The NYT published a major report yesterday on President Trump's Mid East trip which it titled "Trump Leaves Middle East With Hope for Peace, but No Plan for It". This title didn't reflect the article which went no farther than to say, "What Mr. Trump did not do was reveal the least hint of what, if anything, was behind it", referring to his hope. The article later acknowledged that "strict secrecy" was a good thing.
A close scrutiny of the statements made in the last few days and the events leading up to this trip would strongly suggest that President Trump is right to be cautiously optimistic because he has a plan.
After relentless pressure from former President Barack Obama and Secretary John Kerry, PM Benjamin Netanyahu came close to accepting the Kerry framework based on the '67 ceasefire lines with swaps as borders and a divided Jerusalem.
