Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - Arabic
اللقاء المقرر اليوم بين الرئيس محمود عباس والرئيس الاميركي باراك اوباما لبحث تطورات المفاوضات والعقبات التي تعترض التوصل الى اتفاق اطار يشكل علامة فارقة في مستقبل عملية السلام بعد ان وصلت المفاوضات الى طريق مسدود بفعل المواقف المتعنتة للحكومة الاسرائيلية في مختلف القضايا الجوهرية للحل الدائم عدا عن الشروط الاسرائيلية الهادفة الى الانتقاص من حقوق الشعب الفلسطيني من جهة وسد الطريق أمام تقدم جهود السلام من الجهه الأخرى إضافة الى مختلف الممارسات الاسرائيلية على الأرض وفي مقدمتها الاستيطان ومواصلة تنفيذ مخططات تهويد القدس وحصار غزة وحملات الدهم والاعتقال والقتل.... الخ من الممارسات التي تشكل بحد ذاتها انتهاكات فظة للقانون الدولي وتأكيد على عدم رغبة الجانب الاسرائيلي في التوصل الى حل دائم وعادل للقضية الفلسطينية.a
Translation - English
The meeting scheduled today between President Mahmoud Abbas and U.S. President Barack Obama, to discuss developments in negotiations and obstacles to reaching a framework agreement, is a milestone in the future of the peace process after negotiations reached an impasse due to the uncompromising positions of the Israeli government in the various core issues for a permanent solution. This is besides the Israeli provisions aimed at the erosion of the rights of the Palestinian people, on the one hand, and blocking the path of advancement of peace efforts, on the other, in addition to the various Israeli practices on the ground, particularly settlement, the further implementation of the Judaization of Jerusalem, the Gaza blockade, raids, arrests and killings etc. - practices which in themselves constitute gross violations of international law and emphasize the unwillingness of the Israeli side to reach a just and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue.

Bio

I am a full-time professional certified freelance translator with specialist knowledge and experience in Islamic Finance
and Legal Translation. English is my native language.

I can translate all types of Arabic contracts, legislation, court judgments etc. into clear, precise, legally correct English. 

If you have an Arabic religious book or thesis, I can help you with the proper English rendition thereof.  

If you want your corporate communication, newsletter or website to have flawless and easy-to-read English, please let me show you what I can do. 


I graduated with a qualification in Islamic Studies, Arabic and Shariah in 2000 and have been translating, researching and teaching since. I also have a BA Hons (Cum Laude) in Semitic Languages and Cultures from the University of Johannesburg.
