Advertising Leaks: The Sunni province may go to Iraq in the deal of the century blob:https://embed.kwikmotion.com/5d6f1f96-59c1-410f-8811-a48649d23634 With video 2020-01-29 | 07:43 Source: Alsumaria 1,319 views Within the framework of the plan to counter the project to expel American forces from Iraq, Washington returns to the threat of regionalization by taking advantage of the positions of its local allies in favor of its survival, and while its officials sponsor meetings outside the lands of Mesopotamia, according to a leaked journalist, political parties see the regionalization as an ideal recipe for resolving the crisis. Within the framework of the plan to counter the project to expel American forces from Iraq, Washington returns to the threat of regionalization by taking advantage of the positions of its local allies in favor of its survival, and while its officials sponsor meetings outside the lands of Mesopotamia, according to a leaked journalist, political parties see the regionalization as an ideal recipe for resolving the crisis. In pain for Washington, the decision of the Iraqi parliament that obliged the resigned government to end the presence of American and foreign forces in the country was a legislative measure that confused the accounts of the American administration and its allies from local parties and political forces, which prompted the administration of President Donald Trump to study its alternative options, given its insistence on remaining under the pretext of Iraq’s need To protect in this context, he started waving the partition paper, and taking the localization file out of the stairs to the negotiating table again. The idea of the regions is not the product of the moment, but rather is the fruit of many meetings held over the past years, in addition to the articles one hundred nineteen and one hundred and twenty of the Iraqi constitution that supported the principle of the administrative region. The discussion of the regionalization project coincided with the decision to evacuate the American forces to push the signals to explore two Sunni visions related to the region’s file, one of which supports the formation of administrative regions in Anbar, Mosul, Diyala and Salahuddin, and is linked to the federal government in Baghdad, while the second vision aspires to create a pure Sunni Arab region It includes all the western provinces and extends to the borders of the Kurdistan region, but this vision clashed with the wishes of Osama al-Nujaifi, who refused to form sectarian provinces and began presenting himself and his front as the appropriate and alternative partner for Al-Halbousi and his Sunnah. In contrast, observers believe that any logistical readiness for the stage of Sunni regionalization means entering Iraq automatically in the deal of the century, which states some leaks that it requires dividing Anbar province into two governorates, half with Iraqi administration and another granted to the Palestinians to reach the desert bordering the Jordanian border, in a step that reveals the endeavors The Trump administration is blockading the road linking Tehran, Baghdad, Damascus and Beirut, as it is the logistical support line for the resistance factions. https://www.alsumaria.tv/news/بالفيديو/333005/تسريبات-المضي-بالاقليم-السُني-قد-يدخل-العراق-في-صف

  3. Palestinian leader roundly rejects Trump peace plan Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas delivers a speech following the announcement by the US President Donald Trump of the Mideast peace plan. (Reuters) Short Url RAMALLAH: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said “a thousand no's” Tuesday to the Mideast peace plan announced by President Donald Trump, which strongly favors Israel. “After the nonsense that we heard today we say a thousand no's to the Deal of The Century," Abbas said at a press conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah, where the Western-backed Palestinian Authority is headquartered. He said the Palestinians remain committed to ending the Israeli occupation and establishing a state with its capital in east Jerusalem. “We will not kneel and we will not surrender,” Abbas said, adding that the Palestinians would resist the plan through “peaceful, popular means.” The plan would create a Palestinian state in parts of the West Bank, but would allow Israel to annex nearly all of its settlements in the occupied territory. The plan would allow the Palestinians to establish a capital on the outskirts of east Jerusalem but would leave most of the city under Israeli control. The Islamic militant group ruling Gaza rejected the "conspiracies" announced by the U.S. and Israel and said "all options are open" in responding to the Trump administration's plan. “We are certain that our Palestinian people will not let these conspiracies pass. So, all options are open. The (Israeli) occupation and the U.S. administration will bear the responsibility for what they did," senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya said as he participated in one of several protests that broke out across the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Protesters burned tires and pictures of President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Abbas held an emergency meeting with other Palestinian factions, including Hamas, to discuss a unified response to the plan. Abbas had rejected the deal before it was announced saying the U.S. was hopelessly biased toward Israel. Jordan meanwhile warned against any Israeli "annexation of Palestinian lands" and reaffirmed its commitment to the creation of a Palestinian state along the 1967 lines, which would include all the West Bank and Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem. Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi warned of “the dangerous consequences of unilateral Israeli measures, such as annexation of Palestinian lands.” Jordan and Egypt are the only two Arab countries to have made peace with Israel. https://www.arabnews.com/node/1619516/middle-east
  4. Trump plan calls for Palestinian state with capital in eastern Jerusalem President Donald Trump with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he announced his peace plan in the White House. (AP) Short Url https://arab.news/p5j62 Updated 33 sec ago RAY HANANIA DAOUD KUTTAB NAJIA HOUSSARI January 28, 202019:45 WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday unveiled a long-awaited Middle East peace plan that broadly favored Israel, as expected, but also defied expectations by offering the Palestinian people a path to statehood. Trump proposed a Palestinian state double the size of the existing Palestinian territories, with East Jerusalem as its capital and a US Embassy there; high-speed rail links between Palestinian areas and a tunnel linking the West Bank and Gaza; a four-year ban on Israeli settlement building on land earmarked for a Palestinian state; $50 billion in economic aid; and continued oversight by Jordan of Al-Aqsa mosque compound. However, major Israeli settlements would remain, puncturing large parts of Palestine, Israel would take control of the whole Jordan Valley, and the refugee issue must be “settled outside Israel.” Read the full report here: Middle East peace plan Trump unveiled his plan at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, before an audience comprising mostly supporters of Israel but also including ambassadors from the UAE, Bahrain and Oman. OPINION Abdulrahman Al-Rashed Palestinians will lose out by rejecting peace talks READ ARTICLE He admitted the plan was good for Israel, but said it also had to benefit the Palestinians “otherwise it wouldn’t be fair.” “I am saddened by the fate of the Palestinian people. They deserve a far better life,” he said. Spotlight: Trump’s Middle East plan forges unexpected unity in Palestinian ranks Trump said his plan would end “Palestinian dependency on charity and foreign aid. We will help the Palestinians to thrive on their own. The Palestinians will be able to seize the future … We are asking them to meet the challenges of peaceful coexistence.” Trump said Palestinians must adopt basic laws enshrining human rights, end corruption and disarm Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza. He said Israel would work closely with Jordan to preserve the status quo of Al-Aqsa mosque compound. Trump said he had written to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas “explaining the territory allocated for his new state.” “It will become a wonderful Palestinian state,” he said. “President Abbas, I want you to know, if you chose the path to peace, America will be there … every step of the way. We will be there to help.” However, Abbas immediately rejected the plan on Tuesday night. Visibly angry on Palestinian TV, he said: “No, a thousand times no.” That the plan was based on a unified Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel is “enough for us to reject it,” he said. Husam Zumlot, the Palestinian ambassador to the UK, told Arab News: “There are 13 million Palestinians in Palestine and the world, and the very fact that the American administration couldn’t find a single Palestinian to appear in that White House room says volumes about the one sidedness of the deal.” In Lebanon, the Fatah movement called for a “day of rage” to resist the deal. *Daoud Kuttab reported from Amman and Najia Houssari from Beirut https://www.arabnews.com/node/1619441/middle-east
  5. Trump’s Middle East plan forges unexpected unity in Palestinian ranks US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu take part in an announcement of Trump's Middle East peace plan in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC on January 28, 2020. (AFP) Short Url https://arab.news/8c9hm Updated 13 sec ago DAOUD KUTTAB January 29, 202002:39 406 Reactions of rivals to Palestinian president's call for a meeting spark hopes of a unified response No Palestinian official was present at the launch ceremony in the White House on Tuesday AMMAN: US President Donald Trump's Middle East peace plan appears to have produced an unexpected result: It has forged a tenuous unity among Palestinian politicians. Local media reports suggested that both Hamas and the Islamic Jihad group accepted a call by President Mahmoud Abbas for a meeting of the Palestinian leadership at the presidential compound in Ramallah, in the West Bank, on Tuesday night. No Palestinian official was present at the launch ceremony in the White House on Tuesday. Palestinian leaders had rejected the plan in advance, saying it aimed to impose permanent Israeli rule over the West Bank. There was no immediate reaction from Abbas, but a spokesman for his Fatah party said Trump’s plan “will go to the trash (heap) of history.” Hussein Hamayel told Palestine TV that Trump was trying to “shift focus from his impeachment in the US,” but “neither Trump, nor anyone other than Trump can end the Palestinian cause.” Reacting to the formal unveiling of the White House plan's political framework, Sami Abu Zuhri, an official of Hamas, the Palestinian group in control of the Gaza Strip, said: “Trump’s statement is aggressive and it will spark a lot of anger. “Trump’s statement about Jerusalem is nonsense and Jerusalem will always be a land for the Palestinians. ... The Palestinians will confront this deal and Jerusalem will remain a Palestinian land.” On Sunday, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said in a statement: “The US administration will not find a single Palestinian who supports this project. “Trump’s plan is the plot of the century to liquidate the Palestinian cause.” Hagai El-Ad, executive director of B’Tselem, the Israeli human rights organization, said: “What the Palestinians are being offered right now is not rights or a state, but a permanent state of Apartheid. No amount of marketing can erase this disgrace or blur the facts.” Equally scathing was the statement of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in Washington D.C., which said: “With this new plan, there is uncertainty in what the future holds for Palestinians.” Other reactions were more measured. Ayman Safadi, Jordan’s foreign minister, said: “Jordan supports every genuine effort aimed at achieving a just and comprehensive peace that people will accept.” He said the only path to a comprehensive and lasting peace was the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on 1967 lines and with East Jerusalem as its capital. A spokesperson for Boris Johnson, the UK prime minister, said: “The leaders discussed the United States’ proposal for peace between Israelis and Palestinians, which could prove a positive step forward.” The Arab League has said it will convene an urgent meeting on Saturday. Trump presented his long-awaited plan, promising to keep Jerusalem as Israel’s undivided capital. Standing alongside Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, at the White House, Trump proposed a two-state solution and said no Israelis or Palestinians would be uprooted from their homes. The blueprint was drawn up under the stewardship of Jared Kushner, Trump's Middle East adviser and son-in-law. Earlier in the day, the Israeli military deployed reinforcements in the occupied West Bank and thousands of Palestinians protested in the Gaza Strip. Hani Al-Masri, executive director of Masart, a think-tank in Ramallah, said the semblance of Palestinian political unity is welcome but not sufficient. “This is a positive move but what is needed is a holistic strategy in which all are involved,” he told Arab News. Al-Masri called for a leadership-level meeting of all sectors of Palestinian society. “We need political faction leaders, civil society leaders, leaders of women and youth groups to meet in order to agree on a comprehensive plan, not simply a one-time reaction to the latest Trump plan.” Kayed Ma’ari director of the Witness Center for Citizens Rights in Nablus, told Arab News that President Abbas is trying to convey the message that there is a unified, not isolated, Palestinian rejection of the Trump plan. “This call shuts all the cracks in the internal Palestinian wall that is facing up to the deal of the century,” he said, adding that “this will strengthen the efforts to show publicly this Palestinian rejection.” However, Ma’ari warned that it is important “to build on this decision so that it is not an isolated reaction.” Hamas politburo member Khalil Hayeeh said the group would join the Palestinian leadership meeting in Ramallah. “We welcome the call by Abu Mazen (Abbas) and we declare our full support to this call,” he said. Ayman Daraghmeh, a former Hamas legislator, said he received a phone invitation from Fatah central committee member Azzam Al-Ahmad, who conveyed the invitation in the name of President Abbas to all former members from Hamas of the Palestinian Legislative Council. Khaled Batsh, head of the national relations committee of Islamic Jihad, said that the group would participate in the evening meeting in Ramallah on Tuesday. “This meeting is not an alternative to a much wider meeting on the national level, which will agree on a national strategy to face up to the challenges confronting Palestinians,” he said. Fahmi, a political analyst from Gaza, told Arab News that the Palestinian leadership and Hamas both need each other at present. “This meeting doesn’t seem to be based on a change of attitude or thinking, he said, “but it is clearly a response to the fact that both sides are facing an existential crisis and therefore are clutching each other (for support).” https://www.arabnews.com/node/1619716/middle-east https://docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=https://www.arabnews.com/sites/default/files/userimages/1347/ann_p03_29012020_ed1.pdf

  8. 28-01-2020 11:41 AM Iran cuts gas exports to run power stations in Iraq Baghdad / news The official spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity, Ahmad Al-Abadi, announced that Iran has reduced the exports of gas operating power stations in Iraq to 3 million cubic feet out of the agreed amount of 25 million cubic feet. Al-Abadi said, in a press statement, that "the problem of low electricity supply has now affected the provinces of Baghdad, Babil, Karbala, Najaf and Diwaniya due to the low pressure of Iranian gas, which affected the production of the stations that depend on it for their operation, and that the Iranian side is currently pumping approximately 3 million cubic feet of the quantity Agreed upon amounting to 25 million cubic feet. " He explained that "the Ministry of Electricity, through the crisis cell formed to overcome the problem of low gas pumping, was held in the presence of the Minister of Electricity and adviser to the Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and the ministries of oil and finance to search for alternative fuel sources and prepare the Ministry of Oil to fill the shortfall in generation stations, as pressure may continue to decrease. For longer periods of time, and every year, this decrease occurs, but this year has occurred with greater levels and greater levels of reduction than every year. ” He stated that "among the accelerated measures to overcome the problem of fuel supplied to electrical stations is the authorization of the Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Oil to approve the conduct of the fifth licensing round regarding the development of Iraqi gas fields because their rehabilitation will contribute to the supply of electrical stations with associated gas." And that "Iraq is exempt from the US sanctions on Iran regarding importing electrical energy and gas supplies, especially as Iraq pays the Iranian side in the Iraqi dinar and that the exemption lasts for four months and it is hoped that it will be extended after that due to Iraq’s urgent need for electricity and that the ministry imports gas from the Iranian side in addition to energy Electricity by 1200 megawatts, despite this, the Ministry of Electricity is moving towards implementing the fuel plan, which extends for three years in coordination with the Ministry of Oil, so that the need for Iranian gas will be eliminated. Iraq suffers a lot from the problem of low production of electric energy and works according to the programmed cutting system to supply the people with electrical energy for several hours a day, while the people resort to buying electrical energy from private stations to fill the lack of supply, especially in the summer where temperatures rise to high levels. http://www.ikhnews.com/index.php?page=article&id=208011

Rouhani and the Revolutionary Guards The "Daily Telegraph" published several topics on the situation in Iran, including a report entitled "The tension between President Rouhani and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards comes out into the open."

Masked men kill a retired general and university professor January 28, 2020 The assassination of a retired brigadier general in an armed attack Since the outbreak of demonstrations in Iraq, and the wave of assassinations and kidnappings of political activists, is increasing continuously, the last of which is today, a medical source announced the assassination of Dr. Muhammad Hussein Alwan, Professor of the Faculty of Education, Al-Mustansiriya University by armed groups in the banking area, and he was transferred to forensic medicine at the Canadian Hospital. Assassinations have become an obsession threatening political activists, and they are liquidated when they leave the field and go to the house at the hands of masked persons, as happened with the young man Fahim al-Taie, who was assassinated last December in Karbala, because of a post on Facebook. These assassinations come amid a government silence, which confirms that the perpetrator is unknown, and that the perpetrators will be pursued, but with few results, while the demonstrators confirm that the militias supported by Iran are the culprit, and that the bullets of their elements are chasing activists to put down their movements. According to the Iraqi Commission for Human Rights, the number of assassination attempts at the beginning of January was 33, in which 14 activists were killed and 19 others were injured. Dean's assassination In a related context, a security source reported that an officer with the rank of retired brigadier general had been assassinated within the affiliated societies of the Al-Dora area.

The Arab League holds an emergency meeting in the presence of Abbas January 28, 2020 From a previous meeting of the League of Arab States The Arab League will hold an emergency meeting at the level of foreign ministers on Saturday in Cairo in the presence of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss a peace plan that will be announced by US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, according to what the university announced. "The meeting will be held at the request of Palestine," Assistant Secretary General of the Arab League Hossam Zaki told reporters on Tuesday. On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump announced a Middle East peace plan, which Israel called "historic," but the Palestinians had previously rejected it. After more than two years of working silently and postponing the plan several times, the President of the United States set Tuesday the date for his "very big plan." Trump will not be alone in this official announcement from the White House. Rather, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has received him since Monday in his Oval Office, will stand by him. And Washington revealed last June the economic aspect of the plan, which requires investing about $ 50 billion in the Palestinian territories and neighboring Arab countries over a period of 10 years. But the details of this crack remain subject of speculation. Palestinians say the plan requires Israel to annex the Jordan Valley, the vast strategic area in the West Bank, settlements in the Palestinian territories and recognition of Jerusalem as the unified capital of Israel. https://www.alhurra.com/a/اجتماع-وزاري-طارئ-للجامعة-العربية-السبت-حول-خطة-سلام-أميركية-بحضور-عباس/531273.html

  16. 01/28 2020 13:01 Views 82 Section: Iraq Do condemnations of violence against demonstrators return Iraq to international sanctions? Baghdad / Obelisk: Legal expert, Ali al-Tamimi, on Tuesday 28 January 2019, explained the meaning of 16 countries' condemnation of excessive violence against demonstrators, indicating that this marks the gradual start of international sanctions. Al-Tamimi said in a statement to Al-Masalla, that the condemnation of 16 constitutes a gradual start to international sanctions with the presence of 3 countries, including permanent members of the Security Council and others in the European Union, which is considered a pressure on the United Nations to raise the matter to the Security Council, considering that the violence violates Articles 2 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 22 of the International Covenant Charter signed by Iraq.

  22. Palestinians free businessman who attended Bahrain workshop Salah Abu Mayala, a businessman from the city of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank after attending the Peace to Prosperity workshop that had been boycotted by Palestine. (File/AFP) Updated 30 June 2019 AFP June 30, 201910:07 42 Salah Abu Mayala, a businessman from the city of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, was arrested Saturday Trump adviser Jason Greenblatt said Sunday the White House was “pleased” with Abu Mayala’s release HEBRON, Palestinian Territories: The Palestinian Authority has released from custody a West Bank businessman arrested for attending a US-led conference in Bahrain aimed at starting a Middle East peace effort, a family source said Sunday. Salah Abu Mayala, a businessman from the city of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, was arrested Saturday and released late that night after taking part in last week’s conference which the PA boycotted. The family of Abu Mayala, who is in his 70s and has health problems, refused to comment on the arrest when contacted by AFP, but a family source in the southern West Bank city said he was back at home. The PA had decided to arrest Palestinians found to have taken part in the Manama economic conference, where US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner launched a long-awaited Middle East initiative. The Palestinian leadership, which has boycotted the White House over a series of pro-Israeli moves including recognizing the disputed city of Jerusalem as capital of Israel, insists a political solution to the conflict with Israel must come before economic issues. But at least three Palestinians took part in the Manama conference, including Abu Mayala and fellow Hebron resident and businessman Ashraf Jabari. Speaking ahead of the Sunday cabinet meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Abu Mayala, whose “sole crime was taking part in an economic conference aimed at advancing the Palestinian economy,” was released “due to American pressure.” “One thing is clear here — the Palestinians are determined to continue the conflict at any price, including at the price of the Palestinians’ welfare,” he said. “We, in contrast, are continuing to advance the ties with the Arab world, including today, and that serves everyone.” Trump adviser Jason Greenblatt said Sunday the White House was “pleased” with Abu Mayala’s release. He said on Twitter that the White House looked forward to further discussions with those who attended the workshop and “anyone else who wants a better future for the Palestinians.” https://www.arabnews.com/node/1518406/middle-east
  23. Kushner: Door still open to Palestinians despite Bahrain boycott Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and adviser, speaks to reporters as he closes the Middle East economic conference "Peace to Prosperity Workshop" in Bahrain. (AFP) Updated 27 June 2019 RAY HANANIA June 26, 201921:12 29 Kushner said US President Donald Trump had delivered on his promises to everyone, and would deliver on his promise to Palestinians Kushner says he has laid out a great framework in which Palestinians can engage 'if they want to make their people’s lives better' MANAMA: The “Peace to Prosperity” conference in Bahrain was “a remarkable couple of days,” White House adviser Jared Kushner said on Wednesday as he was pressed by Israeli reporters demanding to know what consequences Palestinians would face for refusing to attend. The conflict was a “solvable problem economically,” Kushner said. “The Palestinian people have been promised a lot of things over the years that have not come true, and I do want to show them that this is the plan, this is what could happen if there is a peace deal.” Kushner said he planned to follow up with investors to secure the funding. “Once we have that, we will roll into the political plan but we will do it with a context of people having the opportunity to digest what is possible.” It was a “constant theme” during the conference “that this is actually very doable,” he said. Kushner’s press secretary controlled who could ask questions. He said he would only allow four, and called Israeli journalists from i24 Israeli TV and The Times of Israel. When the press secretary waved me away, I asked if he would take a question from the only Palestinian reporter present, writing for Arab News. Kushner said: “Yes.” I asked if he was going to close the door or leave it open to the Palestinians as his vision for economic peace moved forward. “ The Palestinian people have been promised a lot of things over the years that have not come true...” Jared Kushner, US presidential adviser “If they actually want to make their people’s lives better, we have now laid out a great framework in which they can engage and try to achieve it,” Kushner replied. “We have left the door open the whole time. One thing you have seen with me is I tend not to get emotional about transactions at the end of the day, I understand people have their domestic politics and people have different ways of reacting. “I think what you have seen from us is that we have been very respectful, very straightforward. We have been very deliberate. We take actions, not weighing the political consequences. We have been weighing what is right and wrong.” Kushner said US President Donald Trump had delivered on his promises to everyone, and would deliver on his promise to Palestinians. “President Trump has said he wants to help the Palestinians achieve a better future for themselves, and I hope they will take it very seriously that he has been trying to do that. Hopefully what you have seen in the last couple of days shows there has been a lot of effort on a very high level, a lot of resources devoted to it. “We are going to keep moving forward and we will put out our political plan at the right time. I do think that one of the things from today is that it will be very hard for people to go back to looking at this through a traditional lens. I do think that hopefully we have helped people look at it a little bit differently, and that is one of our goals.” https://www.arabnews.com/node/1516611/middle-east
  24. Palestinian PM expects no political plan from US Bahrain workshop Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said he felt Trump administration initiative “is not going to go anywhere.” (Reuters) REUTERS June 27, 201915:31 Shtayyeh told says he felt the initiative 'will not really materialize and it’s not going to go anywhere' Palestinian leaders boycotted the Bahrain conference and are refusing to engage with the White House RAMALLAH: A day after the Trump administration wrapped up an international conference meant to lay the economic foundations for Israeli-Palestinian peace, the Palestinian premier said it was “divorced from reality” and unlikely to evolve into a political plan. Washington billed the two-day workshop in Bahrain as the first stage of its broader blueprint to resolve the Middle East conflict. US Gulf Arab allies said the economic initiative had promise if a political settlement is reached. But Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh told Reuters on Thursday he felt the initiative “will not really materialize and it’s not going to go anywhere.” “Bahrain was just simply a terrible exercise. I think it’s an economic workshop that has been fully and totally divorced from reality,” he said in his office in the West Bank city of Ramallah. “(It was) no more than an intellectual exercise.” The Bahrain “Peace to Prosperityt” workshop called for a $50 billion investment fund to stimulate the Palestinian and neighboring Arab state economies, more than half to be spent in the Palestinian territories over 10 years. But Palestinian leaders boycotted the conference and are refusing to engage with the White House — accusing it of pro-Israel bias after US President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in 2017. The Palestinians demand East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state. The political details of the long-delayed plan, which is spearheaded by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, remain a secret known only to a handful of people. Kushner and Trump’s Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt say the political elements will be unveiled later, possibly after a second snap Israeli election set for September. But Palestinians fear the Trump team may abandon the “two-state solution,” which envisages the creation of an independent Palestinian state co-existing alongside Israel. “We haven’t seen in the paper any reference to (Israeli) occupation, to settlements, to Palestine, to two states, to 1967 borders, to Jerusalem and so on,” Shtayyeh said. Of the Israelis, he said: “The debate in Israel today, it’s very unfortunate that it is not between those who want to end occupation and those who want to maintain occupation. The debate in Israel today is between those who want to maintain the status quo and those who want to annex certain parts of the West Bank.” Israel captured the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Middle East war, territories where the Palestinians now seek statehood. Days before an Israeli election in April, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to annex Jewish settlements in the West Bank if he won. Shtayyeh, a member of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction, was named in March to replace Rami Al-Hamdallah, who had spearheaded reconciliation efforts with Fatah’s principal internal rival, the Islamist Hamas, which rules Gaza. Few doubt the economist Shtayyeh’s grasp of financial issues facing the Palestinian Authority (PA), which exercises limited self-rule in the West Bank. He formerly headed PECDAR, the Palestinian Economic Council for Development and Reconstruction. But he inherited a government squeezed by steep US aid cuts, the crisis exacerbated by a political dispute with Israel over the withholding of some 5 percent of the approximately $190 million monthly tax revenues that Israel transfers to the Palestinian Authority. The mounting financial pressures on the PA have sent its debt soaring to $3 billion, and led to a severe contraction in its estimated $13 billion GDP economy, according to the PA’s top central banker. Shtayyeh said the fundamental economic problem was Israel’s continuing occupation of the West Bank, which meant Palestinians “don’t control our borders, we don’t control our entry points, our exit points, and we have no control of our land.” The current financial crisis, he said, had been exacerbated by the tax dispute with Israel. Israel said the sum it is withholding is to match stipends sent by the PA to families of Palestinian militants in Israeli jails, payments Israel says encourage attacks. The PA has refused to accept any tax transfers until those funds are restored. The shortfall, Shtayyeh said, had contributed to the PA — the largest employer in the Palestinian Territories — having to cut its own civil servants salaries in half. He warned that this situation could soon weaken the PA security forces that work closely with Israel’s military in the West Bank. “Can we maintain this situation? I’m not sure about that. If the policeman has no petrol in his car, he will not be able to maintain law in order in the streets. That is where the problem is,” he said. https://www.arabnews.com/node/1517061/middle-east
  25. You will have the support of the Palestinians" ... Trump unveils the US plan for the Middle East on Tuesday January 27, 2020 Trump while receiving Netanyahu at the White House US President Donald Trump said on Monday that his Middle East peace plan has a "chance" to succeed, announcing that he will unveil it on Tuesday afternoon. He told reporters while receiving the outgoing Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, at the White House, that the announcement would be made at noon Tuesday (17:00 GMT). Trump stressed that there is an opportunity for the success of his peace plan, stressing that it is logical for all and good for the Palestinians, noting that it will eventually have their support. For his part, Netanyahu extended his thanks to Trump, expressing his gratitude for all that the United States did for Israel, describing the expected peace plan as an opportunity of the century. The Palestinian government earlier Monday called on the international community to boycott the American plan, which the Palestinians have long declared refusing, accusing the Trump administration of bias towards Israel. Israel had described the plan as "historic", while the Palestinians committed themselves to their rejection of it and announced earlier that they had not received an invitation to attend the meetings in Washington. The details of the US plan, which began to be discussed in 2017, remains pure speculation. https://www.alhurra.com/a/ترامب-يكشف-عن-الخطةة-الاميركية-للشرق-الأوسط-الثلاثاء/531167.html
