Almighty God's will be done - ready or not!
The Islamic countries would be better served following the example of how Israel operates and builds prosperity in just about all areas of life! Just maybe then their over all welfare and countries would improve - just by leaving Israel alone! Try it your people will like it!
==========================================
In
about three weeks, Barack Obama will do something he has done 15 times
before during his two terms as president of the United States, something
some Israelis hope his successor, Donald J. Trump, will not do even
once: He will sign a presidential waiver halting his legal obligation to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Citing
the “authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States,” Obama will determine once more “that it is
necessary, in order to protect the national security interests of the
United States,” to suspend Congress’s 1995 decision to recognize
Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and transfer to it the embassy and the
ambassador’s residence.
Obama is not the first president to sign this waiver. Bill Clinton and
the born-again Christian George W. Bush did it twice a year, thus
continually betraying their own campaign pledges.
But
Trump is a wildcard, and more than a week after he won the elections it
still unclear what policies he will pursue in the Middle East —
including whether he will adhere to widely accepted diplomatic dogma and
join the list of presidents postponing the embassy’s move every six
months, or actually make good on his campaign pledge and order the move.
The
most often cited argument against recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s
capital and moving the embassy there is that this is a step that should
be taken only after the successful conclusion of an Israeli-Palestinian
peace deal. The status of Jerusalem is subject to bilateral
negotiations, diplomats generally argue, and relocating the embassy as a
gesture to Israel before a final-status agreement is signed would
greatly anger Ramallah — sending an already moribund peace process to
its certain death — and raise the ire of the larger Arab world and thus
destabilize the entire region.
Trump, who campaigned with the promise to do things differently, could throw these traditional axioms out of the window.
Although he portrays himself as a strong supporter of Israel, at one point during the campaign (in February) he
suggested that he would let Israelis and Palestinians try to reach
peace by themselves, without taking too much of a position on the
conflict, Rynhold recalled. “How does moving the embassy fit onto this? I
don’t think he knows.”
To be sure, the Manhattan real estate mogul-turned-politician declared unequivocally, in an address to AIPAC in March,
that he intends to “move the American embassy to the eternal capital of
the Jewish people, Jerusalem.” In a television interview that month he
said he would do it “fairly quickly.”
“If Donald Trump appoints people like [former US national security
advisor] Stephen Hadley or [Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman]
Bob Corker, we will see much more continuity. These are folks that have
been doing it for years and are a part of the Washington consensus.
They understand there’s a reason why the US hasn’t moved the embassy,
and therefore I don’t think you’d see a shift,” Goldenberg said.
“However, if he’ll appoint more out-of-the-box characters — then everything is possible.”
If Trump did decide to break with tradition, there is little that
would stand in his way. For him to deliver on his election promise he
could simply decide not to sign the presidential waiver.
The American Constitution gives the president the prerogative to
recognize foreign countries and borders, even against the better council
of his cabinet and other advisers. Discussing the Emancipation
Declaration, Abraham Lincoln was outvoted unanimously by his cabinet. He
ended the debate by saying: “Seven nays and one aye, the ayes have it.”
Iran has been prodding Palestinian jihadists to resume hostilities against Israel, a Palestinian security official told Breitbart Jerusalem.
He said that Palestinian security services have noticed increased
efforts on the part of the Iran-financed Islamic Jihad terrorist
organization in Gaza to recruit West Bank operatives, especially in and
around the cities of Hebron and Jenin.
Palestinian Authority officials have been prevented from operating in
Gaza since the 2007 coup in which Hamas seized control of the territory,
but according to intelligence collected by the PA, Iranian
Revolutionary Guard officials have pressured Islamic Jihad to set up a
terrorist infrastructure in the West Bank.
The official
states that Iran, encouraged by Hamas’ success in restoring its
infrastructure in the West Bank, charged Hezbollah with recruiting
militants formerly associated with Fatah’s military wing, and has more
recently turned to Islamic Jihad in hopes that the terror group would
rebuild its own West Bank infrastructure, which was left in ruins at the
end of the second intifada.
Last week, the Israeli media reported that
members of an Islamic Jihad cell were arrested after they planned to
carry out an attack on a wedding in the south of Israel and kidnap
soldiers.
Among
the detainees were an Islamic Jihad operative who was arrested upon
attempting to enter Israel as an international businessman, two
Palestinians who resided in Israel illegally, and an Arab Israeli man.
The
Palestinian official said that the Islamic Jihad operative’s cover was
blown when he insisted on entering Israel despite having lost contact
with his collaborators, who had been arrested.
He said that Iran’s attempts to rekindle Islamic Jihad’s terrorist activity are likely to continue.
He also said that an Islamic Jihad activist who was recently arrested
near Jenin said that he had been recruited by Gaza operatives and told
interrogators that some of the group’s funds originated in Iran.
