After over 100 years since Balfour Declaration that saw the UK giving Palestine as a home country to Jews, Trump Deceleration or “Promise” comes to give the land, which he doesn’t own, to the people who don’t deserve it.
The US President and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Tuesday “the deal of the century” with details that shocked the Palestinians who rendered the deal as “the slap of the century” as it strips them of their land.
According to observers, the phrase of “Jerusalem is the united capital of Israel” was the biggest slap and end of hopes for peace or the two-country solution as Jerusalem has always been Arab and Muslim’s main condition for any solution between Israelis and Palestinians.
Trump tweeted a map for the borders of the proposed Palestinian state, writing in Arabic “This is what a future State of Palestine can look like, with a capital in parts of East Jerusalem.” He proposed to make investments worth 50 billion dollars in Palestine.
Observers also believe that Israelis have never had such a support as the one Trump has been giving to them effortlessly, first by transferring the US embassy to Jerusalem and then blocking funds of the UNRWA, recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and Israeli sovereignty in Syria’s occupied Golan Heights.
The Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas rejected the “slap of the century” and vowed to take the needed measures internationally and locally to fail the deal. Palestinians also took top the streets to condemn what they called the utilitarian step.
