Big loss here: a massive welfare case, addicted to lying and whining, is cutting ties. If he doesn’t have the U.S. President kowtowing to him and accepting his lies, he will take his marbles (paid for with foreign aid) and go home.
“Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas suspends relations with the US, Israel,” Associated Press, January 2, 2020:
Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas announced the suspension of relations, including security cooperation, with both Israel and the United States on Saturday, days after the unveiling of a US peace plan that Palestinians say heavily favors Israel.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas threatened to cut security ties with both Israel and the U.S. on Saturday, in a lengthy speech delivered at an Arab League meeting in Egypt’s capital that denounced a White House plan for ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The U.S. plan would grant the Palestinians limited self-rule in parts of the occupied West Bank, while allowing Israel to annex all its settlements there and keep nearly all of east Jerusalem.
The summit of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo was requested by the Palestinians, who responded angrily to the American proposal.
Abbas said that he told Israel and the U.S. that “there will be no relations with them, including the security ties” following the deal that Palestinians say heavily favors Israel.
There was no immediate comment from U.S. or Israeli officials.
The Palestinian leader said that he’d refused to take U.S. President Donald Trump’s phone calls and messages “because I know that he would use that to say he consulted us.”
“I will never accept this solution,” Abbas said. “I will not have it recorded in my history that I have sold Jerusalem.”
He said the Palestinians remain committed to ending the Israeli occupation and establishing a state with its capital in east Jerusalem.
Abbas said that the Palestinians wouldn’t accept the U.S. as a sole mediator in any negotiations with Israel. He said they would go to the United Nations Security Council and other world and regional organizations to “explain our position.”…
Jordan, meanwhile, warned against any Israeli “annexation of Palestinian lands” and reaffirmed its commitment to the creation of a Palestinian state along the 1967 lines, which would include all the West Bank and Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem….
Abraham says
Israel shouldn’t give up an inch of the territory they gained in two wars started by the Arabs. They attacked Israel from multiple fronts on Israel’s holiest day and are crying foul. There never was a Palestinian issue before the 73 war as Palestinians have never before had their own country, ever. They were always part of other Arab lands.
The Arabs control the entire middle east and won’t stop until Israel is destroyed. You can’t sign any Treaties with any Muslum country because they never abide by them because their prophet Mohammed said it’s ok to lie, cheat and break any contract as long as it furthers Islam.
All the billions in aid that gas gone to the Palestinians ends up lost to Hamas who claims to be Palestinians army and they are a group of terrorists.
The Muslum world should be careful what they do next. President Trump has been more than patient with Iran and all their attacks, murders of Christians and outright sickening actions all over the world. Sooner or later, there will be a war and countries like Iran will be flattened along with anyone standing with them.
Iran is a complete joke when it comes to military power. Just look up what their military assets are anyone can see, a war would take a few weeks before they would surrender. Turkey, Egypt, and others are always stirring the pot but it will only set them back. We should pull all aid to the middle east except Israel who is our ally. Saudi Arabia is an Ally by necessity only.
There is a worldwide Christian genocide going on and until it stops, I have zero sympathy for any of them. Sick religion by sick people. They go around whining and at the same time murder, rape and pillage any person or place not Moslum. They are following in the steps of their supposed prophet yet do nothing for anyone except themselves.
Stephen Silverstein says
You can add to that the fact that Jerusalem isn’t mentioned once in the Koran, but how many times in the Bible? Any “Palestinian” claim to ANY PART of Jerusalem is complete rubbish.
Abbas is only in favour of enriching himself and his pals, and killing Jews. Any plan that doesn’t give him this will always fail.
Minas says
Exactly.
Glen Kippel says
I agree with everything you wrote. Muslims follow a book inspired by Al-Shaitan (Satan). They cannot be trusted. Islam is a militaristic political ideology dedicated to the overthrow of existing systems of government and the establishment of Sharia law. It operates under the guise of religion as a shield against criticism.
KWJ says
They have false pride. Israel is as much something they once controlled even though they laid waste to the land (crops, buildings, etc.) Only the Jews (Israelis) restored it and have been productive and successful.
There really is something warped when Islam has not done much good for Muslims either. They want to take what they did not build, research, develop and so on.
They should develop what they have and prove they are capable of existing without the terrorism they perpetuate. The UN and EU are a scourge in this matter and also feed $ the terrorists more than the common people. Can’t respect them.

short version he wants war not peace…
because his fat old wrinkled @$$ is not the one that is going to die…
Oldone says
This is no great loss…As there is no sovereign country of Palestine, ergo, there cannot be a people called Palestinian…Let them stew in their own juice…Withhold all financial aid, medical aid and supplies, food, etc…Let their fellow Muslims support them, and kowtow to their demands…
Robert W says
The world Owes Nothing to this Global Terrorist Group, not one more inch or another dollar. Time to start leaning on the Arab countries that need American and Israeli security for their survival
John says
Why are we in denial? Muslims are clearly allowed to lie to us because we are infidels, open up a Quran knowing that to be a Muslim means you believe it contains the perfect words of their God and you will see that this god tells or commands them to lie to us , it also tells them to kill us and just in case the cave you live in doesn’t have windows this is what muslims have been doing for the entire 1,400 years of their religions birth including flying passenger planes into skyscrapers full of nonbelievers and this slaughter of us the nonbelievers is happening everyday around the world WAKE UP Islam is not a religion of peace

Abbas, enraged over Trump peace plan, suspends relations with US and Israel
………………..
I heard this this morning. Of course, Abbas will still expect the humanitarian aid to keep flowing…
jewdog says
Thank you, Mr. Abbas for saving us taxpayers so much money. I appreciate your refusal to compromise, your commitment to extremism and hatred, and your principled stand in only accepting money with no strings attached. As long as we have people like you in office, we can breathe easy when it comes to big expenditures and risky territorial concessions. Keep it up!
Christopher Watson says
So Abbas no longer wishes to talk to Trump or the Israelis. Oh, dear. I’m sure Trump will be terribly upset. The Palestinians will never accept any deal. They only want Israel to disappear; which will never happen. So cut spending so much money on the constantly useless ‘deals’; stop sending produce to the southern border pass; stop the supply of electricity and stop the Palestinians using Israeli hospitals. Once we start treating Abbas like what he is, a vicious, criminal gang leader who keeps all Palestinian reporters in jail and we talk to a democratically elected leader, who knows the Palestinian people (or whoever they are) might be able to live like normal people.
Battle says
I hope the leaders tell Mahmoud Abbas to put his hate where the sun does not shine.
libertyORdeath says
The “Palestinians” have never produced anything of value in their entire false existence anyways. Maybe now we should treat these terrorists as the non-state actors they really are.
End Coddling of Grievancemongers says
In response, the president should revoke the land for peace offer and suspend all US aid to the phakestinians.
Gamaliel Isaac says
Jordan is an annexation of 3/4 of the Jewish national home and they tell Israel not to annex Judea and Samaria?
Linda Rivera says
Please make it permanent, Trump, please be ethical.
Terrorist, supremacist, RABID GOD HATER Abbas will soon resume relations with America. Greedy, EVIL Abbas and his evil cronies live like billionaires, live in mansions, travel the world, fill their war chests and LAUGH all the way to the bank with American, British, European and other Western infidel money.
Stop FINANCING and REWARDING Muslim terrorists, you horrifying monsters.
OLD GUY says
Screw Abbas, just another little man with a chip on his shoulder. We need to quit recognizing people like him as leaders of countries or political groups who claim they represent the people. Abbas represents himself and his bank account and could give a shit less about the people, they are only a tool to give him power. Stop the aid to these countries as it mostly pads the pockets of people like Abbas.

Amen old guy!

Just breaks my lil’ole pea-picking heart! All they are after is money from us to use against us!
