US plan will not follow lines of Arab Peace Initiative, Kushner says
(Worthy News) – A US proposal for Israeli-Palestinian peace will not follow the contours of the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, senior White House adviser Jared Kushner said in comments published Monday, offering a rare glimpse of the political side of the administration’s yet-to-be-released peace plan.
“I think we all have to recognize that if there ever is a deal, it’s not going to be along the lines of the Arab peace initiative,” Kushner told Qatari network al-Jazeera. “It will be somewhere between the Arab peace initiative and between the Israeli position.”
The comments, published hours before Kushner is set to open a controversial economic workshop in Bahrain that has drawn only middling support from most Arab states, would mark a sharp departure from what many view as the outline of a future Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.
