Palestinians Protest Trump's Mideast Peace Conference

Associated Press

   BETHLEHEM, WEST BANK - Palestinians burned effigies of President Trump
   and marched a donkey pasted over with images of Gulf royals in the West
   Bank on Tuesday, as the U.S. prepares to open its conference in
   Bahrain, which focuses on the economic portion of the White House's
   long-awaited plan for Mideast peace.

   At this week's conference, the Trump administration hopes to draw
   pledges from business leaders and wealthy Gulf states to fund its
   economic plan, which calls for $50 billion of investment and
   infrastructure projects in the West Bank, Gaza and neighboring Arab
   countries.

   "Palestine is not for sale!" protesters chanted as they filled the
   streets of major West Bank cities. "From Bahrain to Saudi Arabia we are
   not tempted by your millions!"
