Saudi paper urges Palestinians to consider Trump peace plan

The editor-in-chief of a Saudi newspaper is urging Palestinians to keep an open mind toward a Mideast plan being devised by US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner.

Faisal Abbas writes in the Arab News on Wednesday that while the cards have been stacked against the Palestinians, Kushner’s plan just may reverse the situation and make peace possible.

Abbas writes there’s a “strong counter argument that it is time to think outside the box” and adds: “The Palestinians should negotiate hard, and then take what they can to secure a nation state for future generations.”
