Romania PM may fire justice minister over graft decree
AP Photo/Darko Bandic
Protesters blow horns during a protest in Bucharest, Romania,
Monday. The leader of Romania’s ruling center-left coalition said
the government won’t resign following the biggest demonstra-
tions since the end of communism against a measure that would
ease up on corruption.
Anti-government
protester
Sebastian Moruga, a Bucharest
resident who worked in England for
12 years, said he wanted change.
Israel passes law legalizing
thousands of settlement homes
JERUSALEM
(AP)
— Israel’s parliament on
Monday passed a conten-
tious law meant to retroac-
tively legalize thousands of
West Bank settlement homes
built unlawfully on private
Palestinian land, a step
that is expected to trigger
international outrage and a
flurry of lawsuits against the
measure.
The explosive law is the
latest in a series of pro-settler
steps taken by Israel’s hard-
line government since the
election of Donald Trump as
U.S. president. He is seen as
more sympathetic to Israel’s
settlement policies than his
fiercely critical predecessor,
and the Israeli government
has approved plans to build
thousands of new homes
on occupied territory since
Trump took office.
“We are voting tonight
on our right to the land,”
Cabinet minister Ofir Akunis
said during a stormy debate
ahead of the vote. “We
are voting tonight on the
connection between the
Jewish people and its land.
This whole land is ours. All
of it.”
Critics say the legislation
enshrines into law the theft
of Palestinian land, and it is
expected to be challenged
in Israel’s Supreme Court.
According to the law, Pales-
tinian landowners would
be compensated either with
money or alternative land,
even if they did not agree to
give up their property.
The vote passed 60-52 in
Israel’s 120-member Knesset
following a raucous debate in
which opposition lawmakers
shouted from their seats
at
governing
coalition
lawmakers speaking in favor
of the vote from the dais.
Some legislators supportive
of the law took pictures of
the plenum during the vote
while some spectators in
visitors’ seats raised black
cloth in apparent protest.
Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu had
voiced misgivings about
the law in the lead-up to
vote, reportedly expressing
concern that it could lead
to international censure and
saying he wanted to coordi-
nate with the Trump admin-
istration before moving
ahead on a vote.

that were the largest Romania has
seen since communism was over-
thrown in 1989.
The ordinance would have
decriminalized abuse in office by
officials if the amount involved was
less than about $48,500. It plans to
introduce another version of the
law in Parliament, where it has a
majority.
However, in a sign of second
thoughts, Iordache, the justice
minister, later said in a statement he
was “not preoccupied” with drawing
up a draft law.
“Currently, the justice minister is
focusing on the decisions published
by the Constitutional Court...which
will be analyzed in the near future,”
the statement said.
The Constitutional Court is
expected to rule on the constitution-
ality of the decriminalizing proposal
later this week.
Dragnea, the major power broker
in the government, is banned from
being prime minister because of
conviction in April 2016 for vote
rigging.

which together account
for up to 80 percent of its
income. The U.N. Mission
in Iraq estimates that IS
earned approximately $260
million from oil sales last
year, mainly from oil fields
in Syria’s Deir el-Zour prov-
ince, Guterres said. That is
about half the 2015 estimate
of up to $500 million, he said.
Looking at Europe,
Guterres said member states
currently assess “that the
threat of large-scale attacks
remains.” One unidentified
country noted that not all IS
operatives sent to Europe to
carry out last year’s attacks
in Paris and Brussels have
been identified and arrested,
he said.
In Libya, a military
offensive routed IS from
the city of Sirte, one of its
most important strongholds
outside Iraq and Syria, which
reduced the group’s resources
and “operational space,”
Guterres said. But IS fighters
have moved to other parts of
Libya, and their numbers are
estimated by member states
as ranging between several
hundred to as many as 3,000.
IS has also increased
its presence in West Africa
and the Sahel, Guterres
said, citing recent IS-related
attacks in Niger and Burkina
Faso.
The Security Council
in December called on all
193 U.N. member states
to consider establishing
laws and “mechanisms” to
address “the gravity of the
threat” posted by IS and to
work on sharing intelligence,
biometric and biographical
data and financial informa-
tion in coordinating a “robust
response.”
Guterres, a former U.N.
refugee chief, also stressed
that “the vast majority of
refugees, both in Europe and
globally, have no connection
to terrorism and have fled
their states of origin to escape
persecution.”

UNITED

(AP) — The Islamic State
extremist group is militarily
on the defensive in Afghan-
istan, Iraq, Libya and Syria
but is partially adapting by
moving to covert communi-
cations and recruitment and
expanding its areas of attack
away from conflict areas,
U.N.
Secretary-General
Antonio Guterres said in a
new report.
The threat of attacks on
airports and aircraft “remains
high,” he said. The militant
group, also known as IS and
ISIL, continues to encourage
its supporters outside conflict
zones to perpetrate attacks
“using links to existing local
cells,” he added.
The report to the U.N.
Security Council, which
was circulated Monday, said
member states highlighted
that internal communications
and recruitment by IS “are
increasingly moving towards
more covert methods, such
as the use of the dark web,
encryption and messengers.”
Nonetheless,
Guterres
said, the military campaigns
against IS are having a major
impact. IS has lost “large
numbers of fighters and
territory,” which “together
with the group’s deterio-
rating financial situation
have considerably reduced
its draw for foreign terrorist
fighters,” he said.
Guterres
said
U.N.
member states emphasized
that the flow of would-be
foreign fighters to Iraq and
Syria has also “slowed
considerably”
due
to
increased controls put in
place by various govern-
ments. Recruitment is down
as well and IS fighters are
increasingly leaving the
battlefield, he said.
As for finances, the mili-
tant group is now operating
on a “crisis” budget, Guterres
said, but its revenue streams
remain the same — oil and
gas, extortion and “taxation,”

“It’s not just corruption, it’s bad
public services. It’s the fact that
you can’t take your kid to a hospital
without paying a bribe, you can’t
take them to school without paying
bribe. You can’t have a decent road
outside your house. And of course,
it’s the tremendous wealth of the
politicians,” Moruga said.
On the political front, the prime
minister said, he would not fire the
justice minister “in the next two
days,” noting that the government
could be toppled if a motion of
no-confidence to be debated this
week passes in Parliament.
Social Democratic chairman
Liviu Dragnea earlier said he
supported the government, but by
evening he said he would back the
premier if Grindeanu decides to sack
the justice minister.
There were signs Monday that
the government may not push ahead
immediately with the measure to ease
anti-corruption laws. Mass demon-
strations have been held in Bucharest
and other cities since the ordinance
was introduced on Tuesday and
approved early Wednesday.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP)
— Romania’s prime minister said
Monday he may fire the justice
minister for mishandling a conten-
tious decree that has sparked the
country’s largest anti-government
protests since communism ended.
Premier Sorin Grindeanu said the
emergency decree to decriminalize
some official misconduct approved
by his cabinet last week had “led to
division” among Romanians. Grin-
deanu suggested Justice Minister
Florin Iordache may lose his job over
the move within days.
Although
the
government
repealed the measure Sunday, the
unrest its move sparked continued
Monday. Thousands of people gath-
ered outside the government offices
for the seventh consecutive evening,
yelling “Resignation!” and waving
Romanian flags.
Elsewhere, hundreds of govern-
ment supporters gathering outside
the presidential palace in the Roma-
nian capital blaming President Klaus
Iohannis for the crisis. The president
has strongly opposed the ordinance.
