Palestinian leader talks to leaders from Jordan, Egypt, France and Qatar, asking them to pressure Trump to drop planned recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital; his adviser warns 'the world will pay the price' for any change in Jerusalem's status.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has been working over the weekend to prevent the US from recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Abbas launched a diplomatic campaign, meeting and speaking with leaders from all over the world in an effort to convince them to pressure Washington to drop the move, which US officials said is expected to be announced on Wednesday.
The Palestinian president spoke on the phone to Jordan's King Abdullah II, Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Qatar's Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
Mahmoud Habash, one of Abbas's top advisers, said Saturday if President Trump were to go ahead with the move, it would amount to a "complete destruction of the peace process."
Speaking in Abbas's presence, Habash said "the world will pay the price" for any change in Jerusalem's status.
The Arab League also condemned the move, warning it would fuel extremism and violence.
"Today we say very clearly that taking such action is not justified ... It will not serve peace or stability, but will fuel extremism and resort to violence," Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said in a statement published on the Arab League's website on Saturday.
"It only benefits one side; the Israeli government that is hostile to peace," he added.
An earlier warning came from secretary-general of the PLO Executive Committee and chief negotiator with Israel Saeb Erekat, who said that "Any American recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel will bring about the end of the Jerusalem issue. This issue is weighty and dealing with it is playing with fire."
Hamas, meanwhile, threatened to "restart the Jerusalem intifada," saying "This decision would represent a US assault on the city and give legitimacy to (Israel) over the city."
Ok, tough guy.
When oh when will Mossad (or cia now that we’ve finally gotten rid of the islamonazi mole in our White House) finally send this Fukkin mass-murdering Muslim terrorist gangster abbas POS and his plo pa Fatah fakeistwnis straight to allah in Hell where they belong?!
“The Arab League also condemned the move, warning the Koran would fuel extremism and violence.”
there fixed it.
America’s failure to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital has “enabled” (in all senses) the Palestinians to continue their fight to destroy Israel. As long as the US didn’t recognize the Israeli capital there was hope that the Palestinians would win, drive Israel out of Jerusalem and later the entire Middle East. Yes, there’s a lot of hyperbole there, but that’s how the Palestinians see it.
In order to have peace, one side must lose. If it is the Israelis, they would be wiped out as a nation and a people. If it’s the Palestinians, they will develop a peaceful society and learn to live next door to the Israelis. I prefer that it be the Palestinians. Any other solution would be tragic. The best thing that could possibly happen to the Palestinians is to lose and to understand they have lost so they can learn to live peacefully.
That's the idea. How dare anyone cancel the cycle of violence and corruption aka peace process. It's been quite a cash cow.
Speaking in Abbas's presence, Habash said "the world will pay the price" for any change in Jerusalem's status.
Jerusalem can't be changed because it's like the truth: eternal.
Zechariah 8:3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
Thirty minutes later the IDF begins remanding into custody all members of the Waqf.
Fifteen minutes after the last remaining Waqf member is captured, the Israeli army invades the Temple Mount, bringing it completely under Israeli control.
An hour later during a surprise broadcast from his office, Netanyahu announces that the Temple Mount will henceforth be open to all Jews who wish to pray. That it will no longer be monitored by Muslims enforcing a "no pray" policy upon Jewish visitors.
If Trump and Bibi are gonna go for it, they should go ALL the way.
I love it.
Move the office. Didn’t always think that way.
That’s one thing Donald does is to telegraph things. But sending up trial balloons is a good tactic now and then, but then again we sometimes need the element of surprise, done deal, fait accompli.
Telegraph? Trial balloons. I just wish he’d do the same with firing Muller.
Just. Off. ‘em. all. Peace.
Hmmm. He contacted Mommy’s Boy Macron? We know the French are bred-in-the-bone antisemites, but the fact this turd called Macron is pretty blatant. What does he think Mommy’s Boy is going to do for him? And I think Al-Sisi has more sense than becoming seriously involved with Palicrapians, having forged some successful alliances with Israel. Jordan’s king has become a recent disappointment to me as far as coming to his senses about Israel, and Qatar’s guy is just your run of the mill Jew hating Arab.
