Thomas L. Friedman, non compos mentis mutton head, writes that the Trump/Kushner-led UAE-Israel deal announced today is a “HUGE” diplomatic breakthrough. It is not.
It’s bullshit. Like the U.S.-DPRK peace treaty, remember that one? The one that would win Trump the Nobel Prize? The one that never got signed? This one is not even close to that one. At least the U.S. and the DPRK were real enemies! Israel and UAE have been playing footsy for a long while. Today Trump got Netanyahu to “SUSPEND” annexation of the West Bank, not “cancel” the annexation plans. A three-way statement issued says "Israel will suspend declaring sovereignty" over the occupied West Bank (eye roll emoji). To make it perfectly clear Netanyahu said on Israeli TV that he had only agreed to "DELAY” annexation, and that he would "NEVER give up our rights to our land. There is no change to my plan to extend sovereignty, our sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, in full coordination with the United States.”
It’s bullshit. Trump manufactures bullshit and gives to Friedman to go peddle bullshit.
