The Palestinian president on Wednesday expressed hope that President-elect Donald Trump will support the Palestinian quest for independence Authentic Zach Cunningham Jersey , saying little is known about the incoming American leader's policies.
In a sprawling speech that lasted well over three hours to his Fatah Party, President Mahmoud Abbas said he hopes that 2017 will be the year that the Palestinians finally gain independence and that he would seek Trump's help in achieving that goal.
""We know nothing about him,"" Abbas said. ""His people elected him. We didn't, and if he wants to talk with us, we are pursuing that.""
Trump has said he would like to broker a Mideast peace deal, but he has given few details on how he hopes to do so. He has raised concerns among Palestinians because many of his advisers take hard-line positions that favor Israel, and his campaign platform made no mention of Palestinian independence — a U.S. position for the past two decades.
""We hope that he will be able to offer something to the Palestinian cause Authentic Deshaun Watson Jersey , to offer a solution, a sane, balanced and fair (solution),"" Abbas said.
While President Barack Obama strongly advocated the need for a Palestinian state, he made little headway during his tenure. Two rounds of peace talks quickly collapsed without progress, leaving the Palestinians bitter and frustrated.
Abbas has used this week's Fatah conference to cement his rule. On Tuesday, the 81-year-old was elected unanimously to a new five-year term as leader of the party Authentic Whitney Mercilus Jersey , which has largely dominated Palestinian politics for five decades.
Laying out his program, Abbas repeated his longstanding demand that a Palestinian state be established in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem — areas captured by Israel in 1967.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while saying he supports Palestinian independence, rejects a return to Israel's pre-1967 boundaries.
Abbas also rejected Netanyahu's key demand that he recognize Israel as the Jewish nation state. The Palestinians say that they have already recognized Israel's right to exist, and that Netanyahu's demand would undermine the status of Israel's Arab minority and the rights of Palestinian refugees.
In other comments that could irk Israel, Abbas praised a series of ""martyrs"" killed in fighting with Israel over the years Authentic Johnathan Joseph Jersey , including Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the spiritual leader of the Islamic military Hamas group.
He also rejected the idea of an interim agreement, giving Palestinians independence while final border arrangements are made.
At one point, Abbas threatened to withdraw his recognition of Israel, but he gave no details on how he would do so. Abbas, who leads an autonomy government in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, frequently threatens to cut ties Authentic Jadeveon Clowney Jersey , but he has never taken firm action.
In his speech, Abbas paid homage to the late Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who was famous for hours-long speeches, as well as the late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez and the Saudi King Abdullah, who died last year. He promised to dedicate roads and public squares to the three men.

Weight-loss myth busters Health Articles | July 19, 2012Manuel Villacorta, author of Eating Free: The Carb-Friendly Approach to Lose Inches Authentic Lamar Miller Jersey , Embrace Your Hunger and Keep the Weight Off for Good, thinks the prevailing wisdom on weight loss
聽- low calories, no carbs, high-intensity exercise - sets dieters up for failure. Villacorta, a registered dietitian with a weight-loss practice in San Francisco, offers a new way of looking at eating.
"Not only are we sorely overweight as a nation, but we are also sorely misinformed Authentic DeAndre Hopkins Jersey ," he says. "Most of the methods touted for weight loss in recent years are based on denial and personal hardship - something contrary to everything the science of nutrition tells us (and contrary to our very human nature). We need to eat. We want to eat. We should eat. And yet, everything in our culture tells us eating is like a dirty secret, a guilty pleasure that tempts us day in and day out."
GM Diet
Villacorta has done research on a little-known hormone, ghrelin, which controls hunger, drives appetite and works to manage metabolism and the ability to burn fat. To keep ghrelin and its power to provoke cravings in check, he advocates eating (beginning with breakfast) within an hour after waking and then every three to four hours. He also advocates getting enough sleep (six to eight hours a night) and welcoming carbs Authentic J.J. Watt Jersey , a nutrient that is needed to control ghrelin spikes.
Negative Calorie
He's had an 84 per cent success rate among his clients by encouraging them to eat 45 per cent carbs, 30 per cent protein and 25 per cent fat, and to watch聽portion聽sizes.

During the talks with Abe Authentic Keke Coutee Jersey , Moon said the Korean Peninsula issues should eventually be resolved through negotiations in a peaceful, diplomatic way, reiterating his stance shown in his previous dialogue with Trump.
Moon said South Korea, Japan and the United States should discuss strategic measures to encourage the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to come to a dialogue table for the complete dismantlement of its nuclear program.
Abe said in response that finally having dialogue would be natural to resolve the issues, but he noted that it would currently be necessary to put pressure on the DPRK to ma.
