CAIRO — The head of the Arab League warned on Monday that attempts to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be in vain without the establishment of a Palestinian state on all territories occupied by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war.
Ahmed Aboul Gheit’s comments appeared directed at a still unpublished peace plan that US President Donald Trump has dubbed the “deal of the century”.
The Palestinian leadership has rejected the proposal, saying Trump’s peace plan is likely to be heavily weighted in favour of Israel and to quash their aspirations for statehood in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
While the precise outlines of the draft plan have yet to be revealed, Palestinian and Arab sources who have been briefed on it say it jettisons the two-state solution.
“Whatever is rejected by the Palestinian or the Arab side is unacceptable,” Aboul Gheit said during an event at the Arab League.
“What is acceptable from our side as Arabs as a solution is the establishment of a Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as its capital,” he added.

Dream on ?
Israel is holding all the power. Military might and the world’s superpower in their pocket. The only potential cards that the Arabs would have would be the oil card, but that would only work with Arab Unity, which does not exist today. When King Faisal used the oil card he was successful, but times have changed. Now the Saudis are more pro-Israel than pro-Palestine.
