One day after the Trump administration announced plans for an economic summit that would kick-start its long-awaited Middle East peace plan, the project is already facing a barrage of criticism, questions and rejections.

Palestinian leaders, from government to business, repudiated the summit after the White House announcement Sunday -- highlighting how difficult it will be for President Donald Trump to make a deal after several steps that were seen as supportive of Israel.

An administration official told ABC News Monday that it's not yet been decided when the political portion of the plan will be rolled out but didn't rule out that it could also be unveiled in Bahrain, where the focus would be on bringing in economic investment to help solve the decades-old conflict. Palestinian political leaders were angry because they did not receive an advanced notice of the economic summit plan before the U.S. announcement Sunday, according to Shtayyeh. There has been virtually no contact between the Trump administration and Palestinian leadership since December 2017, when Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

"We will not deal with any event outside the Palestinian national consensus," said Bashar Masri, a prominent and wealthy Palestinian businessman who said neither he nor any of his employees will participate."The idea of economic peace is an old idea that is now being asked differently, and as our people have previously rejected it, we reject it now."

Donald Trump Threatens To Blow Up Infrastructure Talks: and yet He & Jared Kushner wants a Middle East plan that would focus on Middle East’s infrastructure, industry, Middle East people, and governance reforms. What about AmericaFirst ? InfrastructureNow

After Trump takes away all aid from the Palestinians, says Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and the person who compiled the peace plan is Trump's son-in-law and Jewish, who in this world would believe the peace plan is nothing more than giving Netanyahu what he wants.

And of course ABC wants MidEast peace to fail.

Funny how Trump is leading with monetary schemes to achieve middle east peace. The GrifterInChief strikes again.

waste of money and time as peace in middle east can never be achieved when religion stays so powerful. Only way for peace is Nuke it all

FakeNews

It's useless summit and there plan won't work it's conspiracy plan and not a plan for a peacea

Isn’t everyone sick and tired of Trump’s criminal son-in-law. How can the Senate GOP keep supporting this bull.

Javanka is one the biggest liabilities of the trump admin. The effects will be clear in 2020.

Imagine that. The status quo pushing back on the Trump administration. Unbelievable.

'God has sent Trump to unite us': Palestinians say U.S. policies, cuts have only bolstered 'right of return' demands“The more they put pressure on us and say this is not our land, the more enthusiastic we become to get our land back,' said one Palestinian refugee living in Beirut, Lebanon.
