“Deal of the Century” in the Crosshairs of the Us, Russia, Israel, and Palestine

Abstract

The Deal of a Century is a new approach to resolving Palestinian-Israeli conflicts proposed by Donald Trump. The world community has not accepted this approach. Immediately after its announcement, the plan was criticized by several journalists, experts, and politicians almost in every country of the world. And this criticism is in some cases justified — Deal of a Century is indeed cynical and risky. If it is realized Israel comes under severe pressure, even from those countries with which it was able to normalize relations. Besides, we can see a real uprising of the Palestinian population, deprived of its land, holy sites and citizenship. However, one cannot but admit that the traditional methods of resolving the PalestinianIsraeli settlement (based on the principle of compromise) led the process to a standstill. They do not work — simply because the Palestinian side does not need a realistic compromise. And perhaps in this situation, the policy of forcing a compromise pursued, by Donald Trump, is the only possible way to achieve peace in the Holy Land. Maybe not immediately, possibly through a temporary surge of violence. But a horrible end is always better than a horror without the end.
