US officials led by President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner are meeting in Bahrain this week to discuss a peace plan for Israel and the Palestinians.
The conference will discuss the economic chapter of Washington’s Middle East peace plan, without the presence of Israeli or Palestinian officials.
The Palestinians have chosen to boycott the conference.
Instead the Palestinians burned Trump in effigy.
At a demonstration organized by the PLO in Bethlehem, at which Bethlehem District Governor Kamel Hamid was present and gave a speech, Palestinians hung an effigy of Trump on the gallows and later burned it as seen in the photo above and here:
The effigy’s face is a picture of Trump’s face, and it is wearing a wig meant to resemble Trump’s hair. A Palestinian flag is waving next to the effigy and a man is holding a sign:
Text on effigy’s shirt: “The Deal of the Century” and “The Bahrain Conference”
Text on sign: “Despicable Trump, your talk is like your urine.
Shut up.”
