Jared Kushner

President Trump’s fraudulent Middle East deal runs roughshod over Palestinian rights, harms long-term Israeli interests, and is only the latest example of the US arrogance and disdain for international law. Essentially Trump’s offer, negotiated without any Palestinian input, requires the Palestinians to sell out their hopes for justice and a decent life free of occupation for money. Trump was attempting to satisfy Israel and its US supporters, including many of his big money donors, with this deal that would allow Israel to steal even more Palestinian land.

In this video, we look at ‘Trump & Sons’ supposed landmark ‘Deal of the Century’ for Israel and Palestine. On closer inspection it’s already an unmitigated political disaster for the White House, and not much better for Tel Aviv either. For the Palestinians and their supporters around the world, it’s completely unacceptable.

21WIRE editor Patrick Henningsen joins UK Column’s Mike Robinson to deconstruct Washington’s latest failed endeavor. Watch:

The Trump “Vision for Peace” will never be implemented – and not because the Palestinians reject it. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s enthusiastic public embrace of the plan belies the fact that the Israeli right detest it too.
The headlines are that, with US blessing, Israel’s dream is about to be realised: it will be able to annex its dozens of illegal settlements in the West Bank and the vast agricultural basin of the Jordan Valley. In return, the Palestinians can have a state on 15 per cent of their homeland.

Maybe something good will come out of the Trump plan, after all. By pushing the Middle East peace process to its logical conclusion, Donald Trump has made crystal clear something that was supposed to have been obscured: that no US administration has ever really seen peace as the objective of its “peacemaking”.

The White House and the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are calling it the ‘Deal of the Century,’ but for Palestinians living under Israel’s military occupation and brutal apartheid system,

Is Israel US property? In many ways, yes. Despite its willful ways, Israel is always pushing the envelope with the US. It has been getting away with murder since it was founded, abetted and funded by the US. But the US has failed, and Jared Kushner is the perfect envoy for this latest ultimatum, crafted by Netanyahu for his buddy Donald and his Orthodox Jewish son-in-law.

After three and half years of chutes and ladders, Brexit is finally here with pundits touting a ‘New Dawn’ for Britain, but will anything change? Also, we look at Trump & Sons supposed landmark ‘Deal of the Century’ for Israel and Palestine – on closer inspection it’s already an unmitigated political disaster for the White House, and not much better for Tel Aviv either. 
UK Column News co-hosts Mike Robinson and Patrick Henningsen with this week’s top stories. Watch:

BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:00 A.M.) – The Israeli Defense Minister, Naftali Bennett, stated that Israel should have sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, stressing that Israel will not recognize the Palestinian state under any circumstances after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the details of his plan for peace in the Middle East.
“Israeli sovereignty must be in all the lands of Judea and Samaria,” Bennett wrote in a tweet. “We will not allow recognition of the Palestinian state under any circumstances.”

Did anyone ever think when Trump put his wormy and corrupt son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in charge the Middle East that peace between the Palestinians and Israelis would be nigh? It isn't. His peace plan is a p.r. stunt and con job that has already been rejected by the Palestinians.

“Israel has ignored warnings by the United Nations that Gaza is about to become uninhabitable, acting as if Palestinians there can be caged, starved and abused indefinitely. Now crises are unfolding on all fronts – social, economic, political and humanitarian – and Israel is running out of time to find solutions.” – AMEU (September-October 2019)
