Defense Minister Benny Gantz said his Kakhol Lavan party’s ministers would make the plan of “signal lights” of crown tsar Ronni Gamzu to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gantz sits with Gamzu before an assembly of the so-called coronavirus cabinet, when the plan is approved after a vote to adopt it, it has been delayed several times.
Kakhol Lavan’s boss told Gamzu that the Ministry of Defence is preparing to space on The Israelis returning from Ouman to Rosh Hashanah in special hotels for the coronavirus, “according to the framework that will be agreed between [Gamzu] and the team of ministers.”
Gamzu expressed opposition to allowing the Israelis to go to Ouman for Rosh Hashanah, warning that those returning from Ukraine can simply spread the virus to Israel. Ukraine announced last week that it would close its borders to non-citizens in September.
Efforts to save the pilgrimage to Ouman, the tomb house of the respected Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav, have infuriated members of the Hasidic sect and some of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s ultra-Orthodox allies.
U.S. national security adviser Robert O’Brien, speaking to Netanyahu and Kushner as a joint appearance, said Israel’s security remains a “top priority” in the White House and promotes U.S. Middle Eastern policy under U.S. President Donald Trump.
He said the long-term of Israel and the Arab countries “has never been brighter” and expressed the hope that the Jewish state would soon identify diplomatic relations with other states in the region, following the standardization agreement between Jerusalem and Abu Dhabi.
“God bless Israel and God bless the United States of America,” O’Brien says.
Speaking after O’Brien, Jared Kushner said the conclusion of the Israel-UAE agreement “is a long and winding road.” Advances like this, he says, don’t “happen often” and don’t “happen easily.”
Kushner lists a number of pro-Israel management policies, adding Jerusalem’s popularity as Israel’s capital and Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and also promotes the assassination of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and U.S. movements in the region.
He said the publication of Trump’s peace proposal was the “big breakthrough” that led to the agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. “There will be many more to come.”
He says the president has “written a script for a new Middle East,” from his first presidency to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Rome. “It has reversed 20 years of poor effects in the Middle East” and laid the foundation for progress.
“Many people have described the state of the Middle East as desperate,” Kushner recalls, but in recent weeks “I have felt a new sense of optimism… The level is now set for more [chords], ” he says. Array
He adds: “Four years ago, my father-in-law [Trump] asked me to paint about peace in the Middle East. I gave it my all. There are still many paintings to be done, but Abraham’s agreement [with the United Arab Emirates] is a big step forward. Participating in the creation of the [standardization agreement], and I say this as the grandson of two Holocaust survivors, means more to me and my circle of relatives than I will ever be. We will continue to seek peace between Israel, the biblical homeland of the Jewish people, and their Arab and Muslim neighbors, and I have never been so positive about peace.
Finally, Kushner said, the president asked him to emphasize how proud he is “of the bond he has been about to re-establish between the United States and Israel.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu speaks at a press convention at his official in Jerusalem after a meeting with senior adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and national security adviser Robert O’Brien.
Netanyahu says “it’s a special pleasure” to host the delegation before it travels together with Israeli officials tomorrow on the first ever commercial passenger flight between Israel and the United Arab Emirates
“This will pave the way for other countries to normalize their relations with Israel. I think the Palestinians have had a veto on peace for too long. Not between Israel and the Palestinians, but between Israel and the Arab world,” he said. referring to the agreement negotiated through the United States for Israel and the United Arab Emirates to normalize relations.
He added: “If we wait for the Palestinians, we will have to wait forever. Not anymore.”
Palestinian leaders have strongly criticized the United Arab Emirates for accepting normalization with Israel.
Praising Trump’s peace proposal, Netanyahu says no Jew or Palestinian will have to leave their homes, that Israel will be able to annex West Bank areas and maintain security west of the Jordan Valley.
He says the Palestinians, when they realize their veto has dissipated, “will struggle to stay out of the peace community.”
Other states “are online” to make peace with Israel, the prime minister said, noting that Kushner had been ridiculed for suggesting that this procedure might take place. “We know the truth has replaced,” Netanyahu says, “because we have replaced it.”
On Iran, Netanyahu praised Trump’s leadership for opposing Tehran’s “war machine” and fleeing the nuclear deal restricting Iran’s nuclear program.
BERLIN – Senior German officials condemn attempts by far-right demonstrators and others to provoke a typhoon in the construction of parliament following a protest against the country’s pandemic restrictions.
Hundreds of people, some with the German Reich flag of 1871-1918 and other far-right banners, broke a security fence in front of the Reichstag last night, but were intercepted by police and forcibly evicted.
“The Reich flags and far-right provocations against the German Bundestag are an unbearable attack on the center of our democracy,” German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said today. “We’ll never settle for that.”
Steinmer said others have the right to express their anger at restrictions on coronaviruses and to them publicly, adding demonstrations.
“My sympathy ends where protesters are used through enemies of democracy and political agitators,” he adds.
Police used pepper spray to repel protesters, who had attended a giant rally in the capital that same day.
About 300 people were arrested in front of the Reichstag and following an incident at the Russian embassy, according to police.
Berlin’s most sensible security official, Andreas Geisel, praised three officials who opposed the Reichstag’s open-air protesters alone until reinforcements arrived. Opposition parties criticize the inability of the police to place enough officials in Parliament despite far-right public warnings that they were making plans to verify entry to the building.
Robert Habeck, the co-leader of Germany’s Green party, calls for a thorough investigation into the incident.
“The fact that the Nazis with imperial flags are looking for a typhoon in the Bundestag is a reminder of the darkest era in German history,” he told media group Funke.
“An incident like Saturday night won’t happen again,” Habeck said. “I hope that The Minister of the Interior (federal), Horst Seehofer, will fight decisively against right-wing extremism at all levels.
Opinion polls show overwhelming support for the prevention measures imposed by German authorities, such as the requirement to wear masks on public transportation, in stores and in some public buildings such as libraries and schools.

Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, leader of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, said he is running for a solution that allows hajj to go on to Uman.

Only by killing an Israeli soldier will Hezbollah be persuaded that deterrence has been restored, ending tensions on Israel’s northern border, said Lebanese terrorist Hassan Nasrallah.
“I need to be clearer than ever: when Israel kills one of our fighters, we will kill one of its soldiers,” Nasrallah said at a televised conference on the occasion of the Ashura festival.
Tensions have emerged between Hezbollah and Israel since Israel allegedly killed Hezbollah commander Ali Kamel Mohsen in an airstrike on 20 July near Damascus airport. Overall, Israel does not comment on express movements in Syria, it has stated that Israeli forces are making such air movements.
Nasrallah says Israel hopes to allow an exchange of chimneys that would damage assets at once and end the escalation.
“That’s the equation. We’re going to blow up iron sites, fences and tanks. [The enemy] has all the money in the world to update them. That’s what creates deterrent to Israel,” he says.
According to Nasrallah, Hezbollah fighters operating along the border fence in recent weeks had refrained from attacking Israeli drones and aircraft while they were killed by an Israeli soldier.
“Israel knows we weren’t there for a device to destroy. We went to get a soldier to kill,” Nasrallah added. Then he hid all his soldiers. Like mice hiding.
“It’s a matter of battlefield. It’s only a matter of time. And we’re in no hurry,” he warns.
