The president will unveil a long-awaited set of proposals Tuesday that is expected to set benchmarks for limited Palestinian sovereignty within years, while codifying Jewish settlements.
No Palestinians attended the White House preview of what is described as a highly detailed proposal for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that dates from Israel’s founding in 1948.
Trump predicted that “we will ultimately have the support of the Palestinians” but also appeared to confirm expectations that the White House proposals are generous to close ally Israel. The 50-page plan developed by Trump adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner is expected to include proposals addressing each of the major issues that have scuttled past peace efforts, including competing land claims and the administration of holy sites in Jerusalem.“There are a lot of goodies in there for the Palestinians — a lot — but by no means all of what they have long sought,” one of the people said.
