Kushner expressed hope the Palestinians wouldn't 'screw up" another opportunity 'like they've screwed up every other opportunity.'

'We’ll see if the leadership on both sides has the courage to take the lead to try to go forward,' Kushner said. 

Trump’s Middle East policy team’s effort to shutter UNRWA may include attempts to clarify that millions of Palestinians are not considered refugees.

'If President Abbas is willing to come back to the table, we are ready to engage; if he is not, we will likely air the plan publicly,' Kushner said.

'American ideas or deals that bypass the Palestinian leadership’s position on Jerusalem, statehood and refugees will only lead to a dead end,' Abu Rudeineh said of Trump's peace plan. 

In all likelihood, the Palestinians were hoping that the new US administration would endorse their vision for 'peace' with Israel.

The Trump administration has threatened to close the PLO mission in Washington for asking the International Criminal Court to prosecute Israelis for alleged crimes against Palestinians.

“I will never stop [paying] the allowances to the families of the prisoners and released prisoners, even if this costs me my position and my presidency.”

Washington denied claims that it yielded to Palestinian threats to abandon the US-led peace initiative if their demands are not met. 

The Palestinians are consistently expressing skepticism in the face of US optimism about the chances for a peace agreement.   

While Israel has remained open-minded on the US peace efforts, the Palestinians are expressing pessimism and mounting obstacles.

The Palestinians are threatening diplomatic warfare if the peace process does not progress in the way they want it to.

"There may be no solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Kushner said in a leaked conversation, after studying the issues in depth.

Discussions regarding a land swap with the Palestinians were reportedly held before the Temple Mount crisis. Is Netanyahu still considering this plan?

Trump's peace initiative has already met obstacles, as the Palestinians are refusing to cease their practice of paying terrorists and incentivizing terrorists.

The father of terror victim Hadas Malka demonstrated the stark contrast between Israelis, who cherish life, and Palestinian society, which praises 'martyrdom.'

During a meeting with New York Times representatives at the newspaper’s Manhattan headquarters, President-elect Donald Trump said he would love to be the one to make peace between Israel and the Palestinians and even suggested his Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner, could help broker an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement.

Donald Trump’s Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner, reportedly serves as his behind-the-scenes adviser and prepared the Republican presidential primary front-runner for his recent American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference speech.
