Washington-Sana
Nathan Thorol, director of Middle East affairs at the International Crisis Group, stressed that the so-called "deal of the century" announced by US President Donald Trump as an alleged peace plan between the Palestinian side and "Israel" deprives millions of Palestinians of all their rights and gives them the opportunity as an occupying power to annex more lands. Palestinian.
In a article published by the New York Times entitled "Trump's peace plan in the Middle East reveals the hideous truth," Thorol pointed out that the Trump deal will create a Palestinian state made up of the archipelago and will give Israel a free hand to continue violating Palestinian rights and restrict their freedoms amid an international silence on this farce. .
Throll said that this deal, "which prioritizes the interests of" Israel "and even rewards it for its illegal settlement activities, is not considered a breach or a major change in US policies over the past decades. It only puts the finishing touches on the building that Republican and US officials have established on For decades. ”
He added that successive US administrations gave Israel continuous diplomatic support while it was slowly annexing the lands of the occupied West Bank and putting hundreds of thousands of settlers in it .. Also, these departments, despite their different parties, raised their veto in the face of many Security Council resolutions condemning Israel and pressured International courts should not pursue the Israeli entity and grant this entity huge billions of dollars in funding annually.
Throl added that some Democrats who ran for the presidency denounced the annexation, even though they did nothing to stop it. Senator Amy Kloppchar could have signed a letter criticizing Trump's plan and his lack of respect for international law, as it previously supported a joint decision in the Senate in 2016 expressing deep opposition to a decision The UN Security Council demanding that Israel stop settlement activity.
He pointed out that the rest of the Democrats, such as Elizabeth Warren and Pete Battigig, say that they are not ready to finance Israeli annexations, and this talk is only to appear in the hard-line appearance of this issue, but without any real action on the ground.
In turn, the writer confirmed in the British Financial Times newspaper, "Edward Los" that the so-called "deal of the century" serves "Israel" alone and will not in any way lead to peace in the region, as it comes at a time intended to enhance the chances of the American president in the elections.
He added in an article published by the newspaper that Trump's plan is also considered an attempt by him to divert attention from the ongoing trial in the American Senate aimed at isolating him and to remind members of the Zionist lobby that he is proceeding to achieve their dream.
Trump announced last Tuesday, in a blatant violation of international resolutions, the terms of the so-called "deal of the century" aimed at liquidating the Palestinian issue, which sparked widespread Palestinian rejection.
