The Americans, the Saudis and the irrelevant Palestinian leader

[SAT]

The articles out there about Israel today are absolutely intriguing.

According to reports, the head of the Palestinian intelligence apparatuses in Ramallah, Majed Faraj, was secretly summoned to Riyadh, where the head of the Saudi intelligence services handed him the unfinished draft of the regional the deal of the century being prepared by the American president: Thirty-five pages outlining the future Palestinian state within temporary borders on half of the West Bank territories, rejecting the debate on east Jerusalem's

status to an unknown date, and proposing only concrete and human solutions concerning the right of return for refugees.

Most importantly, the plan stresses that Trump's deal of the century would be implemented with or without the Palestinians' consent. With them or without them. Just like the American president said in his first days in the White House: If they want it, they'll take it. If they don't want it, we'll do just fine without them

Last night in Jerusalem..

Putin not remotely antisemitic, says Russia's Chief Rabbi

Russian Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar, who is currently in Israel, in a public conversation on Monday night with Steve Linde, Editor in Chief of The Jerusalem Report, told a packed auditorium in Beit Avi Chai in Jerusalem that Putin is not remotely antisemitic and that he was the first Russian president to attend the opening of a synagogue or any other Jewish event.

Starting in 1999, Putin enlisted two of his closest confidants, the oligarchs Lev Leviev and Roman Abramovich, who would go on to become Chabad's biggest patrons worldwide, to create the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia under the leadership of Chabad rabbi Berel Lazar, who would come to be known as "Putin's rabbi."

After Abbas rips US envoy as son of dog, PM says Palestinians losing their cool

"

Mahmoud Abbas's attack on US Ambassador David Friedman says it all," Netanyahu said in a statement. "For the first time in decades, the American administration has stopped pampering the Palestinian leaders and tells them, that's it. Apparently the shock of the truth has caused them lose their cool."

The articles also seem to be indicating the Saudi Prince is definitely in a major position of power over the middle east and in great favor at the WH.

U.S. President Donald Trump's first overseas visit was to Saudi Arabia. Trump' son-in-law and policy adviser Jared Kushner was reportedly the key factor that persuaded Trump to make Saudi Arabia his first destination for a foreign state trip as president. Trump made the decision despite both then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis opposing the move, according to multiple officials.

Trump praises Saudi crown prince over economic ties

"Your father made a very wise decision," Trump said.

While in Washington, the crown prince will hold separate meetings with a long roster of influential US officials, including the secretaries of defense, treasury and commerce, the CIA chief and congressional leaders from both parties. Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and White House envoy Jason Greenblatt, who are drafting Trump's long-awaited Mideast peace plan, will also join the crown prince for dinner Tuesday, the Saudi Embassy in Washington said.

and NEOM??

from the above article

The visit comes as the United States and much of the West are still trying to figure out Prince Mohammed, better known by his initials MBS, whose sweeping program of social changes at home and increased Saudi assertiveness abroad has upended decades of traditional rule in Saudi Arabia. The 32-year-old crown prince also has big economic plans, and over three weeks in the US he will meet businessmen in New York, tech mavens from Google and Apple Inc. in San Francisco, and entertainment bigwigs in Los Angeles. Other stops include Boston and Houston.

The US liquidates its two main Mid East air bases at Incirlik and Al-Udeid

Plans to speed up the transfer of the big US CENTCOM base in Qatar to Saudi Arabia were approved by President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Muhamed bin Salman when they met at the White House on Tuesday, March 20. This is an earthshaking event for the Middle East, which far transcends US-Saudi relations, say DEBKAfile's military sources.

The relocation of the two US bases stems additionally from the sharp reduction in fighting against ISIS in both Iraq and Syria. There is therefore less need for US air force operations in those parts. The US facilities and aircraft based in Incirlik are already being shifted to bases in East Europe, our military sources report. The Pentagon is also looking at Andravida in southern Greece as a replacement for Incirlik.

On this world tour the Prince has bought military equipment in massive amounts. Everywhere he went he bought something. Even places he didn't visit he bought something. Britain and the US to France and even Canada.

John Bolton: The conservative hawk tapped by Trump

During his break from politics, Bolton penned a memoir titled "Surrender Is Not An Option," worked with a number of neoconservative think tanks, and as a commentator for the Fox News network.

Bolton, who will leave his post as a senior fellow at the rightwing American Enterprise Institute, formally moves in to the job on April 9.

American Enterprise Institute

Although the institute is often cited as a right leaning

counterpart to the left leaning Brookings Institutionthe two entities have often collaborated. From 1998 to 2008, they co-sponsored the AEI-Brookings Joint Center for Regulatory Studies, and in 2006 they launched the AEI-Brookings Election Reform Project.

In 2015, a working group consisting of members from both institutions coauthored a report entitled

Opportunity, Responsibility, and Security: A Consensus Plan for Reducing Poverty and Restoring the American Dream

.

AEI is the most prominent think tank associated with American neoconservatims, in both the domestic and international policy arenas. Irving Kristol, widely considered a father of neoconservatism

There is one thing I'm sure Pres. Trump is grateful for... The young prince, MBS, isn't into hand holding and kissing. The new generation.
