Trump’s Policy Puts Peace Process Between Israel-Palestine at Risk


Egypt abruptly requested the United Nation Security Council for the delay of vote on resolution regarding Israeli settlement on Thursday apparently after President-elect Donald Trump had urged Obama administration to block the resolution.  UNSC originally was due to vote on Egyptian-drafted resolution which demands Israel to immediately and completely halt its illegal resettlement program in Palestinian territory and east Jerusalem. It was not clear how long the postponement would last, but it is reported by Reuters that Donald Trump held phone talk with Egypt’s strongman Abdel Fattah el-Sisi before delaying the UNSC vote.  

“Unfair to all Israelis”

Recently, Israeli government also called upon the US administration to vote against the resolution. In response, President-elect Donald Trump, who also promised to recognize Israel's illegal annexation of east Jerusalem, Obama administration to veto the resolution, adding that "it puts Israel in a very poor negotiating position and unfair to all Israelis."

He also believes that peace will only be brought about as long as both parties pursue direct negotiation, arguing that any imposition of conditions by UN on the party will not help anything.
  
"As the United States has long maintained peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians will only come through direct negotiations between the parties and not through the imposition of terms by the United Nations," Trump said in a statement posted on Facebook.


“Trump’s pledge to move Embassy to Jerusalem”
Early this week, Israeli ambassador to the US Ron Dermer urged US administration to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, explaining that it will be a significant step toward achieving peace and stability in the region. He denied that the move could fuel the tension and spark unrest in the region.


During the campaign trial, President-elect Donald Trump several times said that he would move the US embassy to Jerusalem and formally recognize Jerusalem as an undivided city of Israel—the move that is unpredictable and treacherous. Israel “illegally” occupied the east Jerusalem during the Six Day War in 1967, unifying the city under Israeli sovereignty. But the US and most of UN member states have never recognized the Israel's annexation of the territory since its legal status is still questionable. 

“Two-state solution is over?”

It is clear that Trump's Middle Eastern policy is at odd with that of his predecessor, Barack Obama, who has spent most of his time in office pushing for the implementation of the two-state solution.
Most importantly, Trump's policy toward Israel-Palestine conflict puts the stalled peace talks between Israel and PLO at stake, and the two-state solution is soon to be over. Palestinians’ dream of establishing their own independent state along with 1967 border is moving too far from reality.

Is US preparing for the future war in the Middle-East ?

The previous post talked about the expectation of the world war III . Today I also raise the same topic, and it clearly show that US is preparing for war in the future in the Middle-ea st. Recently, the diplomatic relation between US and some countries in the middle-east such as Syria and Iran have been recognized as the fragile relationship. Since Iran refused to negotiate and announced publicly that no super powers or International community could force him to abandon his goal of producing Nuclear weapons, the US and its alliances seem to be preparing themselves for responding to any attacks. Based on the US Defense Department, the arms deal with Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are expected to be up to $10 billion and it will provide missiles, warplanes and troop transports to help those countries for countering any future threat from Iran. US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has spent a week long to visit the region of Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirate
