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 Trump’s 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.

“We’ve taken what I think is an unconventional approach. We’ve studied the past efforts and how they failed and why they failed,” Kushner replied. “If people focus on the old traditional talking points we’re 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 we’ve 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.
