Pompeo, Trump Throw Jared Peace Plan Under the Bus

by | Jun 3, 2019

Pompeo trashed it in a maybe-secretly recorded meeting with a Jewish group.

Trump then also cast doubt.

This goes with what Phil Weiss said the other day. It’s dead, not because it was horrible, but because of Netanyahu’s failure to form a government, which means it can’t be debuted before Israel can hold new elections in September, but then after that will be the U.S. campaign season so they can’t do it then either.

The whole point was just a PR stunt anyway. It was another Camp David II: give the Palestinians an offer they cannot possibly accept and then pretend they’re the unreasonable ones when they don’t.

As Pompeo admitted:

“I get why people think this is going to be a deal that only the Israelis could love. I understand the perception of that.”
