Not synonymous

Below are a number of questions posed at the State Department briefing of Monday, January 13.


QUESTION: Abbas made a statement this past weekend saying that they will never accept what is requested of them on the Jewish aspect of the state of Israel; and second, they will never forfeit Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine; and third, that the right of return is a personal issue for the Palestinians, and not a collective issue. Do you have any comment on that?

MS. HARF: I think I’ll let his words speak for themselves. Again, we’re discussing – all issues are on the table. We’re discussing them privately. I think the Secretary’s been clear that we’re at a critical point right now, that the Palestinians and the Israeli leaders are grappling with difficult and challenging decisions, and very sensitive ones. But the details of those discussions we are keeping private to give them the best chance to succeed.




QUESTION: And do you have any comment about Assad’s comments about how Kerry’s talks in Paris are fictional?

QUESTION: He didn’t say fictional. He said illusionary or --


QUESTION: Anyway, his point was that they were far from reality.

Given that the State Department  opined that "the remarks of the Defense Minister (Moshe Ya'alon), if accurate, are offensive and inappropriate," is the State Department going to issue a comment about Assad's remarks?

  1. Truth is, that the world is clamoring for Yerushalayim because there is something hidden in the psyche of all and know how holy Yerushalayim is and that it is H's City on earth which HE gave to His beloved children, Yisrael; and that surely bothers them. Between Edom (Eisav), Yishmael and with the help of the Erev Rav, they are surely dividing up holy Jerusalem in secrecy but we know the end of the story. They won't like it. Netzach Yisrael lo y'shaker! Moshiach now!
