Headline: Trump Team Warns Obama Against Last-Minute ‘UN Surprise’ on Israel
Saying that pushing agendas “contrary to the president-elect’s position” would not be in the “spirit of the transition”, Trump national security advisor for Donald Trump last week warned the Obama administration against making moves on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in his last months in office. “On big, transformative issues where President Obama and President-elect Trump are not in alignment, I don’t think it’s in keeping with the spirit of the transition…to try to push through agenda items that are contrary to the president-elect’s positions,” the advisor told Politico. Trump’s vision for Israel is extremely different from that of Obama, whose relationship with the Jewish state has been strained, to say the least. Trump campaigned on a strong pro-Israel platform, promising to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and hinting that he would lift restrictions on building in settlements, whereas the State Department under Obama has repeatedly and strongly condemned even small-scale Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria.

Headline: Danny Danon to UN forum: ‘See you in court, BDS’
Headline: International mayors denounce UNESCO for ignoring Jewish ties to Temple Mount
Hundreds of people gathered at United Nations headquarters on Wednesday night to attend a forum held by the Israeli Mission to the UN to discuss the legal fight against the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. Ambassador Danny Danon hosted the event in his capacity as the chairman of the UN Sixth Committee, the primary forum for the consideration of legal questions in the General Assembly. “We are here to send a simple message to the BDS movement: To the bullies who harass students on campus, to those who use the language of civil rights to mask their hate, to the activists who are conducting this illegal and unjust campaign of hate; your time is over, your movement based on lies and intimidation is coming to an end,” he told the crowd. “We will use every tool and every legal measure to stop the hate.” Putting a stop to the anti-Israel movement, Danon said, should be at the top of the UN agenda. “We will focus on lawfare, the use of legal procedures, to fight bias and discrimination and to stand up to boycotts. We are here to learn from the experts to think of new ways to collaborate so we can tell BDS activists: See you in court! “But lawfare isn’t just about using the law as a shield; it’s also about engagement,” Danon added. “We engage institutions and trust them to do the right thing. We trust them to follow the law and to follow the principles of justice. And that’s why we will win, because the truth is on our side, history is on our side and justice is on our side.”

Headline: Israel’s parliament preliminarily approves settlement legalization
The Knesset, Israel’s parliament, on Wednesday gave preliminary approval to a bill legalizing settlements on Palestinian territory in the West Bank. The bill will retroactively legalize Jewish settlements built on Palestinian territory occupied by Israelis. Despite voicing opposition to the bill, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voted in favor. Under the bill, which is not yet law, Jewish settlers who build homes on private Palestinian land will need to financially compensate the owners of the land. The Knesset’s actions counter Israel’s High Court of Justice decision on Monday to reject a government request for a delay in demolishing settlement homes in Amona, West Bank. The conservative Jewish Home party, led by Naftali Bennett, sponsored the bill, which still faces several legislative hurdles before becoming law.

Headline: Menorah and Oil Stand Ready for Third Temple as Hanukkah Approaches
A ritually pure oil has been carefully prepared by the nascent Sanhedrin so that the people of Israel will be ready to light the menorah should the Third Temple arrive by Hanukkah, which this year begins on December 24. “The oil is ready, so if the government decided to permit it, we are ready to go up to the Temple Mount and light the menorah,” affirmed Rabbi Yaakov Savir, appointed by the Sanhedrin to oversee the complex oil-making process. He explained that lighting the menorah is actually considered a ritual offering to God: “The oil is burned just like an animal sacrifice and is considered one of the daily Temple offerings.” Interestingly, the Temple itself is not actually needed to perform the commandment of lighting the menorah, though in current times it would be extremely difficult to take a menorah onto the Mount, let alone light it there, as any type of Jewish prayer is not permitted. However, the Sanhedrin remains hopeful. “We can do this part of the Temple service on the Temple Mount right now without building a Temple. We are preparing the oil now, so that if the situation suddenly arises, we will be ready to perform this mitzvah (Torah commandment),” Rabbi Savir told Breaking Israel News. According to the Torah, the Temple menorah should be made out of beaten gold. Lacking such a menorah, one made of any type of metal is kosher to be used in the Temple. The Temple Institute has built a replica of the original Temple menorah, but it is made of wood, and thus not suited for use in the Temple. If the need for the Temple menorah suddenly arises, the Institute has a metal replica as well.

Headline: Lebanese Army attacks ISIS in Jaroud Arsal
An Iran-backed terrorist group operating in Syria is parading around the war-torn country in U.S.-made armored vehicles affixed with antiaircraft guns – and one of the most frightening aspects is how U.S. officials and analysts can’t agree on how the extremists got their hands on the American war machines. A popular theory quickly emerged that Hezbollah had stolen – or otherwise acquired – the M113s from the Lebanese Armed Forces, which receives U.S. military aid. But a State Department official told The Washington Post this was an unlikely scenario. “The Lebanese military has publicly stated that the M113s depicted online were never part of their equipment roster,” the official said. “Our initial assessment concurs: The M113s allegedly in Hezbollah’s possession in Syria are unlikely to have come from the Lebanese military. We are working closely with our colleagues in the Pentagon and in the Intelligence Community on to resolve this issue.”

Headline: The largest oil deposit ever found in America was just discovered in Texas
Saudi Arabian energy minister Khalid al-Falih has called on US President-elect Donald Trump not to stop oil imports from his country. In an interview with the Financial Times on Tuesday, al-Falih said Trump should achieve the energy-related goals that he outlined in his campaign speeches, namely halting dependence on foreign energy sources, without limiting imports. The minister asserted that the US “benefits more than anybody else from global free trade,” referring to its recent spike in natural gas and oil product exports. The US receives 31 percent of its oil from OPEC member states, 40 percent from Canada and the rest from domestic production.

Headline: Putin withdraws Russia from International Criminal Court
The U.S. military has halted support for Turkish ground troops pushing deeper into Islamic State-held territory in Syria, highlighting the mounting tension between NATO allies over how to defeat the extremist group. A spokesman for U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria said on Wednesday that no airstrikes or American special operations advisers are assisting the Turkish military’s operation targeting ISIS fighters in al Bab. Located 20 miles south of the Turkey-Syria border, the town serves as an important transfer point for fighters and supplies bound for Raqqa, the Islamic State’s self-proclaimed capital some 125 miles to the east. “We’ve not supported the advance to al Bab thus far ,” Air Force Col. John Dorrian said. “This is a decision they’ve made to go into al Bab, but it’s not one that the coalition has provided strikes in support of.” Despite that, Dorrian said the Turkish advance appears to be going well. “They’ve not yet moved into al Bab and taken the city, but they are very, very close, encountering some pretty tough resistance,” he noted. “They do expect to be able to power through that.”

At Benghazi University, graduation pictures shot at a wrecked campus symbolise hope for a return to normality in the city after more than two years of war. It is a war in which the eastern-based Libyan National Army (LNA) has been slowly prevailing against a coalition of Islamists and former revolutionaries. Its commander, Khalifa Haftar, is gaining political influence, his popularity boosted by the army’s advance. “We can’t pursue our studies here but thanks to our army I’ve been able to return, if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be standing here,” said Amal Al Obeidi, a law graduate. “The situation will get back to normal and we hold great hope in our army.” But while the LNA’s progress has brought relative calm to parts of Benghazi, continued clashes and bomb attacks have exposed the limits of the army’s control and raised questions about its ambitions to dominate Libya’s rival factions.

The protesters swept past security guards and smashed a glass door to get into the parliament chamber, where they shouted “general here, general here” and sang the national anthem.

Clashes between anarchists and Greek police broke out Thursday on the sidelines of a peaceful march to the U.S. embassy in Athens, in an annual commemoration of a 1973 student uprising that was crushed by the military dictatorship which ruled the country from 1967-74. About 17,000 people marched to the embassy without incident, although some protesters taunted and threw garbage at about 1,000 participating supporters of the governing Syriza party. Some 3,000 police were deployed in central Athens as a precaution. But the violence came from another quarter of the city. Dozens of anarchists occupied the National Technical University complex, site of the failed pro-democracy revolt, and attacked police with petrol bombs, flares and stones. Riot police responded with tear gas and stun grenades as street battles lurched outside the university in the densely-inhabited Exarcheia district, well away from the embassy. No arrests or injuries were reported.

Headline: Faceless monitors judge fake news on social media
Google and Facebook announced separately on Monday, November 14, that they are taking steps against sites that spread fake news and against social media pages that publish misleading content. These measures open up some serious questions about freedom of expression. What news is “fake”? And how and by whom is it defined? What constitutes misleading content, and how is it classified as such? Does a political viewpoint, extreme religious belief, or open criticism on such issues as the operation to liberate the Iraqi city of Mosul from ISIS, for example, govern the judgment of what constitutes misleading content and is to be restricted? There is no clear answer to these questions. Google announced that it will punish sites by barring them from its AdSense network, which places advertisements on internet sites worldwide. Facebook, meanwhile, announced that it will update its advertising policy and not allow income from ads on social media pages that distribute “misleading” content. These steps are a dubious extension of the welcome policies that deny advertising and revenue from internet sites publishing pornography, gambling or extreme violence.

Hurricane-force winds of 94mph have left a trail of destruction after an apparent tornado swept through west Wales. Huge gusts measuring 82 knots struck Aberystwyth, the market town and popular holiday resort, at about 10.30am on Thursday. The winds, which crews at Aberystwyth Lifeboat weather station said were the strongest they had ever recorded, overturned 20 caravans at a holiday park and took out power for some homes. Dyfed Powys Police reported dozens of roads closed or blocked by fallen trees, tiles blown off roofs or other debris. Locals described the damage caused by what they described as a tornado as “absolute carnage”, with one saying their doors were “rattling like a 747 just flew over the roof”. Police said no injuries were reported. The Met Office and Meteogroup said they had yet to confirm if a tornado had hit the area, but was aware of reports from Clarach, near Aberystwyth.
