Saeb Erekat, the Secretary-General of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the top negotiator for the Palestinian Authority, died Tuesday morning. He was 65.
"Saeb Erekat passed away in the hospital's intensive care unit," Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital said in a statement Tuesday.
"Mr. Erekat, who was transferred to the hospital three weeks ago Sunday, on 18 October, was a lung transplantee infected with coronavirus. He was treated in his home in Jericho and arrived at the hospital in critical condition, requiring immediate ventilation and resuscitation treatments."
"During the course of his hospitalization, he received intensive treatments that included a heart lung machine (ECMO) and drug treatments provided by Hadassah's top specialists."
"Unfortunately, his condition did not improve and remained critical, and he passed away following multi-organ failure."
Erekat was rushed to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem last month, after he was infected with the coronavirus.
The widow of late Republican senator John McCain, who is the one who delivered the notorious fake "Steele Report" to congress, has joined the transition team of incoming Democrat president-elect Joe Biden.
Cindy McCain is taking on an advisory board role for Biden's transition team, which will help usher the former vice president into the Oval Office in the next two and a half months, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Senator John McCain served in Congress for decades and ran for president in 2008, when he lost to Barack Obama. Biden was the vice president on the Obama ticket.
In an interview with Good Morning America after Biden's victory, Cindy celebrated the election results and told Republicans: 'It’s time not just for Americans to get together and work together, but most importantly, it’s time that we Republicans put country first, not party.'
She also requested Trump concede to Biden in a 'gracious manner' like her late husband did upon his 2008 election defeat.
Trump has refused to concede, and has insisted, without evidence, that Democrats have tried to steal the election with rampant voter fraud.
Cindy McCain is the second Republican to join the transition team, following in the footsteps of Bob McDonald, who also served as the Secretary of Veteran Affairs for several years under Obama.
McCain will advise the transition team on issues facing women and children, according to the New York Post.
The advisory board has already met once and will meet again some time in the next few weeks.
McCain's inclusion on the transition team marks the continuation of an alliance between her and Biden.
She was one of the most outspoken Republicans to endorse Biden in his race against incumbent Republican Donald Trump.
'My husband John lived by a code: country first. We are Republicans, yes, but Americans foremost. There’s only one candidate in this race who stands up for our values as a nation, and that is @JoeBiden,' McCain stated in her Twitter endorsement in September.
She also participated in the Democratic National Convention in August, where she lauded the positive relationship between her late husband and Biden.
Fox News on Monday cut away from a Trump campaign press conference outlining its allegations of election fraud in the presidential election.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany began her press conference by saying Democrats were the only party opposing voter ID, verifying signatures, citizenship, residency, eligibility, and trying to keep observers out of the count room.
“You take these positions because you are welcoming fraud and you are welcoming illegal voting,” she said just before Fox News cut away.
Host Neil Cavuto then said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa. I just think we have to be very clear: she's charging the other side as welcoming fraud and illegal voting, unless she has more details to back that up, I can't in good countenance continue to show you this.”
Cavuto said the network would return to the press conference if evidence was presented to substantiate the claims.
“But that’s an explosive charge to make, that the other side is effectively rigging and cheating, if she does bring proof of that of course we’ll take you back so far she has started saying, right at the outset, welcoming fraud, welcoming illegal voting,” Cavuto said.
Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, who was named to Joe Biden’s coronavirus advisory team on Monday, published a paper in September arguing that any coronavirus vaccine should be distributed globally according to something called the “Fair Priority Model.”
Emanuel, the lead author on a paper in Science called “An ethical framework for global vaccine allocation,” argued that there should be a “fair international distribution of vaccine,” rather than what he and his co-authors call “vaccine nationalism.”
Monday’s news that a COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer will be ready for Food and Drug Administration approval this month sent stock markets soaring and everyone celebrating. It is wonderful news for all humanity.
A vaccine will slow the deaths, end the lockdowns, allow businesses to reopen, free children to return to school and return life to normal within half a year.
Amazingly, one group isn’t celebrating: Democratic politicians. They would sooner criticize the breakthrough than allow the triumph to occur on President Trump’s watch. Gov. Cuomo in New York and Gov. Gavin Newsom in California are saying FDA approval of the vaccine isn’t enough, and they will insist on approval by experts in their own states, as well.
That’s unconstitutional. Drug approval is a federal responsibility, and courts have ruled that states should stay out of it.
Cuomo took it a preposterous step further on Monday, arguing that it would have been better if the vaccine had been delayed until Joe Biden became president. With over 1,000 Americans dying a day from COVID-19, Cuomo’s political calculation makes no sense.
In a memo sent by Barr Monday evening, he said Justice Department prosecutors could investigate specific allegations of voter fraud before the election results are certified in December.
The memo added, however, that “specious, speculative, fanciful or far-fetched claims should not be a basis for initiating federal inquiries.”
The memo, which critics see as the DOJ wading into the US election, prompted the resignation of Richard Pilger, the official who oversees voter fraud allegations for the department, the New York Times reported.
President Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani have repeatedly made broad allegations of voter fraud in a number of states, but have not provided evidence for their claims.
Trump has filed lawsuits in a number of states that he either lost to former Vice President Joe Biden or is trailing in the vote count as the final ballots are tallied.
Biden secured his electoral college victory over Trump in the 2020 election with his projected win in Pennsylvania and Nevada on Saturday.
Biden is leading Trump in Arizona and Georgia, states that he will have flipped Democratic if he’s ultimately victorious in them.
Sick. “survivors”

“It’s not only that @realDonaldTrump has to lose, his enablers have to lose. We have to collectively burn down the Republican Party. We have to level them. Because if there are survivors....they will do it again.” Jennifer Rubinpic.twitter.com/Y4FDIgKFDt
The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin said Saturday that the entire Republican Party had to be burned down and no “survivors” could be left.
The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin said Saturday that the entire Republican Party had to be burned down and no “survivors” could be left.
“It’s not only that Trump has to lose, but that all his enablers have to lose. We have to collectively in essence burn down the Republican Party,” Rubin explained. “We have to level them because if there are survivors, if there are people who weather this storm, they will do it again. They will take this as confirmation that, ‘Hey, it just pays to ride the waves. Look at me. I made it through.’ And so up and down the ticket, federal, state, and local offices, the country has to repudiate this.”
Rubin also tweeted Friday that any Republican supporting President Trump’s claims of voter fraud should be rejected from “polite” society.
“Any R now promoting rejection of an election or calling to not to follow the will of voters or making baseless allegations of fraud should never serve in office, join a corporate board, find a faculty position or be accepted into ‘polite’ society. We have a list,” she said.
Rubin’s call echoed those of Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others.
Former Vice President Joe Biden is preparing a bevy of executive orders to issue on his first day in the White House that will reverse some of the key policies of the Trump administration.
Biden, whom the Associated Press declared president-elect on Saturday, has already tasked his transition team with focusing on how to leverage the “executive power” of the Oval Office, according to the Washington Post.
Some of the orders that Biden plans to issue deal with hot button topics like immigration and national security. According to the Post, Biden plans to reverse the Trump administration’s decision to impose tight travel restrictions for individuals attempting to travel to the United States from countries like Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Biden is also planning to issue orders to reinstitute protections for illegal immigrants in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and prioritize family reunification.
Upon taking office, Biden also plans to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord and restore U.S. support for the World Health Organization (W.H.O.). Trump withdrew the U.S. from the former and terminated its support for the W.H.O.
The Biden team’s preparation of executive orders occurs as control of the U.S. Senate is set to be determined by two run-off elections in Georgia in early January. Republicans, who have held the Senate in 2015, need only to win one of the contests to maintain control of the chamber. Biden, in particular, appears ready to mobilize the full force of executive power if such an event occurs and the GOP hamstrings his agenda throughout the legislative process.
“I expect that to be freely used in a Biden administration at this point, if the Senate becomes a roadblock,” an adviser for the former vice president told the Post.
The readying of executive orders by Biden’s team comes even though the former vice president assailed some of his competitors during the Democrat primaries for spurning bipartisanship in favor of ruling through executive authority.
“You hear Democrats saying, ‘I’m going to get elected and I’m going to by executive order do the following,’” Biden told an audience in Iowa in November 2019. “Come on, executive orders are basically menus to abuse the power of the presidency.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blamed 'Republican narratives' for tearing Democrats apart as she revealed over the weekend she considered not running for reelection due to in-house fighting between the progressive and establishment arms of the Party.
When asked by The New York Times if she would consider running for the Senate if Joe Biden's administration ended up being too 'hostile' toward progressive causes, Ocasio-Cortez said, 'I genuinely don't know. I don't even know if I want to be in politics.'
'You know, for real, in the first six months of my term, I didn't even know if I was going to run for re-election this year,' she added.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was confident going into Tuesday's election that the Democrat-controlled lower chamber would be able to pick up a dozen more seats to widen their majority.
Instead, Republicans were able to close the gap by so far gaining a net 8 seats, including beating incumbent Democrats and flipping several blue districts red. Although they still hold a minority, the margin is much slimmer, creating a more powerful GOP caucus in the House.
'Republicans levied very effective rhetorical attacks against our party,' Ocasio-Cortez told CNN's Jake Tapper during an interview on 'State of the Union' Sunday morning.
Many establishment Democrats blamed progressive lawmakers for this loss, mainly Ocasio-Cortez and her 'squad,' which includes Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan; Ilhan Omar of Minnesota; and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.
The Trump administration will continue to promote pro-Israel policies for as long as President Trump remains in office, a senior administration official said Monday morning.
According to a report by Kan Monday, the administration official said the White House would continue to work “with Israel and on Israel’s behalf” until President Trump leaves office.
“We were elected for four years and we intend to take advantage of that time until the very last moment. And we came here to work.”
“We have more than a few things to do with Israel and on Israel’s behalf, and we will continue to act.”
The comments come a day after the Trump administration’s envoy for Iran, Elliott Abrams, arrived in Israel and met with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and National Security adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat to discuss plans for a string of new sanctions on Iran.
Abrams is also expected to meet with Alternate Prime Minister and Defense Minister Benny Gantz and other senior Israeli officials.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is expected to visit Israel next week.
A juglet (a small pottery jar) containing four pure gold coins dating from more than a thousand years ago (the Early Islamic period), was unearthed during archaeological excavations conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), as part of the Jewish Quarter Development Corporation’s plan to build an elevator and make the Western Wall Plaza accessible to visitors coming from the Quarter.
The juglet was found by Israel Antiquities Authority inspector Yevgenia Kapil during preliminary digging at the site last month. Some weeks later, as excavation director David Gellman was examining the finds, he emptied the contents of the juglet.
“To my great surprise,” says Gellman, “along with the soil , four shiny gold coins fell into my hand. This is the first time in my career as an archaeologist that I have discovered gold, and it is tremendously exciting.”
According to Israel Antiquities Authority’s coin expert, Dr. Robert Kool, “The coins were in excellent preservation and were immediately identifiable even without cleaning. The coins date from a relatively brief period, from the late 940s to the 970s CE."
New York City is set to begin counting its more than half a million mail-in ballots Monday — votes that could swing several local races.
While the deadline for the state’s local boards of election to receive absentee ballots is Tuesday, the city will at least get a jump on the ones it has so far.
As of Friday, the number of mail-in votes received by each borough was: 199,352 in Manhattan; 161,762 in Queens; 106,987 in Brooklyn; 52,049 in The Bronx and 31,351 in Staten Island.
The total is about half the 1.1 million absentee ballots requested by residents.
Local races yet to be called because of the ongoing ballot-counting include:
Republican Nicole Malliotakis looks set to defeat incumbent Dem US Rep. Max Rose in the 11th Congressional District covering Staten Island and southern Brooklyn.
The particularly bitter, multimillion-dollar race is virtually over, with Rose appearing to be too far behind to catch up to his foe even with the number of mail-in ballots yet to be counted. Malliotakis has already claimed victory, but Rose has non conceded.
“As a soldier who fought for our democracy, I believe every vote should be counted,” he told reporters on election night.

President Abbas and other senior officials, have said they will make a number of demands of USA President-elect Joe Biden, according to Hebrew news site Yisrael Hayom.
The Palestinians intend to request that peace negotiations restart from where Obama left off in 2016, as well as demanding that the US embassy be relocated back to Tel Aviv. Joe Biden specifically stated during his campaign that he would not be relocating the embassy to Tel Aviv but the Palestinians hope to bring international pressure to prevail on Biden regarding the two-state solution which he supports which would enable them to declare their capital in Jerusalem.
The Palestinians also intend to reopen their diplomatic mission in Washington and to request renewed American aid to UNRWA, the United Nations organization which ostensibly deals with refugees worldwide but in reality only provides relief for indigenous Palestinians in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza strip. The Palestinians will also request that the foreign aid, which was cut off by the Trump administration since they refused to stop the “pay for slay” payments to terrorists families, be restored to them.
Alex Trebek, who presided over the beloved quiz show “Jeopardy!” for more than 30 years with dapper charm and a touch of school-master strictness, died Sunday. He was 80.
Trebek, who announced in 2019 that he had advanced pancreatic cancer, died at his California home, surrounded by family and friends, “Jeopardy!” studio Sony said.
The Canadian-born host, who made a point of informing fans about his health directly, spoke in a calm, even tone as he revealed his illness and hope for a cure in a video posted March 6, 2019.
In the video, Trebek said he was joining the 50,000 other Americans who receive such a diagnosis each year and that he recognized that the prognosis was not encouraging.
But Trebek said he intended to fight it and keep working, even joking that he needed to beat the disease because his “Jeopardy!” contract ran for three more years. Less than a week later, he opened the show with a message acknowledging the outpouring of kind words and prayers he’d received.
“Thanks to the — believe it or not — hundreds of thousands of people who have sent in tweets, texts, emails, cards and letters wishing me well,” Trebek said. “I’m a lucky guy.”
“Jeopardy!” bills itself as “America’s favorite quiz show” and captivated the public with a unique format in which contestants were told the answers and had to provide the questions on a variety of subjects, including movies, politics, history and popular culture.
They would answer by saying “What is … ?” or “Who is …. ?”
“The renewal of the nuclear agreement between the U.S. and Iran is not a matter of if, but when,” a Ynet report stated on Sunday.
The report elaborated that according to unofficial meetings between U.S. president-elect Joe Biden’s foreign affairs and defense team and Israeli officials, it is clear that one of Biden’s top priorities during his upcoming presidential term is renewing negotiations with Tehran, with the goal of Iran agreeing to freeze their nuclear missile development and end their interference in the Middle East in exchange for the removal of U.S. sanctions.
Last week, Settlements Minister Tzachi Hanegbi said on Channel 13 News that Biden’s position on the Iran deal could result in a war between Israel and Iran.
“Biden has openly said for a long time that he would go back to the nuclear agreement with Iran,” Hanegbi said. “I see that as a move that could result in a confrontation between Israel and Iran.”
Hanegbi added that he and most other Israelis, including Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, viewed the Iran deal, signed by Obama in 2015, as “mistaken – and that’s an understatement. If Biden continues with that policy, there will eventually be a violent confrontation between Israel and Iran.”
Hanegbi said that a Biden victory doesn’t worry him regarding other issues, including settlements, but the Iran issue is extremely concerning.
