WASHINGTON - The White House will unveil the first part of President Donald Trump’s long-awaited Israeli-Palestinian peace plan when it holds an international conference in Bahrain in late June to encourage investment in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, senior U.S. officials said on Sunday.
Trump has touted the coming plan as the “deal of the century,” but Palestinian officials have rebuked the U.S. effort, which they believe will be heavily biased in favor of Israel. The participants in the June 25-26 conference in Manama, the first phase of the peace plan’s rollout, are expected to include representatives and business executives from Europe, the Middle East and Asia, including some finance ministers, the administration official said.
The Palestinian Authority has boycotted the U.S. peace effort since late 2017 when Trump decided to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, reversing decades of U.S. policy. The senior U.S. official said the conference would show the people of Gaza, which is controlled by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, that “there are donor countries around the world willing to come in and make investments.”
Though the plan’s authors insist the exact contents are known only to a handful of insiders, Trump’s aides have disclosed it will address the major political issues such as the status of Jerusalem.Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki told a recent meeting at the United Nations attended by Greenblatt that the United States seemed to be crafting a plan for a Palestinian surrender to Israel and insisted “there’s no amount of money that can make it acceptable.
How do you invest in a people that are essentially walking targets for Israelis? I mean, besides mortuary services, murdered people just aren't profitable. 'Someone will take your order soon. sir. Unless Israel killed them. Then we'll have to ask you to pull around and park.'
realDonaldTrump is so fat in that pic.
Development is a natural outcome of PEACE and STABILITY. Israel and those that as the US have support, it’s impunity in all it’s attacks to Palestinians are responsible for the absence of progress and stagnation of Palestine.
Palestinians? Are you sure? You should recognize that Palestinians are the best of best friends of China. According to official media.🤣🤣
No one in this country has either worked.
there - found a better picture for you
I had to check the date. I thought it was 1st April!
With no two state solution offered to ensure Palestine has the right of self determination, this plan is dead on arrival. That makes sense though, as Jared Kushner was never going to be able to solve the problems related to Israel's illegal occupation.
Easy knowing there's an election on the horizon.
How will that work? Palestinians swore not to participate in any peace plan talks after Jerusalem was declared the capital of Israel.
