While America could leave the Arab Palestinians (AP) to their fate
(which is their right under self-determination), America hasn't left them just yet. But, at some point, America will have to re-assess it's political connection to the AP and the results. It is gradually becoming of no practical diplomatic value.
No matter how bad the AP (and associates) talk about America, the future actions (pol-mil) will be drive by the new realities set.

The fact that America has tried to help resolve the issues that stand between the peace - and - the continuation of the conflict, does not mean that America has a responsibility to develop and implement a solution.
Just another flop in the works.
Move along folks. There is nothing to see here.
Typical Tinmore, calls for war and has no interest in solutions.
Of course I want solutions, but you won't get them from trump.
I can tell you the so called peace plan if you ask.

America could, at any time, wash its hand completely - removing the grime of the Arab Palestinian totally away. And in doing so, we would not be discarding any obligation to the Arab Palestinian.

The grime? Nice way to talk about people.
(COMMENT)
Officially the US does not maintain diplomatic exchanges or consular services with the State of Palestine.
The
United States of America does not recognize the
State of Palestine and therefore officially maintains no diplomatic exchanges nor consular services with Palestine.
In this particular discussion, the "grime"
(ingrained on the surface of American Foreign Policy in the Middle East) is placed on America by the Arab Palestinians as an economic
(and political) weight or burden. In the CY 2018, this set of economic contributions
(in excess of a half-Billion Dollars) changed as a direct result of :
Congressional Research Service said:
◈ Reprogramming $231.532 million of FY2017 bilateral economic assistance that was originally intended for the West Bank and Gaza (including $25 million for East Jerusalem hospitals) for other purposes.
◈ Ending U.S. humanitarian contributions to UNRWA. U.S. funding in FY2018 totaled $65 million, contrasted with $359.3 million in FY2017.
◈ Deciding to prevent Palestinians from participating in a Conflict Management and Mitigation program (CMM) funded by USAID and the U.S. embassy in Israel. Programs involving Israelis and Palestinians generally receive $10 million annually.
◈ Nonlethal U.S. security assistance for the PA security forces has continued, as has PA security coordination with Israel, but a majority of Palestinians support recent PLO recommendations to end the coordination.

The aid was
(just one of several actions on) a temporary measure with the objective of helping to encourage
(along with other international diplomatic initiatives) the Arab Palestinians to pursue movement towards participation in peace negotiations. It has not been successful. There is no harm in pursuing other possible avenues that might yield better results → rather than → repeat an ineffective course of action.
