Abbas brings peace and an intifada to the UN?

Today, February 11, 2020, Palestinian Authority (PA) leader Mahmmoud Abbas plans to appear at the UN to present his own "peace" plan (here). But he also plans to unleash at the UN a diplomatic war (an intifada) against the Trump Plan--and Israel-- on the same day he talks of his "peace" plan! (ibid).

What does this man want, war or peace? If he wants peace with his enemy, why create a 'diplomatic war' against that enemy?

is this war-peace concept Abbas' plan? It might be.

This plan can be seen as having four parts which, altogether, would give Abbas--if it worked--the strongest anti-Israel, anti-Trump foundation possible to push his own ideas at the UN. It could also suggest that his "peace" plan is a blueprint for the destruction of Israel--in diplomat disguise.

Here are the four elements of this plan:

-Part One began February 8, 2020, at an Arab League meeting. There, Arab League members voted unanimously to support Abbas by rejecting the Trump Peace Plan (here). It gave Abbas a self-protecting argument to fight the Trump Plan: all Arabs reject this Plan; how can you ask me to accept it? 

-Part Two was first reported in Israel the next day (February 9th). According to Israel's channel 13 news, the PA had announced it would now bring ever more lawsuits against Israel at the International Criminal Court (ICC)--supported , the PA statement said, by "international lawyers" (here, ibid).

This was no accident. It seems that one mostly unreported portion of the Trump Plan was a specific provision that required the PA to drop all lawfare lawsuits against the Jewish state (here). This Part Two call for  more such lawsuits at the ICC was Abbas' way to signal he wasn't about to give up one 'arrow' in  his war 'quiver' against Israel--not for peace, at any rate. 

Part Three was to be a pro-Palestinian, anti-Trump UN Security Council Resolution. This Resolution, to reject and condemn the Trump Plan, was to be presented--and passed by the UNSC--today, February 11th.

Then, as the triumphant capstone to this four-part plan, Abbas would stand up later today at the UN to make a speech in which he would begin by touting his newest victory--the UNSC's rejection of the Trump Plan--and continue with his own ideas about what the world should do about the Arab-Israel conflict--ideas he would present on the world's biggest stage, the UN, for all to see. 

At first blush, the plan appeared to be a well-planned assault against those (Trump, Israel) Abbas chooses to hate. Except for one thing. Abbas didn't get enough support (or, at least, enough early support) from the UNSC to present today his 'we-reject-the-Trump-Plan' Resolution. Rumors (which may not have been rumors at all, but fact (here)) circulated late yesterday that Abbas had to withdraw his Resolution--out of a fear of being "humiliated" by a UNSC rejection of his call for condemnation of the Trump Plan (here, ibid). 

This is where we stand late morning, February 11, 2020, with Abbas. He's already spoken of an "intifada" at the UN and of peace in the same breath (here). What kind of madness is this? It's a madness, I would bet, many at the UN will cheer or applaud.

While in his home-city, Ramallah, Abbas incites violence (after the Trump Plan was announced on January 29, 2020) (here). It's his way of responding to the Trump Plan ; and  now he will now bring ideas for peace-with-an-intifada to the UN? 

This is no man of peace. This is a man of violence against peace (here).

As I write this, it's just before noon, Israel time, February 11, 2020. Reports here in Israel say Abbas is scheduled to give his speech at the UN at 5pm today, Israel time. 

We ask, will this speech suggest a plan for a Palestinian peace that is based on international diplomacy forcing Israel to destroy itself by, for example, having to allow some 4 million Palestinians to be repatriated back into Israel as part of a final peace resolution to the Arab-Israel conflict--or will it outline a different path? 

What will he say? What "peace' talk will we hear from him?

Stay tuned.
