| [IsraelTimes] FMs from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, other Arab states say Jerusalem’s refusal to allow landmark trip to Ramallah reflects government’s ‘disregard for international law’ The foreign ministers of Arab countries who had planned to visit the West Bank over the weekend condemned on Saturday Israel’s decision to block their trip. The ministers panned "Israel’s decision to ban the delegation’s visit to Ramallah [on Sunday] to meet with the president of the State of Paleostine, the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase.... Ministers from Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start... , Egypt, Jordan, 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. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... , Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates had been expected to take part alongside ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... , according to the statement. The joint statement from the ministers said the decision to block the visit "reflects the extent of the Israeli government’s arrogance, its disregard for international law, and its continued illegitimate measures and policies that besiege the brotherly Paleostinian people and their legitimate leadership." The ministers added that Israel was seeking to perpetuate "the occupation and undermine the chances of achieving a just and comprehensive peace." Israel decided to block the delegation of Middle Eastern foreign ministers, led by Saudi Arabia’s top diplomat, from making a landmark visit to the West Bank. A senior Israeli official told The Times of Israel that the PA was planning to use the delegation’s visit to "promote the establishment of a Paleostinian state." "Israel will not cooperate with moves designed to harm it and its security," the Israeli official asserted, claiming that a Paleostinian state would become "a terrorist state in the heart of the Land of Israel." Since Israel controls the borders of the West Bank, its approval was required for the ministers to enter the territory. The visit by Prince Faisal bin Farhan was supposed to be the first by a Saudi foreign minister since Israel took over the West Bank in 1967. The ministers were supposed to arrive in Ramallah via helicopters from Jordan, a source familiar with the matter said. The Israeli entry ban is likely to further strain Israel’s relations with its Arab neighbors, which have already deteriorated significantly since the outbreak of the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... war. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ...Crown Prince and modernizer of Saudi Arabia as of 2016. The Turks hate him, so he must be all right, despite the occasional brutal murder of Qatar-owned journalists... personally supported the trip, which was also intended to show support for the embattled PA, according to the Axios news site. The Israeli decision is likely to further distance efforts to secure a normalization deal between Jerusalem and Riyadh. Israeli officials have claimed that an agreement is possible, downplaying repeated Saudi assertions that it won’t happen absent an Israeli acquiescence to creating a pathway for a future Paleostinian state. |
