Israel Matzav

A slap across Abu Bluff's arrogant mug

'Moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen was planning to host 12 foreign ministers from the 'Non-Aligned Nations' in Ramallah to plan his trip to the UN next month. Israel then announced it would not allow five of the 12 into the country because they do not have diplomatic relations with Israel. Now, Abu Mazen has canceled the event. You think his feelings were hurt or something?

The ministers’ countries are members of the “Palestine Committee” belonging to the Non-Aligned Movement.

The foreign dignitaries were scheduled to arrive in Ramallah from Jordan through the Allenby Bridge and by helicopter.

The PA’s decision to cancel the conference came after Israel made clear on Sunday morning that it would not allow transit to Ramallah of the foreign ministers of countries with which it does not have diplomatic ties: Bangladesh, Cuba, Indonesia, Malaysia and Algeria.

Israel said, however, that it would enable transit of the foreign ministers of seven countries who do have ties with Israel: Egypt, India, Colombia, South Africa, Senegal, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

This was to be the first gathering of its kind in the West Bank since the establishment of the PA in 1994. Diplomatic officials in Jerusalem said it was yet another attempt by the PA to embarrass Israel and to complicate its relations with other countries.

Read it all and enjoy watching the 'Palestinians' seethe.
