Turkey intended to present this as the start of broader joint operations against the Kurds in general, with suggestions that they could be expanded into Syria to target the YPG.

Top US General Denies Plans to Leave 1,000 Troops in Syria

Top US-General bestreitet Pläne, 1.000 Soldaten in Syrien zu lassen
Das könnte bedeuten, dass die Forderungen nach mehr Truppen, die zweifellos von den Falken der Verwaltung kommen, nicht die todsichere Sache sind, als die das Wall Street Journal sie präsentiert. Es könnte andererseits bedeuten, dass die Verwaltung noch nicht bereit ist, die neuen Zahlen öffentlich bekannt zu geben, und nur darauf bestehen wird, dass die Medien lügen, bis zu einem Datum irgendwann in der Zukunft, an dem es günstiger ist, die Zahlen offiziell zu machen.
Why Is Israel‘s Attorney General Delaying Probe Into Netanyahu?
(2. Dezember 2016)
We will soon find out whether there was any justification for the months-long “examination” ordered by Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit into reporedly explosive information about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his closest associates, nothing of which has yet been revealed to the public. No previous attorney general has ever spent months “examining” information before either closing the case or ordering a criminal investigation.
Gantz demands AG probe whether Netanyahu leaked Iran phone hack claims
“Given that the ‘hack’ reportedly took place a long time ago, and given that it’s inconceivable that a source in the security services would leak details about an alleged ‘Iranian hack,’ and noting the timing of the ‘leak’ [in the middle of an election campaign] — it was clearly done by someone who has access to sensitive defense information and possesses an interest in harming Gantz,” the party charged in an official appeal to Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit on Saturday night.

Unlike Vote Leave, the Remain campaign kept their entire voter database after the referendum, despite going through several new incarnations as Open Britain and now People‘s Vote. Yet the regulators have no problem with them carrying on using their vast database…
The Information Commissioner‘s Office has fined ‚Vote Leave‘ £40,000 after an investigation found it sent more than 196,000 text messages promoting the aims of the campaign ahead of the 2016 EU referendum and was unable to provide evidence recipients had given their consent
40 candles of solidarity: An international birthday for Rachel Corrie
It is true that President Donald Trump will not find time on Rachel’s 40th birthday to commemorate his fellow American who was brutally crushed by the Israeli occupation army, while the congressional sessions will avoid mentioning her name on this occasion. However, through this young brave woman, America presented a loyal face in its international expression of noble human values, as Rachel Corrie’s name inspired a generation of solidarity activists after her who then carried loudspeakers to defend human rights, justice, and the people’s freedoms and to combat injustice, aggression and war crimes.
