US President Donald Trump has threatened to cut off aid payments to Palestine if the country does not return to the negotiating table with Israel.

Palestinian officials said Wednesday that Jerusalem was “not for sale” after Donald Trump, notoriously active on his Twitter feed, made a statement warning he could end annual aid of more than $300 million to force the warring parties to resume negotiations.

"Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the state of Palestine and it is not for sale for gold or billions," Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas’ spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina told AFP, implying Trump's controversial recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

The spokesman has expressed the stance of the Palestinian side, which underscored Abbas’ point that the United States could no longer be a mediator in the peace settlement.

"We are not against going back to negotiations, but [these should be] based on international laws and resolutions that have recognized an independent Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital," Abu Rudeina said.

According to foreignassistance.gov, the United States sent $291 million to Palestine in 2017 and an additional $251 million in aid was scheduled for 2018.

US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has ignited fierce protests among Palestinians, incited violent clashes between them and Israeli security forces and induced Hamas to launch a new intifada.

Exclusive: Trump denies U.S. embassy to be moved to Jerusalem within a year

 

Reuters Staff

3 MIN READ

  •  
  •  
 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump denied on Wednesday that the planned relocation of the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem would take place within a year, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he expected the controversial move to happen by then.

 

 

Reversing decades of U.S. policy, Trump in early December recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and set in motion the process of moving the embassy from Tel Aviv, imperiling Middle East peace efforts and upsetting the Arab world and Western allies alike.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said last month the embassy move was “probably no earlier than three years out, and that’s pretty ambitious,” a timeframe that administration officials have attributed to the logistics of finding and securing a site as well as arranging housing for diplomats.

Jerusalem is home to sites holy to the Muslim, Jewish and Christian religions. The Palestinians want East Jerusalem, which Israel captured in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and annexed in a move not recognized internationally, as the capital of their future state.

Netanyahu, according to Israeli reporters traveling with him on a trip to India, said on Wednesday: “My solid assessment is that it will go much faster than you think - within a year from now.”

Asked about Netanyahu’s comment, Trump told Reuters in an interview that was not the case. ”By the end of the year? We’re talking about different scenarios - I mean obviously that would be on a temporary basis. We’re not really looking at that. That’s no.“

Trump – whose decision on the embassy move fulfilled a campaign pledge - promised, however, that it would be a “a beautiful embassy but not one that costs $1.2 billion,” referring to what he says was the cost of the new U.S. embassy in London.

 

Trump last week canceled a trip to London to open the new diplomatic mission, blaming his White House predecessor Barack Obama for selling off the old one for “peanuts” in a bad deal.

He acknowledged that the embassy move in Britain was agreed under former President George W. Bush but said it was built under Obama and “came out tremendously over budget.”

The head of the Negotiations Affairs Department, Saeb Erekat, revealed in a political report presented to the Central Council meeting held on Sunday and Monday the details of the "peace deal" of peace between the Palestinians and Israel, which the administration of US President Donald Trump is preparing to present before Next April.

The report, which consists of 92 pages, said that "within two or three months at the latest, will be announced approval of the administration of President Trump on the annexation of Jewish settlement blocs in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem," while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 15% The Palestinian territories occupied in 1967, Trump proposes to include 10 percent ».

In the report, which was not approved by all the members of the PLO's Executive Committee, Erekat said that the Trump administration would "create a capital for the State of Palestine in the suburbs of Jerusalem (outside 6 square kilometers) in 1967 and then announce a joint security concept for the two states, Peace will include a demilitarized Palestinian state with a strong police force and bilateral, regional and international security cooperation, including the participation of Jordan, Egypt and America, with the door open to other states. "The security concept will also include" the presence of Israeli forces along the Jordan River and the Central Mountains Western) for the protection of the two countries, while Israel keeps the security powers of the maximum hand for emergency situations ».

Erekat pointed out that the Trump plan includes the withdrawal of Israeli forces and gradually redeploying them outside Areas A and B according to the classification of the Oslo Agreement, with the addition of new land from Area C, according to the Palestinian performance (no time limit) The State of Palestine in these borders, with the recognition of the State of Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people and the State of Palestine as a national homeland for the Palestinian people. Israel guarantees freedom of worship in the Holy Places for all, while preserving the status quo.

According to the report, "parts of the ports of Ashdod, Haifa and Ben-Gurion Airport are to be used for Palestinian use. The international crossings will be active Palestinian participation, with Israel assuming security powers." There will also be a safe passage between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip Under the sovereignty of Israel ». As well as territorial waters, airspace and electromagnetic waves "are under the control of Israel, without prejudice to the needs of the State of Palestine," in addition to finding a "just solution to the refugee issue through the State of Palestine" and not compensation and return to their homes in accordance with UN Resolution 194.

Erekat said that "these are the parameters of the historic deal that the Trump administration will seek to impose on the Palestinian side, while keeping the final borders and permanent status issues to be agreed between the two sides within a specified and agreed timetable." He stressed that "we should not wait for America to propose And the content of this spelling deal that maintains the status quo, which means one state with two systems, that is, apartheid and settlement legislation by American standards, through eternal self-rule ».

The head of the negotiations department referred to the UN General Assembly vote against Washington's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the "capital of Israel." He criticized the current administration, which "exerted great pressure on the Palestinian leadership to intimidate and force it to accept the imposed solutions by asserting that the PLO is a terrorist organization pursuant to the Congress Act 1987, The most recent of these was an official written letter sent by Erekat to "the most prominent adviser of his son-in-law, Jared Kouchner, on 30 November 2017." He pointed out that these pressures included "the closure of the PLO office in Washington and the extension of its opening with a written letter from the US State Department on November 17, 2017," as well as "the decision to cut aid to the Palestinian people Taylor-Force Project October 2017» .

Erekat stressed that "correcting" the relationship with the Trump administration "can only be achieved by canceling the decision to consider Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to consider the Palestine Liberation Organization a terrorist organization." It is likely that the administration will not do any of the following. Therefore, With them on the peace process with the refusal to be considered mediator or sponsor of the peace process ». He called for a refusal to give the US president an opportunity to present the features of the "historic deal."

Middle East peace plan 'almost ready', US says

Palestinian president Abbas said the United States had disqualified itself as a mediator [Getty]

  •  
The Middle East peace plan proposed by Trump's team is "almost ready" despite the Palestinian president's refusal to accept the US as a mediator.
 
The United State's Middle East peace plan is nearly ready, the US's envoy to the UN said on Thursday.

Speaking at the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics, Nikki Haley said: "They're coming up with a plan. It won't be loved by either side, and it won't be hated by either side…I think they're finishing it up."

When asked by the institute's head David Axelrod on whether the US's peace proposal would be built around the basis of a Palestinian State similar to that of the past, Haley replied: "It's for them to decide."

"It's hard for me to see how they would want (a single state)…they are pushing towards a two-state outcome," she added.

Haley's comments come two days after Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas' speech at the UN Security Council, calling for an alternative to solely US-mediated negotiations.

Trump's peace team dismissed Abbas' request and began briefing members of the UN Security Council on their plan to jump-start negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

Palestinians froze ties with the US after Trump broke with decades of American policy in December by recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital and declaring he would move the country's embassy from Tel Aviv to the contested city.

Palestinian president Abbas said the United States had disqualified itself as a mediator. "We will no longer accept that it has a role in the political process," he said at the time.

Abbas' office said that "Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the state of Palestine, and is not for sale for gold or billions" with other senior officials adding that they will not be "blackmailed" by Trump's threat of aid cuts.

Both the Palestinian territories and the Gaza Strip have seen daily protests and Palestinians have clashed with Israeli troops. At least 27 Palestinians have been killed since Trump's announcement on December 6.

Israel regards Jerusalem as its "undivided" capital, a position nearly the entire world rejects saying its status should be determined in peace talks with the Palestinians.

Under international law, East Jerusalem is considered occupied Palestinian territory.

Abadi's policy marks an epidemic in Iraq and a "grave" American mistake: this is our position on a relationship with Israel

Abadi points to an epidemic in Iraq and a "serious" American mistake: This is our position on a relationship with Israel
 
 Twilight News    
 
 5 hours ago
 

 

In his office in the fortified Green Zone in Baghdad, Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi spoke of the "epidemic" of corruption in his country and the efforts needed to prevent an organized organization from regrouping, as well as regional issues such as the war in Syria, And the Palestinians. 
Abadi was also frank about Iraq's support for Iran and wished Iran and the United States not to turn his country into a battleground for any proxy conflict. In an interview with Time magazine: " 
Now that you have broken a thorn," you actually called, why do you still need US troops here? Should not they return home?

It was a serious mistake of the US administration, in 2003, to make the invasion of Iraq an official occupation. 
"I do not call for the survival of US forces in Iraq, but at the same time I do not want a half-completed mission. There are safe havens for Syria, some of them on the border with Iraq, we must not forget that a" Region, and were not far from achieving that dream. 
- Cooperate with the US administration hostile to Iran, although you are allies close to Iran, and rely on Iranian support in your fight, "he said," how do you reconcile these two alliances?
- There is a common denominator, is that this terrorist organization represents a threat to the international community, and also poses a threat to Iran and the region, and I think there is a strategic interest for the United States and its allies in that under US leadership. We do not want interference in our internal affairs. The conflict between the United States and Iran is going back years. It has nothing to do with us. My message to them is: I ask you not to settle your accounts on Iraqi soil, we need your support.

- Can Iraq stand up to another attack similar to a "dubious" attack, perhaps under another name?

No country can tolerate such an attack. It is a huge human and material cost. Our policy is to prevent this happening. People must feel that they are part of this country and that they are citizens of this country. Reconstruction is also essential. We have paid the price twice: when the forces of «Dahesh» flowed into Iraq from Syria, causing the displacement of millions of citizens, and many of them were killed. And also when we began to liberate our areas, where there was great destruction. We have estimates of the cost of up to $ 46 billion.

- Anyone I spoke to complained about corruption, have you found it difficult to uproot this scourge in the last few years?

- It is already an epidemic. People ask me to put the corrupt in prison. But where do I start?It's hard work. That means a lot of investigation, a lot of this investigation should be done abroad, because the funds have been transferred abroad. The fundamental change in question is to make our system transparent and remove bureaucracy, because corruption hides in bureaucracy and routine. This is the cause of corruption, I'm sure, because there are bottlenecks. Someone in the system uses these bottlenecks, and this bureaucracy to achieve its own ends.

- Fifteen years have passed since the US invasion of Iraq, and many say the Americans have made catastrophic mistakes, and Iraq is still paying for them. Is this the truth?

-Yes it is. It was a serious mistake of the US administration (2003) to make the invasion an official occupation. They had an opportunity to transfer

responsibility

Can’t help but ponder if Trump will “ make an offer they can’t refuse “ - Difficult trying to get beyond thousands of years of pure hate. 

 

Only happen when Allah & Jesus materialize smack dab in front of these Fools and tell them to knock it off. Even then, they’d probably continue to argue. 

The M. E. Is a travesty on an Epic Level.

Bin Salman recognizes the right of Jews to establish a nation-state

Information / Baghdad ..

In a dangerous precedent not dared by any Arab official, the Saudi Crown Prince recognized the right of the Jewish people to establish a state on the land of Palestine (before the 1967 borders that Israel had already occupied).

"I think every nation, anywhere, has the right to live in its own country in peace," Bin Salman said in an interview with The Atlantic magazine. I think Palestinians and Israelis have the right to a state of their own on the same land. But we must have a peace agreement to ensure stability for all and to establish normal relations. "

"Israel is a big economy compared to its size. It is a growing economy. Of course, there are many interests that we share with Israel. If there is peace, There will be many interests between Israel and the Gulf Cooperation Council, countries and countries like Egypt and Jordan. "

For the first time in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, an Indian flight took off a few days ago from New Delhi to Tel Aviv, hovering over Saudi Arabia, for the first time in which the Kingdom was making fun of a flight to Ben-Gurion Airport.

This normalization comes after constant pressure from the Israeli occupation government to open the Saudi airspace to high Israeli aviation, as well as flights to Tel Aviv. Ending / 25

Information / Baghdad ..

A deputy close to the head of a coalition of state law, Nuri al-Maliki, on Tuesday, the statements of the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which is attacking the doctrine of waiting and prepare for Imam Mahdi (p), saying it reflects a doctrine deviant.

"The statements of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to American media on the Imam al-Mahdi and the establishment of a national state for Jews in the Arab territories confirms that he holds a radical ideology deviant does not recognize the other," said the MP of the coalition Mohammed al-Chihod said, These statements point to the validity of what we recently warned against dealing with this character. "

He added that "these principles emphasize the respect of faiths and religions and not the atonement and detonation of the other as Saudi scientists did over the past years."

 Bin Salman attacked the doctrine of waiting and preaching to Imam al-Mahdi (AS), which was unanimously agreed upon by Muslims, claiming that the doctrine was based on "extremist ideology" that ran counter to the principles of the United Nations.

This is the second time that Bin Salman has attacked the doctrine of waiting and preparing for the Imam Mahdi, the future that Muslims believe in their various sects, especially the Twelfth Ja'afari Shiites. Ending / 25

Saudi Crown Prince Admits Saudis "Financed Terrorist Groups", Blesses Israeli Statehood

Profile picture for user Tyler Durden
Tue, 04/03/2018 - 05:24

Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) admitted in a wide-ranging interview in The Atlantic that Saudi nationals have funded terrorist groups, and quite stunningly - that Israelis are entitled to live peacefully on their own land - yet another indicator that the relationship between Riyadh and Tel Aviv is strengthening.

lead_960_540_0.jpg

When it comes to financing extremist groups, I challenge anyone if he can bring any evidence that the Saudi government financed terrorist groups. Yes, there are people from Saudi Arabia who financed terrorist groups. This is against Saudi law. We have a lot of people in jail now, not only for financing terrorist groups, but even for supporting them. -The Atlantic

Bin Salman's comments come days after a U.S. judge rejected Saudi Arabia's request to dismiss lawsuits accusing it of involvement in the 9/11 attacks.

The cases are based on the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (Jasta), a 2016 law that provides an exemption to the legal principle of sovereign immunity, allowing families of the victims to take foreign governments to court.

The families point to the fact that the majority of the hijackers were Saudi citizens, and claim that Saudi officials and institutions "aided and abetted" the attackers in the years leading up to the 9/11 attacks, according to court documents. -Middle East Eye

MbS also told The Atlantic when asked if Jewish people have a right to a nation-state in at least part of their ancestral homeland:

I believe the Palestinians and the Israelis have the right to have their own land. But we have to have a peace agreement to assure the stability for everyone and to have normal relations...  We have religious concerns about the fate of the holy mosque in Jerusalem and about the rights of the Palestinian people. This is what we have. We don’t have any objection against any other people. This is what we have. We don’t have any objection against any other people”

Saudi Arabia does not currently recognize Israel - maintaining for years that normalizing relations all depends on the withdrawal from Arab lands captured in the 1967 Middle East War - territory Palestinians claim to be theirs for the establishment of a future state.

"There are a lot of interests we share with Israel and if there is peace," MbS added. "There would be a lot of interest between Israel and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and countries like Egypt and Jordan”

Behold the "Coalition to fight terrorism"

orb_0.png

Recall that the first two stops Donald Trump made as President were Saudi Arabia and Israel, where he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu and Saudi Arabia's King Salman to discuss a coalition to fight terrorism - which, aside from the US and Israel, includes Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman and Jordan - assembled to fight the Islamic State and curtail Iran's regional ambitions.

Last November, the 32-year-old bin Salman announced plans to "wipe terrorists from the face of the earth," by forming a coalition of 40 Muslim countries to defeat ISIS.

Speaking at a summit of defence ministers from across 41 majority-Muslim countries he spoke of a need for a "pan-Islamic united front" against terrorism.

He said: “In past years, terrorism has been functioning in all of our countries... with no coordination among national authorities.

"That ends today, with this alliance." -express.co.uk

The first official meeting of the new Muslim alliance was held a week later - just two days after an attack at a Mosque in Egypt killed over 300 people, including 30 children - in what was called the country's worst terrorism incident.

Meanwhile, bin Salman traveled to Washington D.C. in March, where he began what's been described as a cross-country road show to lure American firms and investment to Saudi Arabia - a crucial component of his "Vision 2030" plan to wean the ultraconservative kingdom's economy off its reliance on oil.

Since being appointed heir to the thrown, MbS, 32, has embarked on what fawning US media have described as an "ambitious" reform agenda. He has earned-widespread praise for lifting restrictions on women driving while loosening rules around male-female interactions and also reining in the country's religious police.

In an effort to wean the Kingdom off of its dependence on oil, MbS launched his Vision 2030 initiative - a plan that relies on foreign investment.

a British newspaper: Iran seeks to secure a road linking three countries, including Iraq

British newspaper: Iran seeks to secure a road linking three countries, including Iraq

The Times published an editorial on US President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw troops from Syria early, calling it a decision in favor of US adversaries.

The Times says the withdrawal of US forces from Syria would give room for Turkey, Russia and Iran to declare victory over the United States.

The newspaper said the meeting of the leaders of the three countries and said they met to coordinate their efforts to protect the regime of President Bashar al-Assad from falling and to determine the areas of influence of each country, and the United States out of the Middle East.

The Times noted that the three countries, including differences and competing for interests in Syria sometimes, but agreed on the common denominator is the exclusion of the United States.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is keen to conclude a $ 400 million deal to sell Turkey, even though it is a NATO member.

And Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, need these missiles to hit the positions of the Kurdish militia.

Iran, which was attended by its president, Hassan Rowhani, at the Ankara summit, seeks to establish and secure a road that runs through Syria, linking its friends in Iraq and Hezbollah, which it sponsors in Lebanon.

The Times believes that the withdrawal of US troops from Syria would be a serious mistake. A decision based on Trump's belief that the war on the organization of the Islamic state was over.

But the Times believes that this withdrawal will leave the Syrian opposition factions without support, and allows to defeat the Kurds, and deepen the humanitarian crisis in the country. There will be no hope of democratization, and all that the Assad regime is doing is implementing orders from Moscow and Tehran.

Bin Salman's policy signals an American error in Iraq and talks about the future of Bashar and Syria

Bin Salman signals an American mistake in Iraq and talks about the future of Bashar and Syria

The Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said the United States had made a big mistake in entering Iraq and should have stopped after completing the mission in Afghanistan and focus on how to turn Afghanistan from a weak state into a normal state.

He added during his interview with the magazine "Time" America, that America made a mistake when the largest withdrawal of troops from Iraq and the dismantling of the Iraqi army, which caused the emergence of problems in the Middle East.

As for the war in Syria, Bin Salman added: "I think that Bashar is still at the moment, and that Syria has been part of Russian influence in the Middle East for a very long time, but I think that Syria's interest is not to leave the Iranians doing what they want. Syria in the medium and long term, because if Syria changed its ideology, then "Bashar" would be a puppet of Iran.

"It would be better for him to have a strong regime in Syria, and this would also be positive for Russia, but for Russia it would be better for them to have direct power and to have Bashar, and they have direct influence in Syria not through Iran. "Bashar" will not leave at the moment .. I do not think that "Bashar" will go without war, and I do not think that no one wants to start this war because of the conflict between the United States and Russia, One wants to see that. "

On US President Trump's intention to withdraw US troops from Syria, the Saudi Crown Prince said: "We believe that American forces should stay in the medium term at least if not in the long term, because the United States needs to have papers to negotiate and exert pressure, "You need to have checkpoints in the corridor between Hezbollah and Iran, because if you remove these forces from eastern Syria, you will lose that checkpoint and that corridor will escalate other things in the region."

Information / Special ...

The decision of the Committee on Security and Defense parliamentary Abdul Aziz Hassan, on Sunday, that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan went too far and his statements do not give up the motives and goals behind the Islamic extremism.

"The commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Haider al-Abadi, is required to stop the Turkish excesses against Iraqi sovereignty," Hassan told the news agency.

He pointed out that "the Iraqi government has not taken a position on Erdogan and his forces occupying the north of the country."

Hassan explained that "the committee will discuss the consequences of the Turkish northern Iraq and the possibility of survival and the number of troops," warning of "a new Turkish occupation of Iraq."

The Security and Defense Committee of the parliament rejected earlier attempts by Turkish troops to penetrate deep into Iraqi territory in the north under the pretext of combating elements of the PKK, and indicated that it will open the door to the entry of other foreign forces, including the US, accused the government of neglecting the Turkish presence in Baishika. / 25h
