Kushner's Middle East plan could be shifting toward a one-sided result
Kushner's Middle East plan could be shifting toward a one-sided result

Israel's new elections could alter Jared Kushner's Middle East peace plan, The New York Times reports.
President Trump will reportedly make a significant effort to help Benjamin Netanyahu retain his post as Israel's prime minister after he was unsuccessful in forging a coalition government by Wednesday's deadline. That failure triggered the country's second national election of 2019, which is set for September 17. But, the Times reports, if Trump is to fully support Netanyhau, his son-in-law Jared Kushner will likely have to tilt his secretive peace plan more heavily in Israel's favor, isolating Palestinians in the process.
Kushner has now suggested that the plan will not call for a creation of a Palestinian state, which the Times reports has long been America's policy goal for the Israel-Palestine conflict.
While Trump and Netanyahu enjoy a strong relationship, that is not necessarily the reason Kushner's plan could shift. Instead, the 2020 U.S. presidential election also factors into play. The Trump administration does not intend to reveal the political portion of their plan until after Israel's elections in September — and, subsequently, the formation of a new government in October. That's a bit too close to the first primaries of the 2020 election in November for the White House's comfort, the Times reports. To avoid alienating evangelicals and influential pro-Israel donors stateside, then, it is unlikely the administration will present a plan that would put Israel or Netanyahu in an uncomfortable situation, the Times reports.

Just unbelievable. What kind of STUPID thinks that a newbie, with ZERO experience at all in international affairs, can resolve a situation that the best and the brightest EXPERIENCED folks couldn't resolve ??? Besides, if they think that giving NOTHING to the Palestinians will result in a compromise by the Pals, they are NUTZO.
In fact, getting rid of Netanyahu might do far more in advancing peace there.

Re: Kushner's Middle East plan could be shifting toward a one-sided result
The nutzoid US Republican religious right whoop and holler with every step bringing the world closer to Armaggeddon, from which they believe they will be saved and spared when Jesus comes in the clouds in the Rapture at the last minute, to whisk them away to Heaven, while everything else on earth left behind (you and I) perishes in the tribulation: God having done their work and fulfilled their wants (our destruction) for them.
I know this sounds nutzoid. But it's what these people believe, and why they have Trump's back, no matter what. They adore inexperienced Kushner. One of Trump's greatest appointments. Netanyahu is a leader similar to Putin, Kim, and Trump. He's the little bully who enjoys protection of the big bully, who he puppets to do as much dirty work for him as possible. Trump gives Netanyahu anything he wants.

Let's hope that the fact that tRUMP backs "Nettyyahoo" causes Israelis to reject him.
