Poland’s future minister for European affairs said his government will not accept EU-mandate quotas for refugees following the terrorist attacks in France.
Konrad Szymanski, who will take the office on Monday as part of the country’s new conservative government, said his cabinet didn’t agree with their predecessors’ commitment to take a share in the refugee burden.
Now, “in the face of the tragic acts in Paris, we do not see the political possibilities to implement” the plan, he told the right-leaning news portal wPolityce.pl.

Israeli regime forces have razed two houses belonging to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank amid weeks of unrest in the West Bank.
The Israeli regime announced the destructions, which occurred late Friday night, in a statement.
It claimed that one of the houses in the northern West Bank city of Nablus belonged to three Palestinians who allegedly killed an Israeli settler couple early last month.
The Israeli statement added that another home it destroyed in Silwad, to the northeast of Ramallah, belonged to a Palestinian accused of killing an Israeli back in June.
The demolition of the Palestinian houses triggered more clashes between Israeli military forces and Palestinian protesters. Nine demonstrators suffered injuries, according to local medical sources.

A pro-Palestinian Scottish lawmaker travelling to the occupied Palestinian territories on a parliamentary fact-finding mission has been strip-searched by Israeli forces upon arrival and refused entry.
Andrew Murray, the head of the Friends of Palestine group in the Scottish National Party (SNP), was detained at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport on Monday and held in custody for over 24 hours, he told AFP on Friday.
“They strip-searched me, scanned me, swabbed me everywhere,” Murray said, adding, “Twice I asked for representation from the British embassy, twice I was told no.”
He was later deported and banned from entering the occupied territories for 10 years, apparently over his campaign for Palestinian rights.
Carol Monaghan, a member of the SNP, said that she “absolutely condemned” the Israelis’ behavior, adding, “Andy was there on a peaceful, fact-finding trip.”
Sabine Haddad, a spokesperson for Israel’s interior ministry, claimed that Murray lied about the reason of his trip by saying he was a tourist.
Murray, however, responded that he did not lie about any of the questions asked.

A series of apparently coordinated attacks have rocked central Paris, resulting in at least 150 deaths. Aside from several separate shootings, police also confirmed explosions near a Paris stadium, and a now resolved hostage situation.
At least six separate violent incidents have taken place in Paris on Friday night, including several shootings and explosions. The death toll could be in excess of 150 people, according to latest reports.
Gunfire near a restaurant, not far from Bichat street, killed at least 14 and injured almost two dozen people, according to Le Parisien.
The attack happened at the restaurant’s terrace, according to witnesses who said numerous shots were fired and described the scene as a “nightmare.”
Over 100 people are believed to have been killed when a group of at least four terrorists raided the Bataclan theater on 50 Boulevard Voltaire in the 11th department of Paris. The attackers took scores of people hostage.

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks in Paris. The terrorist group released a video threatening more assaults if the country continues to bomb its positions.
The video emerges just hours after gunmen and bombers killed more than 120 people in the French capital.
A bearded militant in the video says that while the allied forces continue bombing IS positions, they will never be safe.
The video is undated and was released on Saturday via Islamic State’s foreign media arm, the Al-Hayat Media Center.
Islamic State terrorists are also urging Muslims who can’t travel to Syria to conduct deadly attacks in France.
The militants are calling on the Muslim population in the country to fight the “infidels” adding there are arms and “poison” available, and targets terrorists should hit.

A huge fire has broken out at the vast ‘Jungle’ refugee camp near the French port of Calais, just hours after a string of bloody attacks struck Paris, leaving over 100 dead. The Calais deputy mayor told RT that the authorities are trying to tackle the blaze.
It is unclear if there were any casualties following the fire.
“We don’t know yet, because the rescue services are unable to get into the places, because of the intensity of the fire. And because of the wind and bottles of gas it is still quite dangerous,” Mignonet said, as he referred to any possible victims.
There had been immediate speculation that the camp was set on fire in retaliation for the Paris attacks, which left over a hundred dead. However, Mignonet refuted these allegations.
“That is two separate things, and the fire there has nothing to do with the attacks in Paris tonight,” he told RT.

The Jewish Agency announces the Prime Minister’s Office is to match JAFI funding for Liberal Jewish streams’ institutions and programs in Israel, to the tune of $2.7 million
November 12, 2015, 5:47 pm
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s November 10 announcement at the Jewish Federations of North America’s General Assembly about a joint Israeli governmental/Jewish Agency program that is investing “in strengthening Reform and Conservative communities within Israel” has left many in the Jewish World scratching their heads.
Was his statement elaborating on a roundtable announced in July, after Religious Affairs Minister David Azoulay’s controversial remarks about the status of Reform Jews? Then, it was reported that the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem had convened a roundtable of representatives from Jewish religious movements and government ministries to address the concerns of the Reform, Conservative and Modern Orthodox movements in Israel.
That squares with Netanyahu’s remarks at the GA: “As a testament to my commitment to this principle [of inclusion], I have established a roundtable, headed by my cabinet secretary, to address the concerns of the different streams of Judaism in Israel. That’s significant. That’s a governmental decision.”
Chairing the roundtable, which, according to a JAFI spokesman, has as yet convened only informally, is JAFI head Natan Sharansky and Cabinet Secretary Avichai Mandelblit. It is meant to be a forum for inter-religious dialogue among the Israeli representatives of the denominations and their institutions in Israel to address issues of institutional funding and bureaucratic bottlenecks.
