PA Moves to Block U.S. Peace Plan
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - There is growing concern in the Palestinian Authority that some Arab countries may not support its position of vehement opposition to the U.S. peace plan. Worse, PA officials are worried that the U.S. may be seeking to establish an alternative Palestinian leadership that would accept the deal. That's why the PA is now focusing on ensuring that no Arab country or Palestinian personality take a stance contradicting its official position of opposition to the plan. Ramallah-based officials are particularly worried that key Arab countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE, have thus far failed to endorse the Palestinians' fierce opposition to what they call the "biggest conspiracy to liquidate the Palestinian cause and national rights." The officials have made it clear that any Palestinian who agrees to work with the Trump administration will be considered a traitor.
