Earlier this Spring, the Trump Administration, under the leadership of the President’s Son-in –Law Jered Kushner, released its comprehensive “Peace Plan” for Israel/Palestine. However, the United Nations not the United States, is the international body that legally partitioned the Land of Palestine & determined the original parameters of the two potential states -“Israel” &” Palestine.” The United States, despite its clear bias in favor of the Israelis, - providing more than eight million dollars a day (3 Billion $ a year) to Israel in “foreign aid” and recently cutting its much smaller support for the Palestinian government, has pushed the UN aside and taken over the role of the U.N. as the sole “peace . broker” between these two peoples. Clearly, the US. favoritism of Israel has made it a highly prejudiced and unfair “peace broker”: between these two peoples.
The recent Trump Administration’s “Peace Plan” has been totally rejected by the Palestinian government and is widely regarded by the international community as “unfair and unjust.”
This in not surprising since the current US Administration has ignored & violated nearly all previously negotiated peace agreements between Israel and Palestine including the Oslo Accords, signed on the US White House lawn under President Clinton in 1993 which created a temporary peace agreement that was to evolve into a “Two State” solution giving the Palestinians nearly all of the “West Bank” territory.
The Trump “Peace Plan” gives nearly all of the Jordan Valley – the largest part of the Palestinian West Bank – to the state of Israel plus all of the city of Jerusalem which was to be divided between the two states - East Jerusalem & West Jerusalem. In addition, all of the currently illegal exclusively Jewish “Settlement Cities” in the Palestinian West Bank are to be annexed to the state of Israel.
In short, the Trump “Peace Plan” has been declared in a report from the Holy Land Christian Foundation, “unfair, unjust and deceptive. “
