Representatives of the four parties to the so-called Quartet are expected to arrive in Jerusalem Tuesday to try and make hay at the Jews’ expense while the sun purportedly shines on the land-for-peace process – thanks to Hamas.
They are being described as “low level” envoys, but the meeting of these individuals – representing the United States, Russia, the United Nations and the European Union – will still be geared towards pushing forward the international community’s plan to rob the Jews of half of their homeland for the creation of a Palestinian state.
The Jerusalem get-together will take place a day after Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas meet at a summit being convened by Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak – a man who, despite his country’s peace agreement with Israel, has consistently nurtured a deep hatred of the Jewish state.
The Quartet has been spurred on by the Hamas coup d’etat in Gaza earlier this month that saw the Islamist terrorist organization take power from its sister but secular terrorist movement – Abbas’ Fatah faction of the PLO.
According to news agencies quoting a spokesman for the Quartet’s Russian component, the purpose of Tuesday’s meeting will be to discuss the latest Middle East developments and work on “plans of action for the future.”
It will lay the groundwork for a high-level follow up Quartet meeting in the near future which will do everything possible to capitalize on the “new reality” so as to “help” Israel get out of Judea and Samaria as soon as possible.
Like Olmert and US President George W. Bush, the Quartet has predictably chosen to ignore the glaring notice the Hamas move sent out highlighting the folly of pursuing a Palestinian Arab state in the “West Bank” with any representative including Abbas.
Rightists are warning that once Israel has disengaged from Samaria and Judea, Hamas will be as capable of taking over those areas as it was at gobbling up Gaza.
