding, fever, fatigue, headache and vomiting. But the culprit definitely isn’t Ebola. First, the symptoms “rapidly resolve following supportive treatment,” WHO said. And the disease doesn’t seem to spread from person to person. In fact, scientists don’t know yet how the disease is transmitted. Scientists have tested 33 of the cases for Ebola, and all of them came back negative. The samples also tested negative for other viruses known to cause unexplained bleeding, such as Marburg virus and Crimean-Congo fever.

Several volcanos around the world were very active last week spewing enormous amounts of ash and gas into the atmosphere and forcing thousands of people to leave their homes. But it´s not all just about volcanic activity, there has also been quite a bit of earthquake activity along some the volcano impacted areas, especially in the Pacific Ring of Fire. During the last 10 days close to 40 volcanos worldwide have been showing signs of activity and great deal of them, 34, are located along the very active Ring Fire. Considering that in the 20th century the average number of volcanic eruptions was 35 per year, what we are seeing just this week is above last century´s average for an entire year. This increasing volcanic activity around the the Ring of Fire is not new, the region is home to 452 volcanoes, 75% of all earth’s, and geologists have been warning that this 25,000 mile stretch of active and dormant volcanoes is becoming more unstable in recent years.
