CJPME Factsheet No. 218, published February, 2020: This factsheet provides an overview of the Trump Plan for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and explains why this new deal is an obstacle to sustainable peace for Palestinans and in the Middle-East.
How was the Trump Plan developed?
On January 28, 2020, President Donald Trump unveiled a set of political and economic proposals to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It took 3 years for his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, High Advisor to the President and responsible for defining its Middle East policy, to build this plan “for peace”[1]. The latter was drafted without the participation of Palestinian negotiators.
