Global Geopolitical Series: Key updates on Israel-Palestine peace process from President Trump’s telephonic conversation with Jewish faith leaders

President Trump had a discussion on the latest U.S. efforts on the Israel-Palestine peace process in a telephonic conversation with Jewish faith leaders and Rabbis as a part of the Jewish celebration. Here are key highlights,

  • President Trump highlighted his achievements; his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and announcing U.S. intention to withdraw from United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) over anti-Israeli bias.
  • However, he highlighted to the possibility that a deal might not be reached and the peace agreement between Palestinian and Israeli will remain as the hardest one to make. But at the same time, the President remains confident that it can be achieved.
  • U.S. embassy in Jerusalem is working fully-functional with 150 employees working. The big event even made the embassy a tourist attraction.
  • Sunni Arab nations have not been that mindful of the move as many were expecting and the Jerusalem decision is currently being held hostage by the PA leaders to refuse a peace possibility.
  • President Trump intends to pay the Palestinians all the aid they are used to receiving but that will not be happening if they do not join in the negotiations.

The peace process is currently has hit a road black as Palestinian leaders have so far defied the U.S. pressure to bring them back to the negotiating table.
