Trump ignores critics to unveil Israel-Palestinian peace planUS President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tout an Israeli-Palestinian peace plan that the Palestinians rejectedWASHINGTON - President Donald Trump on Tuesday will ignore accusations of pro-Israeli bias and unveil what he says is a peace plan that can solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Long held secret, the plan was to be aired by Trump and visiting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in joint public remarks at the White House. "It might have a chance," Trump said of the plan at an initial Oval Office meeting with Netanyahu on Monday. On Monday, Trump also met separately with Gantz, but the limelight fell almost entirely on the incumbent prime minister -- as will any political dividends from a peace plan favoring Israel. "It is not a Middle East peace plan," Shtayyeh told a cabinet meeting.
