Obama wants to stop subsidizing Israel's defence industry
US President Barack Obama
New York - Arab Today
US President Barack Obama is now looking to end this US subsidy of Israel's defense sector, according to US and Israeli officials, according to Bloomborg.
They say the "offshore procurement" provision, unique to Israel's aid package, is one of the last obstacles to completing an agreement to extend aid until 2029.
Obama would like to phase out the agreement that allows Israel to spend 26 percent of US annual aid at home. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, so far, disagrees.
Obama and his supporters like to tout US military aid to Israel as an act of the president's unprecedented generosity. The US has given Israel nearly $24 billion under Obama, more than any other US president.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
