White House To Unveil Mideast Peace Plan — Despite Palestinian Rejection

President Trump is expected to unveil his long-awaited Israeli-Palestinian peace plan that he hopes will bring about "the deal of the century." But the Palestinian leadership, which severed relations with the U.S. administration as it took a series of pro-Israel moves, has already rejected the plan.

The president was set to be joined by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in announcing the plan on Tuesday, which has been in the making since the earliest days of the administration when Trump assigned his senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner the task of trying to forge the elusive deal.

A day before, the president met separately with Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, the leader of Israel's Blue and White political alliance, Netanyahu's principal political opponent. Both Netanyahu and Gantz have expressed their approval of the plan.
