APN's daily news review from Israel
Wednesday June 26, 2019

News Nosh 6.24.19

APN's daily news review from Israel
Monday June 24, 2019
 
Quote of the day:
"If Donald Trump or his team had studied the history of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, they would have realized that an attempt to start with the economy before discussing the core issues of the conflict is nothing but a slap in the face of Palestinians and a complete misreading of their national aspirations. Had it been possible to 'buy' the Palestinians, and have them abandon their national aspirations, there is no doubt that this would have already occurred. We are speaking then of a thought process that is not only immoral, it also lacks all feasibility."
----Ami Ayalon, former politician, former Shin Bet chief and former commander-in-chief of the Navy, wrote in Yedioth that the Trump peace plan won't work.*
