Donald Trump's Middle East peace plan will approve Israeli colonialism: Palestinian foreign minister
The Palestinian National Authority’s foreign minister predicted that President Donald Trump’s long-awaited Middle East peace plan would favor Israel and attempt to legitimize what he described as Israeli apartheid policies.
But the Trump administration's close relationship with Israel and languishing ties with the Palestinians have raised concerns that the peace deal—which Kushner said would call for compromise on both sides—would be designed to benefit Israel and subjugate the Palestinians. Dialogue between Washington and the Palestinians collapsed after Trump announced he would move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem—the disputed holy city claimed by Israel as its capital and by the Palestinians as the capital of a future independent state.
While offering near-unquestioning support of Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—a self-described nationalist who heads arguably the most right-wing government in the country's history—the Trump administration also cut tens of millions of dollars of funding for Palestinian security services and refugee organizations.
Al-Maliki warned that the U.S. peace plan “is in fact the consecration of our century-old ordeal: no independence, no sovereignty, no freedom and no justice.” He added that if the U.S. did “not think that this situation will have an impact on the future of Israel and the region one way or another, they are the ones that are delusional, and not us.”
