Palestinians condemn Trump's aid 'blackmail'

HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
Palestinians have condemned US President Donald Trump's threat to withhold future aid payments over what he called the Palestinians' unwillingness to talk peace with Israel as blackmail.


Mr Trump drew praise from a cabinet minister in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing government but a warning from a former Israeli peace negotiator of the dangers in cutting off financial assistance to the Palestinians.

On Twitter yesterday, Mr Trump said that Washington gives Palestinians "HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect. They don't even want to negotiate a long overdue peace treaty with Israel ... with the Palestinians no longer willing to talk peace, why should we make any of these massive future payments to them?"

Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization's executive committee, said in response: "We will not be blackmailed."

  1. Le minacce del presidente americano Donald Trump sul taglio dei fondi alle Nazioni Unite per il sostegno dei profughi palestinesi e l'organizzazione del lavoro sono "un ricatto politico da quattro soldi".
    Lo ha dichiarato il portavoce di Hamas Fawzi Barchum. In precedenza Trump su Twitter ha scritto che la Palestina non è interessata ai negoziati di pace con Israele, a questo ha collegato lo stanziamento di "centinaia di milioni di dollari all'anno".

    Secondo il portavoce, queste minacce riflettono "il comportamento barbaro e immorale nei confronti della giustizia e dei diritti del popolo palestinese".
