Trump Team Begins Drafting Middle East Peace Plan
(New York Times) Peter Baker - After 10 months of educating themselves on the complexities of the dispute between Israel and the Palestinians, President Trump's team of advisers has begun developing their own concrete blueprint to end the conflict. "We have spent a lot of time listening to and engaging with the Israelis, Palestinians and key regional leaders over the past few months to help reach an enduring peace deal," said Jason Greenblatt, the president's chief negotiator. "We are not going to put an artificial timeline on the development or presentation of any specific ideas and will also never impose a deal. Our goal is to facilitate, not dictate, a lasting peace agreement to improve the lives of Israelis and Palestinians and security across the region."
