Trump’s team is reportedly in contact with the Palestinians but has set a new tone regarding negotiations with Israel.
President-elect Donald Trump’s transitional team has recently been in contact with the Palestinians on how to proceed with diplomatic negotiations.
Israel Radio, in a report on Tuesday, quoted sources within Trump’s team and among Palestinian Authority officials who affirmed that the contacts were taking place.
In the report, an unnamed “senior official” working for Trump is said to have asked a senior Palestinian official why they would object to moving the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to western Jerusalem.
The official replied that there should be a parallel move, that Washington should establish a US embassy for “Palestine” in eastern Jerusalem and one for Israel in the west side of the city.
The Palestinians envision the eastern side of Israel’s capital as its own. Moving the embassy to Jerusalem would be the final death blow to the failed peace negotiations, the Palestinians have threatened.
The Trump official reported replied that “there is no Palestine, and Jerusalem is not your capital. If you stop the incitement to terror, put in place full economic transparency, stop acting unilaterally at UN bodies and accept a US embassy in west Jerusalem, we (the US) would consider a US diplomatic mission in Ramallah and call upon the Israelis to enter into serious negotiations with you on a long-term relationship.”

Notice there are no threats. Do this and we will help you get the best offer you’re going to see. You may imagine the results of refusal. Whatever, you won’t like them.
Israel's biggest mistake was giving up the lands they rightfully won in 1967.
Instantaneous response, with clarity, direct and devastating
A hallmark of Trump responses.
bammy and kerry must be losing it over this. Trump wins, again.
Or dealing with the PLO altogether.

Trump’s team to PA: ‘There is no Palestine, Jerusalem is not your capital’
Exactly!
Yet another WIN WIN WIN for DJT! Some Truth at last. -— go Trump!!
Wow. I love this guy more every day.
Excellent. Many of our problems in the M.E. stem from the fact that the “Palestinians” never have felt defeated.
I think the phrase you’re looking for is “Someone got Schlonged.”
There are two states.
Israel and Jordan.

And there you have it. That’s the deal. Right there.
Hopefully this quote from an unnamed source is real.
It sounds real enough.
Of interest:)
We are trying to have a diplomatic crisis. You need to join in the spirit of the game that Obama is playing. Clear thinking is out of bounds. It’s recognizing the inherent ambiguities that creates the international maneuvering space. We don’t want solutions. We want 60’s style ACTION, people in sloppy dress marching with signs and all that shit.
Didn’t you get the memo? Fracking destroyed the Saudi’s oil price fixing.

I lik your analysis but at the end me of the day the Palis are getting a reminder of who carries the “big stick”.
