Trump's Middle East peace plan is almost ready but won't be "loved" by either side, Nikki Haley has predicted. However, the
Trump administration's staunchly pro-Israel stance seems at odds with the plan's alleged impartiality.
A vision for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is currently being finished by Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and a vocal supporter of Israel; along with Jason Greenblatt, a senior Trump adviser and, coincidentally, also Israel's ardent advocate. This was revealed by Haley in her address at the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics on Thursday.
Haley reassured her Chicago audience that
the peace roadmap "won't be loved and won't be hated" by either Israel or the Palestinians. She added that "it's up for them to decide" how to best solve the conflict, and "if they decide on two states, the United States will support two states. If they decide on certain boundaries, the United States is going to support those boundaries."
"The Palestinians deserve better and the Israelis deserve better. Right now, they're in conflict. It's not a good situation," Haley said. "If the leaders would put aside their pride and their ego, and think about their people, and improving the quality of life for their people, this peace process will do that."
Comment: Germany is reaping the fruits of participation in US-led wars as well as its failed open-door immigration policy. The majority of these refugees would not have been seeking asylum in Europe if their countries had not been made completely uninhabitable by the West.
