PALESTINIANS
If You Do Not Give Us Everything, We Cannot Trust You
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/1...ump-peace-plan
The Palestinians have made up their mind: The Trump peace plan is bad for us and we will not accept
it. The plan is bad because it does not force Israel to give the Palestinians everything.
If and when the Trump administration makes public its peace plan, the Palestinians will be the first to
reject it, simply because it does not meet all their demands.
Trump will soon learn that for Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinians, 99% is just not enough.

THE NEXT BIG MIDDLE EASTERN WAR

The Syrian Civil War killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. Its ripple effects brought
terror to Europe and dragged the United States into the fighting. And it is just the appetizer for the
coming war.
The real war is the one that the Saudis and the Iranians have been maneuvering toward for years.
Those maneuvers included everything from Iran nuke deal, the fighting in Yemen, the Syrian Civil
War, the Iraqi suppression of Kurdish independence, the rise of ISIS, and the Qatari embargo.

Iranian drones have made dozens of undetected flights over Israel
http://www.israelhayom.com/2017/07/2...s-over-israel/
A senior Iranian military official claimed Tuesday that Iranian made surveillance drones have conducted
dozens of undetected forays into Israeli airspace from Lebanon in recent years to probe air defenses and
gather intelligence.
The Iranian official declined to give further details on the objectives or the capabilities of the drones,
including whether they were similar to the drone launched last week by Hezbollah and downed by
Israeli jets. It also was impossible to independently verify the claims from the official, who spoke on
condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel failure to form a coalition government has raised concerns in Europe
that the EUs most powerful country will send the block into paralysis.
It is not in our interest that things get tense, French president Emmanuel Macron said on Monday, adding
that the situation was creating real risks.
Dutch foreign minister Halbe Zijlstra said the delay in forming a new German government was bad news
for Europe.

India moves to cancel $500m missile deal with Israeli company
http://www.jpost.com/printarticle.aspx?id=514708
The Indian Ministry of Defense has reportedly moved to cancel a missile deal with Israel worth half a
billion dollars, in what could be a major blow to otherwise flourishing Israeli Indian ties.
The contract with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, first discussed in 2014, allowed for India to
purchase Spike anti tank guided missiles. Instead, the Indian government has asked the countrys
Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) to nix the deal and develop its own
homegrown anti tank missile, in an attempt to build up its own defense industry.
