Abbas rejects Trump's peace plan for resolving Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Abbas rejects Trump's peace plan
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday reiterated that the Palestinians reject US President Donald Trump's upcoming peace plan for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.


Addressing the opening session of the four-day meeting of the Palestinian National Council (PNC), the parliament in exile of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Abbas said that the Palestinians believe that the US cannot be a peace sponsor of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process due to its biased pro-Israeli position.

The PNC meeting, the first since 2009, was convened to discuss the strained ties with Israel and the US following Trump's decision to recognize the disputed holy city of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, as well as the internal Palestinian reconciliation between Abbas's Fatah party and the Islamic Hamas movement that has controlled Gaza Strip since 2007.

Trump is formulating a new peace plan for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict following his Jerusalem decision and his order to relocate the US embassy in Israel from Tel Avivi to Jerusalem in May.

Abbas, also chairman of PLO executive committee, denounced the upcoming Trump's plan as "an end to the peace process in the Middle East."

Abbas reiterated that there will be no peace between Israel and the Palestinians without Jerusalem as capital of the future Palestinian state.

He added that "there will be no Palestinian state without the Gaza Strip and there will be no state in Gaza only."

  1. Los palestinos deberían aceptar las propuestas de paz que se les ofrecen en este momento o "callarse" y "dejar de quejarse", habría aseverado el príncipe heredero de Arabia Saudita, Mohamed Bin Salmán. El comentario fue supuestamente realizado durante una reunión a puertas cerradas con jefes de organizaciones judías en Nueva York, el 27 de marzo, según escribió para el portal Axios Barak Ravid, corresponsal diplomático de Channel 10 de Israel.

    Tras citar un cable diplomático israelí, así como dos fuentes informadas sobre la reunión, Ravid señaló que el príncipe fue inusualmente directo al hablar sobre la causa palestina.

    "En las últimas décadas, el liderazgo palestino ha perdido una oportunidad tras otra y rechazó todas las propuestas de paz que se le dieron", afirmó Mohamed Bin Salmán. "Ya es hora de que los palestinos tomen las propuestas y acuerden llegar a la mesa de negociaciones, o que se callen y dejen de quejarse".
