Message delivered by Mayor of Efrat, Oded Ravivi to AFL, American Friends Of Likud, on June 29, 2020.

At 7:41-8:51, Oded referenced “preliminary conditions” that the Trump plan requires of the PLO , The Palestine Liberation Organization, before the four years of negotiations are scheduled to commence between the PLO and israel..

The PLO shows no sign of fulfilling Trump’s preliminary conditions mentioned by Oded : Demilitarization of Judea and Samaria, and the cessation of payments to families of murderers.

Only last week, the PLO established a new bank to expedite payments to convicted killers and their families – so as to circumvent the threat posed by the IDF to shut down normative banks that Arabs usually would use.

Please see the report of this new bank for killer payments, issued by Israeli intelligence.

The question remains: Will the US follow through on the two requirements of the US peace plan:

Nullification of the unprecedented law which grants a gratuity to the family of anyone who murders a Jew, and to the killer himself- for life.

Cancellation of the new PLO curriculum which glorifies the murder of Jews.

As Mayor Revivi mentioned, these US clauses are couched as a “predicate” to US recognition of the PLO entity.

This presents an opportunity for supporters Israel to ask the President to to act upon these preconditions.
