How one of Jerusalem's holiest sites became the center of a deadly crisis
The crisis at the Temple Mount continued over the weekend. A fragile resolution was reached late Monday evening.
By Sarah WildmanJul 25, 2017Erdogan is in every plot to eliminate Christianity, Judaism, and any other religion that exists, except Muslim, he's got a plan WW
A fight over a holy patch of ground in the center of the Old City of Jerusalem has triggered violence, political chaos, and religious strife. And now, despite a fragile truce, the situation still threatens to spiral further out of control.
The dispute began July 14 when a pair of Israeli police officers were shot and killed near the al-Aqsa Mosque, in the area known as the Temple Mount or Haram al-Sharif, one of the holiest places in the world for both Muslims and Jews. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu temporarily shut down all access to the site and installed metal detectors that anyone hoping to pray there would need to pass through. (Only Muslims are permitted to pray on the Temple Mount, by law, though non-Muslims may visit.)
The problem is that Israel made the moves without consulting the Muslim authorities who control access to the site, sparking protests and deadly violence across the region. The Waqf, the Muslim custodians of the site, called for Muslims to pray outside of the metal detectors - and essentially boycott prayer on the Temple Mount - until the dispute was resolved.
On Monday, late in the evening Jerusalem time, Netanyahu's government finally agreed to remove the metal detectors and find a different type of security measure.
It may have been too late, with the fight over access to the Temple Mount now spreading to both Jordan and Turkey, two of Israel's closest allies in the Muslim world. The latest blow came Tuesday,when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of trying to take control of the Temple Mount and upend the status quo.
"Everyone who knows Israel is aware that restrictions on al-Aqsa mosque are not due to safety concerns," he said, speaking to parliamentarians in Ankara.Erdogan added a call for all Muslims to head to Jerusalem. "Come, let's all protect Jerusalem," he also said.
The Muslim custodians of the site also expressed dismay at the Israeli government's compromise proposal of a separate but still technological security measure. They called for Muslims to continue to boycott the site until they had a chance to assess the new recommendations.
Netanyahu's metal detectors, in other words, had touched the third rail of Israeli politics: the very fragile 50-year-old status quo agreement that gives authorities from each of the world's three monotheistic religions control over Jerusalem's holy spaces. Here's how we got so close to the precipice, and why the situation is still not entirely under control.
Violence triggered more violence. Then things got even worse.
Anger swept the Muslim world after Israel installed the metal detectors, with protests extending all the way to Ankara and Amman.
In East Jerusalem and the West Bank, the tensions turned into actual bloodshed. On Friday, three Palestinians, including two teenagers, were reported shot dead during massive protests. At least 200 more were wounded across the region.
Also on Friday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced he was breaking off all diplomatic relations with Israel - including crucial conversations on security coordination - in protest over the new security measures on the Temple Mount.
The violence soon spread to neighboring Jordan, where on Sunday a handyman attacked an Israeli security guard at a residence on the Israeli embassy compound in the capital of Amman. The guard shot and killed both his would-be assailant and a bystander.
While it wasn't immediately clear if the attacker acted because of the Temple Mount controversy, the incident came in the wake of widespread protests in Amman over the crisis.
In the immediate aftermath of the incident, it wasn't clear if the Jordanians would let the guard out of the country. Israel, for its part, refused to turn over the guard, claiming diplomatic immunity.
By Monday morning, diplomats were zigzagging their way across the Middle East, trying to find a way to defuse the escalating tensions. Jason Greenblatt, the Trump administration's special envoy for the Middle East, arrived in Israel Monday morning and was set to also visit Amman. Israel sent its own envoy to Jordan to smooth things over with the Hashemite Kingdom's government…

This mistake has driven the Islamic Republic of Iran closer to Russia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In March 2023, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia agreed to reestablish diplomatic relations and reopen embassies after seven years of tensions. The major diplomatic breakthrough was negotiated by China. I didn't have that on my 2023 bingo card!
So as this three-year anniversary approaches, I want to take a moment to applaud the courageous leaders President Trump assembled to achieve this historic peace in the Middle East. (RELATED: BRYAN LEIB: Antisemitism Is Thriving In The Democratic Party)
In addition, Jared Kushner, fmr. Ambassador David Friedman, Robert Greenway, Avi Berkowitz, Jason Greenblatt and many others also deserve to be recognized for the leadership roles they played in bringing lasting peace to the Middle East.
Looking forward, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is most likely the next Arab majority country to officially make a peace or normalization agreement with Israel but the chances that the inept Biden Administration will be the broker is slim.
Similar to the Israelis enjoying behind-the-scenes friendships and business relationships with the Emiratis and Bahrainis, the same is true for the Israelis and Saudis. I am confident that the Israelis and Saudis will reach a historic peace/normalization agreement sooner than later.
One thing is for sure - President Trump and his team showed the world that peace is possible in the Middle East and for that, they will go down in the history books as the ultimate peace makers.

Trump Slammed by Jewish Allies, Officials and Former Envoys for Hosting Kanye West, Nick Fuentes

Former President Donald Trump has come under a barrage of criticism from Jewish supporters and former envoys over his decision to host antisemitic rapper Kanye West and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump's former ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, blasted the move.
"Even a social visit from an antisemite like Kanye West and human scum like Nick Fuentes is unacceptable," Friedman said in one of several tweets. "I urge you to throw those bums out, disavow them and relegate them to the dustbin of history where they belong."
Trump's Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt called on Trump to condemn West and Fuentes, saying the dinner "should not have happened."
"I hope President Trump condemns Fuentes, West and their ilk for what they are - haters of Jews and haters of the foundations of the United States of America. People like Fuentes are dangerous to the United States. The President Trump that I know would recognize that and issue this condemnation," Greenblatt wrote in an oped published in CNN.
Greenblatt noted, however, Trump's "extremely positive record with respect to" Jews and Israel.
Elan Carr, who Trump appointed as the State Department's antisemitism czar, expressed his disappointment over the dinner on Twitter.
"No responsible American, and certainly no former President, should be cavorting with the likes of Nick Fuentes and Kanye West," Carr wrote.
"To placate antisemitism is to promote antisemitism. President Trump must condemn these dangerous men and their disgusting and un-American views."
The Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), an umbrella organization representing over 2000 prominent Orthodox Jewish rabbis, called on Trump to publicly and formally "repudiate the antisemitic rhetoric of two leading purveyors of antisemitism."
The Orthodox Jewish community was largely supportive of Trump during his presidency. Orthodox Jewry tends to vote Republican, unlike the majority of American Jewry which votes Democrat.
"A former President does not enjoy the luxury of meeting over dinner with any oddball, especially when that fool is a self-declared hater," CJV Vice President Rabbi Dov Fischer said in a statement.
"It was wrong for former President Obama to affiliate with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan. It is wrong for President Biden to praise Jew-hater Rashida Tlaib and fail to exert his leadership to rein in the Jew-hatred of Ilhan Omar. And it is wrong when President Trump breaks bread with such individuals."
CJV Southern Regional Vice President Rabbi Moshe B. Parnes said it was "contradictory" for someone "who has done so much for the State of Israel and for the Jewish community" to meet with people who have expressed "open hostility against the Jewish people."
"Trump should have condemned West's antisemitism before the meeting, and repeated it at the meeting, so it is past due for him to speak out. As he said himself when he introduced his Executive Order on Combating Anti-Semitism, 'the vile, hate-filled poison of anti-Semitism must be condemned and confronted everywhere and anywhere it appears.'"
Morton Klein, the president of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) who recently gave former Trump a special award, also denounced the move.
Klein told Breitbart News Trump had "legitimized the Jew-hatred of Ye and Nick Fuentes."

Jewish Democrats: Trump is biggest threat to American Jews
Jewish Democrats have "an obligation to work to defeat Donald Trump in 2020."
The Jewish Democratic Council of America on Tuesday launched its 2020 campaign, directly targeting President Donald Trump as "the biggest threat to American Jews."
In a 60-second video ad, JDCA recalls the tragedies of the past several years, including the 2017 violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, at which 32-year-old Heather Heyer was killed. At that march, participants chanted "Jews will not replace us."
The video shows scenes from the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and highlights the affidavit posted by the shooter, in which he quoted Trump's sentiments about immigrants calling them, "immigrant invaders" and "infestation."
Eleven people were killed in the Pittsburgh massacre and six more injured.
The ad goes on to claim that now the president "is directly aiming his dangerous rhetoric at Jews," quoting his statement earlier this year that, "Any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat - it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty."
JDCA chairman Ron Klein said that Jewish Democrats have "an obligation to work to defeat Donald Trump in 2020," saying that he believes the president's "bigotry and lies directly contribute to increased violence and antisemitism in our country."
Similarly, Halie Soifer, the council's executive director, said that "antisemitic dog-whistles, conspiracy theories, bigotry and hateful rhetoric and policies [that are] permeating through the GOP begin with him."
JDCA has identified 14 key states and regions in which to focus its efforts, including vital swing states such as Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
According to a poll by the Jewish Electorate Institute, 73% of Jewish voters feel less secure than they did two years ago. And 59% of Jews blame Trump for the Pittsburgh and subsequent Poway attacks.
Some 88% of American Jews said that they feel antisemitism is a problem, as reported by the American Jewish Committee in its 2019 Survey of American Jewish Attitudes about Antisemitism.
Meanwhile earlier on Monday, Jason Greenblatt, Trump's former special envoy to the Middle East, announced that he had joined the Republican Jewish Coalition's board of directors.

Avi Berkowitz meets with Netanyahu to discuss Trump's peace plan
Berkowitz is also expected to see Benny Gantz, leader of the Blue and White party, before returning to Washington.
Avi Berkowitz, assistant to US President Donald Trump and special representative for international negotiations, met with Benjamin Netanyahu for dinner at the prime minister's residence on Monday to discuss the Trump administration's peace plan, The Jerusalem Post has confirmed.
It was not immediately clear how long the meeting lasted and what was specifically discussed.
The visit has marked Berkowitz's first trip to Israel since he formally succeeded Jason Greenblatt in November. It comes amid speculations that the US administration might release its peace plan even before Israel's upcoming elections in March.
The US peace team originally planned to roll out the political part of the plan last summer but decided to wait until a new government in Israel was sworn in. Since then, Israel has been experiencing an unprecedented political deadlock, and now facing a third round of elections.
The peace team is, therefore, facing a decision between two difficult choices. The first is releasing the plan despite the political stalemate in Israel, which could hurt the prospects of its success. The second is to wait until Israel elections in March, which could result in a deadlock yet again. In that case, it might be too late to release the plan so close to the US presidential elections in November.
While it has not been publicly announced yet, Berkowitz is also expected to meet with Benny Gantz, leader of the Blue and White party, before returning to Washington.
In his recent visit to the region, together with senior adviser Jared Kushner in October, the two met both with Netanyahu and with Gantz.

ared Kushner arrives in Morocco, meets MBZ and foreign minister of Oman
An administration official told the Post that the meetings, aimed to build momentum after the Bahrain workshop, were "extremely productive."
Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's senior advisor, arrived in Morocco Thursday and met with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ) of the United Arab Emirates, an administration official told The Jerusalem Post.
In addition, he met with Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah, Oman's minister responsible for foreign affairs. Kushner was joined by special envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt, special representative for Iran Brian Hook and deputy assistant to the president Avi Berkowitz. While it was initially expected that the group would meet MBZ in the UAE, the meeting ultimately took place in Morocco.
According to the official, the meetings were "extremely productive," and came as a follow-up to Bahrain's "Peace and Prosperity" workshop. It is not immediately clear when the peace team will also meet with a Moroccan official.
Last week, an administration official told the Post that the visit is intended to finalize the economic component of the peace plan and discuss possible resources for funding the administration's vision.
"We are trying to keep the momentum of the Bahrain workshop," he added.
The four US envoys also discussed where the funds should be based, and support locating them in Bahrain to show that countries in the region stand behind the plan, the official said.
In recent weeks, the US has received feedback from several Middle East countries on the draft of the plan that was presented at the workshop. Now, they hope to finalize it.
The meetings in Morocco end a busy week, in which the peace team met with six different leaders in five countries. On Tuesday, the team arrived in the region and met with Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia.
On Wednesday, the team met in Jordan with King Abdullah, followed by a meeting in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer and US Ambassador David Friedman attended the meeting, as well.
On Thursday afternoon, they also met with President Al-Sisi of Egypt, before leaving for Morocco.
An administration official said earlier this week that the Middle East team will report back to the president, the vice president, the secretary of state and the national security advisor upon returning "to discuss the many potential next steps to expand upon the success of the Bahrain workshop."

Switzerland and the Netherlands have frozen funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) after an internal report alleging sexual misconduct and corruption among the agency's top officials was leaked to the press.
Switzerland yesterday announced that it would suspend its funding to UNRWA, with the Swiss Foreign Ministry writing in an email to Agence France Presse (AFP) that though it had already made its annual contribution of 22.3 million Swiss francs ($22.5 million) to the refugee agency, any additional donations would be suspended.
Meanwhile the Netherlands - which donates around $15 million annually to UNRWA - also announced yesterday that it would suspend its financial contributions to the agency. Netherlands' Minister for International Aid, Sigrid Kaag, told Dutch broadcaster NOS that the suspension would remain in force "until we get satisfactory answers" about the allegations detailed in the file.
The damning report, leaked to the international press on Monday, alleged that senior officials "have engaged in sexual misconduct, nepotism, retaliation, discrimination and other abuses of authority [...] for personal gain, to suppress legitimate dissent, and to otherwise achieve their personal objectives, jeopardizing the credibility and interests of the agency".
The report named UNRWA Commissioner General Pierre Krahenbuhl, as well as his "inner circle" comprised of Deputy Sandra Mitchell, Chief of Staff Hakam Shahwan and senior adviser Maria Mohammedi.
Krahenbuhl is alleged to have been involved in a relationship with Mohammedi, for whom he reportedly created the position of senior adviser within UNRWA, fast-tracking her appointment and enabling her to travel with him extensively on business.
A probe into the report's findings has now been launched by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS).
READ: Austria donates $2.1m for UNRWA health services
Following the emergence of the report, US Special Representative for International Negotiations, Jason Greenblatt, and former US envoy to the UN, Nikki Haley, were quick to criticise UNRWA and its officials. Greenblatt slammed the agency's model as "broken, unsustainable and based on an endless[ly] expanding [number] of beneficiaries," while Haley claimed that "this is exactly why [the administration of US President Donald Trump] stopped [UNRWA's] funding".
Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, has since joined these critics, calling on the international community to defund UNRWA altogether. "The report reveals alarming, but not surprising, findings," Danon claimed, adding that "in addition to propagating false information about its refugee population, UNRWA has in recent years worked to redirect world funds to continue this corruption industry that has served its leadership."

He continued: "The international community, which generously finances UNRWA, must immediately suspend the budgets assigned to the agency. The aid money should be gradually transferred to the UNHCR [UN High Commissioner for Refugees] instead of helping the UNRWA leadership continue engaging in a series of ethical offenses."
UNRWA: Situation in Gaza moving from 'bad to worse'
Danon has long been a fierce critic of UNRWA. In May, the UN Security Council held a special session on UNRWA, during which Danon slammed the agency for "empowering the refugee problem for years, instead of trying to solve it while adopting a unilateral political position".
"The organization's schools have been transformed into terror and incitement infrastructures, with textbooks distributed on the ground denying Israel's existence," he continued, adding that "UNRWA failed to rehabilitate the Gaza Strip and succeeded only in inciting violence against the State of Israel."
"UNRWA's mandate must come to an end," Danon concluded.
Danon was also a vocal supporter of the Trump administration's 2018 decision to defund UNRWA. In January of that year, the US announced it would only give the agency half of the aid it had planned to donate, before declaring in August it would "end funding altogether".
Speaking in January, Danon praised the funding cuts, saying that "UNRWA has proven time and again to be an agency that misuses the humanitarian aid of the international community and instead supports anti-Israel propaganda, perpetuates the plight of Palestinian refugees and encourages hate."

White House denies plans for summit with Arab leaders to roll out peace plan
US official refutes Israeli newspaper report that Camp David conference in the works, says envoys will discuss 'next steps' with president after visit to Jordan, Israel
A White House official on Wednesday evening denied a report by an Israeli newspaper that the United States was planning a conference with Arab leaders at Camp David, during which US President Donald Trump would be rolling out his plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
"No summit has currently been planned," the official said in a statement to The Times of Israel.
The report Wednesday by the Yedioth Ahronoth daily said invitations to the conference would be extended by Jared Kushner, Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, as he visits Israel and the Middle East this week to drum up support for the plan.
The official said the White House's Middle East team - which includes Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, who is also in the region - would report back to Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the National Security Agency upon returning to the US "to discuss the many potential next steps to expand upon the success of the Bahrain workshop."
Besides Israel, Kushner and the US peace team are set to travel to Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
The Yedioth report had claimed that during the purported conference, which it said would be held before the general elections in Israel on September 17, Trump would outline the broad strokes of his plan without making any binding proposals.
US officials have previously stated the plan would not be released until after the Israeli elections.

Palestinian capital in Jerusalem is 'aspiration not a right', US' Greenblatt says
US Special Representative for International Negotiations, Jason Greenblatt, has said that the creation of a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem is an "aspiration not a right".
Speaking at the United Nations Security Council yesterday, Greenblatt said that while "it is true that the PLO [Palestine Liberation Organisation] and the Palestinian Authority [PA] continue to assert that East Jerusalem must be a capital for the Palestinians, [...] let's remember, an aspiration is not a right."
Greenblatt also shunned international law as the foundation of any future peace agreement: "We have all heard cogent arguments claiming international law says one thing or another about this or that aspect of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Some of those arguments are persuasive, at least to certain audiences. But none of them are conclusive."
"There is no judge, jury, or court in the world [to which] that the parties involved have agreed to give jurisdiction in order to decide whose interpretations are correct," he added.
International law considers East Jerusalem occupied territory after it was captured by Israel during the 1967 War; it likewise does not recognised Israel's annexation of the city in 1980.
The top US envoy also appeared to rule out international consensus, which has long worked on the premise of dividing or sharing Jerusalem as the capital of both Israel and a future Palestinian state.
"If a so-called international consensus had been able to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it would have done so decades ago. It didn't," he quipped.

Jared Kushner to finalize Palestinian economic plan on Middle East tour
Palestinians poured scorn on the Trump administration's $50 billion investment plan to help achieve Middle East peace, but U.S. Gulf Arab allies said the economic initiative had promise if a political settlement is reached
White House senior adviser Jared Kushner will lead a U.S. delegation on a tour of the Middle East to finalize details of his proposed $50 billion economic development plan for the Palestinians, Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon, an administration official said on Sunday.
Kushner, Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt, State Department official Brian Hook and Kushner aide Avi Berkowitz are expected to make make stops in Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, the official said.
They leave late this month and return to Washington in early August.
The official said the purpose of the trip is to "continue on the momentum that was created at the workshop in Bahrain and finalize the economic portion of the plan."
They will also discuss the possibility of locating the development fund in Bahrain, the official said.
Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law and the plan's main architect, sought to build support for his ambitious economic proposals for the Palestinian territories at an international meeting in Bahrain in June.
Palestinians poured scorn on the Trump administration's $50 billion investment plan to help achieve Middle East peace, but U.S. Gulf Arab allies said the economic initiative had promise if a political settlement is reached.
Kushner and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin last week discussed creation of the fund with World Bank President David Malpass, the official said. The World Bank has a role in managing the fund.
The delegation was not expected to discuss Trump's long-awaited political plan for the Middle East, and when it will be released remains unclear.

Senior US team to visit Middle East for talks on Washington's peace plan
Envoys Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt to visit Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, starting from next week
Senior US officials are set arrive in the region next week to further discuss the Trump administration's forthcoming Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, a senior US official told The Times of Israel Sunday.
The US delegation includes US President Donald Trump's senior adviser Jared Kushner, US special peace envoy Jason Greenblatt, Kushner's senior aid Avi Berkowitz, and Brian Hook, the administration's point man on Iran.
They are set to travel to Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, said the senior official, who asked not to be named, as he was not authorized to speak about the visit to press.
"The purpose of the visit is to follow up on the Bahrain workshop," the official said, referring to last month's "Peace to Prosperity" summit in Manama, during which the administration presented the economic part of its two-pronged peace proposal.
"We would like to finalize the plan's economic portion, including to discuss the potential placement of the investments," the official said, referring to the $50 billion investment packaged for the Palestinians and the wider region proposed by the plan.
The delegation's trip is to be understood as the conclusion of the first stage of the peace plan's unveiling, but not yet as the overture to the presentation of the political part, the official stresses.

"Religious Fanatics Have Hijacked America's Israel Policy. And They're Not Even Evangelicals"
Trump's extremist, maverick pro-settler envoys, David Friedman and Jason Greenblatt, aren't resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They're fueling it - and Congress should investigate
With ten-pound hammers in their hands and ecstatic religious-nationalist zeal in their hearts, U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and White House Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt stood underneath the most religiously volatile place on earth, and smashed a wall - and with it, any last semblance of reasonable U.S. policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The two senior U.S. diplomats were among the guests of honor, together with Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson, at the inauguration of an archaeological tunnel in East Jerusalem that unearths a path claimed to lead from a ritual cleansing pool to the Second Jewish Temple.
There could not be a more apt metaphor for the Trump administration's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Trump's team, led by ideologically pro-settler right-wing extremists, has no interest in conflict resolution. Rather, you could call their approach "conflict contribution." They are intentionally contributing to the conflict by adding fuel to its fire.
Contrary to common belief, what drives Trump's aides is not innocent ineptness. Clumsy and ill-informed as their policy may seem, it is deliberate.
It's goal oriented, focused on forcing Palestinians to surrender their national aspirations, give up on the dream of independence and statehood, and succumb to permanent Israeli settlements and occupation.
Follow the outrageous statements of Friedman, Greenblatt, and Trump's policy assistant and son-in-law Jared Kushner, who nominally leads this team (though Friedman is the architect of the policy). Scrutinize their words and actions, and you cannot reach a different conclusion.
The three, with the ignorant blessing of Donald Trump, have in the past couple of years swung a sledgehammer at two decades of U.S. policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
That policy, embraced by both Republican and Democratic administrations, endorsed the two-state solution and rejected measures that would undermine or prejudice it, such as West Bank settlement construction.

CUFI is exempt from paying U.S. taxes and from publicly disclosing its finances because it is officially registered as a church, though it is often likened to an arm of the pro-Israel lobby in the United States and actively promotes and funds illegal West Bank settlements. CUFI also advocates for Israeli sovereignty over all of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount and the construction of a Third Temple.
Much has been written about CUFI's influence in the Republican Party, which began under the George W. Bush administration soon after its founding. As journalist Max Blumenthal noted in a 2006 article for The Nation: "Over the past months, the White House has convened a series of off-the-record meetings about its policies in the Middle East with leaders of Christians United for Israel (CUFI)."
As a result of these meetings, CUFI aligned itself tightly with the neoconservatives that were well represented in the Bush administration, even appointing neoconservative and Christian Zionist Gary Bauer to its board and naming Bauer the first director of its lobbying arm, the CUFI Action Fund. Bauer is a founding member of the highly controversial and now-defunct neoconservative group, Project for a New American Century (PNAC), and has also served on the executive board of the neoconservative group Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD).
CUFI has since won powerful allies and counts neoconservative Elliott Abrams; former CIA director James Woosley; neoconservative archon Bill Kristol; former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee; Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Ted Cruz (R-TX); Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; and U.S. Vice President Mike Pence among its staunchest supporters. At a CUFI summit last year, Netanyahu described CUFI as a "vital part of Israel's national security."
In addition, CUFI has close ties to casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, the top donor to President Trump and the entire Republican Party. Adelson even received a special award from Hagee at a 2014 CUFI event. "I've never had a greater warm feeling than being honored by Pastor Hagee," said a beaming Sheldon Adelson at the time.
At the most recent CUFI summit, held on Monday, the Trump administration sent Pence, Pompeo, U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, Assistant to the President and Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt, and National Security Advisor John Bolton, all of whom spoke at the summit.
CUFI's 2019 Washington Summit is days away and includes speakers @VP @Mike_Pence, @SecPompeo, @USAmbIsrael David Friedman, NSA @AmbJohnBolton, Assistant to President Trump @JdGreenblatt45, @DennisPrager, and @PastorJohnHagee.

In addition to its own influence as an organization, the group has made Hagee himself a major political player. In 2007, then-Senator Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) compared Hagee to Moses, stating:
I want to take to opportunity to describe Pastor Hagee in the terms the Torah used to describe Moses. He is an Ish Elohim. A man of God. And those words really do fit him. And I have something else. Like Moses, he's become the leader of a mighty multitude. Even greater than the multitude that Moses led from Egypt to the Promised Land."

As of Tuesday morning, Garrison was invited – he posted the invite he got on Twitter – and people in the administration were privately defending the invitation.
>OF COURSE, it doesn't take much to see why the cartoon is considered anti-Semitic. It shows the Rothschilds – a Jewish family – controlling George Soros, another Jew, on puppet strings, who, in return, has David Petraeus and H.R. McMaster wearing military garb, attached to puppet strings. Jews controlling the strings of government is a decades old anti-Semitic meme.
BUT IT DID TAKE ALL DAY to get the White House to engage on this subject. At first, they responded to questions about Garrison by offering a boilerplate statement saying that President DONALD TRUMP "wants to engage directly" with people who have experienced social media bias. But they wouldn't say if and why he was invited, punting on the guest list.
>WE THEN started asking questions directly of people who have hailed Trump as a leader quashing anti-Semitism: Jared Kushner, Jason Greenblatt and members of Congress.

Trump sends top officials to attend Christian Zionist conference
A number of senior officials in the Trump administration will be in attendance at a major gathering this week of powerful lobby group Christians United for Israel (CUFI), reported Haaretz.
According to the paper, the conference will feature speeches by Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, as well as by Trump's national security advisor, John Bolton, his special envoy to the Middle East, Jason Greenblatt, and his Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman.
The annual summit, held in Washington D.C., will take place today and tomorrow, attracting thousands of evangelical Christians from across the US.
Other speakers at the event include Republican senators Ted Cruz of Texas, Marco Rubio of Florida, Roy Blunt of Missouri and Tim Scott of South Carolina. Although CUFI describes itself as a bipartisan organisation, no Democratic senators are scheduled to speak.
According to Haaretz, the decision to send senior administration officials to the CUFI gathering is "no coincidence", since evangelicals "are a key voting bloc for Trump and the Republicans".
"Around 80 per cent of white evangelicals voted for Trump in 2016, helping him secure victories in several swing states", the paper stated. "The consensus among U.S. political analysts is that the president will need similar or greater support among evangelicals to win a second term next year".
When the Trump administration relocated the US embassy to Jerusalem, CUFI founder Texas pastor John Hagee gave a speech at the opening ceremony, declaring: "there has never been a more pro-Israeli president than Donald Trump".
The paper added that for Trump, "the support of the overwhelming majority of white evangelicals - those who voted for him in 2016 and who love his Israel policies - is crucial". According to recent reports, the president's re-election campaign will seek to mobilise even more evangelical voters.

U.S. Officials To Recognize Jerusalem Holy Site, Facing NGO Pushback
A delegation of U.S. officials will soon attend a ceremony to recognize a Jerusalem holy site that dates back to the second temple era. United States Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, White House envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt, and several Israeli ministers are expected to attend the dedication of the nearly 2,000 year old Pilgrimage Road. The site is located in the City of David, which is part Jerusalem's Old City.
The new U.S. standard is facing pushback, according to several reports, because it's the first time the U.S. will recognize an old city holy site. It's a new standard that started with the Trump Administration, from the U.S. Embassy move to Jerusalem in 2018 and has continued each day on the world stage. However, Emek Shaveh, an Israeli NGO, is condemning the ceremony because it considers the holy site part of "disputed territory."
The NGO's statement reads:
"The use of archaeology by Israel and the settlers as a political tool is a part of a strategy to shape the historic city and unilaterally entrench Israeli sovereignty over ancient Jerusalem. It is a process which is likely to produce devastating results for both Israel and the Palestinians. It is inexcusable to ignore the Palestinian residents of Silwan, carrying out extensive excavations of an underground city and to use such excavations as part of an effort to tell a historic story that is exclusively Jewish in a 4,000 year-old city with a rich and diverse cultural and religious past."

US' Greenblatt: Illegal Israel settlements are 'neighbourhoods and cities'
One of the top envoys to US President Donald Trump, Jason Greenblatt, has said that he prefers to call Israel's illegal West Bank settlements "neighbourhoods and cities".
The US Special Representative for International Negotiations made the comments while addressing the "Israel Hayom Forum for US-Israel Relation,," which was held in Jerusalem yesterday.
Discussing the prospect of peace between Israel and Palestine, Greenblatt said that "we might get there if people stop pretending settlements, or what I prefer to call 'neighbourhoods and cities,' are the reason for the lack of peace".
Israel currently has over 500 settlements across the occupied West Bank, which are inhabited by approximately one million settlers. These settlements are illegal under international law, which forbids the transfer of civilian populations into occupied territory.
Many of these settlements have grown into "settlement blocs", which extend far beyond the Green Line and cut deep into the West Bank, engulfing land on which any future Palestinian state will be built. The question of what to do with these settlements has proved a stumbling block in several peace negotiations, with the Oslo Accords designating the settlements a "final status" issue to be resolved at a later date.
Greenblatt did not explicitly provide an alternative "reason for the lack of peace", but implied that the Palestinians were at fault. The US envoy used his speech to lambast the Palestinian Authority (PA) for its decision to boycott this week's "Peace to Prosperity" conference - which discussed the economic aspects of the long-awaited "deal of the century" in Bahraini capital Manama - saying: "It is a shame that the Palestinian Authority chose not to attend [the conference] and tried to convince others not to attend. They distorted our [the US'] message and attempted to undermine our progress but they did not succeed."

Abbas: Palestinians are not Kushner's slaves
The PA ministry accused the US administration of denying the existence of the Palestinian people and dealing with them as a "group of people."
The Palestinian people need an improved economy, but "before anything, there must be a political solution," Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on Sunday, warning that the US-led economic workshop in Bahrain would fail.
In a briefing with foreign press, Abbas said that for the United States to turn the whole process from a political issue to an economic one, "we will not accept this, and we will not attend Manama - and we do not encourage anyone to go. We are confident that the conference will not be successful."
He said that he does not feel obligated to accept anything proposed by America.
"We will not accept America to be the sole peaceful mediator for the Middle East cause… We don't trust the Americans alone," Abbas continued. "We want Europe, Russia, the UN, [and] China, and we need Britain and Germany, as well. We will not be slaves or servants to [US special envoys] Jared Kushner, Jason Greenblatt or [US Ambassador to Israel] David Friedman. They are the ones making the judgment, and we will not accept this or let them say whatever they want."
Abbas said that the PA is open to receiving help from Bahrain or any other place, but it is against what is taking place in Manama and the "Deal of the Century."
Reacting to leaks of the plan that will be presented in Bahrain, Abbas pushed back at Greenblatt and Kushner's allegations that the PA is corrupt. He said that he would challenge anyone to tell him that a "person in the PA is corrupt and we have not taken him to judiciary."
Abbas also said that he is not afraid of the result of other Arab states attending the US-led Bahrain economic conference.
"There will not be normalization between the Arab states and Israel," he said, noting that each Arab country has its own reason for attending the conference.
"There will not be normalization of relations with Israel before there is a solution between Israel and the Palestinians."
Earlier in the day, Palestinian officials likewise stepped up their attacks on the economic portion of the US administration's Middle East peace plan, calling it "Balfour Declaration No. 2" - referring to the 1917 public statement by the British government announcing support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine.
Meanwhile, Palestinian factions called for launching three days of protests in the West Bank and Gaza Strip against the Bahrain conference, which is expected to be launched in Manama on Tuesday. The factions and Palestinian officials in Ramallah expressed disappointment over Jordan's and Egypt's decisions to participate in the conference despite Palestinian calls to boycott it.

Trump envoy Jason Greenblatt, seen in 2017 with occupied East Jerusalem's Dome of the Rock behind him, may be helping Israel violate US arms export law. (US Embassy)
Jason Greenblatt, the Trump administration's "peace process" envoy, met last week with Gilad Erdan, Israel's minister of strategic affairs and public security who oversees Israel's global operation to combat BDS - the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement for Palestinian rights.
Greenblatt took to Twitter to laud his "great meeting" with Erdan to discuss BDS, which he claimed is "anti-Semitic and hurts Israelis and Palestinians." He also reaffirmed the "unshakable bond between our two countries."
If Greenblatt and Erdan discussed coordinating efforts between Israel and the United States to counter BDS, then Greenblatt may be assisting a foreign government to violate a little known provision of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA).
According to this provision, if the president determines that a foreign country "engaged in a consistent pattern of acts of intimidation or harassment directed against individuals in the United States," then "no letters of offer may be issued, no credits or guarantees may be extended, and no export licenses may be issued" for the export of US arms to that country.
The defense department, which oversees the implementation of the law along with the State Department, defines AECA as the "basic US law providing the authority and general rules for the conduct of foreign military sales and commercial sales of defense articles, defense services and training."
As the elemental law governing foreign countries' eligibility to purchase US weapons or receive them at US taxpayer expense, Israel's violation of any aspect of this law could have enormous repercussions for bilateral relations and its ability to acquire a large portion of the weaponry that enables it to oppress the Palestinian people.
Previous advocacy efforts to hold Israel accountable for violating the AECA have largely centered on drawing attention to its impermissible usages of US weapons against Palestinian civilians.
The AECA strictly limits the usage of US weapons to "internal security," "legitimate self-defense," preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and participation in collective security arrangements.
However, despite the overwhelming evidence that Israel systematically misuses US weapons to commit gross human rights violations against Palestinians, the threat of sanctioning Israel for violating AECA has only been employed sporadically by the United States and only ever implemented by the Reagan administration in response to Israeli military actions in Lebanon and Iraq.

Arab League Leader Says There Will Be No Peace Deal in Middle East without Palestinian State
Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said at an event Monday that a peace deal in the Middle East would not be achieved without the establishment of a Palestinian state. President Donald Trump is expected to introduce a "Middle East peace plan" later in June during a peace workshop in Bahrain. But Aboul Gheit said no such deal will be made if Israel does not give Palestine the territories it took control of in 1967. The Arab League leader also said that Israel will have to allow for Jerusalem to be the new Palestinian state's capital. "Whatever is rejected by the Palestinian or the Arab side is unacceptable," Aboul Gheit said at the Arab League event in Cairo, Egypt. "What is acceptable from our side as Arabs as a solution is the establishment of a Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967, borders, with Jerusalem as its capital."
Aboul Gheit then pointed to the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative as the only acceptable plan moving forward. The 2002 Arab Peace Initiative plan was introduced by Saudi Arabia, a nation that has openly advocated for Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank since 1967. "If [Israel] chooses the only reasonable and accepted way from our side as Arabs, which is the establishment of a Palestinian state ... it will be accepted in the region as a normal regional partner," he continued. Egypt, Jordan and Morocco are expected to join the United States' conference in Bahrain, Reuters reported, citing a White House official.
"This is exciting - an opportunity of a generation," White House Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt wrote Sunday in a CNN Op-Ed. "We are grateful to the Kingdom of Bahrain for extending the invitation to [the Trump administration] to host the June 25 and 26 workshop with them for the benefit of Palestinians and others in the region, offering us a unique opportunity to communicate our economic vision. "This workshop will facilitate discussions on an ambitious, achievable vision and framework for a prosperous future for Palestinians," Greenblatt continued. "President Trump is informed by previous attempts at peace but not encumbered by them. He is seeking a realistic resolution and a brighter future for all those burdened with this conflict."

Top Trump envoy backs Friedman on West Bank annexation
US Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt has stood behind comments made by US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, in which the latter stated Israel has "the right" to annex parts of the occupied West Bank.
Speaking yesterday at a conference held by Israel's English language daily the Jerusalem Post in New York, Greenblatt said: "I will let David's comments stand for themselves. I think he said them elegantly and I support his comments."
Greenblatt was referring to an interview with Friedman in the New York Times last weekend, in which the ambassador claimed that, "under certain circumstances, I think Israel has the right to retain some, but unlikely all, of the West Bank". Friedman was understood to be referring to Israel's illegal settlement blocs, several of which extend deep into the occupied West Bank and which Israel seeks to formally annex under any future peace settlement.
Though the US has since stressed there has been "no change" to its West Bank policy, Friedman's comments have been seen as evidence of the current administration's willingness to support Israel's ambitions.
Greenblatt also yesterday spoke about the "deal of the century", the long-awaited US peace plan he has designed alongside senior advisor to the US President and Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
"I think the logic would still dictate that if we wanted to wait until a new [Israeli] government is formed," Greenblatt explained, "we really do have to wait until potentially as late as November 6?. His comments have been seen as acknowledgement that the "deal of the century" may have to be delayed, given that Israel will once again head to the polls on 17 September.

Greenblatt: Trump can run for reelection and push peace plan at same time
He discussed the timeline to roll out the political component of the peace plan and said it might be postponed until a new government in Israel is formed, around November 6.
NEW YORK - Jason Greenblatt, US President Donald Trump's special envoy for international negotiations, said at the Jerusalem Post Annual Conference in New York that he agrees with the comments of Ambassador David Friedman, who said last week that Israel has the right to annex parts of the West Bank.
"I support his comment," Greenblatt said. "I will let David's comment stand for itself."
He discussed the timeline to roll out the political component of the peace plan and said it might be postponed until a new government in Israel is formed, around November 6. He added that after the late delay in rolling out the plan due to Israel's April election, the Trump administration would not lay out in advance a specific timeline.
"Now we are focusing on [the] Bahrain [workshop]," he added.
Asked by The Jerusalem Post's editor-in-chief, Yaakov Katz, if releasing a plan during an election year is possible, Greenblatt said that the president "can do a lot of things [at the same time]. We don't think that elections campaign could stop the progress." He added that Trump "is absolutely involved" in the process.
He addressed the upcoming economic workshop in Bahrain and said: "Saeb Erekat and others are distorting our message. They're saying essentially that the Bahrain conference is about buying the Palestinians off. Absolutely not true."
"The Bahrain summit is aimed to show what could happen to the Palestinian economy if there's a peace agreement," he continued. "We understand completely that there is no economic vision that'll work without a peace agreement. But we also want to make the point that there will be no peace agreement that works without true economic vision. We're trying to break the cycle of aid and dependency and create an economy. They work hand in hand."
He refused to share specific details from the plan and explained: "We hold something very delicate in our hands. If we keep a tight lid on it, we increase chances of success."
Greenblatt addressed the disengagement between the Trump administration and the Palestinians that there are two kinds of Palestinians. The first, he said, is the Palestinian leadership, "which we engaged with throughout 2017 and we pretty much went as far as we were able to go with them by the time of the Jerusalem announcement."
"I think that the Palestinian leadership negotiating style is such that they explain what they want and they're unwilling to engage beyond that," he added. "And that doesn't mean they're not going to compromise, but they have a certain style of negotiation. So, if anybody says we did not engage with the Palestinian Authority - we did for a year. We understand all of their wishes, their desires and their methods."
He added that for the past three years, he and Jared Kushner had many conversations with Palestinians. "Palestinians, who I don't want to pretend for a second do not desire many of the things their leadership wants," he said. "They don't come to my office and thank me for the Jerusalem announcement, obviously. They explain what they're looking for in terms of the state, in terms of other desires, but they're grateful that the president is focused on this. They want a better future.
"They're frustrated terribly with their leadership," Greenblatt continued. "The problem is when they leave my office, they say, 'please don't tweet that I was there.' And that's unfortunate. But I respect that."
Greenblatt stressed that the US does not seek to interfere in the Palestinian political process.
"We are not looking for a regime change, and we understand that there's leadership there that gets to make decisions," he said. "Whether there should be a new election or not, I'll stay out of the politics of the Palestinian Authority, but there's no question that the people deserve to see what's in the plan and decide for themselves whether it's for them, whether they want to do this or don't want to do this. The same is true of the Israeli public."

Jordan king meets Kushner, urges formation of Palestinian state with E al-Quds as capital
Jordan's King Abdullah II has called for the formation of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 boundaries with East Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital, in what appears to be at odds with Washington's upcoming proposal on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
He made the remarks in a meeting with a US delegation headed by US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, along with Middle East Envoy Jason Greenblatt, in Amman on Wednesday.
King Abdullah II, who acts as the custodian of Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem al-Quds, expressed his commitment to the so-called two-state solution.
The Jordan king had "stressed the need to step up all efforts to achieve comprehensive and lasting peace on the basis of the two-state solution, guaranteeing the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 4 June 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem [al-Quds] as its capital … in accordance with international law and relevant UN resolutions," the Royal Hashemite Court said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Jordan's official Petra news agency reported that the two sides had exchanged views on "regional developments, especially efforts to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict."
Greenblatt also tweeted that he had a "constructive meeting" with King Abdullah II that included "a good conversation about regional dynamics."
The US delegation is meeting with top officials in Morocco, Jordan and Israel this week before it unveils the economic portion of the so-called "deal of the century" during a conference in Manama, Bahrain, on June 25-26.
On Tuesday, Kushner and Greenblatt held talks with Morocco's King Mohammed VI on the Manama forum, which has been boycotted by all Palestinian factions.
The Palestinians have also rejected the US Middle East initiative as "the slap of the century" because it is said to hugely favor Israel.
On Tuesday evening, Jordanian activists held a protest near the heavily-fortified American embassy in Amman to denounce Kushner's visit and Trump's plan on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Israel PM meets top US officials amid political crisis
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday met with Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's senior adviser (and son-in-law), and Jason Greenblatt, Trump's Mideast envoy, Anadolu Agency reports.
Kushner and Greenblatt are visiting Israel as part of a wider Middle East tour in the run-up to a planned US-sponsored meeting in Bahrain meant to lure investment to the Palestinian territories.
The White House has described the upcoming meeting in Manama as the first phase of its so-called "Deal of the Century", a backchannel Palestine-Israel peace plan the terms of which have yet to be made public.
In April, Kushner said that details of the plan would be unveiled after the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
Israeli media, however, reported on Thursday that this could be delayed after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to form a coalition government, prompting him to announce snap elections in September.
"Kushner thought he was coming to Jerusalem to meet a prime minister," Haaretz reported. "Instead, he's meeting a man forced to plan his second reelection campaign of the year."
According to the newspaper, the political crisis could end up derailing the Trump administration's peace plan.
Slated for June 25 and 26, the upcoming conference in Manama will reportedly be chaired by Kushner and Greenblatt.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar have all announced their intention to take part in the event.
Based on leaks in the Israeli media, Trump's peace plan will call on the Palestinian leadership to make concessions to Israel regarding Jerusalem's status and the rights of Palestinian refugees.

Far from solving the Palestine-Israel conflict, the US 'deal' will take it to an unimagined level
One thing caught my attention during the latest Israeli escalation in the Gaza Strip, which left dozens of Palestinians dead. It was a video message, in Arabic, by Israeli parliamentarian Avi Dichter, a former head of Israel's internal security service, Shin Bet. Dichter spent a life time torturing Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and assassinating many others, but used the video to offer "sincere" advice to the people of Gaza to rebel against Hamas rule and stop firing rockets at Israel.
In an attempt to blame the victims, he said that whatever misery the Palestinians are suffering from is the result of choosing war against Israel. According to him, in 1947, the UN offered them a partition plan, but they refused it and they chose to fight, and as a result they are now stifled in this tiny piece of land, the Gaza Strip. In his warped logic, they have only themselves to blame for their predicament; they gambled against the Zionist movement and lost.
In an attempt to intimidate the Palestinians, Dichter says that they should learn a lesson from Syria, where almost half-a-million people have been killed and around ten million have been displaced. Only Israel, claims the Knesset member, has helped the Syrian people; he ignores the fact that millions of Syrian refugees stay in neighbouring countries such as Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Not only does he demand that the Palestinians should stop firing rockets, but he also tells them that they will not gain anything by gathering near the Israeli-erected "border" fence for the Great March of Return protests because they have to forget about returning to their land. The only way to stop their suffering, insists Dichter, is to topple Hamas.
This video did not surprise me; Dichter was merely regurgitating decades-old Israeli propaganda. What was a surprise, though, was how similar it was in content to an article in the New York Times on 22 April - "Care about Gaza? Blame Hamas: The world wants to help. The terrorists won't allow it" - written by US President Donald Trump's Israel Envoy, Jason Greenblatt. The only real difference resulted from Dichter's use of Arabic to address the Palestinians in Gaza directly, while Greenblatt chose a prestigious newspaper to speak largely to the American people and the West.

Jared Kushner in Mideast to Garner Support for Peace Plan
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner is in the Middle East to drum up support for his as-yet unveiled Israeli-Palestinian peace plan.
A White House official says Kushner, along with Trump's special envoy for international negotiations Jason Greenblatt and special Iran envoy Brian Hook, are in Morocco and will visit Jordan and Israel later this week.
The trip comes as the U.S. prepares to roll out the economic portion of the plan at a conference in Bahrain in late June. The Palestinians have already rejected the peace plan and have urged Arab nations to avoid the conference. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar have already indicated they will participate.

The delegation began its trip in the Moroccan capital Rabat and was set to travel to Amman, Jordan and Jerusalem later this week.

Trump envoys Kushner, Greenblatt in Middle East to seek support for peace plan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner is leading a U.S. delegation on stops in the Middle East this week seeking support for a late June workshop aimed at helping the Palestinians, a White House official said on Tuesday. Kushner, Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt and U.S. Special Representative for Iran and Kushner aide Avi Berkowitz began their trip in Rabat and were to travel to Amman and Jerusalem, arriving in Israel on Thursday. Kushner will then meet up with U.S. President Donald Trump in London when the president makes a state visit there next week.
The trip is similar to one that Kushner and Greenblatt took in February to Gulf states to drum up support for the economic portion of a Middle East peace plan that they have been developing on behalf of Trump. The official said one reason for this week's trip is to bolster support for a June 25-26 conference in Manama, Bahrain, in which Kushner is to unveil the first part of Trump's long-awaited Israeli-Palestinian peace plan. The plan, touted by Trump as the "deal of the century," is to encourage investment in the West Bank and Gaza Strip by Arab donor countries before grappling with thorny political issues at the heart of the conflict.
Palestinian leaders have been sharply critical of the effort. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have said they will participate, and a senior U.S. official said officials from Qatar have said privately their country was expected to attend as well. The participants in the conference in Manama are expected to include 300 to 400 representatives and business executives from Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and possibly some Palestinian business leaders. A source familiar with the planning said it appeared Egypt, Jordan and Oman, as well as the G7 countries, would be sending representatives to the conference.

Report: Arab States Press Palestinians to Attend U.S. Peace Summit in Bahrain
TEL AVIV - Arab nations are putting pressure on the Palestinians to walk back a rejection of a US-led peace conference in Bahrain next month, according to Palestinian officials cited by the Jerusalem Post. "Some Arab countries are unhappy that we immediately rejected the idea of the workshop," a senior Palestinian Authority official told the Post, but declined to name which countries. "They are now asking us to stop attacking the workshop and not to oppose the participation of Palestinian businessmen."
On Tuesday, the PA officially rejected the U.S.'s invitation to attend the conference, during which the Trump administration plans to unroll the economic phase of its long-awaited peace proposal. "This is an official announcement that Palestine will not attend the Manama meeting. This is a collective Palestinian position, from President Mahmoud Abbas and the PLO Executive Committee to all Palestinian political movements and factions, national figures, private sector and civil society," senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat said in a statement, adding that no Palestinian representative would be present. "Those concerned and [who] want to serve the interest of the Palestinian people should respect this collective position," he said.
The Post cited other Palestinian officials as saying that Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates expressed "concern" over the PA's opposition to the workshop. "The Arabs say we should have consulted with them before publicly rejecting the workshop and calling for its boycott," a second official said. "They are actually pressuring us to stop speaking out against the Bahrain conference and to allow businessmen to go there." PA officials plan on convening in the coming days to discuss the latest developments on the peace deal, the report said.
On Sunday, the U.S. announced it would unroll the first phase of the long-anticipated proposal at the forum, saying it would outline the economic rewards if a peace deal were to be struck. Special Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt said the proposal has the "potential to unlock a prosperous future for the Palestinians." Erekat responded by saying, "Palestine's full economic potential can only be achieved by ending the Israeli occupation, respecting international law and UN resolutions." Last week, PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said the Palestinians would not attend the Bahrain workshop. "Any solution to the conflict in Palestine must be political ... and based on ending the occupation," he said. "The current financial crisis is a result of a financial war waged against us and we will not succumb to blackmailing and extortion and will not trade our national rights for money."
Ahmed Majdalani, the social development minister and a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization's executive committee, reiterated Shtayyeh's comments, saying: "There will be no Palestinian participation in the Manama workshop." The Palestinian leadership warned any Palestinian businessmen against taking part. "Any Palestinian who would take part would be nothing but a collaborator for the Americans and Israel," Majdalani said.
The only Palestinian currently set to attend the workshop is Ashraf Jabari, a Hebron businessman with ties to settlers who received a personal invitation from the Trump administration. "Any Palestinian who participates in the [Bahrain] conference is a traitor, collaborator and coward," said Osama Qawassmeh, spokesman for the Palestinian ruling Fatah faction in the West Bank. "We call on all our friends and the Arabs not to attend this conference." Others who received invitations, including Bashar Masri and Adnan Majli, announced they would boycott the summit.
Greenblatt shot back, saying that it is "difficult to understand why the Palestinian Authority would reject a workshop designed to discuss a vision with the potential to radically transform lives and put people on a path toward a brighter future." "History will judge the Palestinian Authority harshly for passing up any opportunity that could give the Palestinians something so very different, and something so very positive, compared to what they have today," Greenblatt said.

Trump's "Deal of the Century" Will Use Sanctions, Military Threats to Force Palestinian Acceptance
Recently leaked provisions of the plan include threats of US sanctions & military force if Palestinians reject the plan and a requirement for Palestinians to pay the Israeli Defense Forces for protection.
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL - The Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, owned by top Trump donor Sheldon Adelson, has published in Hebrew a leaked draft of the Trump administration's "Deal of the Century" for the Israel-Palestine conflict. The draft was given to the newspaper by an official from Israel's Foreign Ministry, which is currently headed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The plan, which has been drafted by President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, is expected to be released this June after the conclusion of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, according to Mondoweiss.
The draft plan published by Israel Hayom, while in keeping with many of the details that have been leaked to the press in past weeks and months, contains several new and troubling claims, including the Trump administration's plan to force Palestinian leadership to accept the plan through threats of economic strangulation and military force.
For instance, if Palestinian leadership - such as the Palestinian Authority (PA) or Hamas - rejects the Trump administration's "peace plan," the United States will respond aggressively by ensuring that "no country in the world transfer money" to Palestine, which would apparently be accomplished through U.S. sanctions. With Palestine's economy and the livelihood of many Palestinians dependent on foreign aid, such an act would amount to economic strangulation of the over 6 million Palestinians in the West Bank and around 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Kushner's peace plan is 'pretext' for Israeli land grab: Palestinian UN ambassador
UNITED NATIONS - The Trump administration's long-awaited plan peace for the Middle East is really a cover for Israel's annexation of West Bank settlements, the Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations Dr. Riyad Mansour said Tuesday.
A peace deal devised by White House senior adviser Jared Kushner is expected to be released in June, after Ramadan, following repeated United States moves that appear to embolden Israel and hurt the Palestinians.
"If what we read is what is to be expected from this plan, then it seems that the objective of it is not a solution to the conflict, but to give pretext to the Israeli government to annex other portions" of the West Bank, Mansour told a small group of reporters at UN headquarters.
"Because those who are interested in peace, they will be more balanced, more reasonable. They don't try to reinvent the wheel, they build on what exists and modify it ... But to start from scratch, you throw away everything we have worked on for 25 years."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had vowed in the waning days of a re-election campaign he won on April 9 to annex Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank - a move that likely rallied his right wing base in a tight race.
An Israeli land grab of Jewish settlements there would doubtless trigger condemnation from the Palestinians, who want to create their own state in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, all territory Israel captured in 1967.
Kushner, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, and peace envoy Jason Greenblatt, have spent the past two years developing a proposal in the hopes of kick-starting dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians.
But the Palestinians have refused to talk to US negotiators since Trump decided to shift the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel, and slash funding for Palestinian refugees.
Mansour said there was "no magic bullet" for Palestinian officials to use on the Trump administration.
"Some in the administration, they think: 'Yes, what will help peace is break the legs of the Palestinians, break one arm and five teeth, and when they are on the ground they will come crawling to you for anything you offer them'," Mansour said.
"Those who think that way don't know the Palestinians."
Mansour described strong support for the creation of a Palestinian state among Europeans, Russians and at the United Nations, that would see a one-sided Trump administration peace plan rejected internationally.

Under Trump, US a mere bystander in Israel-Hamas ceasefire efforts
Preferring to stand in Jewish state's corner, White House allows Egypt and UN to fill vacuum as mediators during Gaza conflicts in break from traditional policy
Sticking to the policy of his predecessors, US President Donald Trump came out ardently behind Israel's right to defend itself amid the onslaught of rocket fire from Gaza over the weekend.
"We support Israel 100% in its defense of its citizens... To the Gazan people - these terrorist acts against Israel will bring you nothing but more misery. END the violence and work towards peace - it can happen!" he tweeted Sunday.
Similarly carte blanche support for Jerusalem was expressed by other Trump officials such as Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. But while the top US diplomat said he "hoped" Israel and armed groups in Gaza would be able to "return to the ceasefire that had been in place," there was little indication he was doing more to make it happen beyond vocalizing that desire.

"Blame Palestinians for Gaza"
If you have read a recent New York Times op-ed entitled "Care about Gaza? Blame Hamas" written by none other than the White House "special representative for international negotiations" Jason Greenblatt you would understand that the misery being experienced by Palestinians in Gaza is all their own fault. Greenblatt, who is Jewish of the Orthodox persuasion, just happens to be a strong supporter of Israel's settlements, which he claims are "not an obstacle to peace." He is very upset because some naysayers are actually putting some of the blame for the human catastrophe in Gaza on Israel, which we Americans all know is our best friend in the whole world and our most loyal ally. If that were not so, the New York Times and those fine people in Congress and the White House would surely inform us otherwise. And anyway, what are a few lies and war crimes between friends?
Greenblatt, who knows nothing about foreign policy and diplomacy apart from advising Donald Trump on Israel while serving as the Trump Organization chief legal officer, is supposed to be working hard with Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner negotiating "deal of the century" peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Betting is that the arrangement on offer in June will consist of American acquiescence in Israel declaring sovereignty over nearly all of land that the Arabs still hold on the West Bank with the remaining local population being bribed heavily to either move to Jordan or stay in designated non-Jewish sectors and stop complaining.
Jason Greenblatt is a perfect example of the type of "dual" loyalist who cannot appreciate that his overriding religious and ethnic allegiances are incompatible with genuine loyalty to the United States. Willingness to subordinate actual American interests to a those of a foreign nation means that he and others like him are contributing to the decline and fall of the country he was born in and which has made him wealthy. If he had any real integrity, when presented by Trump with the opportunity to benefit Israel at the expense of the United States he should have declined the offer knowing that he would inevitably be biased, making it impossible for him to fairly consider either American interests or those of the Palestinians.

Kushner: UNRWA 'corrupt' and doesn't help peace
"Sometimes you have to strategically risk breaking things in order to get there," wrote Kushner in a confidential email regarding the UN Relief and Work Agency.
Jared Kushner, senior advisor and son-in-law to President Donald Trump, wrote in a confidential email that the United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) is "corrupt" and "doesn't help peace."
UNRWA provides services, including education and health care, to Palestinian refugees and their descendants who reside in the Middle East. The Trump administration announced it would cut US funding to the agency on August 31, 2018.
Kushner's letter, sent January 11, 2018, was revealed on Friday by Foreign Policy magazine. Kushner forwarded it to various current and former government officials, including former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, former national security advisor H. R. McMaster, and Special Envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt.
"It's very important to have an honest and sincere effort to disrupt UNWRA [sic]," wrote Kushner. UNRWA "perpetuates a status quo, is corrupt, inefficient and doesn't help peace."
He continued, "Our goal can't be to keep things stable as they are, our goal had to be to make things significantly BETTER!
"Sometimes you have to strategically risk breaking things in order to get there."
Kushner also suggested that former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson (who was not among the recipients of the letter) read an op-ed in the January 10 edition of the Wall Street Journal, applauding the Trump administration's decision to freeze funding for UNRWA.
The Trump administration has changed a number of US policies regarding Israel, the Palestinians and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Besides refusing to fund UNRWA, the US recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and subsequently moved its embassy there, and also recognized the Golan Heights as part of Israel.

Kushner says Middle East peace plan won't be released before June
The Trump administration's proposal for achieving peace in the Middle East won't be released until June at the earliest, senior White House adviser Jared Kushner told ambassadors on Wednesday.
Reuters reported that Kushner urged ambassadors to remain open to compromise ahead of the plan's release, which has been touted since early in Trump's presidency. Kushner is spearheading the peace initiative with special envoy Jason Greenblatt, who confirmed the Reuters report in a tweet.
The June release would come after the conclusion of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends early in the month, and would allow recently reelected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to form a governing coalition.
Netanyahu secured a record-setting fifth term earlier this month. President Trump said at the time he believed his ally's victory increased the chances for a Mideast peace deal.
Kushner discussed the proposal Wednesday with roughly 100 ambassadors from around the world at Blair House, which is located across the street from the White House. He reportedly encouraged attendees to keep an open mind, but did not disclose whether the plan would call for the creation of a Palestinian state.
Reuters reported that Kushner disputed the peace plan would focus mostly on an economic package to aid Palestinians, insisting that it would contain a "very detailed" political component.
The Trump administration has promised since its early days to deliver a groundbreaking proposal to ensure peace between Israelis, Palestinians and other stakeholders in the Middle East. However, officials have revealed few specifics about the plan or when it might be made public.
The U.S. ambassador to Israel said in January that the plan would likely not be released for "several months." White House national security adviser John Bolton said last week that the administration will put out its plan "in the very near future."
While Trump and others have championed Netanyahu's involvement in the proposal, there has been little contact with Palestinian officials, who cut off negotiations last year over frustrations with the Trump administration's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Recently elected Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh further cast doubt on the chances of reaching a deal with the Trump administration in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, saying any peace proposal will be "born dead."
"There are no partners in Palestine for Trump," Shtayyeh told the AP. "There are no Arab partners for Trump and there are no European partners for Trump."

'Unlawful & unrecognized': Twitter heaps criticism as US maps show Golan Heights as part of Israel
The Trump administration has released a controversial new US government map of Israel that shows the Golan Heights in Syria as being part of Israel, much to the outrage of many online.
Special envoy to the Middle East, Jason Greenblatt, shared the updated map on Twitter on Tuesday. Israel occupied the Syrian region in the 1967 Six Day War and later annexed it in 1981 in a move that was not recognized by the international community or the UN Security Council.
President Donald Trump announced he was recognizing the Golan Heights as being part of Israel late last month, in the run up to Israel's election in April.
Greenblatt tweeted that Trump had "instructed all agencies to take action to implement his decision. It's a large process to update everything."
The controversial move was met with criticism from the international community, which does not recognize Israel's claim to the region, while Israel President Benjamin Netanyahu and others hailed the decision.
The updated map still refers to the West Bank as being "Israeli occupied with current status subject to the Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement; permanent status to be determined through future negotiations," despite Netanyahu's recent promise to impose Israeli sovereignty across West Bank settlements.
About 40,000 people live in the Golan, half are Druze and Alawites, and half are Jewish settlers.

US Special Envoy Greenblatt shares map of Israel - with Golan Heights
US Envoy for Middle East negotiations Jason Greenblatt released a map of Israel, including the Golan Heights, on social media on Tuesday.
US Envoy for Middle East negotiations Jason Greenblatt released a map of Israel, including the Golan Heights, on social media on Tuesday.
The new map, which includes the Golan Heights as a part of Israel, was added to the US international maps system, according to the tweet.
"Welcome to the newest addition of our international maps system," wrote Greenblatt, citing the recent decision by US President Donald Trump to recognize the former Syrian land as a part of Israel.
US President Donald Trump recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights in March, when he tweeted that it is time the US does so.
A few days later Trump signed an official document with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his side.
The American decision is not shared by the EU or Russia, who view the Golan Heights as occupied Syrian land.

Pompeo denies Netanyahu's promise to annex West Bank will hurt 'peace plan'
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said he doesn't think Benjamin Netanyahu's election vow to annex the West Bank will have a negative impact on a two-state peace plan, despite the removal of a large part of one state.
Asked whether he thought Netanyahu's promise to officially annex the West Bank - already riddled with settlements constructed by Israel on occupied Palestinian land in violation of international law - would hurt the peace process, Pompeo said, "I don't."
"I think that the vision we'll lay out is going to represent a significant change from the model that's been used," he told CNN.
President Donald Trump's "vision" for the Middle East has already diverged significantly from the model that's been used.
This has included a unilateral declaration recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which the United Nations has repeatedly declared illegitimate since Israel officially annexed the Syrian territory in 1981.
It has also seen the relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, defying international law that holds the eastern part of the city to be occupied Palestinian territory. It's hard to see how this vision could do anything other than hurt the peace process.
Pompeo has been noticeably cagey since Netanyahu's re-election regarding the two-state solution that until very recently represented the official goal of US policy toward Israel and Palestine.
During a Senate hearing on Wednesday, he refused to answer when Democrats asked him to affirm his support for a Palestinian state, instead responding: "Ultimately the Israelis and Palestinians will decide how to resolve this," and promising that Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and his aide Jason Greenblatt would soon unveil a proposal "to resolve a problem that's been going on for decades and decades that previous administrations couldn't solve."
"We're hopeful that we have some ideas that are different, unique, which will allow the Israelis and the Palestinian people to come to a resolution of the conflict," Pompeo added.
Trump has been touting Kushner's "peace plan" for years, though he has yet to reveal its contents and even threatened to withhold it entirely if Netanyahu didn't win a fifth term. Now that the PM's future is secure, Trump has said he will unveil the plan in June. It's unclear how much more of the surrounding area Netanyahu plans to annex before then.

Trump to release peace plan after new coalition formed.
Aides to US President expect him to release his Israel-PA peace plan once Netanyahu forms a government coalition.
Aides to US President Donald Trump expect the president to release his peace plan for Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) once Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu forms a coalition, Reuters reported on Wednesday, a day after Netanyahu's election victory.
Officials said that despite criticism of the administration's moves to date, the plan will demand compromises from both sides.
The contents of the Middle East peace plan, authored by President Donald Trump's advisers Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, have remained a secret thus far.
Kushner and Greenblatt have limited the plan's distribution over the two years they have been crafting it. It has been kept secret "to ensure people approach it with an open mind" when it is released, a senior administration official told Reuters.
Only four people have regular access - Kushner, Greenblatt, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and Kushner aide Avi Berkowitz, the official said.
Trump is briefed regularly on the contents but is not believed to have read the entire document of dozens of pages.
"He is briefed if something interesting is happening or there is an idea they want to run by him," the official told Reuters.
While the plan has not yet been made public, Kushner recently discussed it in an interview with Sky News in Arabic.
While Kushner did not get into many specifics, he did say the plan "is very detailed and will focus on delineating the border and providing solutions to the main issues that are controversial and will be appropriate for the current situation on the ground."
According to Reuters, the proposal also addresses such core political issues as the status of Jerusalem, and separately aims at helping the Palestinian Arabs strengthen their economy.
Cloaked in secrecy is whether the plan will propose outright the creation of a Palestinian state.
On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the plan would be presented before too long but, when asked, declined to say whether the administration favored a two-state solution.
On Tuesday, when asked about the two-state by a Senate subcommittee, Pompeo would only say, "Ultimately the Israelis and Palestinians will decide how to resolve this."
The PA, meanwhile, has been boycotting the US ever since Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital in December of 2017 and has rejected the US peace plan before it has even been unveiled.

Kushner's peace plan 'includes land swaps with Saudi Arabia,' book claims
A draft of the plan included an oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to Gaza, according to newly released 'Kushner, Inc.'
The book, Kushner, Inc.: Greed. Ambition. Corruption. The Extraordinary Story of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, was written by Vicky Ward and released by St. Martin's Press on Tuesday. The book's 300 pages detail Jared and Ivanka's path to involvement in every aspect of White House affairs and their alleged designs to use their influence for personal gain.
Ward cites "multiple people who saw drafts of the plan" created by Kushner that would involve not just Israel and the Palestinians but also Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
"What Kushner wanted… was for the Saudis and Emiratis to provide economic assistance to the Palestinians," Ward wrote. "There were plans for an oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to Gaza, where refineries and a shipping terminal could be built. The profits would create desalination plants, where Palestinians could find work, addressing the high unemployment rate."
Ward said that the plan also included land swaps, where Jordan would give land to the Palestinian territories, and "in return, Jordan would get land from Saudi Arabia, and that country would get back two Red Sea islands it gave Egypt to administer in 1950."
Jason Greenblatt, the White House's Middle East envoy, tweeted late Wednesday that the book's claims about Kushner's peace plan are false.
"No one who has seen the plan would spread misinformation like that," he tweeted. "Whoever made these claims has bad info."

He peddled his controversial initiative to leaders of Arab and Muslim countries who Washington hopes would eventually endorse and bankroll what is being touted as an economic plan for the region. Kushner was accompanied on this diplomatic marketing mission by Presidential Assistant and Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt and U.S. Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook.

'It's time to defeat Hamas': Israeli minister speaks to RT after Gaza rocket fire (VIDEO)
Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett has blamed Hamas for firing two rockets into Israel, which triggered alarms near Tel Aviv. He told RT that it was time for Israel to retaliate against the "radical Islamic terror state."
While both the Hamas military wing and the hardline militants from Islamic Jihad denied responsibility for the latest rocket fire that hit Israeli territory on Thursday, Bennett has called to force the militants out of the Gaza Strip.
"Hamas has been shooting rockets at the southern part of Israel for roughly a year now and now they shot two rockets at the Tel Aviv area. It's time to defeat Hamas, it's time to demilitarize the Gaza Strip," he told RT.
Bennett blamed Arabs for turning Gaza into a failed state, to which Israel now must retaliate.
"When we handed it over to the Arabs, they turned it into a radical Islamic terror state and now it's time to fight back against that state and we will."
The minister dismissed as "utter nonsense" the argument that both sides have been equally responsible for the violence that is raging in the region.
"We left Gaza. We want peace. The moment they stop shooting missiles at my children's school and kindergarten is the moment there will be peace."
Bennett, who is a member of the Israeli Security Cabinet and a proponent of his own version of a one-state solution, also brushed off international calls for Israel to stop its rampant settlement construction.
"As long as it's up to me, I would build for Jews anywhere in Israel, because this is our home. I would build much more Jewish communities within our land."
US special Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt has echoed Bennett, blaming Hamas for the attack and "failing their people day after day."

Greenblatt at UNSC defends Israel's decision to deduct terrorist payments
Afterward, Greenblatt tweeted what appeared to be his message to the 15-member Security Council.
What country in the world would tolerate a reward system that compensates terrorists for their crimes, US envoy Jason Greenblatt asked on Friday, after defending Israel's decision to deduct from the taxes it transfers every month to the Palestinian Authority the amount of money the PA pays to terrorists and their families each month.
Greenblatt, the US Special representative for International Negotiations, defended Israel at a UN Security Council closed-door debate initiated by Kuwait and Indonesia on Israel's decision.
Afterward, Greenblatt tweeted what appeared to be his message to the 15-member Security Council.
"If your citizens were being routinely attacked by terrorists, which of you would tolerate a reward system that compensated the attackers for their crimes?" he tweeted. "How can we possibly censure Israel for taking the same stance?"
Last month the security cabinet decided to deduct more than half a billion shekels it collects in tariffs it transfers to the PA, equal to the amount of money the PA paid in 2018 to terrorists imprisoned in Israeli jails, their families, and to security prisoners who have been released.
The Palestinian Authority's "institutionalization of support for terrorism is unacceptable and must be called out, unequivocally by all of us," Greenblatt posted on his Twitter account, apparently reflecting what he told the Security Council. "The time has come for everyone to stop looking the other way."
Greenblatt wrote that the issue "is about the fundamental moral and ethical point that terrorist violence should not be rewarded with compensation - plain and simple."
Addressing PA Authority Mahmoud Abbas' decision not to accept any of the tax money if Israel deduct anything from the taxes it will transfer, Greenblatt wrote, "The Palestinian Authority is refusing to accept over $150 million in revenue to protest the fact that $11 million is being withheld, only to make a political point. Does that sound like a governing authority that is concerned with the welfare of its people?"

Raising eyebrows and security concerns, Kushner goes rogue in Saudi Arabia
The White House responded to the report declaring that, "This reporting is not true and the sources are misinformed," emphasizing that the embassy had been involved Kushner's meetings.
Jared Kusher abandoned protocol in Saudi Arabia, when he was not accompanied by US Embassy officials during his official meetings in Riyadh in late February, US Embassy officials told the Daily Beast on Thursday.
Kusher, the son-in-law of President Donald Trump, is also a senior advisor to the president. He is tasked with brokering peace in the Middle East, a daunting task usually given to seasoned diplomats.
Kushner has made several unannounced visits to Saudi Arabia, often traveling with Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt. On this recent trip, he met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and King Salman to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, US-Saudi cooperation and economic investments in the region, according to the report.
It is customary that when a US official travels abroad, the local embassy will help coordinate the trip and provide security. However, "The Royal Court was handling the entire schedule," a congressional source told The Daily Beast. "But that is normal for his past trips."
The White House responded to the report declaring that, "This reporting is not true and the sources are misinformed," emphasizing that the embassy had been involved Kushner's meetings.
Kushner's high-level diplomatic meetings have caused some concern. Lawmakers told the Daily Beast that they did not know what was discussed during the meetings.

Kushner makes little headway on Mideast peace plan in Gulf
Reuters
By Stephen Kalin and Ghaida Ghantous February 27, 2019
BEIRUT/DUBAI (Reuters) - White House adviser Jared Kushner made a whirlwind visit this week to rally U.S.-allied Gulf Arab allies to support his still- unannounced Middle East peace plan, the leaked contours of which suggest little has been done to address Arab demands.
Kushner's approach to ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict does not appear to have progressed since his last regional tour in June, focusing largely on economic initiatives at the expense of a land-for-peace deal long central to the official Arab position, two sources in the Gulf told Reuters on Wednesday.
Palestinians have refused to discuss any peace blueprint with the United States in the wake of President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital in 2017, while some Arab leaders have publicly rejected any deal that fails to address Jerusalem's status or refugees' right of return.
Kushner, who is President Donald Trump's son-in-law, met with leaders in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Oman this week. He arrived in Turkey on Wednesday.

(Reuters) - White House adviser Jared Kushner discussed his Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday, and the two also discussed increasing U.S.-Turkish cooperation and ways to boost economic conditions in the region.
Kushner, who has responsibility for Washington's Israel-Palestinian policy, has said the peace plan will address final-status issues of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, including establishing borders.
The White House said the meeting with Erdogan included Kushner, Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt and U.S. Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook.
"They discussed increasing cooperation between the United States and Turkey, and the Trump administration's efforts to facilitate peace between the Israelis and Palestinians," the White House said. "Additionally, they discussed ways to improve the condition of the entire region through economic investment."

Trump adviser Kushner meets Turkey's Erdogan on Israel-Palestinian peace plan
Kushner, who has responsibility for Washington's Israel-Palestinian policy, has said the peace plan will address final-status issues of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, including establishing borders.
The White House said the meeting with Erdogan included Kushner, Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt and U.S. Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook.
"They discussed increasing cooperation between the United States and Turkey, and the Trump administration's efforts to facilitate peace between the Israelis and Palestinians," the White House said. "Additionally, they discussed ways to improve the condition of the entire region through economic investment."
Erdogan has been one of the most vocal critics of U.S. President Donald Trump's support for Israel.
Last year he said the United States had forfeited its role as mediator in the Middle East by moving its Israel embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing the city as Israel's capital.
"The United States has chosen to be part of the problem rather than the solution," the Turkish president said last May, days before he hosted a summit of Muslim leaders which threatened economic measures against countries which followed the United States in moving their embassies to Jerusalem.
INSIGHT: Trump, Kim kick off second summit
Israel calls all of Jerusalem its "eternal and undivided capital", a status not recognized internationally. Palestinians want East Jerusalem, captured and occupied by Israel in a 1967 war, as capital of a future state.
In an interview broadcast on Monday on Sky News Arabia during a visit to U.S.-allied Gulf Arab states, Kushner made no specific mention of a Palestinian state, whose creation had been a key goal of Washington's peace efforts for two decades.
But he said the long-awaited peace proposal would build on "a lot of the efforts in the past", including the 1990s Oslo accords that provided a foundation for Palestinian statehood, and would require concessions from both sides.
U.S. officials said that Kushner, who is Trump's son-in-law, is expected to focus on the economic component of the plan during his week-long trip to the region.

Turkey's Erdogan meets with Kushner to discuss Mideast peace
Trump adviser discusses 'economic and regional issues' with Turkish leader amid whirlwind tour of Arab, Muslim countries
ANKARA - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday met with US President Donald Trump's adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner during the American official's regional tour to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Erdogan regards himself as a champion of the Palestinians and Turkey has often been vocal in its criticism of the Israeli government and Washington, especially after Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moved the US embassy there last year.
Erdogan said late Tuesday that the two men would discuss "economic and regional issues" at the meeting at the presidential palace in Ankara, although neither side said Syria was on the agenda.
The men were joined by Erdogan's son-in-law and Finance Minister Berat Albayrak, according to Turkish presidency images.
Kushner's visit follows from Trump's shock announcement in December - welcomed by Ankara - that he would withdraw 2,000 American ground troops from northern Syria.
Ankara has called for a "safe zone" controlled by Turkish forces to be a buffer area against the US-backed Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) militia.
Trump last week indicated that a few hundred "peacekeeping" troops would remain in Syria despite intentions to withdraw by April 30.
There have been tensions between Washington and Ankara over US support to the YPG which has spearheaded the West's fight against the Islamic State group.
Other issues remain between the NATO allies including the US failure to extradite the Pennsylvania-based Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen who Turkey claims orchestrated the 2016 failed overthrow of Erdogan. Gulen strongly denies the accusations.
Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, the US Middle East peace envoy, met officials from the United Arab Emirates and Oman on Monday alongside Brian Hook, the US special representative for Iran. The officials were in Bahrain on Tuesday.
Kushner at a conference in Warsaw earlier this month presented Washington's plans for a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians to be formally presented after Israeli elections in April.
On Wednesday The New York Times reported that the peace plan may include a call for investments of tens of billions of dollars to the Palestinians and other countries in the region.
The Times, citing unidentified analysts with knowledge of the matter, said the funds would include around $25 billion for the West Bank and Gaza and another $40 billion for Israeli neighbors including Egypt, Jordan and possibly Lebanon. The paper noted that other sources who had spoken to Kushner said the figures were not necessarily accurate, but confirmed that the investments would be in the tens of billions.
Kushner is reportedly seeking to persuade Middle East leaders to get behind those proposals as he tours the region

WARSAW - Jared Kushner, senior aide to U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday both Israel and the Palestinians will have to compromise in the administration's peace plan, which will be presented after the upcoming Israeli election in April.
Kushner was speaking at a closed session at a U.S.-orchestrated convention on the Middle East in Poland.
Trump's Mideast peace envoy, Jason Greenblatt also tweeted Thursday that Prime Minister Benjamin "Netanyahu described the medical care given by Israel to thousands of Syrians who suffered from the tragic civil war in Syria.

Netanyahu: Israel and Arab states advancing common interest of combating Iran
Israel is working to oust Iran from Syria, Netanyahu said, adding, "we are obligated to do this and we will do this."
Arab countries and Israel are talking about combating Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in Warsaw, as he filmed a shot near a skating rink for his Facebook page.
"From here I am going to a meeting with 60 foreign ministers and envoys of countries from around the world against Iran," Netanyahu said.
"What is important about this meeting - and this meeting is not in secret, because there are many of those - is that this is an open meeting with representatives of leading Arab countries, that are sitting down together with Israel in order to advance the common interest of war with Iran." Netanyahu said.
On the northern front, Israel is working to oust Iran from Syria, Netanyahu said.
"What we are doing is pushing and driving Iran from Syria. We are committed to doing this," he said. "It is cold in Warsaw right now but Israel's foreign relations are warming up, warming up for the better."
He spoke after his meeting with Omani Foreign Minister Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah.
The Israeli Prime Minister is in Warsaw to attend the Ministerial to Promote a Future of Peace and Security in the Middle East, which opens on Wednesday night and extends into Thursday.
Both US Vice President Mike Pence and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, are expected to address the ministerial meeting that includes representatives from the Arab world and the 28 nations that make up the European Union.
US envoy Jason Greenblatt, who is in Warsaw tweeted in advance of the conference that, "Iran is the primary threat to the future of regional peace/security.
"Iran is the primary threat to the future of regional peace/security," he wrote.

Trump Administration Finishes Israeli-Palestinian Peace Plan
The administration reportedly has finished the plan and US President Donald Trump has been briefed on its contents, two senior administration officials told Fox News on Sunday.
The final draft of the administration's "Deal of the Century" is 175 to 200 pages long, with fewer than five people having access to the complete version of the document, sources told Fox News.
"The plan is done... [the president] is happy with the parameters of the deal," a senior administration official said.
The US President has also been briefed by US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, his Senior Adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner as well as special envoy for Mideast peace Jason Greenblatt multiple times on the specifics of the deal, according to the source. Kushner is set to visit Warsaw to attend a summit hosted by the United States and Poland to discuss regional issues regarding the Middle East.
Kushner is also expected to travel with Greenblatt to five Gulf countries to discuss the specifics of the Trump administration's Israeli-Palestinian peace deal with regional leaders, gathering support for his plan.
Senior government officials have noted that his plan is unlikely to be released before the upcoming Israeli elections on April 9.
"We are not going to do anything that threatens Israel's security," a senior administration official said.
The Palestinian Autonomy had rejected earlier attempts by the US to single-handedly negotiate a peace agreement with Israel following Trump's decision in December 2017 to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem and acknowledge the whole city as Israel's capital. Trump's decision also escalated tensions between the Palestinian Authority and Israel and led to massive clashes on the Israeli border with the Gaza Strip. However, in September 2018 the US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said that the Trump administration's long-awaited peace plan for Israel and Palestine would be completed soon.

USAID assistance in the West Bank and Gaza has ceased: U.S. official
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has ceased all assistance to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, a U.S. official said on Friday. The halt was requested by the Palestinian Authority but is certain to bring further hardship to people in the already deprived territories. The deadline also sees the end of about $60 million in U.S. aid for the Palestinian security forces, whose cooperation with Israeli forces helps maintain relative quiet in the West Bank.
The decision was linked to a Jan. 31 deadline set by new U.S. legislation under which foreign aid recipients would be more exposed to anti-terrorism lawsuits. The Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act (ATCA) empowers Americans to sue foreign aid recipients in U.S. courts over alleged complicity in "acts of war". President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Jason Greenblatt, said the aid was cut at the request of the Palestinian Authority.
"This aid was cut (not just suspended) at the PA's request because they didn't want to be subject to US courts which would require them to pay US citizens killed by Palestinian terrorists when the PA was found guilty," he said in a tweet. The Palestinian Authority declined further U.S. funding over worries about its potential legal exposure, although it denies Israeli accusations that it encourages militant attacks. "At the request of the Palestinian Authority, we have wound down certain projects and programs funded with assistance under the authorities specified in ATCA in the West Bank and Gaza, a U.S. official told Reuters on Friday. "All USAID assistance in the West Bank and Gaza has ceased."
It was unclear how long the cessation would last. The official said no steps were currently being taken to close the USAID mission in the Palestinian territories, and no decision had been made about future staffing at the USAID mission in the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. USAID is the main agency administering U.S. foreign assistance in the Palestinian territories. According to its website, the agency spent $268 million on public projects in the West Bank and Gaza as well as Palestinian private sector debt repayment in 2017, but there were significant cuts to all new funding through the end of June 2018. Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said: "The suspension of aid to our people, which included critical sectors such as health and education, will have a negative impact on all, create a negative atmosphere, and increase instability."
Greenblatt called Rudeineh's statement disingenuous. "Palestinians are too smart to continue to live as victims and recipients of foreign aid. Until a political solution is found (maybe it will be our peace plan?), the PA must focus on helping Palestinians lead better lives," he tweeted.
The Palestinian Authority is an interim self-government body set up following the 1993 Oslo peace accords. The peace process, aimed at finding a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has been stalled since 2014. In the Hamas-ruled enclave of Gaza, Hamas spokesman Ismail Rudwan condemned the cuts, deploring what he called "politicized money" In the Hamas-ruled enclave of Gaza, Hamas spokesman Ismail Rudwan condemned the cuts, deploring what he called "politicized money"

WASHINGTON - Two of U.S. President Donald Trump's senior advisers on the Middle East will attend the upcoming international summit in Poland aimed at promoting peace and stability in the Middle East alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior representatives from Arab countries.
Jared Kushner, the Trump's son-in-law and close adviser, and Jason Greenblatt, the president's special envoy to the Middle East, will participate in the discussions in Warsaw in two weeks, which will focus on pushing back against Iran's influence and restoring stability to the region.
The participation of Kushner and Greenblatt at the event means that there could also be some discussions about the Trump administration's Mideast peace plan, a project the two advisers have been working on for the past year and a half. The plan is supposed to be released at some point after the Israeli election in April, although no clear date has been set. Some countries in the region are skeptical that it will be published, after there have been reports anticipating its release ever since last summer.

White House: Israeli TV Report on Peace Plan Not Accurate
US envoy says speculation about plan is 'not helpful'
White House officials have issued a statement on Friday rejecting Israeli Channel 13's report on the Israeli peace deal, declaring the deal to be "inaccurate," and saying that "very few people on the planet know what is in it."
Channel 13's report cited a "senior American official," and presented a very broad-brush summary of the plan, including giving the Palestinians a state that included the majority of the occupied West Bank, and some of the Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem as their capital city.
Though this fairly unspecific report is in keeping with what most plans could be expected to contain, US special envoy Jason Greenblatt not only rejected the idea, but added that any speculation about what the US plan actually is "is not helpful."
The Trump Administration has played up this plan as a "deal of the century" from the beginning, but has offered virtually no details of what it would actually contain. There is still no specific timeline for the release of the real plan.

Kushner took unannounced trip to Saudi Arabia

President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner returned home Saturday from an unannounced visit to Saudi Arabia - his third trip to the country this year.
Kushner left Washington, D.C., via commercial airline on Wednesday for the trip, which was not announced to the public, a White House official told POLITICO. He traveled separately from Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who led a delegation to Riyadh last week to focus on combating terrorist financing.
Kushner was accompanied in the region by deputy national security adviser Dina Powell and Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt. Greenblatt continued from Saudi Arabia to Amman, Jordan; Cairo; the West Bank city of Ramallah; and Jerusalem, where he was on Sunday.
The Trump administration has said its strategy is to try to draw in neighboring Arab leaders to play a role in Middle East peace. "Jared has always been driven to try and solve the Israel-Palestinian dispute," said billionaire real estate investor Tom Barrack, a longtime friend and close Trump confidant. "The key to solving that dispute is Egypt. And the key to Egypt is Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia."
The trip comes at a moment when the president's son-in-law has played a downsized diplomatic role in other parts of the globe, such as China. But it shows that he is still firmly at the forefront of the administration's efforts in the Middle East.

The White House official would not say who Kushner met with in Saudi Arabia. But he has cultivated a relationship with the crown prince, Mohammad Bin Salman, who, like Kushner, is in his 30s. Kushner arrived back in Washington, D.C., on Saturday night in time for a surprise birthday dinner for his wife, Ivanka Trump, at the Trump International Hotel.
"The Senior Advisor to the President, the Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategy, and the Special Representative for International Negotiations recently returned from Saudi Arabia," the White House official said in a statement to POLITICO. "The Senior Advisor has also been in frequent contact with officials from Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Saudi Arabia."
The White House official added: "While these regional talks will play an important role, the President reaffirms that peace between Israelis and Palestinians can only be negotiated directly between the two parties and that the United States will continue working closely with the parties to make progress toward that goal."

>The central thrust of the plan - which Arab leaders have reportedly asked the Trump administration to withhold - is to focus first on an economic development program for Gaza with similar incentives applying to the West Bank only if Palestinians concede permanent control over Jerusalem with large settlement zones for Israelis and a limited sovereignty arrangement that is several steps short of full independence.
>But after a year of shuttle diplomacy and multiple meetings with leaders in Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Amman and Cairo, American envoys Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt have failed to convince Egypt or other key Arab states that the U.S. can broker a fair solution.

Kushner wants 'honest effort to disrupt' Palestinian refugee agency, Abbas up in arms
The Palestinian authorities have slammed a reported plan by the US President's special adviser Jared Kushner to dismantle the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, saying it's a plot to take a key issue off any future negotiations.
Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas has described the newly-surfaced plan, allegedly outlined by Kushner in internal correspondence in January, as a "continuation of the subversive plots to eliminate the Palestinian problem." By insisting on unraveling the decades-old United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Washington seeks to strike the issue of the Palestinians displaced during the Arab-Israeli war off the agenda of any future negotiations, which is unacceptable, Abbas said on Saturday.
On Friday, Foreign police magazine revealed that Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law in charge of mediating a peace deal between Israel and Palestine, has been spearheading an effort to get rid of UNRWA. In an email to the US President's Middle East peace envoy Jason Greenblatt and several other officials, dated January 11, Kushner reportedly wrote that "it is important to have an honest and sincere effort to disrupt UNRWA."
Advocating for the dissolution of the organization that helps provide healthcare and education to tens of thousands of Palestinians, Kushner wrote that the US cannot let the situation remain stable and has to "strategically risk breaking things" to achieve its wide-reaching goals.
In line with his goal to render UNRWA obsolete, Kushner allegedly sought to put pressure on Jordan so it will no longer recognize some 2 million Palestinian refugees as such during a leg of his Middle Eastern tour in June. Kushner reportedly tried to persuade the Jordanian government to resettle the Palestinians within its borders without UNRWA being involved, according to a Palestinian official cited by FP.
Head of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee Saeb Erekat reported on Kushner's attempt to buy the Arab countries' support in his quest to eliminate the UN agency back in June.
"They (the Trump administration) approached the host countries of the Palestinian refugees to ask how much UNRWA used to spend there and offered to give it directly to them," Erekat said, claiming that Jordan said "no"to the generous offer.
UNRWA, which was founded in the wake of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, defines refugees as "persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict." In addition to those originally displaced from their homes, it also views their descendants as applicable for refugee status.
The latter principle, which has seen the number of registered Palestinian refugees living in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank and Gaza exceed five million, has long been a bone of contention between the agency and the Israeli authorities, who regard their return, however unlikely it looks at this point, as a threat to the recently codified Jewish character of the nation-state.
UNRWA has had to scale back its assistance to Palestinian refugees in Gaza after the US, which was the agency's biggest donor, slashed its contribution by $250 million. The move left the agency cash-strapped and sparked an urgent call for donors, backed by the UN officials including Secretary General Antonio Guterres. "We must do everything possible to ensure that food continues to arrive, that schools remain open and that people do not lose hope," he told a fundraising conference in New York in June.
Trump has put Kushner in charge of devising a comprehensive Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, that has been in the works for 18 months and which is rumored to include points that are unacceptable to Ramallah. The tensions between Israel and Palestine were ratcheted up by the US recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital and the grand opening of its embassy there in March, which was followed by months of deadly clashes.

Kushner rips Abbas, says Mideast peace plan due 'soon'
JERUSALEM (AP) - President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser said in an interview published Sunday that the administration will soon present its Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, with or without input from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
In an interview published in the Arabic language Al-Quds newspaper, Jared Kushner appealed directly to Palestinians and criticized Abbas, who has shunned the Trump team over its alleged pro-Israel bias, particularly on the fate of contested Jerusalem.
The interview came out after a weeklong trip around the region by Kushner and Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt. The team met with leaders of Israel, Jordan, Qatar, Egypt and Saudi Arabia to discuss the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza and the administration's proposals for a peace deal.
Palestinian leaders have blasted the Trump negotiating team in recent days. Senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat accused Kushner and Greenblatt on Saturday of trying to topple the Abbas-led West Bank autonomy government and dismantle the U.N. aid agency for Palestinian refugees.

Kushner was joined by America's envoy to the peace process, Jason Greenblatt, in the meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister.
A White House statement said that the US officials discussed ways that the siege can be alleviated while maintaining Israel's security. It stressed the Trump administration's commitment "to advance peace" through the deal.
According to Haaretz, the US envoys are expected to visit a number of Arab states, including Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt, in the efforts to mobilise support for the so-called "deal of the century". The newspaper reported that they also sought to secure aid for the Gaza Strip to ease its economic crisis, the result of the 12-year Israeli siege, as part of the deal.
Last Sunday, Haaretz political analyst Amos Harel said that Washington has been looking to collect over $500 million from the Gulf States for projects to be carried out in Sinai in order to serve the Gaza Strip. This is believed to include a new port on the North Sinai coast.
The Trump deal apparently proposes that Abu-Dis will be the capital of a future Palestinian state instead of East Jerusalem. The Old City will remain under full Israeli control. In return, Israel will withdraw from three to five Arab neighbourhoods east of Jerusalem.

White House pushes ahead with Mideast peace plan
BY MATTHEW LEE
Today
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Trump administration is aiming to roll out its much-hyped but long-delayed Middle East peace plan next month amid signs it may further alienate the Palestinians by slashing millions of dollars in funding for humanitarian and development projects in the West Bank and Gaza.
Five U.S. officials and a congressional aide say the administration intends to release the peace plan in mid- to late-June, shortly after the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, although they cautioned that the timing could slip depending on developments in the region. They say the plan's main authors - President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner and Trump's special envoy for international negotiations Jason Greenblatt - have already begun quietly briefing select allies and partners on elements of the proposal.
Yet any Palestinian willingness to even consider the plan would require conditions to improve and anger to subside considerably in the coming weeks, an unlikely scenario as the Palestinians say evidence of one-sided Trump giveaways to Israel continues to pile up. U.S. allies in Europe and the Persian Gulf also have felt compelled to criticize the administration for its approach. Ostensibly, Trump would need buy-in from those same countries to build enough momentum for any peace plan to succeed…..

Trump Addresses Audience at Embassy Dedication in Jerusalem
President Donald Trump on Monday addressed an audience in Jerusalem, Israel by a pre-taped video to mark the opening of the U.S. embassy in the city.
"United States under President Harry Truman became the first nation to recognize the state of Israel. Today we officially opened the United States embassy in Jerusalem. Congratulations," Trump said. "It's been a long time coming."
Back in December of 2017, Trump announced the U.S. recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and would initiate plans to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"Almost immediately after declaring statehood in 1948, Israel designated the city of Jerusalem as its capital-the capital the Jewish people established in ancient times," Trump said. "Today, Jerusalem is the seat of Israel's government. It is the home of the Israeli legislature and the Israeli supreme court and Israel's prime minister and president."
Trump added that Israel is a sovereign nation and has the right to designate its own capital.
"Israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital," Trump said.
The ceremony has intensified riots along the Israel-Gaza border, where Palestinians have been protesting for several weeks. There have been reports of casualties and injuries at the protests.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has said such a move threatens the peace process, and other Middle Eastern leaders have warned the move could inflame tensions in the region.
Trump said the U.S. is still committed to a lasting peace deal for the region.
"The United States remains fully committed to facilitating a lasting peace agreement, and we continue to support the status quo at Jerusalem's holy sites including at the Temple Mount," Trump said.
Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan led the American delegation of about 250 people, which also included Trump's envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt, American Ambassador David Friedman, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, and White House advisers Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Several Republicans from both the House of Representatives and the Senate were also part of the delegation.

Palestinian Authority officials did not attend the meeting, which focused on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
WASHINGTON - Israeli national security officials sat around the same table on Tuesday morning with their counterparts from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and the United Arab Emirates, discussing a dire humanitarian situation unfolding in the Gaza Strip.
The summit on Gaza, called by Jared Kushner, the US president's son-in-law and senior adviser on Middle East peace, as well as Jason Greenblatt, his special representative for international negotiations, marks an unprecedented moment for Israeli diplomacy, as their dialogue with officials from Arab states is publicly recognized for the first time.
The Trump administration planned the meeting over the course of several weeks and released a list of attendees the morning of the summit, which also included officials from Egypt, Jordan, Canada and various European countries.
Palestinian Authority officials did not attend the meeting.
"We regret that the Palestinian Authority is not here with us today," Greenblatt said in opening remarks to the conference. "This is not about politics. This is about the health, safety and happiness of the people of Gaza, and of all Palestinians, Israelis and Egyptians."
"As you know, we are here today to consider ideas on how to address the humanitarian challenges in Gaza - a topic that has long been at the forefront of all of our minds," Greenblatt continued. "It has certainly been on mine."
Greenblatt and Kushner are putting final touches on a comprehensive peace plan for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, of which the resolution of the Gaza crisis is an integral part. At the moment, White House officials are deciding how to rollout the plan within a matter of weeks or a few short months.
This is not the first time that Israeli and Arab officials have been in the same room together. Both were present at a peace conference in Madrid in 1991, and in United Nations ad hoc liaison committee hearings on the plight of the Palestinians. But the White House has never hosted an event of this kind, much less on the heels of releasing a plan designed to cement a burgeoning alliance between the Sunni Arab world and the Jewish state.
The US envoy emphasized the need for health aid, electricity, clean water, food security and employment in the coastal strip.
"We all know that none of this will be easy," Greenblatt said. "And, everything we do must be done in a way that ensures we do not put the security of Israelis and Egyptians at risk- and that we do not inadvertently empower Hamas, which bears responsibility for Gaza's suffering."
Greenblatt also emphasized US efforts to compel Hamas to return IDF soldiers held in Gaza, "as well as the missing Israeli civilians"- a pressing humanitarian concern, he told the conference.
"I hope that I can count on all of you to work with me on this important humanitarian situation as well," he said. "And the same way I encouraged you to meet with Israelis in the Gaza border area, and Palestinians from Gaza to learn their stories, I encourage you to meet these families as well."
Greenblatt asked the group to "agree to leave politics at the door."
Consecutive US and Israeli governments have criticized Qatar for generously supportive Hamas in Gaza for years.
"There are no excuses for inaction," he continued. "Inaction not only leads to more suffering for the Palestinians in Gaza, but also creates more security challenges for Israelis and Egyptians, and pushes the prospects for a comprehensive peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians further and further away."
The meeting took place amid reporting from Israel's Channel 10 that Egypt has been hosting a series of quiet meetings between Israeli and Saudi officials. The report has not been independently confirmed.
In a tweet after the meetings ended, Greenblatt thanked the Israeli and Arab diplomats "for putting all tensions aside to work with us."
"Everyone left politics at the door & focused on practical solutions," he wrote.

Facebook heeds Holocaust message
Naomi Levin - Oct 30, 2020
After significant global campaigns led by the World Jewish Congress and the American Jewish Committee and joined by dozens of key Jewish community organisations, including AIJAC, Facebook has agreed to crack down on Holocaust denial on its social media platforms.
In a statement on Oct. 12, Vice President of Content Policy Monika Bickert said Facebook would ban any content that "denies or distorts the Holocaust". She added that, starting later this year, anyone who searches for terms associated with Holocaust or Holocaust denial will be directed to "credible information off Facebook".
Facebook's move against Holocaust denial followed its step earlier this year to prohibit users from using the ubiquitous digital platform to spread antisemitic stereotypes.
Content that accuses Jews of running the world or controlling the media is no longer permitted to be published on Facebook. This ban came after Jewish organisations consulted with Facebook in order to implore the social media giant to share some of the responsibility for growing global antisemitic sentiment.
In response to the Holocaust denial ban, Greg Schneider, president of the Claims Conference, whose mission is to provide a measure of justice to Holocaust survivors, welcomed the changes.
"You cannot deny the atrocities Holocaust survivors suffered; we applaud these first steps. Holocaust survivors bravely came forward to ensure that their voices were heard. We now urge Facebook to take immediate action to implement its new policy," Schneider said.
However, Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jason Greenblatt accused Facebook of acting too late.
"In reality, we believe Facebook is acting now because of external pressure coming from a variety of sources: the Stop Hate for Profit campaign led by ADL and other civil rights organisations; the #NoDenyingIt effort led by the Claims Conference; alarming new polling on Holocaust awareness among young people; regulatory pressure in Europe and America; the recent congressional hearings in Washington DC and a hard-hitting letter from 20 state attorneys general," Greenblatt said.
There was an obvious shift of emphasis by Facebook in October from unfettered free speech towards a more nuanced approach. This was reflected in the tech giant's decision to remove content associated with increasingly popular conspiracy theory QAnon.
YouTube, owned by Google, announced it too would tighten the rules on QAnon-related content, which led to the removal of some popular, but dangerous, videos. However, although YouTube stopped short of an outright ban, analysts have noted that the majority of the most popular QAnon Facebook pages and groups became inaccessible quite quickly. Experts have warned, however, that QAnon is already morphing to evade capture, and some users are spilling over into less popular - and less regulated - alternative social media platforms.
QAnon - which originated in the US and is based on the crazy notion that Democrats and Hollywood elites are paedophilic child traffickers and that Donald Trump is working to #savethechildren - has spread beyond American shores and capitalised on the pandemic to pick up thousands of followers around the world.
QAnon has been associated with antisemitism, with researchers recently finding dozens of graphically violent death threats from QAnon supporters towards Jewish financier and philanthropist George Soros, many references to Rothschild banking conspiracies, and connections being drawn between the supposed child trafficking ring and the antisemitic canard of blood libel.
American researcher Gregory Stanton put it most succinctly: "QAnon's conspiracy theory is a rebranded version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
With social media the new printing press, tech giants stepping up to the plate to remove hateful content seems central to restraining the spread of racist extremism - and the violence it can spawn.

Q-Posts ANSWERS (1)
- Question: What US operators are currently in SA?
Answer: SoS Tillerson was in SA and met with the King on October 22nd. Jared Kushner was there till Oktober 28th and was accompanied by deputy national security adviser Dina Powell and Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, was there two weeks ago and led a delegation to Riyadh to focus on combating terrorist financing.
Extra Answer: US MIL and R2 PMC
Open Answer: Assuming Q is referring to CIA, was the missile meant to travel to HI where Trump was and take him out? Was this threat what caused the full dress generals? The remainder of the KSA royal family may not be happy about the deal where USA and Aramco are business partners. Exclusive control disappears as the narrow circle in which the wealth is shared. Some may see this as an economic colonization of KSA and its oil reserves.
