Trump’s Mideast Plan "Final US Rubber Stamp" For Israeli Rule Over Palestine
The White House on Tuesday will reveal US President Donald Trump's so-called "deal of the century" for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The plan has been repeatedly refuted by Palestinian leaders due to Trump’s pro-Israel bias, Miko Peled, author of “The General’s Son: A Journey of an Israeli in Palestine,” told Sputnik. “This whole hype over this ‘deal of the century,’ which is not a deal for anybody, is basically giving the final rubber stamp, a US rubber stamp, for Israel to go ahead and control all of Palestine and take all of the West Bank, or as much as it wants, and place Israeli sovereignty or recognize Israeli sovereignty on parts of the West Bank that have not yet been officially become part of Israeli sovereignty,” Peled, who is also the author of "Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five,” told Loud & Clear host Brian Becker on Monday. “Palestinians have rightly said that they will have nothing to do with this,” Peled said. Palestinians are rightfully skeptical of Washington’s mediator veneer. The Trump administration in late 2017 recognized Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state, a claim by Israel that is in violation of international law. In addition, Trump’s so-called peace plan is expected to allow Israeli annexation of large chunks of the occupied West Bank. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also repeatedly promised to annex the Jordan Valley if re-elected in the March 2020 Israeli elections. “All Palestine has been under Israeli control, colonized, settled by Israeli Jews. This is just adding another stamp of approval to kind of the final step, if you will. But the reality doesn’t change. We have 7 million Palestinians living in historic Palestine, what is now Israel, who have no rights. Depending on where they live precisely, their rights vary, but they basically have no rights, no access to resources; they are being killed and arrested and forced into exile every single day. Their lands are being confiscated, and again, there’s 5 million Palestinians living in refugee camps banned from returning … We can see that even the King of Jordan [Abdullah II] is saying that Jordan stands in opposition to this,” Peled added. On Monday, Trump met separately with both Netanyahu and his rival, Blue and White coalition leader Benny Gantz, in the White House ahead of the deal’s reveal. That same day, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh vehemently expressed his rejection of the deal. "We reject it, and we demand the international community not be a partner to it, because it contradicts the basics of international law and inalienable Palestinian rights," Shtayyeh said, Al-Jazeera reported. "It is nothing but a plan to finish off the Palestinian cause,” he added.
