- The Palestinians
have made up their mind: The Trump peace plan is bad for us
and we will not accept it. The plan is bad because it does not
force Israel to give the Palestinians everything.
- If and when the
Trump administration makes public its peace plan, the
Palestinians will be the first to reject it, simply because it
does not meet all their demands.
- Trump will soon
learn that for Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinians, 99% is just
not enough.

The Palestinians are once again angry -- this time
because the Trump administration does not seem to have endorsed
their position regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The
Palestinians are also angry because they believe that the Trump
administration does not want to force Israel to comply with all their
demands.
Here is how the Palestinians see it: If you are not
with us, then you must be against us. If you do not accept all our
demands, then you must be our enemy and we cannot trust you to play
the role of an "honest" broker in the conflict with Israel.
Last week, unconfirmed reports once again suggested
that the Trump administration has been working on a comprehensive
plan for peace in the Middle East. The full details of the plan
remain unknown at this time.
