Shalom!
The Times of Israel is reporting that despite the fact President Trump will arrive in Israel just in time for the 50th Jerusalem Day celebration, he will not, in fact, keep his bold campaign promise of moving the American Embassy from Tel Aviv (not our capital) to Jerusalem (our capital).
Breaking Israel News is also reporting the headline: “It’s Official: Trump Breaks Promise to Move Embassy to Jerusalem.”
According to officials, with everyone playing so nice in the Middle East, there is no reason to do something so controversial. Really? Has anyone told the Trump officials that Mahmoud Abbas just named a public square after a cold-blooded Jew-killer?
Earlier this week a square in the West Bank city of Tulkarm was named after Maher Younis, who has been in prison in Israel since 1983 for the killing of IDF soldier Avraham Bromberg in 1980. The square, in the Palestinian city located just eight kilometers east of the Israeli [coastal] city of Netanyah, was dedicated in a public ceremony attended by the mayor and other local dignitaries.
Of course, this was only days after Abbas told President Trump that Palestinians teach their children peace:
“Mr. President, I affirm to you that we are raising our youth, our children, our grandchildren on a culture of peace. And we are endeavoring to bring about security, freedom and peace for our children to live like the other children in the world, along with the Israeli children in peace, freedom and security.”
And then he proceeded to tell the president that the Loch Ness Monster actually lives in the Dead Sea and is controlled by the Mossad. Actually, that is more believable than the idea that the Palestinians are teaching their children peace.
Earlier this month, Abbas honored the mother of four imprisoned sons, serving life sentences.
PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas himself received her and other relatives of terrorist prisoners at his office last month, and a Fatah leadership delegation visited her at home.
