Fatah officials tell Lebanese newspaper that the Palestinian Authority’s chairman has been effectively incapacitated by his declining health.

By World Israel News Staff

Mahmoud Abbas, chairman of the Palestinian Authority and head of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s Fatah faction, has been unable to fulfill his duties lately due to his failing health, an Arabic media outlet reported over the weekend.

On Saturday, the Lebanon-based, pro-Syrian Al-Akhbar newspaper cited multiple Fatah officials who claimed that Abbas’ medical condition has deteriorated to the point where he has often been left incapable of fulfilling his duties as Palestinian Authority chairman.

Abbas was slated to visit Ramallah’s Istishari Hospital several weeks ago for medical checks, the sources claimed, but cancelled the visit at trip at the last minute, instead calling for doctors to examine him at his office in Ramallah.

The Palestinian Authority chairman also reportedly was secretly transported to Jordan for a number of urgent medical treatments prior to his appearance at the United Nations on May 15th.

The age and ongoing health concerns of the 88-year-old Palestinian Authority leader, who is now serving his 19th year of a four-year term, have raised concerns regarding the future stability of the PA both in the U.S. and within the ruling Fatah party.

“Recently, the heads of the movement’s central committee examined medical reports on his health condition, and actually began to prepare for the next stage of the fight to replace Abu Mazen,” senior Fatah official said, referring to Abbas by his nom de guerre.

Against background of rising murder rates in Israel’s Arab sector, police contending with wave of investigators looking to leave the force.

By Lauren Marcus, World Israel News

Israel’s embattled police force is currently facing a wave of mass resignations by prosecutors and senior officials, as murder rates in the Jewish state continue to rise and the force is the subject of a power struggle between left-wing activists and National Security Minister Itamar-Ben Gvir.

At least 40 police prosecutors and dozens of investigators and detectives have put in formal requests to resign from the force, according to a report from Kan News.

“There is nobody to investigate the murders,” a senior police official told Kan, adding that the force is currently understaffed by some 5,000 officers.

En masse resignations could potentially exacerbate logistical challenges around personnel shortages and the lengthy process for indicting accused murderers.

The police’s low rates of prosecution for murders in the Arab community has come under scrutiny in recent months, but police failures regarding arresting and trying alleged killers in the Jewish sector has also garnered criticism.

However, the officer noted, the prospect of mass resignations is unlikely to actually occur. Resignations must be approved by higher-ups within the police’s central command, and considering current shortages, these requests will likely be rejected.

While police employees can theoretically leave the force whenever they wish, those seeking early retirement must have their requests approved in order to maintain their pensions and other benefits.

Criticism of Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai and Ben-Gvir has escalated against the backdrop of a spike in murders, but the officer noted that simply adding more police officers to patrol the streets would have little effect on the phenomenon.

The officer told Kan that even if manpower is increased to make arrests, the departments responsible for functions such as investigating and collecting and organizing evidence for criminal trials will remain cripplingly understaffed.

So far in 2023, over 100 members of Israel’s Arab community have been murdered. The police have arrested just 10 alleged perpetrators.

Ben-Gvir is currently battling left-wing NGOs and activists in an ongoing case in the Supreme Court, over the issue of whether his ministry has the authority to make changes to police operational policies and procedures.

Raquelle Casillas, 44, was arrested early in the morning of June 6 for the death of a 44-year-old woman from Almont, Michigan. As reports suggest, the two were embroiled in a rivalry for the affection of the same man. Just before 4 a.m., police responded to an assault report that a caller relayed to the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office.

When authorities arrived at the specified location in the Village of Capac, approximately 50 miles north of Detroit, they found the male caller, Raquelle Casillas, and the victim unconscious and suffering from severe head trauma. The woman was rushed to McLaren Lapeer Hospital and declared dead two days later.

Casillas was taken to the St. Clair County Detention and Intervention Center, charged with open murder, and is due back in court on June 20. The slain woman’s father told the Daily Mail that a pattern of heavy drinking was common for the two women. He went on to say that this binge drinking had started before the two were involved with the same man and probably contributed to what happened.

Apparently, the woman had been fighting on and off for days. On Facebook, a picture of the two women smiling faces bruised and battered, was posted with the caption “Best friends.” When asked about the injuries, Casillas admitted to the commenter, “We were fighting.” She added, “I took her boyfriend.”

The manslaughter of an innocent woman due to a heated love triangle has left the attendees of the court case in shock, with the heaviest burden of consequences falling upon Raquelle Casillas. Justice will soon be served for the victim of this deadly rivalry.

Dale Wheatley, an employee of the Anatomical Gift Association of Illinois (AGA), recently came forward to voice his worries regarding how donated human remains are being handled for medical research. Wheatley, who works at the AGA’s “rack room” and drives a delivery van for body parts, raised his concerns on May 24th and the very next day found three severed heads left near his work area.

The AGA’s Executive Vice President William O’Connor rejects Wheatley’s claims, stating that his job is to manage these body parts and that his current accusations are inappropriate. However, Wheatley has stated that some of the hospitals and schools that were sent donated bodies have sent them back because they are not in suitable conditions. He alleges that these bodies had mold, rot, and insect infestations.

In response to the situation, Wheatley decided to file a police report and contacted both local and state authorities. He has enlisted the help of employment lawyer David Fish, whose goal is to help the AGA address these allegations without the need for legal action. Wheatley has expressed his desire for families of those who donate their bodies to be aware of the current conditions at the AGA and hopes to keep his job safe after speaking out.

The AGA claims that it practices integrity and respects the bodies of those who donate them, but Wheatley does not believe this is true. As it stands, those donations are embalmed, distributed to research institutions, and then returned to their families after cremation. It is vital that the AGA is held accountable for the situation and that families are aware of the poor conditions of donated remains.

On Saturday, airborne drama greeted a Delta Air Lines flight from JFK in New York to Los Angeles. After a malfunctioning temperature instrument caused technical difficulties requiring an unscheduled landing in Salt Lake City, Utah, shock greeted the 168 passengers and crew when an onboard air slide hit an unnamed crew member in the head.

The difficulties on board the Boeing 767-300 began when the pilot declared a malfunctioning temperature instrument—needed for icing conditions—necessitated landing in Utah. All passengers followed orders to disembark, and the instrument was soon fixed.

As travelers re-boarded the aircraft, the shock and dismay were immediate after the air slide, which is used to facilitate emergency evacuations, deployed within the cabin. Hitting a crew member’s head, it was activated by an onboard catering crew. Many passengers deplaned shortly after, visibly shaken and perturbed.

Delta acted swiftly, booking the passengers onto an alternate flight and compensating them with 7,500 miles. A Delta spokesperson apologized for the ensuing delay due to the issue, emphasizing the airline’s commitment to the safety of their passengers and crew.

The incident underscores how seriously Delta takes the safety and comfort of its passengers and staff members. Each detail of their response, from landing the aircraft to making repairs and offering compensation to passengers affected, demonstrates their care for customer service and concern for the welfare of those onboard.

“If the government carries out a hostile takeover of the Judicial Selection Committee, we will paralyze the country.”

By World Israel News Staff

Tens of thousands of people protested in Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities against the government’s judicial reform plans for the 23rd Saturday, ahead of a crucial Knesset vote on the Judicial Selection Committee later this week.

“We face a clear and imminent danger. If the government carries out a hostile takeover of the Judicial Selection Committee, it will be surprised at the magnitude and intensity of the national protests. Only a determined and uncompromising struggle will prevent the government from advancing a dictatorial regime,” protest organizers said in a statement ahead of the nationwide rallies.

“It is clear to all that the government is headed toward a regime change that will destroy the army, the economy and our society. Against this plot, hundreds of thousands will again rise up this week to protest with all their might against the destruction of the State of Israel,” they said.

Negotiations over the judicial reform plans are at an impasse until a Knesset vote on Wednesday to choose two members of parliament to serve on the Judicial Selection Committee.

Opposition members said the freeze was to ensure that they can secure one of the two slots reserved for Knesset members.

Protest organizers said that if the two slots go to members of the coalition, they would “paralyze the country”.

Meanwhile, the main demonstration at Kaplan Junction in Tel Aviv opened with a minute’s silence in memory of the victims of crime in Arab society. As of Saturday, 101 Arab Israelis have been killed.

Demonstrators hoisted a 200 square meter sign that said: Type of citizen: Dead.

Former prime minister Ehud Barak told the Haifa demonstrators: “We will win because we have no other country and we have no other way, we are determined and we will save democracy. We are members of all shades in Israeli society: Arabs, Jews, secular, religious and traditional, we are all one family. The family of the rule of law and democracy. We are in the fight for the soul and future of Israel. It will not be easy or short, but we fight as one family against everything that lies For us, and we will win.”
