Gulf diplomatic source claims Trump will announce US recognition of Palestinian state

Saudi Arabia will host a Gulf-US summit in mid-May, part of US President Donald Trump's first visit to Saudi Arabia during his second term. This follows the summit held on May 21, 2017, during Trump's first term.

The summit, hosted by Saudi Arabia in its capital, Riyadh, was preceded by numerous predictions regarding the announcement that Trump referred to, describing it as a "very important announcement" during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the White House on Tuesday, May 6.

In addition to what Trump intends to announce, the summit's agenda and the deals and agreements expected to take place have become the talk of the town, ranging from security and military deals to technology deals and artificial intelligence deals.

All Gulf leaders are scheduled to participate in the Gulf-US summit, with the exception of King Salman bin Abdulaziz, who has not participated in public events or meetings for a long time due to his health conditions.

Will Donald Trump recognize a Palestinian state?

A Gulf diplomatic source, who declined to be named or disclose his position, told The Media Line, "President Donald Trump will issue a declaration regarding the State of Palestine and American recognition of it, and that there will be the establishment of a Palestinian state without the presence of Hamas."

The source also added, "If an announcement of American recognition of the State of Palestine is made, it will be the most important declaration that will change the balance of power in the Middle East, and more countries will join the Abraham Accords."

The source confirmed that economic agreements will certainly be present, but many of them have already been announced, and we may witness the Gulf states being exempted from tariffs.

Ahmed Al-Ibrahim, a former Gulf diplomat, told The Media Line, "I don't expect it to be about Palestine. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and King Abdullah II of Jordan have not been invited. They are the two countries closest to Palestine, and it would be important for them to be present at any event like this."

Al-Ibrahim also said, "There will be major deals coming, perhaps similar to what happened at the 2017 Gulf-US summit, with Saudi deals worth more than $400 billion. Let's not forget that the UAE announced investments in the US worth more than $1 trillion, and Saudi Arabia announced investments worth more than $600 billion."

He continued, "This is clear because President Donald Trump intends to visit the UAE and Qatar after concluding his visit to Saudi Arabia. These are two important economies with significant financial resources and major investments in the United States."

Ahmed Boushouki, a Saudi political analyst, told The Media Line, "This is about major economic deals that will take place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Perhaps US President Donald Trump hinted at this when he told the American people to 'buy stocks now, before his big announcement in the next two days.'"

Regarding the news of a peaceful US-Saudi nuclear cooperation to generate electricity in Saudi Arabia, Boushouki said, "Saudi Arabia has had a program announced since 2010, and it has been discussed several times before. International companies are now working to implement these projects in Saudi Arabia."

Plans are currently underway in Saudi Arabia to build the kingdom's first nuclear reactor, with several international companies competing to design and build the reactor. Meanwhile, the neighboring Gulf country, the United Arab Emirates, already owns the Barakah reactor and is the only Arab country with a four-reactor nuclear power plant, in collaboration with a Korean company.

Trump likes to make a splash, and recognizing Palestine would do that. Trump also wants to be known as a peacemaker, and recognizing Palestine helps him in the Arab world. Many Arab leaders want to end the distraction of the Palestinians so they can make peace with Israel. This helps advance the Abraham Accords.

So basically you are saying Trump cares more about himself than what is fact?

Not in a million years will President Trump recognize “Palestine.”

Also how would recognizing a Palestinian state help peace? It would embolden the people who want Israel dead.

That's quite a definitive source. Trump will also discuss WMDs in Iraq with the Saudis.

Kind of depends on where the Palestinian state is located.

It will not be located in Israel.

I want my own state too. I’m just as legitimately a country as Palestine is.

Location doesn’t matter.
The hatred in Arabs calling them selves Palestinians, for Israel and westerners won’t stop even if relocated.

If relocated they will hate not just Israel but the US or any country involved in decision of relocation.

Some people just want to hate and if they don’t get their way their hate gets expressed all the more.

Most Arab countries don’t want peace with Israel they just pretend and do things behind the scenes to that effect.

He is an enemy of the United States.

The U.S. recognizing Palestine appears to be the quid pro quo for Arab states to recognize Israel and normalize relations with it. So Trump, who loves to make big deals, will recognize Palestine while rejecting Hamas. Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, and Trump wants to top that by bringing peace somewhere in the world. Solving the Arab-Israli conflict would merit that award.

Still doesn’t answer the fact pretend peace is not peace. None of those countries surrounding Israel want it to exist, none truly want peace.
Yes he likes his name in lights etc but Trump doesn’t usually negotiate for pretend or what’s obvious falsehood. Trump doesn’t usually deal in that sort of deceit and backstabbing. And that’s what it would amount to toward Israel.

[Gulf diplomatic source claims Trump will announce US recognition of Palestinian state]

THIS is the only thing I don't want to see - That Old Serpent called the Devil and Satan will take advantage of a 2,520-day, 7-year (Jewish 7x360 days) to debut his Antichrist. (when the 7-year deal is "confirmed")

Seems laughable and impossible (I understand). This Mark of the Beast technology is not happening by coincidence.

Now I'm NOT saying that THIS is THAT DEAL - only that the world continues to edge closer to the fulfillment

Now these things WILL come though - for they have been prophesied - be aware, o world

Lurkers, please click on my screen name to see my homepage for additional information.

(opens in a new window if you click HERE)


And for the thread, IMHO, the 7-year Tribulation begins with Satan's Antichrist, the anti-messiah, the false messiah, the Man of Sin, the Man of Lawlessness, "confirming" (somehow) the 7-year deal of 'Peace and Security' - now will this come as a result of the war(s) that seem to be bearing down on Israel at this moment in time? I guess time will tell. FWIW

[a "two-state solution"]

A "two-state solution" is indeed coming. And it will appear to work - at first. Prepare for an "amazing event" to occur which will be under the banner of "Peace and Security"

I will not pretend to have an accurate date for it to happen. I'm only saying that it has been prophesied by God's Word and as such it WILL ......... (wait for it) .... come to pass

To me, the world just keeps on heading down this path; convinced that it's going to be a "good thing" - it will prove not to be such
