| [Ynet] Al-Hayat quotes Western sources saying no significant progress made in Ramallah meeting; Americans refuse to set borders of Paleostinian state based on 1967 lines, clarify settlement construction halt not possible. A US delegation led by President Donald Trump ...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 son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner has reportedly told Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... that a halt in settlement construction in the West Bank is impossible, because it could bring about the collapse of Benjamin Netanyahu's government, Western diplomatic sources told the London-based al-Hayat newspaper. The Western sources also told the paper the delegation had not made significant progress in the negotiations between Israel and the Paleostinians during the official visit to Ramallah. The US delegation told Abbas that it would work to consolidate economic, security and diplomatic relations between Israel and the Paleostinians before the talks begin. The Paleostinians, for their part, sought economic freedom in Area C and a change in economic agreements. In addition, the newspaper reported the American delegation expressed willingness to reach a two-state solution, despite the clarification that a settlement construction halt was not possible. Al-Haya further reported the Americans refused to set the borders of the future Paleostinian state based on the 1967 lines, and decided to leave this issue open to discussion by the two sides. The US delegation, headed by Kushner and Trump's envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt, met separately on Thursday with Netanyahu and with Abbas in an effort to promote Israeli-Paleostinian peace, something Trump referred to as "the ultimate deal." A statement by the US Consulate General in Jerusalem called the meeting between the American delegation and the Paleostinians "productive," noting that "Both sides agreed to continue with the US-led conversations as the best way to reach a comprehensive peace deal." However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... Paleostinian officials were frustrated by the fact the American delegation refrained from committing to a two-state solution, telling the Washington Post that "negotiations without any set parameters would benefit only the Israeli side." Ashraf Khatib, a front man for the PLO's Negotiations Affairs Department, told the Post, "We have clearly emphasized to the Americans the importance of having a public statement that has a commitment to the two-state solution. There hasn't been any." Khatib further warned that "Without a vision, it will be negotiations for negotiations’ sake." On Friday evening, Abbas spoke on the phone with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and updated him on his meeting with the American delegation. The Paleostinian state news agency Wafa reported the phone call was part of ongoing consultations between the Paleostinians and the Saudis, and that the two agreed to continue these consultations. Earlier in the day, Abbas spoke to the Emir of Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... , Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, also updating him on the talks with the American delegation. |
