Ramallah – The Palestinians will start a new violent uprising if Donald Trump’s incoming White House administration relocates the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a senior Fatah official indicated this week in an interview translated by MEMRI.

“I believe that any American act of stupidity will ignite the Palestinian territories,” Fatah Central Committee member Sultan Abu al-Einein told Egypt’s Alghad TV on Sunday.
Al-Einein, an aide to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, also pointed to Israeli “arrogance” and settlement activity along with the potential US maneuver as provoking Palestinian violence.
“We must prepare for a confrontation with the new US administration, which has clearly and audaciously declared that Israel and its settlements are legitimate and legal,” he asserted.
The Palestinian official charged that Washington and Jerusalem “will bear responsibility for the return of the bloodshed in the Palestinian territories.”
The Trump team has said that the US president-elect considers moving the embassy a “very big priority.”
Throughout his campaign for the presidency, Trump repeatedly said he would move the US Embassy if elected – a political promise past US presidents have frequently made, yet has never been held.
Longstanding US policy is to treat the status of Jerusalem as an issue to be settled in final-status negotiations with the Palestinians.
Trump’s pledge to move the mission has been met with mixed reactions from Israeli officials.
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman has questioned whether it would be wise for Trump to prioritize moving America’s embassy upon taking office. Meanwhile, Israel’s ambassador to the US Ron Dermer has backed the potential move as “a great step for peace.”
Bring it on!
Hmm… Is it also ok for Israel to threaten bloodshed?
There it is – your peace loving partner has spoken. Give us what we want or we kill you, then when we get what we want, we will kill you anyway. The infidels must die! So much for compromise with irrational hatred.Does anyone have a better idea? Yaakov Avinu did – gifts( compromise)tried and failed, make ready for conflict.- tried with a lot of pain and forced to repeat ,and tefilla(learning,kiruv and ahavas chinum) – perhaps that is something we can all do better. Lets begin with stop calling each other names and seek the value in the words and thoughts of others.
They are blood sucking animals!
I hope this will be an impetus to finally crack down on these troublemakers and get rid of them once and for all.
Are we already having bloodshed even without any “move”? Yes.
Seems like this shedding of blood is an ongoing habit, ongoing hatred. It is as we have been told, b’chol dor v’dor….
Lets hope he wouldnt move it & save some jewish blood, even it will cost 1 jewish life its not worth moving,
Comment #1 2 3 4 you guys are plan רוצחים shame on you.
This is beloney, the minute they have opportunity to kill they do it , even if embassy is in TEL AVIV
the blood shed will be yours sultan el crappo!
This is Diplomacy: Speaking about bloodshed…
Plain simple anyone who supports anything Israel does that will incite bloodthirsty Palestinians are Mecahlal Shem Shomayim and Rotzchiem. According to the Torah ONE Jewish life is more worth than the forbidden state of Israel.
But flaming Zionist dont care about Jewish lives. All they care about is their twisted nationalistic ideology.
This has nothing to do with the NK. This was the view and Daas Torah of all REAL Gedolim prior WW2.
The U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, must be removed to Jerusalem, within 30 days of Trump taking office. If the Arabs wish to riot and cause mayhem, they should be dealt with severely, with water cannons, tear gas, rubber hoses, dogs, and if the latter methods don’t work, live ammunition. The scourge of their rioting, stone throwing, looting, stabbings, carjackings and using cars and trucks as deadly weapons, must be put down with overwhelming force, once and for all, even if it means calling up the reserves.
The heading should have read “Ramallah – Fatah Official: Bloodshed Will Follow If Trump Moves Embassy To Jerusalem or If Trump Doesn’t Move Embassy to Jerusalem”.
Sultan – you idiots will dig terror tunnels that will collapse on your own diggers and your bomb engineers who can’t read all the instructions will blow themselves up trying to make bombs and you’ll have the bloodshed you seek. Try not to trip over your own feet next time you get up to proclaim important announcements.
It seems quite obvious that such a move will cause some deaths. That seems hardly worth saying.
