"The plan designates defensible borders for the State of Israel and does not ask Israel to compromise on the safety of its people, affording them overriding security responsibility for land west of the Jordan River. For Palestinians, the Vision delivers significant territorial expansion, allocating land roughly comparable in size to the West Bank and Gaza for establishing a Palestinian State. Transportation links would allow efficient movement between Gaza and the West Bank, as well as throughout a future Palestine. The plan does not call for uprooting any Israelis or Palestinians from their homes."
- Ceasing construction of Trump's security fence on America's southern border - facilitating increased unauthorised and illegal entry of aliens into the US.
CNN reported on this continuing crisis on August 13, 2021:
"The Biden administration is facing a "serious challenge" at the US southern border, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Thursday, saying the US has encountered an "unprecedented" number of migrants illegally crossing the border.
During a news conference in Brownsville, Texas, Mayorkas stressed the sharp increase of migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border, many of whom are fleeing deteriorating conditions in their home countries."

Biden cannot--after these disastrous unilateral policy decisions--dump Trump's Plan without Bennett's approval. Trump's Plan - the most comprehensive and detailed plan ever prepared by an American President for dividing sovereignty in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza between Arabs and Jews--remains the best way forward for ending the unresolved 100 years Jewish-Arab conflict. Trump's Plan--and his vision for peace - will surely be hovering over Biden and Bennett when they face-off in their White House meeting this week.

- Blocking completion of the Keystone XL pipeline (costing 11000 jobs) and reviewing oil-exploration leases granted by Trump in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge - reversing hallmark policies of Trump's administration championing the oil industry by promoting oil-exploration projects in the interests of securing US energy independence.
- Ditching Trump's plans for a conditions-based orderly American withdrawal from Afghanistan and replacing it with an unconditional withdrawal - leaving behind billions of dollars of American sophisticated and highly-secret military equipment, up to 15000 American civilians, and thousands of Afghani civilians who helped the US military--and their families - at the mercy of the anti-US Taliban terrorist militants taking over Afghanistan.
