Donald Trump to meet press on 11 January over conflict of interests! -Dr. Abdul Ruff
World has been looking for the news about real policies
of newly elected US President Donald Trump to have an idea about what kind of
presidency he would prefer to install- particularly if he would make nay
departure from the usual US foreign policy matters with regards to Russia and
Palestine or he would also continue the Neocon ideas of regimes everywhere by
terror wars to make entire world to promote US agenda for the world.
Already, Trump has revealed his conflictual mindset by
making contradictory statements, especially its readiness to promote the
Zionist criminal regime in Mideast b7 continuing to shield the crimes being
perpetrated by Israeli military and police against humanity y in Palestine.
Whether he would let his Jewish son in law to decide the Mideast policy as per
the will of Israel remains to be seen. His policy statement would make the
matter somewhat clear to the world.
Precedent has seen American presidents-elect field
numerous press conferences during the transition to power to discuss matters
such as their choices to fill their cabinet and policy plans for the incoming
administration. The methods of the new president communicating news about the
transition have been unorthodox for an incoming head of state.
President elect Donald Trump has largely snubbed thus far
the tradition that the presidential news conference has become. Instead Trump
has relied largely on rallies, photo ops, select interviews and — in
unprecedented fashion — on tweets.
Trump, elected in November, has not held a press
conference since July, and his announcement gave just the latest date set for
the much-delayed event previously due to take place 15 December.
In a tweet, Trump said he will hold a press conference on
11 January, during which he has previously indicated he would unveil his
governance plans in order to avoid any conflict of interest between the White
House and his business dealings.
Economic announcements of this magnitude are rare and
generally take place through a news release or a carefully planned press
conference, requiring the efforts of many public relations experts who
carefully consider every word and gesture. Last month, he unexpectedly
announced to reporters camped in the lobby of his Manhattan Trump Tower
skyscraper that Masayoshi Son — the flamboyant head of Japanese telecoms giant
SoftBank and a self-made billionaire — had announced a $50 billion investment
in the US that would create 50,000 jobs. Steven Mnuchin, tapped to become
Secretary of Treasury, and Wilbur Ross, the commerce pick, announced on CNBC
television that they had been appointed to their Cabinet positions by Trump.
The official announcement was published several hours later.
Trump voiced new doubts that Russian hackers attempted to
influence the US election on his behalf, accusing Democrats of lax security and
saying WikiLeaks had denied Moscow was behind the documents it made public.
Trump, in a spate of notes on Twitter, continued to raise questions about the
findings by US intelligence agencies that Russia was behind a series of leaks
that embarrassed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign ahead of the
Nov. 8 vote. Documents stolen from the Democratic National Committee and John
Podesta, Clinton's campaign manager, were leaked to the media in advance of the
election. One email showed the Clinton campaign received a question in advance
of a town hall forum.
Trump, who will take office on Jan. 20, is scheduled to
receive a briefing from intelligence officials on the hacking issue on Friday.
He has suggested the briefing was postponed to give intelligence officials more
time to build their case."The 'Intelligence' briefing on so-called
'Russian hacking' was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a
case. Very strange!" Trump tweeted on Tuesday.
Over years of occupational and expansionist brutalities
of the Zionist regime in Palestine have emboldened the Israeli soldiers
(heroes”) to kill any Palestinian anywhere at will because they know the
Israeli government would call the state crimes like this as heroism.
Meanwhile, a Jewish soldier , another "Our
hero!" , who shot dead a Palestinian lying wounded and motionless on the
ground in the occupied West Bank was surprisingly convicted of manslaughter on
January 04 Wednesday in one of the most polarising cases in Israel's history.
So far Israeli courts do not punish any Jew even if he or she commits heinous
crèmes against Palestinians.
The decision to court-martial Sergeant Elor Azaria, who
shot the Palestinian after he stabbed a Israeli soldier last March for routine
harrassment, stirred public controversy in Israel from the start, with
right-wing politicians calling after the verdict on President Reuven Rivlin to
pardon the 20-year-old defendant. As the decision was being read at a heavily
guarded military court in Tel Aviv, several hundred far-right core backers of
Azaria - one of them even carrying a Donald Trump "Make America Great
Again" banner – willingly clashed with police. Ten months ago, Azaria was
an army medic serving in the Israeli-occupied city of Hebron when two
Palestinians carried out the stabbing. Hebron has been a longtime flashpoint of
violence, and the incident occurred during a wave of Palestinian street attacks
on Israeli criminals. .
While one of the two Palestinians was shot dead by
troops, the other was shot and wounded. Eleven minutes later, as the wounded
man, Abd Elfatah Ashareef, 21, lay on the ground incapacitated, “hero” Azaria
shot him in the head with an assault rifle. At the trial, Azaria contended that
he believed the Palestinian, though motionless, still posed a danger because
his knife was nearby, and that he might have been carrying explosives. "He
deserves to die," Azaria was quoted in the verdict as telling another
soldier after pulling the trigger. The three-judge panel rejected Azaria's
argument."One cannot use this type of force, even if we're talking about
an enemy's life," the court said in its verdict. "We unanimously
convict the accused of manslaughter and of conduct unbecoming (a soldier)."Azaria,
who was smiling as he awaited the verdict as the chief judge read out the
conviction.
Video footage of the shooting, taken by a Palestinian
human rights activist, showed the knife was not within Ashareef's reach, and no
bomb was found. The video was distributed to news organisations, ensuring that
the incident drew international attention amid allegations by Palestinians and
rights groups that Israeli soldiers have been using excessive force against the
Palestinians they come across on daily basis.
The point is the Israeli military thinks Trump is going
to be on the side of Zionists to shield their crimes as his own and, as his
predecessors haves done, would naturally work against Palestinians.
Criminal minded politicians can only promote state
terrorism. Palestinians are being persecuted and perpetually terrorized by
Israel because it is being ruled by criminal minded Jewish leaders who enjoy
drinking Palestinian blood. Thus far, Washington whose terror goods Israel
employs in killing the Palestinians also indirectly enjoys that cruelly.
If Trump also decides to pursue a Zionist agenda that
would enable Israeli military rogues attack the besieged Palestinians as their
usual hobby, he would also be thrown into history as a big joker with blood
stained hands ably hidden in his suit pockets. Madam Hillary Clinton would have
done it with a smile on her face….
Will Trump put his signature on the Israeli fascist
regime’s crimes against the humanity?
Trump can end bloodshed in Palestine as well as entire
Mideast or help Israel complicate the saturation further. Does he also seek
disasters?
Choice is Trump’s
As the unusual president elect, Trump would do well by
pursuing a new set of policies abroad that would greatly benefit the shivering
humanity. Terror wars must end.
One hopes Trump won’t help the Israel further criminalize
Israeli military regime. Trump should recognize Palestine and ask Israel also
do the same for the sake of creating the necessary preconditions for the
natural establishment of Palestine and for peace in Mideast.
