Palestinians threatened to sever all ties with Israel and the United States

The head of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, said his administration would sever all relations, including security cooperation, with Israel and the United States because of disagreement with the plan for a peaceful settlement of the Middle East conflict proposed this week by US President Donald Trump, writes «Radio Svoboda».

Speaking in Cairo at a meeting of Foreign Ministers of the League of Arab States, Abbas сказалthat will never accept the terms proposed by Trump. According to Abbas, he will not negotiate with Israel on the basis of this plan. The Palestinian leader said he would not communicate with Trump.

Both the leadership of the Palestinian Authority and the Gaza-controlling Gaza Strip have previously rejected the peace plan. Saudi Arabia and Egypt praised the efforts of the US president to find ways out of the conflict and called on both parties to the conflict to study the US proposals, but did not directly support them. Definitely rejected the Trump plan, in particular, Iran and Syria.

The plan, which Trump called the “deal of the century,” provides for the creation of an independent Palestinian state, but only in part of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. According to the plan, the Jordan Valley should go to Israel, in addition, Jerusalem should become the single and indivisible capital of Israel (although East Jerusalem is also mentioned as the capital of the Palestinian state).

The plan also provides for the allocation of up to $50 billion to Palestine. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supported this plan. Palestinians, however, consider many of its provisions unacceptable. Abbas said at a meeting in Cairo that he “will not sell Jerusalem.” Protests took place in the West Bank on Friday, January 31.

История вопроса

Israelis consider Jerusalem their capital. Palestinians insist that the capital of the future Palestinian state should be located in the eastern part of Jerusalem. Washington favors talks between Palestinians and Israelis on the status of Jerusalem.

Israel declared Jerusalem its capital after the end of the War of Independence in 1949. In 1967, after the Six Day War, he captured East Jerusalem and united it with West, but the UN did not recognize this because of the claims of Palestine, so the city was divided into zones of influence and is considered an occupied territory, and all diplomatic missions of countries that have relations with Israel located mainly in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan and Herzliya.

In October 1995, the law on the embassy was passed by both chambers of Congress, which established that the US embassy in Israel should be transferred to Jerusalem no later than 31 in May 1999, and provided for strict budgetary sanctions against the US State Department in the event that this requirement was not met.

Since then, the actual failure to comply with the JEA by the US administration was possible only because every six months the US president signed a special decree on the postponement of measures to transfer the embassy. So did Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

In the introductory part of the JEA, it is stated that, according to international law and accepted custom, each sovereign nation independently determines the location of its capital. It is further noted that since 1950, Jerusalem has been the capital of the State of Israel, and that this city has the residence of its president, the office of the prime minister, the Knesset, the Supreme Court and other authorities.

The preamble also notes that, being the spiritual center of Judaism and a holy city for other religions, Jerusalem remained from 1948 to 1967 a divided city, and that during this period Israeli citizens of all faiths, as well as Jewish citizens of other countries, were denied access to holy places in Jordan-controlled part of Jerusalem.

With the change of this state of affairs after the Six Day War 1967, representatives of all religions are guaranteed free access to the holy places of reunited Jerusalem.

On this basis, the operational part of the JEA prescribed:

  1. Jerusalem must remain an undivided city, in which the rights of every ethnic and religious group are protected.
  2. Jerusalem must be recognized by the United States as the capital of the State of Israel.
  3. The US Embassy in Israel must be established in Jerusalem no later than 31 in May 1999.
