President Trump’s belief that his administration could potentially find a way to solve the conflict — as he put it, with the “deal of the century” — dates back to before he took office. So does his idea that Kushner, who had no government or diplomatic experience, would be the best man for the job. Kushner’s private caution may have been wise. More than a year and a half after those comments, his peace plan still has not been released. This week, McClatchy’s Michael Wilner reported that the plan was “largely complete” but that it would probably not be released until after Israel’s April 9 election.
Why assume Kushner will fail? With Middle East peace negotiations long mired in the debates of the Oslo accords of a quarter-century ago, the Trump administration at least hopes to reinvigorate the process. “I think we have some ideas that are new, fresh and different,” Pompeo told the House on Wednesday.
What really worries people about Kushner’s peace plan is not the wild rumors about what’s in it — it’s what has happened outside the plan already. Since taking office, Trump has made multiple moves that appear designed to squeeze and punish the Palestinian side.
