Early in January, Trump blamed the Palestinians and threatened to cut U.S. funding. The seed of government is in Jerusalem.

Zomlot suggested the winds were in the Palestinians’ favor, alluding to an erosion of support for Israel among younger and liberal Americans.

Schools, clinics and food distribution centres were closed in Gaza on Monday due to a one-day strike by the 13,000 people employed in the territory by the UN agency that serves Palestinian refugees.

It is worth recalling that no one ever officially appointed the Americans to this role.

According to the statement, a total of 350 children are still languishing in Israeli prisons. He called for suspending recognition of Israel.

“This is simply unacceptable as a rationale for denying civilians humanitarian assistance and a dangerous and striking departure from U.S. policy on international humanitarian assistance”, they said. Some Israeli defense companies have also set up R&D centres in India.

Why, you ask? Because the girl slapped a soldier invading her home and the mother documented the daughter’s actions.

Last year, Congress approved 3 million in aid to the Palestinians.

Netanyahu called on the Palestinians to “stop kvetching, you know. See what the United States’ offer is and get in a room and negotiate”. The objections and wheezes of discomfort, the downcast eyes ignoring tears at the knees, turn into the whimsical admission of joining the in-crowd before they finally explode out as proud agitated chuckles leading the fashion parade.

BESA Center Perspectives Papers, such as this one, are published through the generosity of the Greg Rosshandler Family.

The US has been the largest single donor to UNRWA, providing almost $370 million of the agency’s $1.2 billion budget in 2016.

Both Modi and Netanyahu are first and foremost shrewd politicians. Jerusalem is the capital of the jewish people since the time of King David. An Israeli man was killed in a Palestinian shooting attack earlier this month. The eight-hour tour offered a brief dose of ground truth about problems that have gone unresolved since Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 war. But so did their male colleagues, standing in front of them – with tall microphone booms and camera tripods. But paradoxically that is only because America is 100 per cent on Israel’s side.

The PA, following U.S. president Donald Trump declaration of Jerusalem the capital of Israel, announced halt of the Israeli-Palestinian talks, saying that the U.S.is no longer qualified to lead the “peace process”.

Trade has also emerged as an important front in bilateral relations and India provides a huge market.

“Palestinians are not very thrilled by this new formula”, Ghaith al-Omari of the Washington Institute of Near East Policy observed. Much of Israeli media has welcomed the visit. But in any case, these changes will take time to filter up to the political level.
