$150bn price of peace

Middle East observers are speculating over whether President Trump’s so-called ‘Deal of the Century’ will include $150 billion compensation for property left behind by some 850,000 Jews forced to flee Arab nations in 1948 when the new-born Jewish state came under immediate attack from its neighbours. The Knesset (Israeli Parliament) passed a law in 2010 requiring the inclusion of reparations as part of any peace deal.
