U.S. Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt took to Twitter, Wednesday, to deny reports the forthcoming U.S. peace plan would include a confederation involving Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
Greenblatt, had already tweeted "False!" on Friday to what he said were reports that the proposal would give part of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula to the adjacent Gaza Strip, which is ruled by the Hamas terrorist group.
"@KingAbdullahII & #Jordan are strong US allies. Rumors that our peace vision includes a confederation between Jordan, Israel & the PA, or that the vision contemplates making Jordan the homeland for Palestinians, are incorrect. Please don't spread rumors," Greenblatt wrote.
White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, another main architect of the peace proposal, said on Tuesday it would be made public after the Muslim holy month of Ramadan ends in June.
Kushner, who spoke at a Time magazine forum in Washington, did not say whether the plan called for a two-state solution, a goal of past U.S. peace efforts.
Palestinian leaders have called for the establishment of an independent state alongside Israel in the West Bank and Gaza, with east Jerusalem as its capital.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who won a fifth term in an election two weeks ago, laid down a series of conditions for Palestinian statehood in a major policy speech in 2009.
In a last-minute election campaign promise that angered Palestinians, Netanyahu said he planned to annex Jewish settlements in the West Bank if he was again chosen as Israel's leader.
The U.S. proposal, which has been delayed for a variety of reasons over the last 18 months, has two major components. It has a political piece that addresses core issues such as the status of Jerusalem, and an economic part that aims to help the Palestinians strengthen their economy.
Palestinian leaders have said Trump cannot be an honest broker after he broke with long-standing U.S. policy and recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital in 2017 and moved the American Embassy there last May.
