In February, two versions of the foreign agents bill were registered in the Georgian parliament - the Georgian version and the US version, which is in effect a translation of the US law on the registration of foreign agents. According to the Georgian version, mass media outlets can also be classified as foreign agents. The initiative does not apply to individuals. The US version is applicable not only to legal entities, but also to individuals and establishes criminal punishment. The Georgian parliament has already sent the Georgian version to the Venice Commission for examination.

Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Saturday that his comments earlier this week to "wipe out" the Palestinian town of Huwara was a "slip of the tongue," according to media reports, says Anadolu Agency.

The Times of Israel newspaper reported that Smotrich told local media that his "word choice was wrong, but the intention was very clear."

"It was a slip of the tongue in a storm of emotions," he said.

Earlier this week, the US slammed Smotrich's remarks, saying it was "irresponsible", "repugnant" and "disgusting."

"Just as we condemn Palestinian incitement to violence, we condemn these provocative remarks that also amount to incitement to violence," State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters.

He urged Prime Minister Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials to "publicly and clearly reject and disavow these comments."​​​​​​​

Smotrich said Huwara should be "wiped out" by the Israeli government after recent violence in occupied West Bank villages following the killing of two Israeli brothers.

At least 35 people have been detained after demonstrators allegedly set fire to the construction site of an Atlanta public safety training facility anti-police and environment activists dubbed "Cop City."

A group of "agitators" left the nearby South River Music Festival around 5:30 p.m. and descended on the construction site of the proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center "to conduct a coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers," the Atlanta Police Department said in a statement.

Authorities noted how the group changed into black clothing and allegedly began to throw commercial-grade fireworks, Molotov cocktails, large rocks and bricks at police officers.

Though demonstrations at the 85-acre property in DeKalb County secured for a $90 million police and fire training facility have been ongoing, Atlanta Chief of Police Darin Schierbaum said Sunday's incident marked a "significant escalation" both in the level of violence and the number of individuals involved in the attack.

"This wasn't about a public safety training center. This was about anarchy, and this was about an attempt to destabilize. And we are addressing that quickly," Schierbaum told reporters. "Actions such as this will not be tolerated. You attack law enforcement officers, you damage equipment, you are breaking the law. This was a very violent attack that occurred this evening."

The FBI and Georgia Bureau of Investigation have joined the probe, he said.

"Some of those arrested yesterday were from Massachusetts and New York and France and Canada. So this is a national network, an international group of people that are organized to come to our state to undermine a public safety training center," Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said in an appearance on Fox News Monday morning.

Atlanta police said at least 35 people had been detained as of Sunday night. As of Monday morning, no charging decisions have been announced, but Schierbaum said Sunday night law enforcement were consulting with both DeKalb County prosecutors and the Georgia Attorney General's Office.

"I can tell you by just looking at the initial reports, we continue to see a number of individuals not from Atlanta, Georgia, that are present tonight undertaking criminal activities to destabilize the construction of a police fire and training center," Schierbaum said Sunday night.

"This is not a protest," the chief added. "I made a clear distinction of what a protest looks like. When it is a legitimate protest, you have the full protection of the Atlanta Police Department. This is not a protest. This is criminal activity. And the charges that will be brought forth will show that."

Before Sunday, at least 19 people had been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism since December in connection to demonstrations at the "Cop City" site. Six of the 19 arrests came out of a violent riot in downtown Atlanta on Jan. 21 that was sparked by the deadly shooting of 26-year-old environmental activist Manuel Esteban Paez Teran by Georgia State Patrol.

State patrol had responded to the construction site to clear out demonstrators. Authorities said Teran, who reportedly went by the name Tortuguita and identified as non-binary, shot a trooper in the abdomen before law enforcement officials returned fire and killed Teran.

Dekalb County jail records show that at least 23 people were arrested on suspicion of domestic terrorism. Atlanta Police confirmed they were charged. Nearly all of them are from out-of-state and have white-collar backgrounds. Two of the terror suspects come from outside the US.

Thomas Webb Jurgens, 28, is the only suspect with a registered address in the Atlanta area. He is an attorney for the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC is a left-wing nonprofit that says it monitors extremism in the US. It has been marred in its own controversies where former staff accused the organization of systemic racism and sexism. In 2012, a leftist gunman later convicted of terrorism and other violent felony offenses over a shooting at a Christian lobbying group in Washington, D.C., told investigators he used the SPLC website to pick his kill target.

SPLC spokesperson, Michael Edison Hayden, did not respond to an inquiry about if the SPLC condones political violence, and sent The Post Millenial a link to a prepared joint statement with far-left legal group National Lawyers Guild, who claims Jurgens as a member. Hayden and the SPLC's staff frequently communicate in a chummy manner with Antifa accounts on Twitter. The SPLC and NLG statements express support for Jurgens and the cause of the violent "Stop Cop City" movement. Hayden also took to Twitter to repeat a chant used by the militants during their march to the ambush attack.

Frédérique Robert-Paul, 34, is a radical anarchist from Saint-Pascal, Quebec, Canada with a graduate sociology background at Concordia University in Montreal.

25-year-old suspect Dimitri Leny is from France.

James "Jamie" Marsicana, 30, of Charlotte, NC, is a trans activist and member of the National Lawyers Guild, a far-left legal group that provides free legal aid to far-left violent extremists. Some of them in their green hat uniforms were captured on security cameras moving in and out with the violent mob. Marsicana is studying at the University of North Carolina School of Law and comes from a multi-millionaire family. She is the son of Michael Marsicana, the president and CEO of Foundation for the Carolinas, a community foundation with nearly $4 billion in assets. Axios dubbed him one of Charlotte's "most powerful" people.

Marsicana was profiled for radical leftist website The Funambulist. "She/they was a core organizer during the Charlotte Uprising where she led direct action trainings, established a legal infrastructure so freedom fighters could get out of jail and obtain legal aid," the biography reads. Marsicana was arrested in June 2020 at a direct action.

Priscilla Grim, 48, of Brooklyn, N.Y., has a long history of far-left activism. She was an organizer in the Occupy movement, advocated for the disruption of the 2017 inauguration of Donald Trump and now identifies as Antifa on her social media.

Victor Puertas, 46, of Provo, Utah, has a post on his Facebook from 2015 where he captions a photo of himself with the Antifa slogan: "Sometimes anti-social always anti-fascist!" A few days before his arrest, he posted a schedule of events in Atlanta to "stop cop city."

Emma Bogush, of Bethany, Conn., uses the alias "Bo." She is an "environmental educator" at the New Haven Ecology Project. Her father Paul Bogush reached out to a far-left group on Twitter to ask for updates about his child's arrest. On prior posts, he boasted about her radicalism.

Sunday's violent direct action was announced the month prior on the Twitter account of the "@defendATLforest" account, which has become a de facto official PR account for the movement. The group puts out statements, event plans and ways to donate money to arrested comrades. As the arrests were happening in real-time, the Twitter account of the Atlanta cell of Antifa ("@afainatl") put out a call for donations.
