White House senior adviser Jared Kushner unveiled the general themes of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan on Monday, saying it would put a big emphasis on improving the conditions of both Israelis and Palestinians.
"We were not able to convince people from both sides on a compromise," Kushner told Sky News Arabia in an interview. "Therefore, we did not focus a lot on the issues, despite our deep knowledge of them. We focused instead on what prevents the Palestinian people from using their full potential, and what prevents the Israeli people from integrating properly in the entire region." But despite this, he said that "the American peace plan is very detailed and will focus on drawing the border and resolving the core issues."
The Trump administration has been in the works for the past two years, but the administration's peace team, led by Kushner, has repeatedly dismissed various reports on its supposed content, saying they are false and misleading. The plan is due to be released after the April 9 Israel election.
Kushner added his team "tried to find realistic and fair solutions … to allow people to have better lives" and that the plan will focus on four ways to achieve that goal.
