"Trump threatens to pull aid to Palestinians if they don't pursue peace
DAVOS: U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to withhold aid to the Palestinians if they did not pursue peace with Israel, saying the Palestinians had snubbed the United States by not meeting Vice President Mike Pence during a recent visit.
Trump, speaking after a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the World Economic Forum in Davos, said he aimed for peace in the Middle East.
He said he hoped sound minds would prevail among Palestinians to pursue peace.
But then he warned: "When they disrespected us a week ago by not allowing our great Vice President to see them, and we give them hundreds of millions of dollars in aid and support, tremendous numbers, numbers that nobody understands - that money is in the table and that money is not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace.""
Can I pick a fight with this Trump even though I really do not appreciate his personality on this? NO. He talks senses here!! Why should the USA continue to provide money to the Palestine people for them to fight instead of peace??
What say the Palestine people?
