The U.S. Middle East Peace Plan?

The U.S. Middle East Peace Plan?



The U.S. Middle East Peace Plan?

  • No
    American or European on the face of this earth could force a
    Palestinian leader to sign a peace treaty with Israel that would be
    rejected by an overwhelming majority of his people.
  • Trump's
    "ultimate solution" may result in some Arab countries signing peace
    treaties with Israel. These countries anyway have no real conflict with
    Israel. Why should there not be peace between Israel and Kuwait? Why
    should there not be peace between Israel and Oman? Do any of the Arab
    countries have a territorial dispute with Israel? The only "problem" the
    Arab countries have with Israel is the one concerning the Palestinians.
  • The
    question remains: how will the Saudis and the rest of the international
    community respond to ongoing Palestinian rejectionism and
    intransigence?

Last
week, the Saudis unexpectedly summoned Palestinian Authority President
Mahmoud Abbas to Riyadh for talks on Trump's "ultimate solution" for the
Israeli-Arab conflict. Abbas was reportedly told that he had no choice
but to accept the plan or resign. Pictured: Abbas on a previous visit to

Who said that Palestinians have no respect for Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Arab countries? They do.
Palestinians
have respect for the money of their Arab brethren. The respect they
lack is for the heads of the Arab states, and the regimes and royal
families there.
It is important
to take this into consideration in light of the growing talk about
Saudi Arabia's effort to help the Trump Administration market a
comprehensive peace plan for the Middle East, the details of which
remain beguilingly mysterious.
Last
week, the Saudis unexpectedly summoned Palestinian Authority (PA)
President Mahmoud Abbas to Riyadh for talks on Trump's "ultimate
solution" for the Israeli-Arab conflict, reportedly being promoted by
Jared Kushner. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11353/middle-east-peace-plan
