World rejects Washington's Middle East peace plan

The US peace plan for the Middle East is increasingly looking all but dead, given that the proposal lacks justice and will not gain recognition from the international community, experts said in the wake of mounting opposition.

The European Union on Tuesday rejected parts of US President Donald Trump's plan for the troubled region. Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, said the initiative departs from "internationally agreed parameters".

His comments amounted to the latest rejection of the so-called peace plan since its announcement last month. Opposition has already been voiced by Palestine, Iran and the Arab League, as well as the United Nations.
