The Trump administration has been preparing a plan in secret which is expected to be presented to the two sides in 2018. “The United States has proven to be a dishonest mediator in the peace process and we will no longer accept any plan from the United States,” Abbas said after meeting French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris. “I have committed myself very clearly to doing everything” to further the peace process, Macron said. We respect the efforts made by you and we count heavily on your efforts,” he said.
