Palestine Liberation Organisation warns Israel rushing to enforce Trump's 'act of hostility' against Palestinians

PALESTINIAN leaders accused Israel of rushing to implement US President Donald Trump’s so-called “deal of the century” today and condemned an “economic war” against Gaza and the West Bank.

The Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was intent on moving ahead with the details contained in Mr Trump’s  “peace plan,” which it blasted as an “act of hostility” against the Palestinian people.

The plan was unveiled by Mr Trump last week at a White House press conference with the Israeli leader at his side. No Palestinian representatives were present.
