Summary of Today's News Jan 24 2022: Yoni Ben-Menachem

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

*** There is no consensus within the Fatah movement on the appointment of Hussein a-Sheikh as a member of the PLO Executive Committee. Fatah officials: The decision was passed by the Fatah Central Committee without a vote under the direction of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

Jabril Rajoub, Mahmoud El-Alul, Tawfiq Tirawi, Marwan Barghouti and Karim Yunis strongly oppose his appointment.

*** The beginning of a dangerous process, so it begins ....
The political rivalry between Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz and their meetings with senior PA officials could lead to the Oslo II agreement, the establishment of a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria and the division of Jerusalem.

Yair Lapid's meetings with senior PA officials indicate that he is not willing to abandon the political arena to Gantz and let him position himself as the "new Yitzhak Rabin." The meetings with PA officials have become part of the political rivalry between Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid. The Palestinians prefer Gantz.

*** Hamas spokesman 'Abd al-Latif al-Qa'an:
"Hussein a-Sheikh's meeting with Yair Lapid reflects the state of national deterioration reached by the PA.
"The continuation of these absurd meetings with the leaders of the occupation is a betrayal of the victims of our people, and these shameful meetings must end immediately and stop relying on the criminal occupation."

*** After the meeting with Yair Lapid, Hussein a-Sheikh:

Today, 500 names of additional Palestinian families will be announced who will receive identity cards and their status will be determined, following understandings between Defense Minister Bnei Gantz and Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen.

*** Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad a-Shtiya:
There are 6251 Palestinian women working in "Jewish settlements".


UKRAINE

*** Israel is preparing for the possibility of raising Ukrainian Jews in the event of a Russian invasion
Last night, a discussion was held with the participation of representatives from government ministries about the level of threat expected to the Jewish communities in Ukraine if war breaks out in the region. It is estimated that there are about 75,000 Jews living in eastern Ukraine who are entitled to immigrate to Israel under the Law of Return.

*** President Joe Biden will ask Qatar ruler Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani to visit the White House later this month to discuss the possibility of supplying gas to Europe, the Bloomberg agency reported.


GULF STATES - HOUTHI TERRORISTS

*** The Palestinians are repeating the mistake they made when they supported Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
They now support the Houthi militia in Yemen that is attacking Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. I would not be surprised if the Gulf states punished them for their ingratitude, betrayal and support for Shiite Iran against the Sunni states.

*** The Houthi rebels in Yemen are once again attacking the UAE
The UAE reported early in the morning that two missiles fired by the Houthi rebels in Yemen at Abu Dhabi were intercepted, with no casualties in the incident.

*** Anwar Garagash, the UAE president's political adviser, revealed that there was an "Arab consensus" on a draft resolution submitted by the Arab League during last night's meeting "classifying the Houthi group as a terrorist organization"

*** Mystery of the Houthi rebel leader in Yemen 'Abd al-Malek al-Khuti
Posters were circulated in the Gaza Strip that read that he was a "martyr."
Was he killed in one of the bombings of the Arab coalition in Yemen and his death was hidden or is it a mistake?
