• Conflict.Donald Trump presents his peace plan: "All parties win"
  • Peace plan: The response of the Palestinians: "A thousand times no"

Unlike the 'American Pax' led by President Barack Obama, Donald Trump's team has based its recipe on new formulas that challenge the traditional international position and two great ingredients: the economic and the political . After presenting in summer in Bahrain billionaire mana of investments to the Palestinians, this Tuesday has arrived the most spicy and controversial dish: a road map to the problems that have separated Israelis and Palestinians from a peace in the Holy Land for decades.

If Obama sponsored a negotiating process between the parties, Trump advocated a unilateral project after Abu Mazen vetoed Trump in response to his pro-Israeli measures. The main consultation of his team has been Netanyahu.

In the spring of 2014, Obama's peace process, led by the chief of diplomacy, John Kerry, derailed. Six years later, Trump's train starts with a lot of noise and no options for it to reach its destination. For Trump and Netanyahu, however, the important thing in the election campaign is to leave the station.

PALESTINIAN STATE

Trump defends the "realistic" solution of two states and gives the Palestinian leadership a margin of four years to change his mind and accept his offer. But the Palestinian state of the "agreement of the century", unarmed and without border control, is far from the minimum that Abu Mazen can accept and not only because it includes requests such as the disarmament of the Islamist group Hamas or the recognition of Israel as Jewish state

Abu Mazen demands a state at the pre-war borders of 67, when Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem that were under Jordanian rule. Trump, however, offers him a country over 70% of the West Bank, although he emphasizes that it doubles the territory currently controlled by the ANP. The proposal of 97% of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert before resigning 12 years ago did not end in agreement.

Netanyahu's acceptance of a plan based on the creation of a Palestinian state could cause him problems with the most right-wing sectors of the Likud and the right-wing bloc in his current acting Government, but given the conditions for it and the refusal has no fear. since he sees it impossible in the short and medium term. Trump's exchange of territories to "compensate" for Israeli control of 30% of the West Bank is confusing and hardly likely. As much as the underground tunnel today between Gaza and the West Bank that describes the text of the plan.

The international community, including the United States until Trump's arrival, bets on the old principle of peace in exchange for territories.

JERUSALEM

The spiritual center of the world is also one of the cardinal points of the conflict. After the war of 67, Israel took over the eastern part of the city . On July 30, 1980, the Israeli Parliament passed a law declaring Jerusalem as "the indivisible capital of Israel and the Jewish people." The annexation was not recognized by the UN. The Palestinians hope that the eastern part is their capital.

Trump says he will continue to be the capital of Israel and, at the same time, supports the eastern part being the capital of the Palestinian state , expressing his desire to install his embassy there. The answer to the contradiction is that it refers to some areas of the eastern part where about 300,000 Palestinians live. In Jerusalem, more than 60% of the 900,000 inhabitants are Jews.

Trump assured the continuation of the status quo in the Al Aksa Mosque (Islam) or Temple Mount (Judaism) recalling the tutelary role of the Jordanian monarchy.

COLONIES

"The recognition of the United States of sovereignty in the Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria is historic," Netanyahu celebrates on a plan that does not force him to evacuate, although it requires him to freeze construction in certain areas, allowing him to apply Israeli law. about the settlements where 427,800 Jews live today. His claim is to take it to the government for a vote this Sunday. It is not about annexation but that the Jewish communities are under the law of the country and not under the military administration point Israeli sources.

Two months ago, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that his country no longer sees the colonies as illegal. In this way, it breaks the traditional American and international position on the settlements raised in that territory and always at the negotiating table. Not with Trump.

If Netanyahu carries out its promise next week to apply sovereignty over the Jordan Valley, a relatively deserted but strategic West Bank zone as an eastern security border, Jordan's monarch Abdala II could freeze and even cancel the peace agreement signed in 1994 .

For Palestinians who pray for a change of president in the next US elections, the problem is not so much Trump's plan - it will not be the first and the only one that fails - as the green light that gives Netanyahu to take action in the ground before the elections in Israel.
