White House trying to impose a peace deal

The White House is trying to impose a Mideast peace deal. Here’s what you need to know.

A fascinating but dicey and possibly dangerous moment is rapidly approaching in the epicenter.

The Obama administration is about to tell the Israelis and Palestinians how to solve their problems. The White House is about to pressure both sides to agree “in principle” to an interim agreement, and then work on a final peace treaty. How the two sides will react is anyone’s bet. Could the dynamic actually lead to a peaceful resolution of an ancient conflict? Seems unlikely. Could it lead to a calm and quiet at least for a while? Sure, theoretically. But to be candid, it could also lead to political chaos, or even to renewed violence.

Let me explain as concisely as I can.

Within days, or at most a few weeks, Secretary of State John Kerry will present both sides with what he calls a “framework agreement.” Essentially, this is an American-crafted peace plan. Yes, it will be based on month after month of discussions with both sides, and with the Jordanians. But make no mistake: it’s the plan President Obama wants to impose on the two parties. It is supposed to create the context for the final peace treaty, which the White House wants negotiated, completed, and signed by the end of 2014.

There will be much in the “framework agreement” both sides don’t like. For example, the plan reportedly calls for dividing Jerusalem and turning into East Jerusalem into the Palestinian capital, something the Netanyahu team adamantly rejects. The plan also keeps Israeli troops helping patrol and secure the Jordan Valley for a period of years, something the Abbas team adamantly rejects. Nevertheless, the two sides are supposed to say “yes” to this interim deal, and then use it to craft a final and supposedly ”better” deal.

But this where the problems lie. There are many. Let’s consider just two.

First, the Obama team could inadvertently make the situation worse.

Thanks for posting Tyo.

Thanks for posting this, Tyo.  Oh dear, the entire world has learned about American ethics and its hidden agenda.  Divide Jerusalem?  That is going to cause quite a lot of anger to rise, I would think.  Just in time to usher in the tetrad of blood moons...

 

Our job now is to pray like never before...

May I have my coffee first?

  

*forgive - I tend to crack jokes when under great strain*

No sweat ~ we know how the story ends!

Zackly!!

Together!  Powerful!

Not surprised by this post:

"Secretary of State John Kerry is facing new criticism in Israel for invoking threatened boycotts of Israel as a key reason the Israeli government should agree to a framework peace agreement with the Palestinians. One government minister called Kerry’s statement “offensive.”

“[Y]ou see for Israel there’s an increasing de-legitimization campaign that has been building up. People are very sensitive to it. There are talk of boycotts and other kinds of things. Are we all going to be better with all of that?” Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz on Sunday morning said Israel cannot be pressured to negotiate with “a gun against its head” and that Kerry’s remarks were “offensive and unacceptable.”

John Kerry Faces New Criticism...


Very, Very Surprised by this one:

Israel's Channel 2 News reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman are all prepared to sign off on a non-binding version of the proposals, which, among other things, recommends:

The division of Jerusalem, though without going into specifics;

A gradual Israeli withdrawal from most of the "West Bank," while retaining control over large Jewish settlement blocs;

A limited land swap to compensate the Palestinians for the settlement blocs;

Recognition of Israel as a "Jewish state";

and Compensation for so-called "Palestinian refugees," but no "right of return" to Israel-proper.

Israel to Accept...


 

It's a rubber cookie ~ the palis will never 'recognize' Israel or grant them the right to exist and 'no right of return' is a deal breaker, too.

No, they never will.  Meanwhile, I will just keep chucklin' as the USA tries to manipulate God's plan...
