TEHRAN (IQNA) – A member of the political wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement stressed the role that Muslim scholars can play in thwarting the US-proposed so-called “deal of the century” plan.

 

Speaking at a meeting of the movement’s members on Tuesday, Sheikh Nafiz Izam said scholars and preachers ought to raise awareness among Muslims about the US-Zionist plan, Palestine Today website reported.

He added that they should also explain to Muslims worldwide that countering the plot is not only a responsibility of the Palestinian people but it is an Arab and Muslim issue.

US President Donald Trump in January unveiled his long-delayed Middle East plan, a proposal Palestinian leaders called a “conspiracy” that “will not pass”.

Following Trump’s announcement, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said “a thousand no’s to the plan.

The American plan has sparked widespread international condemnation.

The deal of century ploy, fronted by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, had already been rejected by the Palestinians, who say the White House’s policies have been blatantly biased in favor of Israel.
