Prior to the January 28 announcement of Trump’s “deal of the century,” Palestinians rushed to dismiss the plan. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas continues to vehemently reject the attempt to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict.
At an emergency meeting of Arab League foreign ministers in Cairo, Egypt, Abbas severed all relations with Israel and the U.S., showing a blatant disregard for the “Peace to Prosperity” plan.
“We informed them that Israel has abrogated the agreements signed with the Palestinians and violated the international legitimacy on which these agreements are based,” Abbas said on Saturday.
Yesterday, hundreds of protesters gathered near the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in opposition of the plan for ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Phil Haney, a founding member of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, tells OneNewsNow that any forward movement on the deal depended almost entirely on the Palestinians.
“Deciding against good faith in the proposal exposes an advantage to Israel,” Haney explains, “because the Palestinians have shown to the whole world that they really don’t have any sincere desire to make peace with Israel.
“Abbas’ refusal to accept the plan is going to marginalize him forever by history,” the author of “See Something, Say Nothing” states. “Now is his moment. He’s checked; he cannot move.”
The former homeland security official continues: “There are a lot of internal fractures and fissures within the Palestinian community, namely Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). These fractures stake their whole existence on not recognizing the State of Israel.”
Any criticism by the Palestinian people to the leadership of Hamas, PIJ, the PFLP, or the Palestinian Authority leads to being dealt with “brutally” by the organization, Haney states. Because freedom of expression does not exist in the Palestinian society, he says “the people do not have an outlet for even considering peace, and this puts more pressure on their entire social structure.”
“The Palestinian people are under intense pressure and do not really have a lot of options – and that’s going to become more evident in the near future,” Haney determines.
Haney points out “a number of other dangerous undercurrents bubbling below the surface.” For example, one day prior to Trump’s historic offer for peace in the Middle East, the Islamic State (ISIS) released a number of statements made by its spokesman Abu Hamzah Al-Qurashi through their media arm Al-Furqan.
Speaking on behalf of the new ISIS Leader, Abu Ibrahim Al-Hashemi Al-Qurashi expressed his disapproval of the peace deal:
“Oh soldiers of the caliphate everywhere, especially in beloved Sinai and blessed Syria, go for the Israeli settlements and marketplaces. Turn them into lands for testing your weapons and chemical rockets and other types [of weapons]. To the Muslims in Palestine and all countries: Be a spearhead in the war against the Jews and in thwarting their plans and their ‘Deal of the Century.'”
The ISIS spokesman urged Muslims worldwide to join the fight against Israel and the United States:
“We call upon you to join the soldiers of the caliphate, who are exerting themselves to remove the borders and the obstacles standing between them and fighting the Jews, who are determined, with Allah’s permission, to topple the armies and bring down the thrones, formed by the Crusaders to be a protecting force for the Israelites, and incite their brothers everywhere to attack the Jews and slaughter them, inside Palestine and outside Palestine, and kill them wherever they can find them …”
Although ISIS has suffered a loss of its territory and the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the war against ISIS is far from over.
“They still exist as an organization and the pieces are still there,” Haney contends, emphasizing that the alliance formed between ISIS and other jihadi groups in the near east as well as in Africa still exist. “Their infrastructure remains and there are plenty of affiliated organizations within their reach,” he adds.
Additionally, in the midst of so-called called peace negotiations with the Taliban, the group has condemned President Trump’s deal. Haney says the Taliban’s level of violence in Afghanistan is higher now than it’s ever been.
“The Taliban itself is coming out declaring Jerusalem is the rightful home of the Palestinians and Muslims everywhere in the world should rise and oppose the deal,” he offers.
“And don’t forget about the direct threats of Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS),” he adds. “Their goal – which is plainly stated in their Code of Conduct – is to target Israelis and Americans everywhere in the world.”
Following the precision strike against Qassem Soleimani, Haney also says he isn’t surprised the Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani has also called upon Islamic countries to oppose Trump’s proposal. Haney draws attention to the threats of suicide bombing attacks against Americans in the Middle East, stating the rhetoric is exactly the same.
“They called for jihad because we took out Soleimani, and now they’re calling for jihad because we’ve proposed a peace deal for Israel,” he notes.
The declarations and statements issued by all these organizations are “virtually identical,” according to Haney. “They’re all issuing statements that are direct threats – and these threats are not subtle,” he tells OneNewsNow.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan as well as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) also reject the plan for peace, he adds.
“If there was any question in people’s minds about the real nature and personality of these global groups, they now have their answer,” Haney states. “The masks are off and they’re revealing exactly who they have been all along – and Trump’s peace proposal helped bring it all out into the wide open for all to see.”
In a concluding thought, Haney suggests the world should “watch carefully” how the U.N. decides to respond.
“Will they participate in good faith – or will they do what they often do and issue resolutions condemning Israel for x, y, and z crimes?” he wonders. “This is a moment for the entire world to clearly see exactly where the U.N. stands on Israel’s security as the State of Israel.”

Thanks for this informative article by J.M.Phelps.
Phil Haney raises many fine points that show he is one of the most alert observers of the Pally conspiracy!
“… the Palestinians have shown to the whole world that they really don’t have any sincere desire to make peace with Israel … now they’re calling for jihad because we’ve proposed a peace deal for Israel,” he notes.”
Haney notes that the Pallies have been placed by the peace proposal ‘in check’ and cannot move.
The Pallies have responded with their DEFAULT POSITION of jihad until victory.
The Pallies are default-jihadists and so they will continue their PAY-FOR-SLAY program in order to recruit slayers to attack Israelis and Americans.
Plus ça change …

mortimer,
You certainly correct regarding Phil Haney. He’s the “real deal” and has some great videos on YouTube…

That al Qaeda jihadist who “mastermind” of the September 11, 2001 those jihad mass murder attacks, Khalid Sheik Mohammad , had confidently declared “We will win because Americans don’t realize …we do not need to defeat you militarily; we only need to fight long enough for you to defeat yourself by quitting.” That arrogant boast of by KSM should serve as a reminder that we, as Americans, need to and should stand firm ,with great fortitude, in this War of Idea’s and struggle against the jihadist who are always busy scheming to engage in mad Islamic quest by the means of the stealth jihad and the violent jihad violent . In other words, the jihadists means the conquest for supreme power and control of Islam over the West,, either by hook or by crook.
Therefore ,all good Americans should maintain a strong vigilant fortitude against Islamic strategies , savagely and tyranny. As Thomas Jefferson had, so well, explained “Fortitude…teaches us to meet and surmount difficulties; not to fly from them.”
Furthermore, there are still other jihadist chiefs around as on the loose ,as KSM, who are engaged in Islamic scheming to have their jihadist /stooges future Islamic terrorist attack against Americans and America.. Therefore , we ,as Americans , should not live in fear or be afraid to go to difference place and do different things ,yet even though we should feel no fear we should keep aware of our surrounding and be alert for anything that seems not to look quite right. As in “What’s wrong with this picture?” Then if something questionable is seen then it’s important to go and tell the right person about it. As example, In NY.NY a tee-shirt vendor saw some smoke come out of a parked van and so he went and informed as police officer about it. As it has been said “If you see something, say something.” To put this in another way, the wise words of Thomas Jefferson apply more now more than those words of wisdom did in his own time. For Mr. Jefferson declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”

Expert: Threats of jihad against U.S., Israel are real
……………………..
True–the “Palestinians” are already lobbing more missiles at Israel.
ElderlyZionist says
“Islamic leaders and organizations are threatening the world and vowing to target Israelis and Americans worldwide.”
That’s nothing new. They threatened yesterday. They’ll threaten tomorrow. They’ll strike whenever they get an opportunity. It’s normal. We deal with it.

Strange how the Politicos/MSM don’t mention Islam when they talk about the rise of Anti-Semitism in Europe. But hey it’s so much more PC to blame Neo-Nazis.
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 791:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “The Jews will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew behind me; kill him!’ “

Phil Haney has my most admired respect, his knowledge is vast. His intelligence is needed every day at our borders and airports. Under the O”s adimistration and creation of the CVE, he was under constant investigation by our national security deep state, one world mind. Since the purge of intelligence that may still exist and hidjra members were waved into our intelligence to avoid knowing the threat, while the influence spread and the migration bulldozed thru our unprotected borders preparing for a counter state of sharia law of Islam to work to replace and discredit our beleifs and Constitution that needs protection. The lefts sanctuary cities were untouchable, and provided protection for the entering jihadists. The CVE, eliminates some real threats by allowing the organizations that represents the arriving counter state to grow and are given legitimacy and cover for a counter Islam rule to emerge as peaceful, hiding ties to conquest thru terror and deception of peace.
I sometimes wonder if Israel even knows the internal script of Islam as deceptive, they have tried for years with treaties that go no where and could never work knowing the doctrine of sharia law.

Add to this the chaos of Iowa, and the five mosques set up as caucas for democratic candiates and Sanders was promoted to bring in socialism, while being play by Islam once again. Using our freedoms of movement to influence our demise. The exposure of the mosques in play was in Brietbart news and it shows the organized collusion, that will only be to effect the election process.
