Kushner: U.S. Peace Plan Will Not Be Released before Ramadan in June
(Jerusalem Post) Omri Nahmias and Tovah Lazaroff - Senior U.S. presidential adviser Jared Kushner told foreign diplomats on Wednesday that the U.S. peace plan will not be released before the end of Ramadan in June. He asked them to keep an open mind and said the plan would require both sides to compromise. He said the plan will not jeopardize Israel's security. U.S. special representative for international negotiations Jason Greenblatt responded Tuesday to PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh's announced rejection of the plan, tweeting: "PM Shtayyeh, starting a new job by condemning a plan you haven't seen is unfair to Palestinians. You have an obligation to first look at an opportunity before you dismiss it. The PA can continue to push us away, but that will do nothing to improve the lives of the Palestinians....By working with us, perhaps something wonderful can happen for Palestinians."
