Pompeo reportedly told a closed-door meeting of Jewish leaders there are 'no guarantees that we're the ones that unlock' the conflict.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has admitted that President Donald Trump's long-awaited Middle East peace plan may prove to be a diplomatic flop.
In the closed-door meeting with Jewish leaders, Pompeo said that"one might argue" Trump's proposal is"unexecutable" and might not"gain traction" among those involved. Dialogue between Washington and the Palestinians collapsed entirely after Trump announced he would move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem—the disputed holy city claimed by Israel as its capital and by the Palestinians as the capital of a future independent state.
The White House is expected to try and win Palestinian support with offers of economic incentives to create new opportunities in the blockaded Gaza Strip and the West Bank, where unemployment remains high and living standards low. The American team has also tried to secure commitments to infrastructure and industrial projects from wealthy Arab states.
