Headline: Interpol votes to admit ‘State of Palestine’ as new member state
Headline: PM warns of retaliation for Abbas’s diplomatic warfare
Israel suffered a stinging diplomatic setback on Wednesday when the International Police Organization (Interpol) voted to accept “Palestine” as a full member state. The move at Interpol’s annual General Assembly meeting, held this year in Beijing, came despite furious Israeli efforts over the last few weeks to thwart it. The US was also actively involved up until the last minute in trying to stop the move. The vote came just a week after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the UN General Assembly how Israel’s stature on the world stage was steadily improving. The move passed in a secret ballot by a vote of 75 to 24, with 34 abstentions. The Palestinians needed more than two-thirds of the yes-or-no votes counted, and passed that threshold handily.

Turkey
Headline: Putin arrives in Turkey to meet Erdogan
Russian President Vladimir Putin has landed in Turkey to meet his counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan as relations between the two states continue to thaw. The situation in Syria and de-escalation zones are expected to be the main issues on the table. The leaders held a phone conversation on Monday in which they discussed Syria, including de-escalation zones – an initiative proposed by Russia and also brokered by Iran and Turkey – and political settlement of the crisis, according to the statement from the Kremlin. The parties agreed to further discuss the Syria issue during Putin’s visit to Turkey on Thursday. The leaders will meet in the Presidential Complex in Ankara, Erdogan’s office said in a statement. Bilateral relations between Turkey and Russia will also be on the table during the meeting, the statement added. On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the presidents had discussed the independence referendum of Iraqi Kurdistan on Monday. The topic of S-400, Russia’s most advanced missile systems which Ankara is planning to purchase, remains hotly-discussed in the media. It’s not yet clear whether Putin and Erdogan will discuss it. Turkey confirms deposit on Russia’s state-of-the-art S-400 missile systemsSpeaking about military cooperation between Moscow and Ankara, Peskov said on Wednesday that “no one has a right to criticize it.”

Iran
Headline: The Iranian Khoramshahr ballistic missile test did take place – although the US said “It didn’t happen”
The new Khoramshahr ballistic missile with a range of 2,000km and multiple warheads, which was paraded in Tehran on Sept 22, was indeed test fired, as reported by Iran’s Airspace chief, Gen. Amir Ajakozadeh. The launch shown filmed from a great distance on national television was genuine. President Donald Trump tweeted: “Iran just test fired a ballistic missile capable of reaching Israel. They are also working with North Korea. Not much of an agreement we have!” However, three days later, on Sept. 26, an administration official offered the opinion that the footage shown on Iranian television “appears most likely to be a re-run of a previous test launch.” He added: “the video was more than seven months old and dated back to a failed launch in late January, which resulted in the missile exploding shortly after lift-off. ” As to the latest launch, the US official said: “As far as we can see, it did not happen. Iran’s report “so far does not appear to be true.” However, DEBKAfile’s intelligence and military sources in the Middle East, who examined the conflicting versions, found indications that refuted the US official’s disclaimer. The Khoramshahr was indeed test-launched, except that it happened a bit earlier than Tehran claimed – although very recently, and not seven months ago. Those sources could not categorically confirm that it was a success – only that “it certainly did not fail.”

Afghanistan
Headline: Rockets, grenades fired at Kabul airport after Mattis arrival
Headline: Suicide car bomb kills at least 12 Afghan police
The Taliban unleashed a barrage of rockets and suicide bombers detonated their vests at Kabul’s international airport Wednesday, the attack coming fewer than two hours after U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis arrived there. Mattis had already left the airport aboard helicopters to attend a meeting with Afghanistan’s President Ghani when the attack occurred. The Afghan Crisis Response Unit responded to the attack and U.S. forces supported them in the air, but a missile malfunctioned and caused “several” friendly casualties, officials said. Afghan special forces managed to repel the attackers, killing four in the ensuing gunbattle. Officials said an investigation into the attack has been opened and more details would be released in the coming days.

Headline: Islamic State releases audio of leader Al-Baghdadi
Islamic State (ISIS) leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi exhorted followers on Thursday to stand fast and keep fighting in his first purported audio communication in almost a year during which his jihadist group lost much of its self-proclaimed “caliphate.” The date of the 46-minute recording, released via the Al-Furqan news organization, which is linked to the jihadist group, was not clear. But Baghdadi makes reference to North Korean threats against Japan and United States and the recapture two months ago of Mosul by US-backed Iraqi forces. “Beware of retreat, or the feeling of defeat, beware of negotiations or surrender. Do not lay down your arms,” Baghdadi said, referring to followers in Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, North Africa and elsewhere in Africa. Baghdadi called on the ISIS fighters to continue their terror attacks in the West and “fan the flames of war on your enemies, take it to them and besiege them in every corner, and stand fast and courageous.” “Increase blow after blow, and make the media centers of the infidels, and where they wage their intellectual wars, among your targets,” he added.
