    US President Donald Trump and his team of advisers have begun drafting their concrete plan to end the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the New York Times reported in a comprehensive report that outlined the US move, which was aimed at overcoming all previous US initiatives. What Trump says is " the final agreement ". 

    Trump's advisers, relatively new to the peace process in the Middle East , have been working for 10 months on the thorniest aspects of the world's most intractable conflict, according to White House officials ., Who added that Trump and his team have now moved to a new stage in their adventure in the hope that they will crystallize what they have been able to know in concrete steps to end the impasse that thinner heads with more experience on the region. 

    The New York Times did not mention that the aspirations for peace are connected to a network of other issues that dominate the region, as reflected in recent days by the escalating confrontation between the Arab world and Iran-backed Hezbollah . 

    Israel shares Saudi Arabia's same concerns about Hezbollah as well as Iran's attempts to build a land corridor that runs through southern Syria, saying that in the event of a war with Hezbollah, it could fail any initiative with the Palestinian side.
    However, the paper said the group was gathering "preliminary documents" on various topics related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and quoted officials as saying they expected to address existing points of contention such as the status of   occupied Jerusalem and settlements in the occupied West Bank. Although Trump has not declared his commitment to a Palestinian state, the experts said they expect his plan to focus on the so-called two-state solution, which has been at the heart of peace efforts for years. 

    "We have spent a lot of time listening and interacting with Israelis, Palestinians and regional leaders over the past few months to help reach a lasting peace agreement," said Jason Greenblatt, Trump's Middle East peace envoy and chief negotiator.

    "We will not set an artificial timetable for developments or any specific ideas, nor will we impose any agreement," he said. "Our goal is to facilitate, not dictate, a permanent peace agreement to improve the living conditions of Israelis and Palestinians and the security situation in the region." 

    On the backdrop of the US moves, the Trump, who considers himself the maker of agreements, decided to enter the challenge when he took office in January, after he was interested in the idea of ​​being successful where other presidents failed, and entrusted to his son-in-law And his chief adviser, Jared Kouchner. She pointed out that both have no prior experience on the file and that the initiative was criticized, but that the president to bring a relative to do the task was seen as an indication of the seriousness of the move in the region.

    The Trump team sees a combination of factors that make the moment ripe for a new initiative, including the desire of Arab states to reach a final settlement of the conflict, in order to focus again on Iran, which they see as the biggest threat. 

    In taking this into consideration, it explains Egypt's keenness to foster reconciliation between Mahmoud Abbas, who heads the West Bank and Hamas, which controls Gaza, in an agreement that strengthens the status of the Palestinian Authority as a representative of the Palestinian people. 

    The New York Times said Saudi Arabia had invited Abbas to visit Riyadh to stress the importance of reconciliation.




    Nimrod Novik, a co-researcher at the Israeli Policy Forum, who served as foreign affairs adviser to former prime minister Shimon Peres , who took part in the Oslo negotiations in the 1990s, said the favorable moment was approaching. "But it is clear that the key questions are whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will decide to accept that?" And "Will President Trump, when he receives the plan from a platform, decide that it deserves the political capital required?" 

    "Neither Netanyahu nor Abbas is in a good position to negotiate," the paper said. The former faces corruption investigations and pressure from the right in its narrow alliance to make no concessions.

    Trump's plan is about a two-state solution, which has been at the heart of peace efforts for years 

    "


    What remains dominant is the uncertainty, especially in the ranks of those who have spent long years struggling to overcome the same challenges and through the same series of tools. 

    In addition to Kouchner and Greenblatt, the Trump team includes two other people, Dina Powell, deputy national security adviser, and David Friedman, the US ambassador to Tel Aviv. 

    The team is in consultation with US Consul General in Jerusalem, Donald Bloom, and other officials at the State Department and the National Security Council, officials said, stressing that efforts to achieve the initiative will not take place before the beginning of next year.
    On the other hand, the New York Times reported that Trump and his team have no less embarrassment in showing their allegiance to Israel. The American president has previously been proud of being Israel's "greatest friend." Kouchner, Greenblatt and Friedmann are all Orthodox Jews and have close ties to Israel. 

    While Powell remained a Copts and was born in Egypt, Kouchner developed close ties with Saudi and Arab officials and finally returned from a visit to Riyadh. Trump met three times with Netanyahu and Abbas separately. 

    In addition, Israeli and Palestinian officials expressed concern that Trump and his team are still naïve, do not know much about the Middle East and are not effective in achieving their goals.

    Dennis Ross, a veteran peace negotiator in the Middle East, said the Trump team "did a good job of presenting themselves as able to hear the parties," and that they are now "seen very seriously" in the region. 

    "If you simply resume talks without being accompanied by anything, no one will take what you are doing very seriously," he said. "People will say we've seen this before, you have to show people that something new is going on this time." 

    The newspaper said that some experts believe that the Trump scheme may come up with items to enhance confidence that each party has agreed in advance. For Israel, this would mean limiting settlement activities and restricting them to existing ones, failing to seize new land, re-committing to a two-state solution and reallocating a small part of the West Bank to give the Palestinians greater powers.

    As for Palestine, this could mean a return to full security cooperation with Israel, an end to the search for international recognition, and a cessation of wages for the families and families of Palestinian prisoners. For Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan, they can commit to opening air conditions against flights, providing work visas, and connecting telecommunications networks.
