1)Gulf States Offer Peace Plan for Gaza: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has endorsed an Egyptian plan for peace in Gaza that offers $53 billion reconstruction funding and provides for transfer of authority in Gaza to the Palestinian Authority (PA), as first step in forming an independent State of Palestine. But Trump and Netanyahu reject it, instead supporting the "Trump Plan" for removal of all Palestinians from Gaza, so it can be 'redeveloped' as a luxury resort. Why are they doing this?2)Russia Accuses European Nations of Escalation towards World War: The EU nations in past week have held several summits resulting in a 'ReArm Europe Plan' of $150 billion, to expand European defense industry and prepare defense against future Russia aggression. But Putin is accusing the Europeans of 'aggressive behavior' likely leading to world war. Is he bluffing?3)Trump Proposes Withdrawing 35,000 US Troops from Germany--- and Moving Them to Hungary?: Likely in retaliation to Germany's incoming Chancellor Friedrich Merz's comment that Germany no long had a trustworthy ally in the USA, Trump is now considering withdrawing 35,000 troops from Germany and moving them into Hungary. What do you think of this idea?4)Ukraine Delegation Met US Delegation Tuesday in Saudi Arabia To Discuss Peace Talks with Russia: After US-Russia talks held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last week, the Ukrainians and US are holding similar talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to align positions for a possible cease fire. What is happening in these talks?5)Elon Musk Calls US Sen. Mark Kelly a Traitor?: Kelly is a retired Navy combat pilot and astronaut who just visited for the third time Ukraine and met w/ Ukraine military pilots. He posted on 'X' that US must continue supporting Ukraine's fight against Russian aggression. Musk responded Kelly was a 'traitor' for saying this. Why did he say this?

Days after the guns fell silent in Gaza, violence erupted less than 200km away in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.   Israel's military deployed tanks, snipers and special forces in the city on Tuesday, where it began an operation named “Iron Wall”, cracking down on what it described as terrorists within the Iranian axis. But videos have surfaced showing unarmed Palestinians being shot by Israeli forces. Twelve people have been killed in the raid so far and scores more injured.   At the same time, Israel has tightened security across the rest of the West Bank, drastically increasing the number of checkpoints and conducting mass arrests. This comes after 90 Palestinian detainees were released from Israeli prisons in exchange for three Israeli hostages being freed by Hamas in Gaza, as part of the first phase of the ceasefire that took effect there on Sunday.   Jenin had already been the site of another security offensive by the Palestinian Authority (PA) since December last year to root out what it called outlaws, drawing many questions about the back-to-back timing of these operations. The UN has said that Jenin's sprawling refugee camp has become almost uninhabitable; Jordan's foreign minister warned on the sidelines of Davos that Israel's incursion could lead the West Bank to “explode”.   In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher talks with Ahmed Fattouh, spokesperson for Fatah, the leading party within the PA, and with Palestinian political analyst Khalil Sayegh. They discuss whether the West Bank could be another flashpoint for long-term violence and what this escalation could mean for Gaza's fragile truce.

On a tense Saturday night in Jenin in the occupied West Bank, Shatha Al Sabbagh went over to the grocery store with her mother, neighbour and nephews. On her way out, she was shot in the neck and killed. She was a young journalist, only 21 years old. Her family has blamed her death on the Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces. But the PA rejects the accusation, saying instead that she was killed by militants in the area. About a dozen people have died so far amid clashes in the Jenin refugee camp since PA security forces began a raid there last month that they say clamps down on outlaws with outstanding arrest warrants for murder, theft and other crimes. But on the inside, another version of events comes to light. The PA's crackdown has stirred anger among some of the residents who say authorities are trying to crush their so-called “Palestinian resistance”. The PA has dismissed this, telling The National that they are only targeting Iran-linked militants hiding under the umbrella of legitimate resistance. Critics of the PA have been frustrated over its inaction as the war rages on in Gaza and Israeli military and settler violence rises across the West Bank. So why is the PA cracking down on Palestinians in their darkest hour? On Beyond the Headlines this week, host Nada AlTaher looks back at how and why the raid on Jenin began a month ago. She speaks to Palestinian political analyst Khalil Sayegh and senior Palestine analyst at Crisis Group Tahani Mustafa, about who the PA is targeting and why now. They discuss how the events in Jenin will affect the PA's role in the West Bank and its survival in a future Palestinian state.

But, no, the Biden Admin believes this terror group is better than all the other terror groups and should be king of them all. The problem is that many Israelis and Israeli politicians think otherwise! So, the Biden team has thrown out a new plan!

The Palestinian Authority (PA) has a new government and a new Prime Minister.An exciting and yet highly challenging time for them; but for the Palestinian people, optimism for real change is low. The Palestinian Authority has been in place since the 1990's, but satisfaction is low. There are systemic governance problems across Palestine, and the PA is no longer seen as the leaders of the liberation movement. This week on The New Arab Voice, we look at the Palestinian Authority and the problems with governance in the wake of the brutal war on Gaza. What is the Palestinian Authority doing to end the violence and promote Palestinian liberty? How do Palestinians feel about the ruling authority? And is it time for reforms, and for President Abbas to step aside, or for the institution as a whole to be dissolved?Joining us, we speak with Omar Rahman (@omarrahman), fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs (@ME_Council), where he focuses on Palestine, Middle East geopolitics, and American foreign policy in the region.Also, we speak with Obada Shtaya, the co-Founder and CEO of the Institute for Social and Economic Progress. Obada is a pollster and researcher, with interests in social psychology, political economy, and social movement theory.Subscribe to The New Arab Weekly here.

On September 13th, 1993, a ray of light shined. Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Negotiator Mahmoud Abbas signed a Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements, commonly called the “Oslo Accord,” at the White House. Israel accepted the PLO as the representative of the Palestinians, and the PLO renounced terrorism and recognized Israel's right to exist in peace. Both sides agreed that a Palestinian Authority (PA) would be established and assume governing responsibilities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip over a five-year period. Then, permanent status talks on the issues of borders, refugees, and Jerusalem would be held. While President Bill Clinton's administration played a limited role in bringing the Oslo Accord into being, it would invest vast amounts of time and resources to help Israel and the Palestinians implement the agreement. However, by the time Clinton left office, the peace process had run aground, and a new round of Israeli-Palestinian violence had begun. Along with Gidi Grinstein, Co-Author of (In)Sight: Peacemaking in the Oslo Process Thirty Years and Counting, I discussed the importance of the Oslo Accords and their ongoing impact on today's relationship with Israel's neighbors and the impact on American Jewry.

Ambassador (ret.) Ilan Baruch is chairperson of the Policy Working Group (PWG), an Israeli advocacy team focusing on policy issues pertaining to the achievement of peace between Israel and Palestine based on the two-state paradigm. PWG members are all volunteers and come from senior diplomatic, academic, political, media and human rights backgrounds. On March 1st 2011, Baruch resigned from the Israeli Foreign Ministry on grounds of principle after a 36-year diplomatic career. In multiple media interviews, Baruch explained that his resignation came in the wake of Israel's departure from its decade-long commitment to the two- state solution. Baruch's last posting overseas was Ambassador of Israel in South Africa (2005-2008) as well as in Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Ashraf Al-Ajrami is the Director of Damour Company for Community Development; head of the Damour Advocacy team, seeking to increase the resilience of deprived Palestinian communities and build a just peace. Born 1961. He is the former Minister of Prisoners Affairs in the Palestinian Authority (PA), 2007-09, and former Director of Israeli Affairs, PA Information Ministry. Imprisoned in Israel, 1984-96.

In some respects, the Middle East is changing so quickly for the better, it can be difficult to keep track. Israel's relationships with a growing number of Muslim-majority countries, for example, is a relatively recent trend, but one where more promise exists. But in other ways, things in the Middle East seem to be staying the same, or getting worse. Incitement from the Palestinian Authority (PA) and attempts to erase Jewish history from the region continue unabated. Criticism from the United States and European Union, focusing on Israel's security decisions, has become only more pointed recently. Despite Israel's economic success, why have some Western powers become increasingly emboldened to repeatedly attack Israel's security decisions, while saying precious little about the Palestinian Authority? Our guest on this week's podcast is David Weinberg. David is a columnist with the Jerusalem Post who has held a series of public positions, including senior advisor to deputy prime minister Natan Sharansky and coordinator of the Global Forum Against Anti-Semitism in the Prime Minister's Office; spokesman of Bar-Ilan University, and many other roles, who will help shine light on what is spurring on this trend of Western criticism, and how the new Israeli government may respond.

The ongoing issue of Palestinian incitement against Israel and Jews, in general, has long been an obstacle to peace between Israel and the Palestinians. In territories under the Palestinian Authority (PA), to say nothing of Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip, Israel is frequently and widely demonized and delegitimized as a Jewish state, and general and overt antisemitism is used as a means to attack Israel. This messaging, often coming from official Palestinian Authority outlets, is significantly at odds with the public persona put forward by PA President Mahmoud Abbas to global audiences, which is pro-peace. And if you've ever seen an Arabic-language video of a Palestinian representative being candid and less than diplomatic in speaking about Israel or Jews, there's a good chance it was from MEMRI. MEMRI, or the Middle East Media Research Institute, is a nonprofit press monitoring and analysis organization that provides translation of media outlets from a number of languages, including Arabic. MEMRI's deputy director, Elliot Zweig, is our guest on this week's podcast. Welcome to The Honest Report podcast. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thehonestreport/message

SYNOPSIS:Several #humanrights  organisations including #amnestyinternational  which released the report- ‘Israel's Apartheid Against Palestinians: a Cruel System of Domination and a Crime Against Humanity' have concluded that Israel's governance of occupied #palestinian  territory amounts to the crime of #apartheid  under international law. #israel  has been accused of considering the #palestinians  as a demographic threat and imposing measures to control and decrease their presence and access to land in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Critics say that these demographic aims are well illustrated by official plans to “Judaize” areas of Israel and the #westbank , including East #jerusalem  , which continue to put thousands of Palestinians at risk of forcible transfer.Israel has also been accused of running a campaign of ‘Oppression without borders' and treating the Palestinians as ‘lesser citizens' through codified laws and statutes.However, Israel and her partner allies have vehemently refuted these accusations. Pro-Israel voices defend saying that Israel is a multi-racial and multi-coloured society and the #arabminority actively participates in the political process. Incitement to racism in Israel is a criminal offence, as is discrimination on the basis of race or religion.Pro-Israel voices also point to the fact that there isn't a single Jewish community living anywhere under Palestinian control. This isn't because of #jewish  preferences. Jewish communities exist across the world; they would certainly exist 10 minutes from Jerusalem if it weren't for the Palestinian Authority's policies of excluding Jews and inciting violence and prejudice against them. Palestinian law makes selling land to Jews a crime punishable by death, often without trial. Nor does the authority recognize any Jewish titles to private property. In Israel, by contrast,  assert its supporters, Arabs enjoy full property rights, enforced by the courts.SPEAKERS:1.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) skillfully and successfully plays the victim internationally while contrarily insisting to its own subject population that victory over Israel is underway and inevitable. How does it manage to sustain these two opposite messages and what can Israelis do to puncture this unwieldy but successful oxymoron?

The Palestinian Authority (PA) unabashedly promotes violence against Israel, as Palestinian Media Watch has extensively documented. Children are ingrained with hatred, its television channel calls for Israel's destruction and promotes “martyrdom.” But Israel and its allies have not taken the logical step to designate the PA as terrorist; why not? What must happen for this to occur?

As the old adage goes, where there's Jews, there's news. Israel is frequently a target of misinformation and propaganda, including accusations of Apartheid and ethnic cleansing. Not only are these allegations false, they purposely ignore the rampant human rights violations committed by the Palestinian Authority (PA). Why does the news media largely ignore these human rights violations, and what can be done to educate the world about the realities of the Palestinian Authority's abuse of its own people? In this edition of The Honest Report, we are joined by Bassem Eid, a noted Palestinian human rights advocate, who shares his frustrations at the news media's tunnel vision when it comes to human rights.

It's a common trope in the western news media: Hamas is the extremist arm of the Palestinian leadership, while the Palestinian Authority (PA) is the preferred, moderate peace partner. But that simplification ignores a deep-seated problem with the PA: despite their promises, it continues to foster hatred against not just Israel, but Jews in general. In this episode of The Honest Report podcast, we sit down with Itamar Marcus, founder and director of Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), which studies Palestinian society by monitoring and analyzing the (PA) through its media and schoolbooks.

On Episode 5, I spoke with Dr. Michael Oren.  Michael served as Israel's ambassador to the U.S. from 2009 to 2013. He is the author of many books,  including NYT's best-sellers Power, Faith and Fantasy and Six Days of War: June 1967 and the Making of the Modern Middle East. He recently released his first 2 novels, To All Who Call in Truth, and The Night Archer and Other Stories. I was honored that Michael agreed to blurb my book, A Line in the Sand, which can be found on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The Jerusalem Post listed Oren as one of the ten most influential Jews in the world. Most relevant to this podcast, Michael was a lone soldier long before that was trendy. We spoke about the conditions in Israel in 1979 when Michael made Aliyah, as well as the Army. Back then there were also no rules and restrictions about training - his red beret march was twice as long as mine (135 KM!). We also spoke about some of the punishments that Michael endured that today would land the administrating commander in Jail.  We touched on Michaels experiences in Lebanon, his time in the Soviet Underground, and his participation in the disengagement from Gaza in 2006. As someone who has myself struggled with learning disabilities and ADHD, I was interested to  hear about how Michael's own learning disabilities shaped his trajectory. He showed me the award he was given for the learning disabled person who has achieved most in life, which he received alongside Joe Biden. Despite the belief many hold that Oren's path was a linear journey from success to success, he experienced many hardships. For a while, he wondered if he would have money to feed his family, and was urged by many to stop writing and pursue a different career path. We touched on the history of Jews in Judea and Samaria, and the peace process. Michael spoke about Israel's attempted concessions in the wake of the 6-day war, and the Khartoum conference in which the Arab world famously responded with the 3 no's: no peace, no recognition, and no negotiation with Israel.  During his time as a member of the Israeli Government, Michael proposed many development projects in Judea and Samaria that were shot down because the Palestinian Authority (PA) did not  want to "normalize the occupation," even if it came at the expense of their own people. As an example, Israel offered the PA free COVID vaccines which they refused to accept.  We spoke about what it  means to actually be pro-Palestinian, the barrier to peace posed by UNRWA, and the danger to Israel of accepting U.S. aid. In 2016, Michael was the only member of the Israeli government who voted against the continuation of U.S. aid, and he explains why.Michael believes the Biden administration is very pro-Israel, but noted that as Democrats their platform necessarily supports a two-state solution and a deal with Iran. He believes that an ideal outcome is one in which the U.S. and like-minded Nations come together to do whatever is necessary to prevent Iran from becoming a Nuclear power. We touched on the significance of the inclusion of the Arab party in the present ruling coalition, and the implications for the ultra-Orthodox who until then had been the swing voters, and will now perhaps have to lean towards greater compromise. Finally, we discussed the miracle of Jews from 70 countries who don't share a language or a culture who have come together in country with no natural resources, surrounded by enemies,  to forge a common destiny.  Israel has exceeded Michael's wildest dreams. 

As Palestinians continue to protests against the killing of Nizar Banat, they have highlighted the discontent with the Palestinian Authority (PA), the body ruling small parts of the occupied West Bank that is under the overall control of the Israeli army. Hosts Omar Baddar and Diana Buttu discuss the PA and how they function in coordination with the Israeli occupation.

Human rights attorney Diana Buttu discusses the death of Nizar Banat, a prominent critic of the Palestinian Authority (PA), while in the custody of PA security forces last week.

Last week, prominent critic of the Palestinian Authority (PA), Nizar Banat, was arrested at his home in Hebron by Palestinian security services. Hours later, he was dead. What looks like a shocking incident tragically is part of a larger trend by the Palestinian Authority to exercise repression against its own people, whether by silencing dissent, cancelling elections, or by inciting hate against Israel. But despite this shocking authoritarianism, the news media may sometime describe the PA as the moderate arm of the Palestinian leadership. Welcome to the Honest Report podcast.

This week, we are discussing the propaganda in Palestinian children's textbooks and how that has a huge impact on continued strife and unrest in Israel. Laurie welcomes this week's guest, Itamar Marcus, who is a researcher and the founder and director of Palestinian Media Watch, which studies Palestinian society by monitoring and analyzing the Palestinian Authority (PA) through its media and schoolbooks.His work on textbooks led Benyamin Netanyahu to appoint Marcus to represent his country in the negotiations with the Palestinians on incitement in the Trilateral Anti-Incitement Committee (Israeli–Palestinian–American) in his capacity as Director of Research for the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace (CMP), where he served from 1998 to 2000.As Director of Research for CMP, Marcus wrote reports on PA, Syrian and Jordanian schoolbooks. CMP reportedly broke its link with Marcus stemming from criticisms stemming from disparities in CMP's analysis of Israeli and Palestinian textbooks. "Incendiary quotations are explained, analyzed, and contextualized in the report on Israeli books; they are listed with only brief and sensationalist explanations in the reports on Palestinian books. In short, the center is fair, balanced and understanding toward Israeli textbooks but tendentious on Palestinian books." In February 2007, together with then Senator Hillary Clinton he released a report on the newest PA schoolbooks at a press conference in Washington.Marcus testified before the Education Subcommittee of the US Senate Committee on Allocations, documenting the Palestinian Authority's indoctrination of children to seek death as Shahids – Martyrs – for public relations purposes. He has also presented before members of Congress, and to members of Parliament in numerous countries including, the European Union, United Kingdom, France, Canada, and Australia, and has lectured in universities and conferences worldwide.Marcus is a featured source for the documentary Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West.Marcus is a former vice president of the Central Fund of Israel, which won the Jerusalem Prize for Volunteerism. Originally from New York City, he now lives in the Israeli settlement of Efrat in the West Bank.

Can we ever have peace when children are being trained to become "ammunition" as martyrs whose sole purpose is to kill Jews? In 1996, Itamar Marcus founded the watchdog group, Palentinian Media Watch, whose purpose is to bring peace to the world by untangling lies told in the media.  Itamar is one of the world's foremost experts on the Palestinian Authority (PA) and travels the world speaking to members of Congress, parliaments, and governments presenting PMW's findings that have literally changed the way the world sees the PA.He and his brilliant group of millennials are hard at work interpreting Palestinian media for the governments of Israel and the western world. PMW's reports on the Palestinian Authority's promotion and glorification of terror -- which include paying salaries to terrorists; naming schools, sporting events, and public spaces after terrorists; promoting terror in children's TV programs and schoolbooks, and so much more -- have fundamentally changed the way the world sees the Palestinian Authority.In this episode, hear about the important work being done by PMW, the serious issue of child abuse through techniques used to indoctrinate them intro hatred of Jewish people and Israel, and the simple thing YOU can do to help bring clarity to inaccuracies reported by the media.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) continues to run a “pay for slay” program, where terrorism against Israelis is incentivized and funded by the governing faction of the Fatah. This episode discusses the importance of the Taylor Force Act, passed by Congress in 2018, in thwarting the use of U.S. aid until the PA ceases its support for terror. Stuart Force, the father of U.S. Army Capt. Taylor Force, as well as JINSA Distinguished Fellow Sander Gerber, join Erielle to unpack the particulars of the legislation and how the Biden Administration can continue to push for meaningful reforms within the PA.Follow us on Twitter @jinsadc.

The Biden administration has recently announced the reinstitution of US aid to the Palestinian Authority even though the United States has a law on the books called the Taylor Force act. The Taylor Force act stops American economic aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) until the PA ceases paying stipends through the Palestinian Authority Martyr's Fund to individuals who commit acts of terrorism and to the families of deceased terrorists. Hear what Congressman Doug Lamborn had to say about the importance of this US law as well as from Stuart Force, Taylor's father.

On President Trump's Peace Plan: You will be shocked to learn reasons why the Palestinians have already rejected the plan. Despite the very real economic benefits it would bring the Arabs under the Palestinian Authority (PA) a.k.a. the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) they continue to recruit and pay terrorists monthly salaries. Learn more. However, the President's plan is already working to strengthen Israel's national security and that of the United States. How?! Hear RABBI URI PILICHOWSKI, scholar and educator, succinctly, but briefly explain the importance of Trump's Peace Plan. What does it mean to both Israelis and the Muslim Arabs (Palestinians) and the parameters under which negotiations must take place. Hear what is at stake for all of us!

What demobilizes a once mobilized society? How does international involvement amplify or suppress these dynamics? In Polarized and Demobilized: Legacies of Authoritarianism in Palestine (Oxford University Press, 2020), Dana El Kurd's new book uses a case study to interrogate how the Palestinian Authority – as an indigenous institution – more successfully demobilized Palestinian society than Israeli occupiers. Despite Israel's greater resources and international backing, the Palestinian Authority, paradoxically, was able to accomplish what the Israelis could not: the polarization and demobilization of the Palestinian population. The Palestinian Authority (PA) -- insulated from domestic constituents and consumed with addressing international pressures rather than negotiating with Palestinian society – strengthened authoritarian practices. The use of authoritarianism polarized the public over both international involvement and the practice of authoritarianism. El Kurd's rich case study illustrates how certain authoritarian strategies used by the PA increased societal polarizing – and that polarization negatively affected mobilization and the capacity for collective action. El Kurd uses a mix of survey data, interviews, and field research to demonstrate how international involvement results in insulation that may increase authoritarianism. She not only provides a nuanced look at the Palestinian Authority but applies her findings to Iraqi Kurdistan and Bahrain in one of the concluding chapters. The podcast concludes with incisive comments about how the Trump administration's disengagement may ironically open opportunities for rebuilding the capacity for Palestinian collective action.

Why are the values enmeshed in the vision of a "Free Palestine" so absent in the actual governance of the Palestinian Territories? Democracy, transparency, freedom, equality are all totally absent from the ways Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (PA) respectively rule over Gaza and the West Bank. Al Bawaba spoke with Nadia Hijab, co-founder of Al-Shabaka to understand why this schism exists. Hijab emphasizes the role Palestine's civil society organizations can have in resistance, but for precisely how they mobilize and towards what end, there is no easy answer. They appear to be choked from outside and from within, with a military occupation treating them as potential terrorists on one end, and a rapacious, restrictive provisional authority who sees them as a saboteurs to a fragile sense of order on the other.
