The European Union, which has been trying for decades to shoulder its way into playing a more important role in the global effort to establish a new Muslim Arab state on historically Jewish lands, is reportedly poised to unveil its latest plan for achieving this unprecedented act of state land theft.

Drafted by the French foreign ministry and entitled “The EU Action Strategy for Peace in the Middle East: The Way Forward,” the scheme on the agenda for discussion when the EU’s foreign ministers meet in the second week of December.

A copy of was leaked to the leftist Israeli daily, Ha’aretz, which published details from it at the top of its English-language website Sunday morning.

Because of Ha’aretz’s constant effort to undermine Israel’s security by promoting every new “peace plan” to emerge, it is probable someone in the EU arranged to float the document and gauge Israel’s reaction before Europe’s foreign ministers convene to discuss it.

The union is thought to have timed the document’s release in order to have it in play before Barack Hussein Obama ascends to the presidency of the United States on January 20.

Describing it as “the EU’s plans for advancing an Israeli-Palestinian deal in 2009,” Ha’aretz said initial reaction among Israel’ officials has been one of “alarm.”

“Inter alia, it calls for increased pressure on Israel to reopen Palestinian institutions in Jerusalem, including Orient House, which formerly served as the Palestinian Authority’s headquarters in the city,” the paper said, and which gave the Arabs a strategic foot in what Israel calls its “eternal and undivided capital.”

A central demand of the Arab world is that the central and most important parts of Jerusalem – with the Temple Mount, Israel’s holiest site, at the top of the list – be included in a Palestinian state.

Iran–Earthquake–Daylam Port

According to the report of seismography center affiliated to Tehran University Geophysics Institute, the tremor occurred at 19:40 hours local time( 16:10 GMT) and its epicenter was at 30.15 degrees latitude and 50.38 degrees longitude.

There is no immediate report on possible damage.

Jewish Temples Never Existed, Says Top Palestinian Negotiator

Official leading peace talks claims Israel trying to ‘invent’ historical Jerusalem link

by Aaron Klein

JERUSALEM – The Jewish Temples never existed and Israel has been working to “invent” a Jewish historical connection to Jerusalem, the chief Palestinian negotiator asserted.

Ahmed Qurei, the Palestinian Authority official leading all peace talks with the Jewish state, made the controversial statements in a small media briefing Wednesday attended by WND as well as by a Palestinian media outlet and an Arab affairs correspondent for a major Israeli newspaper.

But the Israeli publication decided not to print Qurei’s comments, while the Palestinian publication, the Al-Ayam daily newspaper, made news of the remarks.

Qurei said “Israeli occupation authorities are trying to find a so-called Jewish historical connection” between Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, “but all these attempts will fail. The [Temple Mount] is 100 percent Muslim.”

“The world must be mobilized against all these Israeli attempts to change the symbols and signs of Jerusalem,” he said. “There is nothing Jewish about the Al Aqsa Mosque. There was no so-called Jewish Temple. It’s imaginary. Jerusalem is 100 percent Muslim.”

Continued Qurei: “The Arab world is called to interfere to stop the Israeli plans in Jerusalem, to stop the Israeli attempts to create a Jewish character to Jerusalem and the Al Aqsa mosque. Also to the Old City, which is the first step in the war to defend Jerusalem and Al Aqsa.

“They are competing against time in order to create facts on ground in the surrounding the imaginary Temple,” Qurei added.

The chief Palestinian negotiator was reacting to the reopening last month of a long-closed synagogue just 100 meters from the Temple Mount. The holy structure, located in what is now known as the Muslim Quarter, was abandoned in 1938 in the wake of extreme Arab violence targeting Jews. At the time, thousands of Jews lived in the Quarter. The synagogue is closer than any other Jewish house of prayer to the Temple Mount.

Qurei, who is considered moderate by U.S. and Israeli policy, has been leading talks with Israel initiated at last November’s U.S.-sponsored Annapolis Summit, which seeks to create a Palestinian state, at least on paper, before President Bush leaves office. Israel is widely expected to offer the Palestinians near complete control of the West Bank and significant control of undisclosed parts of eastern Jerusalem.

Holiest site

The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism. The First Jewish Temple was built there by King Solomon in the 10th century B.C. It was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. The Second Temple was rebuilt in 515 B.C. after Jerusalem was freed from Babylonian captivity. That temple was destroyed by the Roman Empire in A.D. 70. Each temple stood for a period of over four centuries.

Claim: Israel Plans to Build Temple Over al-Aksa Mosque

An Arab researcher says he has long range plans from the Israeli Antiquities Authority which outline strategies for the construction of a Jewish Temple on the site where the al-Aksa Mosque now stands, according to a report on Monday by the Bethlehem-based Maan news agency. Doctor Ibrahim al Fanni showed the newspaper sketches outlining the demolition of al-Aqsa Mosque and the Marwani mosque (Solomon’s stables) beneath al-Aksa, as well as a plan involving the opening up the Fatimi Halls, which are also located under al-Aksa.

Dr. al Fanni claims the halls would be turned into a Jewish Temple, and construction would gradually move to the upper part of the compound, taking over space in Al-Aqsa. “Plan B” would see the demolition of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the construction of a Jewish “Royal Palace” on the same site, which Muslims believe was the spot from which the Prophet Muhammad started his journey into the heavens.

Iran–Quake
An earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale shook the vicinity of Bandar Khamir in Hormuzgan province, southern Iran, on Sunday.
Geophysics Institute of Tehran University registered the tremor at 17:16 hours local time (13:46 GMT).

The quake was epicentered in an area located 27.01 degrees north in latitude and 51.57 degrees east in longitude.

Iran is often hit by tremors of varying magnitudes as it sits on some of the world’s most active seismic fault lines.
