Already the Palestinian Authority, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and other jihadist thugs are making demands and compiling wish lists for a Biden administration, since they view him as a dhimmi. This does not bode well for Israel.
“President Mahmoud Abbas is ready for immediate engagement when there is a partner and a serious process with clear terms of reference,” said Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh. They want the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital reversed and their diplomatic mission in Washington reopened. They also, of course, want the American aid to flow to them again.
“Abbas Finally Congratulates Biden, Said to Demand Reversal of Embassy Move,” by Deborah Danan, Breitbart, November 9, 2020:
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday called on self-proclaimed president-elect Joe Biden to “strengthen the Palestinian-American relationship,” and was cited by a senior source as seeking the reversal of the U.S. embassy move by the incoming administration.
“I look forward to working with President-elect Joe Biden and his administration to strengthen the Palestinian-American relationship and achieve freedom and independence, justice and dignity for our people, as well as work for peace, stability and security for all in our region and the world,” Abbas said in a statement.
Palestinian ambassador to the UK Hussam Zomlot, who previously served as the envoy to Washington until the Trump administration expelled him and shuttered the diplomatic mission in Washington, hailed the “historic & inspiring elections.”
“I sense the excitement of those who aspire to a just and lasting peace in Palestine. Engagement based on mutual respect, freedom, justice and equality must be the way forward,” Zomlot wrote on Twitter.
Biden, whom the Associated Press declared president-elect on Saturday, has already tasked his transition team with focusing on how to leverage the “executive power” of the Oval Office, according to the Washington Post.
PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said Abbas is ready for “immediate engagement” with the U.S. if their terms are met. He later added he hoped the Biden transition team will place the Palestinian cause on “their list of priorities.”
“We look forward to constructive bilateral U.S.-Palestinian relations towards achieving a just and lasting peace within the frame of two states and ending the Israeli occupation,” Shtayyeh said.
“President Mahmoud Abbas is ready for immediate engagement when there is a partner and a serious process with clear terms of reference,” Shtayyeh said.
The Israel Hayom daily quoted an unnamed senior official in Abbas’s office as raising concerns that Biden would be too pro-Israel.
“He is a veteran politician of the Democratic Party and belongs to a wing of the Democratic Party that sees Israel as an asset and not a burden,” the source told the newspaper.
According to the official, Abbas may be one of the first Arab leaders to meet with Biden and will demand that the president-elect immediately revert Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital and the subsequent embassy move there.
Close Abbas aide Nabil Shaath said the PA will also demand that the U.S. reopen the diplomatic mission in Washington, as well renew American aid to the Palestinians and to the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees and their descendants UNRWA, both of which Trump stopped over the Palestinians so-called pay-for-slay scheme paying terrorists and their families…..

Payola is back. Biden is a setback for peace in the region. He will naively fund the Arab terrorist groups thinking that that will give him control of them.

Since 1920, the Pallies have been given the choice of Jordan or Israel. There never was a third choice.
Walter Sieruk says
The PA president Abbas along with the other jihad minded Muslim leaders who congratulate and like Biden and likewise hate Israel have exposed his own ignorance of both the Bible and history
For The Islamic agenda of many Islamic terror organizations as Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, P.I.J. etc. of destroying the State of Israel and replacing it with an Islamic “state” is already as lost cause. This is because those Islamic groups with that goal are all fated to lose in the end. For that agenda of those Jihad terror entities are greatly overruled by the God of the Bible. For the Jewish people have every right to all of that land, including the West Bank, by Divine Right. As seen, for example, in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:48, 49. Psalms 105:7-11. 135:4. Furthermore, the Jewish people should also have that land by historic rights. As found in First Kings 4:20,21,24,25. 8:55,56.
In conclusion, the jihadists members of Hezbollah, Hamas, P.I.J. and other like-minded Islamic organizations have joined a lost cause and a bad cause.
It may even rightfully be said that the jihadists of such Islamic entities have taken up a stand for a bad cause. This is a bad cause to the extreme. The Bible instructs in much wisdom, as in “Do not stand up for a bad cause.” Ecclesiastes 8:3. [N.I.V.]
Keith O says
Walter, You only have to take your head out of those other man made documents, the bibles, and simply look at the situation in the middle east from a standpoint of logic to see that the Jews have a historical claim to the area going back several thousand years.
Islamists don’t want the state of Israel to exist because it is a thorn in the side of their totalitarian plans.
Then when you combine the greed and evil intent of Abbas with that of Biden and his lefty mates, well, it doesn’t bode well for the safety and security of the civilised world.
Tony Naim says
If Jews relinquish control over their destiny, they will end up like the Christians of the Middle East, either dead, second class citizens or forced out.

Very true, Tony. This is what things were like for Jews in Muslim lands before Israel. It is still like this for Jews in the few Muslim countries they remain in, like Iran.
somehistory says
Always demanding. And this is **rich**: mutual respect, freedom, justice and equality ” The plo doesn’t respect anyone…after all, it’s made up of moslims and they never respect other people, their rights or needs.
moslims don’t offer real ‘peace,’ and neither do they offer real freedom, justice and equality is something they reject. moslims see themselves as superior to everyone else and deny them justice and freedom at every turn.
They want American money to fund their terror actions and reward their terrorists, pay the families when the terrorist is killed, maintaining the families indefinitely. They always want more and more money and this abbas creep puts gazillions in his own pockets.
Personally, when someone demands something, they must have some authority over me for me to comply. These thugs, moslim terrorists all, call themselves an “authority,” but they have none over others, including and esp, the U.S.
And they…the plo, a.k.a. the p.a. is the “burden’…for Israel and the U.S. as well as other countries that have dealt with them in attempts to get them to act like humans and not demonic psychopaths. Those efforts have always fail,ed and will always, fail. moslims are arrogant, unreasonable and filled with the evils of islam. No peace with them is possible, and giving them money just funds terrorism. They never have enough money because they are never done with striking terror.
They can all go jump in the Mediterranean Sea and demand the fish to surrender. Perhaps a hungry shark, controlled by Israel, could wander by.
There is a “lake” waiting for these enemies of Jesus Christ.

Palestinian Authority President Abbas joins chorus of leaders congratulating Biden, issues first demands
……………
All these Jihadists hope they can push Biden around–and they are probably right…
Goofy says
O my, BLM, Iran and the Palestinian authority are already lining up with their demands! Biden has already sold the skin before having shot the bear! Deep down I think that he wishes, even prays for an honest outcome of the presidential election and that Trump will save him! After 47 years in office truth may suddenly get a strange appeal!
