Time for World to Recognize "State of Palestine"

Arab League Secretary General Ahmad Abu Al Gaith put it best when he said that US President Donald Trump decision to recognize occupied Jerusalem as Israel capital amounted to the legalization of occupation. Despite the fact that there had been prior warning Trump move when it came still sent shock waves around the region and the world. It simply killed the peace process. the best thing to come out of the emergency meeting held by Arab foreign ministers in Cairo in the early hours Sunday was the call to the international community to recognize the state of Palestine.It is about time. The fact that the worlds last colonial occupation has lasted so long, and only seems to be getting more entrenched with every passing year, is a blot on the conscience of the international community, The regime in Tel Aviv has, quite literally, got away with theft and murder, with limitless support from the world's only superpower. Trump's move has been almost universally criticism; there is is furor even in the US diplomatic community. How the president's move will help in attaining peace between the two sides is baffling while all past US administrations have taken a blindingly obvious pro Israel line in the peace process what is different this time is that by blatantly declaring occupied Jerusalem as Israel's capital, the US  has left the Palestinians with really nothing to talk about in a peace process sponsored by Washington itself. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas fury is understandable, given that he had believed Washington's promises on the "Peace process" even at a time when it seemed to be going nowhere. His refusal to meet US Vice President Mike Pence is a reflection of the betrayal Abbas feels. Trump move flies in the face of his country policy and UN resolutions, both of which have taken the line that the final status of occupied Jerusalem should be agreed through dialogue between the two parties. From the point of view of the broader Middle East . Trump actions have impacted America allies, and given a boost to extremists who have been suffering significant blows across the region.

they know exactly what it takes to be European Champion, and Ronaldo have the most prolific goal scorer in the competition  history.

Emilio Outrageous a real director and former strker, regretted that one of the favorites would be eliminated so soon in the competition. for the potential of the two teams, luck has worked out this way and one of the two teams will be out at the last 16 stage, which we think is abit soon taking into account they are two of the contenders for the title, Butragueno told bein sports spain PSG mad e waves in the transfer market in the close season when they signed Brazilian star Neymar fo a world record 222 million euro ($261.5 million), followed closely y great French hope Kylian Mbappe, who will cost 180m euros when his loan deal becomes permanent next summer. Every suumer they have signed great players, they get stronger all the time and they have had a nearly impeccable group stage, acknowledged Butragueno. with Neymar and Mbappe they have improved a lot up front, they are a very dangerous team who will demand the best of us we need to face both games like finals and for the fans it will be a thrilling tie. Mbappe and Neymar are very dangerous. We need to play at our best, but we can't forget this team has won the Chamions League twice, we hope to have all the injured players back and the key is who has the luck over two games. "Big Tie of the round" Butragueno added: of course it is the big tie of the round.

Bayern's director of sport Hasan Salihamidzic said the Germans would not be underestimating Besiktas, who should enjoy some raucous support from the city's Turkish community , We know how strong they are after we followed their games against Leipxig. It will be difficult task, but we are looking gorward to the unusual atmosphere in their stadium," he said. "One always says that it is a disadvantage to play at home in the first leg, which is right it certainly wont be an advantage but we are strong enoug to accept that and we will give our all. With a record five English clubs iin the draw, three time champions Manchester United face Sevilla and Liverpool, five time winner, will be up against tow time former champions Porto. Unfancied Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk will play Toma. First lege will be played on February 13/14 and 20/21, with second legs on March 6/7 adn 13/14 PTO.........
