Tunisian President Qais Said described US President Donald Trump's plan for peace in the Middle East as a "dark century" and said that he considered normalization with the Israeli occupation a great betrayal.
Said, during an interview with Tunisian state television, on the occasion of the centenary of his assumption of the presidency, denounced the Tunisian Foreign Ministry's statement on his country's position on Trump's plan, stressing that he had intervened to fix the error.
Saeed said that "the culture of defeat that prevails within Arab society more than defeat in itself; defeated thought cannot be a prelude to victory, and defeated thought can only be foolish thought and peer thought."
"I am here to explain my position on the darkness of the two centuries, the darkness of the last century and a new darkness at the beginning of this century, because Palestine is not a wasteland or a grove until it is the subject of a deal, and the right of Palestine does not lapse by statute of limitations," he added.
Regarding normalization with the Israeli occupation, Saeed said, "I cannot retreat from what I said earlier. Normalization is an intruder concept, he entered the Arabic language after the signing of the Camp David agreement, so the issue today is not considered normalization, so the normal situation with this rapist entity is that we work to end this rape." And the displacement of the Palestinian people. "
And last Tuesday, US President Donald Trump announced - at a press conference in Washington - his plan for peace in the Middle East, in the presence of outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The plan gives Israel much of what it has long sought, including recognition by the United States of its West Bank settlements, sovereignty over the Jordan Valley, and that Jerusalem is Israel's indivisible capital.
