Furious Abbas won't allow 'son of a dog' Trump to strongarm PA

The Beirut-based Al Mayadeen TV station on Monday reported that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, in closed-door conversations with senior Fatah officials over the past 24 hours, excoriated US President Donald Trump and his peace plan, otherwise known as the "deal of the century," in an expletive-laden tirade.

According to a member of Fatah's Central Committee, Abbas said Trump was "a dog, son of a dog … he won't threaten me. This is a sh*t person, a bastard who wants to force a plan on us that we don't want. His government is a government of dogs."

Abbas emphasized that it wouldn't be possible to force anything on the Palestinians that they don't want and that whoever dares surrender to the Americans' pressure would be considered a traitor.

"The situation won't remain as it was. I won't be a traitor. Any of the Palestinian organizations who want to be with us, we will welcome them, and those who don't – we will tell them their place isn't here," Abbas reportedly said at the meeting.

Al Mayadeen also reported that Abbas told the Egyptians that the PA's security services will allow the Palestinian public to express its objections to the Trump plan and won't prevent protesters from clashing with IDF soldiers.

PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said in Ramallah on Monday that the "deal of the century and the timing of its presentation are meant to serve Israeli and American interests only."

The PA has also reportedly urged Arab ambassadors in the US not to attend the unveiling of the peace plan on Tuesday. The officials PA news agency Wafa claimed envoys had been invited to the event, but Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh called on them to refuse, saying the Palestinians consider it "a conspiracy aimed at undermining the rights of the Palestinian people and thwarting the establishment of the State of Palestine."

Saeb Erekat, the PA's chief negotiator, told CNN on Monday that Abbas had refused a phone call with Trump to discuss the peace plan.

Elias Zananiri, the vice-chairman of the PLO Committee for Interaction with the Israeli Society, told Arab media outlets that "Trump's deal of the century is nothing less than a declaration of war on the Palestinian people."

A senior PA security official, meanwhile, speaking to Israel Hayom, warned that Hamas could attempt to exploit a possible wave of violent protests in Judea and Samaria against the Trump plan to overthrow the PA and Abbas.

According to the senior Palestinian official, the PA's intelligence apparatus has concrete reason to believe that Israel will not allow a coup in Judea and Samaria, and that in such a scenario the IDF would invade PA-controlled territories to prevent it.

The official added that in contrast to the political echelon in Ramallah, the PA's security echelon does not support outright rejection of the Trump plan. The widely held view among senior officials within the PA's security and intelligence services is that if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump both win another term in office, the Palestinians will not receive a better plan than the deal of the century and that the Palestinians should examine its details, and demand that amendments be made so that the Palestinian leadership will agree to accept it.

Another senior Palestinian security official told Israel Hayom that senior Israeli defense officials have passed on messages to their counterparts in the PA asking them to keep the flames low on the Palestinian street. According to the official, in the wake of these Israeli messages, together with the PA leadership's decision to halt protest rallies until the Trump plan is actually implemented on the ground, it had been decided, for now, to postpone "day of rage" events.
