Like using Twitter rather than the media. Though in this case the peoples ability to replace their leadership, which any peace plan would require, may not be great. Still, a start. It does hold out a carrot, to the future of the populace rather than leadership.
Yes, a lot like that indeed.
But more than that. It’s an invitation for the world to step up and even step in. They will negotiate. I am sure they hate that map Trump unveiled, and in some ways I empathize. But contrast it to how Oslo was handled. They negotiated for years in private only for Arafat to scuttle it at the last minute - though “officially” we don’t know the terms of that last and final offer plenty of details have been leaked. But it allowed Arafat to say whatever he wanted. Doing it more openly influences not just Palestinian & Israeli but all opinions all over the world - and ultimately I think that will result in more countries chipping in on the negotiation and the financial cost.
