Ex-US President Jimmy Carter Calls on Int’l Community to Stop Trump’s «Deal of Century»

By Staff, Agencies

Former US president Jimmy Carter denounced the Trump administration's “Deal of the Century” on Friday while urging the United Nations Security Council to uphold international law and stop the “Israeli” entity from annexing West Bank territory.

"The new US plan undercuts prospects for a just ‘peace’ between ‘Israeli’s’ and Palestinians," Carter, 95, said in a statement.

"If implemented, the plan will doom the only viable solution to this long-running conflict, the two-state solution," said Carter.

He pressed UN member-states "to adhere to UN Security Council resolutions and to reject any unilateral ‘Israeli’ implementation of the proposal by grabbing more Palestinian land."

Trump presented his long-awaited plan Tuesday alongside “Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his close ally, who shortly afterward signaled he would seek to annex a large part of the West Bank.

Trump's plan recognizes “Israeli” sovereignty over most of its West Bank settlements and the Jordan Valley, as well as an undivided al-Quds [Jerusalem].

The plan also backs a Palestinian state with a capital on the outskirts of al-Quds but says the Palestinian leadership must recognize the “Israeli” entity as a “homeland” and agree to a demilitarized state.
