President Reuven (Ruvi) Rivlin Yesterday, Tuesday 29 October / 30 Tishrei, welcomed a delegation of leading Australian political figures, past and present and headed by former prime minister John Howard, to Beit HaNasi. Attached photo credit: Mark Neiman (GPO) The delegation is in Israel at the initiative of the Israeli Embassy in Canberra, together with the Ministry for Jerusalem Affairs and the Australian Jewish community. On Thursday, there will be ceremonies to mark the 102nd anniversary of the victory of the ANZAC forces, including the Desert Mounted Force and the Australian Light Horse in the capture of Beersheva during the First World War, a date of great historical significance. “We have been close friends for 70 years now. Our friendship is based on the shared value of democracy, our shared history and on strong bipartisan support,” said the president at the beginning of his remarks, welcoming the delegation to Israel. He added that he was looking forward to his visit to Australia in early 2020, which has been in planning for a long time and represents an important additional step in the relations between the countries. The president continued, “Despite the huge geographical distance between Israel and Australia, we share many common challenges in different fields. The cooperation between us could lead to shared solutions. Two years ago, I was honored to participate in the centenary celebrations of the ANZAC forces in the capture of Beersheva. That victory changed the face of the Middle East. And today, the region is facing geo-strategic changes and we are following them closely and with readiness.” During the conversation, the representatives of the Australian Jewish community expressed the concern the community feels about the legal case of Malka Leifer. The president stressed he understood the gravity of the issue for the Australian public and added that it was painful for us, too. He also said that the relevant authorities at the State Prosecutor, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Justice Ministry are of the opinion that extradition should be carried out as soon as possible and are doing all in their power to ensure that is the case. “The Israeli legal system is independent, but the State of Israel is doing everything possible to move the extradition forward,” the president said. #JohnHoward #Australian #IsraelPresident #Rivlin #worldNews #IsraelNews

魯文里夫林總統昨天，週二10月29日/ 30提斯利月，歡迎澳大利亞領先的政治人物，過去和現在以及前總理約翰·霍華德率領的代表團，貝特哈哈納斯。 圖片：Mark Neiman（GPO） 該代表團是在以色列駐堪培拉大使館的倡議下，與耶路撒冷事務部和澳大利亞猶太社區一起在以色列進行的。在星期四，將舉行紀念ANZAC部隊勝利102週年的儀式，其中包括沙漠騎兵和澳大利亞輕騎兵在第一次世界大戰期間佔領比爾謝娃的日子，具有重要的歷史意義。 “我們已經成為密友70年了。我們的友誼基於民主的共同價值，我們共同的歷史和兩黨的有力支持。”主席在講話開始時表示歡迎以色列代表團。他補充說，他期待著2020年初對澳大利亞的訪問，這已經進行了很長時間的計劃，這是兩國關係中又邁出了重要的一步。 總統繼續說：“儘管以色列和澳大利亞之間地理距離遙遠，但我們在不同領域面臨許多共同的挑戰。我們之間的合作可能導致共同的解決方案。兩年前，我很榮幸參加了俘獲比爾謝娃的ANZAC部隊百年慶典。這場胜利改變了中東的面貌。如今，該地區正面臨著地緣戰略變化，我們正在密切關注並隨時準備就緒。” 在談話中，澳大利亞猶太社區的代表表達了該社區對馬爾卡·萊弗（Malka Leifer）訴訟案的關注。總統強調，他理解這個問題對澳大利亞公眾的重要性，並補充說這對我們來說也是痛苦的。他還說，國家檢察官，外交部和司法部的有關當局認為應盡快進行引渡，並正在竭盡全力確保確實如此。總統說：“以色列的法律制度是獨立的，但是以色列國正在盡一切可能使引渡向前推進。” #霍華德 #澳大利亞前總理 #政治 #以色列 #里夫林總統 #國際新聞 #環球新聞 #以色列新聞

At a historic meeting held Yesterday (Monday, 28 October 2019), at Vatican City, representatives of the Chief Rabbinate, along with the heads of the major faiths, signed a historic and preliminary document (see attached PDF file) calling on doctors around the world not to assist in killing people even if they terminal patients. Attached photo credit: Chief Rabbinate Spokesperson Kobi Alter Recent years have seen an increase in "mercy killing" in various countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, and Australia, and in several US states. There are hospitals in these countries that encourage certain doctors and medical personnel to disconnect terminal patients from cardio-pulmonary resuscitation machines, thereby allowing patients to expire in the absence of appropriate care, and even encourage families to actively end the lives of terminal patients by injecting toxins into their bodies; in extreme cases healthy people choose to end their lives assisted by doctors. According to the Jewish faith, as well as the other monotheistic religions, this constitutes actual murder with the backing of medical personnel around the world. In reaction to this and at the initiative of Rabbi Prof. Avraham Steinberg, an inter-faith committee was established together with representatives of other religions. After lengthy discussion, the committee formulated a position paper on the importance of continuity of life and the meaning of murder for a patient, his family and even for the element carrying out the murder. Joining in this position paper were representatives of Sunni Muslims from Indonesia (the largest Sunni group in the world), and of the Greek Orthodox Church, as well as from other faiths around the world. The signing ceremony for the historic declaration was held at Vatican City in Rome. A Chief Rabbinate delegation led by Supreme Rabbinical Council members Rabbi Ratzon Arousi and Rabbi Eliezer Simcha Weiss, together with Professor Steinberg, a representative of the Chief Rabbinate to the Inter-faith Conference that initiated the writing of the declaration, Chief Rabbinate Director General Rabbi Moshe Dagan, Oded Wiener and Rabbi David Rosen traveled – at the behest of the chief rabbis of Israel – to the Vatican in order to sign the historic declaration. In a "sense of the Torah" letter, Sephardic Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef wrote: "Killing terminal patients is certainly included under the prohibition 'You shall not murder' in the Ten Commandments. Happy is man – every man – that he was created in the Divine Image. Life is a gift from the Creator of the world which we cannot take – Heaven forfend! – from others." Rabbi Yosef added: "However, every effort must be made to ease the suffering and the pain of patients approaching death, medically, spiritually and materially, without hastening their death." In a special letter on the occasion of the signing ceremony, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau referred to the importance of the occasion and the fact that he was unable to attend and sign the position paper that unites the three monotheistic religions. He expanded on the importance of the value of life in Judaism including the principle that one may not hasten the death of any person even if there appears to be no chance of recovery. Rabbi Lau lent his support to the families that must face the suffering of a loved one but noted that they must remember that the importance of life must be upheld even in difficult times. In conclusion, Chief Rabbi Lau wrote that Jewish law holds that 'There is a severe prohibition on causing the death of any person even if he is in a difficult and terminal situation. In certain cases, it is possible to discuss refraining from prolonging life but no action may be carried out to shorten life. Whoever kills the dying, kills." Chief Rabbi Lau ended his letter: "May it be His will that together we will instill this position in all humanity." Following the reading of the main points of the declaration and the chief rabbis' letters, representatives of the participating religions spoke. The first speaker was Chief Rabbinate Council member and Chief Rabbi of the city of Kiryat Ono Rabbi Ratzon Arousi, who all chaired the Chief Rabbinate delegation. He referred to the great importance of the declaration and noted that it was signed by representatives of all the world's faiths. "This is an historic day in which representatives of all faiths sign a statement calling for the saving of life. Its dissemination around the world will bring peace and we will live together. The sanctity of life is an important value in Judaism. Happy is man that was created in the image of G-d and his life is determined by G-d." The representatives of the Chief Rabbinate signed the declaration as it was formulated by Prof. Steinberg – who serves on the Pontifical Academy for Life and as a representative of the Chief Rabbinate for inter-faith dialogue – together with representatives of the other faiths. The declaration details the importance of life for all persons who were created in the Divine Image and notes that the value of life is a supreme value for all of the participating faiths. After the signing, the document was presented to Pope Francis by the committee members and by Chief Rabbinate Director General Rabbi Moshe Dagan, who presented the Pontiff with a gift on behalf of the Chief Rabbinate – an engraving of the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Chief Rabbinate Council member Rabbi Eliezer Simcha Weiss thanked the representatives of the other faiths for their participation and for the important call and said that this was an historic and important day. He noted that this week's Sabbath Torah portion was Noah (Genesis 6:9-11:32) in which the nations of the world are commanded to observe the seven precepts of Noah including the precept to preserve life and said that, "By this joint declaration, we are helping to keep this precept by the believers of all faiths." #Rabbinate #Rabbi Prof. Avraham Steinberg #Israel #news #worldNews

在昨天（2019年10月28日星期一）在梵蒂岡舉行的一次歷史性會議上，酋長酋長代表與主要宗教信仰的首領們簽署了一份歷史性和初步文件，呼籲世界各地的醫生即使他們使患者身患絕症，世界也不協助殺人。 照片：首席拉巴寧 發言人Kobi Alter 近年來，在荷蘭，比利時，加拿大和澳大利亞等多個國家以及美國的多個州，“仁慈殺人”現像有所增加。這些國家/地區的醫院鼓勵某些醫生和醫務人員將絕症患者從心肺復蘇機上斷開，從而使他們在沒有適當護理的情況下就可以死亡，甚至鼓勵家人通過注射來積極終結絕症患者的生命。毒素進入體內；在極端情況下，健康人會選擇在醫生的協助下結束生命。 根據猶太人的信仰以及其他一神教宗教，這構成了在全球醫務人員的支持下的實際謀殺案。為此，在拉比教授阿夫拉罕·斯坦伯格（Avraham Steinberg）的倡議下，與其他宗教的代表一起成立了一個信仰間委員會。經過長時間的討論，委員會就患者，其家人乃至進行謀殺的人員的生命連續性的重要性和謀殺的意義制定了一份立場文件。來自印尼（世界上最大的遜尼派組織），希臘東正教教會以及世界其他宗教的遜尼派穆斯林代表也加入了這一立場文件。 歷史宣言的簽字儀式在羅馬的梵蒂岡城舉行。由最高猶太教理事會成員拉比·拉松·阿朗西和拉比·埃利澤·辛查·魏斯領導的拉比酋長代表團，以及發起該宣言的宗教間首席會議代表拉賓·斯坦伯格教授斯坦·拉比首席總幹事拉比·莫西達根（Dagan），奧德·維納（Oded Wiener）和拉比（Rabbi）大衛·羅森（David Rosen）應以色列首席拉比的要求，前往梵蒂岡簽署了歷史性宣言。 塞巴第酋長拉比·伊扎克·約瑟夫（Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef）在一封《摩西五經》中寫道：“在十誡中，殺害絕症患者當然被包括在'你不可謀殺'的禁令之內。生命是來自世界創造主的禮物，我們不能從別人那裡得到–天賜福！” 拉比·約瑟夫（Rabbi Yosef）補充說：“但是，必須盡一切努力在不加速死亡的情況下從醫學，精神和物質上減輕接近死亡的患者的痛苦和痛苦。” 在簽字儀式上的一封特別信中，阿什肯納齊酋長拉比·大衛·劉（Rabbi David Lau）提到了這一場合的重要性，以及他無法出席並簽署將三種一神教統一的立場文件的事實。他擴大了生命價值在猶太教中的重要性，包括一個原則，即即使似乎沒有康復的機會，也不能加速任何人的死亡。劉嘉賓向必鬚麵對親人的痛苦的家庭提供了支持，但指出他們必須牢記即使在困難時期也必須堅持生活的重要性。 最後，首席拉比勞·劉（Rabbi Lau）寫道，猶太法律認為：“即使在處於困境和絕境的情況下，也嚴格禁止造成任何人死亡。在某些情況下，可以討論避免延長壽命，但不採取任何措施縮短壽命。誰殺死了垂死者，誰就殺死了。”劉總書記結束了他的信：“願我們一起將這一立場灌輸給全人類，這是他的意願。” 在閱讀了宣言的要點和主要的拉比信之後，參加宗教的代表發了言。第一位發言者是酋長委員會成員，基拉特·奧諾·拉比·拉松·拉宗·阿魯西市的首席拉比，他們全都擔任首席拉比代表團團長。他提到該宣言的重要性，並指出該宣言是由世界所有信仰的代表簽署的。“今天是歷史性的一天，所有信仰的代表簽署了一項呼籲挽救生命的聲明。在全世界的傳播將帶來和平，我們將生活在一起。生命的神聖性是猶太教的重要價值。人類是幸福的以Gd的形象創造，他的生活由Gd決定。” 斯坦賓酋長的代表與其他宗教的代表一起簽署了宣言，該宣言是由斯坦伯格教授（他在羅馬教宗生命學院任職，並且是負責宗教間對話的酋長代表的代表）制定的。宣言詳細闡明了生命對於所有在神像中創造的人的重要性，並指出生命的價值是所有參與信仰的至高無上的價值。簽字後，文件由委員會成員和拉比納特酋長總幹事拉比·摩西·達根（Rabbi Moshe Dagan）提交給教宗方濟各，後者代表拉比納特酋長向邦蒂夫贈送了禮物-耶路撒冷西牆的ing刻版畫。 猶太教委員會首席委員拉比·埃利澤·辛查·魏斯感謝其他宗教的代表的參與和重要的呼籲，並說這是一個歷史性的重要日子。他指出，本週的安息日律法部分是諾亞（創世記6：9-11：32），其中世界各國被命令遵守諾亞的七個戒律，包括保存生命的戒律，並說：“宣言，我們正在幫助所有信仰的信徒遵守這一戒律。” #猶太教 #天主教 #基督教 #歷史性協議 #國際新聞 #要聞 #即時國際

Following is an excerpt from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks Yesterday (Monday, 28 October 2019), at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem, to the Attached photo credit: Koby Gideon (GPO) Jewish Agency Board of Governors: "The only way to secure the Jewish future, the necessary condition for securing the Jewish future is to secure the future of the Jewish state. The Jewish state, I believe has responsibility for the Jewish communities around the world. I have just been appointed Minister of Diaspora Affairs yesterday. The government approved it without debate. I intend to pass money from that office to the purpose of protecting Jewish communities from the rising scourge of violent antisemitism, and therefore that money will pass and it’s overdue. But we have obviously other challenges: to battle the spirit – if that’s what it could be called – the evil spirit of antisemitism; to encourage and to demand from governments worldwide to fight it; to cooperate with them in fighting it; to foster the Hebrew language, the identity, Jewish identity, the connection to Israel, which I believe is vital, as I said, for securing the Jewish future. But if you remove the State of Israel, there is no Jewish future. Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons. It’s transgressing on its agreement and commitment. Iran wants to develop precision guided missiles that can hit any target in Israel within five to ten meters. It’s doing that. Iran wants to use Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen as bases to attack Israel with statistical missiles and precision-guided missiles. That is a great, great danger. To ward off this danger, we have to do two things. First we must unite, because in the face of danger, we unite. This is not a spin, this is not a line, this is a real thing that is happening as the power balance in the Middle East changes. We must be strong. And to be strong, we have to be united as a people, united in spirit, united in our quest to secure the future of the Jewish state and the Jewish people. But to be strong, you have to be strong militarily. And to be strong militarily, we have to shift now money from the civilian areas to the military areas. That is very hard to do. You can do it in a time of crisis, when things happen that everybody can see, or you can do it in anticipation of avoiding a crisis. And that requires a very broad-shouldered government. That’s what we need today. We will have to change our priorities now, because the first thing we must do is ensure the security and safety of the Jewish state. It is well within our powers. We have the ingenuity. We’ve already developed what we need, offensive and defensive weapons. But we need a lot. We enjoy the friendship of the United States and the solid alliance, but always we remember the principle that I annunciate time and time again, during every year as my tenure as prime minister, Israel must be able to defend itself, by itself, against any threat. And this now requires a national commitment, a broad based national commitment to arm the State of Israel so that we can defend ourselves by ourselves against any threat." #Netanyahu #Jerusalem #Israel #News

耶路撒冷消息:以色列總理本傑明·內塔尼亞胡昨天（2019年10月28日，星期一）在耶路撒冷梅納赫姆·貝肯遺產中心致猶太機構理事會的講話： 圖片：Koby Gideon（GPO） “確保猶太人未來的唯一途徑，是確保猶太人未來的必要條件，是確保猶太人國家的未來。我認為，猶太人國家對世界各地的猶太社區負有責任。 我昨天剛剛被任命為散居國外事務大臣。政府未經辯論就批准了它。我打算將錢從該辦公室轉用於保護猶太社區免受暴力反猶太主義日益加劇的禍害的影響，因此這筆錢會過去，而且已經過期。但是，我們顯然還有其他挑戰：與反猶太主義的邪惡精神作鬥爭（如果可以這樣說的話）；鼓勵並要求世界各國政府與之作鬥爭；與他們合作進行鬥爭；為了培養希伯來語，身份，猶太身份以及與以色列的聯繫，正如我所說，我認為這對於確保猶太人的未來至關重要。但是，如果您刪除以色列國，就不會有猶太人的前途。 伊朗希望發展核武器。它正在違背其協議和承諾。伊朗希望研製能夠在5至10米內擊中以色列任何目標的精確制導導彈。就是那樣 伊朗希望以伊朗，伊拉克，敘利亞，黎巴嫩和也門為基地，以統計導彈和精確制導導彈襲擊以色列。那是一個巨大的巨大危險。為了避免這種危險，我們必須做兩件事。首先，我們必須團結起來，因為面對危險，我們團結起來。這不是自旋，不是一條線，這是隨著中東力量平衡的變化而發生的現實。 我們必須堅強。為了變得強大，我們必須團結一致，成為一個民族，團結一致，團結起來，共同追求確保猶太國家和猶太人民的未來。但是要堅強，就必須在軍事上堅強。為了增強軍事實力，我們現在必須將資金從平民區轉移到軍事區。那很難做到。當發生所有人都能看到的事情時，您可以在發生危機的時候這樣做，也可以在避免發生危機的情況下這樣做。這就需要一個非常寬廣的政府。這就是我們今天需要的。 我們現在必須改變優先次序，因為我們首先要做的是確保猶太國家的安全。這完全在我們的能力範圍內。我們有創造力。我們已經開發了所需的進攻性和防禦性武器。 但是我們需要很多。我們享受美國的友誼和牢固的聯盟，但我們始終牢記我一次又一次宣布這一原則，在我擔任總理期間，每年以色列都必須能夠自己捍衛自己，反對任何威脅。現在這需要國家的承諾，是對以色列國進行武裝的基礎廣泛的國家承諾，以便我們能夠為任何威脅自己捍衛自己。” #猶太社區 #以色列 #內塔尼亞胡 #反猶太主義 #國際新聞 #即時國際 #環球新聞

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this afternoon (Monday, 28 October 2019), at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, met with US Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin. Attached photo credit: Amos Ben-Gershom (GPO) Prime Minister Netanyahu at the start of the meeting: “Welcome, Secretary Mnuchin. This is I don’t know which visit since you took office. Our relationship and our alliance has never been stronger. First, I want to congratulate President Trump, the Armed Forces of the United States and the American people for the successful action against Baghdadi, and it’s good that this murderer has met his fate. We do know that we still have an ongoing battle against terrorism, both of the extremist Sunnis led by Daesh, but also the extremist Shiites led by Iran, that is making a plunge for everything and everywhere in the Middle East. Iran is seeking to develop now precision-guided munitions, missiles that can hit any target in the Middle East with a circumference of five to ten meters. They are developing this in Iran. They want to place them in Iraq and in Syria, and to convert Lebanon’s arsenal of 130,000 statistical rockets to precision-guided munitions. They seek also to develop that, and have already begun to put that in Yemen, with the goal of reaching Israel from there too. We view Iran as the greatest threat to peace, stability and our security, and the security of many others. They fired into Saudi Arabia. They’ve interfered with international shipping lanes. They’ve attacked Americans and they’ve killed Americans throughout the last ten years in Afghanistan and elsewhere. Iran is the single greatest threat to stability and peace in the Middle East. That doesn’t mean that there are no others. There are. We are, the Middle East is rich with several things, and one of them is terrorist-exporting nations and groups. So while there’s a tremendous achievement yesterday in the action against the leader of Daesh, there still remains a massive effort against the other forces of terror, and the nation, the terror-state of Iran. We have enjoyed great support from the United States in this effort twice. One, in the military assistance that the United States generously gives us. And second, in the effort that you and President Trump lead all the time, which is the increase of sanctions against Iran. You have recently added the anti-money laundering sanctions, which apply to the banks. That’s a very powerful tool, in addition to others that you put forward. And I encourage you to put even more. Iran’s capacity—we see this very clearly—to launch its aggression, to develop its weapons of death, to purvey its menacing ways: that capacity is diminished to the extent that you can tighten your sanctions and make their, the availability of cash more difficult for them. We see this in every part of the Middle East. I want to thank you for what you’ve been doing, and encourage you, Steve, to do more, more, a lot more. And thank you for your friendship.” Also attending the meeting were – inter alia – National Security Council Director Meir Ben-Shabbat, Israeli Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer, Bank of Israel Governor Amir Yaron, Prime Minister’s Office Acting Director General Ronen Peretz, National Economic Council Chairman Avi Simhon. #USSecretaryoftheTreasuryStevenMnuchin.#Netanyahu #WorldNews #IsraelNews

以色列總理本傑明·內塔尼亞胡昨天下午（2019年10月28日，星期一）在耶路撒冷總理辦公室會見了美國財政部長史蒂芬·姆努欽（Steven Mnuchin）。 隨附的圖片來源：Amos Ben-Gershom（GPO） 內塔尼亞胡總理在會晤中講： “歡迎您，努欽部長。自您上任以來，我不知道你這是第幾次的來訪。我們的關係和聯盟從未如此牢固。 首先，我要祝賀特朗普總統，美國武裝部隊和美國人對巴格達迪採取了成功的行動，這名兇手實現了自己的命運真是太好了。我們確實知道，我們仍然在與恐怖主義進行鬥爭，無論是由達伊什（Daesh）領導的極端主義遜尼派，還是以伊朗為首的極端主義什葉派，這都為中東的所有地區和地方造成了巨大的打擊。 伊朗正在尋求發展現在的精確制導彈藥，這種導彈可以在五到十米的圓周上擊中中東的任何目標。他們正在伊朗開發這種產品。他們希望將它們放置在伊拉克和敘利亞，並將黎巴嫩的13萬枚統計火箭武器轉換成精確制導的彈藥。他們還尋求發展這一點，並已開始將其放在也門，目的也是從那裡到達以色列。 我們認為伊朗是對和平，穩定與我們的安全以及其他許多國家安全的最大威脅。他們向沙特阿拉伯開火。他們干擾了國際運輸路線。在過去的十年中，他們在阿富汗和其他地方襲擊了美國人，並殺死了美國人。伊朗是中東穩定與和平的唯一最大威脅。這並不意味著沒有其他人。有。我們是，中東有很多東西，其中之一就是恐怖分子出口國和集團。 因此，儘管昨天在對達伊沙領導人的行動中取得了巨大成就，但仍然需要對其他恐怖勢力以及伊朗這個恐怖國家這個國家作出巨大努力。 我們在這項工作中兩次獲得美國的大力支持。第一，在美國慷慨提供給我們的軍事援助中。其次，在您和特朗普總統一直領導的努力中，這是對伊朗制裁的增加。您最近添加了適用於銀行的反洗錢制裁。除了您提出的其他工具之外，這是一個非常強大的工具。我鼓勵您多投入一些。伊朗的能力，我們很清楚地看到了這一點，它開始發動侵略，發展其死亡武器，提供其威脅性方式：這種能力在一定程度上降低了，以至於您可以加強制裁併使現金的供應更加困難為他們。我們在中東的每個地方都看到這一點。 我要感謝您所做的一切，並鼓勵您，史蒂夫，做更多，更多，更多。並感謝您的友誼。” 出席會議的還有國家安全委員會主任梅爾·本·沙巴特，以色列駐美國大使羅恩·德默，以色列銀行行長阿米爾·亞倫，總理府代理總幹事羅南·佩雷茨，國民經濟委員會主席阿維·西蒙。 #美國財政部長史蒂芬·姆努欽 #以色列總理內塔尼亞胡 #國際新聞 #環球新聞 #即時國際 #以色列要聞
