Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren reject Trump's plan
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, two leading Democratic presidential candidates, have poured scorn on Donald Trump's plan to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In a statement, Sanders said Trump's proposal was unacceptable and only perpetuates the conflict.
"Any acceptable peace deal must be consistent with international law and multiple UN Security Council resolutions. It must end the Israeli occupation that began in 1967 and enable Palestinian self-determination in an independent, democratic, economically viable state of their own alongside a secure and democratic state of Israel," the statement read.
Warren called the plan a "rubber stamp for annexation" which offers no chance for a real Palestinian state.
"Releasing a plan without negotiating with Palestinians isn't diplomacy, it's a sham. I will oppose unilateral annexation in any form—and reverse any policy that supports it."
