Due to anticipated Palestinian rejection, US mulls not presenting peace plan at all

In their meeting earlier today, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner discussed US President Donald Trump’s peace plan, Channel 10 reports.

The two were joined by Israel’s Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer, US Special Envoy Jason Greenblatt, and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman.

According to Channel 10, the American team is hesitant to present its plan, knowing that the Palestinians will likely reject it outright.

Where before the question may have been when the plan would be presented, now the White House is wondering whether to present it at all.

However, a senior US official tells Channel 10 that despite the delay in presenting the peace plan and the deterioration in Washington’s relationship with the Palestinians, the Americans are pleased with the warming of ties between Israel and the Gulf states of Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain.
