Trump is trying Middle East Peace plan 2.0 after the first one flopped

Source: raw story



Published 3 hours ago on January 19, 2020


President Donald Trump is scheduled to submit his second Middle East peace plan after the first one senior son-in-law Jared Kushner came up with didn’t go over very well.

“We will get this done,” Trump claimed in May 2017.

“We’ll start a process which hopefully will lead to peace,” Trump said. “Over the course of my lifetime, I’ve always heard that perhaps the toughest deal to make is the deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Let’s see if we can prove them wrong, okay?”


Last summer, Kushner’s peace plan was said to be the “deal of the century.” But it not only fell flat, it drew ridicule for how long it took, how simplistic it was, and how much of a failure the rollout was.

Simplistic reduction of all complex issues by a woefully ignorant narcissist, totally out of his depth on the world stage and anywhere else.

I hope no one writes that on a list of options for Fat Donnie to choose from.

It definitely would bring peace to the Middle East...

More hot air and lies. He doesn’t really want Peace in the Middle East, just the appearance of saying he has a plan.

Or was it only the thread of "disproportionate response" and destroying cultural heritage sites that counts as Trump's new peace plan?
