Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is on his way Tuesday to Riyadh where he faces a stern demand to break away from the Turkish-Qatari-Jordanian line-up fighting US political steps in the region.
DEBKAfile reports that Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman will not give way on this demand and, if Abbas holds out, the showdown could end in the Saudis cutting off assistance to the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian leader detoured to Qatar before travelling to Riyadh. The Saudis are meanwhile holding the Palestinian-Jordanian billionaire Sabih al-Masri in house arrest – not just against the surrender of his financial assets but as an implied hostage for Palestinian compliance with the crown prince’s political demands. As a key figure in the economies of Jordan and the Palestinians, each day of his confinement causes them grave difficulties.

@ Sebastien Zorn:
I use an Asus laptop. The other system which was being used until yesterday, always gave 4.5 minutes to rectify or add. This cursed gimmick gives you a pre-kindergarten math test and no way of correcting typos. One of my 3 efforts above, was because I had used to back arrow to get to my original post, still in it’s box, and I deleted everything in the box, expecting that it would be equally deleted on the page, as it seemed to be gone. But when I submitted, the three variations showed up.
I wonder why the system keeps switching from the one which allows over 4 mins to this captcha method. ? Perhaps there is some sort of hacking attempt going on which causes Ted to keep changing it.
@ Edgar G.:
What are you using?
When I use a tablet or android phone, I cannot correct anything. When I use a Chromebook computer laptop, it gives me 4 almost 5 minutes to correct, though I can’t add highlight, quote, bold or @somebody in edit mode.
This Capcha method leaves no way to correct typos. The above resulted from trying to change “Les” into “Let”. Maybe this is one of the intelligent machines which thinks for itself and decides what’s best for all mankind…..
Let us hope they will chose “nothing” which would put the kybosh on any “Palestinian” state. Let it be a “state” of mind, like that of thr Jews for 2000 years., but for them a bonus of another 10,000 years on top of thr 2000.

Let us hope they chose “nothing”, which would put the kybosh on any “Palestinian” state, rump or otherwise. Let it be a state of …”mind” instead, like that of the Jews for 2000 years.

It will be Abu Dis or NOTHING!
For Bin Salman, Abu Did will do.
