A meeting between Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and senior White House official Jared Kushner reportedly left the Palestinian leader fuming and refusing to agree to watered-down demands that Ramallah cut off payments for some convicted terrorists and their families.
According to Palestinian sources quoted in Hebrew and Arabic media Friday, Abbas and his advisers accused the US of taking Israel’s side and refused a demand to stop paying salaries to several hundred prisoners serving time for the most serious crimes.
Kushner, who is US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and chief Middle East adviser, met with Abbas in Ramallah on Wednesday, along with Trump’s international negotiator Jason Greenblatt.
Kushner, making his first negotiating foray to the region, held two key meetings Wednesday– with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then with Abbas — before heading back to Washington.
Kushner began his meeting with Abbas by stating all the Israeli concerns, including stopping the payments, according to Hebrew media reports, angering Abbas.
“The American delegation accepted Israel’s position with regard to paying salaries to prisoners,” a Palestinian source told Ynet, “and described it as a means of inciting terror, demanding it be stopped.”

Death and destruction is their only goal and we should not be paying them one red cent.
Shouldn't be meeting with them either . The opinions of terrorist should never be considered.
Abbas encourages his people to murder Israelis daily . Americans have lost their lives due to this encouragement also. Our money should never be used to reward them.
CUT THEM OFF It's the ONLY right thing to do.
Pinging the end times ping list
Abbas said enraged by Kushner meet, refuses to halt pay even to worst terrorists
Abbas was the asshole who helped murder the Israeli Olympic team and educates children to kill infidels. Only thing I care about these cretins is when they take their last dirt nap. Abbas is a demon. JMHO
Exactly
Rumors were going around today that Abbas is dead. His office said those were put out by Dahlan...for those keeeping up with that soap opera
Abbas finances MURDER before and after the fact,
making him “attractive” to the US State Dept, and UN.
It now appears that the Psalm 83 “war” is taking place over several decades. First 1967, then 1973, and the final piece of it this summer.
We are on Final Approach, and Abba Father YHWH has asked us to put our seats in the full upright and locked position! Ninety days to the Harpazo, and 120 days until the start of The Week of Jacobs Trouble!
Hold fast! Be about your Father’s business!

Israel cuts electricity to Gaza for third day, as per Abbas request
Then we shouldn’t give them a thin dime till they stop.
Used to be that I would say that the only negotiating we should be doing with the Palestinians is asking them if they would prefer immediate relocation into Syria or a bullet in the head.
But I have no wish to further destabilize Assad at this point.
Same with Jordan and Egypt.
So - let’s make a gift to Erdogan. Bit of a trek but it’s ok.

Right, he was just turning his life around, was going to be nice, was going to make peace, its was going to finally be peace in our life-times, wanted to love all jews, but not now... all ended by the White House.
Or maybe some of his palipals said, you keep paying or you die.
....cut off payments for some convicted terrorists and their families....
Abass never intended to cut off the blood money in the first place. Just more taqyia.
Won’t make the smallest sensible concession. Why do liberals in Europe and America continue to think a treaty could ever be negotiated with those people??
....It’s way past time to cut off all funding to these terrorist...
They’re getting a cut of the billions that Zer0 gave to Iran.
Thanks for the ping!
I guess this means no “deal”?
Maybe it’s time to tell the pali-terrorists to FOAD. Tell the Israelis that they have carte-blanche with how they want to deal with them.
The Palestinians don’t want freedom or space or anything less than the destruction of Israel.
So let the Israelis and Palestinians go at it toe to toe, winner takes all.
If the other muslim regimes want to stick their noses into it, they become fair game also.
Sometimes a battle of attrition is the only way to resolve a conflict of interests.
They should draw a line on this, and refuse to pay one thin dime to them.
I am sure the US still funds a hefty percentage of the Palestinian Authority’s budget. Cut it to zero until Abbas complies.
Personally I would cut it to zero anyway!
Did anyone ever think, that as long as the USA pays the PA millions of dollars, why would they want to negotiate for peace? Cut off the money, and you watch them settle.
