Aide to Palestinian president mocks Trump’s peace efforts
[ARABNEWS] US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s hard-line approach to the Paleostinians is similar to herding cows for slaughter, a top Paleostinian official said Tuesday.

The comments came a day after the US leader welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington and ahead of the expected launch of Trump’s plan for Israeli-Paleostinian peace.

"Today what is happening with us is what you call in the United States a cattle shoot trap," Mohammad Shtayyeh, an adviser to President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

, told journalists in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

"They bring the cattle in a yard with one single exit, with a man on a horse and a whip. And they keep pushing the cow into the trap. By the time every single cow gets through, it is shot in the head with an electric gun, then goes in a belt to the slaughtering house, then we eat it as hamburger.

"With the Paleostinians, what is happening is exactly the same."

He listed off a number of controversial Trump decisions, including December’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and his freezing of tens of millions in dollars in funding for the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees, as evidence of a systematic attempt to squeeze them.

Both the Paleostinians and Israel see Jerusalem as their capital and the US decision to move its Israeli embassy there prompted the Paleostinians to say the White House could no longer be the primary mediator between the two sides.

On Monday during a meeting with Netanyahu, Trump said he might attend the opening of the embassy in May.

Despite the poor relations with the Paleostinians, the White House is still expected to present a proposal for Israeli-Paleostinian peace in the coming weeks.

"The Paleostinians, I think, are wanting to come back to the table very badly," Trump said as he sat alongside Netanyahu at the White House.

"If they don’t, you don’t have peace. And that’s a possibility also."
