Mahmoud Al-Habbash, a senior adviser to Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas, on Saturday declared that an American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital will destroy the peace process.

His comments followed reports that U.S. President Donald Trump could recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital as soon as Wednesday.

“Any American declaration of recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel – if there is one – would mean total destruction of the peace process," said Al-Habbash, who was quoted in Israeli media.

“The whole world will pay a price for any change or harm to the political reality of Jerusalem,” he warned. The Yediot Aharonot newspaper noted that Al-Habbash made the comments with Abbas standing at his side, meaning that Abbas fully backed the remarks.

“The Arab states stand by us, especially Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and the entire Arab-Islamic nation is united in one position,” Al-Habbash further claimed.

Hamas also responded to the reports earlier on Saturday, calling for a new "intifada" if Washington recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel or moves its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

"We warn against such a move and call on the Palestinian people to revive the intifada if these unjust decisions on Jerusalem are adopted," Hamas said in a statement.

STFU. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Peace? Did I miss something? Peace? When did that happen?

[Vendome]

So? Let it be written...

So? Let it be done...

[GoldenState_Rose]

What do the Israelis think? (Not about Jerusalem, but the *timing* of Trump’s speech.)

[Eleutheria5]

Perhaps he means piece. If Trump recognizes Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol, he won’t get to take a piece of it.

[Eleutheria5]

Better late than never IMHO.

1. There is no peace. And there will never be as long as muslims believe they can kill and rape infidels.

2. ““The whole world will pay a price for any change or harm to the political reality of Jerusalem,”

You really are full of it.

"'Any American declaration of recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel – if there is one – would mean total destruction of the peace process,' said Al-Habbash, who was quoted in Israeli media."

But the PA/Hamas and its predecessors have said and shown many times that they only want to conquer all of Israel and take it for themselves. They're not the only ones, either.

The terrorists are oblivious to the fact that they are only one group in a long line of usual suspects. Last night, yet another preacher on the radio was making dishonest excuses for Martin Luther's libels and supporting those libels while expressing his own religion's coveting of Israel and rejection of original morality.

Human beings won't be allowed to decide who will stay in Israel. It was already decided, was only decided once and will not change (Malachi 3:6).

"'The whole world will pay a price for any change or harm to the political reality of Jerusalem,' he warned."

Well, that's mighty political and worldly of him.

Peace usually means that neither side is trying to undermine the other through third parties.

Cross off “Consulate General” on the front of our office in Jerusalem and write in “Embassy”. Takes two minutes. Should have happened in January.

[GoldenState_Rose]

Oh ok. So they support this right now. Cool! Excited for Trump’s announcement.

The sons of Jacob as well as those sons of Jacob that they have inherited from among the gentiles...by means of the Spirit of adoption as Paul speaks of. That is what Malachi 3:6 speaks of.

Also deploy Marines around perimeter.

The "peace process" as practiced by the Palestinians and their enablers in our State Department is a farce, with the only goal being the marginalization and eventual extinction of Israel. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel - end of story.

What peace; there hasn’t been peace in Israel since May 14th 1948, there hasn’t been peace in the middle east in 3000 years.

[faithhopecharity]

Abbas and his damned plo- pa- Fatah terrorist murder gang need execution, NOW!... not publication

[gogeo]

Oh, piff.

The Palis don't want peace...they want a peace process.

He couldn’t even say it himself. He had his underling mouth the formulaic threat while he stood next to him, purporting to support him, while leaving the door open to repudiate, depending on the exigencies that develop.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Let’s remind the Nazi loving Abbas that Hitler and his regime LOST. He could and should be next.
