Many sticks, few carrots: Trump's Palestinian policy by MaayanLubell
JERUSALEM - A series of dramatic policy moves by U.S. President Donald Trump on sensitive issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict preceded a U.S.-sponsored workshop opening in Bahrain on Tuesday, aimed at showcasing the economic benefits a peace deal could bring.
Here are some of the steps Trump has taken that have upended longstanding U.S. policy and the international consensus on the Middle East: Since then he and his Mideast team have repeatedly refrained from endorsing the “two-state solution” - the longtime international formula which envisages an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip co-existing with Israel.
Palestinians break off ties with the White House, saying the United States can no longer be regarded as an honest broker. The United States - which had been UNRWA’s largest donor - has also proposed that the agency be effectively dismantled, and that neighbouring Arab countries hosting Palestinian refugees take over the services it provides.Palestinian protesters rally at the Gaza-Israel border, hurling stones and firebombs, with some militants trying to breach the frontier, according to the Israeli military. Dozens are shot dead by Israeli troops on the other side of the border fence.
March 25, 2019: Trump announces U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, territory that Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 war and later annexed in a move unrecognised abroad. Palestinians regard Trump’s move as yet another pro-Israel step.
