Trump 'completely controlled by his master in Israel': Scholar
The new Middle East plan announced by US President Donald Trump is another illustration that he is “completely controlled” by Israel and seeks to annihilate Palestine, which can only be liberated militarily, an American scholar says.
Defying international outcry, Trump on Tuesday announced the general provisions of the so-called “Deal of the Century” at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his side.
The controversial plan is a brainchild of Trump’s Jewish son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner and other key pro-Israeli figures.
“What was unveiled was Trump’s idiocy, the fact that he is being completely controlled by his master in Tel Aviv, Bibi Netanyahu,” said Kevin Barrett, an author, journalist and radio host with a Ph.D. in Islamic and Arabic Studies.
Trump’s remarks about Iran during the announcement shows that the “Islamic Republic Iran and its allies are the only thing standing between the Zionists and the completion of their genocide of Palestine,” Barrett told Press TV on Friday.
The only way to liberate Palestine will be militarily in coordination with the axis of resistance in the region, he added.
All Palestinian factions and figures, including Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, have rejected the US plan, saying it is one-sided and massively in favor of Israel.
Thousands of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and besieged Gaza Strip have rallied to condemn the plan.
Since he became president in January 2017, Trump has reversed long-standing US policies towards Israel and Palestine, which has drawn widespread international condemnation.
Trump recognized Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel’s capital in December 2017 and signed a proclamation in March recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, Syrian territory.
