President Trump, working through peace-plan architect Jared Kushner, has just announced a key element of the long-awaited ‘Deal of the Century’.

But why?
The question bears repeating: Why on earth would the Palestinian Authority decline a $50 billion economic aid package which would benefit their currently impoverished people?
