LOTS of Behind-the-Scenes CONSPIRACIES Hatching!
The Covert Conspiracies WILL eventually become Overt!
Fatah & Hamas
are vying to come out on top in West Bank!
Fatah seeks Iranian financial help for the first time to Become
An Iranian satellite like Hamas that gets high support from Iran!
All the end time players are jockeying for position in a final conflict,
Iron and clay, Weak saying they are strong, All building up Weaponry,

Joel 3:9-17 – Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: [10] Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. [11] Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord. [12] Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. [13] Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. [14] Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. [15] The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. [16] The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength
of the children of Israel. [17] So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
Daniel 2:42-44 – And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong,
and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
[44] And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and
it shall stand for ever.

Begin Excerpt from DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
Covert Palestinian Authority-Iranian get-together in Caracas
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
May 1, 2009, 10:06 AM (GMT+02:00)
Authorative sources in the Venezuelan capital have told DEBKAfile that Monday, April 27, Iran’s foreign minister Mostafa Mohammed Najjar and intelligence chiefs secretly got together with visiting Palestinian Authority officials, led by Palestinian foreign minister Riyadh al-Maliki. The matchmakers were Hugo Chavez and the Qatar ruler Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa, following on the former’s visits to Tehran and Qatar in late March.
If true, this would signal a drastic policy turnabout by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas away from Cairo and over to the radical Tehran and Damascus. The Ramallah-Tehran opening, if confirmed, could help bury the hatchet between the warring Fatah and Hamas and pave the way for a Palestinian unity government governed by rejectionist ideology.
This would shut the door to future Palestinian negotiations with Israel’s Netanyahu administration.
Najjar’s visit to Caracas was formally presented as a move to strengthen “defense cooperation” between Iran and Venezuela.
“Iran pledges its full support to promote the Venezuelan military’s defense capabilities in the framework of mutual defensive agreements,” he said, Thursday, April 30, after calling on Chavez.
The Iranian visitor also met Venezuelan vice president and acting defense minister Ramon Carrizalez to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on military cooperation which encompassed “training and mutual exchange of military experiences”.
The large Iranian and Palestinian Authority delegations met under cover of celebrations marking Venezuela’s decision to sever its diplomatic ties with Israel and open a Palestinian embassy in Caracas instead.
Chavez is quoted as maintaining during his visits to Tehran and Doha that if US president Barack Obama is willing to talk to him, with Cuba and with Iran, there was no reason why Mahmoud Abbas should not engage Tehran directly.
This would help overcome his Fatah’s quarrel with Hamas, which Iran is actively supporting with arms, cash and military training.
Abbas is said to have welcomed the proposal when it was put to him by Sheikh Khalifa.
Caracas sources say the Iranian-Palestinian meeting lasted about four hours and ended with a decision to continue the encounters in Moscow, Doha and Ankara, where Iran and the Palestinians both maintain large diplomatic legations.

Hamas warns Abbas not to form new government alone
April 30, 2009
Khaled Abu Toameh , THE JERUSALEM POST
After failing to reach agreement with Hamas over the formation of a Palestinian unity government, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is planning to form a new government that would not include representatives of the Islamic movement, a PA official in Ramallah said Thursday.
In response, Hamas warned that such a move would be regarded as a “fatal blow” to Egyptian efforts to end the power struggle with Fatah.
Nabil Abu Rudaineh, a spokesman for Abbas, said that Abbas was expected to announce a new government soon. He did not give a date, but another PA official said the new government would most probably be established on the eve of Abbas’s visit to Washington, where he is expected to meet for the first time with US President Barack Obama.
“President Abbas still hasn’t begun negotiations over the formation of a new government,” Abu Rudaineh said.
“But he does plan to form a government with a broad coalition in the near future.”
Earlier this week, Fatah and Hamas representatives again failed to reach agreement over the formation of a joint government
and other issues concerning the status of the PLO, the Palestinian security forces and the political program of the proposed coalition.
Representatives of the two sides who met in Cairo at the request of Egyptian General Intelligence chief Omar Suleiman said the gap between them remained as wide as ever.
They said the most significant difference was over whether the unity government would recognize Israel’s right to exist and previous agreements signed between the Palestinians and Israelis.
According to a source close to Abbas, the PA president is expected to ask the current prime minister, Salaam Fayad, to head the new government that would exclude Hamas.
Fayad, who submitted his resignation several weeks ago, has since agreed to stay in office at Abbas’s request.
At least half of the ministers in the new government will be from Fatah, the source said, pointing out that both Abbas and Fayad have been strongly criticized for not including one Fatah representative in the current government.
Over the past few months, several Fatah officials have repeatedly threatened to boycott the Fayad government for ignoring them.
The name of chief PA negotiator Saeb Erekat has been mentioned as a leading candidate for foreign minister in the new government. Two top Fatah operatives, Hatem Abdel Qader and Qadoura Fares, are slated to join the new coalition, according to the source.
Abbas, meanwhile, is scheduled to visit a number of Arab capitals next week ahead
of his planned meeting with Obama in May.
Abbas is expected to brief the Arab heads of state on the failure of the “reconciliation” talks between Hamas and Fatah and share with them his concerns over the policies of the new Israeli government, Abu Rudaineh said.
Hamas legislator and spokesman Mushir al-Masri said his movement would not recognize or deal with any government that is established by Abbas without reaching agreement with Hamas.
“Any agreement that is formed in the West Bank – not in the frame of an agreement with Hamas – would be unconstitutional and illegitimate,” he said. “Such a move would not only consolidate divisions among the Palestinians, but it would also be seen as a coup against democracy.”
