Trump administration to snap ties with Palestinians, no peace plan, no more monetary aid
Dec 23, 2017 @ 18:44 Donald Trump, Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinians, Ramallah, US aid cutoff



The White House has decided to quietly withdraw from all its ties with the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority and Mahmoud Abbas.
DEBKAfile’s exclusive sources report that the Trump administration has resolved to scrap all ties with the Palestinian leadership in retaliation for its campaign against US President Donald Trump and his Jerusalem policy. Several warnings to Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) of what was in store if he did not desist from castigating the US president fell on deaf ears.
Last week, two Arab crown princes, Saudi Muhammed bin Salman and UAE Sheikh Muhammed bin Zayed, summoned Abbas to their capitals and urged him strongly to back away from his attacks on President Trump. He got the same advice from the ruler of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Al Thani, who conferred with Washington on the subject – all to no avail. The Trump administration has therefore set out an eight-point program of sanctions, which is first revealed here:

• The Israeli-Palestinian peace plan under preparation in Washington will not be submitted to Ramallah – only to Israel and the relevant Arab governments.
• US-Palestinian interaction is to be suspended – not just at the senior levels but in day-to-day interchanges. The administration has notified Palestinian and other Arab parties to stop addressing queries on political and economic matters to the US consulate in Jerusalem, because they will not receive answers.
• The status of the PLO office in Washington will be reevaluated with a view to shutting it down.
• Palestinian officials will no longer be invited to Washington by the US government, including the State Department and Department of Treasury.
• Above all, they will not be welcome at the White House or the National Security Council where US Middle East policy is designed. Senior US officials congratulated the senior Palestinian negotiator Saab Erekat, who also holds the PA’s American portfolio, on his recovery from illness, at the same time warning him that he would no longer be received at the White House.
• The Trump administration will not make any public announcement of the cutoff of financial aid to the Palestinians. Since the funds are mostly earmarked for specific economic projects, each allocation will simply be held back on the pretext of the need for a “reappraisal.”
• The US will halt its contributions to the UN Work and Relief Agency (UNWRA), an estimated one billion dollars per annum.
• The US administration moreover intervened with the governments of Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar with a request that they freeze or slow their economic aid to the Palestinian Authority.

According DEBKAfile’s sources, Palestinian officials in Ramallah were devastated by news of the sudden cutoff of the main sources of the PA’s revenue. Even the Qatar ruler, whom Abbas visited last week as a last resort to save the PA from economic meltdown, refused to release any more funding.

Palestinians have already shown middle finger to Zionist controlled America by shutting them out from peace process. Expect other powers like Russia to move in, just like they did in Syria.

Space left by America will be filled by others in waiting. This should actually make people wonder, if Trump is Putin sidekick!

Its the best thing

The U.S is a dishonest peace broker snd always has been but Trump's lack of nuance and diplomacy just revealed it more

You cant have a dishonest peace broker try to resolve a complicated conflict

The U.N or any other state or group willing to honestly and fairly aid negotiations need to step in

The U.S needs to move out and maybe just get on with concentrating only on the U.S

Israel will always get our support in any conflict.

LOL you couldn’t even provide them support at the UN. How are you going to help them during a conflict?

According to UN, these same Arabs are the "Natives" of this land. It is their own right to call themselves whatever they wish.

UN does not recognise any Religious Claims like Jewish god promised this land to jews as birthright etc.

UN created the state of Israel with only one intention, i.e. to save the jewish life and in no way with intention to kick out the native Palestinian people out of their homes in name of any religious madness of promised land etc.

By the way, Israelis are not the "original natives" of all the cities in Israel.

But the Jewish Prophets were limited only to Hebron. But then Jewish god ordered them to start killing "all" the men and "all" the women and children of the other cities of Levant and do the Holocaust in all these cities including Jerusalem where "Jebusites" were the "original natives".

Actually this is just a useless reaction to Palestinians actions.
As Palestinians refused to meet with US Vice President.....and said US is no longer a solo player in peace process.

Also there are other actions....

The Imam of El Azhar Al sharif refused to meet US Vice President also after the American Embassy in Cairo asked for a meeting.

The Coptic Pop in Egypt refused to meet him as well.
