This is what occurs when the USA does not stand up for Palestine.

The West Bank has never been invaded by Israel before, it has always been Gaza.

Jerusalem - Israel (click here) has begun to draw up maps of land in the occupied West Bank that will be annexed in accordance with U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday....

It appears to me that Trump is steading Netanyahu so his lies at the podium are good lies. Believable lies. Two of the world's most powerful leaders and no one can believe a word they say.

The annexation of the West Bank is in the Trump Peace Plan. He has no provisions for the Palestinians or a Palestinian homeland.

While the controversial plan (click here) initially received a warm response from some Gulf states, criticism is now increasing

Donald Trump’s Middle East peace plan is facing a new wave of criticism from world bodies, including the EU and some Gulf states that initially welcomed the deal, over fears it ignores Palestinian rights.

They also expressed concern that it green-lights Israel’s plan to imminently annex areas of the occupied West Bank.

Mr Trump’s efforts to kickstart the stagnant peace process last week were at first met with relatively positive comments from European and some Arab countries, who urged the Palestinians to give negotiations a chance.

What unfortunate circumstances, the USA is supposed to have been invading Iran by now. Oops. Does that make the deaths of Iranian generals premeditated murder? They have never been shown to be an imminent danger to the USA.

Four Palestinians have been killed (click here) and over a dozen Israeli soldiers wounded during a 24-hour surge in violence just days after Donald Trump revealed his divisive peace plan for the region.

The Israeli parliament called a special session for Monday to discuss the recent wave of attacks while the country’s army said it was deploying additional combat troops in the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian presidency meanwhile blamed the “environment [of] tension” on a “dangerous” escalation by Israel as well as Mr Trump’s deal. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to find those responsible for the violence, adding “terrorism will not defeat us, we will win.”
