I believe it may resolve an issue that was a roadblock to peace negotiations.
I know the West Bank and Gaza folks won’t see it that way, but that’s okay. They’ll have to come to terms with it.
Trump wouldn’t have done this without some consultation in the region.
Saudi Arabia and other nations may have been okay with this.
Support for a Saudi/Israel working relationship may have hinged on it.
IMO, we have a much better chance for a peace agreement under Trump, than ever before. I think he would work behind the scenes on this one, to make it look like a Middle-East based plan too. That would surprise some folks who always see him as a guy who wants credit.
Here, his name being involved would make folks react negatively without even looking at the plan.
He’s a clever guy.
Thanks for your replies - I like all of the above!
I’m constantly reminding myself that while Trump may be a newcomer to DC, he’s been watching these situations very carefully for 30+ years, and his views have remained quite consistent over time. That says he’s not only got a plan but that it’s not just a whim but part of a greater vision.
