With no official participation from the two main protagonists, Israel and the Palestinians, and scant enthusiasm from others, continued uncertainty and strong doubts over the plan’s political vision and the distraction of potential U.S.-Iran conflict, expectations are decidedly low. President Donald Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner faces high hurdles in building support for the initiative.
“Generations of Palestinians have lived under adversity and loss, but the next chapter can be defined by freedom and dignity,” the White House said, calling the plan “the most ambitious international effort for the Palestinian people to date.” “The plan cannot pass because it ends the Palestinian cause,” Abbas said Saturday. “We are not going to attend this workshop, the reason is that the economic situation should not be discussed before a political situation, so long as there is no political situation, we do not deal with any economic situation.”
Its supporters suspect the administration purposely scheduled the Bahrain conference to conflict with its event, noting that Kushner’s peace plan partner Jason Greenblatt has publicly called for UNRWA’s dissolution. Greenblatt argued last month that the agency perpetuates Palestinian victimhood, abets anti-Israel sentiment and is an inefficient drain on funds that could be better directed.
Ridiculous - provide every soul from the river to the sea with equal rights - just like in America - treat all the people in historic Palestine as equals - fund and support that - simple - anything less is apartheid
FuckPalestine
There has always been a pattern in giving over ex amount of years they don’t actually give much and pull the funds and use it as blackmail
Am I being overly picky by pointing out that we are talking about 50 billion not 50 million to buy out the Palestinians? And is pointing to the higher figure an example of antisemitic troping? I am I being a self-hating Jew?
Palestinians want their stolen homes, lands and livelihoods. They don't want to stand in long lines to get to and from work or school. Israel needs to step back and stop occupying every inch of Palestine.
Kushner wants to buy Palestine for 50 billion using money from Saudi Arabia and UAE. Only the Zionists can come up with such a plan. This can be taught in political science classes about the way this evil zio gang operates.
Peace in Middle East!
That unqualified jerk should not use American money to do his dirty work, they will bankrupt us before he and his father in law leave office. They will start a war to distract from this disaster.
Wondering what economic impact a $50 billion US investment might have in Central America. It would eliminate Trump’s racist immigration platform and red meat issue for his hungry hordes. 👩🏻🎤
Trump and Jared will get a BIGLY piece of that impeach Trump
We wish the free world and the Arab peoples not to be false witnesses or partners in selling Palestine cheaply. Palestine
The Palestinian cause is not an issue of money and an economy, they claim, but a matter of sovereignty, liberation and repatriation. Palestine
Where is all this money suppose to come from? Which fund is being robbed?
50 billion for Palestinians but not one red cent for student loan debt relief?
Dont give PA an American cent.. they need to give America collateral.. have them combat iran? An effort to down size.them both
Buy peace So Trump
I don’t want to spend time reading this article. Just tell me how much of that $50B will end up in trump’s pocket.
ANOTHER SCAM TO GET MIDDLE EAST MONEY INTO TRUMP & KUSHNERS bank accounts!!!!
This agreement or “deal” will often not succeed in the long run ,although Arabs have now surrounded their heads and be silent to this humiliation for some time.
It has become clear that the biggest losers from this deal are the Palestinians. The deal of the century with its current practices poses a threat to the Palestinian strategic interests and the results of their struggle over the last seven decades .
This is certainly not an American peace overture, but an egregious act of bullying.
'If they really care about the Palestinian economy they should start by lifting the siege of Gaza, stopping Israel stealing our money and our resources and our land and opening up our territorial waters, our air space and our borders so we can freely export and import,'
Palestinian people who decide how to respond to the deal, and there is a Palestinian consensus to reject it. The American administration must realize that this deal will not bring the peace process closer.
We suffer from siege, injustice, oppression and arbitrary aggression. Please stop the century deal for children deprived of their basic rights and for women, men and the sick. Stop the injustice 👌 Stop the deal of the century.
Palestine is our souls and who can live without his soul. We will defend our lands up to release it. You and all the others who are like you should know that we are not stupid people to allow you steal our land in this ease.
if I paid the money to find peace instead of setting up the unjust deal then I would spend a lot of money for the victims of that deal.The deal of the century will oppress many people and rob there hope and will kill their children and destroy their homes as do the Israelis
Nothing called the deal of the century. The peace will not be achieved by this trivial deal. The peace will be achieved by leaving us live in our land peacefully. Do not enter youself in the issues of the other countries cause it is non of you business.
This is a cruel new tool for understanding the layered implementation of dispossession, settlement expansion, and isolation of Palestinians order to expand and consolidate control over the lands it occupied
Israel has created a reality of dispossession, oppression and human rights abuses in Gaza and the West Bank.The Palestinian land is the cradle of history, heritage and religion Deal of the century will not pass and will not succeed
Well, of course Jared would think financial bribes would do the trick. The guy's a one-trick pony.
the Palestinians have rejected what they deem as the 'slap of the century' and refuse to participate in any meeting that is meant to facilitate its implementation.
Despite decades of US support for 'Israeli terrorism', Palestine will remain for the Palestinians alone and Jewish gangs will not be able to establish an 'Israeli state'on Palestinian .' Israel' deprived Palestinians of all their rights, but could not deprive them to defend.
'If they really care about the Palestinian economy they should start by lifting the siege of Gaza, stopping Israel stealing our money and our resources and our land and opening up our territorial waters, our air space and our borders so we can freely export and import,'
No for '' A deal of the century that will prioritise Israeli interests over Palestinian rights and ignore fundamental principles of international law.
“Deal of the century” will place West Bank settlements under Israeli rule, and suggesting that Israel could apply Israeli civil law to Palestine lands.
The policy of financial and economic starvation in order to push our people to accept the so-called deal of the century will not succeed
Famous vs For Real Deal: The Money Goal:
I don’t understand why we keep messing around trying to solve peace or economics in the Middle East. Its not the USA s job to solve this
Your going to give them 50B while people are homeless and hungry in America?
Waste of money. There will be no peace in the Middle East.The Muslim Brotherhood wants complete control & if they get control, then factions will fight within the MB. Vicious, unpeaceful bunch.
MAGA Winning. NOT
Really? How's that America first realDonaldTrump? Get real SpeakerPelosi. Focus on infrastructure here & now. Damn the Trump heights in Isreal. cnni MSNBC WSJ washingtonpost TIME ABCWorldNews Reuters nytimesworld HuffPost Lawrence thehills AP guardian AxiosWorld
Not acceptable!
How much goes to the families of Trump and his son in law.....
NOPE!
Economic prosperity does tend to let people forget about their problems, but it sounds like this deal is being floated in a context that neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians find acceptable, so I don’t understand the point - the article suggests this deal is not happening.
That would be so lovely
What happened to America first? People in America could use that money and it belongs to the taxpayers not trump or Kushner.
50 Billion for Iran to be “Good”
49 billion for Jews and 1 billion for business involvement in Palestinian 😂 lies and manipulation..they worse than pharaoh and they price to pay for disgraceful actions very much above the pharaoh paid...so be it in the Name Of God of Truth!Power that keeps all hearts biting 🙏
Couldn’t that money be put to better use here at home? Oh wait I’m sorry there wouldn’t be any kickbacks for the trump administration silly me
Yesterday the headlines were about Trump going to nuk Iran. I wish there news was not so poorly spun. But I think Trump enjoys the imbalance. It helps in negotiations to have a reputation of crazy.
Jared Kushner is unqualified to made a deal of any kind! Sad!
WHY !!! Use that $$ for US !!! Why a 1000 time why ?
What about the crumbling infrastructure in the USA. What about jobs for the unemployed Steel workers and Cosl workers who blindly support and worship Trump? They are screwed. MAGA
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday reiterated his rejection of the proposal and the conference. Who are the true intended beneficiaries? 🧐
Just another con from realDonaldTrump and his family. Where’s all this $ coming from
Dying to hear about this. Literally
A waste of money. Nothing will change. The hate will go on.
I hope the $50 billion is from them to us!!
Another failure.
I don’t think the 45WHA will be able to buy them!
Won't happen. Needs a political solution before an economic one. Kushners plan is to build infrastructure in WB and Gaza and provide funding for Palestinians in Jordan, Egypt etc to keep 'em there.Trump doesn't want a 2 state solution. West Bank to be annexed. Aiming for 1 state.
The personification of ICE.
Got to take care of other countries don't u orange man. Bet trying to get a hotel or golf course there
What ever 😖
I hope it works. NeverStopFighting PLOblows
Just exactly when did this take place and why is USAToday the only one on the planet to supposedly know about it?
50 billion dollar deal involving none of the representatives of the American people, but an adviser to the President, his son in law. This is some coup bull shit!
Boy he must really want more resorts there. Remember when he complained about other presidents spending tax payer money to other countries?
Can we please quit paying for peace, paying for allies and paying for war all at the same time? SMH
I’d like to see the detailed budgets for this $50 billion proposal.
Just think what $50 billion could do to help our inner cities! Ultimately, I would bet the Kushners & the Trumps are going to profit some way on this deal!
$$ for a 'peace' deal and we aren't supposed to wonder if something is fishy?
Who's supplying the $50 billion?
Trump’s “America First” is all a lie.
That 50 billion being given to Palestinians is American taxpayers money.
Crooked Kushner
Hey middle class, you will have to work 4 jobs to pay for this piece of nothingness
Its the Nazis peace plan
Like everything Trump has done so far, lots of marketing news and nothing comes out of it.
Flint Michigan still doesn't have clean water.
What a joke! Arab nations will give $50B to Palestinian. If you believe that, i have a bridge to sell. 😂
No. No. No.
Today’s distraction? What real news are we missing?
Does it have something to do with expanding hotel retail investment in the Middle East. Just a thought.
Does anyone really think this baby-faced dimwit could negotiate a peace process that people with MUCH higher IQ haven’t t been able to solve so far?
Where exactly is this money coming from? Now we're 'nation-building'?
Use your one money to fund this. I don’t approve
Money does not buy peace.
Rejected by the main stakeholder Palestinians. Not a surprise when Kushner and Trump gave their ancestral homeland away giving nothing but bullets into crowds in return
War with Iran and peace with Palestine, sounds like Bible prophecy, trump will be named the messiah after his turn is over
😡😡😡😡
Ridiculous waste of taxpayers money
Conservatives will welcome this... but got mad at Obama giving Iran its OWN MONEY BACK
What do the Trumps and Kushners get out of it personally?
Just like rich white people they think they can just throw money at people
Now unveil Cult45’s tax returns & details of Jared’s new 800M Federally backed loans! Cult45 RussianAsset CorruptGOP BigotInChief

A bribe
