Ynet News—Abbas calls for int’l peace conference by mid-2018:

Addressing UN Security Council, PA president slams US ‘illegal’ decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, demands UN recognize ‘State of Palestine as a full UN member’; Israel’s Envoy Danny Danon: ‘Mr. Abbas, you are not part of the solution. You are the problem.’

Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas called Tuesday for an international Middle East peace conference to be convened by the middle of 2018, and slammed US President Donald Trump’s “illegal and dangerous decision” to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Addressing the United Nations Security Council, Abbas said that Trump “removed Jerusalem from the table for no reason,” adding that “Israel is acting as a state above the law.”

“We call for an international peace conference by the middle of 2018 that will accept the State of Palestinian as a full UN member,” Abbas said. “We call on the Security Council to do this.”

There is no conflict in which others do not intervene, he added. “We also demand this—other officials in the international community, an international conference that responds with international legitimacy.

“It has become impossible today for one country or state alone to solve a regional or international conflict,” Abbas said. “It is essential to establish a multilateral international mechanism emanating from an international conference.”

The Palestinians no longer view Washington as a neutral negotiator and have been calling for a collective approach to try and broker Middle East peace. In addition to anger over Trump’s embassy decision in December, they are also furious over his decision to cut US funding for the UN agency that helps Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).

“Our position is clear,” he began. “We refuse to use weapons of any kind. We call not only for disarmament of nuclear weapons but also of conventional weapons. We continue to spread the word of peace. We refuse to engage in violence and are building schools and hospitals, industrial areas and agriculture. We are not purchasing tanks and planes.

“For the price of a tank a school can be built and a new generation. This is better than any kind of weapon. We fight against terror everywhere in the world,” Abbas claimed.

He said that Israel had turned the issue of settlements from a temporary situation to permanent colonization.

“How can this be? Israel closed the door on a two-state solution,” he said. “Our problem is not with Jews who believe, but only with the occupiers of our land and those who prevent us from independence and liberty.”

Addressing the Security Council immediately after Abbas was Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon.

“Mr. Secretary-General. I expected Mr. Abbas to stay with us and have a dialogue. Unfortunately, once again he is running away,” Danon began.

“Look what just happened in this room. Mr. Abbas came in, he put his demands on the table and he is expecting you to deliver the results. It’s not going to work that way.”

SnyderTalk Comment:

Mahmoud Abbas is a chronic liar and a thief. He has Israeli blood on his hands.

Because of Abbas and people like him, Israel must be prepared at all times to defend herself.

See:

I am so thankful that President Trump is in charge and that he appointed Nikki Haley to serve as U.N. ambassador.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
