The Middle East Eye
A Palestinian strawberry farmer whose photo was used in a White House brochure promoting Donald Trump’s “deal of the century” has told Middle East Eye he is “insulted and angry” and has been used to promote a “dangerous political project”.
Several images of Osama Abu al-Rub, from Qabatiya, south of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, and members of his family were used on a website which was launched ahead of this week’s US-organised “Peace to Prosperity” economic workshop in Bahrain.
But Abu al-Rub, 52, told Middle East Eye that he was offended by the use of the photos and denounced the “deal of the century” as “a project aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause”.
