Peloni: Take note of the following revelation: “The number two guy in the NSC, advising on the Middle East, is a guy by the name of Maher Bitar, he is one of the founders of Students for Justice in Palestine.”
So while the Democratic funders funded the antisemitic mob protests which were carried out across the US by organizations such as the SJP, one of the founders of this terror supporting organization held the second highest position in the US intelligence organization which coordinates US policy across the US govt. Note further the fact that an Iranian influence operator was exposed in the higher echelons of the Pentagon where she still remains, and that the person who initially brought her into the US govt was none other than Robert Malley who has recently been reported to have been suspended after he downloaded classified material and which may have been shared with people outside of the US govt. The relevance of these intimate ties between Washington and Iran/Iranian proxies can not be overlooked or underestimated, as antisemitic attacks on campuses across the US are condoned and anti-Israel policies are promoted.
Former US Ambassador to Israel says the US must help Israel apply sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and makes a surprising revelation about the White House’s decision-making: ‘Advising on the Middle East, is Maher Bitar, one of the founders of Students for Justice in Palestine.’

David Friedman at the Jerusalem Conference Haim Twito
Former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, Chairman of the Jerusalem Conference in New York, sat down on Sunday for a special interview at the Arutz Sheva-Israel National News Jerusalem Conference in New York City.
Friedman started by discussing his new One Jewish State project, which opposes a two-state solution and seeks to work with Israel to find an alternative solution. “After October 7th, the first time I heard Joe Biden say ‘We need a two-state solution,’ I thought that we have to respond immediately. This is so tone-deaf.Especially when we had a dry-run; we had a dry-run in Gaza, not a single Jew living there, not a single IDF soldier on the ground there, billions of dollars being given to them, whether from the US, UNRWA, the EU, with a western-facing Meditterainian sea-front. And they took all the money and either pocketed it or they built terror tunnels or weapons. So if you were teetering on a two-state solution before October 7th, anyone who’s looking at this today has to understand, that there can not, under any circumstances be a two-state solution, and we have to fight it.”
As to a viable alternative for a two-state solution, the former Ambassador has one clear solution: “We in America have to help Israel grow more comfortable with the idea of Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.” He emphasized that sovereignty should be applied not only over Area C but over the entire area.
According to him, such a solution would please both sides of the aisle: “You can support this if you’re on the right because you’re happy about sovereignty; you can support this on the left if you think that Palestinians should have a better life; you can support this if you’re secular because you just see it as the only way that Israel will ever have security; or you can support this if you’re religious and you think that this is the land given by G-d to the Jewish people, as I do.”
Friedman negates the portrayal of such a plan as a “land grab” where Israel would only claim Area C. “What we need to do is to expand upon the Abraham Accords to go to our friends in the Gulf and say to them: ‘Look, you keep talking about a Palestinian state – you know that’s not going to work, we know that’s not going to work.'”
He believes that the Saudis truly object to a two-state solution, understanding that the problems that would stem from a Palestinian state would adversely affect the kingdom. According to him, the Biden administration is the one pushing such a solution, hiding behind Saudi normalization as a way to reach such a plan. “At the end of the day, everyone in the Middle East knows that a Palestinian state is a terror state. It’s a rebirth of Hamas, it’s a rebirth of the worst forces that confront, not just Israel, but the moderate Sunni nations as well.”
Regarding the “day after” the war in Gaza, the former Ambassador explains that he believes the term is flawed since the war will not end overnight. “You’re not going to flick a switch and the war is over. Israel has destroyed about 24 battalions, but destroying a battalion only means that you’ve killed more or arrested more than half, you’ve destroyed the command and control. There are hundreds and hundreds of terrorists floating around the Gaza Strip, there are four battalions in the south. There may come a point where the military strategy changes, but we’re talking about a radicalized population that gets no help from anybody.”
He explains: “When Syria had a civil war, a million Syrian refugees were dispersed around Europe. They were given a place to stay. Egypt will not take a single Gazan refugee, Jordan will not take a single Gazan refugee, nobody wants them. So this idea about ‘a day after,’ I say give Israel some help, what does that mean ‘a day after?’ Israel is the only country that has an interest, an incentive, and a capability of keeping Gaza from being radicalized. No one else can. It’s not going to be Hamas, it’s not going to be the PA, it’s not going to be the UN. The UN was supposed to demilitarize Hezbollah in 2006, UNIFIL is still there today, and they (Hezbollah) still have 100,000 missiles, they’re the second strongest army in the Middle East. Whether it’s the UN or the EU, or any of these Arab countries, it doesn’t work.”
Regarding the emerging proposal for a deal between Israel and Hamas, Friedman said: “I think the pressure Biden is putting on Netanyahu right now is extraordinary. I think that what he did on Friday, when he announced an Israeli proposal, at a time when it was Shabbat in Israel, and Netanyahu wasn’t even supposed to respond to it, forcing Israel to respond after it was already Shabbat. A proposal that Israel never made, or certainly leaving out, the critical piece of it, which is that Hamas will be destroyed. I think the pressure is tremendous, and I think that Netanyahu is being confronted also by America and others with this false choice, that you can either with the war or free the hostages, but not both. And I’ve never understood that conflict, especially when dealing with Hamas.” He emphasized that the way to get the hostages back it to place the maximum amount of pressure on Hamas.
Friedman made a revelation about the White House’s decision-making: “Down the hall from the Oval Office is the National Security Council, which is the President’s personal advisor on security, they have a huge amount of influence. The number two guy in the NSC, advising on the Middle East, is a guy by the name of Maher Bitar, he is one of the founders of Students for Justice in Palestine. That’s the guy who’s down the hall from the Oval Office.”
With this, he noted that “I don’t think it’s fair to criticize Joe Biden personally because I’m not sure that he knows what he’s doing, I’m totally not sure. I think that he’s under the influence of Tony Blinken, he’s under the influence of Jake Sullivan, under the influence of Maher Bitar, of Hady Amr, who runs the Palestinian office, that we never had, in the Embassy. They believe in the two-state solution, as the mother’s milk of American diplomacy, and they believe that Netanyahu is against everything they want. They’re going to push him out that’s what they want to do, beginning with Chuck Schumer, and continuing with this entire administration.”
@Ted, it basically says Mudar does not have a real organization and is not credible.
My impression 7 years later nothing has happened, nothing is happening and nothing will happen. Predictions and comments that can never be substantiated or never happen or turn out false.
I know Ted, it’s secret and only a few know but you know Mudar and believe it will happen.
Mudar introduced himself to me recently and to be polite as I can was not impressive nor inspired any change of belief.
BEAR-
I recall that a very negative article was written on a blog and supported by Carolyn, on “Elder of Ziyon”.
I once asked the publisher why there were virtually no articles except by him, and he snappily responded that “I own the site and can do what I want'”.
Since then, although he writes well, I rarely read his stuff.
A very offensive guy unless things are going his way…..except when he comes into contact with a more powerful blog, like our, and becomes all “sugar and spices”
@Bear
Your JPOST article was 7 years old. It fails to comment on what’s happening today.
It gives the impression that the JO is dead. As such it is false reporing
Two very different things are being conflated here, the JO in Jordan and the JO in the territories. I support the first but oppose the second. I don’t know how likely it is Zahran will be successful but short of Israel justly redeeming the 77 percent of the Mandate Churchill stole from our people to give to our enemies — which ain’t happening in any forseeable future — He is the only real ally Israel has in the region — unless he’s a really, really good liar in which case, so what? — As Trump said to African-American voters:
“What have you got to lose?”
Michael-
I take your point.
Every man and his dog has a plan , but they all fail when it comes to Implementation.
And Implementation of any one of them would leave BOTH sides unsatisfied.
The Only One which solves all issues is the JO.
You may not agree, but I am and always have been both a deep an also contrarily, an intuitive thinker.
I could think of 3-4 differing opinions at the same time, and the Only plan I have seen (and I’ve seen many of those in your list) which surely would work -assuming honest participation on both sides-and institute Peace in The Middle East-Israel area- is The Jordan Option. I delved into the massive amount of work that Ted and Mudar had done even to pricing prefab Apartment blocks in Jordan, Egypt and elsewhere. It was astonishing and revelatory.
The JO is unique for it’s wide ranging solutions which indicate future prosperity for the whole area.
Hi, Bear
These things happen, but take heart! I hear that either Peloni or Laura are treating us all with cheesecake and apple pie!
Supper time… gottarun.
As I thought no free speech on Israpundit my link to a Jpost article challenging the validity of Mudar was removed.
Clearly if an article Caroline Glick wrote can get removed because it challenges the validity of Mudar, then JO is unable to stand up to challenges, because it is not worthy.
@Michael
No other Plan called for the abdication of Abdullah.

“Ahmad Daqamseh freed after killing Israeli schoolgirls
Ahmad Daqamseh opened fire on Israeli schoolgirls on a trip to the Jordan-Israel border in 1997.
A Jordanian soldier who killed seven Israeli schoolgirls in 1997 was released after serving 20 years in prison.
Ahmed Daqamseh was given a rousing welcome in his home village in northern Jordan after being freed on Sunday. He expressed no remorse for the killings.
Daqamseh was greeted by chanting supporters who kissed him on the cheek and raised a photo of him with the caption, “Welcome to the hero Daqamseh.”
The soldier opened fire on a group of Israeli students at the scenic “Island of Peace” border post in March 1997, killing seven and wounding seven, including a teacher.
“The release of this hero has cheered us. Israel has committed crimes against many Jordanians that were never accounted for,” said Saleh Armouti, a leading parliamentarian.

Hi Michael, I recommend the plan I’m on for Gaza and Southern Lebanon, Iran and Yemen.
It’s called, “level billing.” 😀

“But seriously folks, ” you, of
course realize that every single one of
these plans is about Israel ceding authority over territory which is what makes them non-starters. The JO is not like that. But this business about letting anyone but Israel run any part of Eretz Israel west of the Jordan river is.
“There is no diplomatic solution”
Hmmm. Now, where have I read

Their batting average is .000. Unlike Ted, I have no confidence the “Jordan Option” will be different.
@Edgar, unlike Ted, I and several (others credible Israelis) when we communicated with Mudar Zaharan found him completely un-credit worthy. The JO is all dependent on him I do not believe in it. The conference was in 2017 and Mudar was not allowed into Israel for this, according to published reports. Ted differs as to the reasons for this.
Jordan has a population (made up of ~80% Palestinians so it really ever going to be friendly towards Israel?
Edgar, people are allowed to believe in whom or what they want. I repeated my 100% complete disbelief in the JO because I think it is wise to only discuss things that have minimally a remote possibility of occurring. Then people have been talking about faith based things for a long time and will continue to do so.
@Ted
Would there ever be a time they wouldn’t have reason to fear for their lives unless they played a double game?
How do you answer the valid if accurate concerns raised in this article (besides, of course, its ridiculous boiler-plate appeasement oriented conclusion which is only to be expected from this Center Left schmatte)?
https://www.timesofisrael.com/relying-on-local-clans-to-run-postwar-gaza-should-be-off-the-table-experts-warn/
BEAR-
An important overlooked point is that no other plan has remotely approached the JO for practicality and assured genuine peace in that volatile area.
You and I have much mutual respect for one another for many years and not likely to change. Ever since I asked you about possible family relationship
@Edgar respectfully that support of Bedouin tribes is not real it was part of the unproven and unrealized story.
The story of the Mudar JO does sound appealing but it is simply not real. Feel free to believe it if you like. Ted does.
BEAR-
To rule a tin-pot group like Jordan and the YESHA ARABs one would hardly need any “world power”.
I suppose you mean WP support.
I believ that he does’would have, and more importantly had the unwavering support of masses of local Bedouin tribes, at least 2 large ones I recall.
One tribal leader spoke at TED”s JO Conference a few years ago.
There has been no other option even close to the JO appearing and likely never will.
@Seb
As you know, the leaders of one clan were recently killed. They are now playing it safe.
@Seb, current plan is to divide Gaza in pieces and start trying at first with non-affiliated Gazans (with terrorist organizations) start at first to distribute the aid. That is the first step. This is in areas IDF has cleared and demilitarized of Hamas.
That is plan see if it works.
@Ted So, when the clan leaders recently said they reject that option, are you suggesting that they just said that out of fear of Hamas but didn’t really mean it?
@Seb
Absolutely. Bibi has already announced that the IDF will stay in Gaza at least uhntil it is stable. He also announced that Israel will help the clan leaders to assert control.
Abdullah will be gone long before Trump gets re-elected.
Israel has no choice but to invade Lebanon and destroy Hezbollah.
I also wopuld prefer that the Gazans are encourae to emigrate and for Israel to declare sovereignty over Gaza.
@Seb, you make many good points. One additional point the man lives in England and has zero actual real world power.
@Ted cc Inna, Peloni
But, will the army cooperate in suppressing Pal terrorism outside of Jordan? Remember the Island of Peace Massacre and aftermath?
I like and respect him. But, he’s only one man. The hatred of Jews and of Israel is so intense in Jordan that there were demonstrations against receiving water they were desperate for! Are they not behind him only because he is against the monarchy? Will they support him the day after?
Who is next in line after him and does that same person or do those people share his friendliness towards Jews and Israel? After all, everybody knows that every Muslim and/or Arab leader is a heartbeat away from a coup or an assassination, especially in the Levant. Is that not so?
Moreover, is Trump the American president who would be willing to overturn the monarchy? The only campaign promise he ever broke and Kushner lied about him ever having made, to my knowledge, was the one where he promised Bibi – in a letter which Bibi produced – that he would support immediate sovereignty over at least part of YESHA.
The war will be over long before 2028. This is not something Israel can or should delegate in my opinion.
At a minimum, the status quo ante Oslo and the retreat from Southern Lebanon must be restored – without the antisemitic Jordanian and Ottoman legal precedents – for there to be even a temporary period of relative peace.
And to make permanent IDF martial law sustainable, in the long run – beyond questions of right – Jewish settlement must be restored and expanded in Gaza, at least.
Personally, I liked the platform of a party some years ago called, ‘The National Union” which called for annexation and settlement of ever contiguous territory from which israel is ever attacked (and the presumably forcible transfer of the local populations, or at least I would support that. How are they any different from the just as thoroughly Nazified ethnic Germans who were expelled from every country in Eastern Europe after WWII? Though if they accept Israel rule which would improve their lives economically and in other ways, that might not be necessary. Of course, “if pigs had wings, they’d fly”, as the saying goes.)
Ben-Gvir and Smotrich have been calling it. And Feiglin, though he’s out of office.
But, in practical terms, I agree with Friedman. Immediate application of sovereignty over Gaza with, at best, legal residence or the path to it, for the Gazan Arabs, letting those who wish to leave to leave, I would add, the day after is the only real solution leading to peace.
But, given the political divisions in Israeli society, American pressure aside, Bibi is wise to equivocate and propose solutions that are risible non-starters, like international administration or finding local Arabs who don’t hate Jews and Israel. Unity is necessary to fight the war. And de facto IDF “civil administration” must be installed on the ground.
@Ted, Today is a great day with the rescue of the hostages!!
What a complex brave operation from what I have seen.
It is sad one solider died!
@BEAR
Very few individuals are aware of what’s happening so don’t expect to hear about it from the Israeli media.
But it has been confirmed to me by one in the know that this is what will take place.
This is in addition to what Mudar tells me.
In fact this is the plan for the day after.
@Ted, honest fair question. So now in the deliberations and potential solutions for Gaza or any area Palestinians live are any Israelis in power, Palestinians, world diplomats bringing up Mudar Zaharan as a broker of power or leader anywhere.
If yes I have not heard on any of the Israeli TV channels (12, 13 or 14 ) that I watch nor in any of the wide range of publications I read.
To me unfortunately and Israelis I know (including well known ones) it sounds not very real. In my words a pipe dream. When I called Mudar on it in a direct communication (why his predictions never happen), his response was it took the Jews 2000 years.
@INNA, @ Seb
Mudar will become the president of Jordan. He will be entrusted with the role of running the PA. He will cancel all their policies and tell them that if they violate his dictates they will be deported and their families too. It will be a whole new ball game.
Perhaps 400,000 refugees from Tulkarn and Jenin will be deported to Jordan
He will also rule Gaza. in thew same way.
Israel will be the sovereign.
@Inna1 I agree with you.

@Ted Belman,
Regime change in Jordan, relocation of the Gaza and West Bank arab population to Jordan, giving them money, building dwellings for them – that’s the best Jordan Option. “Mudar Zahrran pledged to rule with an iron fist…” How can Israel rely on Zahrran to rule in Gaza and West Bank?
Frank Adam, I love your use of the word, “congruent”. It’s so mathematical!

Congruentulations!
And I can’t wondering just how coincidental was it that the combined Arab armies attacked again 11 months, not even a year, after Israeli Arabs were removed from martial law in 1966..

Still filling in the gaps.
It’s been one long war with the Muslims/Arabs which hasn’t ended.
The Grand Mufti was an officer in the Ottoman army in WWI.
This is about Islamic and Arab imperialism and colonialism not self – determination or land.
How ironic that Israel had to ignore the wishes of the native people of West Sahara to get Morocco on board with the Abraham Accords with the hypocritical blessing of the UN, of course.
Tks Soros & Obama!
If you check the terror statistics from within Israel during this period, you will see they were comparatively low though still too many. 1958 was an especially bad year with four major terror attacks. One year after the U.S. compelled Israel to withdraw. That’s the way it works. We retreat, they attack, and vice versa.* They really should have been expelled. Israel should return to this successful model and stop apologizing. If the enemy wants to call it apartheid, genocide, or a hot fudge sundae, let them. They can blow it out their ass. Israel just needs to be self-sufficient, well-armed, united, and sanction-proof.

@Frank Adam “Democracy” only includes citizens, however defined, always has.
David Friedman for President in 2028. No other American politician has called for sovereignty but him and Mike Huckabee.
A big problem in much of these columns is US and Israel-Palestine politics are NOT congruent but are being abused to score advantages in the other.
For Israel to declare sovereignty over the “Gaza Strip” and the “West Bank” NOW would be a tactical mistake politically as it would substantiate anti-Zionist lobbies complaint about apartheid. Sovereignty is NOT democracy and under [Jeffersonian] democracy all the five million Arabs of the 1967 territories would have to be given votes and welfare benefits with which they would promptly sabotage Israel’s nature and purpose as a Jewish majority state and ultimate haven for Diaspora Jews.
Sovereignty “from the river to the sea” is best left till the Iranan backed Arabs provoke another 1948. Then it will be either Israeli and Jordan survives, or Arab and Jordan disapppears too.
The Jordan Option always took the position that Friedman is now supporting. We advocaed that there be regime change in Jordan with the monarchy beng replaced with a Republic under the leadership of Mudar Zahrran.
In this scenario he will be responsible for A and B too. And possibly Gaza.
He has pedged to rule with an iron fist.
Almost by magic he has come up here with a strategy not just a tactic

This removed paralysis of intensity and opens a way forward
He may not be aware but I’m a working class context which this is not it was the essence of the United Front which was all about closing ranks in order that discussion be aided.
Biden cuts across this and this alone can cut across Biden
This paragraph is an important contribution
I disagree with the word radicalise at the end. He means however specifically rooted in the ideology of Jew hatred and in violence against Jews. Also specifically in islam
That’s the ideology also in the West Bank. A useful term of you explain its historical roots
There’s another paragraph very very valuable and useful
Where he describes the differing kinds of Zionism, I think that is useful for a Trotskyist as I am
