  • Why Aren’t Arab Leaders Calling on Hamas to End the War?

    02/17/2024 3:43:23 PM PST · by nickcarraway · 26 replies
    This week, Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas called on Hamas to reach a deal to free the Israeli hostages and spare Gaza additional death and destruction. The move was brazen — because while Hamas is distressingly popular among Palestinians, Pres. Abbas (who’s plagued by corruption charges) is not. Either way, it’s a call that the rest of the Middle East’s supposedly moderate Sunni Arab leaders could clearly learn from.

    Yisrael Beytenu leader MK Avigdor Liberman commented on the continued hostilities in Gaza and declared that the Oslo Accords could be considered defunct. "The 30-year-long Oslo experiment, in which we paid a heavy price in human lives, has come to its end," he wrote. "The recent events have proved beyond all doubt that a serial Holocaust denier, and someone who refused to denounce the October 7th massacre with even a single word, neither can nor should rule in Judea and Samaria, or the Gaza Strip." "We must say the truth: Two states for two peoples, a Palestinian nation, and giving...

    The peaceful protests were swiftly and violently crushed by the Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces. Again, those protests and the crackdown did not seem to be of any interest to many in the international community, especially the Western donors that fund the PA. Had the demonstrations taken place against Israel, they would doubtless have received extensive coverage and howls of outrage from the mainstream media in the West. The protesters have appealed to the European Union for help, to no avail. Attempts by the protesters to gain the attention to their plight from the international media have also been totally...

    Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas was recently caught badmouthing several countries, including the United States and his Arab neighbors, during a profanity-laced rant that raises new concerns about the 85-year-old leader's deteriorating health. The Arabic language rant is renewing speculation that Abbas—who is overweight and a heavy cigarette smoker—is in poor mental and physical health as he carries out his 16th year in office. His government is under great strain amid monumental regional shifts that have seen Israel make peace with its traditional Arab foes. When asked by an unidentified attendee at the Fatah political party's April 19 meeting what his...

    The Fatah movement headed by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas emphasizes its continued adherence to the "national struggle" as a means to counter all the "colonialist" plans which they believe seek to undermine the existence of the "Palestinian people" and their cause. Such "colonialist" plans range from the Balfour Declaration to US President Donald Trump's peace plan. On the occasion of the approaching 102nd anniversary of the statement by former British Foreign Minister Arthur Balfour in support of the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people, the Fatah movement called the Balfour Declaration a "historic crime" against humanity...
