A U.S. "Trusteeship" for the Palestinians
(Ha'aretz) Aluf Benn - In the letter President Bush sent to Prime Minister Sharon last week, the Americans demanded that the paragraph regarding borders include the condition that changes must be agreed on by both sides, giving the Palestinians a veto over the formulation of the final agreement. The U.S. has appointed itself as the guardian of Palestinian rights, as the custodian of a future Palestinian state, quietly creating an American "trusteeship" for the Palestinians.
