Israeli journalist: Sisi would accept a Palestinian state in Sinai

[Tony_FLADEM]

An Israeli journalist has called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to exploit the readiness of Egyptian President Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi to concede Egyptian land in return for money to solve the conflict with the Palestinians, Arabi21 reported yesterday.

Haggai Segal, the editor of the Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon, wrote: “Al-Sisi’s concession of Tiran and Sanafir islands shows that Arabs do not revere the land. Al-Sisi conceded the two islands for money.”

The journalist, who is very close to Netanyahu, added: “Two years ago, Al-Sisi showed his willingness to accept the establishment of a Palestinian state in Sinai. This makes us expect reaching an agreement with Al-Sisi and the Palestinian Authority (PA) regarding this in return for a respectable sum of money.”

“We have to measure the idea of establishing a Palestinian state in Sinai based on the equation: land for shekels.”

Segal was a member of a terrorist Jewish organisation that planned to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque in the 1980s. He also carried out a number of explosions that killed and wounded scores of Palestinians, including heads of West Bank municipalities.

Two years ago, Israeli Army Radio revealed that Al-Sisi suggested the creation of a Palestinian state in Sinai in return for Palestinian concession of the West Bank.

1. anything

to get those pesky Palestinians out of Israel.....

[MADem]

2. A Palestinian state within the country of Egypt...? In essence....?

Because, if future Egyptian leaders wanted that land back, that's how it would go down. Those Filistines would become citizens of Egypt as quick as you could say Jack Robinson...or Abu Amir...!

Lot of Jordanians with Palestinian heritage living in Jordan...but when they travel, they travel on a passport issued by Abdullah's government.

I look askance at the reality of this proposal--after all, there are THREE players (at least) in this game--The Palestinians (and all their factions), the Israelis (and all THEIR factions) and the Egyptians (right now al-Sisi has a hand on the helm but that could easily change).

3. god bless Al-Sisi; he's the new Sadat, risking his neck for peace

I hope the Palestinians take it.

4. Holy Moses !!!!

Haggai Segal and the Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon !!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Tony_FLADEM ...it would be hard to find anyone more religious Right wing than either .

NARRATOR: For years, the Israelis have paid the price of living a life of no war and no peace.

Bomb threats and acts of terror have become a part of the Israeli reality.

There has always been Arab terror in the Israeli street. But then some thing new happened, terror was taken into the Arab street. Arabs were maimed and killed and bombed by Jews and a new term began to appear -- Jewish terrorist, and a Jewish underground.

Hagai Segal was part of the Jewish underground. He had planted a bomb in the car of the Arab mayor of Ramallah, who lost his leg in the explosion. Segal was sentenced to three years in jail. He got out after two, in May 1986.

HAGAI SEGAL, Member, Jewish Underground: As I said in the trial, I am at peace with what I've done. A few of our friends said they were sorry. I was not one of them. I feel that the people who are hurt deserved what they got.

It was in 1980, the security situation on the roads here was at its worst. Everyone of our trips was accompanied by stones thrown at us, and hand grenades. And it ended with the murder of six men in Hebron. That's when I decided that something had to be done. Some people came to me saying there was a plan for reprisal, will I join? I said yes. Then we did some intelligence work in the field, and then we planted the bombs.

NARRATOR: He doesn't see himself as a terrorist.

HAGAI SEGAL: I see myself as someone who is fighting for his home, his children. If that's the definition of a terrorist, then I am one. If not, then I'm not.

Interviewer: Were you horrified when you heard about what happened?

Hagai Segal's Mother: If you mean by horrified that suddenly my son is in prison, maybe that fact horrified me, but the reason for it not at all. I felt that that was the natural conclusion of the education that he's received since he's received since he was born, one can say.

Interviewer: Namely. . .

Hagai Segal's Mother: Namely that uh, we've always understood that this country belongs entirely to us, and if we can't get it in peaceful ways we have to get it in other ways.

Interviewer: Were you proud of him?

Hagai Segal's Mother: I was proud of him, definitely, there wasn't one single second -- from the time I heard until this minute -- that I wasn't proud of him.
