Nobody should be surprised that US President Donald Trump’s Middle East peace proposal is heavily tilted toward the Israelis. What is surprising is that, rather than rejecting Trump’s proposal, the world has left the Palestinians largely on their own.
Moreover, in line with Israel’s far-right ethnocratic ambitions, the border would be drawn in a way that strips 300,000 Israeli Arabs of their citizenship, making them citizens of the Palestinian state. In presenting such a deeply unfair plan, Trump has destroyed any credibility that the US may have still had as an honest mediator. Moreover, he has undermined the belief – crucial for progress toward a fair deal – that internationally agreed principles of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, from the need to adhere to the pre-1967 borders to the illegality of Israeli settlements, are unassailable.
Yes, the Arab League repudiated the US plan at a meeting of its foreign ministers in Cairo. But the truth, as Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement put it, is that Trump’s “deal of shame” would not have happened without the “complicity and betrayal” of several Arab states. In Jordan, King Abdullah initially warned that Israel’s annexation of the Jordan Valley would have serious security consequences. But he subsequently advised other countries to “look at the glass half full”.
But it is not only the Arab world that is letting down the Palestinians. The European Union’s high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, Josep Borrell, strongly condemned the plan.
Certainly the Palestinian people will fight and struggle. They are not a nation that is silent receiving humiliation. Palestine freepalastine No4DealOfCentury

Yoursay: Last chance for Harapan to get it rightYOURSAY | ‘Malaysians are feeling betrayed by the ‘false dawn’.’ I believe many Msians voted for new Msia, not Anwar as PM. The worse outcome for Harapan is the coalition breaking up. Anwar & his honchos hv been attacking Dr M weeks after new Govt was formed. It’ll the end of Harapan if it’s top priority is Anwar becoming PM, not new Msia. Right now, we have a bunch of right-wing racists, religious bigots and capitalist and corrupted cronies and kleptocrats who are trying to sodomise their way into power.
