  • PA finance minister sends letter of appreciation to Israeli counterpart Kahlon

    According to Palestinian media, in his letter to Kahlon, Bishara thanked his Israeli counterpart for the transfer of money and stated that "owing to your leadership and understanding, we have reached a positive turning point and set the stage for a new beginning in the commercial relationship between Israel and ourselves."

    Bishara's letter to Kahlon, which was spread on Palestinian social media networks, aroused outraged reactions among Palestinian activists. First, Bishara noted the location of Israel’s Finance Ministry as: "Jerusalem, the State of Israel," thus indirectly recognizing Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem in contrast to the official policy of the Palestinian Authority.

    In addition, Bishara also wrote to Kahlon: "extend my thanks to General Yoav Mordechai for his participation and constructive role during our meeting." Mordechai, Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, is a notorious character among Palestinians, who regard him as the "acting president of the Palestinian Authority."

      Netanyahu blasts Ariel Sharon at memorial marking former PM's death

      Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked former prime minister Ariel Sharon's 2005 withdrawal from the Gaza Strip at a memorial ceremony marking two years since Sharon's death Monday evening at the Knesset.

      Netanyahu, who quit Sharon's government to protest the withdrawal, said leaving the Gaza Strip did not achieve Sharon's goals of bringing about security and peace.

      "In Gaza, we received a base for Hamas terror adjacent to our territory," Netanyahu said. "Unfortunately, transferring control over and responsibility for Gaza to the Palestinians not only did not set us on the path to peace, it enhanced the arming of terror organizations. Our obligation is to at least learn the necessary lessons from this episode."

        Israel braces for a diplomatic squeeze
        The idea would be to provide a broad international umbrella that might succeed where lone American aegis had failed.
