Erekat said that the Trump administration was siding with Israel on the core issues of the decades-old conflict, burying all chances for Middle East peace.

“I don’t think they will ever introduce a plan,” Erekat said in an interview with Reuters in Jericho. “The whole world is rejecting their ideas. They are already implementing their plan by changing the terms of reference,” he said.

It appeared that the United States has accepted Israel’s positions on other main issues of the conflict, and not just AL-Quds (Jerusalem), including the fate of millions of Palestinian refugees from wars dating to 1948 and occupied Israeli settlements, Erekat added.
