Israel Has 'Declared War' on Palestinians With New Law on Jerusalem, Mahmoud Abbas Said
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has accused Israel of “declaring war” on Palestinian people after its parliament approved a law that would make it harder to divide Jerusalem.
The amendment, which passed on Tuesday, requires a supermajority in order to cede control over any part of the Middle Eastern city. It means Israel’s government would need the approval of at least 80 of the legislature’s 120 members in order to give up any power.
Sixty-four Knesset members voted in favor of the bill, backed by Israel’s ruling right-wing coalition, while 52 voted against, according to Israel's newspaper Haaretz.
The law would further complicate the possible division of the city in any future peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians. The amendment on the division of Jerusalem can be overturned with a simple majority vote, which makes the new law largely symbolic. However, Abbas said the new legislation is “tantamount to declaring war on the Palestinian people.”

“This vote clearly indicates that the Israeli side has officially declared the end of the so-called political process and has already begun to impose dictatorial and de facto policies,” Abbas’s office said in a statement.
Hamas Spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum lambasted Knesset's decision to approve the law, adding that "[it is] a continuation of a series of assaults on the holy city, a targeting of the Palestinian presence and a falsification of history," according to The Jerusalem Post. The Palestine Liberation Organization announced that it will reconvene one of its top entities, the PLO Central Council, on January 14 to address the future of Israeli-Palestinian relations and other matters, the publication cited.
President Donald Trump stoked tensions last month after acknowledging Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, parting with decades of U.S. policy maintaining that the city’s status should be defined in peace negotiations. The move prompted widespread outrage, with protests breaking out around the world, including in the occupied Palestinian territories.
In a non-binding resolution, however, the United Nations General Assembly deemed Trump's declaration "null and void." In December, Trump threatened to ax financial aid to countries that voted in favor of the measure, and U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley announced a $285 million cut for the organization's biennial budget during the 2018-2019 fiscal year.
Israel has claimed all of Jerusalem as its capital, while Palestinians want control of east Jerusalem, a part of the city that was captured in the 1967 war.

Veteran reunited with missing dog in Christmas miracle: ‘I am overwhelmed with gratitude’
Veteran reunited with missing dog in Christmas miracle: ‘I am overwhelmed with gratitude’
An Army vet who was so heartsick over his missing dog that he didn’t eat for three days has been reunited with the pup in what’s being called a “Christmas miracle.”
Geoff Hoffman, a Jones, Okla.-based vet, discovered that his 3-year-old pit bull, Bridget, was missing after his home was burglarized on Dec. 20. That night, Hoffman penned a passionate plea to his Facebook followers to help him find the dog who he adopted two years ago.
“She is loved beyond definition,” he captioned Facebook photos of the grey-and-white dog wearing a Little Red Riding Hood costume and cruising in a Target shopping cart. “She is my ever-adventurous sidekick and my eternal source of joy. She is missed beyond my ability to articulate.”
**Bridget was found! Go to #BringBridgetBack for all the details!**Hello friends, today 12/20/17 my house was broken…Posted by Geoff Hoffman on Wednesday, December 20, 2017
“I came home from work and noticed my gate and front door were open,” Hoffman, 38, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “My TV had been moved from the wall but nothing was taken, except Bridget. She comes everywhere with me, so it’s possible someone saw her and followed me home.”
After filing a police report, Hoffman, who served with the Special Ops Forces in Afghanistan for eight years went into military mode. “Sergeant Hoffman was back,” he says. “I was on a mission and told myself I would stop searching for Bridget under two conditions: She returned home or I knew with certainty that she was dead.”
During the four days Bridget went missing, Hoffman reached out to his local police and fire departments, along with City Hall, asking officials to share his story. He printed more than 100 cards featuring Bridget’s photo and advertising a “large reward” for her return and registered with missing dog websites. Hoffman also created a Facebook group with hundreds of followers, called Bring Bridget Back, in the hopes of spreading awareness for his search.
“I got messages from people in the Bahamas and England,” says Hoffman. “When I dropped off her photo at the Humane Society, a volunteer gasped and said, ‘Is this Bridget?’ The support was overwhelming.”
During Bridget’s absence, Hoffman said he was too busy and anxious to eat and his girlfriend barely slept. “Since she was awake, she would get in her car and drive all night looking for Bridget.”
Today I made over 100 cards to hand out to anyone I encounter; waiters, cashiers, random people on the street. Adorable picture on the front, stats on the back. #BringBridgetBackPosted by Bring Bridget Back on Saturday, December 23, 2017
On the morning of Christmas Eve, the search paid off. “My girlfriend was driving down a rural road, in below-freezing temperatures, a few miles from my house, when she saw Bridget and slammed on her brakes,” says Hoffman. “She was lying by the side of the road but when she saw my girlfriend, she started wagging her tail.”
Hoffman sped to the 24-hour vet clinic where Bridget was being examined. “I was hoping I wouldn’t get a speeding ticket,” he says.
While the dog was generally unharmed, she hadn’t eaten for days, she was dehydrated, and had blood in her stool, along with lacerations on her left leg, “It made me wonder whether someone stole her for dog fighting and either cut or tried to starve her to make her aggressive,” says Hoffman. “Bridget was also found wearing her distinctive pink, floral collar, and her leash, and my phone number was scratched off her tag — maybe the thief got spooked by all the media attention and dumped her on a random road.”
To pay for Bridget’s medical expenses, which entails ongoing rounds of antibiotics, the cost of office visits and more, a friend of Hoffman’s created a Go Fund Me account, which topped its $2,300 goal by $85 at the time of this writing. And Hoffman’s relieved followers have called the reunion a Christmas miracle and a holiday blessing.
Hoffman will use his experience to help other people find their missing pets, by maintaining Bridget’s Facebook page and sharing his search strategies, writing on his Facebook page, “I am overwhelmed with gratitude.”
He tells Yahoo Lifestyle, “The support I’ve gotten has been mindblowing.”

Dave Ramsey: Was that sour grapes.......
Dave Ramsey: Let him get the facts before giving advice and an attitude adjustment might be in order, as well.
Usually admire your tips on budgeting but one wonders why you instructed the young man last evening not to persue a career in Mechanical Engineering.
I do believe this is one field where more folks are needed and there are plenty of jobs available with a four year degree.
You indicated what kind of job would he actually do after he had said his dad was also in mechanical engineering.
I wonder if his dad could have told him what kind of jobs were available.
While it is common these days to say it might be better to go for a technical job...you suggested car mechanic...instead of going for a degree that does not have jobs readily available one would think he could easily pay off a student loan with this kind of career.
An education is so important to some people one would have to ask if you are just at a deficit in your vision or maybe sour grapes were involved.
Perhaps you should check out more facts prior to advising in this particular field. Your attitude towards the young man had a tone that was so offensive I had to look for other listening.
