Standing alongside Netanyahu, Trump says his peace plan – already rejected by the Palestinians – has a “chance” and will be unveiled tomorrow at noon local time.
Trump predicts that the Palestinians will “ultimately” come round to giving their support.
He adds that without the Palestinians “we won’t do the deal, and that’s okay. Life goes on,” without elaborating.
Unsourced Israeli reports in recent days said that should the Palestinians persist in rejecting the deal, Israel will eventually be given a go-ahead from the US to begin unilateral steps, including the annexation of parts of the West Bank.
Trump also says that the plan has the support of “all the parties” in Israel, possibly alluding to the opposition Blue and White party, whose leader, Benny Gantz, he will meet after he concludes his sit-down with Netanyahu.

It is premature to call this peace plan “historic.” After we see it, we may know more.
You simply HAVE to love this president!
Just as during the historic announcement concerning American recognition of Yerushalayim as Israel’s capital, and the intended move of the US embassy, he is wearing blue and white…blue and white striped tie, blue suit, white shirt (no folks, it’s NOT a nod to the blue and white party).
Netanyahu, for his part, seemingly reciprocates, with red white and blue….red tie, white shirt blue suit…nicely done.
