As Israel gears up for the visit of US President Joe Biden, Iran’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that “the entry of foreigners in the region…will not create security and stability but itself is the main cause of tension and regional rift.” While Iran was most likely referring to a potential peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, on today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh argues that when it comes to Israel and the PA, any outside intervention over the years has just made things worse. Whether it was the Oslo Accords, or other agreements in which Israel offered concessions to the PA (with pressure from outside parties), Israel ended up paying the price in blood. Josh says that Israel must stand firm and learn from past mistakes, and refuse concessions to the PA, which continues to offer “pay for slay,” and carries out daily incitement against the Jewish State.

On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh discusses reports indicating that a group of moderate democrats in the US are preparing to tell President Joe Biden to refrain from opening a consulate to the Palestinian Authority in Jerusalem. A group of 35 Republican senators have already drafted a bill to prevent the move, which if comes to fruition, would give a hostile foreign entity (the PA) a foothold in the city, and be the first step in its redivision. The Sovereignty Movement and other organizations held their first protest against the move this past week outside the old US Consulate on Agron Street in downtown Jerusalem, and plan on hosting a weekly vigil at the site.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz met with PA head Mahmoud Abbas last night, which represents the first high ranking and face to face meeting between Israel and the PA in a decade. On today’s Israel Uncensored with Josh Hasten, Josh says that the gathering, on the heels of Friday’s meeting between Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and US President Joe Biden in Washington, is disturbing. Despite the fact that the PA continues to pay terrorists and their families for the murder of Israelis though their “pay for slay” program, it seems that Israel is once again trying to legitimize and bolster the PA, which has been a failed policy since the Oslo Accords in the mid-1990’s.
