A United Arab Emirates official on Tuesday night reportedly pushed back at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s denial that last week’s normalization agreement included a provision green-lighting a US sale of advanced weaponry to the Gulf nation, claiming the Israeli leader was aware of the multi-billion-dollar arms deal and signed off on it.

The Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported on Tuesday morning, citing American and Emirati sources, that last week’s US-brokered agreement included language to supply the Arab Gulf nation with advanced weapons systems, including American F-35s.

The public is asked to pray for the complete recovery of Rabbi Zalman Nehemiah, the son of Freidel.

It’s time for the Harvey Weinstein scandal to refocus attention on Donald Trump

 https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/10/16/is-it-time-for-the-harvey-weinstein-sexual-assault-scandal-to-refocus-attention-donald-trump/

 As Donald Jr. asserts that Weinstein must clearly be guilty, given the number of accusers, and that Hollywood and Democrats are somehow complicit, he of course is engaging in President Trump’s habit of projecting his own questionable behavior on other people.

After all, Donald Jr.’s arguments could just as easily apply to his father’s own multiple sexual harassment allegations and the way that Republicans have stood by him, Blake and Helderman said.

 Weinstein has become a pariah in Hollywood and pretty much everywhere else.

Meanwhile, Trump is president of the United States, and leading Republicans rarely say anything negative about him. It is true that many in the Republican establishment haven’t actually jumped to use the Weinstein scandal against liberals, not like Donald Jr.

But in the end, liberals have taken action over their alleged predator — however belated and imperfect. And they aren’t done with the soul searching. But leading Republicans have done what with Trump over this issue?

Fox News Says Michelle Obama 'Flayed' Trump As Hosts Praise DNC Speech

"When you talk about authenticity, she has it in spades. She has that voice, she has clarity, and she knows what she is out there wanting to do. She was trying to get everybody to really focus and then she had a call to action—ask for your ballot tonight. I think that the DNC, if they look over the course of the night, the first virtual convention of our history, they would say that Michelle Obama stuck the landing."

 Wallace agreed. "Michelle Obama, as she said, doesn't like politics and she said that this speech was her main contribution to the Biden campaign," he said.

 "It was a heck of a contribution. She really flayed, sliced and diced Donald Trump, talking about the chaos and confusion and lack of empathy, especially, coming from this president and from this White House."

Trump warns of 'rigged election' as he uses conspiracy and fear to counter Biden's convention week

Elsewhere in his speech, Trump said he should be granted a "redo" on his first term, alleging falsely that his first campaign was spied upon by the previous administration. And at another point, he joked that he may remain in office for "16, 20" years.

Though made in jest, those remarks only fuel the impression that Trump is preparing, at a minimum, to challenge November's results if they do not show him winning. Taken together, the remarks suggest Trump is actively working to undermine the results of an election that polls currently show him losing.
