Abbas: Meet Our Conditions, Then We Can Have Peace

PA Chairman tells university graduates in Jericho: Unless all our demands are met, there will not be a peace agreement with Israel.-By Elad Benari-First Publish: 9/16/2013, 5:44 AM-IsraelNationalNews

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas-Flash 90
Israel’s “peace partner”, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, has once again outright rejected an Israeli demand to ensure a peace agreement that does not harm its security.In a speech on Sunday to graduates of a university in Jericho, Abbas also clarified that unless all of the PA’s demands are met, there will not be a peace agreement with Israel.Abbas told the graduates that the eastern border of the State of Palestine along the Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley will be with Jordan, thus essentially rejecting an Israeli demand for a special security arrangement in the Jordan Valley, that would allow IDF soldiers to remain in the region after the establishment of a Palestinian state.In the past, Abbas indicated his willingness to allow an international UN presence in a future Palestinian state, but stressed that not a single Israeli – civilian or soldier - will be allowed in “Palestine”.Abbas also told the students that the current negotiations between Israel and the PA are intended to reach a two-state solution based on the borders that existed before June 4, 1967, end “the occupation”, bring about the realization of the independence of the State of Palestine whose capital is Jerusalem, and bring a settlement to all final status issues, including releasing PA Arab terrorists from Israeli jails.“Unless all the demands and rights of our people are realized" there will not be an arrangement, he stressed.The speech in Jericho is the latest example of Abbas saying one thing when he speaks in English to Western officials or to Israelis, then turning around and telling his own people the opposite in Arabic.
Most recently, members of the Israeli leftist party Meretz who met with Abbas claimed that the PA Chairman had reassured them that if a peace agreement is reached with Israel, it would bring an end to his people’s demands of the Jewish state. He also assured the Meretz members that the PA would give up its demand for the “right of return”, which would see millions of Arabs who fled Israel in 1948 and their descendants flood Israel.However, several days later an official statement from Abbas’s Fatah party made it clear that "the main goal of the negotiations with Israel is to establish an independent Palestinian state within the [pre-]1967 borders with its capital Al-Quds (Jerusalem -ed.), and the return of refugees in accordance with resolutions by international legitimate institutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.”For years, the PA has demanded a state based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Six Day War. Israel refuses, as these borders, which were termed “Auschwitz borders” by the late former Foreign Minister Abba Eban, are indefensible and would guarantee its destruction.Abbas agreed to resume negotiations with Israel in July after being pressured to do so by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.Kerry asked both sides to keep the details of the negotiations secret in order to give the process a chance to work and, while Israeli officials have remain tight-lipped about the talks, PA officials have made several leaks to the press.In the most recent leak, a PA official said that during the negotiations, Israel agreed to a wholesale deportation of thousands of Jews from Judea and Samaria and the transfer of their property to PA Arabs. However, the PA official who reported on that Israeli offer added that the PA side had rejected it as not going far enough. In an earlier leak to the press, the PA's chief negotiator, Saeb Erekat, told an Arabic radio station that the US has guaranteed the PA all of its key preconditions in advance of negotiations.At the same time, PA officials have publicly stated that achieving peace with Israel was impossible, blaming the Jewish state and its “occupation” of Judea and Samaria for this.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I COMMENTED ON.THAT RUSSIA-SYRIA AND THE ARAB-MUSLIMS WOULD TRY TO FORCE THIS BAN ON ISRAEL

Israel worried it may be forced to join chemical weapons ban

With deal to disarm Syria of WMDs underway, some policymakers concerned US, Russia may pressure Jerusalem to ratify arms treaty

By Times of Israel staff and AP September 16, 2013, 4:55 am 5-The Times of Israel

The Foreign Ministry last week stated that Israel wouldn’t ratify the CWC so long as other states in the region with chemical weapons refuse to recognize Israel and threaten to destroy it, Haaretz reported.
Despite this, should Syria be disarmed of its WMDs, officials in Israel’s defense establishment are confident that Israel can safely become a signatory to the treaty without compromising national security, the Channel 10 report said.At a joint press conference with US Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked him for his efforts to purge Syria of chemical weapons and linked the agreement with Syria to the ongoing campaign to curb Iran’s controversial nuclear program.“We have been closely following – and support – your ongoing efforts to rid Syria of its chemical weapons,” Netanyahu said. “The Syrian regime must be stripped of all its chemical weapons, and that would make our entire region a lot safer.“The world needs to ensure that radical regimes don’t have weapons of mass destruction because as we’ve learned once again in Syria, if rogue regimes have weapons of mass destruction, they will use them. The determination the international community shows regarding Syria will have a direct impact on the Syrian regime’s patron, Iran. Iran must understand the consequences of its continual defiance of the international community, by its pursuit toward nuclear weapons… if diplomacy has any chance to work, it must be coupled with a credible military threat.”Netanyahu earlier Sunday expressed cautious optimism about the deal, stressing that the proof of its effectiveness would be in deeds, not words.Officials in Jerusalem said late Saturday Israel would of course be delighted to see the Assad regime stripped of chemical weapons, but that it was wary of the unfolding diplomatic framework and concerned that Assad was bent on buying time and won’t adhere to the timeline.

EU offers to help destroy Syria weapons

15.09.13 @ 19:35
By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - EU countries have offered to help destroy Syria's chemical weapons as part of a Russia-US deal.Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and US secretary of state John Kerry agreed the plan on Saturday (14 September) in Geneva after three days of talks.It says Syria must in one week disclose details of its chemical arsenal to the Organisation for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), an intergovernmental body created in 1997 and based in The Hague.It must give OPCW staff full access to it facilities.OPCW personnel are to destroy "production and mixing/filling equipment" by November.
They are to destroy all remaining "weapons material and equipment" in the first half of 2014.If Syria does not comply, if it uses chemical weapons or if it tries to sneak them to allies in Lebanon and Iran, then Russia and the US "concur" that "the UN Security Council should impose measures under chapter VII of the UN charter," or, in other words, should authorise use of military force.Syria itself on Saturday ratified the OCPW charter.It also welcomed the deal. "It's a victory for Syria achieved thanks to our Russian friends," its reconciliation minister, Ali Haidar, told Russian news agency Ria Novosti.But Syrian rebel leaders rejected it. "We cannot accept this initiative … We will continue to fight until the fall of the regime," Free Syrian Army chief Selim Idriss told press in Istanbul.For his part, Kerry said in Geneva: "I have no doubt that the combination of the threat of force and the willingness to pursue diplomacy helped to bring us to this moment."
Lavrov warned Syrian rebels "not to create threats to [OPCW] international personnel."Leading EU countries France, Germany and the UK, as well as China and Iran, have endorsed the agreement.
Chancellor Angela Merkel told an election rally in Germany on Sunday it creates hope for a political solution to the civil war.French foreign minister Laurent Fabius, while visiting China, said: "Only a few days ago, Syria was denying having chemical weapons and having used them. From now on we are in a new phase."
British foreign minister William Hague noted in London: "This is a significant step forward."EU foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton added in a statement: "A number of EU member states have the technical knowledge necessary to assist in securing sites, and in dismantling and destroying certain chemical agents … the EU stands ready to offer further support to the OPCW in carrying out its important and urgent tasks."
Syrian rebels are not the only ones unhappy with developments, however.Two US senators from the opposition Republican Party, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, predict Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad will use the chemical deal to muzzle international critics while he continues to massacre civilians.They said it is "the start of a diplomatic blind alley, and the Obama administration is being led into it by Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin," referring to US President Barack Obama and Russian head of state Vladimir Putin.
With Kerry due in Jerusalem for talks with Israeli leaders on Sunday, Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt noted that Israel is also suspected of having chemical weapons."After Syria deal, with implementation to be watched carefully, Israel should ratify and Egypt sign and ratify Chemical Weapons Convention," he tweeted.
Kerry in Geneva also explained how the deal came about.The initiative took off after Kerry, at a press conference in London last Monday, said, in an off-the-cuff remark, that al-Assad could avoid military strikes by handing over "every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week."
He noted in Switzerland on Saturday that he had discussed the idea with Lavrov by phone in the run-up to the G20 summit in St Petersburg before the London press event.He said Obama and Putin also talked about it in St Petersburg and that "the rest is history."In EU circles, the Polish foreign ministry is putting it about that its minister, Radek Sikorski, came up with the plan.An EU diplomat told EUobserver it originated in a meeting of eight Nordic and Baltic foreign ministers in Visby, Sweden, on 4 September, however.The diplomat said the eight countries discussed Syria after requests for Ashton to convene an EU-level debate fell on deaf ears.

Assad’s biological weapons absent from US-Russia deal

Syrian regime has two bases producing anthrax and other devastating agents, Israel’s Channel 10 reports

By Times of Israel staff September 15, 2013, 9:20 pm 4-The Times of Israel

He noted “reports of one underground facility and one near the coast,” cited a “possible production capability for anthrax and botulism, and possibly other agents,” and mentioned “limited indications [Syria] may be developing or testing biological variations on ZAB-incendiary bombs and PTAB-500 cluster bombs and Scud warheads.”The Cordesman report noted that “using advanced agents – such as the most lethal forms of anthrax – can have the effectiveness of small theater nuclear weapons. It is difficult to design adequate missile warheads to disseminate such agents, but this is not beyond Syrian capabilities – particularly since much of the technology needed to make effective cluster munitions and bomblets for VX gas can be adapted to the delivery of biological weapons.“The design of biological bombs and missile warheads with the lethality of small nuclear weapons may now be within Syrian capabilities, as is the design of UAV, helicopter, cruise missile, or aircraft-borne systems to deliver the agent slowly over a long line of flight and taking maximum advantage of wind and weather conditions,” he wrote.On Friday, Sen. John Cornyn (R., Texas) wrote to President Barack Obama to warn that “omitting Assad’s bioweapons from any agreement would represent a gaping hole in the plan.” Such weaponry, in the hands of Assad or his allies, wrote Cornyn, “represent a direct security threat” to the US and its allies. If Hezbollah and other terror groups got hold of this materiel, he warned, “this would be a direct threat to the United States and our allies, particularly Israel.”

France doesn’t rule out ‘military option’ in Syria

French president says that without a credible threat of force, ‘there will be no pressure’

20 trucks with Syrian chemical equipment said sent to Iraq

Unconfirmed report in Lebanese newspaper echoes claims by Syrian rebels that Assad is hiding his WMD stocks to evade inspectors

By Times of Israel staff September 15, 2013, 1:08 pm 3-The Times of Israel

Sunday’s report came amid ongoing claims by the leader of the Free Syrian Army, Salim Idriss, that Assad was busy hiding his chemical weapons so that, when UN inspectors arrive to record and ultimately oversee the destruction of his stockpiles, a sizable amount of his WMD stocks will not be affected.In interviews over the weekend, Idriss insisted his group had accurate information that Assad was sending some chemical weapons to Lebanon and Iraq, and more to “dozens of sites” across Syria to torpedo any attempt at international inspection and destruction of the stockpiles, as mandated by Saturday’s US-Russia agreement.
A CNN report on Thursday also quoted Idriss claiming that the Syrian government had begun moving its chemical weapons stockpiles to Lebanon and Iraq.Baghdad rejected Idriss’s claim, and Israeli officials who spoke to the news outlet said they had no indication that Assad had moved the WMDs to Lebanon or Iraq.
The Wall Street Journal last week also cited “American and Middle Eastern officials” as saying that the Syrian military unit running Assad’s chemical weapons program was scattering the regime’s stockpiles to as many as 50 sites across the country to confound American efforts to track them.“The movements of chemical weapons by Syria’s elite Unit 450 could complicate any US bombing campaign in Syria over its alleged chemical attacks,” the paper wrote, citing officials. “It also raises questions about implementation of a Russian proposal that calls for the regime to surrender control of its stockpile.”According to US officials, American and Israeli officials are confident that they can still identify the locations of Assad’s chemical weapons sites, “but with less confidence than six months ago,” the paper wrote.Another Syrian rebel leader said last Friday that the Assad regime has transferred chemical weapons to the Lebanese Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah.According to a report in Saudi Arabia’s al-Watan newspaper, Syrian National Coalition member Kamal al-Labwani said the rebels obtained documents and testimony from a defector from one of the Syrian government’s chemical weapons research centers that indicate Assad transferred roughly one metric ton of VX nerve gas to its ally, Hezbollah.Al-Labwani told al-Watan that he forwarded documentary proof of his claim to the US Embassy in Jordan and British intelligence in Doha. The al-Watan report could not be independently confirmed.Israel has repeatedly vowed to prevent Hezbollah’s acquisition of sophisticated weaponry, including chemical weapons. In January, Israeli fighter jets carried out an airstrike near a chemical weapons facility outside Damascus. US officials said the Israelis struck the military research center and a convoy next to it, which was carrying anti-aircraft weapons destined for the Islamic militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon.Western intelligence estimates that the Assad regime possesses roughly 1,000 metric tons of chemical and biological weapons.

Assad says US must stop military threats, and Israel must sign WMD treaties

Syrian president, announcing plans to submit data on his chemical weapons a month after signing int’l convention, issues demands of his own

By Times of Israel staff and AP September 12, 2013, 5:24 pm Updated: September 12, 2013, 10:51 pm 24-The Times of Israel

Calling a month wait the “standard process,” Assad said his country would abide by agreements, but said that such a process is “two-sided” and indicated it would only work if the US halts its threats of military action against Syria, if Washington does not arm Syrian rebels, and if Israel also ratifies weapons ban conventions.“When we see that the United States really wants stability in our region, and will stop threatening and striving to attack, and will stop providing weapons to the terrorists, then we will consider that we can carry out these necessary processes to the end,” he said.Speaking to Russia’s state-run Rossiya-24 TV, he added that any war against Syria would destroy the whole region.“If we want stability in the Middle East, all the countries in the region should stick to [international] agreements,” he said. “And Israel is the first state that should do so, since Israel possessed nuclear, chemical, biological and all other kinds of weapons of mass destruction.”A United Nations spokesperson told al-Jazeera Thursday evening that the UN had received a document from Syria initiating the process of Syria declaring its chemical weapons stockpile.Assad told the news channel that his government had agreed to surrender its chemical weapons in response to Russia’s initiative and not because of the US threat of attack.“Syria is transferring chemical weapons under international control because of Russia,” Assad said.Assad added that “the US threats hadn’t influenced” his government’s decision.“The most important role belongs to the Russian government, because we do not trust the United States and have no contact. Russia is the only government that can carry this out right now,” he said.Russia on Monday proposed that Syria place its chemical weapons under international control and eventually dismantle them in order to avert a US strike, and Syria quickly accepted the proposal.US Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov were set to sit down together to discuss details of the plan in Geneva later Thursday.Speaking to his Cabinet Thursday, US President Barack Obama said he hoped the two could work out a deal with a “concrete result.”“I know that [Kerry] is going to be working very hard over the next several days to see what the possibilities are there,” he said.
