An announcement that Sudan will normalize ties with Israel could be made within days if the US and the United Arab Emirates agree to fulfill Sudan’s requests for financial aid, the report said. Sudanese officials have requested a $1.2 billion supply of wheat and fuel in the wake of recent catastrophic floods, a $2 billion grant to stabilize its economy, and a pledge of financial support from the US and the UAE over the next three years. Sudan also requested to be removed from the U.S. State Department’s list of state sponsors of terrorism.

Bahrain’s Interior Ministry stated on Sunday that it thwarted a mass Iranian terror attack plot, local media outlets reported. “The Interior Ministry managed to thwart a massive terrorist plot in the Kingdom of Bahrain that was backed and funded by Iran and members of the terrorist Revolutionary Guard Corps,” a statement by the Bahraini newspaper Akhbar Al-Khaleej said. However, on Monday, Baharain said that the plot was thwarted in early 2020, only hours after Saudi state television and Bahraini news reports implied the plot was new in their reporting Sunday night, just days after the island kingdom normalized relations with Israel. Sources said that Iranian agents infiltrated the country and were planning multiple attacks in Bahraini public and national security sites.

A disturbing incident occurred in Manchester on Shabbos, the first day of Rosh Hashanah, when three sifrei Torah fell on the ground in the Chabad shul on Singelton Street. The shul was holding tefillos outdoors in the courtyard of the shul due to the coronavirus. The sifrei Torah were placed within an Aron Kodesh on a table but apparently the makeshift arrangement was not sufficiently secure as a strong wind blew the aron with the sifrei Torah onto the ground. The incident, which would have been disturbing at any time but was especially distressful due to it occurring on Yom HaDin, was a source of great shock and tzaar to the mispallelim.

The newly formed U.S. Space Force is deploying troops to a vast new frontier: the Arabian Peninsula. Space Force now has a squadron of 20 airmen stationed at Qatar’s Al-Udeid Air Base in its first foreign deployment. The force, pushed by President Donald Trump, represents the sixth branch of the U.S. military and the first new military service since the creation of the Air Force in 1947. It has provoked skepticism in Congress, satire on Netflix, and, with its uncannily similar logo, “Star Trek” jokes about intergalactic battles. Future wars may be waged in outer space, but the Arabian Desert already saw what military experts dub the world’s first “space war” — the 1991 Desert Storm operation to drive Iraqi forces from Kuwait. Today, the U.S.

Last week, Daniel Shomer ended a six-month period of leaving his home in Panama for only two hours a day three times a week. Shomer, an Israeli who lives with his family in the Central American country, told Ynet last week what living through a six-month lockdown was like. Shomer explained that following the outbreak of the coronavirus, the Panamian government announced a night curfew on March 13 and declared a full lockdown on March 24. “They decided to separate between men and women, with men allowed to go out three times a week and women allowed to go out three times a week. [The gender separation was in order for the police to easily identify stay-at-home violators.] “Going out was only allowed with identity cards and only for two hours – for shopping.

Ramat Givat Zeev is a luxurious neighborhood that includes many spacious parks, a magnificent mikveh, a shopping center, shuls and schools. Now the community leaders are working toward strengthening the community of American olim, with the arrival of Hagaon Harav Betzalel Rudinsky, one of the leading rabbis in the American Orthodox community.
