US reaches out to Palestinian leaders many angrily reject

Following weeks of violence and a crippling 11-day war in Gaza, the United States and the international community want to negotiate with Palestinians in order to restart peace efforts.

However, when US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visits on Tuesday, he will meet with Palestinian leaders who have been sidelined by demonstrations and outmanoeuvred by the militant Hamas group — and who seem to be more hated by Palestinians than at any point during their long rule.

The Palestinian Authority is no closer to statehood than it was when Mahmoud Abbas, now 85, was elected president after Yasser Arafat's death in 2005, and Palestinians are even more fragmented. When it seemed that his splintering Fatah faction would face an embarrassing loss, Abbas called off the first elections in 15 years last month.

The U.S. is not trusted by the Palestinians. Trump saw to that. Biden is not trusted by Israel. Obama saw to that. So I don’t see what part we have to play in the current mess.

the only justification for any discussions with the Fakestinian Arab terrorists is to execute them and repatriate the rest of them back to Arabia Egypt and other Arab countries

Palestine is one signature away from being a nation.
They just don’t like the strings that come with nationhood - having to pay their own bills, acknowledge Israel’s right to exist, etc.
