Virus in Israel, Syria and Iran. Malcolm Hoenlein: @conf_of_pres; @ThadMcCotter
Image: “And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils,and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.” Here: Stained glass in Church of St Thomas the Apostle, Killinghall, North Yorkshire, England. Church completed in 1880, by architect William Swinden Barber. A three-light window on the south aisle, illustrating Matthew 4.24: "And they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments." Malcolm Hoenlein, Conference of Presidents, and Thaddeus McCotter, @ThadMcCotter, American Greatness; in re: Gen Gantz essentially destroyed his party; so who gets which portfolio? Gantz apparently will be defense minister for 18 mos. IDF has been called in to develop quickly resources relating to the virus: food to homebound, and enforcing isolation. Syria: ISIS is taking advantage of the spread of corona, and spreading conspiracy theories ha the US an Israel had created it, Iraq’s weak state capacity: it depends on oil, whose price is so low. ISIS warned its members to avoid Europe. Trying to weaponize the pandemic. Prisoner release in Syria, esp Idlib; Russia came down heavily. Kurds. Release of ISIS fighters can become another factor in Syria. Houthis fired two ballistic missiles to Saudi Arabia. US-based system took the two missiles down; it's all coming from Iran. Also missiles from Gaza. Iranian agents dragged a dissenter into their embassy and murdered him there. Another case in Germany, and another such in Denmark. Iraq: targetting troops. New sanctions from State Dept. IRGC.
