The new Palestinian Authority prime minister has now said the American peace plan purported to be in the works will be “born dead.”

In his first interview with the international media since taking office over the weekend, Mohammad Shtayyeh accused the United States of declaring “financial war” on his people.

He laid out plans to get through the financial crisis he has inherited and predicted that the international community, including US allies in the Arab world, would join the Palestinians in rejecting President Donald Trump’s expected peace plan.

“There are no partners in Palestine for Trump. There are no Arab partners for Trump and there are no European partners for Trump,” Shtayyeh said during a wide-ranging hour-long interview.

“Israel is part of the financial war that has been declared upon us by the United States. The whole system is to try to push us to surrender and agree to an unacceptable peace proposal,” Shtayyeh said. “This a financial blackmail, which we reject.”

Despite the tensions with Israel and the US, Shtayyeh said the Palestinians remain committed to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on areas captured by Israel in the 1967 war.

That includes establishing a capital in East Jerusalem, which Israel has annexed and claims as part of its eternal capital.
