Headline: Palestinian flag raised at United Nations headquarters
The Palestinian flag has been raised for the first time at United Nations headquarters in New York. The ceremony was attended by the President of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas. Addressing the UN General Assembly, Mr Abbas said it was unconscionable that the question of Palestinian statehood remained unresolved. He also warned that the PA no longer felt bound by agreements with Israel he claimed were “continually violated”. “As long as Israel refuses to cease settlement activities and to release of the fourth group of Palestinian prisoners in accordance with our agreements, they leave us no choice but to insist that we will not remain the only ones committed to the implementation of these agreements,” Mr Abbas said. “We therefore declare that we cannot continue to be bound by these agreements and that Israel must assume all of its responsibilities as an occupying power.”

Headline: Full Official Text of President Mahmoud Abbas’ Speech at the UNGA
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said in his address to the UN General Assembly on Wednesday that the Palestinian Authority was no longer bound by agreements it has signed with Israel. Abbas accused Israel of continuing to violate agreements and declared that the Palestinian Authority therefore will not remain committed to their implementation. He declared that the Palestinians “cannot continue to be bound by these agreements and that Israel must assume all of its responsibilities as an occupying power,” saying that the situation was unsustainable. Abbas also told the General Assembly that Palestine should be accepted as a full member of the UN. “Palestine, which is an observer State in the United Nations, deserves full recognition and full membership,” he said. Starting his speech with a warning about Israel’s policies at Al-Aqsa, Abbas accused the Israeli government of harming the holy places for Islam and Christianity in Jerusalem and called upon the government to stop “before it is too late.” Abbas also slammed Israel for building in the settlements and for the blockade over Gaza strip. “We can’t accept the status quo,” he said. He also blamed Israel for not acting against the so-called “price tag” attacks on Palestinians.

Headline: Netanyahu: Abbas’s Deceitful Speech is Encouraging Calamity
In reaction to UN announcement of Oslo Accords being canceled, PM says Abbas hasn’t even answered request for direct negotiations. Just minutes after Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas announced at the UN in New York on Wednesday that the PA is abandoning the 1994 Oslo Accords, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s office issued a sharp response. “Abu Mazen’s speech was deceitful and encourages incitement and lawlessness in the Middle East,” said Netanyahu, using Abbas’s nickname and rebutting his numerous claims that Israel is breaching international law and agreements. “In contrast to the Palestinians, Israel is strictly maintaining the status quo on the Temple Mount and is committed to continuing to do so in accordance with the agreements between us and the Jordanians and the Waqf.” We expect and call on the [Palestinian] Authority and its leader to act responsibly and accede to the proposal of the Prime Minister of Israel and enter into direct negotiations with Israel without preconditions, continued Netanyahu’s statement. “The fact that he – time and again – has refused to do so is the best possible proof of the fact he does not intend to reach a peace agreement,” he added. That statement is all the more meaningful given Abbas’s claims in his UN speech that he was holding direct communication with Israel.

Headline: Israeli military strikes back in Gaza after rocket fire
Israeli fighter jets launched airstrikes in the Gaza Strip early Wednesday, reportedly in response to a rocket launched from the Palestinian territory toward Israel. The Israeli military said the rocket from Gaza was shot down by its Iron Dome anti-missile system over Ashdod, a city with a population of 245,000. The Islamic State-affiliated group Sheikh Omar Hadid Brigade claimed responsibility, allegedly in response to the killing of an 18-year-old in Hebron last week. In the retaliation strike, the Israeli air force hit four Hamas sites in Gaza. No damage or injuries were reported. Israel Defense Forces Spokesman, Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said Hamas is to blame for the rocket attacks. “Hamas is responsible and will be held accountable for every attack emanating from the Gaza Strip. The IDF will continue defending all Israelis who are repeatedly attacked by such blatant acts of aggression,” he said.

Headline: Tens of thousands receive priestly blessing at Western Wall
Tens of thousands gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem amid heavy security for the holiday priestly blessing. The Western Wall Heritage Foundation estimated the Wednesday morning crowd at 50,000, while media reports put the number at between 50,000 and 150,000. The mass blessing, called Birkat Kohanim in Hebrew, is held on intermediate days of Sukkot and Passover, two of the three shalosh regalim, or pilgrimage festivals, when the Jews would ascend to the Holy Temple. The third is Shavuot. For the past 45 years, the blessing has been held at the Western Wall. Hundreds of Kohanim, members of the priestly class in Judaism, held up their hands and blessed the worshippers, including many visitors from the Diaspora. Israel’s chief rabbis, Yitzhak Yosef and David Lau, presided over the event along with Shmuel Rabinovitch, the rabbi of the Western Wall and the Holy Sites of Israel. More than 3,500 police were deployed across the city for the event to ensure the safety of visitors to Jerusalem, including hundreds at the Western Wall and the Temple Mount, which has been the site of violent clashes between Israeli security forces and Muslim worshippers. On Wednesday evening, tens of thousands of additional worshippers are expected to visit the Western Wall for the Hakel ceremony, which takes place every seven years at the end of the shmitta, or sabbatical, year.

Russian warplanes began bombarding Syrian opposition targets in the war-torn nation’s north Wednesday, following a terse meeting at which a Russian general asked Pentagon officials to clear out of Syrian air space and was rebuffed, Fox News has learned. A U.S. official said Russian airstrikes targeted fighters in the vicinity of Homs, located roughly 60 miles east of a Russian naval facility in Tartus, and were carried out by a “couple” of Russian bombers. The strikes hit targets in Homs and Hama, but there is no presence of ISIS in those areas, a senior U.S. defense official said. These planes are hitting areas where Free Syrian Army and other anti-Assad groups are located, the official said. Activists and a rebel commander on the ground said the Russian airstrikes have mostly hit moderate rebel positions and civilians. In a video released by the U.S.-backed rebel group Tajamu Alezzah, jets are seen hitting a building claimed to be a location of the group in the town of Latamna in the central Hama province. The group commander Jameel al-Saleh told a local Syrian news website that the group’s location was hit by Russian jets but didn’t specify the damage. A group of local activists in the town of Talbiseh in Homs province recorded at least 16 civilians killed, including two children. According to a U.S. senior official, Presidents Obama and Putin agreed on a process to “deconflict” military operations. The Russians on Wednesday “bypassed that process,” the official said.

Syria Headline: Thirty pro-Assad forces killed in Nusra-led attack in Homs
Al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate Nusra Front launched an offensive on headquarters of the regime army forces in the central province of Homs, military sources reported on Tuesday. Rebels of Nusra Front attacked regime headquarters in several villages in the northern countryside of Homs, using heavy artillery and mortars. “Our fighters hit strongholds of pro-Assad forces with dozens of shells and missiles on Tuesday, killing more than thirty forces,” Nusra spokesman in Homs Hassan Abbara told ARA News on the phone. Nusra militants bombed regime headquarters in the villages of Ghadibiyah and Khifes north of Homs. Abbara said the operations come as a response to the regime airstrikes on residential areas in the rebel-held neighborhoods in Homs. “Pro-Assad forces have committed dozens of massacres against innocent civilians in Homs. We want to prove to this tyrannical regime that those peaceful civilians are not alone,” the Nusra spokesman said. In the meantime, clashes renewed between regime forces and militants of the Islamic State (ISIS) in the vicinity of al-Shaer oil field in Homs province. ISIS militants have been striving to take over the oil field for months as battles continue between them and regime army forces.

Kurdish Headline: Kurds take ground from ISIS in north Iraq
Kurdish forces said they drove ISIS out of several villages near the oil city of Kirkuk in northern Iraq Wednesday after U.S.-led coalition airstrikes targeted insurgent positions overnight. The assault, which began at dawn, is the latest of a number of offensives to consolidate Kurdish control over Kirkuk and drive the militants away. It also brought the peshmerga, the military forces of Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region, closer to the insurgents’ bastion of Hawijah. Kurdish counter-terrorism forces said in a statement they, along with the peshmerga, had driven the militants out of four villages southwest of Kirkuk. “At six in the morning, the peshmerga and counter-terrorism forces began to advance as part of a plan to clear several more villages from Daesh terrorists and advance to the vicinity of the Hawijah district,” read the statement.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also recently told CNN that the two countries are talking, and laid out his terms for such a deal. Iran and the U.S. recently struck a nuclear agreement meant to curb the country’s nuclear ambitions. Asked if talks on the Americans being held were making progress, Kerry said he has “raised them in all of our sessions. We’ve had a lot of conversations. We are continuing those conversations now.” Kerry did not reject the idea of a swap, though he would not discuss the details of the ongoing conversations, saying only, “I am hopeful that the day will come soon — obviously sooner rather than later — but soon when all of our citizens can come home.”

Headline: Afghan assault to retake Kunduz from Taliban collapses as militants surround airport
Headline: Today in Afghanistan – Update for Wednesday, September 30, 2015
A promised counterattack by Afghan forces aimed at retaking the strategic city of Kunduz from Taliban militants collapsed early Wednesday as hundreds of soldiers and civilians reportedly fled to the city’s airport, where they were surrounded by insurgent forces. The New York Times reported that the assault on Kunduz, a city of 300,000 in northern Afghanistan, may have been just the first part of a broader offensive by the Taliban. The paper reported that several military checkpoints and government buildings in Takhar Province, east of Kunduz, had also come under attack by militants. The Associated Press reported that Taliban fighters began fanning out across Kunduz itself Tuesday, closing roads, throwing up checkpoints and torching government buildings as fearful residents huddled indoors. Afghan forces attempting to retake the city were stalled by roadblocks and ambushes, unable to move closer than about a mile toward their target. Meanwhile, U.S. warplanes carried out two airstrikes on Taliban positions, and a NATO officer told the AP that more airstrikes were unlikely as “all the Taliban are inside the city and so are all the people.” He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief media on the issue. His words suggested the fight to retake the city would involve painstaking street-by-street fighting as government forces try to avoid civilian casualties in retaking control. Reuters reported that Afghan forces had expressed a reluctance to use attack helicopters and heavy artillery in urban areas.

Headline: District in western Afghanistan falls to Taliban, group claims
As the Taliban presses its northern offensive in Kunduz and Takhar provinces, the group has also continued to attack the Afghan government and military in other theaters. Early this morning, the Taliban claimed that it overran the Khaki Safid district in the southwestern province of Farah (all the way left on above map). “Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate [Taliban] in western Farah province launched a large scale attack midnight on Khak-e-Safid district center and all surrounding enemy positions,” the Taliban stated on its official website, Voice of Jihad. “The assault resulted in Mujahideen taking over the district administration building, police HQ, a large ANA [Afghan army] outpost and all surrounding enemy defense check posts as well as causing the enemy deadly losses and seizing a sizable amount of enemy arms and equipment.” The Taliban claim cannot be independently confirmed as the reporting in Afghanistan has focused on the deteriorating situation in Kunduz. But in the past, the Taliban has been accurate in its reporting of districts said to have been taken. September 30, 2015

President Barack Obama on Tuesday announced new partners in the anti-Daesh coalition. “The United States established and is leading a coalition of more than 60 partners committed to degrading and ultimately destroying ISIL, and today welcomed new coalition members Malaysia, Nigeria, and Tunisia to join those efforts,” Obama said. Obama’s announcement came during a counter terrorism summit on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meetings in New York. The American leader acknowledged that the campaign to counter militants would experience certain setbacks but was sanguine about end results. “Ultimately I am optimistic, in Iraq and in Syria ISIL is surrounded by communities, countries and a broad international coalition committed to its destruction,” he said. “We see that ISIL can be defeated on the battle field where there is sound organization and a government and military coordinating with this coalition, and our diplomatic efforts.”

At least two people died in clashes between gangs and militias in Central African Republic’s capital, where peacekeepers and pressure from international leaders have failed to halt more than two years of violence, witnesses said. Mourners brought one of the bodies to Bangui’s main morgue in a cart early on Wednesday, the latest victim in a five-day outburst of fighting between U.N. peacekeepers and Christian, Muslim and other groups, the worst the city has seen this year. The fresh violence has raised doubts about plans to hold elections on Oct. 18, meant to restore democracy in an impoverished country at the heart one of Africa’s most combustible regions following a rebellion and years of turmoil. One of the dead was killed in a mainly Muslim district and the other in a clash near the airport, witnesses said, without giving further details. Officials say at least 39 people have died since Saturday, but streets appeared calmer on Wednesday.

Burkina Faso’s interim government says the army has retaken the barracks of the presidential guard that staged a coup earlier this month. Earlier, a BBC correspondent in the capital Ouagadougou said shots and explosions were heard and smoke seen rising from the barracks. It is not clear if there were any casualties. The international airport in the city has now reopened. The army accuses the presidential guard of not laying down arms after the coup. Coup leader Gen Gilbert Diendere, whose whereabouts are still unknown, had called on the elite force to surrender “to avoid a bloodbath”. He told the AFP news agency that he feared there had been “many deaths” as the barracks were seized, as there had been families inside a building and a clinic inside the barracks. Troops are now searching the neighbourhood for members of the elite unit who were believed to be in hiding, a soldier told AFP. The army had surrounded the barracks all day on Tuesday and army spokesman Capt Guy Herve Ye said artillery was fired at the complex before soldiers moved in and took control.

Russia’s newest nuclear-powered submarine, the Alexander Nevsky, arrived in the far eastern Kamchatka region Wednesday, carrying Bulava nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, the Russian state news service Tass reported. The submarine, now a part of Moscow’s nuclear deterrent, arrives at its new port during a time of rapid Russian military modernization and renewed rivalry with the United States and NATO. The submarine, which is in the new Borei-class, made the journey from the Northern Fleet to the port of Vilyuchinsk in the farthest reaches of the country. It will join the Pacific Fleet, where its primary job will be to conduct strategic nuclear deterrence patrols in the Pacific Ocean, according to Tass. Over the last few years Moscow has moved rapidly to modernize the archaic Soviet hardware built during the Cold War. New extensive investment, expected to be total $400 billion by 2020, has seen Russia launch advanced fifth-generation stealth fighters, modern tanks and advanced ships over the last six years. It has also refitted its army with state-of-the-art weaponry and armor.

Headline: World set for emerging market mass default, warns IMF
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued a double warning over higher US interest rates, which it said could trigger a wave of emerging market corporate defaults and panic in financial markets as liquidity evaporates. The IMF said corporate debts in emerging markets ballooned to $18 trillion (£12 trillion) last year, from $4 trillion in 2004 as companies gorged themselves on cheap debt. It said the quadrupling in debt had been accompanied by weaker balance sheets, making companies more vulnerable to US rate rises. “As advanced economies normalise monetary policy, emerging markets should prepare for an increase in corporate failures,” the IMF said in a pre-released chapter of its latest Financial Stability Report. It warned that this could create a credit crunch as risks “spill over to the financial sector and generate a vicious cycle as banks curtail lending”. In a double warning, the IMF said market liquidity, or the ease with which investors can quickly buy or sell securities without shifting their price, was “prone to sudden evaporation”, particularly in bond markets, when the Federal Reserve started to raise interest rates. It said a steady growth environment and “extraordinarily accommodative monetary policies” around the world had helped to maintain a “high level” of liquidity. However, it warned that this was not the same as “resilient” liquidity that could support markets in time of stress.

Headline: Pastor Saeed Abedini Won’t Be Set Free Until the US First Releases 19 Iranian Criminals, Says President Rouhani
Naghmeh Abedini, the wife of imprisoned American Pastor Saeed Abedini, has slammed the apparent offer by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to free her husband in exchange for releasing Iranian prisoners being held in the United States. Naghmeh argued that her husband is not “collateral” to be treated as such. “My husband is not collateral. He is a father and a man who broke no law. Yet Iran is treating him like a pawn in a game of chess. President Rouhani’s demand that America release 19 criminals in exchange for his consideration of releasing individuals like my husband, imprisoned solely for his faith, demonstrates that the Iran of today is no different than the Iran who took Americans hostage during the Iranian revolution,” Naghmeh Abedini said. Rouhani, who has been pressured by leaders around the world to free the American pastor, was asked about the issue in an interview with CNN on Sunday. He suggested that the only way Abedini and other imprisoned Americans are going to be set free is if the U.S. government agrees to reach out with the same gesture to imprisoned Iranians. “If the Americans take the appropriate steps and set [a number of Iranians in the United States who are imprisoned] free, certainly the right environment will be open and the right circumstances will be created for us to do everything within our power and our purview to bring about the swiftest freedom for the Americans held in Iran as well,” Rouhani said. “If the Americans take the appropriate actions vis-a-vis Iranian citizens who are being imprisoned here, then the right atmosphere and environment will be created for reciprocal action perhaps,” he added.

Headline: Something odd is happening inside Saturn
We may have found water on Mars, but something far stranger is happening inside Saturn. Astronomers have noticed unusual movement in Saturn’s rings. Here’s the discovery in layman’s terms: Generally, the ice and rocks that make up the rings travel outwards because of the gravitational pull — but for some reason the debris seems to be moving towards the center of planet, leading scientists to believe something is moving deep within the gas giant. The astronomers speculate an object far beneath the surface is spinning at a speed of one rotation every seven hours. Scientists hope by studying the movement of the rings, they’ll be able to determine what’s going on inside the planet. “Even dropping a probe into the atmosphere would not necessarily help a lot, because the probe will only get down to a pressure of five or 10 atmospheres before it gets cooked or squashed,”the planetary scientist leading the analysis told Space.com. “We need to go much deeper to understand this.”

Headline: Hurricane Joaquin forms near the Bahamas
The Bahamas was bracing Wednesday for a brush with Hurricane Joaquin, which was on a projected track that would take it near the East Coast of the U.S. early next week. The hurricane was expected to pass near the islands of San Salvador, Cat Island, Eleuthera and Rum Cay late Thursday and early Friday, close enough that it could bring tropical-storm-force winds, coastal flooding and 5-10 inches (13-25 centimeters) of rain, said Geoffrey Greene, a senior forecaster with the Bahamas Meteorology Department. “We would be very concerned about them,” Greene said of the small, lightly populated islands in the far east of the Bahamas. The center of the storm was expected to be closest to land in the Bahamas about 2 p.m. Thursday, passing east of San Salvador, Greene said. Schools were ordered closed as of noon Wednesday in pasts of the eastern and central Bahamas. Forecasters expected the storm to drop about 3-5 inches (8-13 centimeters) in the central Bahamas, including Long Island and Exuma. The effects are projected to be minimal on New Providence, which includes the capital of Nassau, with scattered showers and thunderstorms. The U.S. National Hurricane Center long-term forecast showed the storm could near the U.S. East Coast above North Carolina early next week, but said it was too soon to say what areas would feel the effects of the storm.
