Velayati slams Trumps plan as 'shameful, deceptive plan of century

Press TV - A senior adviser to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has denounced US President Donald Trumps anti-Palestine Middele East scheme as the shameful and deceptive plan of the century, which is doomed to failure.

Ali Akbar Velayati, who is also secretary general of the World Assembly of Islamic Awakening, made the remarks in a Thursday statement in response to Trumps announcement of the plan that he has dubbed the deal of century.

The statement was released prior to a presser by Velayati on the matter.

While condemning the so-called deal of the century, the World Assembly of Islamic Awakening considers it necessary for all Palestinian factions to close their ranks as a comprehensive strategy aimed at thwarting the ominous goals of Trumps plot, he added.

He referred to the Palestinian cause as the most important issue facing the Muslim world, saying Muslims are obliged to throw unequivocal support behind Palestine by using all material, spiritual and media capacities, public diplomacy, holding rallies and enlightening public opinion.

Defying international outcry, Trump on Tuesday announced the general provisions of the plan at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his side.

The scheme which all Palestinian groups have unanimously rejected largely meets Israels demands in the decades-old conflict, while creating a Palestinian state with limited control over its own security and borders.

It enshrines Jerusalem al-Quds as Israels undivided capital and allows the regime to annex settlements in the occupied West Bank and the Jordan Valley, among other controversial terms.

Velayati further warned of the repercussions of such a plan, including destabilizing the region and violating numerous UN resolutions on the Palestine case.

In order to make up for the USs failed policies meant to ensure the security of Israel, the Trump administration made an attempt to secure the objectives of international Zionism lobby by fueling instability in the region.

The deal of the century will lead nowhere, but rather consolidate unity in the Muslim Ummah and muster support for the oppressed Palestinian nation from the worlds freedom- and justice-seeking people and the entire international community, Velayati said.
