Addressing reporters Sunday at Ben-Gurion Airport, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed optimism about his upcoming meeting with President Donald Trump and his “deal of the century,” comparing the American president to his predecessor, whose Mideast peace plan, according to the Israeli premier, presented an existential threat to the Jewish state.

Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas, reacting to US President Donald Trump’s soon-to-be-released Middle East peace plan, rejected a phone call from the American leader, according to a US official, the state-run Turkish Anadolu Agency reported Monday.
PA Social Affairs Minister Ahmad Majdalani confirmed the Anadolu report to the Gaza-based Dunia al-Watan news site, stating that Abbas recently “refused a phone call from Trump.”
According to sources, Abbas said to Fatah Central Committee members that Trump is “a dog, son of a b**ch, a violent man who wants to force us into a program we’re not interested in.”
With Israeli leaders by his side, the American president prepared to “make history” by releasing an ambitious Mideast peace plan that he believes has a “very good chance” of success.
President Donald Trump said Monday that while the Palestinians have already rejected his proposed Mideast peace deal with Israel, he expects they ultimately will agree to the blueprint the White House plans to announce following meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his chief challenger Benny Gantz.
While Trump is expected to publicly release the plan on Tuesday, the Palestinians soundly rejected the plan, without first learning its contents.
“It’s something [the Palestinians] should want,” Trump said in the Oval Office with Netanyahu. “They probably won’t want it initially. I think in the end they will. I think in the end they’re going to want it. It’s very good for them.”
He called it a “suggestion” for Israel and the Palestinians and then referred to the long-awaited plan as a “very big plan.” At the same time, Trump hinted that he knows the Palestinians might not accept it.
“We’ll see what happens,” Trump said. “Without them, we don’t do the deal. That’s OK. … We think that there is a very good chance that they’re going to want this.”
‘Deal of the Century’On Monday, Netanyahu hailed Trump’s “Deal of the Century” as a chance to “make history” and define Israel’s final borders.
In the run-up to Israel’s March 2 vote, Netanyahu has vowed to extend Israeli sovereignty to all Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh denounced the still-unpublished proposal again Monday in Ramallah, saying it “doesn’t constitute a basis for resolving the conflict.”
The Palestinians have boycotted the Trump administration for two years.
A Palestinian official said that President Mahmoud Abbas has rejected overtures from mediators in recent weeks to arrange a phone call with Trump. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was discussing a classified diplomatic issue.
In recent years, the Trump administration recognized Israel’s capital, Jerusalem, moving the U.S. Embassy there. It also closed Palestinian diplomatic offices in Washington and cut funding to the Palestinians.

Islam is a terrorist organization disguised as a religion. The world needs to wake up, accept it and deal with this death cult accordingly.

UK Approves Huawei 5G, Throws Roadblocks in Path of Post-Brexit Trade Deal
OLIVER JJ LANE 28 Jan 2020
The United Kingdom has shrugged off concerns of handing China a back-door key to the nation’s critical national infrastructure and spiking post-Brexit trade with key Anglosphere allies, signing off the involvement of Huawei in the future 5G data networks.
Tech giant Huawei, a company critics claim is controlled by the Chinese government and uses its advanced, cheap, and pervasive equipment to commit espionage on foreign powers — claims the company strongly denies — will have a so-called limited role in the rollout of next-generation 5G technology, the British government has decided.

WHAT AN IDIOT! China will SPY on you and jeopardize intelligence sharing and Five Eyes. China has also been getting cozier with Russia and Russia is cozy with Muslim countries that are our enemies….you get the idea…

It’s about time someone tells the Palestinians, “Here’s the deal. Take it or leave it. And by ‘leave it,’ we mean the West Bank.”

The fake-a-stinians don’t want Trump’s deal. Because the fake-a-stinians do not want peace. PERIOD.
