U.S. ambassador to Israel: Trump’s peace plan to be presented in months
(Worthy News) – US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said Sunday that the Trump administration’s Israeli-Palestinian peace plan – the “deal of the century” – will be presented “within the next several months.”
The comments came during National Security Advisor John Bolton’s visit to Israel this week. Bolton arrived on Saturday evening, and is scheduled to meet Netanyahu Sunday night. He was last in Israel in August, and this will be his second visit to the country since taking over as National Security Advisor in April. He will travel from Israel to Turkey for talks there expected as well to focus on the situation in Syria.
“It is not clear in which century Trump intends to announce his ‘deal of the century,'” Meretz leader Tamar Zandberg said in response to Friedman’s announcement Sunday.” But we do not need to wait for anyone in order to begin the most important thing for the future of the State of Israel: a peace accord with the Palestinians. Netanyahu has already been negligent for a decade while not starting negotiations, and it is sad that Trump’s way to help him in the elections is to delay announcing his plan, instead of accelerating it.” [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
