According to Friedman, the contents of the peace plan are "pretty much completed," but there is additional "wordsmithing and smoothing."

"The challenge to a peace plan is making the case for a much more sober assessment of the realities in this region," he said. "The last time there was a meaningful agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians was 1993. A lot has happened since 1993.”

Trump gave them Jerusalem, but what has he asked for in return? Under this administration, foreign policy is for sale to those who add to the Trump coffers. Will we see plans for Trump Tower Tel Aviv?
