Trump announces ‘Agreement of the Century’ prepared to solve Israel-Palestine problem

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced the “Agreement of the Century”, which he prepared with the claim of “finding a solution” to the Palestinian-Israeli issue. While the 80-page deal was welcomed by the Israeli government, it attracted the reaction of Palestinian officials.

In his statement, Trump said that Jerusalem will continue to be the ‘indivisible’ capital of Israel. The American leader stated that the recognition of Palestine as a state is possible only when terrorism is completely abandoned.

If the agreement is reached, the Palestinian capital will be recognized as an independent state with eastern Jerusalem, with a two-state structure, and its borders will be twice its territory today. The US will also open an embassy in East Jerusalem and a $ 50 billion grant will be donated to Fistin.

The agreement also states that roads and bridges will be built between Gaza and the West Bank, but the settlements in the West Bank will remain as they are. New settlements will not be built for the next four years, but when this period expires, the settlement will restart. During this time, security and police force will be provided by Israel.

In his speech, Trump emphasized that hatred towards Israel, Hamas’ activities and the ‘Islamic jihad’ should be terminated.

Addressing Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Trump said, “Abbas, if you choose the path of peace, both the USA and other countries will be there for help.” said.

The President of the USA added that the Palestinians had a 4-year period to review the agreement and become an independent state.

Reaction from the Palestinians

During the demonstrations held in various parts of the Gaza Strip, the activists who reacted to the policies pursued by the USA and Israel shouted “No to the Agreement of the Century”.

Prime Minister Netanyahu met with US President Trump at the White House yesterday to discuss the “peace plan”.

“This is a very big plan and will serve as a proposal for Israel and the Palestinians. This is the closest plan to realization. We will see what will happen. We have the support of the Prime Minister and many Arab countries. .

Trump’s peace plan

It is stated in the peace plan of the US administration that the right to return of nearly 6 million Palestinian refugees from Israel’s territory is not mentioned.

Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas described the plan as “the float of the century” and stated that it contains nothing in favor of the Palestinian people, except for some economic aid.
