Tehran threatens the UAE for its deal with Israel ............
September 9, 2020
An Iranian official Hossein Amir Abdollahian [pictured above] has warned that the UAE will also bear the brunt of Iran’s retaliation for “any incident – covert or overt” carried out by the Zionists that is detrimental to Iran’s security and stability.
“The big mistake committed by the UAE is establishing relations with the cancer of the region, the Zionist entity… is not in the best interest of the Emiratis,” he said..

Israel faces lockdown of up to a month from next week.....
September 9, 2020
The steady spike in coronavirus infection – 3,506 on Tuesday – prompted Israel’s health authorities on Wednesday, September 9 to urge a national lockdown lasting three weeks to a month, and starting even before the High Holidays, namely, early next week.
This advice by Professor Ronni Gamzu to the coronavirus cabinet also stems from the extremely uneven response to the weeklong night curfews imposed on 40 hotbed towns and districts on Tuesday. In blatant defiance of the directives, Hassidic rabbis staged a mass wedding in Haifa, attended by Department of Education Minister Rabbi Porush, and some schools opened as usual.
In other areas, schoolchildren in the southern town of Yeruham staged a party with lively dancing, and revellers gathered at Tel Aviv bars – all without masks and within close hugging distance.
The police, which until now treated violations with a light hand, were instructed on Wednesday to remove the gloves. They will henceforth start breaking up illicit gatherings and opening criminal investigations against offenders.
The week-long curfew in selected areas was to have been a pilot for the coming comprehensive national lockdown.
The Health Ministry’s Director General, Professor Hezi Levy, commented in a TV interview that breaches of the health directives and lack of discipline re the wearing of masks and crowding were prevalent in all walks of Israeli society.
This conduct kept the infection figures ballooning, although, when analysed in depth, they proved that no more than 3.3% of all Israelis had been infected and, so far, the hospitals were by and large coping with coronavirus victims and their other patients. At the same time, they feared the approach of winter and the upsurge of seasonal ailments.
The government and prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu are taking constant flak for their failure to curb the virus in its second stage, unlike the first. Due to major differences among the coalition parties – i.e. “politics” – the restraints coming up now are said to be several weeks too late to do much good.
And it is feared that, when the ministers meet on Thursday to chart the next set of restrictions, they will again water them down for the sake of political compromise.
A senior physician at the Sheba Medical Centre lashed out at the Israeli public rather than the politicians. He said people were irresponsibly risking lives by ignoring the most fundamental measures for slowing the spread of the coronavirus.
Quite simply, the centre’s Dr. Gadi Segal [medical expert?] told people that lockdowns and stiff restraints that were painful for everyone could be avoided if only they donned masks when they got up each morning and wore them all day, while strictly observing the requisite distance from their fellows.
The behaviour he witnessed he called shameful. People are dying, [?] he said, and it was time for everyone to start taking the pandemic seriously.
[The problem is that this is NOT a pandemic. Wearing of masks is not a solution. The death rates world-wide from this virus alone are miniscule. Hell hath no fury like a medical expert [so-called] scorned?]
