US ‘pressures’ Israel with diplomat at settlement hearing
Israel's Supreme Court, in Jerusalem
(photo credit: Yossi Zamir/Flash90/File)
In what left- and right-wing groups are interpreting as a display of US pressure on Israel, an American diplomat appeared at the Supreme Court in Jerusalem on Wednesday to listen to the government’s argument in favor of legalizing four unauthorized West Bank outposts.
Andrew Schut, a representative at the US Embassy in Tel Aviv , attended the session, during which the court debated a petition by the left-wing settlement watchdog Peace Now to evacuate Givat Assaf and five other outposts that they argue are illegal according to international law.
Schut’s appearance in court came less than a week after US Secretary of State John Kerry contacted Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren “to protest the planned legalization of four West Bank outposts,” including Givat Assaf, in the wake of the government’s announcement that it intended to legalize them.
Kerry made angry call to Israeli Ambassador Oren
over outposts last Thursday
Secretary of State John Kerry reportedly made an angry phone call to Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren in protest of government plans to legalize four West Bank outposts that had previously been set for demolition.
Erekat throws his weight behind Kerry's bid to revive talks
The top Palestinian negotiator with Israel on Monday threw his weight behind US Secretary of State John Kerry's bid to revive stalled peace talks. Kerry is due to visit Jerusalem and Ramallah on Thursday and Friday. Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told a UN committee in New York on Monday that a settlement freeze and the release of Palestinian prisoners were not conditions for returning to negotiations, but rather obligations that Israel must fulfill.
Government rifts over peace process
revealed during Knesset committee meeting
While Minister Livni said at the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that the government's goal is to restart negotiations, other coalition members insisted a two-state solution was never an official government position. The committee discussion lasted more than two hours.
Officials warn of Syria conflict quickly spiraling out of control

border with Syria, Tuesday (photo: IDF Spokesperson)
IDF Chief of General Staff Benny Gantz toured the Golan near the border with Syria Tuesday, and told lawmakers that tensions in the north could quickly devolve into war.
Other senior officials echoed his worries, with Home Front Defense Minister Gilad Erdan warning that it was only a matter of time before major Israeli cities started getting pounded by rockets.

Another ‘Isaiah 5:20’ moment for Obama:
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light,
and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter
Jay Carney's White House press briefing, May 22, 2013:
Make very clear that he [Obama] has zero tolerance for sexual assault in the military and that he believes that those who participate in it dishonor the uniform they wear, and that those who are victims of it and who wear the uniform should know that the Commander-in-Chief has their backs.
---------
Obama has had a major roll in LGBT and 'don't ask, don't tell:'
Speaking of dishonoring the uniform
No earthly leader has done more to promote the immoral LGBT agenda than US President Barack Obama.

"The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on
their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and
freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking
Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in
the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day." -
