Journalist, Nazir Majli, saw that the Deal of the Century was made by the United States in order to be rejected by the Palestinians, explaining the fact that it was not in line with the Palestinian minimum rights.
 

However, during his interview with North-Press, Majli called on the Palestinian Authority not to rush in its rejection of the deal, stressing the necessity of reading it item by item, so that the good terms, reservations or amendment of "bad" and "unfair" items are praised.

Majli believes that the Israeli leadership does not want the 'deal of the century' even if it shows the opposite, which requires appropriate tactical efforts from the Palestinian side to reveal the truth of the Israeli position. The Palestinian's absolute rejection of the deal saves Netanyahu, according to Majli.

For his part, the Jordanian writer Munzer Hawarat told North-Press that Trump's "sweet" words for the Jordanian King Abdullah II, conceal a veiled warning to the kingdom, that the time for play is over, and that it must make concessions and coherence to the deal of the century, otherwise pressure will be intensified.

In turn, the former Bahraini minister Dr. Ali Fakhro, believes that the appropriate Palestinian response to the 'deal of the century' should be through announcing the withdrawal from Oslo Agreement and all the agreements concluded with Israel, indicating to North-Press that without this, the possibilities of the implementation of the deal of the century would increase.

Moreover, the President of Palestinian National Authority Mahmoud Abbas said in his speech during the emergency leadership meeting at the presidential headquarters in Ramallah, yesterday evening, in response to the announcement of "Trump deal" that the 'deal of the century' will not be implemented.

Abbas added, "We will not accept the establishment of a Palestinian state without Jerusalem, stressing the immediate start of taking all measures that require changing the functional role of the authority, in implementation of the decisions of the central and national councils."

Furthermore, the American plan for peace in the Middle East, announced by President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening, was met with varying international, Arab and regional attitudes, of reject, support and invitations into studying of the plan before any judgments.

Trump said that his deal includes the establishment of a Palestinian state with a capital in East Jerusalem, as well as investments in millions of dollars, but many details were vague in his deal, and did not explain his concept of the future Palestinian state.

Within the Palestinian responses to the Trump deal, the member of the Central Committee of Fatah movement Hussein al-Sheikh, announced that the President of the Palestinian National Authority Mahmoud Abbas has decided to send a delegation to the leaders of Gaza Strip next week, to start a comprehensive national dialogue with Hamas on ending the division, and ways to confront the American deal that the Palestinians describe as "unfortunate" as it violates the international legitimacy decisions.
