Trump administration's Middle East peace plan finished, officials say

Source: MSN

The Trump administration’s Middle East peace plan is finished and President Trump has been briefed on its contents, two senior administration officials told Fox News on Sunday.

The final draft of the administration’s “Deal of the Century” is 175 to 200 pages long -- and fewer than five people have access to the complete document, sources told Fox News.

“The plan is done... [the president] is happy with the parameters of the deal,” a senior administration official said.

Trump was briefed by U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, Senior Adviser Jared Kushner and special envoy for Mideast peace Jason Greenblatt multiple times on the specifics of the deal, Fox News is told.

Officials said that the plan is unlikely to be released before upcoming Israeli elections on April 9. “We are not going to do anything that threatens Israel’s security,” a senior administration official said.

Maybe I am old fashioned but wouldn't it seem a "peace" plan shouldn't threaten the security of a party of the peace?

Officials said that the plan is unlikely to be released before upcoming Israeli elections on April 9. “We are not going to do anything that threatens Israel’s security,” a senior administration official said.

They are planning to impose a settlement? I have not heard of any kind of high level Palestinians involved in this, so does Trump actually think we can do this he same way he believes he can bully Congress?

The harm he will do is beyond belief already and still getting worse.

There is no give and take to reach a lasting agreement where all parties craft a lasting and enduring mutual understanding.

You do something the "trDump way" or pay the consequences of getting bombed back into the dark ages, take it or leave it - no other options on the table.

It is as simple as that.

6. HA! I'd bet big money this is no "peace" deal but a death warrant for Palestinians.

The plan Kushner presented previously was that Israel got everything it ever wanted, including approving all the land stolen from Palestinians illegally and basically codifying that Palestinians have no rights of their own. i'd be totally shocked if this one isn't the pretty much or even exactly the same. Kushner's' father illegally funded the rogue settlements so no fairness will ever come from him - EVER, which is why Little Murderer approves of the plan and probably illegally funded them in 2016 as well. The Israeli Ambassador was on tv defending this practice a few months ago, saying they could launder the money through Americans "to make it look legal".

and forget the other half when it's introduced, but not before he drifts into saying something about hating Obama/Hillary and talking about the wall.
