US Secretary of State John Kerry will meet Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and Jordan's King Abdullah II on the sidelines of economic talks in Egypt on Friday, US officials said.
The talks are likely to focus on the economic crisis facing the Palestinian Authority and could be a four-way meeting which would also include Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, a State Department official said. "We continue to be concerned about the PA," the official told reporters travelling with Kerry on his plane to the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
"It’s really part of the continuous, ongoing conversation we’re having with the critical stakeholders here," the official said Thursday, asking not to be named.
Kerry is due to arrive Friday at the resort to attend an international economic conference, set to burnish Sisi's global credentials.
Egypt hopes the foreign investor conference will jump-start its battered economy while showcasing international support for Sisi as he battles radical Islamist opponents.
Last month, the US voiced fears that the Palestinian Authority may be teetering on the brink of collapse because of a lack of funding, as Israel withholds taxes and donor aid stalls.
In January, Israel suspended $127 million in tax revenues which should have been transferred to the Palestinian Authority as punishment for its move to join the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The Palestinians' membership in the ICC, which takes effect on April 1, sets the scene for potential legal action against Israelis for alleged war crimes, in a move which has infuriated Jerusalem.
Kerry led a bid last year to try to reach an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, but his efforts collapsed amid bitter recriminations by both sides.
Kerry’s wife has lots of money. They could fund the poor, downtrodden terrorists.
Of course nothing political about it, ....nah
Will The Sissy meet with Al-Sisi?
Are they saying that the International Left's hobby horse isn't a thriving self-sustaining enterprise?
How can that be? So much human capital there - Such a culture of innovation and enterprise - Such stability and rule-of-law - This is shocking!
Coordinating efforts with with America’s enemies is his specialty.
“the economic crisis facing the Palestinian Authority”? What about that big mouse character, that ain’t right either. But asking a Democrat for economic advice will at least guarantee great unemployment numbers, part-time jobs, food-stamps, and free medical insurance!
So much for the Kerry-Obama LIE that they do not
want to interfere with an election.
Is there ever a time Kerry and Obama do not
eagerly preen before murderers like Abbas
(financier of the Munich Atrocity)?
“”Last month, the US voiced fears that the Palestinian Authority may be teetering on the brink of collapse because of a lack of funding, as Israel withholds taxes and donor aid stalls.””
Mercy - that would be absolutely horrible! Can’t imagine anything worse! Let the terrorists send money to them but I’m sure it will be US who will be sending them more money! We can only hope that Kerry admits he’s been a terrible failure and decides to end it all!!! In the best possible way, of course. He and obozo and Clinton figured they’d go down in history leaving a legacy no one else has ever managed...let it be a legacy of F A I L U R E! Big time failure! AND LET US AND ISRAEL SURVIVE IT!
“”Will The Sissy meet with Al-Sisi?””
I hope not. Our hopes are pinned on Al-Sisi being the logic of the region with the exception of Israel. I wish he would refuse to meet him - has a prior commitment like a golf date!!!! Wouldn’t that frost Kerry?
Traitors just be traitors.
Kerry is a piss filled traitor. He proved that in Paris long ago.
STILL trying to undermine Israel while promoting his terrorist mass-murder comrades (PA/PLO/Fatah/Hamas/Hezbellah/Muslim Brotherhood/ISIS/Iran IslamoNazis/AlQuaida/etc etc and etc)
day after day adter day
week after week after week
year after year after year
and he’s still allowed to stay in the WH
(without even articles of impeachment! Boehner keeps protecting him!!!!?????)
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
