Does Trump’s ‘ultimate deal’ reject PLO propaganda?

President Trump’s as-yet unannounced “ultimate deal” to solve a Arab-Jewish dispute has perceived a reversal following Saudi Arabia’s King Salman reassuring Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas that Saudi Arabia would conflict any Trump assent devise that did not accept a PLO position on East Jerusalem apropos a collateral of an eccentric Palestinian Arab state.

The PLO explain to East Jerusalem is formed on a possess promotion and that of a United Nations that claims East Jerusalem to be “occupied territory”.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 – adopted on 23 Dec 2016 – expresses this explain in a following terms:

“1. Reaffirms that a investiture by Israel of settlements in a Palestinian domain assigned given 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no authorised effect and constitutes a extreme defilement underneath general law and a vital barrier to a feat of a two-State resolution and a just, durability and extensive peace;

2. Reiterates a direct that Israel immediately and totally stop all allotment activities in a assigned Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and that it wholly honour all of a authorised obligations in this regard;”

These clauses are injured – denying Jewish claims in East Jerusalem and lacking legitimacy for a following reasons:

• East Jerusalem is not “Palestinian territory”. Jews had lived there for 3000 years until each Jewish ancient was forcibly diminished in 1948 by 6 invading Arab armies.
• East Jerusalem is “reoccupied territory” – not “occupied territory” – carrying been reclaimed by a Jewish people in a 1967 Six Day War from Jordanian function that had done East Jerusalem Judenrein for 19 years.
• The authorised right to reconstruct a Jewish National Home in East Jerusalem was unanimously endorsed by all 51 member states of a League of Nations underneath essay 6 of a 1922 Mandate for Palestine and recorded by essay 80 of a UN Charter.
• Jews are the usually people to have ever had a collateral in Jerusalem:
• Jerusalem has stood during a core of a Jewish people’s inhabitant and devout life since King David done it a collateral of his dominion in 1003 BCE. The city remained a collateral of a Davidic dynasty for 400 years, until a dominion was cowed by a Babylonians. Following a lapse from the Babylonian exile in 538 BCE, Jerusalem again served as a collateral of a Jewish people in a land for a subsequent 5 and a half centuries.”
• The Palestinian Arabs unsuccessful to settle an eccentric state with East Jerusalem as a collateral between 1948 and 1967 – selecting instead togetherness with Transjordan to emanate a new emperor entity called “Jordan”
• The PLO on a arrangement in 1964 specifically deserted any explain to government in East Jerusalem.

The terms “occupied territory” and “occupied Palestinian territories” have been used to kick Israel over a conduct for decades. They are fake and misleading.

“Reoccupied territory” and “reoccupied Jewish territories” predicate an wholly opposite mindset.

US Ambassador to a United Nations – Nikki Haley – has done Trump’s intentions very clear:

“From now on, each nation knows that a United States will not usually retard anti-Israel measures, we will gleam a light on those who are responsible. There won’t be any some-more giveaway passes for those who brag Israel during a UN”

Trump should reject these fictitious PLO and UN promotion ploys to remind King Salman of a speciousness of PLO claims to East Jerusalem.

King Salman told Abbas:

“We accept what we accept and we reject what we reject”

Blind acquiescence to PLO dictates is not a approach to confront President Trump.

Semantics are important. One word – “reoccupied” instead of “occupied” – creates a universe of difference.
