Trump set to reject UN and PLO on Jews legal rights in West Bank

By David Singer - posted Wednesday, 22 May 2019

Trump's reported position on Judea and Samaria (West Bank) is a natural progression in his plan to end the 100 years old Jewish-Arab conflict.

The decades-long denial by the UN and PLO of any legal rights vested in the Jews to live in - and claim sovereignty over - any part of the 22% of the territory of former Palestine allocated to them for that purpose by the Mandate – will be ended by President Trump.

Trump would be finally restoring the League of Nations decision on Palestine to its

preeminent position in international law.

Recognizing the legally binding authority of the Mandate could prove to be one of Trump's greatest political achievements.
