kingdom to be “on maximum alert.”
In France, on that same day, a terrorist killed three people at a church in Nice.
Muslims have been uprising since a French school teacher showed his students cartoons of Islam’s prophet Mohammed. Muslims have also called for the boycott of French products.
Although Saudi Arabia has expressed outrage by the cartoons, it is far more muted than in other countries. The Saudi Foreign Ministry has said the kingdom “rejects any attempt to link Islam and terrorism, and denounces the offensive cartoons of the prophet.” Saudi clerics have condemned the caricatures, but have also cited Islam “mercy, justice, tolerance.” Another prominent sheikh called on Muslims not to overreact.
Diplomatic posts have been targeted in the past. A 2004 armed assault on the U.S. Consulate in Jeddah which was blamed on al-Qaeda killed five employees. In 2016, a suicide bomber blew himself up near that same U.S. Consulate, wounding two guards.
Top Fatah Militant Killed
On Saturday, a senior commander of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades was killed in a refugee camp near Nablus.
Hatem Abu Rizek was 35 years old. He was affiliated with Mohammed Dahlan, a former Fatah operative who is Mahmoud Abbas’ competitor.
It is unclear how Abu Rizek died. Some say he was shot by Palestinian Authority security officers during clashes in the area. PA security forces deny that account and say that Abu Rizek was killed when a hand grenade he was throwing blew up in his hands.
Three years ago, Abu Rizek and other Fatah gunmen from the Balata area in the West Bank turned themselves into PA security forces after they were accused of imposing a reign of terror on Palestinians in the Nablus area. A year later, Abu Rizek was arrested on suspicion of receiving funds from Dahlan.
At least five others were injured during clashes between Fatah groups in Balata over the weekend. There have been rising tensions between those who support Dahlan and PA security forces.
Last week, clashes erupted between the two sides in the Al-Ama’ri refugee camp, near Ramallah, after PA security forces arrested a number of Fatah activists for their alleged affiliation with Dahlan.
The PA suspects that Dahlan, who is based in the United Arab Emirates, has been funding several Fatah members in the West Bank as part of an effort to undermine Abbas loyalists. Some Palestinians regard Dahlan as a leading candidate to replace Abbas.
Dahlan, who heads a group named Democratic Reform Current, was expelled from Fatah in 2011.

NEW YORK CITY 969 Park Avenue, Suite 1E New York, New York 10028 F-22 Sale OKed
According to senior sources in Tel Aviv, President Trump has approved the sale of F-22 stealth fighter jets to Israel. This was communicated to Israeli officials by U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper during a visit to the Holy Land last week.
Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, a publication owned by Saudi Arabia and based in London, reported on the milestone on Friday. Before the fighter jet would be able to come to Israel, though, U.S. Congress would first need to overturn a current law barring Washington from exporting the advanced fighter jets. The House of Representatives passed the law in 1998 over concerns that the unparalleled stealth technology in the F-22 could fall into the hands of Russia or China if the aircraft were sold abroad, including to Israel.
Israeli defense officials asked to buy the F-22 – one of the world’s most advanced fighter jets – to maintain Israel’s qualitative military edge in the region after the U.S. agreed to sell F-35 fighters to the United Arab Emirates, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported on Tuesday.
This is not the first time that Israel has expressed interest in the F-22 jets, but previous requests were denied. The United States had actually halted production of the fighter jet in 2011 and legally barred its sale to other countries.
Interestingly, Trump is not the first American president to recommend selling the specialized jet to Israel. At the end of his second term, in 2001, then-President Bill Clinton said that he would approve such a sale but ultimately left the decision in his successor George W. Bush’s hands.
Esper and Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz have met three times in the past few weeks. Esper also met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Ministry Director-General Amir Eshel and Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi during his trip last week.
On Thursday, U.S. Congress was notified that the White House wishes to sell F-35s to the United Arab Emirates. The plan is to sell as many as 50 units of the Lockheed Martin-made jets for roughly $10.4 billion. Israel has ordered the same number of F-35s from the U.S., although not all of them have been delivered yet.
Mass Druze Funeral Held
A mass funeral for a Druze sheikh in which thousands of people took part took place on Saturday after his body was snatched from the hospital. The funeral for Sheikh Abu Zain Al-Din Hassan Halabi was held in the Golan border town of Majdal Shams, which was under lockdown due to its number of active Covid-19 cases per
capita, the highest in Israel.
Most of those at the funeral wore masks and many appeared to be trying to observe social distancing guidelines.
In addition to the ceremony, which took place in a large field, a funeral procession was held.
The funeral came after rioters from Majdal Shams broke into Safed’s Ziv Medical Center on Friday evening to take the body of the sheikh, who died from coronavirus hours before.
Government officials had been seeking to prevent the mass funeral due to the already high morbidity rate in Majdal Shams. They had been working on a compromise, which would have seen the ceremony held at an outdoor gymnasium with a limited number of participants. Opponents of the compromise broke into Ziv hospital before an agreement was reached.
After securing Halabi’s body, his followers set out on a funeral procession from the town of Mas’ade to nearby Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights.
“How do they not understand that a procession like this in the most inflamed area of the country is simply a disaster?” Deputy Health Minister
Yoav Kisch wrote Saturday on Twitter. “This will cost them and us hundreds of infected, serious patients and unfortunately probably also fatalities. Frustrating and sad.”
Yesh Atid MK Gadeer Mreeh, who is Druze, condemned the incident.
“This behavior isn’t befitting of the esteemed status of the late honorable sheikh,” she tweeted. “All of us must listen and act in accordance with the Health Ministry instructions.”
Druze residents of Majdal Shams and the Golan are Syrian in origin and are permanent residents of Israel but not citizens, unlike Druze in other areas of Israel, who have historically made major contributions to public service in the country, especially in the realm of security.
Vaccine Trials Begin
Segev Harel has made history.
The 26-year-old is set to receive the first dose of an Israeli Covid-19 vaccine. In a video posted over the weekend, Harel said he was healthy and feeling optimistic in participating in this “historic opportunity.”
Clinical trials for the Brilife vaccine, developed by the Israel Institute for Biological Research, began on Sunday at the Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan and at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem.
“I think everything will be OK, I’m even sure of it,” said Harel, an undergraduate student from Kibbutz Sde Nehemia in northern Israel, introducing himself as the first Israeli due to receive a shot in a video released by Sheba Medical Center.
“A lot of people have been harmed by coronavirus, health-wise, psychologically and economically. And if the small contribution I can make is to participate in this trial and give hope that we’re on the way to end the pandemic, I’ll have played my part,” he said.
The person who was set to be the first to get the shot, Boaz Kolodner, 47, was forced to withdraw from the trial after tests discovered he had coronavirus antibodies.
Harel was tapped to receive the first dose of the vaccine at Sheba. A 34-year-old doctoral student received a dose at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital on Sunday.
After receiving the dose, the recipients need to remain in the hospital for 24 hours so doctors can monitor them. Some participants will be receiving a placebo instead of the vaccine.
The first phase of the clinical trial is expected to last roughly a month and will involve some 80 volunteers ages 18 to 55.
The second phase in December will test roughly 1,000 volunteers ages 18 to 85 at eight hospitals around the country. In this phase, volunteers with pre-existing conditions will be allowed to participate.
If that larger group responds well to the vaccine, injections will then be given to some 30,000 people in April or May 2021. If the vaccine works well and there are no significant side effects, it will then be approved for full use in the general population.
Last Monday, the Defense Ministry announced that Israel had begun mass-producing the potential coronavirus vaccine and plans to distribute it to both Israelis and Palestinians if it is approved for use.
“In six months, the vaccine will be ready. In the meantime, the institute is working on mass production, without knowing whether the vaccine is good or not, so that we don’t reach a situation that in July, when we receive approval from the Health Ministry, we’ll be held up by production,” Prof. Amos Panet, who is on the advisory board for the Israel Institute for Biological Research, told Army Radio.
The director of the state-run institute, Shmuel Shapira, said it will produce 15 million doses in the first stage and estimated the shot could be ready by July.
The Defense Ministry has so far produced 25,000 doses for the first and second phases of the human trials. The vaccine was first tested on small animals – mice, hamsters and rabbits – and then on pigs.
The vaccine is named Brilife, a combination of the Hebrew word for health, bri’ut, and life. The name also contains the abbreviation for Israel, IL, as well as the letters that make up the initials of the laboratory, IIBR.
Temple Mount Protests
Friday saw hundreds of people protest on Temple Mount. The crowd were outraged by French President Emmanuel Macron’s vow to protect the right to caricature the Prophet Muhammad. Three people were arrested after scuffles with police.
The protestors chanted, “With our souls and with our blood we sacrifice for our prophet, Muhammad” and other “nationalist slogans.”
They also called Macron “the enemy of G-d.”
Hundreds of Palestinians also reportedly participated in a march condemning Macron’s remarks in Jerusalem’s Kafr Aqab neighborhood and in the neighboring Qalandiya refugee camp.
Demonstrators wore headbands declaring insulting Muhammad to

be a red line and waved flags emblazoned with the Islamic declaration of faith.
It was not just Jerusalem that saw the ire of Muslims. Muslims protested around the world.
An estimated 2,000 worshippers celebrating the Mawlid, the birthday of Islam’s prophet Muhammad, took to the streets in the eastern Pakistan city of Lahore. Crowds led by Islamic parties chanted anti-France slogans, raised banners and clogged major roads en route to a Sufi shrine.
Dozens of people stomped on French flags and cried for the boycott of French products. In Multan, a city in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province, thousands burned an effigy of Macron and demanded that Pakistan sever ties with France.
In Afghanistan, members of the Islamist party Hezb-i-Islami set the French flag ablaze. Its leader, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, warned Macron that if he doesn’t “control the situation, we are going to a third world war and Europe will be responsible.”
Over the past week, protests and calls to boycott French products have spread rapidly from Bangladesh to Pakistan to Kuwait. Social media has been pulsing with anti-France hashtags. Muslim leaders, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in particular, have loudly criticized France for what they say is the government’s provocative and anti-Muslim stance.
An Inside Job?
Police are still confounded after valuable statues were stolen from an archaeology and art museum in Kibbutz HaZore’a in August.
Thirty-three rare items of south and east Asian origin were taken, some dating to the first and second centuries, in total valued at some NIS 2 million, according to a Channel 12 news report.
The robbery devastated members of the community, many of whom visited the collection on a monthly basis, often with their children.

Especially beloved by the kibbutz residents was a statue called “The Guard,” a brightly colored 1-meter tall statue of a Chinese soldier, meant to protect a tomb during the Tang Dynasty period in the 7th to 10th centuries, which was placed near the entrance to the museum.
“I grew up with him,” one kibbutz member said of the statue.
The collection also connected the community to its roots. The museum was founded with items bequeathed to the struggling community in its fledgling years by businessman Wilfrid Israel. Israel engineered the emigration of thousands of Jews, including his Jewish employees, to prestate Israel in the 1930s and 1940s, saving thousands of lives.
He played a key role in the Kindertransport which saved 10,000 German Jewish children, taking them to the UK without their parents in 1938.
The museum at the kibbutz today is named after Israel.
Video footage of the theft shows that the three thieves crossed a lawn from the dining hall to the museum in the early morning. They disabled the security cameras by breaking them and using poles to push them aside. The alarm did not go off.
They are seen a few minutes later with some artifacts. But then, two hours later, they come back again to the museum for more loot, using sacks from the laundry room to hold their spoils.
Kibbutz members are suspecting that it was possibly an inside job. They say that the artifacts were probably not taken off the kibbutz that night and that at least one of the thieves was possibly a resident of the kibbutz.
Now, months after the break-in, police still have no leads. Birth
In a historic change of policy, the United States will now allow American citizens born in Jerusalem to list “Israel” as their country of birth on their passports and other consular documents.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the reversal of a decades-old policy on Thursday. In the past, in an effort to appear “neutral,” the U.S. had only allowed U.S. citizens who were born in Jerusalem to list “Jerusalem” and not “Israel” on their consular documents and passports. If individuals were born prior to the creation of the State in 1948, their country of birth was listed as “Palestine.”
According to Pompeo, the policy change is “effective immediately” and is “consistent” with U.S. President Donald Trump’s 2017 decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and subsequently move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to the holy city.
The new policy will allow U.S. citizens to choose between “Jerusalem” or “Israel” as their place of birth; those who refrain from choosing will by default continue to be issued documents with their place of birth listed as “Jerusalem.”
Other policies on listing places of birth in Israel, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights, Jerusalem, and the West Bank remains unchanged, according to the statement.
Israel Trip
Israel: Country of
Forgiven
Because Israel and Lebanon are technically still at war, a visit to Israel by Lebanese citizens is forbidden. This week, though, Lebanon’s prosecutor general decided to “forgive” a trip to the Holy Land by former auto tycoon Carlos Ghosn in 2008 because the statute of limitations had expired.
Three lawyers filed a motion in January calling for the 66-year-old businessman to be prosecuted over his trip to the Jewish state as Renault-Nissan chairman.
