Shock, anger, and most of all, a severe disappointment in Ramallah from the position of most moderate Arab countries in light of the details of the century plan, as presented by President Trump in the White House yesterday.

At a meeting yesterday, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah executives said: "A representative stands in line with this plot. Our message to the US and Israel is that their plot will not succeed." A Palestinian official who attended the meeting with Abu Mazen told Israel Today, "Rais looks disappointed and mostly discouraged by the reactions of Arab states. He realizes he's left alone in the campaign. "

Although the Kingdom of Jordan has expressed its protest against the Trump plan, and its foreign minister has even warned of the "dangerous consequences of unilateral measures by Israel" - the Palestinian official makes clear: And King Abdullah will not be able to refuse billions to be flown to Jordan, whatever the deal details of Jordan's special position in the Holy Basin and the Temple Mount will be preserved and not damaged. It is clear to us that the King will not be the one to stop the century deal. "
It should also be noted that Saudi King Salman spoke with Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas and informed him that "Saudi Arabia's position on the Palestinian issue has not changed" and that Saudi Arabia "maintains Palestinian rights".

Egypt called on both sides to "study the peace plan and open a dialogue to resume American-sponsored negotiations." The UAE ambassador to Washington said his country "appreciates the ongoing efforts by the United States to achieve a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, and believes that the parties can achieve lasting peace and genuine coexistence with the support of the international community."

Apart from the weak reactions in the Sunni Arab states, Ramallah responded to the presence of Oman, Bahrain and UAE ambassadors at a ceremony in Washington and India: "We fell asleep at guarding. We were surprised by the presence of Arab ambassadors at the ceremony. We only knew that Bahrain's representative was coming."
Meanwhile, a senior Palestinian security official said yesterday in a conversation with Israel Today that "the cessation of security coordination with Israel has not been finalized despite the statements made."

Last night, it was reported in News 12 that Abu Mazen sent a letter to Netanyahu claiming that the authority considers itself free to renounce all agreements, including security coordination, now regardless of what steps Israel will take. But according to the Palestinian official who spoke with "Israel Today", "The interest in maintaining security coordination and continued cooperation between the Palestinian security and intelligence agencies is Israel's first and foremost Palestinian national interest and even more important to us than the Israeli security system sees in our security coordination."

He emphasized that "the directive we received is to prevent any use of firearms against Israeli soldiers and civilians, as well as to prevent the demonstrators from confronting the soldiers, with the aim of maintaining the security of the Palestinian demonstrators."

Another Palestinian security official stressed: "The security and intelligence agencies will not allow escalation and chaos in the West Bank, for fear that Hamas will try to exploit the loss of control and unrest on the Palestinian street and carry out a government coup."
