Conditions for eating a loaf of bread as the proverb says "If it is whole do not divide it, and if it is divided do not eat, but eat until you are full"
I hereby present the continuation of the summary of Section Two (Item 2) of Part One of the political framework from the summary of the texts of the Deal of the Century.....And as I read the texts of the deal, the proverb that came to mind — and which represents the state and image of submission that they want us — the owners of the New United Nations — to be in.!!. The above proverb... it is the conditions for eating the bread!!. But we are never subjugated......!! They want us to move away from reading the previous unproductive narratives about the conflict, to look forward and seize the opportunity!!...and they teach us that Israel was not responsible for the lack of opportunities for prosperity and peace for the Palestinians, but the responsible party is the perpetual hostility of the surrounding Arab states that did not recognize Israel at its birth.. rather they met it with terrorism..!!...while one must acknowledge that the State of Israel has indeed withdrawn from at least 88% of the territories it seized in 1967 in a defensive war imposed upon it...!!..Diminishing names and assigning labels is a malicious policy, for the word "dispute" instead of "Israeli occupation" means that the dispute is between two parties each having full legal right to the disputed lands....and of course there is no mention of lands or occupied lands....nor is the Palestinian cause mentioned as a cause up for discussion or on the table, but rather the dispute between the Palestinians..and the Israelis...!!, and it seems that we retreated and conceded without compensation over a long period of negotiations hoping to get something in our favor...so there was not even implementation of the Oslo provisions and the interim period, we amended the charter, and we conceded much...and we altered maps of geography..and we altered the sermons of the imams of houses of God and their temples, so the phrase "Israeli occupation" is only mentioned in involuntary outbursts ...by some imams...we avoided being labeled anti-Semitic ..and we are Semitic, they try to regulate our laws..and our terminology...to delete the word martyr ..or to grant a salary to his honorable family ..or to prisoners..whom they call terrorists..while they are prisoners defending their life cause..and the lives of their peoples...we became, under threat, to review the naming of streets, so if we name a street after one of the martyrs, male or female, who sacrificed their lives for their homeland...they oppose ..and call this incitement.....They forced us under threat not to go initially to the international courts...to look for someone among the Franks to support us after our own kin refused to provide us with the allocated funds...They forced us not to exaggerate in writing the name of our national authority the Palestinian..and "national" must not be mentioned in their external correspondence..you are forbidden to choose your national anthem ..such as Biladi....forbidden and forbidden...they arrested our deputies in the Legislative Council..they agreed for us to hold elections...., they besieged our people in Gaza...a siege that still exists and they are forbidden to leave the boundary respite with our kin...whose injustice was more bitter than the oppressor's.....and they silenced our prayer calls ..in our holy city..and our brothers in God did not support us..except a little...and...and...a series of repression, blackmail, racial discrimination, annihilation and the burning of our children.....and our trees...and with all these accumulated strokes....they unveiled the veil on the Deal of the Century....to end the history...of a people and a sacred cause ..and to erase all accumulated rights...to exalt the banner of falsehood..and they whisper in our ears that your Arab brothers ..agree to the deal, and will finance it...but they're not going to say ..to preserve feelings..and they unveiled in some clauses that the Arabs were annoyed by Palestinian-Israeli disputes, and that the Palestinian cause — expression of my own — became a financial burden ..on our brother Arab rulers..meaning that they got tired .....and there are, as they whisper, agreements and papers and undeclared understandings...they relied on which date back decades earlier...they want us to sign the agreement....and if we do not.!!..then we will not....!! On what .??.We sign over what remains as President Abu Mazen said yesterday in Cairo at the meeting of the Council of Arab Foreign Ministers, that it represents 11% of the lands of historic Palestine...and that the map that resembles a triangle from the triangles of Swiss cheese!! ..as President Abu Mazen said..yesterday at the aforementioned meeting...that the loaf of bread you want us to eat..to soothe our hunger ..during a period of 10 years..but to eat it under conditions...and that you must not eat the loaf whole ..it is forbidden for you to eat an entire loaf..intact, nor to break off a piece...to try ..to obtain a morsel ...but there is a condition and a closed option ..that we eat until we are full....!! The Farce of the Century !! By God ...and they tell us ..you must be flexible..you lost for yourselves the Partition Resolution in 1947..do not lose for yourselves the Deal of the Century 2020. You must think outside the box...!!..No!! We will remain, by God, in our box..and in our granaries and in our temples and in our sessions and in our subconscious minds....we teach our children our heritage and our history and we draw our maps freely and teach them our sublime religious rituals...away from any ability to recruit our children into Daesh and Al-Qaeda that they created and then chased..according to position and demand...!!!..We will suppress our anger ...and distract them ...and without letting the censor's scissors intervene.....!!

Summary of the texts....
Approach
We do not believe that the parties in the region are destined to continually live in perpetual conflict because of their ethnic and religious differences. There have been many examples in the history of Jews and Arabs, and Jews and Muslims and Christians, who lived in relative harmony in this region. Our hope is that this vision will inspire a future in which all the peoples of the region live in peace and prosperity.
We developed this vision based on the belief that a peaceful and prosperous future can exist for both Palestinians and Israelis. This vision aims for people to read how its concepts will actually, and significantly, improve their lives. And we believe that both sides will gain more than they give.!! Based on this approach, we encourage everyone to be intellectually honest and open to new ideas, and willing to engage in this vision, and to take courageous steps toward a better future for themselves and for coming generations. Learning from previous efforts, and driven by practical principles, we address this conflict guided by the following points:Overview of United Nations Efforts:
Since 1946, there have been nearly 700 resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly and more than 100 United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding this conflict. United Nations resolutions have sometimes been inconsistent, and sometimes time-limited.!! These resolutions did not achieve peace. Moreover, the various parties offer conflicting interpretations of some of the most important United Nations resolutions, including Security Council Resolution 242. In fact, the interpretations of jurists who worked directly on the decisive United Nations resolutions have differed in their meaning and legal effect.!!
While we respect the historical role of the United Nations in the peace process, this vision (Trump Vision) is not a mere recital of General Assembly and Security Council resolutions, and other international decisions on the subject, because those resolutions did not and will not resolve the conflict.!! Those resolutions have enabled political leaders for far too long to avoid addressing the complexities of this conflict rather than enabling a real path to peace
Current Realities:
Both Israelis and Palestinians have long-standing negotiating positions, but they must also acknowledge that flexibility is necessary to move forward. It is inevitable that each side will support or oppose aspects of this vision (Trump Vision); it is necessary that this vision be evaluated as a whole. This vision offers a set of compromises that both parties should study in order to move forward and pursue a better future from which all parties in the region can benefit,
No peace agreement will be concluded until each side recognizes that it is better off with a peace agreement than without one, even if that requires difficult concessions. Peace between Israelis and Palestinians will yield significant social and economic improvements and stability and security for both Israelis and Palestinians. - There are those who benefit from the status quo, and therefore seek to prevent change that would benefit both sides.
Reading the previous narratives about the conflict is unproductive. To resolve this dispute, the solution must be forward-looking and devoted to improving security and quality of life, while respecting the historical and religious significance of the region for its peoples
Limited framework agreements and vague proposals, which are considered tightly drafted and include only high-level concepts while leaving disputes to be resolved later, have not succeeded. This vision addresses directly all the major issues in an attempt to truly resolve the conflict. Resolving this conflict will not resolve all other disputes in the region. However, resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will remove the pretext used to inflame sentiments and justify extremist behavior by bad actors and will have a positive effect that increases stability, security, and prosperity in the region. The Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement will also profoundly affect Israelis and Palestinians. Israelis and Palestinians are the ones who will have to live with the consequences of a peace agreement.
Therefore, the Israelis and Palestinians themselves must be satisfied with the benefits and compromises that a peace agreement entails. Israelis and Palestinians must assess these benefits and compromises, which can create a much better future for themselves and for future generations, against the continuation of the conflict for possibly many more generations. The United States' role as a facilitator in this process was to gather ideas from around the world, compile them, and propose a detailed set of recommendations that can realistically and appropriately resolve the conflict. The role of the United States is also to work with other well-intentioned countries and organizations to help the parties reach a resolution to the conflict, but only the Israelis and Palestinians can decide to establish a lasting peace together.
The final specific details of an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement must be determined directly between the parties. The major fault line in the Middle East today is between leaders who want to create economic opportunity and a better life for their peoples, and those who manipulate religion and ideology to foment conflict and fabricate excuses for their failures. This vision aims to respect ideology, religious beliefs, and historical claims, but it focuses primarily on placing the interests and aspirations of the people first. We have entered a new chapter in Middle Eastern history, in which courageous leaders understand that new and shared threats have created a need for greater regional cooperation, which the Trump administration has strongly encouraged.
The Arab states in the region have become held hostage by this conflict, and recognize that it represents a financial obligation that can be called upon if it remains unresolved. Many Arab states are ready to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict and wish to establish a partnership with Israel and focus on the serious issues facing the region.
Ambitions and legal aspirations of the parties:
While the Palestinians never had a state at any time, they have a legitimate desire to govern themselves and determine the fate of their state; any practical peace agreement must address the Palestinians' legitimate desire for self-determination. This vision addresses these legitimate concerns, among other things, by allocating territory for the future within the Palestinian state, strengthening Palestinian institutions of self-government, providing Palestinians with the legal standing and international status of a state, ensuring robust security arrangements, and building an innovative network of roads, bridges, and tunnels that enable freedom of movement for Palestinians.
The State of Israel has a legitimate desire to be the national state of the Jewish people and to have that status recognized worldwide. This vision seeks mutual recognition of the State of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people, and of the State of Palestine as the nation-state of the Palestinian people, in each case with equal civil rights for all citizens within each state. This vision aims to secure recognition and normalization from those states that do not currently recognize the State of Israel or that have a relationship with the State of Israel. It also.aims to secure recognition and normalization from those states that do not currently recognize the State of Palestine or that have a relationship with the Palestinians.
