Israel Will Vote Sunday To Annex West Bank Lands Delineated In Trump's 'Peace Plan'

 

Immediately following Trump's unveiling details of his 'deal of the century' Mideast peace plan alongside Israeli PM Netanyahu at the White House, Netanyahu announced that Israel will move forward to vote Sunday to annex some 30% of all West Bank territory.

 

Netanyahu said that "Israel will apply its laws to the Jordan Valley and to the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria." This means a million or so Palestinian residents could come under Israeli rule, which sparked a fierce backlash both internationally and among some members of US Congress.

 

"This is not a peace plan. It is theft. It is erasure," Left-wing congresswoman Ilhan Omar tweeted following Trump and Netanyahu's midday remarks.

 

It was immediately seen by many pundits as setting up Israeli hardliners for a big land grab which concedes all to Israel without even consulting the Palestinian side on the 'deal', per The Washington Post:

 

The package is expected to propose a redrawn border between Israel and the West Bank that would formalize Israeli control over large Jewish settlements. It would give U.S. blessing to some forms of Israeli security control over the territory Israel seized in 1967 and has occupied since, according to two people familiar with the plan who spoke on the condition of anonymity before the plan’s release.

 

Another Democrat, Michigan representative Andy Levin, slammed the plan for not in reality being a "two-state solution" - instead he noted it's "in name only".

 

"Don't be fooled," Rep. Levin wrote on Twitter. The proposed plan not is not promising "a lasting peace that will protect Israel's future as a democratic homeland for the Jewish people or fulfill Palestinians’ aspirations for self-determination," he said.

 

Aside from Hamas and the Palestinian Authority under Abbas immediately rejecting the plan to which they were not privy, nor had any negotiating role (after already declaring it would be dead on arrival), Turkey was among the first internationally to condemn it.

 

The Turkish Foreign Ministry called it "still-born" and further described it as "an annexation plan aiming to destroy the two-state solution and seize Palestinian territories."

 

"The people and land of Palestine cannot be bought off," the foreign ministry statement added.

 

It also appears there won't be much support at the UN for the new plan: "U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says the United Nations remains committed to supporting Palestinians and Israelis in resolving their conflict on the basis of U.N. resolutions, international law and bilateral agreements," the AP reports.

 

Referencing the the pre-1967 borders, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said, “The position of the United Nations on the two-State solution has been defined, throughout the years, by relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions by which the Secretariat is bound.”

Government Forces Continue Advancing In Southern Idlib, Western Aleppo After Liberation Of Maarat Al-Numan

 

Units of the Syrian Army and its allies continued advancing in souther Idlib and western Aleppo after the liberation of the key town of Maarat al-Numan (located on the M5 highway).

 

It appears that forces of Hayat Tahir al-Sham (the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda) and its Turkish-backed allies are in disarray amid the recent setbacks in Greater Idlib.

 

According to pro-government sources, government troops liberated a part of the Rashidin 5 neighborhood, the Khan Tuman farms and several other points in southwestern Aleppo.

 

In southeastern Idlib, army units, led by the Tiger Forces, advanced west and southwest of Maarat al-Numan aiming to clear the entire countryside of he town from militants. According to local sources, the current main goal of the army is to clear the part of the M5 highway between Khan Shaykhun and Maarat al-Numan. The town of Saraqib is also a high priority target, but it’s unlikely that the army will advance towards it, while its rear in southeastern Idlib is not secured.

Two Top GOP Senators Request Barr Declassify Four Footnotes In Horowitz Report, Saying Section Of Report Misled Public

 

Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee and Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee have formerly requested that Attorney General William Barr declassify four footnotes in Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on the FBI’s FISA abuse investigation. The letter states that the classified footnotes contradict information in Horowitz’s report that appears to have misled the public.

 

U.S. Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, sent the classified letter Tuesday evening and questioned the contradiction between the footnotes and what was made public by Horowitz’s team regarding the bureau’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation. However, the Senator’s did not disclose what section of the December FISA report contradicts the footnotes in their findings.

 

Specifically, we are concerned that certain sections of the public version of the report are misleading because they are contradicted by relevant and probative classified information redacted in four footnotes, letter states.

 

The Senator’s state in their letter to Barr that certain sections of Horowitz’s report on the FBI are misleading the public.

 

Part of the classified letter, which was obtained by SaraACarter.com states:

 

“We have reviewed the findings of the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) with regard to the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and we are deeply concerned about certain information that remains classified,” the letter states. “Specifically, we are concerned that certain sections of the public version of the report are misleading because they are contradicted by relevant and probative classified information redacted in four footnotes. This classified information is significant not only because it contradicts key statements in a section of the report, but also because it provides insight essential for an accurate evaluation of the entire investigation. The American people have a right to know what is contained within these four footnotes and, without that knowledge, they will not have a full picture as to what happened during the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.”

 

Johnson and Grassley’s office noted that “for maximum public transparency, the senators wrote a separate unclassified cover letter to describe their request.”

Coronavirus grown in Australian laboratory hailed 'breakthrough' in race to develop vaccine

 

Australian scientists have replicated the deadly coronavirus in laboratory conditions in a medical breakthrough that could give health experts crucial information to combat the virus.

Researchers at Melbourne's Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity have become the first to recreate the virus outside of China.

The lab-grown virus - which was developed from an infected patient - will be shared with the World Health Organisation before being given to labs across the globe.

The Royal Melbourne Hospital's Dr Julian Druce, Virus Identification Laboratory Head at the Doherty Institute, said this was a significant breakthrough.

 

"Chinese officials released the genome sequence of this novel coronavirus, which is helpful for diagnosis, however, having the real virus means we now have the ability to actually validate and verify all test methods, and compare their sensitivities and specificities - it will be a game changer for diagnosis," Dr Druce said.

"The virus will be used as positive control material for the Australian network of public health laboratories, and also shipped to expert laboratories working closely with the World Health Organization (WHO) in Europe."

Researchers across the world are trying to develop a vaccine to stop people dying from the coronavirus.

McConnell says GOP lacks votes to block impeachment witnesses, as Bolton book throws trial script into doubt

 

The White House’s plans for a speedy trial were thrown into doubt with Senate Republicans on Tuesday floating competing proposals on how to deal with new explosive revelations from ex-national security adviser John Bolton that have the potential to blow up the impeachment trial – and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell telling Republicans he doesn’t have enough votes to block the calling of impeachment witnesses.

 

GOP senators were all over the map on Tuesday as President Trump’s defense team called Bolton’s manuscript “inadmissible” and warned against opening the door to new wild-card information in the ongoing trial.

 

A source with knowledge of McConnell’s comments confirmed to Fox Business that the Kentucky Republican told people in a private meeting Tuesday they did not have the votes to block impeachment witnesses. The Wall Street Journal first reported the comments.

 

Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., called for Bolton’s unpublished manuscript to be made available for senators to read in a classified Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility [SCIF] to understand what Bolton was alleging. His proposal got an ally in influential Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who called the idea a “reasonable solution.”

 

Some senators suggested that Bolton just spill the beans in a news conference on the sidelines of the impeachment trial.

 

“The Wall Street Journal has called for John to just come forward – just tell the public what you know,” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said. “I think that actually [would] be a smart thing. I’d encourage John to do that without involving the trial.”

 

The creative suggestions came after The New York Times reported Bolton’s manuscript included a claim that Trump explicitly linked a hold on military aid to Ukraine to an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden. Trump told Bolton in August, according to a transcript of Bolton’s forthcoming book reviewed by The Times, “that he wanted to continue freezing $391 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens.”

‘We Had No Idea He Was That Important’: US Nuclear Engineer Revealed as Key Soviet Spy

 

Newly declassified documents have revealed the incredible extent to which Soviet intelligence was able to penetrate America’s nuclear weapons program in the 1940s. While three spies were previously known, the identity of a fourth has been revealed, and he gave Moscow perhaps more information than anyone else on how to build an atom bomb.

 

Oscar Seborer was the child of Polish Jewish immigrants, born in New York in 1921. He studied electrical engineering at Ohio State University, was drafted in 1942, and went to work on the Manhattan Project, the US’ top secret program to develop an atomic bomb before Nazi Germany - or the Soviet Union. He witnessed the 1945 Trinity test, the first artificial nuclear detonation, proving the viability of the atom bomb.

 

He was also a Soviet spy by the codename “Godsend,” and for the Soviet Union’s nuclear program he was just that, feeding the communist bloc more information on how to build the advanced, highly destructive weapon than any other person.

 

Historians Harvey Klehr and John Earl Haynes have revealed the extent of Seborer’s espionage in a new paper on the spy’s life and actions. They draw on newly declassified reports from the US Central Intelligence Agency detailing the myriad secrets available to Seborer, who fled to the USSR in 1951.

 

“It’s fascinating,” Klehr told the New York Times. “We had no idea he was that important.”

 

While working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, Klehr helped craft some of the most essential features of the first nuclear weapons, including those hardest to replicate, such as the firing circuits for their detonators, according to the documents. His insights helped the Manhattan Project engineers rapidly miniaturize the warhead, enabling it to be used in a transportable weapon dropped from an airplane and, eventually, placed on top of a missile.

 

In particular, Seborer designed an “unbelievably complicated” implosion trigger that would ensure an evenly spherical compression of the warhead, which was necessary to trigger the runaway fission reaction that gives a nuclear bomb its wildly powerful explosive yield.

 

Alex Wellerstein, a nuclear historian at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, told the Times the Soviets “spent a lot of time looking into the detonator-circuitry issue,” noting that Seborer’s contributions “could have been unique” among all of Moscow’s spies in the program.

 

“I don’t know if any of the other known spies would have had access” to the kind of secrets Seborer did, he told the Times, noting Seborer and his comrades “might have filled a gap” for Soviet scientists.
