Trump sidelines Palestinians, as aide rules out building ties for now
2017-02-06
[IsraelTimes] Meeting unofficial representatives of Abbas, Jason Greenblatt, the administration’s special representative for international negotiations, indicated that the administration will not engage with PA until after President Trump meets Netanyahu on Feb. 15.

PA chief negotiator Saeb Erekat
...negotiated the Oslo Accords with Israel. He has been chief Paleostinian negotiator since 1995. He is currently was negotiating with Israel to establish a de jure Paleostinian state...
lashed out at the White House last Monday, telling Newsweek that if Trump’s first days in office were representative of the shape of things to come, "God help us, God help the whole world.

"We have sent them letters, written messages, they don’t even bother to respond to us," he said of the new administration.
The lack of a response is a very clear response, methinks.
On Thursday, Trump met with Jordan’s King Abdullah II at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC. According to Jordan’s official news agency Petra, the two "agreed on the need to intensify efforts to reach a solution to the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict."

#2  Note that these were "unofficial" representatives, which means that Abbas sent nobody that would commit him to anything. In response, President Trump (PBUH), only committed to hearing their side AFTER he meets with the Joos.

He built a tower in Chicago, and so got a taste of the "who sent you" mentality. Quick learner. Perhaps he would have beat Obama head-to-head.
