PA official says no comment on Kushner peace plan remarks

A senior Palestinian official says he has no comment on US President Donald Trump’s Middle East point man Jared Kushner’s recent remarks about the US administration’s apparently forthcoming peace plan.

“When something written will be presented to us, we will respond to it,” the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, tells The Times of Israel. “[Kushner] spoke in a general manner. When we will be given details, we will share our opinion.”

Kushner told Sky News Arabia on Monday: “The political plan, which is very detailed, is really about establishing borders and resolving final status issues. The goal of resolving these borders is really to eliminate the borders. If you can eliminate borders and have peace and less fear of terror, you could have freer flow of goods, freer flow of people and that would create a lot more opportunities.”
