ترامب يكشف النقاب عن خطة السلام في الشرق الأوسط

By Jordi Bou

January 29, 2020 - The Mideast peace plan announced by President Donald Trump supports the Israeli position on nearly all of the most contentious issues in the decades-old conflict.

Where previous presidents tried to cajole Israel and the Palestinians into compromising on thorny issues like the borders of a future Palestinian state, the status of Jerusalem and the fate of refugees, Trump’s Mideast team largely adopted the Israeli position.

As a result, the Palestinians have angrily rejected the plan, and the international community appears unlikely to rally around it.

Trump set in motion a four-year timeline for Palestinians to agree to a security arrangement with Israel, halt attacks by the Islamist militant group Hamas and set up governing institutions in order to establish a Palestinian state.

The U.S. plan represented the most detailed attempt to break the deadlock between Israel and the Palestinians in several years.
