Blinken Takes a Call From Abbas
When you’re willing to violate international law to please the Palestinians.
By Hugh Fitzgerald, FPM Feb 9/22

WAFA, the official Palestinian news outlet, has just reported on a telephone conversation Anthony Blinken had with PA President Mahmoud Abbas. If it is accurate, it is another sign that the Bidenites are willing to violate both international law and an act passed by Congress, in order to satisfy the Palestinians, in the hope that this will make them more amenable to negotiating with Israel. A report on this is here: “PA: Blinken says US will reopen consulate; rejects settlements, settler violence,” Times of Israel, January 31, 2022:
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas that the US “rejects” settlements and attacks by settlers on Palestinians, the PA’s official mouthpiece says.
