JARED KUSHNER SUGGESTS TWO-STATE SOLUTION FAILED AS HE TALKS UP HIS UNCONVENTIONAL MIDDLE EAST PEACE PLAN
BY JESSICA KWONG ON 4/23/19 AT 3:30 PM EDT
President Donald Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner, a senior White House adviser who has been working on a Middle East peace plan, suggested at the TIME 100 Summit Tuesday that the two-state solution approach of the past failed.
The two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict calls for an independent state of Israel as well as an independent state of Palestine. Time senior White House correspondent Brian Bennett asked Kushner at the summit in New York if the apparently soon-to-be-released peace plan will include the two-state solution.
Weve taken what I think is an unconventional approach. Weve studied the past efforts and how they failed and why they failed, Kushner replied. If people focus on the old traditional talking points were never going to make progress.
Kushner characterized how what he and his team will put out is different.
Normally they start with a process and then hope that the process leads to a resolution for something to happen, he said of past efforts. What weve done is the opposite.

I think they are going to suggest unilateral actions that they think will force the Palestinian leadership to make some hard decisions.
The 2 state solution is dead, even the progressive parties in Israel know that.
