[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....
meets with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry today in Ramallah to discuss "the latest developments in the Paleostinian scene," the Paleostinian Authority official WAFA news agency says.
Shoukry expressed "Egypt’s support for the Paleostinian cause and the rights of the Paleostinian people, first and foremost of which is their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent, sovereign state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital," according to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry.
...ritualistic words that no longer have any meaning, since Israel will never agree — and neither will the Palestinians...
"Egypt rejects any unilateral decisions or movements, including Israel’s annexation of Paleostinian lands in the West Bank," the Foreign Ministry says in a statement.That’s nice.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi also spoke with Abbas yesterday, both sides reported. A spokesperson for al-Sissi’s office said the Egyptian leader stressed "the firm principles of Egypt’s position on the Paleostinian question, as well as the continuity of close coordination with our Paleostinian brothers, with the aim of developing a strategic vision for realizing peace," according to the Egyptian daily al-Youm al-Sabea.Shoukry has been doing the rounds in the region. He met Sunday with King Abdullah II of Jordan, as well as Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi. The two sides discussed the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men..., regional security cooperation and "the Paleostinian cause," the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Egypt-Jordan security cooperation around controlling various jihadi groups would no doubt be a good thing. The Palestinian cause, however, is lost.
