In a way as to assure the global community of the serious approach of USA in
changing political atmosphere following the presidential poll, US
President-elect Donald Trump said he wants to put an end to the
Israel-Palestinian conflict and thereby bring to the Mideast region. ''That's
the ultimate deal,'' Trump said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal,
referring to the complex conflict as the ''war that never ends.'' Just one day
after winning the election, Trump has asked hawkish Israeli PM Benjamin
Netanyahu to meet with him in the USA.
Israel brutally occupies Palestine territories and attacks Gaza strips, now
targeting women and children. UN is just watching the Zionist terror shows as
Palestinians conti8neu to bleed and yet they are called the terrorists by
leading US Zionists like Madam Clinton.
Relations between Israel and Palestine have been wrecked for decades, as
Palestinians have been seeking diplomatic recognition for their independent
state on the territories of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, which is
partially occupied by Israel, and the Gaza Strip.
The most recent round of peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians was
initiated by the United States in mid-2013 but ended in an impasse almost a
year later. USA plays mischief in the name of diplomacy with Palestine and
world. President Obama, like his predecessors had done, just could not push
the arrogant Israeli regime to come to terms with reality and agree for
peaceful resolution of the Mideast conflict, making the world vulnerable to
tensions and wars.
Peace has not been the motto of Obama as he intensified the wars launched by
roguish Bushdom leaders on the pretext of Sept-11 hoax.
President elect Trump is expected to choose peace in order to wind down all
terror wars. Hence his views on Palestine gains importance.
Trump noted that any deal should be directly negotiated between Israel and
Palestine, but that his government would play a ''significant role'' in
helping the parties to achieve a just, lasting peace,'' according to the Times
of Israel.
He also stated that Israel is a ''beacon of hope to countless people,'' and
that it shares the same values as the USA, such as ''freedom of speech,
freedom of worship and the importance of creating opportunities for all
citizens to pursue their dreams.''
Trump however does not elaborate what exactly are the ''values'' shared
between USA and Israel, except the ongoing illegal aggression and terror wars
and genocides of Muslims in Arab world.
The Israeli right hopes Trump's election will end the animosity between
Netanyahu's government and that of US President Obama's government, according
to the Jerusalem Post. However, two months are left before Obama leaves
office. As US State Department Spokesman Mark Toner told reporters in
Washington, ''I can't rule out that there may be a new initiative before the
end of this government.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian ambassador to Russia told Sputnik he hoped Donald
Trump would ''make some difference'' in the Palestinian-Israeli issue. Russian
President Vladimir Putin has offered Moscow as a venue for Israeli-Palestinian
talks. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev stated, ''Our country is ready
to act as a mediator.'' Russia called for the resumption of
Israeli-Palestinian dialogue on the basis of a two-state solution, stressing
its support for the Palestinian cause, the Palestinian news agency
Wafareported yesterday.
Speaking during a visit to Jericho in the occupied West Bank where he met
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev
said: ''This initiative is still on the table,'' in reference to talks being
held in Moscow without preconditions. ''Russia has always clung to its
consistent position which is that the solution of the Palestinian issue is a
priority and a prerequisite for the settlement of a fair and inclusive Middle
East based on the resolutions of the Security Council and General Assembly of
the United Nations.''
During their meeting, Abbas told Medvedev: ''We welcomed the invitation of
President Putin to hold a tripartite meeting in Moscow, but the Israeli side
requested a postponement.'' ''From a long time ago, we have been prepared for
a direct dialogue with the Israeli side.'' He added, however, that for those
talks to occur, the Palestinians would want Israel to accept that a two-state
solution would be based on the pre-1967 lines.
Medvedev met Israel's fanatic PM B Netanyahu on Thursday and Palestinian
President Abbas yesterday. He stressed that Moscow provides aid to Palestine
on a regular basis, and it has provided $40 million in recent years and
allocated an additional $5 million for the reconstruction of Gaza in 2015
after Israel's devastating summer war in 2014.
The Palestinian ambassador to Russia
told Sputnik his country hopes that cooperation between US President-elect
Donald Trump and Moscow on the Israel-Palestine issue will make a substantial
contribution to its peaceful resolution. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergei
Prikhodko said that Russia would continue to call on Israel and Palestine to
resume dialogue as soon as possible.
Palestinians seek diplomatic recognition by UN for their independent state on
the territories of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, which is partially
occupied by Israel, and the Gaza Strip. The Israeli government refuses to
recognize Palestine as an independent political and diplomatic entity, and
builds settlements on the occupied areas, despite objections from the United
Nations.
Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas earlier agreed to bilateral
talks in principle, but have repeatedly shifted blame onto the other side for
the lack of definite date for the negotiations.
Upon failure of the Obama regime to pressure Israel to agree for peace, France
took the initiative to pursue the peace goal. On June 3, 2016, an
international conference on the Israeli-Palestinian settlement took place in
Paris. Both Russia and the USA took part in the event as part of the Middle
East Quartet, which also includes the European Union and the United Nations.
The sides, as usual and without any seriousness and credibility, called on
Israel and Palestine to engage in direct negotiations on the basis of
corresponding UN Security Council resolutions.
The problem is the Quartet shamelessly continues to support Israeli criminal
regime. Outside the Middle East Quartet, Russia and the USA are not
cooperating on settling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In late September,
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a press conference following his
address to the UN General Assembly that Moscow continued working with both
Israel and Palestine to resume negotiations, noting that the parties were not
equally eager to consider the initiative. But USA does not allow Russia to
directly initiate any mediatory efforts and Russia needs US supports for its
economic goals.
The State of Palestine is recognized by 137 countries, including Russia. The
war in Syria has not changed the friendly relations maintained between the
Russian and Israeli armed forces, as no incidents have occurred that could
undermine these relations
Cunning Israel was one of the first countries to set up communications with
Russia in an effort to prevent accidents and dangerous incidents throughout
Russia's counter-terrorist campaign in Syria.
The Syrian civil war, broke out in 2011when armed opposition groups rose up
against the government of President Bashar Assad, is still on.. The conflict
has since grown in complexity and has given rise to a number of jihadist
terrorist groups inside Syria. Russia began its anti-terrorist aerial campaign
in September 2015 at the request of Assad.
Israel is eagerly waiting for more terror wars in Mideast by the Pentagon led
NATO so that it needs not worry about surrendering Palestinian territories
back to Palestinians themselves.
Trump should know mere worlds wont be enough to make Israel shed its criminal
mindset and agree for peace deal with Palestine. Mere ''talks'' won't do any
good for Palestinians and Mideast as Israel abruptly ends the talks by suing
its agents in Gaza Strip to fire toy missiles into Israel rocks. Like USA
Israel employs false pretexts and fake threat perceptions to accelerate
aggression and genocides of Muslims in Palestine.
As all his predecessors have failed to use the surer power statues to bring
Israel to any credible peace deal, Trump should adopt new techniques to end
wars I between Israel and Palestine, on the one hand, and between USA and Arab
nations, on the other.
If, however, Trump also is not sincere and plays just the usual US gimmicks,
nothing would change in Mideast. The terror blockades of Israel and Egypt
would continue to crush the youth of Palestine. Israel would continue to
attack and kill the besieged people Palestine.
