Israel's Prime Minister--Benjamin Netanyahu--has used his address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)--to savage the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) policy that rewards Palestinian murderers of Israelis and other innocent civilians with lifetime payments.
Kensington Palace's carefully-crafted tweet announcing that "The Duke of Cambridge will visit Israel, Jordan and the Occupied Palestinian Territories in the Summer" - could spark a diplomatic war with far-reaching implications.
PLO Chairman Mahmoud Abbas signed his own suicide note after another blistering attack on America in the United Nations Security Council on 20 February.
Abbas told the Security Council:
US Secretary of State--Rex Tillerson--was in Jordan this week delivering some very good news for Jordan - but not for the PLO and UNRWA.
Tillerson announced America's commitment to fund Jordan to the tune of $1.275 billion per annum for the next five years - an increase of $275 million per annum over the previous annual commitment of $1 billion per annum during 2015-2017.
United Nations Secretary-General--Antonio Guterres--displayed how little he knows of the history, geography and demography of Palestine when addressing the opening of the 2018 Session of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People ("CEIRPP").
President Trump's State of the Union address was mainly met in stony silence by the Democrats as their Republican rivals continually jumped to their feet to loudly applaud the President's many achievements at home and overseas during the past twelve months.
President Trump and America's UN Ambassador Nikki Haley - virtually within hours of each other - have laid the groundwork for Jordan to replace the PLO as Israel's negotiating partner under President Bush's 2003 Roadmap--endorsed by the United Nations, European Union, and Russia - and Bush's 2004 Congress-endorsed commitments to Israel.

The Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) threat to refuse to negotiate with Israel unless President Trump withdraws his recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel could see Jordan replacing the PLO as Israel's negotiating partner to end the 100 years-old Arab-Jewish conflict.
President Trump appears determined to defund the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) should the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) refuse to resume negotiations with Israel.
The United Nations General Assembly resolution on 21 December 2017 asking nations not to establish diplomatic missions in Jerusalem ("Resolution") was adopted by 128 of the 193 member States acting in breach of three specific articles in the UN Charter.
29th November 2017 marks the 70th anniversary of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 (II) (Resolution) calling for the creation in Western Palestine of independent Arab and Jewish States and a Special International Regime for the City of Jerusalem (Partition Plan).
President Trump has appeared to dampen expectations that his “ultimate deal” to resolve the Arab-Jewish conflict will shortly emerge.
The only clue given so far is this statement from the White House:
Australia’s national news broadcaster (“ABC”) has belatedly admitted that “human error” wiped Israel off this map.
Britain's Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has acknowledged that Jordan and Israel represent the only viable "two state solution" that can end the Arab-Jewish conflict.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph on 29 October--ahead of the centenary of the Balfour Declaration on 2 November--the Foreign Secretary stated:
The centenary of the Balfour Declaration issued on 2 November 1917 is being used to unleash a barrage of falsehoods designed to denigrate the Jewish people and delegitimise the Jewish State of Israel.
Among those current egregious falsehoods:
