Iran is going to be invited to participate in multilateral talks about the conflict in Syria which will take place in Vienna, the US State Department said. It will be the first such US invitation extended to Iran since the eruption of the Syrian war in 2011.
“At some point, obviously – and the Secretary’s talked about this – we know there’s going to need to be a conversation with Iran towards the end of a political transition there [in Syria], towards that end,” US State Department spokesperson John Kirby said during daily press briefing on Monday.
“At some point, the Secretary has made clear, Iran’s going to have to be made part of this discussion. Now when that’s going to be and where that’s going to be and under what context, I think it’s fair to say that all that is still being worked out,” he added.
Although Kirby has not specified when Iran is going to join the multilateral talks over Syria, there are some speculations that the country could take part in the next diplomatic round which starts on Thursday in Vienna, AP reported, citing unnamed sources who claimed that such an invitation has already been sent.

The US-led coalition lacks a common understanding of who the terrorist threat in Syria is coming from, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov believes. He also said that Russia is trying to establish contacts with the Syrian opposition.
“Last Friday I met with [US Secretary of State] John Kerry, Saudi and Turkish foreign ministers in Vienna …and I once again saw that the US-led coalition has no common understanding [about] who poses a terrorist threat in Syria,” Sergey Lavrov said at a press-conference held after talks with his Belarusian counterpart Vladimir Makey.
“One cannot say that there are ‘good’ terrorist which are not to be touched,” the minister said.
“It is also necessary to make clear who the political opposition in Syria is,” Lavrov added referring to the Geneva communique signed in June 2012, which calls for a peace process inclusive of all political groups.

Islamic State terrorists have reportedly executed three people in the historic site of Palmyra by binding them to ancient columns and blowing them up, simultaneously inflicting terrible damage to the Roman-era Syrian city ruins.
The terrorist group “tied three individuals it had arrested from Palmyra and its outskirts to the columns… and executed them by blowing up” the columns, Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, claimed.

In Washington, defense minister says that while Israel extends its hand in peace, Arab leaders incite and spread lies
Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon on Monday highlighted late prime minister Yitzhak Rabin’s opposition to the realization of Palestinian statehood, stressing that while Rabin pursued peace and regional stability, he was nevertheless acutely aware of the complex challenges facing the Jewish state and determined to never compromise on its security.
“When he brought the Oslo Accords to the Knesset for approval, Yitzhak [Rabin] did not flinch,” Ya’alon said at a memorial event in Washington, DC, to mark the 20th anniversary of the late prime minister’s assassination.
“He knew we had to firmly protect our security interests, in order to ensure peace and security for the citizens of Israel,” he said.
Ya’alon further added that Rabin had always been suspicious of the Palestinian leadership’s true intentions and would not accept the establishment of a Palestinian state in the entire West Bank.
“In [Rabin’s] speech to the Knesset bringing [the second Oslo accord] to be approved, he emphasized that in a permanent agreement, ‘The Palestinian entity will be less than a state,’” the defense minister said.

Pink Floyd musician says Democratic candidate too hawkish, endorses Bernie Sanders for president
Outspoken rocker Roger Waters has voiced concern that Hillary Clinton is too hawkish, quipping that she might use nuclear weapons if elected president.
Waters, the former Pink Floyd member best known for the classic album “The Wall,” said he is supporting liberal insurgent Bernie Sanders as he challenges Clinton for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.
“I have an awful worry that she might become the first woman president (only) to drop a fucking nuclear bomb on somebody,” Waters told Rolling Stone magazine in an interview released Monday.
“There is something scarily hawkish about her,” he said.
But he said that Clinton was a better choice than Republican contenders “by a long, long way.”

Conservative Law and Justice wins 242 of 460 seats in parliament, ending 8 years of centrist rule
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland took a decisive turn to the right in its parliamentary election Sunday, tossing out the centrist party that had governed for eight years for a socially conservative and Euroskeptic party that wants to keep migrants out and spend more on Poland’s own poor.
An exit poll showed the conservative Law and Justice party winning 39 percent of the vote, enough to govern alone without forming a coalition.
The ruling pro-European Civic Platform party received 23 percent of the vote, according to the exit poll that prompted Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz of Civic Platform to concede.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of Law and Justice, promised his party would govern fairly.

AMSTERDAM (JTA) — In Buitenveldert, a quiet residential area of the Dutch capital, special forces soldiers are watching over a Jewish school from inside unmarked cars.
About half of the Netherlands’ 40,000 Jews live here and in the adjacent suburb of Amstelveen, the only areas of the country with a large and recognizable presence of Jews. The area has six synagogues as well as the community’s main offices, three schools and nearly all its kosher shops.
The absence of any major recent assault on Dutch Jews, coupled with government subsidies to secure Jewish neighborhoods and institutions, means life has continued pretty much unchanged here since 2012, when Europe saw the first of several fatal or near-fatal attacks on Jews by Islamists. That’s a marked contrast from France, where many Jews are staying away from kosher supermarkets they used to frequent, and Denmark, where Jews have been advised to take off their yarmulkes near Copenhagen’s Jewish school.
But representatives of Dutch Jewry warned this month that a plan to open a center for Syrian and Iraqi refugees in Amstelveen could puncture the community’s sense of relative safety.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has raised the possibility of revoking certain rights of a proportion of Palestinians living in the occupied territories.
According to unidentified Israeli officials, Netanyahu spoke of the possibility of revoking the resident status and travel rights of some Palestinians living in East al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Monday.
Palestinian officials condemned the potential move as ethnic cleansing, arguing it will deny Palestinians their fundamental rights.
Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), said the step, if adopted, would deprive Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied al-Quds of the most basic rights and services and provoke confrontations.
“This alarming escalation, an inhuman and illegal measure, must be stopped immediately,” Ashrawi said in a statement.

(JTA) — A French Jewish politician from Marseille suggested that the recent assault against three Jews there was connected to hostile media coverage of Israel in France.
Hagay Sobol, a regional alderman for the Socialist Party and vice president of Marseille’s Edmond Fleg Jewish Community Center, made the claim Sunday on Twitter in reference to the stabbing the previous day of a Jewish man by an attacker who also hit and accosted a rabbi and his 19-year-old son. The stabbing victim, 44, was seriously hurt but is no longer in danger.
“In this anti-Semitic attack, we cannot exclude the media coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict,” Sobol wrote.
Many French and other European Jews and pro-Israel activists have complained of what they call biased reporting that presents Palestinians as victims who were hurt while trying to kill Jews in Israel.

(JTA) — Former porn star Jenna Jameson will be the subject of a reality show documenting her conversion to Judaism and her upcoming marriage in Israel.
Jameson’s Israeli fiance, diamond merchant Lior Bitton, told Israel’s Walla news that the show is in its early production stages, the Times of Israel reported Tuesday. It is unclear where the show will air.
Jameson, 41, retired from pornography in 2008 after winning over 35 adult film awards in a 15-year career. She announced in June that she was converting to Judaism to marry Bitton. Since then, she has repeatedly shown support for Israel and showcased her kosher cooking on social media.
(JTA) — Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson again defended his claim that gun control helped enable the Holocaust, saying even some rabbis backed his assertion.
Appearing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Carson reiterated his claim that gun control in Germany that began in the late 1930s was a factor enabling the Nazis to perpetrate genocide against the Jews.
“[I]n the last several weeks, I’ve heard from many people in the Jewish community, including rabbis, who said, ‘You’re spot on. You are exactly right,’” Carson said on the news program after host Chuck Todd observed that “the minute you talk about the Holocaust, people stop listening.”

EU foreign policy desk scrambles to change wording of statement, attributes formulation to ‘technical error’
The European Union on Tuesday for a short while appeared to have formally recognized a Palestinian state, but later backtracked, saying the ostensible change in policy was due to a “technical error.”
A statement published by the union’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, initially referred to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas “the President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas.”
The European Parliament and parliaments from several EU member states have recognized a Palestinian state, as has the government of Sweden.
But the union’s External Action Service – its foreign policy branch – has not followed suit, avoiding any mentioning of the phrase “State of Palestine.”
A few hours after Mogherini’s statement was posted on the EEAS website it was amended to refer to the Palestinian leader as “Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.”

Saturday night event will end week of ceremonies marking 20th anniversary of murder of PM
Former United States president Bill Clinton will speak at a Tel Aviv rally marking the 20th anniversary of the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
The rally on Saturday night, at the square that now bears Rabin’s name, will cap a week of commemorative events in Israel, including a state ceremony at Mount Herzl and a special Knesset session.
In his eulogy for Rabin at the state funeral in Jerusalem, Clinton memorably ended with the words “Shalom, chaver,” or “Goodbye, friend.”
Rabin was slain on November 5, 1995, by a Jewish extremist at the square that will host Saturday’s rally.
Republican front-runner says former Florida governor, who was forced to cut his campaign payroll, is ’embarrassing his family’
JACKSONVILLE, Florida (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump mocked former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in the former Florida governor’s home state Saturday, saying recent campaign cuts show he’s not ready to be president.
The comment came the day after the Bush campaign said it was cutting payroll by 40 percent by trimming staff and requiring an across the board pay cut for those remaining.
Trump said Bush, the son and brother for former presidents, is “losing badly and embarrassing his family.”
“Bush has no money. He’s cutting. He’s meeting today with mommy and daddy and they’re working on their campaign,” Trump told a raucous crowd of thousands gathered along the riverfront of one of Florida’s most conservative cities.
He chastised Bush for paying his finance director more than $1 million and said that if campaign staffers were willing to work for lower pay, he should have made that deal when the campaign started.
