Reuters—U.S. Mideast peace plan not finalised, but efforts “serious”, says Saudi’s Jubeir:
PARIS (Reuters) – The U.S. administration is serious about getting a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians, but its proposed plan is still being put together, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister said.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and eventually move the U.S. Embassy in Israel there has angered the Palestinians, who question Washington’s role as a sponsor of Middle East peace.
Trump’s adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is leading efforts to restart negotiations, though his bid has shown little public progress so far.
“We believe the Trump administration is serious about bringing peace between Israelis and Arabs,” Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, a former ambassador to the United States, told France 24 television late on Wednesday.
“They were working on ideas and were consulting with all parties, including Saudi Arabia, and they are incorporating the views represented to them by everybody. They have said they would need a little bit of time to put it together to present it.”
Trump’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel overturned decades of U.S. policy and ignored international consensus that the city’s status should be decided only in a future peace agreement.
Israel claims all of Jerusalem as its capital, including the eastern part which it annexed after capturing it in a 1967 war. The Palestinians want the eastern part of the city as capital of a future independent state of their own.
The Trump administration argues that any credible peace plan would put the Israeli capital in Jerusalem, and that moving past the question can help unblock a peace process frozen since 2014. Washington says Trump’s decision does not affect Jerusalem’s borders or future status which can still be decided in talks.

SnyderTalk Comment:
It amazes me how right President Trump has been on so many issues and how off-the-wall his Democrat critics have been.
If President Trump woke up and tweeted, “It’s a beautiful morning”:
- Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi would go to the floors in the Senate and House and demand another investigation because “the president has lost his mind.”
- “The Five” would devote a show to it.
- CNN would tell us that the tweet reminds us just how partisan the president is.
- WaPo and NYT would quote anonymous insiders who say that it’s another example of disarray in the White House.
- Leading African American Democrats would hold a press conference to tell us that it proves that President Trump is a racist.
This is more peculiar than anything I have seen in politics. I think President Trump’s critics are insane.
Don’t get me wrong. The president has made some mistakes. Jeff Sessions is one of them, but most of the time he is right and most of the time he’s simply doing what he said he would do.
See “Palestinians: Arab Rulers are Traitors, Cowards”.
Democrat leaders in the U.S. remind me of Palestinian leaders. They are almost always wrong but never in doubt.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
