The Palestinian leadership in Ramallah understands that the die has been cast. The new friendships between Israel and Arab countries are a definite fact. Either the Palestinians adapt to the new reality or they face a new and strange front, Israel united with Arab countries. This is alien to them, and that is why Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas must take a new direction.
In line with that thinking, Abbas turned down the request by Christian Palestinian politician Hanan Ashrawi to take over the job of the late Saeb Erekat, who served for many years as chief negotiator in the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations. “He wants something new, not the same,” said Israeli journalist and Middle East expert Ehud Yaari.

Israel’s military occupation of Palestine continues in its 53rd year. In particular, Palestinians in Gaza are suffering under a callous siege. The U.S. administration has withdrawn aid for Palestinian hospitals in East Jerusalem and for the United Nations’ humanitarian work in the occupied Palestinian territory.
President Trump’s so-called peace proposal is little more than a justification for the occupation and a false promise of prosperity to Palestinians at the cost of their freedom and independence. In spite of promises to the contrary in recent peace deals with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, Israel’s annexation of Palestinian land and resources continues with the recent approval of 3,000 new settlement homes in the West Bank.
