Trump to PLO: No Negotiations, No Money Daniel Greenfield

The PLO’s terror boss just got a nice $50 million jet. He might want to look into getting a refund before he flies it too far from the lot.
Speaking in Davos, with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump had some strong words for the terrorists of the PLO’s Palestinian Authority front group.
Israel has always supported the United States. So what I did with Jerusalem was my honor. And hopefully, we can do something with peace. I would love to see it.
You know, if you look back at the various peace proposals — and they are endless — and I spoke to some of the people involved, and I said, “Did you ever talk about the vast amounts of funds, money that we give to the Palestinians?” We give, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars. And they said, “We never talk.” Well, we do talk about it.
And 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 on the table, and that money is not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace. Because I can tell you that Israel does want to make peace. And they’re going to have to want to make peace too, or we’re going to have nothing to do with it any longer.
But they have to respect the process also, and they have to respect the fact that the U.S. has given tremendous support to them over the years, in terms of monetary support and other support.
…
So we’ll see what happens with the peace process, but respect has to be shown to the U.S. or we’re just not going any further. Thank you all very much.
So Abbas’ rant doesn’t seem to have gone over well in the White House.
“Let them [the US] not do us a favor by paying us money… We do not want anyone to pay us. And may [Trump] not tweet at me on Twitter that: ‘We will not pay money to the Palestinians because they are refusing negotiations.’ May your house be destroyed.”
