Quotes from the Interview of the day:
Right-wing Journalist: How can you say that you are a Palestinian first and foremost, but do not want to be part of a Palestinian state, preferring to be part of the State of Israel, which is a Jewish state?
Mayor of Arab-Israeli city of Umm al-Fahem: "I am a mayor in the State of Israel first and I am also a proud Palestinian. You want to take my identity away from me - you won’t get it. My grandfather was born in Jaffa. You are trying to establish that I have an affinity for Jenin, but my affinity is also to Um al-Fahm, to Jaffa and to Haifa. I say - let's live in two countries for two nations despite what I said.”

News Nosh 1.30.20

APN's daily news review from Israel
Thursday January 30, 2020

 
Quote of the day:
“The White House looked like Habayit Hayehudi (nationalist-religious Zionist party) the other day, awash in kippot and Yiddishkeit. Does one have to be an anti-Semite to wonder about this? With all the wheeler-dealer peacemakers – all these Friedmans, Adelsons, Greenblatts, Kushners and Berkowitzes, these supposedly fair and unbiased mediators, it’s impossible to even think about the start of a fair accord. It’s not hard to guess what goes through the mind of every Palestinian and every seeker of justice at the sight of this all-Jewish and all-right-wing class picture.”
Gideon Levy writes in Haaretz+ that the unfair Trump plan is the start of the third Nakba.*

News Nosh 1.28.20

APN's daily news review from Israel
Tuesday January 28, 2020

 
Quote of the day:
“If you look at the dictionary, you'll understand (the Palestinian entity laid out in the Trump plan) isn't the definition of a state. That is not what the plan allows, and so the resistance from the Right and the rabbis is a mistake."
--Unnamed 'senior US official' tells 'Israel Hayom' that right-wing does not have to be concerned that the Trump plan gives Palestinians a state.*

You Must Be Kidding: 
"Over the course of the past decade, the likelihood of separation has diminished. The right-wing is creating the reality of one large, binational state…Another neighborhood and another outpost - and the binational state, which will be non-Jewish and non-democratic, is forming. So maybe, who knows, this is the last opportunity the right-wing can be a part of. So the choice is not between the Clinton outline, the Geneva Initiative or the John Kerry draft in 2014 and the Trump deal. The choice is between a bi-national state and the Trump deal."
--Yedioth's right-wing commentator Ben-Dror Yemini says the threat of the illegal expansion of the settlement enterprise on the side of Israel should be reason enough to convince the Zionist left-wing leaders to accept the Trump plan.*

News Nosh 1.26.20

APN's daily news review from Israel
Sunday January 26, 2020

 
Quote of the Day #1:
“While the world is busy worrying about Trump's declarations and the administration's reactions, the situation on the ground is deteriorating, and the aggression and antagonism of the settlers are only getting stronger."
—Ghassan Douglass, who follows settler activities in the northern West Bank, said after settlers attack and injured a Palestinian father and son.*

Quote of the Day #2:
"Don't say I'm delusional. According to what's going on in the State of Israel, it can still happen, anything can happen. If Miri Regev is the Minister of Culture, Naftali Bennett is Minister of Defense, Amir Ohana is Minister of Justice and David Amsalem is Minister of Communications, then (Kahanist Itamar) Ben-Gvir and Trimbobler (wife of killer of Yitzhak Rabin) can integrate wonderfully around the government table."
--Maariv commentator and radio host, Natan Zahavi, wrote that he would not be surprised if two of the most extreme right-wing people running in the upcoming Israeli elections were to become part of the government.*
