is a game afoot?
So it seems President Trump has a strong bark and people are worried about the bite behind it.
I am amazed at how leaders and governments around the world are shaking in their boots from Trump and at the first mention of anything by Trump they almost immediately cave on long-held positions. Without even any serious threat, without trying to call a bluff, without testing waters... just caving.
Trump made an angry comment about the Palestinian Authority's "pay for slay" program by which the PA pays terrorists and their families for their terror attacks against Israelis. The PA, after decades of ignoring complaints and threats from around the world over their pay for slay policy today revoked that policy on a dime.
I am happy they revoked, and curious why they suddenly did after one word by Trump. I do worry that there might be a game afoot. Perhaps Abbas is trying to get on Trump's good side, in light of Trump talking about banishing everyone from Gaza (Maybe Abbas is worried Trump will banish them from Judea and Samaria next, considering how PM Netanyahu has stressed to Trump that the PA is as bad as Hamas)... Will Abbas find a way to funnel the money to the terrorists but slightly less publicly?
If Abbas actually stops these payments, will the terrorists and general Palestinian public, many of whom rely on tat money, rise up against him? Can he stop these payments, even if he says he is?

On one hand, the Arabs might just come up with a new "Early deceased" pension for those under a certain age who died a violent death from any cause and be selective with the applications.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, the Arabs aren't imaginative. If they'd accepted partition in 1936, they'd have had the whole thing by 1937 but their honour precluded them from doing that. So who knows now?
Surprise! Abbas lied. He's just channeling the funding through some independent agency.
ReplyDeleteThis change was negotiated with the Biden administration. Abbas held off on announcing it until now to curry favor with the new administration.
