Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas has been waging a battle against U.S. President Donald Trump's intention to recognize Jerusalem as the official capital of the State of Israel but appears to be having trouble recruiting Arab leaders to the cause, Hahadashot (formerly Channel 2 News) reported Sunday.

According to the report, Abbas has been calling all the leaders of the Arab and Islamic region and asked them to convene an emergency meeting of the Arab League.

Despite his appeals, however, the leaders of the Arab world are not cooperating with him. The only one who expressed willingness to help is Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is trying to prevent Trump from going through with the move.

According to the report, Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh spoke on the phone with Abbas and the two agreed that the Palestinians should demonstrate against the American decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Trump is to decide by Monday whether he will sign the waiver delaying the move of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and it has been speculated that he may prefer to declare American recognition of Jerusalem first and wait before moving the embassy.

#1, Turks aren't Arabs, so good luck with that; #2, **** Ergodan and the river of blood heritage he rode in on.

“Maybe they no longer want to be wanna-be Palestinians.”

But the pay is great. As many as five ration cards per person. The hours and duties are reasonable. You just sit around all day and resent. And you have lifetime unemployment. There are fun activities for the kids, too, such as strangling kittens, practicing pulling the cord on toy suicide vests, and crawling under barbed wire with a toy AK-47.
