"Peace" Process / Normalization / Abraham Accords

Sooner or later, this shiny package of a reconciliation is bound to fall apart, since it makes no sense.

After having handed out a measly four permits in the past 20 years to the Jewish community of Hebron, it is expected that 30 housing units will be approved there.

“There should only be one authority, one weapon, one law, and one political program based on the Palestine Liberation Organization’s agenda."

The military arm's spokesman said that "the weapon of resistance is the legitimacy guaranteed by all international laws, to defend the right of the Palestinian people in the occupied territory."

“If we can make peace between the Palestinians and Israel, I think it’ll lead to ultimately peace in the Middle East, which has to happen,” Trump insisted.

"Ayman Odeh is a terrorist in a suit. What he has managed to conceal for two years of smiling – he revealed in one phone call with Haniyeh."

'For too long, Hamas has exploited the people of Gaza as hostages and shields, bullying them into submission.'

“His comments. . . should not be read as a way to prejudge the outcome of any negotiations that the U.S. would have with the Israelis and the Palestinians."

“The Palestinian child stood facing the enemy’s bullets like a brave soldier,” one book teaches. A 2017 text calls firebombing an Israeli public bus a “barbecue party.”

“I think that was always the expectation when [United Nations Security Council] Resolution 242 was adopted in 1967."

A source in Ramallah noted that Abbas' internal political rivals, headed by Muhammad Dahlan, are much more likely to find themselves under an Interpol extradition order than Israeli officials.

The PA's accession to Interpol violates signed agreements with Israel.

The trip is taking place as part of the dissolution of Gaza’s administrative committee, brokered with Hamas by Egypt.

US envoy Jason Greenblatt will conduct meetings “in advance of a private trip in the region with his family" for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

The level of satisfaction with the performance of Abbas stands at 31% and dissatisfaction at 65%.

The Russian top diplomat reminded his audience of the PLO's failure to embrace Israeli generous offers in Camp David and Annapolis in the US.

It appears that the path to influencing Israel's foreign policy goes through the US Jewish community's leadership forum.

"Most people would say there’s no chance whatsoever; I actually think with the capability of Bibi and frankly the other side I really think we have a chance. "

"We will not recognize Israel... I declare this clearly. My friends, Hamas, you should not recognize Israel, you are not required to."

A senior White House official performed a familiar juggling act saying the administration was optimistic about the peace process in general, but no one expects a breakthrough or even tangible progress this week.

The Israeli plan, formulated under American pressure, is to help the Trump administration put pressure on Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to moderate his speech at the UN General Assembly.

'As opposed to similar calls in other years, no one from the Jewish community introduced or thanked him, and the president took no questions. The call lasted for about 5 minutes.'

Referring to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Smotrich said: 'Never will there be an Arab state between the sea and the Jordan.'

"Mahmoud Abbas will be 92 a decade from now. Israel will not intervene in his replacement, but we will certainly expect changes."

Even though almost 55% of respondents believe the peace process should be resumed, some 80% believe it is dead.

"Today, 20,000 Palestinians leave the West Bank every year. Their own surveys show that 30% aspire to emigrate. I will help them carry this out, fairly, with full monetary compensation."

Seeing as Abbas' Fatah is simply unable to carry out those eloquent suggestions of Trump's envoy, perhaps the US would be willing to send ground forces to forcibly reinstate the PA as the legitimate government of the Strip.

The Kerem Shalom Crossing "shows how [Israel] is trying to help the people of Gaza under very challenging and trying circumstances," said US peace envoy Jason Greenblatt.

“Hamas continues to arm itself in order to harm Israel as it exploits the generous humanitarian aid provided by the international community,” said Danon.
