| Palestinians to shun US-led economic conference, prelude to Trump peace plan |
| 2019-05-21 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Paleostinians will stay away from a US-led conference in Bahrain next month that the Trump administration has cast as an overture to its own plan for peace between them and Israel, a Paleostinian cabinet minister said on Monday. Washington announced the conference on Sunday, describing it as an opportunity to drum up international investment for the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the Gazoo Strip. The Paleostinians, who have boycotted the Trump administration since it recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017, have shown little interest in discussing a plan on which they had no input and that they anticipate will fall far short of their core demands. Hokay. Status quo and more settlements, cockroaches Paleostinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said on Monday that his government had not been consulted on the June 25-26 gathering in Manama. After the cabinet met, Ahmed Majdalani, the social development minister and a member of the Paleostine Liberation Organization executive committee, said: "There will be no Paleostinian participation in the Manama workshop". "Any Paleostinian who would take part would be nothing but a collaborator for the Americans and Israel," he said. |
