Haaretz Opinion: Trump's Mideast Plan Is a Recipe for War, Not Peace,By Diana Buttu

Diana is a Ramallah-based analyst and activist, and a former adviser to Mahmoud Abbas. 

Trump’s 'peace plan' endorses the Netanyahu doctrine that for Israel might is always right. Palestinians must refuse to engage with these fictional negotiations, with this U.S. administration, and with a bullying Israel... This is a recipe for war, not peace, and should be treated as such. 

For Palestinians, the next steps are clear: instead of shying away from holding Israel accountable, as the Palestinian Authority did in the past, we must begin pressing to ensure that Israel faces consequences for continuing to deny us our freedom and steal our land, just as the South African anti-apartheid activists pushed for an end to South African apartheid.
