During the POTUS Obama administration, what progress was made
on a Palestine - Israeli peace agreement?
We gave the Palestinians millions in aid, but in the 75
years since their failed 1967 War, they have not seriously
negotiated and not offered anything serious towards progress.
Neither Hillary Clinton nor Kerry made progress.
So, POTUS Trump is trying something different than what
has failed for 75 years.
And here Kerry is a traitor to current US policy.

Kerry to Abbas confidante: 'Stay strong and do not give in to Trump'
Kerry: 'Israel heading to a place of danger' over settlements
MK Oren: John Kerry has 'acrid & obsessive' place in his heart for
Israel

The former US Secretary of State also surprised his interlocutor by
saying he was seriously considering running for president in 2020.

While the White House has confirmed that since the Jerusalem Declaration
there has been a complete disconnect between the Palestinian Authority
and the Trump administration, it turns out that the previous
administration has maintained contact with PA officials.

While the White House has confirmed that since the Jerusalem Declaration
there has been a complete disconnect between the Palestinian Authority
and the Trump administration, it turns out that the previous
administration has maintained contact with PA officials.

Maariv reported that former US secretary of state John Kerry met in
London with a close associate of PA President Mahmoud Abbas, Hussein
Agha, for a long and open conversation about a variety of topics. Agha
apparently reported details of the conversation to senior PA officials
in Ramallah. A senior PA official confirmed to Maariv that the meeting
took place.

Agha is one of Abbas’s closest associates and one of the veteran
peacemakers with Israel.

He conducted the “London Track,” secret negotiations held from 2010 to
2013 between the emissaries of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
attorney Yitzhak Molcho and Brig.-Gen. Mike Herzog, under the
supervision and presence of Dennis Ross. Agha also authored with Yossi
Beilin the Beilin-Abbas agreement in the 1990s. He is considered a
staunch supporter of the peace process, very close to Abbas, and
maintains an extensive network of contacts, including Israelis.

During the conversation, according to the report, Kerry asked Agha to
convey a message to Abbas and ask him to “hold on and be strong.” Tell
him, he told Agha, “that he should stay strong in his spirit and play
for time, that he will not break and will not yield to President
[Donald] Trump’s demands.”

According to Kerry, Trump will not remain in office for a long time. It
was reported that Kerry said that within a year there was a good chance
that Trump would not be in the White House.

Were these millions calculated by somebody as bad at arithmetic as

Are you trying to claim that the soft touch US has not every year
been giving aid to the ungrateful Palestinians?

"PA claims it got no US aid in 2016. In fact, State Dept. gave
Palestinians $357 million. And that’s not all
Palestinian PM last week accused the US of failing to come through with
a single dollar of a promised $263 million. The American government
actually gives more aid than any other country

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah claimed last week
that his government has received no aid from Washington in 2016,
accusing the US of imposing a “financial siege” on the Palestinians. But
the State Department has in fact provided Ramallah with over $357
million in financial assistance in the past year, according to
information given to The Times of Israel by a US State Department
official on Thursday.

Additionally, in 2016 alone, the US contributed $355,177,827 to the
United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNWRA),
of which $95 million was earmarked for the West Bank and Gaza. UNWRA
also operates Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

In total, therefore, the US gave around $712 million in aid to
Palestinians in 2016, and is the world’s largest supplier of such aid."

I'm pointing out that it isn't 75 years since 1967,

If a simple error like that is presented as fact how can anyone
believe in the accuracy of any other parts of what what was presented.
