Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner will present President Donald Trump's Middle East peace plan to a closed-door UN Security Council meeting on Thursday, French news agency AFP reported on Monday.

Kushner, who is one of the architects of the plan, is expected to outline the proposal that Washington unveiled last week and to listen to the positions of the council's other 14 members, diplomatic sources said.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to address the Security Council on Feb. 11 to express his opposition to Trump's plan. Abbas is also expected to demand the Security Council admonish the US and demand its adherence to international law.

According to the report, Abbas plans to present the council with a draft resolution through Tunisia, a non-permanent member of the council.

The PA cannot submit the resolution directly as it only has non-member observer state status  in the United Nations

The US will likely veto any Palestinian resolution should it gain the support of nine council members – the minimum required for passage.

The PA has rejected Trump's plan, and said that it would exit the 1993 Oslo Accords over it.

On Saturday, the Arab League also rejected the plan, as did the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

The US proposal allows Israel to apply sovereignty on the Jordan Valley and the large settlement blocks in Judea and Samaria, and proposes the establishment of a Palestinian capital in Abu Dis, a suburb of Jerusalem.

The Palestinians have long sought the whole of east Jerusalem as their capital.

In a statement Saturday, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon, said he has launched a campaign to persuade member countries not to support any Palestinian action that is hostile to the US plan.
