Trump: I can bring peace to Israel
David Rosenberg, 23/11/16
President-elect Donald Trump ran a campaign that defied convention, winning in a dramatic upset that prior to the election had been deemed unlikely if not impossible by most political insiders.
Now he’s setting his sights on a goal widely considered out of reach, once again ignoring popular opinion and suggesting he may be the one to achieve that which has eluded every president since Truman: a lasting peace between Israel and her neighbors.
...
“I would love to be able to be the one that made peace with Israel and the Palestinians,” Trump said.
The president-elect was confident that the goal was achievable, and that he may be specially equipped to succeed where so many others have failed.
“A lot of people tell me, really great people tell me, that it’s impossible — you can’t do it. I disagree. I think you can make peace,” said Trump, adding, “I have reason to believe I can do it.”

Trump: Kushner can secure a peace agreement for Israel
David Rosenberg, 16/01/17
President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed that Jared Kushner will be tapped to serve the administration as special envoy to the Middle East, adding that he believes his son-in-law will succeed in brokering a deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
Kushner, Trump’s 36-year old Orthodox Jewish son-in-law, has been mentioned in the past as a possible pick as White House adviser. In an interview with The New York Times last November, Trump suggested Kushner might play a role in Middle East peace talks.
Last week, members of Trump’s transition team told Reuters Kushner would serve as senior White House adviser, giving the president advice on trade deals and the Middle East.
In an interview with The Times which was published Sunday evening, Trump confirmed that Kushner will be tapped as Middle East peace envoy.

President Trump Predicts He Will Bring Peace To The Middle East
Published on Jun 12, 2017
In the political world, there is one deal that is prized above all others, making peace in the Middle East between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Over the past 69 years, it has been tried and failed so many times that most people and politicians believe it simply cannot be done. As President Trump has repeatedly said, it most certainly is "the biggest deal" one could imagine.

Greenblatt, Kushner begin push for peace talks
Nitsan Keidar, 20/06/1
White House special envoy Jason Greenblatt will meet with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu today (Tuesday), laying the groundwork for the Trump administration’s planned Middle East peace summit, expected to be held this September.
On Wednesday, Trump’s son-in-law and advisor, Jared Kushner, will join Greenblatt as he meets with senior Israeli and Palestinian Authority officials in an effort to secure promises to restart negotiations, which reached an impasse three years ago.
Greenblatt is scheduled to travel to Ramallah on Wednesday to meet with PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas. During his meetings with Abbas and Netanyahu, Greenblatt is expected to push for pledges from both sides that they will attend the upcoming peace summit, and that each will declare their return to the negotiating table during the summit.

What gets me is every President seems to think they are the answer to making peace between Israel and everybody. Well good luck with that one. It's all about land and territory. Israel is and always will defend what is rightfully theirs. Nobody can change that. So when I see articles like this , it kind of makes me turn the other cheek , so to speak
Trump or any other President are not the answer. Just my opinion.

Report of US Recognizing ‘Palestine’ in Trump Peace Plan Sparks Knesset Backlash
By Tazpit Press Service November 19, 2017
“You must not call conspiracy All that that people calls conspiracy, Nor revere what it reveres, Nor hold it in awe.” Isaiah 8:12
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declined to address reports Sunday that US President Donald Trump is planning to table a new Israel-Palestinian peace initiative, other than to say that his approach to a plan, should one become public, will rest on clear criteria.
“My approach to the this plan will depend on how it fits together with Israel’s security and national interests. We have made this clear to our American friends,” Netanyahu said.
Despite Netanyahu’s reticence to comment, right-and left-wing flanks of Israel’s political echelon lined up Sunday to comment on reports over the weekend that the administration of United States President Donald Trump is planning to table a proposal to recognize a Palestinian state, without requiring the demolition of Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria.

Klein: Six Reasons Jared Kushner is Dangerously Delusional on the Middle East
by Aaron Klein
3 Dec 2017
Earlier today, Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, made a rare public appearance to discuss his efforts to secure an Israeli-Palestinian deal and forge a wider Middle East peace.
While Kushner’s remarks were short on specifics, his 30-minute Q&A at the Saban Forum in Washington revealed dangerously delusional thinking when it comes to issues of U.S. national security, the so-called Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Iran, and the larger Middle East.
Here, in no particular order, are six major problems with Kushner’s remarks today:
1 – Kushner would create a Palestinian state despite the current Palestinian “unity government” with Hamas terrorists.
Kushner and the Trump administration are plowing forward with a plan to create a Palestinian state even after the Palestinian Authority (PA) inked a landmark unity agreement with the Hamas terrorist organization, which is committed to Israel’s destruction. This means that any Palestinian state will ostensibly be governed on some level by the new Palestinian National Consensus Government, which includes Hamas as a main power...
2 – Kushner is dangerously conditioning a larger Arab-Israel peace with the creation of a Palestinian state.
President Obama’s disastrous nuclear agreement with Iran has created unique and immediate opportunities to forge economic, military and diplomatic relations between Israel and the greater Sunni Arab world, led by Saudi Arabia. The Saudis and other Sunni Arab nations are pushing for a larger alliance, understanding that the regional tectonic plates have dramatically shifted and that their best hopes for confronting the Iranian threat lie in a new axis that includes Israel...
3 – Kushner pushed the Palestinian propaganda lie that the so-called Israeli Palestinian conflict is at the center of driving regional instability.
By painting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as critical to bringing “more stability in the region as a whole” and focusing on the creation of a Palestinian state as a precondition for regional peace, Kushner is feeding into the Palestinian propaganda claim that the so-called Israeli-Palestinian conflict is driving regional turmoil...
4 – Kushner’s “peace” drive promotes the fiction that the Palestinian Authority is a partner for peace.
Putting aside Hamas, which again is in a unity agreement with Abbas’s Fatah, the PA’s own rejectionist attitudes toward Israel are highlighted by its repeated use of maps that erase Israel and PA propaganda calling for the dismantling of the Jewish state...
5 – Kushner’s plan to create a Palestinian state would harm U.S. national security interests.
The very premise of Kushner’s speech—that an Israeli-Palestinian deal is not only “achievable” but is in U.S. regional national security interests—is dangerous and fundamentally flawed...
6 – Kushner scandalously drew moral equivalencies between Israel and the PA.
Kushner talked about “the red lines of both sides” and that they “see a lot of things that could go south quickly.” Only one side, however, seeks to destroy the other and educates its children in anti-Semitic propaganda, radicalism, violence and rejectionist attitudes...

Why Jared Kushner is on a fool’s mission
By Barry Shaw
December 7, 2017
Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, is trying to do the impossible. He hopes to achieve too many others before him have failed to achieve. That is, to turn a dysfunctional, corrupt, rejectionist, ideological, violent Palestinian political divide into a peace-loving nation.
Here are just a few of the obstacles that stand in his way.
1) You cannot bring peace if you are delusional about the nature of the beast you are trying to tame.
Kushner, like others before him, goes to Ramallah to talk to the head of the Palestinian Authority, whether it be Yasser Arafat or PA President Mahmoud Abbas, as though they truly represent the best interests of the majority of Arabs in Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip. If they did, there would have been peace a long time ago, without Kushner.
2) Kushner is conditioning a regional Israel-Arab peace with the creation of a Palestinian state.
The establishment of a dysfunctional Palestinian state likely to be headed, sooner or later, by Hamas is not a panacea for regional peace.
The notion that solving the Palestinian problem will bring stability to a turbulent Middle East is nonsense. The sectarian and religious violence in the Arab and Islamic world will continue even if a fractious Palestinian political divide can be cajoled into submitting to Kushner’s will and dropping their differences long enough to establish Palestine on land vacated by Israel.
3) The false notion that the PA is a partner for peace.
The PA totally rejects the idea of the Jewish State of Israel. It has done so since prior to the awful Arafat days. Abbas, falsely seen by many as a pragmatist and moderate, frequently has outbursts of vehement anti-Jewish rhetoric. His presidency is soaked in the blood-stained money which he pumps in ever greater volume to imprisoned murderous terrorists or their next of kin, as he incites and educates his people for a world in which Israel does not exist and in which there never was any Jewish heritage.
4) The assumption that the creation of a Palestinian state is in America’s interest is wrong.
Either by the ballot or by the bullet, Hamas will usurp power in any Palestinian state. Hamas has a greater kinship to Iran than to either America or Israel. In order to entrench its power base, Hamas will recruit Iran and Russia to help it maintain control in an Islamic-type democracy. This is not in either America’s or Israel’s interest.

The Trump Peace Plan for Israel Won't Work
By Gershon Hacohen
January 24, 2018
President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel occurred against the backdrop of his ambition to devise a comprehensive peace proposal for Israel and the Palestinians.
The pressures and threats emanating from leaders of the Arab world, as well as from EU countries, ought to raise questions about the basic assumptions that are guiding the president as he seeks what he has called "the ultimate deal."
When he took office a year ago, Trump declared that as an experienced businessman, he would lead the sides to a deal that would be advantageous to both of them. Yet it must be asked: How is it possible to speak of this issue in terms of a deal?
In the business world, the aim is to lay a legal groundwork that ensures that a signed deal will not have to be reopened for negotiation. The negotiating period is subject to challenges and surprises, but from the moment the matter is signed, it is final.
Agreements between states and peoples, however, are likely to be revisited as national interests change. Even if negotiations and agreements between states show a behavioral pattern similar to what transpires in the business world, a crucial difference remains: peoples have national aspirations that are stronger than any agreement.

The Kushner Compromise?
By Stephen Flatow/JNS.org
February 20, 2019
The precise details of the forthcoming Trump administration Mideast peace plan are not yet known, but the basic principle was declared by senior adviser and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner at last week's Warsaw conference.
"Both sides will have to make compromises," he said.
Kushner's statement follows numerous similar statements by American officials, including the president himself. In his Feb. 9, 2017 interview with Israel Hayom, U.S. President Donald Trump said: "I think that both sides will have to make significant compromises in order for achieving a peace deal to be possible."
That was followed by a report in The Jerusalem Post on Feb. 20, 2018, quoting Kushner and the administration's other top Mideast envoy, Jason Greenblatt, saying that "both sides are going to love some of [the plan] and hate some of it." And then-U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said in a Feb. 22, 2017 speech in Chicago: "The plan won't be loved by either side. And it won't be hated by either side."
Let's take a closer look at what the both-sides-have-to-compromise approach means, both in principle and in practice.
In principle, the idea that Israel should have to make additional "compromises" is outrageously unfair. Since the day the Oslo Accords were signed in 1993, all Israel has done is make "compromises" to appease the Palestinian Authority...

Kushner: Economy and ‘establishing borders’ the focal points of Trump peace plan
By TOI staff 25 February 2019
US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Jared Kushner said in an interview Monday that the administration’s much-awaited Israeli-Palestinian peace plan will focus on “establishing borders and resolving final status issues.”
Kushner spoke with Sky News Arabic in comments overlaid with an Arabic translation. His original English-language quotes were not immediately available.
Kushner said that since “the situation they are negotiating over hasn’t really changed much in 25 years,” the administration’s team had worked to find “a realistic and… fair solution to the issues here in 2019 that can enable people to live better lives.”
“The goal of resolving these borders is really to eliminate the borders,” he said. “If you can eliminate borders and have peace and less fear of terror, you could have freer flow of goods, freer flow of people and that would create a lot more opportunities.”
Kushner also called for unified rule over the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, which are currently split between the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority and the Hamas terror group, respectively.

Jared Kushner Implies Two-State Solution ‘Failed’
DEBORAH DANAN
24 Apr 2019
TEL AVIV – Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner on Tuesday said previously attempts to broker a two-state solution had “failed” and the long-anticipated “deal of the century” would be different.
“New and different ways to reach peace must be tried,” President Donald Trump’s son-in-law said at a Time magazine conference in New York.
“We’ve taken what I think is an unconventional approach. We’ve studied the past efforts and how they failed and why they failed. … We’ve tried to do it a bit differently.”
“We’ve studied the past efforts and how they failed and why they failed,” Kushner said.
Asked whether the goal of his Mideast peace plan was to create “two states,” he said, “If people focus on the old traditional talking points, we’re never going to make progress.”
Kushner added that the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative was a “very good attempt.”
“But if that would’ve worked, we would’ve made peace a long time ago on that basis,” he said.
