Trump plan in the Israel-Palestine case: The great state of Israel, fragmented Palestine

  • The proposal by the US Government to deal with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been made public this Tuesday. The project puts on the table the creation of two states, one Israeli and one Palestinian. But Israel envisages the annexation of a part of the West Bank, among other measures, which could be harmful to the Palestinians, for example.

The White House roadmap has 181 pages and reads as follows: "This approach seeks to make the State of Israel a nation-state for the Jewish people and the future State of Palestine a state of the Palestinian people, with the same civil rights for all citizens."

The map marking the plan shows a fragmented Palestinian state, with Israeli positions in its interior connected with the State of Israel through the corridors dividing the territory.

It also provides Israel with areas west of the Jordan Valley in the West Bank, so that the occupied area would be left without a direct exit to Jordan, which would join the border with the Haxemian Kingdom on two roads that would cross the territory of Israel.

"The Jordan Valley, critical to Israel's national security, will depend on Israel's sovereignty," the text, quoted by the ABC, states.

Donald Trump has spread this map in which he explains how the two states would be divided into the proposed solution.

On the other hand, Gaza and the West Bank would be connected through a tunnel through Israel.

According to the plan, "the approach envisages a Palestinian State that increases the facilities to travel within it through state-of-the-art infrastructure solutions including bridges, roads and tunnels that bring significant benefits beyond the borders of the Palestinian State".

"The Problem" of the Gaza Strip

The initiative recalls that the Gaza Strip is governed by the Islamist group Hamas, which is defined as a "terrorist group", responsible for "the murder and attacks of thousands of Israelis". For this reason, it gives Israel the sovereignty of the waters of those lands, which it considers essential for the security of the State of Israel.

And he warned that "there will be no major improvements in Gaza until there is a ceasefire with Israel, a total demilitarization of the strip and a governance structure that will allow the international community to invest safely and comfortably in its economy."

The initiative also proposes that Israel cede the territory to the Palestinians in the vicinity of Gaza, which may be "populated and uninhabited areas".

On the map drawn by the Plan, these spaces are described as "high-tech industrial manufacturing areas" and as "residential and agricultural areas", and although near the border with Egypt, they are separated from the neighboring country by a narrow border controlled by Israel.

Jerusalem and Al Quds

The White House’s proposal includes Jerusalem as “the capital of Israel,” and reiterates that “it should remain an entire city,” he said.

Furthermore, it has considered that Israel should be the guardian of the religious places of Jerusalem, both Jews and Christians and Muslims, and has advocated maintaining the "current status quo" in the region.

As for the capital of the hypothetical Palestinian State, the plan envisages that Jerusalem would be located to the east "from all areas of the east and north of the current security barriers, including Kafr Aqab, the eastern part of Shuafat and Abu Dis" and Al Quds, as the Arabs call it, or that it could be renamed with another denomination decided by the Palestinians.

This means that the possible Palestinian capital would be located in the peripheral neighbourhoods of present-day Jerusalem, but not in Palestine.

No return of refugees

The initiative also addresses one of the most thorny issues of possible negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians: the right to return refugees.

In this regard, the UN proposal states that "Palestinian refugees will not have the right to return" to the UN.

In this regard, the plan states that the Arab States have a moral responsibility to integrate refugees into their territories, just as the Jews were integrated into the State of Israel.

Economic development of Palestine?

Another proposal by the US Government is to revive the Palestinian economy by promoting the "development of property rights and contracts", anti-corruption measures, the rule of law and a fiscal structure.

It has also decided to create a free trade area between Palestine and Jordan, with the aim of "accelerating economic cooperation" in the area.
