...The Trump team is still formulating its peace plan—some reports suggest the White House won't unveil the details until March 2018—so Abbas is seemingly being asked to halt a popular campaign for nothing in return. It may also be that Abbas is feeling the squeeze from all sides—he was recently summoned to Riyadh for a meeting with the Saudis, who have been playing regional kingmaker of late—and that last week's announcement was part of a concerted effort to corner Abbas. If so, he is unlikely to play ball. He'll double down on his international crusade, meaning Washington may have just emboldened the Palestine 194 campaign."
