Report: Trump peace plan will not include settlement evacuation (Haaretz)
White House denies report, which also said the plan would include an independent Palestinian state negotiated with land swaps not necessarily on 1967 lines
The Donald Trump administration's plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace will be based on an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel, not necessarily according to 1967 lines, Israel Television News (formerly Channel 2 News) reported on Saturday. The White House denied the report.
Based on Israeli sources, the report said that US President Donald Trump intends to propose the Palestinians declare independence, after which the United States will recognise the Palestinian state. The Palestinians will also receive hundreds of millions of dollars from Sunni Arab countries as aid.
In addition, the United States is expected to adopt the principle of land swaps, but not necessarily according to the 1967 lines, said the report.
