The US embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem hasn’t doomed an “ultimate deal” between the two sides, the US ambassador said.
ed note–again, please plug a few important factors into all of this–
1. The Jews don’t want any ‘peace deal’, which is why they have been opposed to Trump since before he got the Republican nomination and why they are determined to bring him down, despite the gestures he has made with regards to Jew-rusalem and the Iranian deal. War and the presence of strategic tension is the only glue holding together the insane asylum known as the Jewish state, and therefore any meaningful resolution to the problems in the area would spell doom for the entire Judea Resurrecta experiment.
2. Friedman’s position concerning the ‘Russian presence’ in the region and his statement that ‘I guarantee Netanyahu speaks more with the president of the United States than he does with the leader of Russia’ can be read several ways, none of them exclusive–
A. That Netanyahu knows he can’t push Russia around,
and
B. That Netanyahu has Trump on the ropes politically with all the noise that is generated on a daily basis in the JMSM vis a vis the talk of impeachment and prosecution due to his personal control of Congress and the Mueller probe, and all of this due to Trump’s position concerning his ‘peace deal’. If Trump were as much ‘owned’ by the Jews as some maintain, there would be no talk of any peace deal, the US would be a war with Syria, Iran, Russia, Libya, etc, in exactly the same manner as witnessed in Iraq and Afghanistan and all talk of impeachment, Stormy Daniels, Russian interference and the rest would come to a dead stop in a NY minute.

Hailing President Donald Trump as an optimist and a supremely talented negotiator, US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said Wednesday the president aims to come up with a win-win structure for a proposed peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.
‘Trump has always been an optimist. He has better powers of negotiation and persuasion than anyone else I’ve met,” Friedman said in an interview with Channel 10. “Ultimately, he’s looking for that win-win, where everyone says we’re better off.’
Friedman didn’t otherwise reveal new details on the peace plan set to be released within the next few months, saying only that there was “a lot of finalizing” going on and that substance wasn’t the only element the Trump administration is considering.
Timing, he said, is also important.
Further, the US Embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem hasn’t doomed an “ultimate deal” between the two sides, Friedman said, adding that Trump is uncomfortable not keeping campaign promises. The president’s sentiment is always “Let’s do the right thing, whatever it is,” he said.
On Iran, Friedman reiterated the US position that its fight isn’t with the country’s people, but that the US would hold the regime accountable for pursuing nuclear weapons and for financing terrorism and military adventurism throughout the Middle East.
The ambassador praised Israel for containing the Islamic Republic in Syria, seemingly referring to Israel’s increasingly out-in-the-open preemptive strikes against Iranian targets in the war-tarn country.
When pressed about whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin meant a growing Russian presence in the Middle East, Friedman said, “I guarantee he speaks more with the president of the United States than he does with the leader of Russia.”

Does this ambassador even know HOW to speak the truth?
“Friedman didn’t otherwise reveal new details on the peace plan set to be released within the next few months, saying only that there was “a lot of finalizing” going on and that substance wasn’t the only element the Trump administration is considering.”
Yeees, well let us withhold judgement and wait a few months, shall we?
Wiki tells me that ‘David Melech Friedman’ was an American bankruptcy lawyer who represented Trump, presumably on his apparently numerous bankruptcies. Ended up as an advisor on presidential campaign. Then got sworn in as U.S. Ambassador to Israel. Career magic.
Under the heading ‘Legal and philanthropic career’, we discover that Friedman heads up the American Friends of Bet El Institutions, ‘an organization that advocates against a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and provides around $2 million per year to the Israeli settlement Bet El.’
More interesting factoids…
a) The organization also received donations from the family foundation of Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law.
b) The settlement runs the Israeli newspaper Arutz Sheva, where Friedman is a columnist.
c) In his writings and statements, Friedman repeatedly argued in support of Israeli settlements, declaring them legal.
Just how committed then is Friedman to a ‘peace plan’? Take your time…
Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin’ down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see
The loneliness there
You’re always window-shopping
But never stopping to buy
So, shed those dowdy feathers and fly!
