Russia has denied reports that it has reached an agreement with the US over the fate of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as part of efforts to end the crisis in the Arab country.

Citing a UN Security Council diplomat, London-based Arabic language newspaper al-Hayat reported on Thursday that US Secretary of State John Kerry had informed several Arab countries of the alleged Moscow-Washington understanding that includes “Assad’s transfer to another country.” The report added, however, that “the timing and context of that in the political process remains unclear to everyone at the moment.”

But Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected the report as false during a press conference later in the day.

“Al-Hayat published information which does not correspond to reality,” Peskov told journalists.

“Russia is advantageously different from other nations because it does not discuss the issue of the self-determination of third countries either through diplomatic or other channels,” the Russian official added.

On March 25, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov also said that Russia and the US had reached an understanding on Moscow’s “basic thesis that deciding the issue of the future of Syria’s president should not be on the agenda at this stage.”

The developments come amid a US-Russia brokered ceasefire in Syria that came into force on February 27 as part of efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the five-year-long foreign-sponsored militancy in the Arab country. The agreement stipulates the cessation of all military hostilities in Syria, except for the operations against the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group and the Syrian al-Qaeda, known as al-Nusra Front.

Meanwhile, the Syrian president has expressed readiness to hold snap presidential elections if Syrians so choose, although it is not included in the current political process.

A 25 year old from Orenburg, Aleksandr Prokhorenko, has been revealed as the serviceman, dubbed ‘Russian Rambo’ by international media, who died a hero. He called a strike on himself while surrounded by Islamic State during a battle near Palmyra.

Authorities in Russia’s Orenburg region confirmed his identity.

“This hero was a native of the village of Gorodki in the Orenburg region – 25-year-old Aleksandr Prokhorenko,” the press service of the governor of the region said.

Aleksandr had dreamt of joining the military since his childhood, his friends recall, as cited by Orenburg news outlet Orenday. Born into a family of servicemen, Aleksandr and his younger brother Ivan decided to follow in the footsteps of their forefathers.

A new trove of documents, obtained by an RT Documentary crew who recently uncovered details of illicit ISIS oil business with Turkey, sheds light on jihadists’ lucrative trade of looted antiquities along their well-established oil and weapons transit routes.

There is no official accounting that would illustrate the true scale of looting being undertaken in Syria, a land once rich with cultural treasures. However, there is no doubt that since radical Islamists established a foothold in the region under raging civil war, pieces of the world’s global heritage have ended up in the hands of terrorists.

Along with oil smuggling, a lucrative trade in antiquities has become ISIS’s source of income to support its devastating operations, many of which leveled unique historic sites such as Palmyra. Artifacts, some worth thousands of dollars apiece, have been turning up in antique markets from eastern Europe to the US.

The British foreign secretary has rejected cooperation with Moscow until it “respects” the rules of the international system, to which Philip Hammond said Russia continues to pose a challenge and threat. TrendsIslamic State, Russian anti-terror op in Syria, Syria unrest

“Russia ignores the norms of international conduct and breaks the rules of the international system. That represents a challenge and a threat to all of us,” Hammond said during a two-day visit to Georgia. “There has to be a way that respects the rules of the international system if we are going to be able to do business together.”

The Belgian Interior Ministry has information on 386 Belgians who have participated in the Syrian war on the side of the terrorists, according to a recent state report, as quoted by Belgian newspaper Derniere Heure.

Citing the Interior Ministry, the media outlet said that “269 [of these] people are still in Syria, and 117 are back in the country [Belgium].” Fifty-nine more people attempted to leave Syria but failed, it added.

The report by the Interior Ministry contained data on Belgian residents and on migrants from the Middle East that either reside in Belgium or used to live there.

The High Court of Justice held that conversions performed in ‘recognized Jewish communities’ outside of the state’s official rabbinate are acceptable as relates to the Law of Return; both chief rabbis protest, saying the court ‘will not decide who is a Jew.’ The High Court of Justice ruled that the Law of Return requires that Israel recognize Jewish conversions performed in Orthodox communities that are not within the state conversion framework. The court wrote in its judgment, “We waited for the legislature’s say on this. Since it has failed to legislate on this matter, we do not see any alternative but a judicial decision.”
Several converts filed the petition after the state refused to recognize their conversion, and the Masorti (conservative) and Reform movements joined them.

RIO DE JANEIRO (JTA) — Brazil enacted its first anti-terrorism law, for which Jewish officials had advocated.

President Dilma Rousseff approved the legislation this week calling for 12 to 30 years in a high-security prison for committing an act of terrorism in Latin America’s largest nation. Thirty years is the maximum length of imprisonment under Brazilian criminal law.

Officials of the Brazilian Israelite Confederation, the country’s umbrella Jewish organization known as CONIB, had strongly supported the legislation, including writing Op-Eds in support that appeared in influential newspapers and magazines.

CONIB President Fernardo Lottenberg said the law makes Brazil and the Jewish community and better prepared to face the growing global threat of terrorism.

(JTA) — Canada’s foreign affairs minister said his country will soon reestablish ties with Iran.

“Canada’s severing of ties with Iran had no positive consequences for anyone: not for Canadians, not for the people of Iran, not for Israel and not for global security,” Stephane Dion said in a speech delivered Wednesday at a University of Ottawa conference on global affairs.

“Today, Canada must return to Iran to play a useful role in that region of the world. … We are being asked by all sides to reengage, and we are doing so.”

Canada closed its embassy in Tehran in 2012 over Iran’s nuclear program, as well as its hostile attitude toward Israel.

(JTA) — Only one in four Jewish victims of the Nazis who applied for compensation from a British fund were paid, newly released documents show.

Of the 4,206 applicants for compensation from a fund given to Britain by Germany in 1964, called the Nazi Persecution Compensation scheme, only 1,015 received any money, according to the documents made public this week by the British government’s National Archives.

The awards were capped at about $4,500.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (JTA) – In the days following terrorist attacks in Brussels, street celebrations broke out in several places in Belgium, the county’s vice prime minister said.

Jan Jambon made the statement about the March 22 bombings, which killed 35 people, on Wednesday during a symposium titled “Terrorism, Israel and International Law” and organized by the Dutch anti-racism and pro-Israel lobby group CIDI, or the Center of Information and Documentation on Israel, in The Hague.

Jambon, a rightist politician, made the remark while acknowledging Belgium has a jihadism problem. One of Europe’s smallest countries, Belgium is the continent’s biggest per capita source of jihadists fighting in Syria and Iraq, CNN reported. In February, Jambon revealed Belgium’s intelligence services have flagged 451 citizens as jihadists.

A university in Australia has been accused of “rewriting history” after it was revealed that it encourages students to use the terms “invaded, occupied, and colonized” when referring to the role of British settlers in the 18th century.

The contents of the University of New South Wales’ (UNSW) Indigenous Terminology Guide emerged after the Australian Daily Telegraph ran a piece with the headline ‘Whitewash,’ which criticized the university’s advocacy of the word “invaded” over “discovered” or “settled.”

“UNSW rewrites the history books to state [Captain James] Cook ‘invaded’ Australia,” the front page of the newspaper claimed.
