Remember "Jared Kushner's Vision for Peace"? Netanyahu used it for toilet paper

Remember when kushners solved the middle east peace problem?

https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/14/opinions/jared-kushner-peace-plan-israelis-palestinians-andelman/index.html

Whatever happened to Jared Kushner's peace plan?



Yet, from the get-go, there were some ominous signs. The plan, in what has become known as Jared Kushner's Vision for Peace -- a tribute to the efforts by the former President's son-in-law -- spelled out in a detailed map for Israel to halt expansion of any new settlement activity on a large swath of the West Bank without American consent, which Kushner affirmed would not be given "for some time." (However, the plan did allow Israel to annex its existing West Bank settlements -- in violation of international law.)

Indeed, a series of "talking points," which Kushner and the State Department cabled to all American embassies, and which Politico obtained and published, claimed that "Israel has agreed to comport its policies to this Vision for at least four years, including freezing all settlement activity in the West Bank in areas that this Vision designates for the future State of Palestine."

Sadly, Netanyahu, who is now facing prospects for a fifth election in two years after failing to form a government, has respected little of this. Settlement creep has continued

I know the loser can build coalitions to remain in office, but this is nuts.

Love the gif.

to Jared's big peace initiative. I thought he'd completely solved the Arab/Israeli problem. At least that's what we were told.
I think the only "problem" solved by Jared was how he was going to come up with his balloon payment on 666 Park Avenue. $500 million, or something like that, wasn't it? He found someone to give him the money. I wonder what the American taxpayers gave in return?
