ISIS聯軍在莫桑比克酒店困住了180多人
“幾乎整個城鎮都被摧毀了；液化天然氣項目現場的一名工人在電話中告訴法新社。
帕爾馬酒店內困了180多人，其中包括外國公民，殺死了“幾人”，這是連續三天在莫桑比克北部的一個天然氣樞​​紐鎮進行了連續三天的激戰。早晨。
政府表示，安全部隊正在努力恢復帕爾馬市的秩序，該市週三遭到三管齊下的襲擊後，該市毗鄰價值600億美元的天然氣項目，該項目由包括道達爾在內的公司牽頭。
“幾乎整個城鎮都被摧毀了。液化天然氣項目現場的一名工人在與新聞社的電話中說，許多人已經死亡。
這位工人告訴法新社，“噹噹地人逃到叢林中時，包括外國人在內的液化天然氣公司的工人逃往了阿瑪魯拉酒店（Amarula），在那裡他們正被搶救。”
另一位能源工人說，他目睹週五早些時候直升飛機飛越酒店，試圖找到“一條走廊，以營救被困在酒店的約180人。”他說：“但是直到夜幕降臨，許多人仍留在場所，而激進分子則試圖向旅館前進。”
自從2017年以來，該省一直受到伊斯蘭叛亂分子與伊斯蘭國有聯繫的襲擊。該法國石油巨頭表示，出於安全原因將暫停該項目後，將繼續開展該項目。
人權組織在周五的一份聲明中說：“數名目擊者告訴人權觀察，他們看到青年黨武裝分子向人群和建築物開火後，街上有屍體逃逸，居民逃離。”
這次襲擊是帕爾馬（Palma）上的第一次重大襲擊，該事件使數家國際公司尋求利用十年來最大的天然氣發現獲利。
由於安全問題，道達爾在1月暫停了該地點的活動，並要求政府在其周圍建立25公里（15英里）的“特殊安全區”，作為返回的條件。帕爾瑪（Palma）屬於該區域。
政府表示，由於與該鎮的通訊中斷，因此沒有有關人員傷亡或損壞的消息。
據參與保護帕爾馬行動的安全消息來源說，政府簽約的直升機提供空中支援，是一小群人逃離道路。
道達爾沒有立即就襲擊對其行動的影響發表評論。

伊朗與中國簽署25年合作協議
2016年，中國是伊朗最大的貿易夥伴之一和長期盟友，同意在未來十年內將雙邊貿易增長10倍以上，達到6000億美元。

迪拜-中國和伊朗外交部長周六在國家電視台現場直播的儀式上簽署了兩國盟友的25年合作協議。
伊朗官方媒體援引中國外交部長王毅對伊朗外交部長穆罕默德·賈瓦德·扎里夫（Mohammad Javad Zarif）的話說：“兩國之間的關係現已達到戰略夥伴關係水平，中國尋求全面改善與伊朗的關係。”
伊朗新聞機構早些時候援引中國外交大臣王毅的話說：“我們與伊朗的關係不會受到當前局勢的影響，而是永久的和戰略性的。”
伊朗獨立決定與其他國家的關係，不像某些國家通過一個電話改變立場。
Wang在協議簽署之前會見了總統哈桑·魯哈尼（Hassan Rouhani），該協議有望包括中國在能源和基礎設施等關鍵領域的投資。魯哈尼對北京在德黑蘭與世界大國的2015年核協議中的支持表示讚賞，並呼籲向伊朗出口更多的冠狀病毒疫苗，伊朗是中東大流行病最嚴重的國家。魯哈尼說：“兩國之間的合作對於執行核協議和歐洲國家履行義務非常重要。”關于冠狀病毒疫苗，有必要加强两國之間的合作，我們希望從中國提供更多的疫苗。”
伊朗媒體援引魯哈尼的顧問赫薩姆丁·阿希納（Hesameddin Ashena）的話說，該協議是“成功外交”的一個例子。“一個國家的優勢在於其加入聯盟而不是保持孤立的能力。”
伊朗外交部發言人賽義德·哈蒂布扎德（Saeed Khatibzadeh）說，該文件是貿易，經濟和運輸合作的“路線圖”，“特別側重於雙方的私營部門”。

中國商務部周四表示，北京將努力維護2015年伊朗核協議，維護中伊關係的合法利益。

中國商務部周四表示，中國將努力維護伊朗核協議，維護中伊關係的合法利益。
中國之所以發表上述言論，是因為路透社報導說，儘管中國海關數據顯示，今年前兩個月沒有進口伊朗石油，但最近幾個月伊朗已“間接”將創紀錄數量的石油運往中國，這標誌著來自其他國家的石油供應。 。
美國總統喬·拜登（Joe Biden）試圖恢復與伊朗就2018年前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）放棄的核協議進行會談，儘管仍然採取嚴厲的經濟措施，德黑蘭堅持要求取消任何談判，以恢復談判。
簽署2015年協議的美國和其他西方大國與德黑蘭的立場不一致，後者應首先恢復協議，這使得破壞伊朗經濟的美國製裁不太可能迅速消除。
然而，儘管受到美國的製裁，歐佩克成員國的石油出口在第四季度有所增長之後在1月份有所攀升，這表明特朗普對美國總統的任期結束可能正在改變買家的行為，此前伊朗對中國和中國的出口急劇下降。自2018年底以來的其他亞洲客戶。
Iran, China sign 25-year cooperation accord
In 2016, China, one of Iran’s largest trading partners and long-time ally, agreed to boost bilateral trade by more than 10 times to $600 billion in the next decade.

DUBAI - The Chinese and Iranian foreign ministers on Saturday signed a 25-year cooperation agreement between the two allies in a ceremony carried live on state television.
"Relations between the two countries have now reached the level of strategic partnership and China seeks to comprehensively improve relations with Iran," China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi was quoted by Iran's state media as telling his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif.
"Our relations with Iran will not be affected by the current situation, but will be permanent and strategic," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi was earlier quoted by Iranian news agencies as saying.

"Iran decides independently on its relations with other countries and is not like some countries that change their position with one phone call."

Wang met President Hassan Rouhani ahead of the signing of the agreement, which is expected to include Chinese investments in key sectors such as energy and infrastructure.Rouhani voiced appreciation for Beijing's support within Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers and called for more coronavirus vaccine exports to Iran, the worst-hit country by the pandemic in the Middle East."Cooperation between the two countries is very important for the implementation of the nuclear accord and the fulfillment of obligations by European countries," Rouhani said, according to his official website."Regarding the coronavirus vaccine, it is necessary to increase cooperation between the two countries, and we want more vaccines from China to be provided."
The accord is an example of “successful diplomacy,” Rouhani’s adviser Hesameddin Ashena was cited by Iranian media as saying. “A country’s strength is in its ability to join coalitions, not to remain isolated.”
Saeed Khatibzadeh, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesman, said the document was a “roadmap” for trade, economic and transportation cooperation, with a “special focus on the private sectors of the two sides.”
China, one of Iran’s largest trading partners and a long-standing ally, agreed in 2016 to boost bilateral trade by more than 10 times to $600 billion over a decade.
Its commerce ministry said on Thursday that Beijing will try to safeguard the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and defend the legitimate interests of Sino-Iranian relations.
The United States and the other Western powers party to the deal are at odds with Tehran over which side should first return to the accord, which was abandoned by former US President Donald Trump in 2018.
The accord comes as Tehran hardens its stance towards the United States and the European signatories of the 2015 nuclear accord with world powers.
On Thursday, China's commerce ministry said the country will make efforts to safeguard the Iran nuclear deal and defend the legitimate interests of Sino-Iranian relations.
China's comments came after Reuters reported that Iran has "indirectly" moved record volumes of oil into China in recent months, marked as supplies from other countries, even as China customs data showed that no Iranian oil was imported in the first two months of this year.
US President Joe Biden has sought to revive talks with Iran on the nuclear deal abandoned by former President Donald Trump in 2018, although harsh economic measures remain in place that Tehran insists be lifted before any negotiations resume.
The United States and the other Western powers that signed the 2015 deal appear at odds with Tehran over which side should return to the accord first, making it unlikely that US sanctions which have crippled Iran's economy can be quickly removed.
However, the OPEC member's oil exports climbed in January after a boost in the fourth quarter, despite US sanctions, in a sign that the end of Trump's term as U.S. president may be changing buyer behavior, after a sharp drop in Iranian exports to China and other Asian customers since late 2018.

反對內塔尼亞胡集團提出的為期一年的“治國治國”，但存在巨大障礙
計劃將使Lapid和Bennett擔任首相，Haredim隨後加入。Yamina，新希望必須首先同意默許阿拉伯政黨的支持；貝內特表示堅持要首先擔任總理
由TOI工作人員

當選舉到來的周末時，即將上任的以色列議會中的所謂“變革集團”正在進行激烈的討論，試圖為本傑明·內塔尼亞胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）領導的政府建立一個替代政府的藍圖，但這種努力因爭奪而受到損害。誰應該領導該集團，以及根本不同的意識形態和政治紅線，它們從一開始就注定了任何此類努力。
根據周五晚上12頻道新聞的報導，桌上的一項提議是，耶什·阿迪德（Yesh Atid）領導人Yair Lapid和Yamina領導人Naftali Bennett領導“治癒的國家政府”，時間有限，可能一年。時間兩個人將輪流擔任他們之間的總理職務。

該報告說，這樣的聯盟在以色列議會中將是少數派，由耶赫·阿蒂德，藍白黨，亞米納黨，工黨，新希望黨和伊斯雷爾·貝特努的52個席位組成，並得到梅列茨的支持或至少不反對。和多數阿拉伯政黨。

該國政府將確保自2018年以來首次通過國家預算，並旨在在需要舉行新的大選之前，在政治混亂和冠狀病毒大流行之後穩定國家和經濟。
該提案還建議，一旦組成這樣的政府，它將尋求招募目前仍堅決留在內塔尼亞胡陣營的超東正教政黨-顯然，假設哈雷迪議員對總理的忠誠將在他和他們不再擔任總理時受到考驗。執政。

但是，報告指出，這樣的計劃要求各黨派克服重重障礙，其中有些可能難以克服–主要是右翼政黨Yamina和New Hope必須同意在阿拉伯，非阿拉伯國家的默認支持下組建政府。 -猶太復國主義政黨，此舉可能對那些右翼基地的政黨領導人造成政治自殺。
工黨領袖梅拉夫·米凱利（Merav Michaeli）在周五晚間對12頻道發表講話，呼籲新希望集團不願意考慮阿拉伯MK的任何支持，以阻止這種政府。她說：“不要阻止我們組建政府。”
Meretz領導人尼茲坎·霍洛維茨（Nitzan Horowitz）週五對網絡表示，這樣一個臨時政府將保持現狀，該政府主要關注失業，犯罪和其他不會左右區分的問題。
“幕後談話，一定要有一點勇氣……我希望我們的合作夥伴有勇氣。”
據《 12頻道》報導，新希望領導人吉迪恩·薩阿爾和亞米娜的貝內特在後者的家中會面，討論潛在的合作。薩爾誓言不加入內塔尼亞胡領導的政府，而貝內特（Bennett）沒有加入，但被普遍認為不願與總理結盟。
報導說，薩爾向貝內特明確表示，他不會為領導“變革集團”而與他抗爭。
貝內特的同僚週五告訴13頻道，除非他是新政府的首相而不是拉皮德，否則他絕不可能放棄內塔尼亞胡的集團。但是該網絡還表示，拉皮德目前正在尋求黨領導人在4月5日向魯汶·里夫林總統提出建議時尋求多數表決，這將是第一個在組建政府方面受到打擊的人。

同時，該網絡表示，內塔尼亞胡儘管為他的支持者團體贏得了59個席位（如果算上貝內特的Yamina政黨在內），他仍在做出巨大的努力來吸引前利庫德·MK薩阿爾站到自己的一邊，並贏得多數席位。總理通過使者向他的長期競爭對手提供了一項協議，根據該協議，他將在上任一年後辭職，並將總理職位交給他。
薩阿爾指出，內塔尼亞胡避免了兌現，這與內塔尼亞胡與藍白黨的本尼·甘茨（Benny Gantz）的2020年權力分享協議相似，據說內塔尼亞胡迴避了這一點：“只有在德里是保證人的情況下，才告訴他。”
據報導
，極東正教的Shas黨領袖內政部長Aryeh Deri
曾向甘茨發誓說，他將確保內塔尼亞胡兌現他們的聯盟協議，但最終最終兌現了這一諾言。
星期五，拉皮德自星期二大選以來首次會見了以斯拉爾·貝特努的領導人阿維格多·利伯曼（Avigdor Liberman），討論了合作方式。耶什·阿蒂德（Yesh Atid）的發言人說，兩人同意保持聯繫並很快再次見面。

同時，貝內特（Bennett）在周五的聲明中表示，過去兩天他曾與左右各非阿拉伯黨派的領導人交談，希望他們有一個愉快的逾越節，並“強調必須採取負責任的原則採取行動，以使以色列擺脫混亂，並使其盡快恢復正常運轉。”
由於內塔尼亞胡的陣營（包括亞米納族）僅佔多數席位兩個席位，利庫德一直在試圖哄騙另一方的立法者放棄他們目前的派系，以便加入一個右翼的宗教聯盟。
候選人最有可能出現在“新希望”中，它在意識形態上與利庫德最接近，主要由該黨的前任成員組成。
新希望組織的莎倫·哈斯克爾（Sharren Haskel）上週五在推特上說，利庫德族代表為了叛逃向她提供了“半個王國”。
“沒有機會。我忠於建立新希望的價值觀，而不是忠於您提供給我的投資組合。放棄，”她寫道。
週四，在《新希望》中排名第二的第二任議員伊法特·沙沙·比頓（Yifat Shasha-Biton）說，內塔尼亞胡的幾名同夥還試圖說服她離開黨派，加入總理的利庫德河。
莎莎·比頓（Shasha-Biton）告訴第12頻道，“加入利庫德（Likud）領導的政府，包括個人在內，對我們施加巨大壓力是眾所周知的，我和其他新希望成員都收到了官方來信，但這是不會發生。”

新希望組織的另一位成員約茲·亨德爾（Yoaz Hendel）暗示了類似的努力，以誘使他加入利庫德。
漢德爾在推特上寫道：“對與我聯繫的每個人來說，逾越節清潔期間的短信運動都不會有任何改變。”他指的是即將到來的假期之前的一種傳統。“現在，有了最終的選舉結果，只有改變政府的可能性。放棄電話，去打掃衛生。”
薩爾（Sa'ar）是內塔尼亞胡（Netanyahu）的嚴厲批評者，他曾多次發誓不加入現任總理領導的聯盟。在一次超過20個席位的投票之後，新希望在選舉中表現令人失望。最後有六個。
薩爾（Sa'ar）週五在推文中說：“我呼籲內塔尼亞胡（Natanyahu）退居二線。讓以色列脫離您的控制，讓我們繼續前進。”
宗教猶太復國主義黨主席貝扎萊爾·斯莫特里希（Bezalel Smotrich）週四呼籲薩爾和Yamina的貝內特（Bennett）加入內塔尼亞胡的集團，並“將個人事務擱置一邊，並進入右翼政府。”
1-year ‘government of healing’ mooted by anti-Netanyahu bloc, but huge obstacles
Plan would see Lapid and Bennett rotate premiership, Haredim joining later; Yamina, New Hope must first agree to tacit Arab party backing; Bennett said insisting on being PM first

As the weekend after the election arrived, the so-called “change bloc” in the incoming Knesset was holding intensive discussions as it attempts to create a blueprint for an alternative government to one led by Benjamin Netanyahu — but such efforts were marred by fighting over who should lead the bloc, as well as radically differing ideologies and political red lines that could doom any such effort from the onset.
According to a report by Channel 12 news Friday night, one proposal on the table was for Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid and Yamina leader Naftali Bennett to lead a “national government of healing” for a limited period of time, possibly a year, during which time the two would rotate the premiership between them.

The report said such a coalition would be a minority in the Knesset, composed of the 52 seats of Yesh Atid, Blue and White, Yamina, Labor, New Hope and Yisrael Beytenu, supported from the outside — or at least not opposed — by Meretz and the majority-Arab parties.

This government would ensure the passage of a state budget for the first time since 2018 and aim to stabilize the country and the economy in the wake of the political chaos and coronavirus pandemic, before a new election is called.

The proposal also suggests that once such a government is formed, it will seek to bring in the ultra-Orthodox parties who currently remain resolutely in Netanyahu’s camp — apparently assuming Haredi lawmakers’ loyalty to the premier will be tested once he and they are no longer running the government.

However, the report noted that such a plan requires parties to jump through many hoops, some of them potentially insurmountable — chiefly the need for right-wing parties Yamina and New Hope to agree to form a government with the tacit support of the Arab, non-Zionist parties, a move that could be political suicide for those parties’ leaders among their right-wing base.
Labor party leader Merav Michaeli, speaking to Channel 12 early Friday evening, called on New Hope not to block such a government by being unwilling to consider any support from Arab MKs. “Don’t prevent us from forming a government,” she said.
Meretz leader Nitzan Horowitz told the network on Friday that such a temporary government would be one that would maintain the status quo, one that focuses on unemployment, crime and other issues that do not divide the right and the left.
“There are talks behind the scenes, one must have a little courage… I hope our partners will have courage.”
New Hope leader Gideon Sa’ar and Yamina’s Bennett met at the latter’s home to discuss potential cooperation, Channel 12 reported. Sa’ar has vowed not to join a Netanyahu-led government, while Bennett has not done so but is widely seen as preferring not to ally with the prime minister.
The report said Sa’ar made it clear to Bennett that he would not fight him for leadership of the “change bloc.”
Associates of Bennett told Channel 13 on Friday that there was no chance he’d abandon Netanyahu’s bloc unless he is prime minister first in the new government, and not Lapid. But the network also said Lapid is currently seeking to get a majority of votes from party leaders when they head to give President Reuven Rivlin their recommendations on April 5, and to be the first to be given a crack at forming a government.

Meanwhile, the network said Netanyahu, despite winning only 59 seats for his bloc of supporters (if Bennett’s Yamina party is includedin the count), is making great efforts to woo former Likud MK Sa’ar over to his side and clinch a majority. Through emissaries, the premier offered his longtime rival a deal by which he will resign after one more year in power and hand the premiership to him.
Sa’ar, noting the similarity to Netanyahu’s 2020 power-sharing deal with Blue and White’s Benny Gantz, one Netanyahu avoided honoring, was said to respond wryly: “Tell him only on the condition that Deri is a guarantor.”
Minister of the Interior Aryeh Deri, head of the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, was
famously reported
to have vowed to Gantz that he’d ensure Netanyahu honored their coalition deal, only to eventually renege on that promise.
On Friday, Lapid met with Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman for the first time since Tuesday’s election to discuss ways to cooperate. The two agreed to remain in touch and meet again soon, a spokesperson for Yesh Atid said.

Meanwhile, in a statement Friday, Bennett said he’d spoken over the past two days with the heads of all non-Arab parties from the right and the left, wished them a happy Passover, and “stressed the need to take responsible, principled action in order to release Israel from chaos and allow it to return to functioning properly as soon as possible.”
As Netanyahu’s bloc, when Yamina is included, is just two seats shy of a majority, Likud has been seeking to coax lawmakers from the opposite side into deserting their current faction in order to join a right-wing, religious coalition.
The most likely candidates appear to be in New Hope, which is closest aligned ideologically to Likud and made up mainly of former members of the party.
New Hope’s Sharren Haskel tweeted Friday that Likud representatives had offered her “half a kingdom” in order to defect.
“Not a chance. I am loyal to the values on which New Hope was established, and not whatever portfolio you’re offering me. Give up,” she wrote.
On Thursday, the No. 2 lawmaker-to-be in New Hope, Yifat Shasha-Biton, said that several of Netanyahu’s associates had also tried to convince her to leave her party and join the premier’s Likud.
“It’s no secret that there is very intense pressure for us to join a government led by Likud, including for myself personally,” Shasha-Biton told Channel 12. “I have received official communications, as have other members of New Hope, but it’s not going to happen.”
Then-MK Yifat Shasha-Biton. (Miriam Alster/Flash90)
Yoaz Hendel, another New Hope member, hinted at a similar effort to entice him to join Likud.
“To everyone contacting me — a text message campaign in the middle of Passover cleaning isn’t going to make any difference,” Hendel wrote on Twitter, referring to a tradition ahead of the upcoming holiday. “Now, with the final election results, there is only the possibility of a change in government. Give up on the phone calls and go and clean.”
Sa’ar is a harsh critic of Netanyahu who has repeatedly vowed not to join a coalition led by the current prime minister. New Hope had a disappointing showing in the election after once polling at over 20 seats. It ended up with six.
Sa’ar tweeted Friday, “I call on Netanyahu to step aside. Release Israel from your grasp and allow us to move onward.”
Religious Zionism party chairman Bezalel Smotrich on Thursday called on Sa’ar and Yamina’s Bennett to join Netanyahu’s bloc, and “put personal matters aside and enter a right-wing government.”

據報導，內塔尼亞胡推遲了約旦要求用水的批准
消息人士指責總理在最近就計劃參觀聖殿山的爭吵，總理計劃在阿聯酋旅行中獲得超速飛行許可後，威脅與安曼達成和平協議

根據周五的一份報告，在耶路撒冷和安曼之間最近的緊張局勢中，總理本傑明·內塔尼亞胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）推遲批准約旦從以色列的供水請求。
《哈雷斯》日報援引以色列和約旦的安全消息來源稱，約旦本月提出減輕水短缺的要求。該請求是通過以色列與約旦兩國之間在1994年達成和平協議後成立的聯合水委員會提出的。

儘管有官員支持調水，但內塔尼亞胡和國家安全委員會已延遲對這一要求的回應，報告稱他打算拒絕。

以色列不願透露姓名的消息人士說，與約旦人有密切聯繫，對耶路撒冷與安曼之間的緊張關係表示關切，指責內塔尼亞胡由於他與約旦王室之間的敵意而危及和平協議。

他們堅稱總理無視以色列與約旦關係的戰略價值，並指出，約旦部隊在其共同邊界上部署使以色列軍隊在那兒的駐紮人數減少了。
該報還說，約旦希望以色列在獲得冠狀病毒疫苗方面給予幫助，但內塔尼亞胡將其排除在現已停止的向友好國家提供劑量的倡議中的國家名單之外。
該報告是在兩國建立正式關係半年後，內塔尼亞胡被以色列領導人首次正式訪問阿聯酋進行正式訪問之後的數週。他曾希望在3月23日以色列議會選舉前不到兩週的時間裡，利用觀眾與阿聯酋王儲一起提高競選連任。
但是，內塔尼亞胡的辦公室取消了這次旅行，理由是約旦王儲侯賽因因分歧而取消了對約旦保管下一個敏感聖地耶路撒冷阿克薩清真寺的訪問，原因是難以協調飛往約旦領空的阿聯酋飛行與以色列就安全安排達成協議。
內塔尼亞胡沒有乘坐以色列飛機，而是安排了一架阿聯酋飛機將他送往阿聯酋，這顯然是出於安全原因。那架客機一直在安曼的約旦機場停靠，等待地方當局的批准，然後飛往以色列接送內塔尼亞胡。約旦將批准書保留了幾個小時，直到當天晚些時候才獲得批准。但是，到內塔尼亞胡獲准飛行時，已經為時已晚，總理辦公室因時間限制決定取消旅行。
約旦外交大臣艾曼·薩法迪（Ayman al-Safadi）隨後證實，約旦拒絕給予內塔尼亞胡飛越許可，以報復王子取消對耶路撒冷的訪問。薩法迪（Safadi）指責以色列違反了訪問安排，而以色列則表示，侯賽因（Hussein）的安全比承諾的要重。
外交爭吵突出了約旦人對內塔尼亞胡的挫敗感，以及深陷多年的兩個鄰國之間的緊張關係。

根據本月早些時候的一份報告，內塔尼亞胡命令以色列空域關閉往來於約旦的航班，以報復安曼推遲預定將總理帶往阿聯酋的飛機的行為。
內塔尼亞胡單方面做出這一決定，沒有徵詢內閣或航空官員的意見，他們在接到命令後感到恐慌，承認其重大國際影響。
然而，報告援引幾名涉案高級官員的話說，在命令生效之前，總理顯然心事不改，並決定撤回該指示。
禁止乘坐約旦飛機前往以色列領空，將違反以色列在1994年與約旦達成的和平協議。該指令還將違反以色列與包括美國在內的其他許多國家（包括美國）達成的航空協議降落在約旦或使用以色列和約旦領空到達該地區其他目的地的航班的領空。
nyahu reportedly delaying approval of Jordanian request for water
Sources accuse PM of endangering peace deal with Amman, after recent spat over planned Temple Mount visit, overflight permission for premier’s planned UAE trip

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed approving Jordan’s request for water from Israel, according to a Friday report, amid recent tensions between Jerusalem and Amman.
Citing Israeli and Jordanian security sources, the Haaretz daily said Jordan made the request this month to alleviate water shortages. The request was submitted through the joint Israeli-Jordanian water committee, established after the 1994 peace deal between the countries.

Despite officials backing the water transfer, Netanyahu and the National Security Council have delayed responding to the request, which the report said indicated he intends to refuse it.

Unnamed Israeli sources said to have close contacts with the Jordanians expressed concern over the strained ties between Jerusalem and Amman, accusing Netanyahu of endangering the peace agreement due to the animosity between him and the Jordanian royal family.

They asserted the premier was ignoring the strategic value of Israel’s relations with Jordan, noting the deployment of Jordanian forces along their shared border allows the Israeli military to station fewer troops there.
The newspaper also said Jordan wants Israel’s help in securing coronavirus vaccines, but that Netanyahu left it off a list of countries included in a now halted initiative to supply doses to friendly nations.
The report came weeks after Netanyahu had been set to visit the United Arab Emirates for the first official trip by an Israeli leader, half a year after the countries established formal relations. He had hoped to use the audience with the UAE’s crown prince to boost his reelection campaign less than two weeks before the March 23 Knesset elections.
The trip was scrapped, however, with Netanyahu’s office citing difficulties coordinating the flight to the UAE over Jordanian airspace, after Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein canceled a visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, a sensitive holy site under Jordanian custodianship, due to disagreements with Israel over security arrangements.
Rather than taking an Israeli jet, Netanyahu had arranged for an Emirati plane to shuttle him to the UAE — apparently due to security reasons. That airliner had been docking at Jordan’s airport in Amman, waiting for a go-ahead from local authorities before taking off to Israel to pick up Netanyahu. Jordan held up the approval for several hours before eventually giving a green light later that day. However, by the time Netanyahu was cleared to fly, it was already too late and the Prime Minister’s Office decided to cancel the trip, due to time constraints.
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi later confirmed that Jordan held up granting Netanyahu overflight permission in retaliation for the prince’s canceled visit to Jerusalem. Safadi accused Israel of violating an agreement on the arrangements for the visit, while Israel has said Hussein arrived with heavier security than promised.
The diplomatic spat underscored
Jordanian frustrations with Netanyahu
and tensions between the two neighbors that have simmered for years.

According to a report earlier this month, Netanyahu ordered the closing of Israeli airspace to flights heading to and from Jordan in retaliation for Amman’s delaying of the plane slated to take the prime minister to the UAE.
Netanyahu made the decision unilaterally without consulting the cabinet or aviation officials, who panicked upon receiving the order, recognizing its major international implications, Maariv reported.
However, the premier evidently had a change of heart minutes before the order went into effect and decided to retract the directive, according to the report, citing several senior officials involved in the incident.
Barring Jordan-bound planes from using Israeli airspace would have been a violation of the peace deal Israel struck with Jordan in 1994. The directive would also have violated the aviation deals Israel has reached with countless other countries, including the United States, which use Israeli airspace for flights landing in Jordan or ones that use Israeli and Jordanian airspace to reach other destinations in the region.

伊朗與以色列的戰鬥擴散到海中，顯示出越來越大的緊張感
在伊拉克和也門，就其核計劃及其他方面而言，德黑蘭顯然已做出決定，要竭盡全力

星期四有報導稱，伊朗再次對一艘以色列民用船隻發動了罷工，看來伊朗與以色列之間的對抗正在危險地在海上升級。
這符合最近幾個月出現的模式。隨著美國新政府和伊朗在該地區的敵對者之間的緊張局勢加劇，伊朗在口頭和行動上都在多個方面採取了更具侵略性的姿態。

據稱這並不是伊朗首次襲擊一艘以色列擁有的貨船。2月26日，
爆炸發生在阿曼灣，襲擊了以色列擁有的懸掛巴哈馬旗的貨船MV Helios Ray。內塔尼亞胡指責伊朗攻擊這艘船。伊朗迅速否認了這一指控，但專家表示，這次襲擊具有以前歸因於德黑蘭的襲擊的標誌。

這項行動似乎是經過精心計劃的，反映了2019年對油輪的一系列襲擊以及四十年前伊朗對船舶的攻擊。
週四清晨，以色列擁有的一艘船隻據稱在阿曼灣遭到導彈射擊，事件並非憑空發生的。據《華爾街日報》報導，以色列一直在對伊朗船隻以及其他裝有伊朗貨物的船隻進行秘密罷工。如果屬實，那麼最近的襲擊很可能是伊朗對這種行動採取的更加果斷的反應的一部分。
報告說，以色列已將至少12艘駛往敘利亞的船隻作為目標，其中大多數都違反國際制裁規定，以地雷和其他武器運送伊朗石油。報告稱，在紅海和其他地區發生的一些據稱以色列罷工針對的是與伊朗有關的武器運輸。襲擊並沒有使油輪沉沒，而是迫使至少兩艘船返回伊朗港口。
報告說，以色列試圖停止石油貿易，因為它認為利潤是在資助地區極端分子。
Iran showing increasing nerve as fight with Israel spreads to the sea
In Iraq and Yemen, over its nuclear program and more, Tehran has evidently taken a decision to flex its muscles

As reports emerged Thursday of another Iranian strike on an Israeli civilian vessel, it appeared that the confrontation between Iran and Israel was escalating dangerously at sea.
This fits into a pattern that has unfolded in recent months. Iran has taken a more aggressive posture on several fronts, both rhetorically and in its operations, as tensions rose with the new US administration and Iran’s adversaries in the region.

Thursday’s attack wasn’t the first time Iran allegedly struck an Israeli-owned cargo ship. On February 26,
a blast struck the Israeli-owned MV Helios Ray, a Bahamian-flagged cargo ship, in the Gulf of Oman. Netanyahu accused Iran of attacking the ship. Iran swiftly denied the charge, but experts say the attack bears hallmarks of previous attacks ascribed to Tehran.

The operation seems to have been carefully planned, and mirrored a series of attacks on tankers in 2019 and an Iranian campaign against shipping vessels four decades ago.
The incident early Thursday morning — in which an Israeli-owned vessel reportedly came under missile fire in the Gulf of Oman — didn’t come out of thin air. According to The Wall Street Journal, Israel has been carrying out covert strikes on Iranian vessels, and other ships with Iranian cargo. If true, the latest attack may well be part of a more assertive Iranian response to such actions.


The report said Israel has targeted at least 12 ships bound for Syria, most of them transporting Iranian oil in violation of international sanctions, with mines and other weapons. Some of the alleged Israeli strikes, which took place in the Red Sea and other areas, targeted Iran-linked weapons shipments, the report said. The attacks did not sink the tankers but forced at least two of the vessels to return to port in Iran.
Israel sought to halt the trade in oil because it believed the profits were financing regional extremists, the report said.

If indeed Israel has been attacking Iranian shipping for more than a year, why has the Islamic Republic taken the decision to respond now?
For one, Tehran has been desperate to respond to a series of military setbacks. Senior Iranian nuclear scientist
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was traveling on a highway outside the capital in November 2020 when he was killed by what was reported as a remote-controlled machine gun. Tehran blamed Israel.
The assassination came after months of mysterious explosions in Iran, including a blast and fire that crippled an advanced centrifuge assembly plant at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility, which is widely believed to have been an act of sabotage allegedly carried out by Israel.
In addition, Iran remains under crippling US sanctions that it is longing to find a way out of.
While Syria is consumed by a decade-long civil war, Iran has been trying to open a new front on Israel’s border. It has sent allied forces to the Syrian Golan Heights to set up infrastructure for carrying out attacks on Israeli targets. It has also been working to arm its Hezbollah proxy terrorist group with precision rocket capabilities, shipping weapons through Syria to Lebanon.
However, Israel has displayed competence in sniffing out Iranian actions and a firm willingness to disrupt them using military force, launching hundreds, even thousands, of strikes against Iran and its proxies in Syria and Iraq since 2011.

“This fits in with Iran being frustrated in its efforts to get at Israel from Syria, where Israel dominates, now acting in their own backyard against Israel because, first of all, it’s a proven modus operandi,” said Michael Eisenstadt, director of the Military and Security Studies Program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
At the same time, Iran is operating with a newfound confidence. Donald Trump — the unpredictable, pugnacious US president who walked away from the nuclear deal and ordered the assassination of the Revolutionary Guard’s extraterritorial Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani — is out of office in the US. His successor, Joe Biden, seems determined to avoid getting sucked into the Middle East, and has stated his desire to return to the 2015 nuclear deal.
Biden has also signaled that he will be less unconditionally generous to countries in the Arab and Israeli anti-Iran bloc: He waited for weeks to call Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after his election; he’s begun to squeeze Saudi Arabia on its human rights record; In February, his Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed concerns to Egypt over its human rights policies and its plans to buy Russian fighter jets.

And the existence of the WSJ article itself, based on conversations with US officials, might be an indication of displeasure in the Biden administration toward Israel.
“In my opinion, the Americans leaked the report,” said Raz Zimmt, Iran scholar at the Institute for National Security Studies. “Apparently they’re not so happy with what we are doing, which might be the most interesting aspect of this entire story.”
As Iran notices the daylight emerging between the US and its allies, it has been making moves across the region.

In Iraq,
a string of rocket attacks in February struck near the US embassy and bases housing US forces. Earlier this month, Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen said they attacked a Saudi oil facility in the port city of Jeddah.
Iran has also projected confidence around its nuclear program. Iran’s supreme leader on Sunday reiterated the Islamic Republic’s “definite policy” that Washington must lift all sanctions before Tehran returns to its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal. Tehran has been steadily violating the restrictions of the deal, including on the amount of enriched uranium it can stockpile and the purity to which it can enrich it.
“This might be connected to the new administration,” Zimmt said. “And to the Iranian estimation that the danger that existed in recent months under Trump no longer exists, so they can push the envelope.
“They might also estimate that Israel is limited, even though I don’t know if that is a correct assumption — but they might think that Israel’s freedom of action is limited because of the new administration and because of the political crisis. So they are willing to take chances they weren’t willing to take in the past.”
