Trump invites Netanyahu to White House, says Middle East peace plan imminent

Source: NBC News

President Donald Trump's announcement that he will soon release details of his long-awaited Middle East peace plan capped a string of decisions and statements that have boosted embattled Israeli Prime MInister Benjamin Netanyahu domestically.

The proposal will be unveiled in the next few days, Trump said Thursday, as he also invited Netanyahu and his domestic rival, Benny Gantz, to the White House next week.

"It's a great plan. It's a plan that really would work," the president told reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew back from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Trump has touted his plan as the "deal of the century," which he says will end decades of conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Spearheaded by his son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, its full details have remained a guarded secret, beset by repeated delays amid widespread opposition from the Arab world.

a "peace plan" seems like something you'd want collaboration on if you were serious about success

8. Lies, this is the 2nd (ahem)world beater plan from Kushner, the first got him laughed out of the ME.

It was Israel's wish list and had zero in there for Palestinians, Arabic people living in Israel or the people in Gaza. It was never even presented here, it was so weak and laughable, not a peace treaty at all a total surrender of all rights by the Palestinians was what it contained. Now, he will come out with a 2nd version - lying and saying it's the first - which will almost certainly be equally lopsided and heinous in it's treatment of non-Jews and rejected out of hand. He doesn't want peace, none of them do - they just want more war machines and servitude of a proud people. Disgusting.

The is all just windowdressing for the Fundamentalist Christian Zionists. Meanwhile Israel is only hurting itself by oppressing Palestinians. Who wants to live in fear in an armed camp? They have much to gain psychologically by living in Peace in one state with equal rights for all.

They are oppressed by their dictatorial government who are invested in keeping them stateless.

Neither Pence nor Pompeo has resigned. The last thing either of those idiots want is Peace in the Middle East.

My guess is a client state solution, with Jordan playing a big role.
