Palestinians condemn Trump's proposed peace plan

Fatah has come out swinging against what it says is the US administration’s unilateral effort to impose a Mideast peace plan that greatly favors Israel.

Fatah, the leading Palestinian liberation movement, has launched a well-coordinated campaign designed to defeat Washington’s proposed plan to bring peace to the Middle East. Palestinian leadership totally rejects the proposal and cut off all communications with Washington after it moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Jamal AlMuhisin, a member of Fatah's powerful Central Committee, told Al-Monitor the campaign has many aspects. “It will include public demonstrations throughout Palestine, petitions against the deal, and wide-ranging media and publicity [efforts]," AlMuhisin said.
