The Israeli-Palestinian Peace Plan Is a Much-Needed Dose of Reality

The reality is that there will never be a Palestinian "Right of return" to Israel, since such a policy would destroy the Jewish character of the state.

Finally, there is no way that Israel, a liberal democracy responsible for the security of its citizens, can hand over the Jordan Valley - an area with immense strategic importance irrespective of the Palestinian situation - to a newly created state that allies itself with unsavory nations and entertains the idea of entering into a unity government with Hamas, the theocratic terror group.

Trump's plan is the first to offer a map laying out what the final borders of the Palestinian nation might look like.

The U.S. would also infuse $50 billion into the new Palestinian state.

Israel's existence isn't contingent on the creation of a Palestinian state, only on security.

In the past, Palestinian negotiators sat back and rejected one concession after the next.

Trump's plan allows Palestinians to have a state in the world that exists.
