Arab nations informed U.S. President Donald Trump's Middle East envoys that they would back a U.S. peace plan for Israel and the Palestinians regardless of whether Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas agrees to discuss it, the World Israel News website reports today (June 25, 2018).
Senior officials in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates met with White House adviser Jared Kushner and U.S. Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt recently, and conveyed this message.
They also said they have become fed up with Abbas' rejectionism. However, they made it clear that they would not be party to any deal that compromised Palestinian interests.
An enraged Abbas has declared he would refuse to meet with Trump's envoys, because Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital in December and relocated the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
