US President Donald Trump said today that he does not rule out the announcement of a peace plan between the Palestinians and Israel before the Israeli elections scheduled for September 17.
Trump told a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit in France that Israel would want to conclude a peace agreement just like the Palestinians who want to return US funding, after Washington cut off a large part of its funding to the Palestinian Authority.
The US administration announced several dates for the unveiling of its peace plan in the past months, but postponed it and chose to reveal the economic aspect of this plan at the Bahrain conference held in June.
The Palestinian Authority rejects the American peace plan known as the "deal of the century" because it aims to liquidate the core files of the Palestinian issue, including the two-state solution, the right of return of refugees, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The Palestinian leadership accuses the Trump administration of fully biasing Israel in its plan. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said the move would fail, as did the Bahrain conference, which saw limited official Arab participation and low representation.
The plan promises to the Palestinians about $ 30 billion in investments and aid over the next 10 years.
President Abbas stressed that the Palestinians will not accept that the United States imposes an opinion on them, nor will they accept it alone as a mediator in the peace process stalled for years. International legitimacy resolutions.
