'This is a political ploy by both leaders to distract from their abuse of power,' IfNotNow's Emily Mayer said, referring to Trump and Israel's Netanyahu.
that Trump's administration had already"contradicted international law on the illegality of Israeli settlements, the annexation of the Golan Heights and the status of Jerusalem, while cutting massive amounts of humanitarian aid to Palestinians."
J Street, a liberal pro-Israel advocacy group, started the hashtag #PeaceSham on Twitter ahead of the president's announcement with Netanyahu."This is not a peace plan. It is a #PeaceSham," the group tweeted on Tuesday. "If we have learned anything from the peace negotiations of the past three decades, it is that solutions cannot be imposed from the outside. They must be mutually agreed upon by the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority," Soifer toldin a statement."In the absence of such negotiations, imposed measures will impede future prospects for peace."
Under Trump's plan, Palestinians would be offered statehood with a capital in East Jerusalem where, the president promised, the U.S. would build an embassy. While Trump said the plan would more than double territory under Palestinian control and allow for billions in investment, it would also allow for Israel's government to maintain control over Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which are considered illegal under international law.
