Surrey Police Board on ice Thursday, in the latest move to force the city to complete its transition to a municipal police force.Mike Farnworth announced that he had suspended all of the board’s members, and that former Abbotsford police chief Mike Serr has been appointed as administrator to fulfil their functions on the Surrey Police Board.In October, Farnworth introduced legislation to force the city to complete its transition from the RCMP to the Surrey Police Service (SPS), which included provincial powers to appoint an administrator to replace board members and act in their stead.Farnworth said the move was necessary due to the lack of progress from the city in moving the police transition forward.The action also results from the need to address budgeting for the current and coming fiscal years, he said.“The best way to do that is to put in place an administrator, suspend the board, and that’s why it is being done,” Farnworth said.“This is not a reflection on the board members who I think have worked incredibly hard and done outstanding work.”Farnworth said he had spoken to the board about the decision, along with Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke — with whom he had a “cordial” conversation.“It’s no secret that this has been a complex issue, it is the largest policing transition in the history of this province and I think in the country,” he said.“They mayor has her views I think on this transition, and I have made it clear that this transition will continue.”Locke was not available for an interview Thursday, but issued a statement accusing the government of a “provincial police takeover” that eliminated civilian oversight.“In effect, the Minister has removed checks and balances,” Locke wrote.“Not only is the Province

Israel's invasion of Gaza has destroyed decades of work to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and has set «the whole region on fire,» Jordan's foreign minister told CNN on Thursday. «Israel is not producing security for itself by the killing of innocent Palestinians,» Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said, adding, «It's putting the whole region on fire again, and it has destroyed the hard work that many had made over the decades to make sure that we come to a peaceful conclusion to this conflict.» Israel had «killed any embrace of peace in the region» and its war against Hamas had pushed regional relations back more than 30 years, Safadi also said, according to CNN. The Jordanian government had been discussing with Israel about exchanging solar power for energy but these discussions have now stopped because people «don't see any value» in dealing with Israel as its ground offensive in Gaza continues, Safadi said. He said he thought the evidence Israel had shared to back its claim that Hamas had a «command node» under the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City was «just ridiculous» and an «insult to intelligence.» He was also opposed to Israel's claim that its military operations in Gaza were self-defence. «Any other country in the world that would have done a fragment of what Israel is doing would have been under sanctions by now,» Safadi said, adding, «This is not self-defence.
