President Donald Trump assured the Arab leader that Israel would not allow the already occupied West Bank, NBC News said he quoted resources, in the middle of growing concerns after the movement of several countries formally recognize Palestinian statehood.
The comments came during the presentation of the 21-point Trump Plan for Peace in the Middle East Arab leaders in New York for the UN General Assembly. Politico first announced the details of the meeting.
Trump’s 21-point Peace Plan
Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, described the meeting with the leaders of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Egypt and Turkey as “productive”. When we spoke at the Concordia annual summit, Witkoff was quoted by news: “We introduced what we call Trump the 21-point Peace Plan in the Middle East.
However, it remains unclear to what specific progress have been achieved, and the previous promises of progress failed to stop Israel’s military operations in Gaza or to ensure hostage.
Annexation discussions and international reactions
Trump’s assurance came after the right -wing members of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu coalition sought to connect the West Bank, while the country, including France, Great Britain, Canada, Australia and Portugal, formally recognized Palestine.
SAE warned that annexation would be a red line, threatening the future recognition of Israel and undermining Abraham’s agreement.
Trump told reporters in an oval office: “There was enough. It’s time to stop now.”
Diplomatic position
Foreign Minister Marco Rubio met with Gulf Foreign Minister on Wednesday and emphasized the US commitment to resolve conflict:
“We clearly understand that the situation in Gaza, the situation with Israel and Gaza, is a key problem for all in this room here today. We want this conflict to end.
The ongoing conflict of Gaza
The situation in Gaza is getting worse and Israel is chasing a military campaign in Gaza. Netanyahu claimed that the Palestinian state would not be set up under its watch, and Israel has advanced plans for settlement, which it will divide on the West Bank, causing international convictions.
Palestinian perspective: Abbas UNGA addresses
Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmúd Abbas addressed the UN General Assembly through a video after the US canceled their visa last month. Abbas called the Israeli campaign in Gaza and: “War of genocides, destruction, starvation and displacement.”
He stressed that the Palestinians reject Hamasov on October 7, 2023, an attack on Israel and explained, “Hamas will not play in administration.”
Palestinian authority, noted by Abbas, is “ready to bear full responsibility for management and safety” in Gaza.
Global diplomatic consequences
Western nations, including several EU members, expressed outrage over the Israeli offensive, recognized Palestinian statehood, or considered sanctions and tariffs.
