Trump to Pressure Netanyahu on Israel-Palestine Peace Plan – Report
This is the first time Trump has talked about exerting pressure on the US’s Middle Eastern ally.
US President Donald Trump has reportedly told French President Emmanuel Macron that he is ready to put pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in order to facilitate the peace plan between Israel and Palestine, Israel's Channel 10 news correspondent Barak Ravid wrote on Axios.
Citing Western diplomatic sources briefed on the meeting between the two presidents during the UN General Assembly, Ravid reports that Macron asked Trump why he only pressures Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and not the Israeli leader as well.
As the two discussed the Israeli-Palestinian issue, Macron reportedly observed that Netanyahu is not interested in moving on with the peace plan because "he loves the status quo." Trump reportedly agreed on that observation.
However, Trump responded by saying that he put pressure on Palestinian side because they "don't want to talk to the US peace team," which he found unacceptable, but he is also willing to put pressure on Netanyahu when the moment comes, Ravid reports.
"I can be as tough with Bibi as I have been with the Palestinians," the diplomats quoted Trump as saying.
According to the sources, Trump noted that the US has given Israel a lot, including moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and providing a hefty sum of $5 billion in military aid every year. However, Ravid notes that the president exaggerated this figure, which in reality is only $3.8 billion.
This is the first time Trump has reportedly talked about putting pressure on Netanyahu, who is widely perceived to be one of Trump's closest allies.

PM Rules Out ‘Politicians’ Vote’ Second Referendum, But Talks Up Keeping Britain in EU Even Longer
Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May used a Commons statement Monday to reject outright calls for a second referendum on membership of the European Union, but said nevertheless extending the so-called transition period where the United Kingdom is still in the European Union in all but name could be “preferable”.
The statement came after a weekend of intensifying plotting in Westminster — both by the Prime Minister’s pro-Brexit Tory colleagues against her, and by pro-remain campaigners who, emboldened by a protest march on Saturday, have vowed “the most co-ordinated lobbying effort ever conducted on a piece of legislation.”
The march organisers have attempted to package the move to force Britain to vote again on whether it wants to leave the European Union again — having already voted against the wishes of the European Union in 2016 — as the ‘People’s Vote’. In an unusual moment of clarity Monday afternoon the Prime Minister dismissed the claim, stating that a second vote would be a “politicians’ vote”, not a people’s one, and ruled out the plan.
Acknowledging clearly that those calling for a second vote are only doing so out of a desire to stop Brexit from happening altogether, May told the Commons: “Serving our national interest will demand that we hold our nerve through these last stages of the negotiations – the hardest part of all.
“It will mean not giving in to those who want to stop Brexit with a politicians’ vote. Politicians telling the people they got it wrong the first time and should try again.”
Moving to reassure those Brexit rebels in her own party that are growing bolder in their moves to undermine and potentially remove the PM from post, May said the Brexit deal was now “95% done”, and that now was the time to “hold our nerve”.
More concerning for Brexiteers was May’s comments on the revelations last week that the so-called Brexit transition period could stretch further into the future than previously admitted, and would see Britain still obeying European Union laws, and paying billions more into the EU budget.
May said the transition would now have to be over before the next general election in 2022 — which would take the time between the Brexit vote to Britain actually leaving the European Union to nearly six years. She told the Commons: “…there are some limited circumstances in which it could be argued that an extension to the implementation period might be preferable, if we were certain it was only for a short time.
“For example, a short extension to the implementation period would mean only one set of changes for businesses – at the point we move to the future relationship. But in any such scenario we would have to be out of this implementation period well before the end of this parliament.”

Hurricane Donald Approaching
Everyone knows midterms historically belong to the party out of power. Not this year.
Anyone who has read my columns for the past few months knows there is no blue wave, or blue trickle, or even a blue puddle. There is however a Red Storm approaching.
I call it Hurricane Donald.
The GOP is about to turn history on its head. Why is this happening? Because of my popular primetime Newsmax TV show, I’m getting as many as one thousand emails per week from viewers- many of them have stumbled upon my TV show for the first time. Those emails are a great barometer of the Red Storm that is brewing.
First, what I can see and hear and feel is an amazing intensity and enthusiasm level among conservatives. It stems from Brett Kavanaugh and the unimaginable, vicious, malicious, slanderous way Democrats tried to destroy the life of a great gentleman.
But there is a bigger trend at play than conservative enthusiasm. A shockingly large portion of the letters I’m receiving are from married suburban mothers. This is proof positive the Kavanaugh hearings backfired in a big way on Democrats. I’m getting 20 emails a day from mothers saying “I’m a lifelong Catholic Democrat mother of two sons. After what Democrats did to Brett Kavanaugh, I’m never voting Democrat again.” If I’m getting 20 of these a day, this represents a gigantic sea change in American politics.
Two bits of news out in recent days backs up what I’m seeing and hearing. This news is much more accurate than polling. Midterm election voting is obviously always down dramatically from presidential election years. As expected, early voting Democrat vote totals are lower than 2016. But not Republican vote totals. In four states where early voting information is available- Arizona, Florida, Ohio and Iowa- Republican early voting EXCEEDS the 2016 presidential year!
Because of this the GOP is ahead by a large margin in the early voting in those states- the exact opposite of what traditionally happens.
One more bit of solid evidence. Over 12,000 Wyoming voters have changed party affiliation in recent weeks. 90% of them changed from Democrat or independent to Republican. These are unheard of numbers.
Then “There’s the economy, stupid.“ Common sense tells us Americans always vote based on jobs and food on their table.
In just the past few days we found out the following:
*The USA is once again- for the first time in a decade- the world’s most competitive economy.
*CNBC’s All-American survey shows soaring economic optimism- the highest in history.
*The University of Michigan consumer survey shows confidence in the government’s economic policies is now the highest in fifteen years.
*New economic numbers should push the optimism even higher. U.S. job openings are now the highest in history with 7.136 million jobs available. More importantly, August was the fifth consecutive month with more job vacancies than unemployed workers.
*Manufacturing continues to boom with 488,000 job openings in August, dramatically up from the Obama years.
What we’re seeing at Trump rallies is no fluke or coincidence. In little Missoula, Montana on Thursday, thousands lined up for an entire day, in freezing temperatures, to see President Trump. A veteran journalist called it, “jaw-dropping.”
This is called a phenomenon. Nothing like this has ever been seen in US political history. The last person to draw crowds like this in small rural towns was Billy Graham with a Christian revival a half century again.
Throw in one more key achievement liberals never noticed. Trump got Christian Pastor Andrew Brunson released from a Turkish prison- without paying a cent in ransom. The mainstream media barely mentioned it. But millions of evangelical Christians noticed. Trump has become a legend and hero to these forgotten, salt-of-the-earth Americans. I predict you’ll hear from them on November 6th.
A Red Storm is coming. Call it Hurricane Donald. With an assist to Brett Kavanaugh.

Turkey Says Saudi Arabia Planned "Extremely Savage" Khashoggi Killing
Prior to Monday, official leaks to Western and Turkish media regarding the ongoing investigation into the murder of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi have only obliquely placed the blame on the Crown Prince and other senior Saudi officials, as President Erdogan has erred on the side of diplomacy - though that could all change tomorrow, when Erdogan has promised to share the results of Turkey's investigation into the killing of Khashoggi, presumably including what role, if any, that Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman had in the plot.
And in a sign that the Turks might soon abandon their diplomatic facade, the latest round of leaks to Turkish media have suggested that the murder of Khashoggi "was planned in an extremely savage manner." For those who haven't closely parsed every update published by the Turkish press, this is the first time that Turkey has indicated that Ankara believes that Khashoggi's murder was planned in advance.
And in the first official indication that Turkey believes Riyadh actively orchestrated a cover-up, AKP Spokesman Omer Celik complained that "we are faced witha situation where there has been a lot of effort to whitewash this." Erdogan's advisor Yasin Aktay wrote in the Yeni Safak daily that it "feels like our intelligence is being mocked."
With Turkey seemingly on the verge of officially blaming Riyadh and MbS for Khashoggi's death, the following warning sounded even more ominous.
"From the start, the line of our president has been clear. Nothing will remain secret in this case," presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin told reporters, a day ahead of a key speech by Erdogan on the case.
Safak pointed out that Saudi security official Maher Abdulaziz Mutreb had lead a team of 15 Saudis to Istanbul on the day that Khashoggi disappeared and that he called the head of Prince Mohammed's office, Bader al-Asaker, "four times after the murder."
Meanwhile, Abdulkadir Selvi, whose columns in the Hurriyet newspaper columns are closely watched for clues about Erdogan's thinking, alleged that Khashoggi had been slowly strangled to death for eight minutes inside the consulate before a Saudi autopsy specialist cut his body into 15 pieces while listening to music. In the most forthright criticism levied at MbS by a Turkish official since the diplomatic crisis exploded into public view two weeks ago, Selvi called for MbS to be "removed from his post"
"We cannot close this file until the crown prince is brought to account and removed from his post. For 50 years we cannot live with a crown prince who is an enemy of Turkey," said Selvi.
Meanwhile, Khashoggi's remains have yet to be found, though Turkish investigators are said to be conducting a thorough search. But regardless of what they find, the tonal shift represented by these editorials is difficult to ignore. The Turkish stance toward Saudi Arabia is hardening, which suggests that Erdogan may be preparing to blow up the Saudis' alibi that Khashoggi's death was the result of an "interrogation gone wrong."
