Japanese boat crashes into US Navy destroyer in Pacific Fleet’s 5th collision this year
A US Navy destroyer has collided with a Japanese tugboat in Sagami Bay, off the east coast of Japan, making it the fifth such incident involving the Pacific Fleet this year.
An official statement from the US Navy’s 7th Fleet said the tugboat lost its propulsion and drifted into the USS Benfold on Saturday, sustaining minor damage.“No one was injured on either vessel and Benfold sustained minimal damage, including scrapes on its side, pending a full damage assessment,” the statement read. The USS Benfold remains at sea while the Japanese boat was towed to a port in Yokosuka. The Navy said that the incident would be investigated.

Scientists say number of severe quakes is likely to rise strongly next year because of a periodic slowing of the Earth’s rotation.
Scientists have warned there could be a big increase in numbers of devastating earthquakes around the world next year. They believe variations in the speed of Earth’s rotation could trigger intense seismic activity, particularly in heavily populated tropical regions.Although such fluctuations in rotation are small – changing the length of the day by a millisecond – they could still be implicated in the release of vast amounts of underground energy, it is argued.

A Minute To Midnite Show HostNetanyahu reacts to Trump’s rumored peace plan including Palestinian state
Prime Minister tells Cabinet Israel’s attitude towards a peace plan “will be determined according to security and national interests of the State of Israel, and these were made clear to our American friends.”
By: Aryeh Savir and Manny Ben-David, World Israel News
Israel’s attitude towards any peace plan will be determined according to its security and national interests, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated, while adding that “these were made clear to our American friends.”
Speaking at the beginning of the weekly Cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu related to news reports over the weekend that the Trump administration was at its final stages of drafting a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. Israel’s Channel 2 had reported that Trump’s peace plan includes the establishment of a Palestinian state.

A Minute To Midnite Show HostJared Kushner Under Inquiry for Trying to Block 2016 Anti-Israel UN Resolution Not Vetoed by Obama
US Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating Jared Kushner’s contacts with Israeli officials last year over joint efforts to stop the passage of the anti-settlement United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334, ultimately passed when sitting-duck President Barack Obama did not use the US’s veto to halt it.
The notorious anti-Israel resolution slamming Israeli activity in Judea and Samaria came up for a vote in December 2016, after Donald Trump was elected president but before he had taken office. While the US’s standing practice is to support Israel at the UN, outgoing Obama, whose relations with Israel were cool at best, decided to abstain from the vote, allowing it to pass in what many critics saw as a last-minute betrayal of the Jewish State.
The failure was bitter for Israel, which had thrown its diplomatic weight into an attempt to shoot down the resolution. According to media reports, senior officials had contacted members of the Trump transition team, including Trump son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner and senior advisor Stephen Bannon, to enlist the president-elect’s support in efforts to stop the resolution or delay the vote.

The Palestinians followed through with their threat to sever ties with the US after Washington ordered the closure of the PLO mission in the American capital.

Nabil Abu Rudeineh was referring to the Palestinian decision to cut all communications with the US following its decision to close the Palestinian diplomatic mission in Washington, the Palestinian official WAFA news agency reported.
Abu Rudeineh stressed that “the Palestinian decision is going to face challenges but the coming period is critical and an opportunity to correct Palestinian-American relations.”

A lake-effect snowband dumped over 4 feet of snow in Erie, Pennsylvania, in just over one day’s time. This shattered the city’s calendar-day snowfall record, on Christmas Day. Continuing into Tuesday, this also clobbered the previous state record two-day snowfall as Erie picked up more snow in 30 hours than their previous 13-day snowfall record. Officials declared a snow emergency for the city.
A stationary lake-effect snowband off Lake Erie dumped an incredible 34 inches of snow at Erie Airport on Christmas Day alone, quadrupling their previous record snowiest Christmas Day – 8.1 inches in 2002 – as well as smashing their all-time snowiest single day on record by over a foot – 20 inches on Nov. 11, 1956.
