Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Abbas said enraged by Kushner meet, refuses to halt pay even to worst terrorists
2017-06-24
To think that he might have been dealing with a soothing and sympathetic President Hillary Clinton. But now he can't even bring himself to say, "Nice doggie," at a time when he hasn't so much as a twig or a pebble to fend it off with. Clearly Allah doesn't like his people even a little bit, or he wouldn't have kept Mahmoud Abbas at their head at this time.
[IsraelTimes] Ramallah reportedly accuses US delegation of being mouthpiece for Israel, rebuffs watered-down demand to stop paying 600 prisoners serving life terms.
Then there was this clever move just before Mr. Kushner and his team arrivd in-country, which no doubt was noticed:

#2  Wikipedia explains how the Paleos screwed what economy they had.

For 30 years, Israel permitted thousands of Palestinians to enter the country each day to work in construction, agriculture and other blue-collar jobs. Until the mid-1990s, up to 150,000 people—about a fifth of the Palestinian labor force—entered Israel each day. After Palestinians unleashed a wave of suicide bombings, the idea of separation from the Palestinians took root in Israel. Israel found itself starved for labor, and gradually replaced most of the Palestinians with migrants from Thailand, Romania and elsewhere.
