...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, a senior PA official reportedly met with Mike Pompeo last month, days before he was sworn in as US Secretary of State. The meeting in Washington between then-CIA Director Pompeo and Majed Faraj, head of the PA’s General Intelligence Service, was known to PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas  ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...and to a small number of high ranking officials, Haaretz on Monday quoted senior Paleostinian officials as saying. If confirmed, it would be the most high-level contact between the PA and the US in over six months. Haaretz first mentioned the Faraj-Pompeo meeting several weeks ago, but on Monday published further details. One of the cited sources said that while the boycott still stands on diplomatic issues, security discussions are being held on issues with ramifications extending beyond Israeli-Paleostinian peace negotiations. Some of the subjects said to have been discussed were the Paleostinian National Council meeting in Ramallah and Abbas’s deteriorating health, a possible indication of Washington’s will to ensure stability once he is no longer in power. Abbas, 83, was released from a hospital in Ramallah on Monday where he had been treated for pneumonia for over a week amid burgeoning rumors of his deteriorating medical condition. Faraj, one of the Abbas’s closest associates, is considered a friend of Pompeo, and the two reportedly met last year, after Trump was sworn in as president. The US State Department declined to comment on the report. Posted by: trailing wife 2018-05-29 |
