Israel varoittaa CIA:ta: Iranin presidentti erittäin epävakaa ja julma​



Asiantuntijoiden mukaan uuden ydinsopimuksen aikaansaaminen voi osoittautua vaikeaksi.



Israelin tiedustelupalvelu Mossad on luovuttanut Yhdysvaltain keskustiedustelupalvelu CIA:lle tietoja Iranin tuoreesta presidentistä Ebrahim Raisista, kertoo uutissivusto The Times Of Israel.
Jerusalemissa vieraileva CIA:n johtaja William Burns tapasi tiistai-iltana Mossadin johtajan David Barnean.
Burnsille esiteltiin tietoja, joiden tarkoituksena oli osoittaa Iranin presidentti Ebrahim Raisin olevan henkisesti häiriintynyt, epäluotettava ja kykenemätön neuvottelemaan uudesta ydinsopimuksesta tai pitämään kiinni sitoumuksistaan, uutisoi Channel 12 -media.
Barnean kerrotaan antaneen Burnsille asiakirjan, joka kuvailee Raisia poikkeuksellisen äärimieliseksi, julmaksi, korruptoituneeksi ja epävakaaksi.
– Mossad kuvaili häntä henkilöksi, jolla on mielenterveydellisiä ongelmia, Channel 12 kertoo viittaamatta lähteeseen.
Äärikonservatiivinen Raisi toimi aikaisemmin Iranin oikeuslaitoksen johtajana, ja häntä on syytetty osallistumisesta tuhansien poliittisten toisinajattelijoiden teloituksiin Irakin-Iranin sodan loppupuolella vuonna 1988.
Iran sitoutui vuonna 2015 solmittuun monenkeskiseen ydinsopimukseen ja sai vastineeksi sitoumuksistaan helpotuksia talouspakotteisiin. Yhdysvallat irtautui Iranin ydinsopimuksesta vuonna 2018 entisen presidentti Donald Trumpin kaudella ja määräsi maalle uusia pakotteita.
Yhdysvaltain Presidentti Joe Biden on sanonut USA:n palaavan Iranin ydinsopimukseen, jos Iran jatkaa sopimuksen noudattamista tiukasti. Palaaminen sopimukseen toimisi kuitenkin vain lähtökohtana jatkoneuvotteluille. Yhdysvallat ei siis palaisi sopimukseen sellaisenaan ilman reunaehtoja.
Israel vastustaa sopimusta, ja sen hallinnon virkailijat ovat keskustelleet moneen otteeseen yhdysvaltalaisten kollegoidensa kanssa ydinneuvotteluista.
Iran on huhtikuusta lähtien käynyt Wienissä epäsuoria neuvotteluita Yhdysvaltojen kanssa sopimuksen jatkamisesta. Neuvottelut ovat viime aikoina olleet kuitenkin pysähdyksissä.
 
Israel’s prime minister has called on citizens with gun licences to arm themselves after the bloodiest attack in years in greater Tel Aviv, which marked the third such killings spree in the Jewish state in a week.

“What is expected of you, Israeli citizens? Vigilance and responsibility,” the country’s far-right leader, Naftali Bennett, said in a video statement on Wednesday evening. “Whoever has a gun licence, this is the time to carry it.”

Bennett, who spoke from his home where he is in quarantine after testing positive for Covid, had earlier said the country was facing a “new wave of terror”.

The back-to-back attacks have left Israelis and Palestinians bracing for further violence.

The defence minister, Benny Gantz, announced he had ordered 1,000 soldiers to bolster police forces, and Israel’s military presence in the Palestinian territories it occupies has been reinforced.
 
A prolific Middle East team with links to Hamas is said to be using malware and infrastructure to target high-ranking Israeli officials and steal sensitive data from Windows and Android devices.

The advanced persistent threat (APT) group – known by some as APT-C-23, Arid Viper, Desert Falcon, and FrozenCell, among other names – set up an elaborate cyberespionage campaign, spending months rolling out fake Facebook accounts to target specific potential Israeli victims, according to Cybereason's Nocturnus threat intelligence team.

"These fake accounts have operated for months, and seem relatively authentic to the unsuspecting user," the security shop's Nocturnus outfit wrote in a report released today.

"The operators seem to have invested considerable effort in 'tending' these profiles, expanding their social network by joining popular Israeli groups, writing posts in Hebrew, and adding friends of the potential victims as friends," the researchers found.

"Over time, the operators of the fake profiles were able to become 'friends' with a broad spectrum of Israeli citizens, among them some high-profile targets that work for sensitive organizations including defense, law enforcement, emergency services and other government-related organizations."
 
More than 20 Palestinians and Israelis have been wounded in several incidents in and around Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque compound, two days after major violence at the flashpoint site.

The clashes on Sunday take the number of wounded since Friday to more than 170, at a tense time when the Jewish Passover festival coincides with the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

They also follow deadly violence in Israel and the occupied West Bank starting in late March in which 36 people have been killed.
 
Palestinian militants fired volleys of rockets from Gaza into Israel, which responded with air strikes in the early hours of Thursday in the biggest escalation since an 11-day war last year.
A rocket from Gaza on Wednesday evening fell harmlessly in a garden in the southern Israeli city of Sderot, police said.
Israel struck back in central Gaza after midnight, witnesses and security sources said, prompting further launches of at least four rockets by militants in the besieged territory.
Israel said its jets had targeted a military post and a tunnel complex "containing raw chemicals used for the manufacturing of rocket engines".
Hamas, the Islamist movement which rules the Gaza Strip, said it had fired surface-to-air rockets at Israeli planes.
The exchanges come after nearly a month of deadly violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories, focused on Jerusalem's flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount.
Israeli police said Thursday that dozens of rioters had thrown stones and petrol bombs from the mosque.
"A violent splinter group is stopping Muslim worshippers from entering the mosque and causing damage to the site," the police alleged.
Seven Palestinians, all residents of Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, had been arrested on suspicion of taking part in "violent incidents" on Wednesday, it added.

- 'Death to the Arabs' -

Hours earlier, Israeli police had blocked crowds of Jewish ultra-nationalist protesters from approaching the Muslim quarter of Jerusalem's Old City, aiming to head off an escalation after four weeks of violence that have left at least 36 people dead.
Last year, a similar ultra-nationalist march had been scheduled in the Old City when Hamas launched a barrage of rockets towards Israel, sparking the 11-day war.
Early Wednesday evening, more than 1,000 ultra-nationalist demonstrators waving Israeli flags had gathered, some shouting "death to the Arabs", but police blocked them from reaching Damascus Gate and the Old City's Muslim quarter.
Far-right lawmaker Itamar Ben Gvir, a controversial opposition politician, led the protest after being barred from the Damascus Gate area earlier in the day by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
"I'll say it clearly, I'm not going to blink, not going to fold," Ben Gvir told AFP, as his supporters chanted "Bennett go home!"
"I'm not allowed to enter Damascus Gate," the former lawyer said. "Based on what law?"
Bennett said earlier that he had blocked the rally for security reasons.
"I have no intention of allowing petty politics to endanger human lives," he said.
"I will not allow a political provocation by Ben Gvir to endanger IDF (Israeli army) soldiers and Israeli police officers, and render their already heavy task even heavier."
Ben Gvir retorted Thursday that "some Jews don't surrender to Hamas".

- 'Deeply concerned' -

Tensions are high as the Jewish Passover festival coincides with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Palestinians and Israeli Arabs carried out four deadly attacks in Israel in late March and early April that claimed 14 lives, mostly civilians.
A total of 23 Palestinians have been killed since March 22, including assailants who targeted Israelis, according to an AFP tally.
On Tuesday, Israel carried out its first strike on Gaza in months, in response to the first rocket since January from the Palestinian enclave.
UN chief Antonio Guterres said he was "deeply concerned by the deteriorating situation in Jerusalem".
He added that he was in contact with the parties to press them "to do all they can to lower tensions, avoid inflammatory actions and rhetoric".
Bennett, himself a right-winger and a key figure in Israel's settlement movement, leads an ideologically divided coalition government.
His coalition this month lost its majority in the 120-seat Knesset, Israel's parliament, after a member left in a dispute over the use of leavened bread products in hospitals during Passover.
Then on Sunday, the Raam party, drawn from the country's Arab-Israeli minority, suspended its support for the coalition over the Al-Aqsa violence.
Right-wing lawmakers are under pressure to quit Israel's government, which is seen by some on the right as being too favourable to Palestinians and Israel's Arab minority.
 
Hamas vastuullinen terrorista

Pakko yrittää saada näkyvyyttä heillä ja toisaalta provosoida Israelia vastatoimiin/ylilyönteihin, kun maailman huomio on kiinnittynyt Ukrainaan, ja Venäjän sotarikokset siellä latistaneet kaiken terän Israelin toimista valittamisesta.
 
An Al Jazeera reporter was shot dead during an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, with Palestinians and the news channel accusing Israel of killing her and Israel's leader saying she was likely hit by Palestinian fire.

Shireen Abu Akleh, 51,a Palestinian-American, was wearing a press vest that clearly marked her as a journalist while reporting in the city of Jenin, the Qatar-based outlet said.

She was covering the latest arrest operation launched by the Israeli military amid deadly Arab attacks in Israel. The death of a prominent, veteran reporter for the popular news channel seemed likely to add more fuel to a surging conflict.

The Israeli military said its troops came under heavy fire during the Jenin operation. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, in a statement, said "it appears likely that armed Palestinians - who were firing indiscriminately at the time - were responsible for the unfortunate death of the journalist."

The Palestinian health ministry said Abu Akleh had been hit in the head by gunfire. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Al Jazeera described her death as blatant, cold-blooded murder by Israeli forces.

"Very sad to learn of the death of American and Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh," Tom Nides, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, wrote on Twitter. "I encourage a thorough investigation into the circumstances of her death and the injury of at least one other journalist today in Jenin."

In a statement, the Israeli foreign ministry said Israel "will be conducting a thorough investigation" and it called on the Palestinian Authority to cooperate "to get to the truth".
 
Liitteenä artikkelissa video aikamoisesta mellakasta ja pamputuksesta:


Ei ole koskaan tuolla seurannut hyvää tällaisesta…. Tästäkö se taas lähtee? Mutta täytyy kyllä ihailla, miten kurinalaisesti ja rohkesti Israelin poliisi videolla hyökkää väkijoukon taltuttamiseksi, vaikka ovat selvästi määrällisesti alakynnessä.
 
Viimeksi muokattu:
Eikös jotkin hizbollahit tms. käyneet juuri putella kylässä? Olisko saaneet rahasalkun lisäksi toimintaohjeita levottomuuksien lietsonnan aloittamiseen?

Jos haluaa, niin voi miettiä voisiko ampuja olla Israelin joukoissa ollut venäläismyyrä tai muu sleeper-agentti? Onhan siellä runsaasti venäläisiä ja taatusti joukossa myös fsb:n sun muiden akronyymien agentteja.

Siinä vaiheessa jos vanja lähtee Israelin kanssa agenttisotaan, alkaa omissa soida ja kovaa. Israel toimii tarvittaessa aivan yhtä häikäilemättömästi, mutta huomattavasti tehokkaammin.
Perinteisestihän Israelilla on ollut linja, että jos Venäjän tiedusteluelimet tappavat Israelissa jonkun (vaikka olisi vain turistina Israelissa), alkaa venäläisiä agentteja kuolla toisaalla.
 
Mielenkiintoinen käänne: Venäjän S-300 patteri ampunut Israelilaista hävittäjää. Toinen rintama Venäjän kannattaa varmasti avata, ja ehdottomasti Israelia vastaan.
