Major changes have been going on in the Middle East since President Trump made his historic address to leaders and delegates of the region. Sundance at Conservative Treehouse has the details from various sources in the article, “Macron and Trump Agree on Coalition Plan To Counter Iran and Hezbollah – Saudi Grand Mufti Forbids Killing Jews…” I hope you will spend some free time this week (ha ha?) reading about major shifts in the ME:
US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday agreed on the need to partner with allies to respond to the destabilization activities of Hezbollah and Iran in the region.
The two leaders’ telephone conversation came in the aftermath of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s resignation, which he announced during a recent trip to Saudi Arabia.
“Both presidents agreed on the need to work with allies to counter Hizballah’s and Iran’s destabilizing activities in the region,” a statement from the White House said. …
… The Secretary-General of the Arab League has said that Iran seeks to be a “dangerous dagger” in the region, especially toward Saudi Arabia and Gulf countries.
Ahmed Aboul Gheit also confirmed a recent missile launched by Houthi militias targeting Saudi Arabia was Iranian-made.
[…] The Arab League is currently holding an extraordinary meeting at the request of Saudi Arabia to discuss “violations” committed by Iran in the region, according to a memorandum.
Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates supported the Saudi request, which was also approved by Djibouti, the current chair of the pan-Arab bloc. …
… just to prove how serious the shift is amid the outlook of the coalition members in the region, one of the most prolific hate-speech-advocates against Israel, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz Al Sheikh, has just announced that war against the Jews is forbidden and Hamas is a terrorist organization. (emphasis mine) …
… Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait and the Gulf Cooperation Council states are assembling a peace coalition with Israel and all Arab partners. Egyptian President al-Sisi has positioned the Palestinian Authority as a partner and Hamas, Hezbollah and the extremists within the Muslim Brotherhood have been cast out.
This news is extraordinary. It reflects the power in Trump’s no holds barred commitment to speaking plainly and holding all leaders to the responsibilities of their powerful leadership positions.
And our Clowngress should immediately restrict any and all $$ to Palestine since they use that $$ to financially reward the families of the suicide bombers.
Speaking of shifts, Mugabe is out in Zimbabwe.
Mrs. Tina, or Captain Jack, you think the Dems will run him in 2018 or maybe 2022 for Governor of Commiefornia? 🙂
I think Mugabe, a guy has committed no end of outrageous crimes using his government as his personal collection agency and goon squad, could probably be of some help to democrats aspiring to his high level corruption. However, democrats seem to be making excellent progress without his help. Of course they have borrowed the lessons learned from many of the worlds best communist dictators. Lenin, Stalin, Marx, Pol Pot, Mao, they would all be proud of our CA legislature.
