Architect of two-state solution doubts Trump can deliver Mideast peace

“What does he know? What did he do in life?” said Yossi Beilin, a former Israeli official who conducted secret talks that resulted in the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords.

“It is tragic comedy. When I saw the leader of the free world say, ‘If my son-in-law cannot solve the Israel-Palestinian problem, nobody can do that,’ I didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh,” Beilin added, referring to Jared Kushner who is in charge of efforts to craft a long-awaited plan.

On Wednesday, Trump said he was confident his Mideast peace plan would be presented in the next two-to-four months. Despite Trump's comments, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday said the White House's decision to recognize Jerusalem — which Palestinians see as their own capital — as the capital of Israel, and aid cuts to Palestinians, threatened plans for a future state.

"With all of these decisions, this administration has reneged on all previous U.S. commitments, and has undermined the two-state solution," Abbas said in his address at the U.N. General Assembly, an annual gathering of world leaders.

Trump Crime Syndicate has farmed that decision to Sheldon and Mairum Adelson. And his son in law is the gopher on call. If on things John Bolton will play a positive role,for get about it.
