Trump team mum on Palestinian-Jordanian confederation proposal

US Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt declines to comment on remarks by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who earlier said the Trump administration suggested a regional peace plan that includes a Palestinian-Jordanian confederation.

‎”Over the past 19 months, we have probed all relevant parties about many ideas and possibilities. The plan, when released, will reflect ideas that we think are realistic, fair and implementable that will enhance the lives of the Israeli and Palestinian people,” Greenblatt tells The Times of Israel.

“We will not discuss any specific ideas or private conversations that may or may not have been had with leaders in the region,” he says.
