  • Towards a Middle East at Peace: Hidden Issues in Arab–Israeli Hydropolitics
    Water Resources Development, Vol. 20, No. 2, 193–204, June 2004 Towards a Middle East at Peace: Hidden Issues in Arab–Israeli Hydropolitics ARNON MEDZINI* & AARON T. WOLF** *Department of Geography, Oranim School of Education, Tivon, Israel **Department of Geosciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR, USA ABSTRACT When peace negotiations do one day resume between Israelis and Arabs, shared water resources will again take centre stage, acting both as an irritant between the parties, and as a tremendous inducement to reach agreement. The ‘hidden’ hydropo- litical issues that will need to be resolved between Israel, Lebanon and Syria in the course of eventual boundary talks are considered. Two of these issues, the village of Ghajar and its relation to the Wazani Springs, and the possibility of groundwater flow from the Litani to the Jordan headwaters, change the fundamental understanding of the relation- ship between hydrologic and political claims, and could threaten the entire approach to water negotiations both between Israel and Syria and between Israel and Lebanon. Fortunately, other agreements within the basin can inform the path solutions here might take. The most critical step towards conflict resolution is separating the concepts of territorial sovereignty from water security. This can be done most effectively by offering joint management, monitoring and enforcement strategies, as well as encouraging greater transparency in water data across boundaries. Introduction Despite the current deadly, and apparently intractable, conflict between Israelis and Arabs, history suggests that peace negotiations will one day resume. When they do, shared water resources will again take centre stage, acting both as an irritant between the parties, and as a tremendous inducement to reach agree- ment.

Klein1 Hearing on: A NEW HORIZON IN U.S.-ISRAEL RELATIONS: FROM AN AMERICAN EMBASSY IN JERUSALEM TO POTENTIAL RECOGNITION OF ISRAELI SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE GOLAN HEIGHTS Before the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security Tuesday July 17, 2018, 10:00 a.m. Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2154 Chairman Ron DeSantis (R-FL) Ranking Member Stephen Lynch (D-MA) Introduction & Summary Chairman DeSantis, Vice Chairman Russell, Ranking Member Lynch, and Members of the Committee: Thank you for holding this hearing to discuss the potential for American recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, in furtherance of U.S. national security interests. Israeli sovereignty over the western two-thirds of the Golan Heights is a key bulwark against radical regimes and affiliates that threaten the security and stability of the United States, Israel, the entire Middle East region, and beyond. The Golan Heights consists of strategically-located high ground, that provides Israel with an irreplaceable ability to monitor and take counter-measures against growing threats at and near the Syrian-Israel border. These growing threats include the extremely dangerous hegemonic expansion of the Iranian-Syrian-North Korean axis; and the presence in Syria, close to the Israeli border, of: Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Quds forces; thousands of Iranian-armed Hezbollah fighters; Palestinian Islamic Jihad (another Iranian proxy); Syrian forces; and radical Sunni Islamist groups including the al Nusra Levantine Conquest Front (an incarnation of al Qaeda) and ISIS. The Iranian regime is attempting to build an 800-mile land bridge to the Mediterranean, running through Iraq and Syria.

  • Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy 2015-2016
    EEXXTTRRAAOORRDDIINNAARRYY JJUUBBIILLEEEE ooff MMEERRCCYY The Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy 2015-2016 Pope Francis, who is moved by the human, social and cultural issues of our times, wished to give the City of Rome and the Universal Church a special and extraordinary Holy Year of Grace, Mercy and Peace. The “Misericordiae VulTus” Bull of indicTion The Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, which continues to be the programmatic outline for the pontificate of Pope Francis, offers a meaningful expression of the very essence of the Extraordinary Jubilee which was announced on 11 April 2015: “The Church has an endless desire to show mercy, the fruit of its own experience of the power of the Father’s infinite mercy” (EG 24). It is with this desire in mind that we should re-read the Bull of Indiction of the Jubilee, Misericordiae Vultus, in which Pope Fran- cis details the aims of the Holy Year. As we know, the two dates already marked out are 8 December 2015, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, the day of the opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, and 20 November 2016, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, which will conclude the Holy Year. Between these two dates a calendar of celebrations will see many different events take place. The Pope wants this Jubilee to be experienced in Rome as well as in local Churches; this brings partic- ular attention to the life of the individual Churches and their needs, so that initiatives are not just additions to the calendar but rather complementary.

Indicators such as level of education or number of household members appear to be geographically Mapping concentrated and sensitive to the distance from the city centre. The hypothesis that socio-spatial inequalities Periphery strongly influence economic performance and foster political instability has been subject to numerous empirical Rome investigations. Nevertheless, studies of specific urban contexts are not common. The absence of empirical ap- plications at this scale is probably due to the fact that variables used for analysing the economic and social performance of regions are difficult to quantify or inapplicable at the micro level. The purpose of this paperisto examine the spatial distribution of socioeconomic inequalities in the municipal territory of Rome and to explore the conditions that account for them. We will analyse the spatial distribution of urban quality indicators and socio-economic profiles with data from different sources, aggregated at the neighbourhood level. 1.

  • 3 Architects, Antiquarians, and the Rise of the Image in Renaissance Guidebooks to Ancient Rome
    Anna Bortolozzi 3 Architects, Antiquarians, and the Rise of the Image in Renaissance Guidebooks to Ancient Rome Rome fut tout le monde, & tout le monde est Rome1 Drawing in the past, drawing in the present: Two attitudes towards the study of Roman antiquity In the early 1530s, the Sienese architect Baldassare Peruzzi drew a section along the principal axis of the Pantheon on a sheet now preserved in the municipal library in Ferrara (Fig. 3.1).2 In the sixteenth century, the Pantheon was generally considered the most notable example of ancient architecture in Rome, and the drawing is among the finest of Peruzzi’s surviving architectural drawings after the antique. The section is shown in orthogonal projection, complemented by detailed mea- surements in Florentine braccia, subdivided into minuti, and by a number of expla- natory notes on the construction elements and building materials. By choosing this particular drawing convention, Peruzzi avoided the use of foreshortening and per- spective, allowing measurements to be taken from the drawing. Though no scale is indicated, the representation of the building and its main elements are perfectly to scale. Peruzzi’s analytical representation of the Pantheon served as the model for several later authors – Serlio’s illustrations of the section of the portico (Fig. 3.2)3 and the roof girders (Fig. 3.3) in his Il Terzo Libro (1540) were very probably derived from the Ferrara drawing.4 In an article from 1966, Howard Burns analysed Peruzzi’s drawing in detail, and suggested that the architect and antiquarian Pirro Ligorio took the sheet to Ferrara in 1569.

  • Rome in the First Century, and Later Between September 2Nd and 9Th a Newman Pilgrimage Toured Rome by Barry Riley
    Rome in the First Century, and later Between September 2nd and 9th a Newman Pilgrimage toured Rome By Barry Riley Newman pilgrimages have visited Rome several times before but this time we proved deeper. We ventured into the depths of the cellars beneath Roman villas, into the lowest levels of Emperor Nero’s palace and into Jewish catacombs which few have entered for the past 1,600 years. We also descended to the level of gloomy basements where in the First Century Roman soldiers once worshipped Mithras, a God who came to earth to slay a bull. The group of some 25 pilgrims also, however, visited some more conventional attractions. Our chaplain, Mgr Patrick Kilgarriff, said Mass for us in the Crypt of St Perter’s (actually in the Irish Chapel there) and afterwards we had a guided tour of the basilica, with indications of where a number of Popes were buried. Interesting facts were pointed out to us, such as that almost all the pictures in St Peter’s are mosaics rather than paintings. Later in the week we returned to the Vatican for the evening opening of the Museum. This gave us the chance to visit the Sistine Chapel and there the tired Newman pilgrims sank gratefully on to the benches at the sides. Sitting, it was much easier to gaze up at the magnificent ceiling. All around hundreds of other visitors milled about, occasionally warned by guards to keep silent and not to use cameras. Jewish history in Rome A main theme of the pilgrimage was the early history of the Jews in Rome.

    FERNANDO BILANCIA Il palazzo della famiglia Aquilani di Roma a piazza di Ara Coeli Il palazzo che fu degli Aquilani, sinora mai studiato benché centralis- simo, sorge a Roma a piazza d’Ara Coeli 61. Gli Aquilani di Roma appartenevano ad una nobile famiglia pisana che ebbe fra i suoi componenti diversi cavalieri dell’ordine di S. Stefano2; alcuni suoi membri si trasferirono nella capitale dello Stato Pontificio nel secolo XVI, ove ricoprirono importanti cariche pubbliche. La testimonianza più antica della presenza a Roma di un componente della famiglia si fa risalire al 1539 ed è fornita dall’iscrizione posta su una lapide incisa nel 1736 nel pavimento della chiesa di S. Maria in Vallicella: in essa, al di sotto dello stemma di famiglia quasi completamente abraso (tav. XXVII), Ludovico Aquilani3 riferisce che nel 1539 il suo antenato Ludo- vico senior, quando era ancora in vita, eresse nella chiesa un monumento funebre a sè ed ai suoi discendenti4. Ma il confronto con tutte le altre noti- zie reperite, riguardanti la vita di Ludovico senior Aquilani (in particolare la data della sua morte avvenuta nel 1594) rende piuttosto improbabile che 1 C.
