The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates described the new US-led economic plan for the Middle East, titled “prosperity for peace”, as the second Balfour Declaration.

RNA - “This project does not talk about the economy of the Palestinian state and its components, but tries to whitewash the occupation and settlement,” the foreign ministry said in a press release, WAFA reported.

It continued, “The [President Donald] Trump team is trying to restrict the Palestinian economy with the chains of occupation while depriving it of any opportunity to prosper and develop as an independent state economy. This [prosperity] cannot happen under occupation, settlements, the theft of the Palestinian land and the takeover of the Palestinian natural resources.”

“Day after day,” the foreign ministry added, “the reality of the American intentions and attitudes against the Palestinian people and their rights unfolds in what can be called the obnoxious Trump Declaration or the Balfour Declaration II, which denies the existence of the Palestinian people.”

“[America] is dealing with the Palestinian people as a population group that was found by accident in this place that has been given by Trump to the Israelis,” it noted.

It concluded, “The Trump administration is re-producing the Palestinian-Israeli conflict using new templates and does not seek to solve it in any way. The problem of this type of thinking is its theoretical nature and its complete alienation from reality.”
