Abbas met Trump on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly gathering

is any proof to anything ... it attests to the seriousness of your
Excellency, Mr. President, to achieve the deal of the century in the
Middle East during this year or in the coming months, God willing,"

Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas expressed optimism on Wednesday about reaching a
peace agreement with Israel this year and said U.S. President Donald
Trump’s commitment to the issue would help create the “deal of the
century” in the region.
“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon
them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJV)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Abbas
dropped quite the bombshell today when he said that not only is peace
with Israel possible, but could happen this year. On top of that, Abbas
went on to give President Trump all the credit for making it happen when
and if it does take place. Typical Palestinian bluster…or…are we about
to witness the 7 Year Peace Treaty? Mr. Abbas, if that happens, it won’t
just be the ‘deal of the century’, it will fulfill 2,500 year old
prophecy. What a great time to be alive and a Bible believer.
Abbas met Trump on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly gathering of world leaders in New York and thanked him for his support.
“If
this is any proof to anything … it attests to the seriousness of your
Excellency, Mr. President, to achieve the deal of the century in the
Middle East during this year or in the coming months, God willing,”
Abbas said through an interpreter.
Trump said his team of advisers was working very hard on the issue, as were Israel, Saudi Arabia and other nations.
“IAbbas noted that the Palestinians had met with Trump’s team
think we have a very, very good chance, and I certainly will devote
everything within my heart and within my soul to get that deal made,”
Trump said. “We’re at a very important juncture, there’s a small period
of time, and we’re going to see what we can do. There can be no
promises, obviously,” he said.
more than 20 times since the U.S. president entered office in January,
and he said the fact that Jews and Muslims were celebrating a new year
was a positive sign.
“This is a very sweet coincidence that we can
celebrate the new year together within a 24-hour period, and if this is
an indication to anything, it means that we can coexist peacefully
together,” Abbas said.
Later at the U.N. gathering, Abbas urged
the 193-nation body to end the “Israeli occupation of the state of
Palestine” within a set timetable.
He also borrowed a campaign line of Trump’s, using the phrase “draining the swamp” as an argument
for addressing the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. Trump
used a similar phrase as a presidential candidate to criticize
politicians and policy making in Washington.
“Beyond any doubt,
draining the swamp of colonial occupation of our land and ending its
unjust, oppressive and illegal practices against our people would
greatly affect the fight against terrorism, depriving terrorist groups
of one of the key rallying cries they exploit to promote their repugnant
ideas,” Abbas said in his prepared remarks.
Trump met with
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the week. The
Israeli and Palestinian leaders both went out of their way to praise the
U.S. president.
The White House played down both meetings in
terms of their significance toward peace talks on one of the world’s
most intractable conflicts that has defied the peacemaking efforts of
several U.S. administrations going back decades.
The Palestinians seek to establish an independent state
in the Israeli occupied West Bank, territory captured in the 1967
Middle East war and the Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The Palestinian Authority’s ambassador to the United States, Husam
Zomlot, said “the meeting was forward-looking, and the conversation was
deep and frank between the two allies.”
The Palestinian Authority
said in a statement Abbas told Trump that “peace can be achieved through
implementing the two-state solution based on the 1967 borders.” Abbas
also said “the illegal Israeli settlements policy poses an immediate
threat” to that.
For at least two decades, the goal of U.S.-led
diplomacy has been a “two-state solution”, meaning an independent
Palestinian state living side-by-side and at peace with Israel.
But
neither Trump nor his aides have publicly recommitted to a two-state
solution, instead saying it is up to the two parties to work out in
peace talks. Abbas’ insistence on a return to 1967 pre-war borders is
something Israel has repeatedly rejected. source
