Palestinian side repels Trump's Middle East peace plan, Jan. 28 at 8:10
President Trump of the United States has announced on Monday that the Middle East peace plan to resolve the long-standing dispute between Israel and Palestine will be released on Tuesday. In view of the fall presidential election, it seems likely that the country will appeal to Israel's emphasis, but the Palestinian side is expected to rebound.
President Trump invited Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to the White House on the 27th to hold a summit meeting.
At the beginning of the talks, President Trump told reporters that he would announce the Middle East peace plan to resolve a long-standing conflict between Israel and Palestine at noon on March 28 (2:00 a.m. Japan time on the 29th).
President Trump has called the stagnant Middle East peace talks a “deal of the century” and has shown a strong willingness to mediate.
President Trump also said that the peace plan he had shown was "the Palestinian side may not want it at first" and is likely to be closer to Israel.
President Trump, who is preparing for the presidential election this fall, seems to be aiming to emphasize Israel's emphasis on the support base of Christian evangelicals in the United States who are more pro-Israel.
However, the Palestinian side does not consider the United States a fair mediator and is expected to rebound, saying that the Trump administration has continued to be extremely Israeli.
Abbas refuses to talk
Prior to the announcement of the peace bill in the Middle East, President Trump of the United States proposed calling Palestine to Abbas, but found that Abbas had rejected it.
This was reported by the Turkish government news agency Anatolia News Agency on the 27th as a senior official of the Palestinian Authority.
According to the report, President Trump had proposed to President Abbas to answer the telephone talks a few days ago to discuss the Middle East peace plan.
President Trump appears to have tried to talk to Palestine, the other party to peace, but Abbas rejected the proposal.
The Palestinians have rebelled against the Trump administration unilaterally recognizing Jerusalem, the controversial affiliation more than two years ago, as the capital of Israel, and have been disconnected from the United States since then.
The Palestinian side is expected to step up protests, including calling for protest demonstrations if the Middle East peace plan announced by President Trump is leaning toward Israel.
