Ya'alon's comments came as Russia and China vetoed a Western-Arab UN Security Council resolution backing an Arab League call for Assad to step aside. The other 13 council members voted in favor of the resolution, which would have said that the council "fully supports" the Arab League plan. Ya'alon also referred to claims that Israel was sustaining Assad's rule in wake of political turmoil in Syria, saying that it was factually untrue because Israel never took a stand saying it was interested in the survival of Assad's regime. The vice prime minister spoke of the aftermath of Assad's possible ouster, saying that there could be various outcomes in such a situation, some of which could be positive as far as Israel is concerned, like a fissure in the Tehran-Damascus-Beirut-Hamas axis of evil. When asked if he felt Assad would be forced to step down, the vice PM said that it was still unclear but that Assad was losing his legitimacy and it was a matter of both time and of lives lost.

Cohen said that it did not matter whether or not Israel in fact took out the nuclear scientists, but that a serious country like Iran could not let this go on. They want to deter Israel and extract a price so that decision makers in Israel think twice before they order an attack on an Iranian scientist. He added that Iran was working very hard abroad through the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to hit Israeli targets.

The travel recommendations calls on American tourists to dress appropriately when visiting religious sites in the Old City and in haredi neighborhoods and to avoid driving through those neighborhoods during the Sabbath. The recommendation follows statements made by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who, speaking at the Saban Conference two months ago, expressed her shock that some busses in Jerusalem allocated separate seating areas for women.

The pipeline, which also supplies gas to Jordan, has come under attack at least 12 times since Mubarak was toppled in 2011. The latest blast took place west of the Mediterranean coastal town of el-Arish. Egypt's 20-year gas deal with Israel, signed in the Mubarak era, is unpopular with some Egyptians, with critics accusing Israel of not paying enough for the gas. Previous explosions have sometimes led to week-long shutdowns along the pipeline. Egypt said in November it would tighten security measures along the pipeline by installing alarm devices and recruiting security patrols from Bedouin tribesmen in the area.

Naim told his players that the fans would hate losing against Sakhnin, without spelling out the obvious reason. In retrospect, his words probably demoralized his team: Sakhnin enjoyed their evening in Jerusalem, taking the lead in the first half through a Ahmed Kasoum goal, and adding two more in the second half. Beitar's fans reacted with racist chants - before someone swiftly played music on the stadium's PA system to drown out the embarrassment that already caused Beitar to be docked two points this season. After the game, Beitar's fans called for Naim to resign, and hurled stones at the Sakhnin fans' bus. Police arrested 12 people - eight Sakhnin fans and four Beitar fans - after skirmishes erupted. |
