For foreign policy watchers, President Donald Trumps State of the Union Speech was missing some crucial talking points, among them: His long-promised Middle East peace plan.
There was some expectation that he might unveil it during the U.N. General Assembly in September. That didnt happen. Nor did the plan materialize in the four month timeline he promised that same month. But according to a piece published by Politico on Friday, the wait is somewhat over: Jared Kushner, Trumps son-in-law and the man tasked with drafting a plan, will soon unveil the plans the economic portion.
A brief reminder of the actual conflicts in the region include Syrias civil war, Yemens civil war (with the intervention of a U.S.-backed Saudi Arabian coalition), tensions between Israel and Palestine, and the ongoing conflict in Iraq.
Kushner, were told, will head at the end of February to the Gulf Arab states of Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.

...involves Palestinian acceptance of a perpetual occupation, I really dont think the economic portion has much of a point.
