Kushner rips Abbas, says Mideast peace plan due 'soon' - AP
AP reports: "President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser said in an
interview published Sunday that the administration will soon present its
Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, with or without input from Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas.
[...] The interview came out after a weeklong trip around the region by
Kushner and Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt. The team met with leaders of
Israel, Jordan, Qatar, Egypt and Saudi Arabia to discuss the worsening
humanitarian situation in Gaza and the administration’s proposals for a
peace deal."
Comment: I find it ironic that the Palestinians think they have a veto if their Arab sponsors sign on to the Trump plan. Of course, we mean the Fatah "faction" that relies on Saudi Arabia and other wealthy Arab donors, the rival Hamas factions relies mostly on Iran, and you know where they stand on the matter of peace with Israel. It's possible to imagine an Israeli peace deal with Fatah in the West Bank, but it's hard to imagine any kind of peace deal with Hamas in Gaza. Hamas has already rejected peace, so there appears to be no deal to be had there.
