A meeting between Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and senior White House official Jared Kushner reportedly left the Palestinian leader fuming and refusing to agree to watered-down demands that Ramallah cut off payments for some convicted terrorists and their families.
According to Palestinian sources quoted in Hebrew and Arabic media Friday, Abbas and his advisers accused the US of taking Israel’s side and refused a demand to stop paying salaries to several hundred prisoners serving time for the most serious crimes.
Kushner, who is US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and chief Middle East adviser, met with Abbas in Ramallah on Wednesday, along with Trump’s international negotiator Jason Greenblatt.
Kushner, making his first negotiating foray to the region, held two key meetings Wednesday– with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then with Abbas — before heading back to Washington.
Kushner began his meeting with Abbas by stating all the Israeli concerns, including stopping the payments, according to Hebrew media reports, angering Abbas.
“The American delegation accepted Israel’s position with regard to paying salaries to prisoners,” a Palestinian source told Ynet, “and described it as a means of inciting terror, demanding it be stopped.”

“Incitement and glorification of terror have been a longstanding policy by this extremist government,” Erekat said, and further accused Israel of trying to “deviate attention [from the stalled peace talks] by inventing new excuses, such as allegations of incitement.”
This guy is confused as to who is inciting & glorifying terror. It damn well isn’t Israel.
I'm not understanding why ending payments is 'such a high price'? Technically, it will save them money and practically it sends a message.
We should remember; ‘The Art of the Deal’
If the Mossad would get off its duff and finally send the Abbas mass-murdering gangster to his Alluh in Hell..........
it would be a great, great blessing!
And loooooooooooong overdue, too.
Amen!
Why is the US giving ANY money to a terrorist organization? Arafat, who was an Egyptian, not a “Palestinian,” died having a few billion in his account. That was all US taxpayer money.
Abbas is no dummy. He KNOWS Trump (stupidly) wants to “make a deal,” and is trying to move the window to his side with tantrums. Arafat used to do the same thing, effectively. God forbid we ever get any president who realizes that “Palestinians” are no different from ISIS, and act accordingly.
Trump’s deal ain’t what Abbas wants at all. There is no real negotiation, just Trump pushing for the terms he wants. The Pali’s like the UN are going to wither and die.

Abbas knows he is a dead man the minute the payments stop.’
He is barely hanging onto power right now . Hamas wants him dead already .
[[This guy is confused as to who is inciting & glorifying terror. It damn well isn’t Israel.]]
He isn’t confused .
He is a liar .
The Palestinians and Abbas keep repeating the lies because to
many like to believe lies .
They will not stop. Too bad there are so many believing in an evil "two state" solution This will end someday:
And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horses' bridles, for a thousand and six hundred furlongs. Rev 14:20
You got that right. State Dept and UN have a ton of evil people.
You are 100 percent correct.
Not another cent from the U.S. There Mr. Abbas.
Up yours and ALL you palestinian miscreants.
Amen to that.
Should've been done by the first week in Feb.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Oh, noes. He provoked Abbas./s What ever shall we do after we give Jared a high five?
Give him a medal :)
I was a little worried about that meeting but not anymore.
Still, I look forward to the day that the Palis themselves give him the Mussolini/Czaucezesku sendoff, and we have real peace.

Eventually Hamas will do just that to him.
It’s coming and they will start something with Israel.
Hamas has a madness that only ends when they are dead and buried. It’s the every lasting hatred they scriptures talk about . When it happens Israel needs to kill every last member of Hamas.
I know Israelis value life . I do too and I don’t say this because I want to see people. I say this because I am sick of seeing these murders do what they do. I am sick of seeing Israeli babies butchered in their beds by these animals . I’m sick of seeing Israelis knifed and blown up on their own streets . I’m sick of seeing Hamas teach their own children to grow up and be murderers . It’s not right to not put and to them once and for all . These Hamas guys will never change , they are infected with an everlasting hatred and they are curse to their own people.
God will not allow it to go on forever .Their cup of iniquity is rapidly filling .
(Ezekiel 35:1) Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
(Ezekiel 35:2) Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
(Ezekiel 35:3) And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
(Ezekiel 35:4) I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
(Ezekiel 35:5) Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
(Ezekiel 35:6) Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
(Ezekiel 35:7) Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
(Ezekiel 35:8) And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
(Ezekiel 35:9) I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
(Ezekiel 35:10) Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
(Ezekiel 35:11) Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
(Ezekiel 35:12) And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
(Ezekiel 35:13) Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
(Ezekiel 35:14) Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
(Ezekiel 35:15) As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
