An-Najah News - The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova said in a statement “We see this as another manifestation of the United States' blatantly disdainful attitude to the globally recognized international legal principles of the Mideastern settlement,” over US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's recent visit to the Golan Heights.

she considered his visit as further evidence of Washington's lack of respect for international law.
 “The US administration's attempts to give legitimacy to the illegal Israeli settlements contradicts the United Nations Charter and the UN Security Council's resolutions Zakharova added.

“Russia sees the Golan Heights as territory occupied by Israel, and considers the Israeli settlements there to be constructed illegally,” she reaffirmed. 

An-Najah News - Democrat elected president Joe Biden said that he would personally take a coronavirus vaccine if Dr. Anthony Fauci and its makers told him it was safe.
 Pfizer announced a “90 percent effective” jab last week, followed by Moderna’s announcement earlier on Monday of a “94.5 percent” effective vaccine. 

Biden said on Monday in Wilmington, Delaware, addressing the media who have anointed him, president-elect.  “I wouldn’t hesitate to get the vaccine if, in fact, Dr. Fauci conclude it’s safe,” 

“Look, the only reason people question the vaccine now is because of Donald Trump!” Biden told reporters.

He added, “Because all the things he says or doesn’t say, whether it’s truthful or not truthful the exaggerations".

On Sunday, Fauci told CNN that even with the vaccine, people should “not abandon all public health measures” such as universal masking, social distancing, hand-washing and avoiding crowds, because “you don’t necessarily know, for you, how effective the vaccine is.”
