Volume 13, Issue 58:
“Exactly 44 years ago this weekend, on July 3 to 4, 1976, Israel conducted Operation Entebbe, in which 248 passengers from an Air France flight from Tel Aviv to Paris were hijacked to Uganda. In a daring raid, “Operation Entebbe”, the IDF managed to rescue all of the hostages, with the exception of one, the idealistic, intelligent and courageous commander of the operation, Yonaton Netanyahu, who was killed in the operation. He was a beautiful young man, cut off far too young, at age 30 from what should have been a promising life. May his memory be a blessing.”
---Sarah Stern, Founder and President of EMET

** We Can Do More – It Is Time For America To Step Up To Turkey ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
** By Benjamin Weil / July 2nd, 2020
------------------------------------------------------------
The Turkish acquisition of the S-400 antiaircraft system, the illegal surveying and drilling in Cypriot waters, and the supporting the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization are just a few reasons that require American intervention. Although the past pressure has had an impact on the Turkish economy, it seems they were hardly enough to keep Turkey from continuing to go down the same path.
Voices on Capitol Hill have warned that applying harsh sanctions in response to the S-400 acquisition, for instance, will backfire – “it will only drive Turkey further into Russian arms”, they say. The geo-political climate in the region has changed and that claim does not hold any water these days. It is time for the United States to apply more pressure on Turkey. We, as the strongest nation in the world, should step up in order to promote regional stability, protect our interest in the region, and protect our allies.
Over the past few months, the tensions between Moscow and Ankara have risen tremendously. For starters, Russia and Turkey, backing opposite sides in the Syrian civil war, have been digging themselves deeper and deeper in Syria. As the weeks go by, more reports surface of convoys being hit by the opposite side and executed air raids hitting the other’s forces.
Similarly, the two countries are heavily invested in the Libya civil war as well. Russia had hope to replicate its recipe from Syria; support a side in the civil war and win energy contracts in return. But it was Turkey who beat them to it in Libya, and managed to secure oil agreements with the GNA, backed by the UN. This obviously is not seen favorably back in the Kremlin.
