If man can imagine it and conceive it, it becomes reality! TR Hmmm … looks like the Biden Administration is trying to strengthen and get more countries to get onboard with Abraham Accords. It will probably succeed with the new Israeli government coming into power (2 state solution). Hopefully it won’t be long now before they start announcing … “peace and safety” :popcorn Biden administration laying groundwork for push to expand Abraham Accords Times of Israel June 10, 2021 AP — The Biden administration is laying the groundwork for a renewed push to encourage more Arab countries to sign accords with Israel and working to strengthen existing deals after last month’s devastating war in the Gaza Strip interrupted those diplomatic efforts. The embrace of the so-called Abraham Accords is a rare carryover of a signature Trump administration policy by President Joe Biden and other Democrats. The Trump administration put US clout and incentives into landing the country-by-country pacts by four Arab states last year, easing enmity and isolation for the Jewish state in the Middle East that had dated back to Israel’s 1948 founding. The Biden administration saw significant prospects of several other Arab governments signing accords soothing and normalizing relations with Israel. US officials have declined to publicly identify the countries they regard as promising prospects. The Biden administration is considering appointing a former US ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, to a Mideast role that would marshal and potentially expand the country-by-country accords between Israel and Mideast governments. Two people familiar with the matter confirmed Shapiro was being considered for the job, as first reported by The Washington Post. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly. US officials also are working to encourage more business, education and other ties among the four Arab states and Israel. They hope visible success there will also promote the bilateral accords in the region, at the same time the US works to advance resolution of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Last year, the United Arab Emirates became the first Arab country in over two decades to establish ties with Israel, after Egypt and Jordan in 1979 and 1994, respectively. It was a move that bypassed the Palestinians, who saw it as betrayal. The Abraham Accords include a general declaration of support for peaceful relations in the Middle East among Jews, Muslims and Christians, all followers of religions linked to the patriarch Abraham. The Trump administration saw the accords partly as paving a path toward full ties with Israel, including in security and intelligence cooperation to counter common rivals, such as Iran. The deals former President Donald Trump struck were “an important achievement, one that not only we support, but one we’d like to build on,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the House Foreign Affairs Committee this week. In addition, “we’re looking at countries that may want to join in and, and take part and begin to normalize their own relations with Israel. That, too, has been very much part of conversations I’ve had with, with several of my counterparts,” Blinken added. - Fair Use - The only thing McD’s had going for them were their French Fries … not any more … also have to worry about the carrots and onions in the grocery stores Potatoes for McDonald’s fries are grown on Bill Gates’ farmland in fields so big you can see them from space By Josh Marcus Potatoes for McDonald’s french fries. Carrots for the world’s largest producer. Onions at the grocery store. These are just a few of the numerous crops growing across America on the veritable agricultural empire belonging to Bill and Melinda Gates, who, with more than 269,000 acres to their name, are the biggest owners of farmland in the country. They’ve got so much of it, you can see one of their Washington farms from space. The couple, who are now in the midst of a divorce, which will include dividing their mammoth fortune, business, and philanthropic endeavours, own land in at least 18 states, purchased through a series of at least 22 different limited liability shell companies. - Fair Use - :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn Arab News June 10, 2021 Macron tells US Jewish advocacy group that Gaza fighting demonstrated need to boost negotiations French president says Iran must show responsible behavior in Middle East The French president was addressing the American Jewish Committee (AJC) Virtual Global Forum just weeks after an 11-day Israeli bombing campaign of Gaza killed hundreds of Palestinians including 66 children. Rockets fired from Gaza killed 12 Israelis. During the fighting last month, Macron spoke to both the Israeli and Palestinian leaders and said he worked with Egypt and Jordan on the ceasefire. Macron told the AJC event that the Gaza fighting “demonstrate the necessity for a decisive boost to the negotiations” to achieve lasting Israeli-Palestinian peace. “We know the parameters to reach a two-state solution, and France stands willing to contribute, while respecting the legitimate aspirations of each party.” However he also backed Israel’s “right to defend itself,” highlighting “France’s profound attachment to Israel’s security since its creation.” On Iran, Macron said there was no alternative other than a negotiated solution to restoring a deal restricting Iran’s nuclear program. But he said: “Iran must show evidence of their responsibility in the region.” France, he added, had been proposing since 2018 that Iran’s missile program and destabilizing activities across the Middle East should be factored in to any resurrection of the nuclear deal. Macron also said he wanted to remind the Jewish community of his “unwavering commitment” to combat antisemitism. - Fair Use - 2 Iranian warships cruising the Atlantic, Iran confirms – suspected weapons shipment to Venezuela American Military News On Thursday, an Iranian official announced two Iranian warships have entered the Atlantic Ocean, confirming reports last month that the ships were bound for the open waters. In comments reported by the Iranian state-run Press TV, Iranian Rear Adml. Habibollah Sayyari, Deputy Chief of Army for Coordination, said Iran’s Makran cargo ship and the domestically-built Sahand destroyer, have entered the Atlantic Ocean. Sayyari did not confirm the exact destination of the two Iranian military vessels in his Thursday remarks, but said they are carrying out the Iranian Navy’s “longest maritime mission toward the North Atlantic Ocean.” The Iranian admiral said, “We consider our presence in international waters an inalienable strategic right of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy and we will continue on this path with strength.” On Thursday, Politico reported President Joe Biden’s administration are urging both Venezuela and Cuba to turn away the two Iranian military vessels if the ships approach their ports. Addressing the weapons photographed aboard the Makran, a senior administration official told Politico, “The delivery of such weapons would be a provocative act and understood as a threat to our partners in the Western Hemisphere” adding, “We would reserve the right to take appropriate measures in coordination with our partners to deter the transit or delivery of such weapons.” The potential delivery of Iranian weapons to Venezuela comes as the Biden administration has been meeting indirectly with Iran for weeks in an effort to revive the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), otherwise known as the Iran nuclear deal. The U.S. delegation has been seeking to get Iran to return to compliance with the agreement, while Iran has been calling for an end to U.S. sanctions that have been imposed on the country after President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the deal in 2018. ———————- Russia to give Iran advanced satellite that could track IDF bases - report. The plan would deliver a Russian-made Kanopus-V satellite equipped with a high-resolution camera which could be launched from Russia within months, the Post said. By REUTERS, Jerusalem Post Staff The satellite is projected to have the ability to track long-range targets, including IDF bases, as well as oil refineries throughout the Persian Gulf and Iraqi bases for US troops. The plan would deliver a Russian-made Kanopus-V satellite equipped with a high-resolution camera which could be launched from Russia within months, the Post said. The report was published days before US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet in Geneva and as Iran and the United States are engaged in indirect talks on reviving a 2015 nuclear deal designed to put curbs on Iran's nuclear program in exchange for easing economic sanctions. The satellite would allow "continuous monitoring of facilities ranging from Persian Gulf oil refineries and Israeli military bases to Iraqi barracks that house US troops," said the paper, which cited three unnamed sources - a current and a former US official and a senior Middle Eastern government official briefed on the sale. While the Kanopus-V is marketed for civilian use, leaders of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps have made several trips to Russia since 2018 to help negotiate the agreement, the Post said. Russian experts traveled to Iran this spring to help train crews who would operate the satellite from a newly built facility near Karaj west of Tehran, it added. The satellite would feature Russian hardware, the Post said, "including a camera with a resolution of 1.2 meters — a significant improvement over Iran’s current capabilities, though still far short of the quality achieved by US spy satellites." The Revolutionary Guards said in April 2020 that they had successfully launched the country's first military satellite into orbit, prompting then-US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to call for Tehran to be held accountable because he believed the action defied a UN Security Council resolution. - Fair Use - There is a concerted effort to take the USA down: election fraud, pipeline hacking and shutdowns, timber price manipulation, housing buy-ups, censorship everywhere, toxic jab, masks, lockdowns, open borders, stifling of Christianity, encouragement of LGTBQ, so-called toxic masculinity, cancel culture, wokeism, on and on.
