Syrian forces kill 60
Syrian forces bombarded the city of Homs early on Monday, killing 60
people in a wave of attacks across several districts, An activist said
forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad were using multiple rocket
launchers in the attack. Arab satellite television stations broadcast
live footage from Homs where explosions could be heard and smoke could
be seen rising from some buildings. Activists said more than 200
people were killed on Friday night when tanks and artillery blasted a
neighborhood of Homs, a turbulent city that has become a centre of
resistance to Assad's rule. A top member of the National Syrian
Council said that a top Iranian military official, Kassam Salimani,
commander of the Quds Force, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard special
forces unit is actively aiding the regime and has taken up a spot in
the war room which manages army maneuvers against opposition forces in
suppressing popular unrest throughout the country.

IAF: Iran top concern
The escalating public discourse over the possibility of a strike on
Iran's nuclear facilities has put a magnifying glass on incoming IAF
Chief Major-General Amir Eshel's stance on the issue. In a rare speech
made by Eshel last month at the Jerusalem Center for Public affairs,
Eshel stressed that while the decision to launch an airstrike on the
Islamic Republic is left up to the political echelon, Iran is Israel's
primary concern. Eshel raised the concern that a nuclear Iran could
embolden terror groups that operate with the Islamic Republic's
backing, including Hamas and Hezbollah -- a development that would
restrict the IDF in Gaza and Lebanon.

announcement on Monday that Abbas will head a Fatah-Hamas unity
caretaker cabinet, in a move that could pave reconciliation between
the rival factions. Meshal said that Palestinians wanted to accomplish
unity and move forward in order to resist the enemy and achieve their
common goal. Abbas, promised that this effort would be implemented in
the shortest time possible. A Palestinian source indicated that both
parties were considering the option of naming Palestinian Prime
Minister Salam Fayyad and Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh as
Abbas' deputies.

Israel recruiting gay envoys
Israel is recruiting gays and lesbians as unofficial envoys. In a bid
to boost its international image, the country's Ministry of Public
Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs has established a framework of diverse
volunteers who speak about Israel around the world. The ministry is
encouraging minorities and members of the gay community to step
forward. Ministry spokesman Gal Ilan said the goal was to highlight
Israel's diversity. Israel has recently been promoting itself as a gay
friendly oasis in an intolerant Middle East.

World leaders' chefs cook for peace
220 wealthy people from Israel and abroad were lucky enough to have
five leading professional cooks of world leaders cook for them. The
event was planned by Chef Shalom Kadosh, with the aim of preparing a
gourmet meal at a Peres Center for Peace fundraiser for activities
that would help bring Israeli and Palestinian children closer
together. This fabulous quintet, along with Kadosh, gathered Wednesday
at the Herods Hotel in Tel Aviv. Each chef was asked to cook his
special dish kosher. The first course was prepared by US President
Barack Obama's chef, the second course by Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev's chef the third course by head chef of Prince Albert of
Monaco. The fourth course, Chef Shalom Kadosh himself and the fifth
course was made by French President Nicolas Sarkozy's chef. Dessert
was prepared by German Chancellor Angela Merkel's chef.
