Friedman: PA should comply with Trump plan if it benefits Palestinians
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAsked whether he believes that the Palestinian Authority is capable of accepting any peace plan presented by the Trump administration, Ambassador Friedman says he “believes in democracy” and that “if we’re able to propose something that offers a more optimistic future to the Palestinian people” their leadership will have no choice but to comply.
At the same time, Friedman says he’s “concerned and disturbed by some of the things (PA President Mahmoud Abbas) has said.”
Abu Mazen has called Friedman a “son of a dog” and his adviser called him a “terrorist settler” on Tuesday.
