It seems likely "Deal of the Century" to be a severe blow to the basic rights and just demands of Palestinians: Noam Chomsky
Tehran (KNA) - Khabar Foori News Agency have had an Exclusive interview with Noam Chomsky about "Deal of the "century.
US President Donald Trump has announced a "deal of the century" to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The plan is to be revealed at an undetermined date some¬time after the Israeli parliamentary elections.
While the details remain a well-kept secret, the US Administration's record to date suggests that the initiative will pri¬ori¬tise Israeli interests over Palestinian rights, ignore fundamental principles of inter¬national law.
On the other hand, Iran's security chief says a US-devised plan targeting the Palestinian nation, dubbed "the deal of the century," will definitely end in failure.
But now the question is "what is the purpose of Trump to continue the deal?"
In this regard, we have had an exclusive interview with the American philosopher, Noam Chomsky
Q. As definitely you know, Trump announced that 'Deal of the Century' Is Coming. What do you think about this deal? Is it useful for Palestine? Is it practical at all or just another show by the president of the USA?
A. We haven't seen the details, but from what has appeared it seems likely to be a severe blow to the basic rights and just demands of Palestinians.
Q. Do you think that Islamic countries could stop Trump and his Deal or decide to cooperate with US?
A. The dictatorships appear to be cooperating (especially Saudi Arabia, UAE and other Arab countries in the Middle East).
Q. Is it possible that Trump is doing so to satisfy Israel for protecting him for 2020 election?
A. There is an electoral concern. In the US, evangelical Christians are a huge voting bloc, and they passionately support Israel. And there are rich donors who do as well.
