Abbas concessions kick-start Trump attempt to resolve Israel-Arab conflict

By David Singer - posted Friday, 16 June 2017


Trump may well intend trying to resolve these demands by including other Arab States in any new round of negotiations – as this White House Press Office Readout of Trump's 23rd May meeting with Abbas tantalisingly suggests:

The two leaders discussed ways to advance negotiations and considered how Arab states might support those negotiations.

Egypt and Jordan – enjoying signed peace treaties with Israel since 1979 and 1994 respectively - could be just those States.

Such four-party negotiations - conducted under Trump's oversight and using his proven skills in successfully negotiating and concluding deals - could be the key to ending the logjam of failed negotiations since 1993.

Hope springs eternal.
