JERUSALEM (JNS) — Senior PLO official Saeb Erekat on Saturday strongly criticized the U.S. administration’s Middle East peace plan, dubbed the “deal of the century,” which is set to be revealed on Tuesday.

Any deal or initiative that denies Israel is an “occupying force,” said Erekat, will go down in history as “the fraud of the century.”

“Reminder to the International Community: Israel is an Occupying Power of the State of Palestine on the 1967 borders (East Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza Strip). Any deal, attempt or dictation that ignores this fact, will be recorded in history as the fraud of the century,” he posted on Twitter.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that his administration will unveil its long-awaited peace plan on Tuesday, ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White Party leader Benny Gantz’s arrival in Washington.

Various other Palestinian leaders reacted similarly to the announcement, including Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah member Osama al-Qawasma, who condemned the plan outright.

In response to the P.A.’s dismissal, Trump’s former assistant and Middle East envoy Jason Greenblat tweeted, “So very typical, rejecting something you haven’t seen, unwilling to act rationally/professionally, unrealistic demands that won’t happen, never thinking about Pals and improving lives. What a shame you act in this unprofessional way. Palestinians deserve SO much better!”

YOUR’E the fraud of 2 centuries. There ARE no Palestinian people. When Jews immigrated to the yishuv,which belongs to us since Almighty swore it to the Jewish people , you guys did the same from Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Trans Jordan. You were offered peace and land and you rejected it each and every time. The game’s over.

No such historical fact as Palestinian people just a bunch of arabs
And they say no historical connection of jews to yerushalayim and israel despite history and archeology
They are the biggest lie fake of the century

Saeb Erekat is a snake; when Ehud Barak offered Arafat a far more generous offer to the Palestinians than is being offered now, he rejected it. As Eban Eban once stated “The Palestinians never miss an opportunity, to miss an opportunity”.
