Newsweek: Donald Trump Offers Palestinians $5 Billion in Aid to Negotiate With Israel, Report Reveals
President Donald Trump’s administration offered the Palestinians $5 billion in aid if they negotiate with Israel, according to a report by the Israeli business paper Globes.
The offer was an attempt by the president’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner and his special envoy Jason Greenblatt to bring Palestinians back to the negotiating table, according to the report. The two men are in charge of coming up with a Middle East peace plan that would find a solution to the longstanding dispute between Israelis and Palestinians.
Greenblatt, however, denied the claim. "Myth: Globes ‘reporting’ that POTUS is offering $5b to [Palestine] to return to the negotiating table," he tweeted.

Update: White House denies report Trump offered Abbas $5 bil. to enter peace talks (Jerusalem Post)
WNU Editor: The White House is denying these reports. What's my take? The Palestinians do not want money. They wast a state, preferable where Israel is today.

The Palestinians can have a state on the West Bank and Gaza. Singapore and Hong Kong have worked with less but succeeded.
Gaza is administered as an open-air prison. The entire coastline and all border crossing points are guarded.
A bit difficult to create Singapore on the Levant when things as innocuous as pasta and tomato paste are prevented from entering. Yeah, Isreal said no spaghetti for the Pals back around 2010.
Gods chosen people sure have some weird ideas.

What you mean to say is that both Egypt and Israel inspect everything going into Gaza, because the f*cking Revolutionary Guard likes to send Hamas rockets to shoot at Israel.
So what you have is 100% import inspections.
I am happy to refute your lie. You're welcome.
It's easy enough to find lists of prevented goods through open sources, plenty of dangerous products like wheelchairs, beans, and fishing nets.
I like the euphemism "100% import inspections", that's clever.
More like it's a prison and Israel discriminates, while confiscating land illegally. Thank me after for clearing your fake story yet again.
Gaza is an open sky prison, leaded by extremist Hamas.
Not a single square mile is occupied by Israel.
Palestinian West Bank is leaded by moderate ANP.
And they are reduced at only three "indian reserve", all the territory occupied by Israel.
What this mean?
Palestinians are struck with terrorists in one side and corrupted idiots in other side.
Israel took the moderate (and not fighting) territory, leaving Hamas as an excuse to continue his colonial (and fascist) policies.
The killing campaign is conducted even against civic organization, long time detention is used against all, even the Israeli protesters. This policy hit more the moderate than the extremists, and is in the end only the "law of the strongest".
International right? Who cares? Israel has USA.
As someone who lives in Israel, I recommend that any rational person simply come visit, and speak to the average Joes who live here. The taxi drivers, the pizza guys. Spend a week focusing on each "side". Not a tourist plan designed to give you a slanted view.
After 6 weeks of normal life here, I guarantee that 98% of people who grew up with Western values/sensitivities will come to the same set of conclusions regardless of prior leanings. I'll let you guess which side I am referring to.
Eh, what the hell: https://www.jpost.com/Jerusalem-Report/A-view-from-the-frontlines-480829
"It's easy enough to find lists of prevented goods through open sources"
And yet you provided none.
Where's the beef?
A Palestinian state seemed feasible in 2005.
Israel Pulls out of Gaza. Check #1
A few Years go by and no violence Check #2
Israel Pulls pout of the West Bank Check #3
We have two separate counties. Check #4
But in reality we never got to Check #2.
As soon as the Israelis pull out Hamas started firing rockets.
FRACK HAMAS!
George W. Bush pressured Sharon. Sharon had the gravitas as a war hero to pull it off. GWB was wrong.
FRACK HAMAS and FUCK the people, who support them!
Hamas controls Gaza. Their Charter still declares that they seek to rid the middle east of the state of Israel. In passing: there is a serious water issue developing, with pollution and salt water seeping into Gaza waters...Israel has offered to share technology etc with Gaza but they have refused on the grounds that that would recognize Israel...given the water problem and the wild demographics, there will be a human disaster in Gaza in 5 years if nothing changes.
I would like to argue with Mr. Lapides, but his post is completely factual.
So no use arguing. There is nothing to do, but agree with it.
You forgot to say that this all is Trump's fault and that Obama, the Messiah, did a better job at whatever. .impeach blabla dictator blabla
Strange, Gaza has a border with Egypt. Do you think we are all idiots here and belive the open air prison line, controlled all by Israel...? Got any decent sources to back up your pasta claim?
Yawn...
"Strange, Gaza has a border with Egypt. Do you think we are all idiots here and belive the open air prison line, controlled all by Israel...? "
Yuppers, bears repeating in bold!
Besides tell Gaza residents to be call for peace, nobody will strengthen his own enemy
