In Bahrain, a Palestine to be held in the peace conference. The Palestinians do not want to participate. Their political demands were ignored. However, the conflict with money can be solved, such as Trump hopes it?
Middle East conflict: a breakthrough in Bahrain?
The reaction of the Palestinian Prime Minister, Mohammed Schtaje was clear. Any solution to the middle East conflict could be achieved by political means, he said during a meeting of his Cabinet on Monday in Ramallah. “Their basis must be to end the occupation.” The Palestinian leadership will agree to not, under any circumstances, a formula that goes it alone, therefore, to improve the lives of the Palestinians under Israeli occupation.
The words related to the end of June the planned conference in Bahrain, which has set a big goal: to end the middle East conflict. So it had made the organizer of the meeting, Jared Kushner, trump’s son-in-law and chief Advisor. But from the looks of it, held the conference in the Emirate on the Gulf without the Palestinians. Their leadership does not consider the USA as an intermediary for suitable. At the latest, since then, Trump had declared in December 2017, to want Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, recognize is the disruption of the relationship between the Palestinian authority and the White house. The break deepened even, as Trump also in March, the sovereignty of Israel over the annexed, to be recognised until 1967, Syria belonging to the Golan heights.
Only cosmetic objectives?
With his recent Declaration of Prime Minister Schtaje announced a further reason for the cancellation of the Palestinians: The conference, his impression, to strut mostly cosmetic goals. The crew should, in principle, be called into question. Instead, it is only a question to give you a slightly friendlier face.

Similarly, it also saw Deputy Premier Nabil Abu Rudeineh. “Any Plan that offers no political horizon, will not lead to peace. The Palestinians will not agree to any proposal or Plan that guarantees the existence of a Palestinian state and East Jerusalem as its capital.”
Even more so, the Secretary-General of the Palestinian liberation organization (PLO), Saeb Erekat said: “All efforts to coexist with the oppressor and the oppressed, and are doomed to fail,” he explained.
Strategy of the division?
The Trump promoted the peace plan follows the Belief that political conflicts through the use of money to solve. The basic calculus behind it is simple: Increasing the prosperity, decreases the readiness for armed confrontation. People, their material conditions improve, show little inclination to put the Reached by the use of violence risk or even lose.
The idea of a correlation between wealth and peacefulness, to meet, in principle, in an analysis of the left-liberal Israeli newspaper “Haaretz” – but only if political issues would not be of paramount importance. Exactly this requirement is not to meet but, for the Palestinians: the struggle for independence, have a high political value. Therefore, the Plan is not to go here – even more than the Netanyahu government, which controls the financial flows in and out of the Autonomous territories as far as possible, the policy of the funds to very own way at the onset. “The only goal of the ‘economic peace’ for Israel to promote a policy that wants to divide the Palestinians, to disperse and to leave their national aspirations fail,” according to “Haaretz”.

Hope for economic independence from Israel
It is also a other development is that The Palestinian authority could do with money from Qatar to Israel regardless. In January, the Qatar, said of messenger of his country’s desire to build in the Gaza strip for US $ 80 million for a substation to distribute electricity from Israel to the citizens of the Gaza strip.
This would then have to pay for it. The largest part of the money would go to Israel. A part, however, would remain in the Gaza strip and help its economy. Everything would depend then on how the PLO, this relief will deal with it. Perhaps, in Haaretz, leaving you more and more money from the small Gulf Emirate and the attempt to sever the bonds of Israel, as far as possible. Open, however, whether from the economic avert a political autonomy arises.
So, the intention is to promote the economic Situation of the Palestinian authority could abandon, to political compromises, but, ultimately, only help to maintain the Status Quo, says the Lebanese Economist Kamel Wazne. As long as the Israelis and the PLO did not accept each other politically, don’t expect a serious understanding. “Any economic growth must be preceded by a political consensus,” said Wazne in an interview with DW. The nciht is the case, trump’s project is hardly a Chance. It aims to invest in a place where all the projects could be re-to ashes,” he explains with a view to possible violent confrontations between Israel and the Gaza strip.
Arab States as a mediator?
The hopes of the White house not to rest last on improved relations between some Arab States and Israel. Washington is confident that these States could all act is Saudi Arabia, the main ally in the Region – as a mediator between Israel and the Palestinians. However, the efficiency of these efforts is likely to be limited, believed Kamel Wazne: “It is more than doubtful that this normalization is expected to bring the Palestinians to change their Position.”
The Palestinians are sticking to their political demands. The Statements from the West Bank and the Gaza strip suggest a: as Long as they are not included in the Agenda of the peace conference in Bahrain, is likely to be their contribution to the solution of the conflict in the middle East is rather poor.
