Trump proposes Palestinian state with capital in eastern Jerusalem sabcnews

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday proposedwith a capital in eastern Jerusalem, dependent on Palestinians taking steps to become self-governing, in an effort to achieve a peace breakthrough in their decades of conflict with Israel.

“Today, Israel has taken a giant step toward peace,” Trump said as he announced the plan at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his side, saying he also sent a letter about it to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Israeli-Palestinian talks broke down in 2014, and it was far from clear that the Trump plan will resuscitate them.

The US plan represented the most dramatic and detailed attempt to break the historic deadlock between Israel and the Palestinians in several years, the result of a three-year effort by Trump senior advisers Jared Kushner and Avi Berkowitz and former adviser Jason Greenblatt. Before the Trump announcement, thousands of Palestinians demonstrated in Gaza City and Israeli troops reinforced positions near a flash point site between the Palestinian city of Ramallah and the Jewish settlement of Beit El in the West Bank.
