The top US administration officials gathered Monday, one after the other, at a conference of "Christians for Israel" at the Congress Center in Washington, DC, close to the White House and the US Congress, praising and cheering Israel And to consider its "absolute and complete security" as defined, the basic compass in the search for any peace between the Palestinians and Israel.
US Vice President Mike Pines, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Donald Trump National Security Advisor Richard Bolton, Trump´s Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and Trump´s envoy for international negotiations, Jason Greenblatt, spoke at a conference called "Christians for Israel" "A right-wing missionary organization that supports Israeli occupation and settlement and considers that Israel´s right to" Judea and Samaria "is a biblical right that can not be debated and is a prerequisite for the return of Christ.
The five spokesmen criticized the direct and indirect criticism of the Palestinians, the authority, organizations, movements and activities, and described them as obstacles to achieving peace to varying degrees. They also threatened and threatened Iran, Hamas and Lebanese Hezbollah, who accused them of terrorism, tampering and forming a perilous danger in the region.
The five speakers stressed that President Trump is Israel´s biggest ally in history, the president who has kept his promise to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, transferred the US embassy to it and recognized the Israeli lady on the occupied Syrian Golan.
They also considered that "anti-Semitism is anti-Semitic," as is the case with any effort, such as the boycott of Israel (PDS) as an "anti-Semitic" movement.
Jason Greenblatt responded by criticizing his participation in the opening ceremony of the so-called "Hajj Road" tunnel, dug under the houses of the occupied town of Silwan or the so-called "City of David Tunnels."
"I and Ambassador David Friedman strongly criticized us for attending this event," he said in his interview at the United Christian Conference for Israel (CUFI). "I condemn the position of Saeb Erekat, the chief negotiator of the Palestinian Authority, As he often does, that this tunnel was legendary; it was fake. "
"We have been accused of Judaizing the city, we will not tolerate this kind of language, I know it was tolerated before, but under President Trump, we will respond every time, and whoever considers this tunnel not true, we will correct them. "He said. Greenblatt also called on the evangelical Christians to "stand up to this bum, that nonsense," and said the attacks were not stalled. "We will resist, we no longer have to tolerate their myths and falsify history."
"We may reach a glass ceiling for a while if we do not succeed in the current peace efforts, because I think (if not now) that there will be a certain point in time," Greenblatt said of the long-awaited US peace plan. The countries in the region want to take a break, and then we´ll see what happens, and then maybe in another year or five years, we´ll see some progress. "
"The region does not want to leave the Palestinians behind, but I think the region is tired of the Palestinian leadership that is preventing progress in the region."
National Security Adviser John Bolton also spoke at a conference on US policy toward the International Criminal Court, which he accused of anti-US and anti-Israeli rhetoric.
"At the request of the alleged State of Palestine, the International Criminal Court has threatened to investigate Israeli housing projects as well as to target Israel´s counterterrorism efforts in the West Bank - and we will not allow the ICC bureaucrats in The Hague to dictate our foreign policy," he said. "America will stand with its most trusted allies."
"In addition to withdrawing all support for the ICC last month, we also announced a policy of restricting US visas to anyone responsible for the ICC investigation with American or Israeli staff," he said.
He pledged that the United States would not allow the PLO office in Washington to reopen its office, "until the Palestinians begin direct and objective negotiations with the Israelis."
"We will not re-finance the Palestinian Authority until it ceases its practice of paying salaries to terrorists and their families to kill innocent Israeli-American men, women and children."
