Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner says that a “reasonable” Palestinian leadership will be willing to negotiate with Israel based on the Trump administration’s peace plan.
“If there’s a reasonable leadership and there’s a reasonable plan, then they’ll come to the table,” Trump’s son-in-law told CNN.
Commenting on the more aggressive approach the White House has taken in dealing with the Palestinians, Kushner says, “one thing about this file is that there are about a thousand ways to fail and what we determined early on is that if we are gonna fail we are not going to do it the same way that people have done before.”
“I think that what we’re working on will allow Israelis to have the security that they want and the Palestinian people to have the opportunity that they want.”
“I think that there’s a bigger gap between the negotiators than there is between the people,” he argues.
“The status quo between Israel and the Palestinians is not acceptable. The situation is only getting worse. At some point the leaders will have to take a bold step and make compromise. We hope to find leaderships that are ready to do so.”
