The Times of Israel records Tuesday’s occasions as they occur.
The coronavirus tsar, Ronni Gamzu, said at a news convention that Arab-majority regions are experiencing a strong buildup of coronavirus infections.
“Local government in Arab regions sees it, feels very unstable, creates cycles of infection,” he says. “I call on society and Arab leaders to act. It’s a mess.”
He notes that he continues to oppose the lockout measures, but says Israel’s infection rate is among the highest in the world, creating a “confusing situation, among the most confusing in the world.”
Gamzu says Israel has reached a point where it records deaths consistent with the month.
He also pointed to the chimney over the Hare politicians who were driving flights to Ukraine for Rosh Hashanah, which he strongly opposed.
“I’m not leaving the post, but if I don’t have the equipment to alleviate the morbid, I have nothing to do in the post,” he says.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas criticizes what he calls the “illusion of peace for peace” an assembly with UK Foreign Minister Dominic Raab, according to the Palestinian Authority’s official WAFA news agency.
“Peace will not be achieved by jumping the Palestinians to normalize relations with Arab states. This will not be done in the form of the ghost of peace for peace. On the contrary, this will be done on the basis of foreign law and the Arab Peace Initiative, which stipulates that a peace agreement with the Palestinians must be concluded first,” Abbas said.
Abbas referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statements that the recent agreement to normalize relations with the United Arab Emirates noted “peace opposed to peace.” According to Netanyahu, previous treaties with Arab states were based on the exchange of “land for peace.”
A group issued across the United States, Israel and the United Arab Emirates earlier this month said that Israel had agreed to suspend its plan to annex parts of the West Bank in exchange for a complete normalization of relations. The Palestinian Authority accused the United Arab Emirates of stabbing the Palestinian cause in the back by accepting peace with Israel before an Israeli-Palestinian agreement.
Raab is ready to press for the resuming of Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts and urging Israel to abandon annexation plans altogether.

The UK joined other Security Council members on Thursday to reject US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s request to reinstate sanctions, the US abandoned the deal at Israel’s 2018 2018.
There is no notice from Raab or his office.
IAEA leader Rafael Grossi said relations with the UN nuclear agency are “intense” and that some unrest remains open as it travels to Tehran for the first time.
“We’ve encountered some issues [where] we still have to succeed in an agreement,” he said.
“We have, with Iran, a lot of problems that we are working together on,” Grossi said. “It’s going to go on.”
