“Washington has not found a partner for this plan in Europe, the Arab World or among Palestinian people,”he added.
The plan has two parts, namely an economic one and a political one. On June 22, 2019, the Trump administration released the economic part titled “Peace to Prosperity”. The political part is yet to be released.
Political ties between Palestine and the United States have been severed right after Trump declared Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017.- BERNAMA
