Trump's Middle East peace plan, authored by advisers Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, has remained stubbornly confidential in a White House where no secret is safe for long
WASHINGTON - In a White House where no secret is safe for long, one development has remained stubbornly confidential - the contents of a Middle East peace plan authored by President Donald Trump’s advisers Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt.
That the peace plan has remained a secret is remarkable in a White House where drafts of executive orders, confidential conversations and internal deliberations all find their way to the front pages. “He is briefed if something interesting is happening or there is an idea they want to run by him,” the official said.
On Wednesday, Trump’s secretary of state Mike Pompeo said the plan would be presented before too long but, when asked, declined to say whether the administration favored a two-state solution, long the basis of Middle East peacemaking.
