Shame deal
On the Palestinian inside, Hamas said that the plan announced by Trump would be a cause for exploding conflict with the Israeli occupation, and would not be a source of security and peace in the region, and that it aims to liquidate the Palestinian cause and stabilize the elements of the racist Jewish extremist state.

The leader of the Islamic Jihad movement, Daoud Shihab, said that the Palestinian stance rejecting this deal will be translated with a concern to strengthen unity and participation with the national community in confronting it and activating the resistance in all its forms.

The Lebanese Hezbollah also condemned the plan, calling it a "shame deal" and an attempt to eradicate "historical and legal" Palestinian rights.
