Trump vows to broker Israeli-Palestinian peace, offers no new policies

President Donald Trump vowed on Wednesday to work to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians as he hosted Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the White House but offered no clues about how he could break the deadlock and revive long-stalled negotiations.

In their first face-to-face meeting, Trump pressed Palestinian leaders to “speak in a unified voice against incitement” to violence against Israelis but he stopped short of explicitly recommitting his administration to a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict, a longstanding bedrock of U.S. policy.

"We will get this done,” Trump told Abbas during a joint appearance at the White House, saying he was prepared to act a mediator, facilitator or arbitrator between the two sides.

Abbas quickly reasserted the goal of a Palestinian state as vital to any rejuvenated peace process, reiterating that it must have its capital in Jerusalem with borders based on pre-1967 lines. Israel rejects a full return to 1967 borders as a threat to its security.

Today Pres. Trump (and not from the Embassy in Jerusalem)
agreed with Putin to let Iran on the borders of Israel.

He stabbed the State of Israel on its birthday
as he stabbed his supporters in the face with TrumpCARE
and no border wall and more funding for Islamic terrorism
and everything the Democrats wanted, at home.

Pray for Israel this may be another declaration of a Trump win like the rest so far.

I’m tired of his style of winning.

There will be no "peace in the Middle East" until the Kingdom of G-d is restored to full operation there.

Trump may be pro-Jewish, but like most modern "philo-Semites" Jews are a quaint ethnic minority group, not the nation Divinely chosen and commissioned to oversee world Theocracy.

I think it was Golda Meir who said, “there will be no peace in the MidEast until the Arabs love their children more than they hate Jews”.

President Trump needs to understand that the Pali-Nazis will NEVER do what’s needed to achieve genunine peace with Israel. Talk of making some historic deal really amounts to pressuring Israel to make dangerous concessions to their deadly enemies. Israel needs to remain strong and extremely vigilant, with unwavering US support.

It's a complete waste of time. Please name me ONE time the Parasites have stuck to a treaty. How many days, or even hours did it take for them to step all over said treaty?

Put Jared on it, of course. Easy-peasy.

++++
That pretty much sums it up. Now all Trump has to do is negotiate a deal with the Israelies to set the number of dead Jews that will be enough to satisfy Abbas.

Piece of cake.

At what point do we admit that this Presidency is a damn circus? I agree it’s MUCH better than the alternative, but come on.

No one has seen this coming, I have.

I have posted my thoughts on it here. I could see all the players meeting with the President, El-Sisi, The King of Jordan, BiBi, back channels with the Saudi's. But Sundance @ CTH has laid it out, much better than I could.

IMHO a peace deal is coming and Progs will be shocked, shocked I tell you, it will kill them inside that the guy they tried to label as antisemitic did it.

All the strikes in the M.E. are about Iran and boxing in Iran's buy going after their allies. The Syrian strike was at them and Russia who are in Iran's Camp. Hezbollah got out of the Golan heights after that. Kim Jung Fat Boy? He is co-developing Nukes with Iran, again isolate Iran. The MOAB? that is trickier, a warning to Pakistan possibly as well but ISIS was wacked in that as well which is Iran funded.

El-Sisi made a bold speech that basically said, Islam has to move forward with the forces of modernity and has to leave the the despots behind. The same forces ( Iran ) that have been funding this low grade war with Israel forever.

Good gosh, to the beltway and the lame streams I am a nobody in fly over country that notices and sees, and even I can figure this one out...
