The Palestinian Authority (PA) announced on Sunday that the draft resolution to the United Nations Security Council that would set a two-year deadline for Israel to “end its occupation” will be submitted on Wednesday.

Kerry arrived in Italy Sunday amid a European-led drive to push moves towards Palestinian statehood, with officials saying he sought to learn more about the European position.

Hmmmm - two years is also the expiration date of Obam's squatting in the WH; coincidence? I think not...
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
