User ID: 62524796 United States 11/23/2015 07:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now the big question is if this is true, what does it say about Iranian progress on the ground and how big of a role will they continue to play with Russia in all of it? Quoting: JazzyG That's a pretty big win for the rebels to be that close to the main commander of the whole shebang. Good question and assessment. Their numbers are large in terms of the Quods Battalion involvement. Larger with regular ground elements. No doubt the Quods will be probing Israel as they are in Iraq. The KSA is up the creek on that too. KSA should be considered infiltrated and probed for strikes within their borders. All that's left are the orders from Tehran on that. Leave no footprints and all that, jazz. Pardon the colloquialism. Things are looking to heat up. KSA's gains in Yemen have yielded very little results and some naval losses to their Gulf State Allies. Houthi elements gained a foothold in southern KSA territories from last I heard and that was nearly a month old report. So, can you say "boxed in"?

"From there they reach not only the Gush Etzion junction, but also Tel Aviv and Kiryat Gat, so the answer is very simple: closing it off," Akunis said, in the wake of four separate attacks Monday. "There [should be] no going in or out." Akunis rejected the notion that the step could be viewed as unnecessary collective punishment, and thus be hindered by legal and political red tape. If anything, the Palestinian Authority has been doling out "collective punishment" against all Israelis by facilitating the terror war, through an ongoing incitement campaign, he argued.

According to a report in Haaretz, which quotes a senior Israeli official, Netanyahu first made the demand to US Secretary of State John Kerry two weeks ago when they met in Washington, and will bring the issue up again on Tuesday when the two meet as part of Kerry’s Mideast tour. “The Americans want Israel to implement a package of meaningful measures in the West Bank,” the senior Israeli official,is quoted by Haaretz as saying. “The prime minister made it clear that we want American recognition of the settlement blocs and of the fact that we can build there.” According to the report, Netanyahu told Kerry that such recognition will ease his path in the security cabinet to make significant gestures to the Palestinians, which reportedly include advancing Palestinian infrastructure projects and economic benefits.

An important development took place Nov. 7, when Chinese President Xi Jinping met for a historic summit with Taiwanese leader Ma Ying-jeou. The meeting has been variously interpreted. But the best read is that it was a warning from China to Taiwanese voters not to move toward independence. That’s particularly worrisome, because Ma’s nationalist Kuomintang Party (KMT) is widely expected to lose upcoming elections to the independence-minded Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
