Mideast Turmoil Complicates Arab Support for Trump Peace Plan
(Wall Street Journal) Felicia Schwartz - The Trump administration's still-secret Middle East peace proposal - months in the works and mostly finished - lays out what the U.S. sees as key steps to take toward peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. It offers proposals to address disagreements over borders, security and refugees, U.S. officials said. The last round of negotiations during the Obama administration collapsed in 2014. "Our role is not to impose a deal on either side. Our role is to come up with a plan that we think is realistic. Our role is to come up with a plan that we think is fair," a senior Trump administration official said. "Everyone should recognize that the talking points from the last 70 years have not achieved peace." American officials have been looking for the right time to present their plan. U.S. officials said they don't expect to release the plan before the end of Ramadan, which begins this week and lasts until mid-June.
