The Interior Ministry updated the number of protesters who took part in the nationwide protests to 136,000, with 1,220 people arrested and armored vehicles, 89,000 troops, and police used pepper spray trying to keep order.

3…………> Opposite Attract: Kushner & Bin Salman

 

“Bin Salman’s] initial approaches to the Palestinians were rejected by their leaders, and their resistance stiffened after the Trump administration recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital without waiting for a negotiated agreement on the city’s status. By the time of the inauguration Mr. Kushner was already arguing that under the influence of Prince Mohammed, Saudi Arabia could play a pivotal role in advancing a Middle East peace deal,” according to Time magazine.

“The relationship between Jared Kushner and Mohammed bin Salman constitutes the foundation of the [Donald] Trump policy not just toward Saudi Arabia, but toward the region,” CFR’s Martin Indyk suggested as the reason why the U.S. has become so close to Saudi Arabia.

After the White House had imposed restrictions on conversations that to Trump’s adviser and son-in-law, they were continuing their discussions, even in the aftermath of the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, reaching a point where they were on a first-name basis with one another.

4…………> Trump, Stay Away From France: Minister

 

“The Paris Agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris. Protests and riots all over France. People do not want to pay large sums of money, much to third world countries (that are questionably run), in order to maybe protect the environment,” President Trump remark regarding the mayhem in the Islamic Sheikdom of France drew the fury of Foreign Minister, Ayatollah Jean-Yves Le Drian who told him to mind his own business.

“I am telling Donald Trump … We don’t take part in the American debates, let us live our life of a nation. France doesn’t interfere in U.S. domestic politics, and Washington should do the same”, Ayatollah Drian told France 24.

According to a recent survey, 84% of the righteous believers — mostly from the middle-income group — support the protests against 20 % rise of fuel prices this year.

1…………> Deport Food Stamp Holders” ICE

 

Immigrants currently in US who get public benefits like food stamps or housing vouchers could be denied green cards, under a new proposal from President Donald Trump’s administration, satisfying a campaign pledge to make immigration to the United States more difficult, and to reduce the number of people allowed to stay in the country. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Saturday that under the proposed rule change, being a current or previous recipient of sure public aid would be seen as a “heavily weighed negative factor” in considering an application for lawful permanent residency.

“This proposed rule will implement a law passed by Congress intended to promote immigrant self-sufficiency and protect finite resources by ensuring that they are not likely to become burdens on American taxpayers,” Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said.

2…………> Revenge Down Under: Tiger Sharks

 

Following two attacks on swimmers, Australian officials captured and shot three tiger sharks in the Whitsunday Islands region, a popular tourist destination near the Great Barrier Reef. The biggest of the predators was 3.3 meters (10.8 feet) long, with the other two measuring 2.6 and 2 meters from nose to tail. “While sharks of this size are potentially very dangerous to humans, it is unclear if they were responsible for injuries caused to two swimmers this week,” Fisheries Queensland said in a statement.

3…………> Ban The Burqas: Switzerland

 

Voters in the northeastern Swiss canton of St. Gallen on Sunday overwhelmingly approved a new law that would see facial coverings such as the burqa banned in public, with two-thirds casting a ballot in favor of the legislation under the Swiss system of direct democracy. One other Swiss canton that of Italian-speaking Ticino in the south introduced a similar law two years ago. The law was approved against the will of the regional St. Gallen government, which will now be obliged to implement the result. The outcome is valid despite just 36-percent turnout at the referendum. The Swiss Federal Cabinet initially wanted to leave decisions on whether to introduce legislation against full-face coverings up to the individual cantons. However, it will now likely hold a national referendum on the issue next year after activists from the populist right-wing Swiss People’s party last year collected the more than 100,000 signatures needed to trigger one.

4…………> The Lost Ark: In Search Of

 

The Ark of the Covenant, which is believed to have disappeared around 587 BC when the invading forces of Babylon destroyed Jerusalem, and described as a wooden crate covered with gold containing the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments that were handed down from God to Moses, is still on minds of treasure finders.

Theories regarding its possible whereabouts range wildly, from being hidden beneath the Temple Mount, to being guarded by a tribe in Africa, or even being captured by the US. Noah’s Ark Rocked By Artificial Insemination Claim Daily Star Online took a look at the likely locations for the Biblical artifact. The most obvious is that the Ark of the Covenant remains hidden deep beneath the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. More than 76 miles away is another possible Ark location, Lake Tiberias, better known as the Sea of Galilee, which some theorists believe is the place where the scared chest was sunk into.

5…………> Dead Fish: Florence Aftermath

 

US fire crews dealing with the clean-up operation after hurricane floodwaters receded made an unexpected discovery: dead fish spread across the highway. The flooding from the deadly hurricane pushed the fish from their natural habitat and scattered them along an interstate highway; the Penderlea Fire Department posted on Facebook on Saturday.

 “Well, we can add ‘washing fish off of the interstate’ to the long list of exciting things firefighters get to experience!. ​Hurricane Florence caused massive flooding in our area and allowed the fish to travel far from their natural habitat, stranding them on the interstate when waters receded,” the fire department reported.

The death toll from the deadly Hurricane Florence has reached 43 people, with 17 districts of North Carolina having hundreds of roads closed so far; drivers are urged not to move through the territories of these districts unless necessary. There are more than 50 thousand houses left without electricity.

1…………> The “Days Of Wine & Roses: Ivanka In Jerusalem

 

“Remember this moment. This is history. President Trump, by recognizing history, you have made history,” Israel PM Netanyahu said. “The embassy of the most powerful nation on earth, the United States of America, our greatest ally, today its embassy opened here.”


“We are in Jerusalem, and we are here to stay,” Netanyahu added, to loud applause. “Thank you, president Trump, for having the courage to keep your promises.”

A visibly jubilant Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sat next to Ivanka Trump and presidential adviser Jared Kushner during the ceremony, said that today was a “glorious day.”

 The festive ceremony held despite violent protests by Palestinians which have already claimed nearly 40 lives, including a 14-year-old boy, and wounded hundreds more, 27 critically, included a congratulatory video message from President Trump, who didn’t attend the ceremony.


2…………> Shia Super-Power: Iran

Iran, a major military power in the Middle East with an estimated 534,000 active personnel in the army, navy, air force and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), ranked No. 13 in the world out of 136 countries. 

Iran’s population of 82 million offers a deep reservoir of manpower, a key factor in sustaining long wars of attrition such as the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War.

Iran’s asymmetric strategy uses regional allies and proxies, known as the “axis of resistance,” as leverage to weaken, bog down, deter or fight Iran’s enemies away from its soil.

Will Quds Force and its Hezbollah allies start a new war against Israel following the Jerusalem embassy initiation? Don’t bet against it.

3…………> Gun Runner: Italy

An Italian national named Giovanni Zannoni, 35, a former member of the Italian military was convicted of weapons trafficking and was returned to his home country ICE officers.

In May 2017, Zannoni entered the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) with authorization to remain in the United States until August 2017. One day after his entry, Zannoni was arrested by HSI and charged in U.S. District Court-Eastern District of New York (EDNY) with weapons trafficking. On Sept. 22, 2017, Zannoni was convicted in EDNY of a violation of the Arms Export Control Act and sentenced to 11 months imprisonment. Additionally, he agreed to forfeit $436,673, gun parts, and night vision and thermal imaging devices. Zannoni was transferred to ICE custody in April 2018, while the agency finalized his return.

4…………> US Jerusalem Embassy: War Drums? 

At least 41 people had died, and more than 1000 people had been injured in the fighting, about 450 of them by live bullets in the highest Palestinian death toll in a single day since a series of protests dubbed the Great March of Return began at the border with Israel on March 30 and since the 2014 Gaza war. 


Senior White House adviser, and the US President’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, officially opened the relocated embassy.
“On behalf of the 45th President of the United States of America, we welcome you officially, and for the first time, to the embassy of the United States here in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel,” she said. 
 
 

The protests intensified on the 70th anniversary of Israel’s founding, with loudspeakers on Gaza mosques urging Palestinians to join a “great march of return”, and black smoke from tires burned by demonstrators rose into the air at the border. 

“Today is the big day when we will cross the fence and tell Israel and the world we will not accept being occupied forever,” said Gaza science teacher Ali, who declined to give his last name. 
“Many may get martyred today, so many, but the world will hear our message. Occupation must end.” 
Among the Palestinians killed on Monday were a 14-year-old boy and a man in a wheelchair. 
The man in the wheelchair had been pictured on social media using a slingshot. 
The latest casualties raised the Palestinian death toll to 84 since the protests began on March 30. No Israeli casualties have been reported. 

Most countries say the status of Jerusalem — a sacred city to Jews, Muslims and Christians — should be determined in a final peace settlement and that moving their embassies now would prejudge any such deal.

5…………> AG Sessions Precedent: Immigration Ax

The fate of tens of thousands of illegal border crossers and immigration law violators court cases could be soon in the hands of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who has intervened into the immigration system by reviewing, and rewriting, precedent-setting decisions affecting hundreds of thousands of pending immigration court backlog rulings, including all those who are arrested and put into the deportation process in future.

By taking cases from the Board of Immigration Appeals — the Department of Justice agency that serves as a quasi-appellate body for immigration court cases — and referring them to himself to issue a decision instead, he could make it impossible for cases to be resolved or paused by using attorney general power to set immigration precedents.
