Ausstieg unwahrscheinlich, da US-Verstärkungen in Syrien eintreffen
Über 2.000 US-Soldaten sind auf einem Dutzend Stützpunkten in Syrien stationiert, vor allem im Nordosten. Es wird berichtet, dass die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika die Stützpunkte weiter ausdehnen, indem sie Umfassungsmauern, Verteidigungsgräben und Hubschrauberlandeplätze bauen.

East Med: How much natural gas are we talking about?
Ever since the discovery of Tamar of 10 trillion cubic foot gas capacity, in January 2009, and then of the Leviathan Reserve in December 2010, of a 22 trillion cubic feet capacity of natural gas within the Israeli EEZ and of „Aphrodite“ within the Cypriot EEZ in December 2011, with stocks of 4.2 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, things are on the right track.
After Trump‘s Warning to Iran This Week, Israel Follows Suit: Regime Is in Its ‚Final Days‘
(26.4.2018) After President Donald Trump met with French President Emmanuel Macron this week, where he warned that Iran will “pay a price like few counties have ever paid,” Israel echoed that sentiment and said the regime is in its “final days” due to its nuclear and regional ambitions like in Syria.
“They know that the Iranian regime is in its final days and will soon collapse,” Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman told the Arab publication Elaph.
Pompeo Backs Israel’s Right to Defend Border With Gaza
President Donald Trump’s chief diplomat was concluding his first-ever international trip after being sworn in on Thursday. He landed in Amman on Sunday after stops in Brussels, Riyadh and Tel Aviv.
“We do believe the Israelis have the right to defend themselves, and we’re fully supportive of that,” Mr. Pompeo said at a joint press conference with Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi.
A fifteen year old Palestinian boy is the latest casualty of the deadly protests that have rocked Gaza, bringing the death toll to 45.
Azzam Oweida, 15, was hit in the head during protests in southern Gaza on Friday, the city’s health ministry said.
The death brings the number of people killed to four and hundreds wounded in the fifth consecutive Friday of protests, where thousands of Palestinains gathered near the heavily guarded border.
For Gaza Protester, Living or Dying Is the ‘Same Thing’
Say what you will about root causes and immediate ones — about incitement and militancy, about siege and control, about who did what first to whom — one thing is clear. More than a decade of deprivation and desperation, with little hope of relief, has led thousands of young Gazans to throw themselves into a protest that few, if any, think can actually achieve its stated goal: a return to the homes in what is now Israel that their forebears left behind in 1948.
Supreme Court president pleads with Netanyahu not to endanger democracy
The Israeli public believes if the Supreme Court is denied the capacity to strike down laws enacted by the Knesset, there will be no checks on the government and it will have unlimited power.
True. But my understanding is that the Russians were unhappy because they had received less advance warning than for previous Israeli air raids against Iranian or Hezbollah assets in Syria
If Israeli airstrikes did target key parts of Iran‘s military infrastructure in Syria it is worth noting that Russia‘s vaunted air defence systems did nothing to stop them
A reminder that Russia and Iran are cobelligerents in Syria but not allies: each has its own reasons to prevent regime change in Syria. But Russia is not interested in destroying its relationship with Israel (and Egypt and other Sunni Arab states) just to please Iran+Hezbollah
Israeli minister threatens to strike ‘Iranian footholds’ in Syria and Tehran
(26.4.2018) Israel’s Minister of Defence has vowed to destroy any “Iranian foothold” in Syria, and even strike Tehran if Tel Aviv is attacked. Avigdor Lieberman made his comments in an interview with Saudi-owned Elaph news site on Thursday during his trip to Washington for meetings with US officials.
As of 9:57 p Pentagon has declined comment on the incident or whether US assets are involved. @CENTCOM earlier said it wasn‘t aware of any action near Hama and hasn‘t gotten back to me on further questions about the incident and any US involvement.

Einem Jungen die Schuld an der Kugel des Scharfschützen geben, die ihn tötete
Nichts davon ist überraschend. Und wenn der Bildungsminister – dessen wichtigste Errungenschaft die Vertiefung des Militarismus in israelischen Schulen und der eklatante Versuch, jede Art von humanistischer Erziehung zu beseitigen – einen ermordeten 15-jährigen Jungen für seinen eigenen Tod verantwortlich macht, „weil er nicht in der Schule war“, spiegelt das Gefühl des Ekels einen neuen Tiefpunkt des Bösen wider, einen Galopp in die Tiefen der Unmoral.
