Standing alongside Netanyahu, Trump says his peace plan — already rejected by the Palestinians — has a “chance” and will be unveiled tomorrow at noon local time.
Trump predicts that the Palestinians will “ultimately” come round to giving their support.
He adds that without the Palestinians “we won’t do the deal, and that’s okay,” without elaborating.
Unsourced Israeli reports in recent days said that should the Palestinians persist in rejecting the deal, Israel will eventually be given a go-ahead from the US to begin unilateral steps, including the annexation of parts of the West Bank.
Trump also says that the plan has the support of “all the parties” in Israel, possibly alluding to the opposition Blue and White party, whose leader, Benny Gantz, he will meet after he concludes his sit-down with Netanyahu.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
