The US faces international isolation for its plan to resolve the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians

The debate on the American plan for the solution of the Israeli-Palestinian question moves to the headquarters of the United Nations and the Security Council. The problem for Washington is not to see its plan, drawn up in the three years of Trump's presidency, fail within the Security Council: this could mean for the White House a sort of international isolation on the eve of the presidential election. In fact, it must be specified that the diplomatic tactics of the Trump presidency produced a situation in which it favored the isolation that was wanted to be avoided. The need to try to close the age-old issue between Israelis and Palestinians was resolved too conditioned by the haste and pressure of Tel Aviv, whose government has been able to exploit the inclinations of the American president in charge, who, on the one hand, he wanted to secure the role of problem solver and, on the other hand, he focused on a profound difference in the relationship with Israel compared to his predecessor. The result was an unbalanced proposal in favor of Israel, which the Palestinians rejected with a result of 94% against. One of the weak points of the American plan is also that it has assigned itself the role of sole mediator between the two parties, a not at all impartial mediator, who, in fact, has chosen to favor the Israeli state, allowing a further reduction of the Palestinian territory , compared to the decrease already made in 1967. Also the will to want to make Israeli colonies legal, the product of an arbitrary removal of Palestinian soil is seen as a legal defect that prevents any development of the negotiation and that has caused the withdrawal of Palestinians from any negotiation. The United States has made an unforgivable mistake in diplomacy, wanting to take on the role of partial arbiters, which discredits them internationally and makes them responsible for the almost certain deterioration of the current situation. The USA probably realized the danger of isolation, because they exerted a very strong pressure on several international delegations but without obtaining the desired result, thus signaling an intrinsic weakness to their diplomatic action, which also denotes a dose of amateurism, scarce foresight and little knowledge of diplomatic dynamics. The Arab League has adopted a resolution, approved by all 22 members that rejects the American plan on the basis of the concept that does not meet the requirements regarding the minimum rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people, effectively closing the possibility of carrying out the project of Washington. Palestinian President Abu Abbas said that a peace imposed with these criteria is a peace that cannot be lasting and this reflection actually provides for a resumption of large-scale hostilities if Israel and the USA persist in pursuing Trump's plan by force. An opinion shared by the joint declaration of four members of the Security Council, Belgium, Estonia, France and Germany, which states that any annexation would undermine the prospects of a just, lasting and global peace. By contrast, Israel has accused the Palestinian president of not being pragmatic because he is not interested in resolving the conflict. Tel Aviv, therefore, continues on its unbalanced policy in its favor, not presenting a real will to pacify the Palestinian population.
