T. Belman. Greenblatt warned the PA, if you are not part of the solution “others will fill the void”. Both the PA and Hamas are obstructionists and are dedicated to destroying Israel. In the past they only had the power the US allowed them to have. Trump has dramatically alterred that formula. From now on they have to kiss our ass rather than us having to kiss theirs. They are not about to do this so they are being phased out. Jordan under Zahran will fill the void created by ending the PA and UNRWA. Greenblatt is putting the world on notice.
Abbas spokesman rejects Jason Greenblatt’s comments on others filling the void if the PA isn’t part of the solution in Gaza.
Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas, says that the “Palestinian people” alone will determine their future and choose their legitimate leadership, not the United States or any other entity.
His comments on Thursday came in response to Jason Greenblatt, the White House Special Representative for International Negotiations, who on Wednesday warned that if the PA is not part of the solution for Palestinian Arabs, “others will fill that void.”
Abu Rudeineh said in response that said there is no alternative to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the only legitimate representative of the “Palestinian people.”
Anyone who presents an alternative to the choice of the “Palestinian people” will be a partner in the plot to eliminate the Palestinian problem, he added.
Abu Rudeineh said Greenblatt’s comments were “unacceptable” and “interfering in the internal affairs of the Palestinians.” He noted that the Palestinians would oppose the American approach just as they fought the President Donald Trump’s “Deal of the Century”.
He called on Hamas to be aware of a plot against the Palestinian national enterprise, expressed in humanitarian aid programs, the construction of a seaport and an airport and the like, in return for giving up the Palestinian national principles, headed by Jerusalem and the refugees.
The PA opposes the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that is being mediated by Egypt, and considers it a betrayal of the Palestinian national principles.
Earlier this week, Abbas reportedly expressed outrage that a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel was being formulated without his participation and said, “Over my dead body will there be a ceasefire and agreement for calm between the sides.”
The Palestinians are simply delusional. They think they can determine the perks they will be getting into perpetuity simply by playing the spoiled child.
If the donors of those perks go away and take their perks with them, the Palestinians may even have to work for a living (!!gasp!!).
The only real problem is that everybody seems to think that the Palestinians should be allowed to play the spoiled brat. And they all think it’s Israel’s fault. And the Israelis seem to be going along with that idea over and over again. How else to explain the reopening of the Kerem Shalom crossing to goods while under rocket fire?
If the Palestinian dogs are allowed to get away with biting the hand that feeds them, I suggest and recommend that the go to bed hungry until they learn a new trick.
Can you get the Gazans to leave and start a new life in Turkey and Jordanians that are in Israel to leave to Jordan to start a new life?
