It was only a matter of time for him to cancel the Oslo Agreements. There has not been even one agreement which the Pals were serious about.

6. the muslims celebrate, trump + likud surrender are A + B
Oren Wysocki ,   Margate   (12.31.17)
Makes you understand why the american ambassador said stop talking about occupation, and we are making no territorial demands of Jerusalem. Meanwhile today the likud annexes area c and gives sovereignty to area A + B with zero coverage. Complete betrayal and injustice. May G-d defend His people who fight against evil and are defrauded at every turn.
7. FIRST RATE ANALYSIS BY DR FISHMAN
Rafi ,   US   (12.31.17)
Of course this is but the latest chapter in a never-ending story of chess & maneuvering...

Realistically as favorable as the most recent Abu-Dis peace proposal was to Israel, there is NO conceivable way that it could have been imposed on unwilling Palestinians by Trump, Saudia or even Egypt under current circumstances....

So whether the Jerusalem recognition effectively torpedoed "Abu-Did", it would have gone nowhere regardless.

10. look where DT is coming from - SALES, and then u know what
epo   (12.31.17)
he has, when he says its "the deal of the century"

bag of hot air with high price
11. that there will be no viable state with the US is clear for
epo   (12.31.17)
long already.

everyone involved knows that, and thats why IL is so adament about the US having the lead in this.

but its correct: with the "jerusalem announcement" they have disqualified for pretty much every important decision on this planet.

while everyone knew already, the broad international and often uninterested public did now get it as well.

the real trigger was, that he did it with big tamtam and social media.
12. Short term PR gain and all land remains in Israel long term

13. Lunatic Fishman& his ilk are deperately seeking "hope" for
(01.01.18)
their deranged "Piss-Process"- train to stay on tracks. What the refuse to notice is the fact that the "bridge" ahead have been blown up into smithereens long time ago!
Babble on Alex.....
14. Mr. Abbas is delusional.
Heather Czerniak ,   Haifa   (12.31.17)
There is no silver lining in Trump's policy regarding Jerusalem's status. Now if we can just convince Bibi that there's nothing in it for him either...
15. This in not an analysis, as event counting
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto -Kiriat Gat   (12.31.17)
Ms. Fishman in past comments on events, present in panic the situation during UN vote on Jerusalem and Arab Conference , as in past Palestinian found themselves in the pit of their lies and imbecile leader, as Arab World will not move a finger when is coming to economical sanction as they depend on American business support.
Trump clear the Arab fraud as pressure on all opposite parts to Israel will bend out as for Israel has to be resolute and firm on side of Jehuda and Shomron..
Will more spasm rhetoric attacks , as Israel is moving sure to regroup and unite for final solution.
16. Mr Fishman read and absorb
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto -Kiriat Gat   (12.31.17)
The catastrophic decisions made by the UN, OIC, EU and PLO over the past two weeks following Trump’s Jerusalem Declaration could seriously impact any “ultimate deal” Trump has been putting together to end the Jewish-Arab conflict.

The two-state solution – which envisages a second (democratic) Arab state – in addition to (undemocratic) Jordan – on the land comprised in the 1922 Mandate for Palestine - remains in limbo since the suspension of negotiations between Israel and the PLO in April 2014..


Trump can now justifiably jettison the two state solution – including Abbas and the PLO - from his ultimate deal – after Abbas defiantly declared on 22 December:

"The United States has proven to be a dishonest mediator in the peace process and we will no longer accept any plan from the United States,"
Abbas’s outburst has effectively consigned the two-state solution to the dustbin of history.

Abbas has once again demonstrated the unerring ability of the Palestinian Arabs to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory – as happened in 1922, 1937, 1947, between 1948 and 1967, 2000/20001 and 2008.

Trump’s ultimate deal must now be seriously struggling to see the light of day.
17. Reminder: Bickering over as excuse for spilled milk
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto -Kiriat Gat   (01.01.18)
This bickering stem from TACHMANUT or vice versa
18. Alex Fishman is in panic that he’s dream is falling apart
Bumi   (01.01.18)
19. I wish "Palestinians" many more such "gifts"
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.02.18)
Donald Trump's wonderful "gift to Palestinians" all but destroyed their evil dream of dividing Jerusalem. I wish "Palestinians" many more such "gifts".

For example, Israel should give "Palestinians" the gift of self reliance, by immediately ending all work permits, electricity, money, materials etc. flowing to them.

Israel should also give Abbas the "gift" of putting him on trial for the Munich Massacre and many other murders he undoubtedly committed.

Best of all; give "Palestinians" the "gift" of reasonable compensation to leave our land forever.
