U.S. Plans Middle East Peace Push after "Cooling Off" over Jerusalem
(AFP-France 24) The White House is to renew efforts to reach an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, senior administration officials said Friday. "We understand that the Palestinians may need a bit of a cooling off period, that's fine," said one senior administration official after President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. "We still continue to be focused on a peace process and how we ultimately bring that situation to a conclusion," said a second official. "We will be ready when the Palestinians are ready to reengage," said the first official.
