Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen once again attacked Donald Trump's "century deal" on Saturday. During the Arab League Foreign Ministers meeting in Cairo, Abu Mazen accused Trump of returning some of his promises to the Palestinians. " Trump has promised to solve the Palestinian problem in a way that fits the Palestinian position. I informed Trump of the desire to establish a demilitarized Palestinian state, "the PA chairman said.
He said he met with Trump four times and the US president's delegation reached the Palestinians 37 times, but "the meetings did not bear fruit. Since America took over the negotiations - no progress has been made in the Palestinian arena. During Netanyahu's tenure - no progress has been made. Believe in peace. "

Trump and Netanyahu on Tuesday presented the US government's plan to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which includes recognition of Israeli sovereignty over Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley. In return, Israel will freeze construction for four years, during which negotiations will be held for the establishment of a future Palestinian state, under restrictions, whose capital will include parts of East Jerusalem.
The plan was rejected by most of the Palestinian leadership, and Abu Mazen himself was quick to respond to Trump's and Netanyahu's statements and declare the plan "a plot that will not pass." Yesterday, Jordan's King Abdullah spoke with the PA chairman and expressed his "steady support" for the Palestinian people, in addition to Foreign Minister Ayman A-Safadi, who warned of unilateral measures. The plan was received in protest on streets across the Gaza Strip and Judea and Samaria, A demonstration of about 3,000 people.
Tomorrow was scheduled for the weekly government meeting, in which Netanyahu planned to vote on the application of sovereignty in the settlements. However, yesterday he announced the abolition of sitting in the background of the White House's opposition to taking unilateral measures at this time. For now, the decision has been postponed to an unknown date.
