Palestinians say right of return won't be sold for cash as they interpret Bahrain finance conference as attempt to turn political issue into economic one
Palestinian PM Mohammad Shtayyeh says economic workshop in Bahrain focusing on aid for Palestine"is really going to be nonsense." Meanwhile, hundreds protest in occupied West Bank against US"deal of the century" on Mideast conflict.
Finance ministers from oil-rich Gulf Arab states, along with US Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin and International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde, are expected in Bahrain.The Palestinian Authority is boycotting the workshop, with Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh criticising the plan for saying nothing about ending the Israeli occupation.
"For America to turn the whole cause from a political issue into an economic one, we cannot accept this," he said.Led by President Donald Trump's son-in-law and adviser Kushner, the "peace to prosperity" economic workshop is billed as the opening of a long-delayed initiative that will later include political solutions hyped by US officials as "deal of the century" to solve the long intractable Mideast conflict.
Similar rallies took place in the cities of Hebron, Bethlehem, Jenin, Nablus, Tulkarm, Salfit and Qalqilya. But Netanyahu has also spoken of annexing parts of the West Bank, a prospect that could be the nail in the coffin for the creation of the Palestinian state.The Palestinian Authority is facing growing financial strains as it refuses to accept tax revenue collected on its behalf by Israel because the Jewish state is deducting millions of dollars that went to prisoners in Israeli jails or their families.
