With the reveal of the Middle East peace plan by President Trump, Mahmoud Abbas, the president of Palestinian national authority expressed his strong opposition to the plan.

"Trump is a dog and the son of a dog,” Abbas said according to Fatah officials, adding: “They called me from Washington and I did not pick up the phone."

Abbas added: "I said no and I will continue to say no... We are going for difficult days and we are beginning to bear the consequences of the refusal. Resistance must be escalated at all points of friction. All young people must be encouraged.”

Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, who was present at the unveiling of the proposal, welcomed the plan and described it as a realistic path to a stable peace and great future for Israelis, Palestinians, and the region.

Among the other countries of the Middle East, the reception has been mixed. The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mohammad Javad Zarif, called it a nightmare for the region and the world. Turkey has called it “destroying the two-state solution” and “stealing Palestinian lands.”

The Iran-backed Hezbollah of Lebanon also called it a plan to steal Palestinian lands and creating societal tension.

Ayatollah Sistani, the most influential cleric in Iraq also condemned the plan.

Meanwhile, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and UAE expressed support for the plan and called it a fair solution and an important starting point for a return to negotiations.

The president of the Arab League said he will study the plan carefully and he is willing to make serious effort to achieve peace.

In Europe, France and Britain have welcomed the plan and expressed support for it while Germany has remained skeptical.
