The genesis of the Trump plan lies in the Israeli Left. An interview with Prof. Efraim Inbar.
Bibi's Ally Says Kushner Stabbed Netanyahu in the Back With Peace Plan. Prof. Efraim Inbar: The plan addresses the most Israeli concerns and appeals to the mainstream in Israeli politics.
Trump administration’s Mideast proposal receives subtle support from Muslim nations. Dr. Joshua Krasna: Bahrain’s support for the plan is a “trial balloon” for the Saudis.
For first time in history, US plan for Mideast peace puts Israeli concerns at forefront. Prof. Efraim Inbar: I don’t see peace coming out of the plan, but in the long scheme of things, it is more realistic.
Israel should act to implement the Trump Plan and reap its early rewards, because it transforms the Mideast peace paradigm. Most importantly, the plan reflects, and can serve as a platform for, Israeli consensus on the Palestinian issue.
Even if the Palestinians reject Trump's peace plan, it still serves their long-term interests. False, undeliverable expectations – based on the assumption that "everybody knows" what Israel will be forced to concede – eventually need to give way to a more realistic paradigm, which in turn may lead to a better life for both sides.
The Trump Plan Partially Revealed. An interview with Prof. Efraim Inbar.
Instability in Jerusalem bodes poorly for Trump's peace plan. Dr. Emmanuel Navon: Israel's transitional government is unlikely to make any significant decisions on the peace process without a clear mandate from the public.
It is inconceivable that the Trump plan will parrot the stale Clinton/Obama parameters of yesteryear or force any “peace paradigm” on Israel.
Any government elected in Israel will undoubtedly agree to discuss the plan with the Americans.
With ‘peace’ in doubt, Israelis search for alternatives to two-state solution David M. Weinberg of JISS: Trump's team should be given credit for taking a fresh look at what is safe, wise, fair and realistic in today’s Israeli-Palestinian reality.
The Trump Peace Plan is Coming Prof. Efraim Inbar: They’re quite serious about getting a peace plan through. But I don’t believe the Palestinians will accept it.
