PA daily cartoon: Trump is Balfour - "the one with no ownership" who gives Jerusalem to "the one with no right"
Cartoon published in the official PA daily
Text on cartoon: "One who has no ownership to one who has no right"
The cartoon shows US President Donald Trump on one knee as if proposing marriage, offering Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a bouquet of flowers dripping blood and containing the Dome of the Rock and a church in a representation of Jerusalem. Netanyahu is holding his hands together in excitement with a heart next to his head indicating his emotions. Netanyahu and Trump are blindfolded with eye cutouts and dressed in prison uniforms – apparently referring to them being thieves who have stolen "Palestine" and also possibly to the fact that they are both facing legal proceedings. The accompanying text is a phrase used by Palestinians in reference to the Balfour Declaration, and echoes the PA's equation of Trump as "Balfour the Second."
