The Times of Israel published Saturday’s occasions as they unfolded.
Before a planned demonstration tonight in Tel Aviv that opposes government policy to address the economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, one of the organizers of the occasion is not intended to be a demonstration of opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“This is not a political protest, it’s a protest by the people,” Ronen Maili, head of the Israel Bars and Clubs Association, told the public television channel Kann.
Commenting on Netanyahu’s monetary aid program presented at a news convention Thursday, Maili described it as a “good performance,” but said the protesters sought immediate action.
“We have to see the cash in the bank. The age of naivety is over,” he says.
Although complementary to the help plan, Maili requests some changes.
“We’re business people. As long as it’s not closed, it’s not closed,” he said.
At least two doctors in the opposition-contested northwestern Syria have become inflamed with coronavirus, a surveillance organization reports, the most recent cases shown in the overcrowded enclave.
The new infections increase to 3 the number of instances shown in the region, where fitness services have been devastated during years of civil war and where it has been limited due to resource scarcity.
Observers fear that the virus could spread smoothly in Idlib province, a concern aggravated by Russia, a best friend of the Syrian government, which proposes to the UN Security Council to cut turkey’s cross-border aid.
Aid teams and UN agencies say such relief would hamper the delivery of life-saving assistance amid a global pandemic.
Doctors monitoring instances report that tactile tests and searches are being performed to verify and isolate and prevent the spread of the virus. The two new operators contacted the first user in the region who was inflamed: a doctor who had moved between other hospitals and cities.
“Anticipation is a catastrophic end result if there is no good enough containment of the initial instances or proper isolation,” says Naser alMuhawish of the Response and Early Warning Network, which is testing and tracking the virus. “Remember that we are in a crash zone. Doctors are already infrequent and have to move between more than one place.”
The first case was reported on Thursday and the hospital where the doctor works suspended operations and quarantined patients and care personnel for testing. Meanwhile, hospitals in northwestern Syria announced that they would suspend non-emergency procedures and outpatient facilities for at least a week. Schools had to close until further notice. Before the cases shown, only about 2,000 other people had been tested for the virus.

Tehran, Iran: Iran says it cannot shut down its sanctions-affected economy, even as the epidemic of the country’s new coronavirus worsens with record deaths and a buildup of infections.
Iran will have to continue “its economic, social and cultural activities in compliance with fitness protocols,” President Hassan Rohani said in a televised assembly of the organization underway on viruses.
“The simplest solution is to close all activities, (but) the next day other people would come out to protest the chaos (which resulted), hunger, hardship and pressure,” he adds.
The Islamic Republic has been fighting since last February to involve the COVID-19 epidemic in the country, the deadliest in the Middle East.
Ministry of Health spokeswoman Sima Sadat Lari reports that 188 others died from respiratory illnesses in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of deaths to 12635.
Iran’s death toll of COVID-19 has surpassed 100 since mid-June, with a one-day record of 221 reported on Thursday.
Lari raises the number of instances in the country to 255,117 people, with 2,397 new infections reported.
The growing number of victims of the epidemic has led the government to make the mask mandatory in closed public and allow the provinces most affected to re-impose restrictive measures.
Iran closed schools, canceled public occasions and banned among its 31 provinces in March, however, Rohani’s government gradually lifted restrictions from April to reopen its sanctions-affected economy.
Iran has suffered a severe recession after U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew from a historic nuclear deal in 2018 and the re-importation of crippling sanctions.
The International Monetary Fund predicts that Iran’s economy will shrink by 6% this year.

ISTANBUL – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan rejects the worldwide condemnation of Turkey’s resolve to turn the Byzantine-era monument of Hagia Sophia into a mosque, representing his country’s willingness to use its “sovereign rights.”
Erdogan, who is accused by critics of chipping away at the Muslim-majority country’s secular pillars, announced yesterday that Muslim prayers would begin on July 24 at the UNESCO World Heritage site.
In the past, it has called for the magnificent construction to be renamed as a mosque.
“Those who take an opposite step to Islamophobia in their own country (…) they attack Turkey’s willingness to use its sovereign rights,” Erdogan said in a rite he attended in a video conference.
Loving tourists from all over the world, the Basilica of Hagia Sophia was first built as a cathedral in the Byzantine Christian Empire, but then became a mosque after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453.
Erdogan’s announcement came here after a high court overturned a 1934 cabinet resolution through the secular founder of modern Turkey Mustafa Kemal Ataturk to maintain the church that had a mosque as a museum.
“We take this resolution not through what others still say through what our right is and what our country wants, as well as what we have done in Syria, Lithrougha and other places,” the Turkish leader said.

Anti-Netanyahu protesters, some dressed in shirts with the words “crime minister,” are asked to withdraw through the organizers of the economic demonstration, according to public broadcaster Kann.
The organizers of tonight’s protest said the demonstration was “apolitical” and not directed at Netanyahu.
Lawmakers of the Kakhol lavender party are expressing aid to tonight’s demonstration in Tel Aviv as opposed to the government’s economic policies, the coronavirus pandemic.
“Protesters express justified anguish,” Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn wrote on Twitter.
Nissenkorn, former head of the Histadrut Labor Federation, says a monetary aid program presented Thursday through Prime Minister Netanyahu and Finance Minister Israel Katz is a “step in the right direction, but we will have to provide a budget that brings economic certainty and growth engines.”
As a component of the coalition agreement between Kakhol Lavan and Netanyahu’s Likud, the components agreed to adopt a two-year budget. Citing the pandemic, Netanyahu is now calling for a one-year budget, which can allow him to call new elections without having to hand over the prime minister to Defense Minister Benny Gantz, the leader of Kakhol Lavan.
“We will insist that the budget be converted in 2021 and provide protection for businesses, the self-employed and the unemployed,” says Nissenkorn.
Kakhol Lavan MP Ram Shefa also expressed himself for the demonstration.
“Every protest is important, but the demonstration today is critical. Ahead of the budgetary decisions our role here is to ensure that no members of the coalition will continue to forget what the right national priorities are at the moment,” he tweets.

Tel Aviv resident Ruti Arenfeld said she attended the demonstration in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square to show solidarity with many of her friends who lost their jobs due to the government’s crippling restrictions to prevent the pandemic.
“I’m not here to make a political statement. Some other people are looking to do this regarding Bibi’s corruption, but I think it’s a mistake,” he says as a boy walks past it with a sign that says “the corrupt go home, “next to a photo of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I’m here to ask the government to do what it promised. Transfer cash to workers and small businesses,” Arenfeld continues.
“You told them to close and they did. Now it’s up to you before it’s too late,” he adds.
While organizers described the demonstration as apolitical, some of the protesters chanted “Bibi [Netanyahu], Move Home,” in what he gave the impression of being the feeling of many participants.
Dozens of police officers roam Rabin Square and its surroundings, some of them sending a pre-recorded message calling on protesters to stick to government rules about coronavirus by staying two metres away and dressed in masks.

A fuel explosion reportedly rocked a residential construction site in Tehran, Iran, injuring a resident.
The explosion caused by several fuel cylinders in the basement of the construction that exploded, Reuters reported, bringing in Iran’s official IRNA news agency.
The incident is amid a series of mysterious explosions in Iran, adding one that caused extensive damage to a facility used to produce centrifuges at the Natanz nuclear site.
A Middle Eastern official told the New York Times and The Washington Post that Israel was the July 2 explosion in Natanz.
The attack showed the complexity of the Stuxnet virus that sabotaged Iran’s enrichment centrifuges a decade ago, experts and analysts said in a new report Friday. Officials familiar with last week’s Natanz explosion told the New York Times that it is likely the result of a bomb placed at the facility, potentially on a strategic fuel line, but that it is not beyond doubt that a cyberattack would be used to cause a malfunction that led to the explosion.
UNITED NATIONS – The United Nations Security Council is voting on a solution that would make greater deliveries of humanitarian aid to northwestern Syria, which is overwhelmingly controlled by rebels from Turkey, a single crossing point, as Russia has insisted.
Russia, Syria’s greatest vital ally, argued that aid would be provided from inside the country through the shock lines and that only one crossing point was needed.
The United Nations and humanitarian teams have argued in vain, with the vast majority of the UN Security Council, that two cross-issues are providing assistance to the 2.8 million people in need in the North West, specifically with the first case of COVID-19 recently reported in the region.
Today’s vote ends a week of high-risk rivalries between Russia and China, and the other thirteen board members who voted twice to keep Turkey’s two cross-affairs in service until the end of their terms on Friday.
On both occasions, Russia and China vetoed the solutions: Russia’s 15th and 16th vetoes of a Syrian solution since the confrontation began in 2011 and China’s 9th and 10th.
Germany and Belgium, which sponsored the widely supported resolutions for two crossing points, were forced to retreat under the risk of Russian veto, and their new draft would allow only one crossing point of Turkey for a year.
The effects of the email vote of the 15 members of the Security Council are expected to be announced later in the day.
