After the meeting of Ibn Salman, which was not announced by Saudi Arabia … Does the task of breaking Trump in Riyadh

White House adviser Jared Kouchner visited a number of Gulf states allied with the United States this week to rally support for his unheralded plan for peace in the Middle East.

Some details of the "leaked" plan indicate that little progress has been made in responding to Arab demands, Reuters reported.

According to the agency, two sources said on Wednesday that Kouchner's approach to ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict had not progressed since his last visit to the region in June, mainly focusing on economic initiatives at the expense of the pivotal agreement "land for peace". For the official Arab position.

Palestinians have refused to discuss any peace plan with the United States since US President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in 2017. A number of Arab leaders have also rejected any agreement that does not deal with the status of Jerusalem or the right of return.

Kouchner, the son-in-law of President Trump, met this week with leaders of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Oman and arrived in Turkey on Wednesday.

Three sources told Reuters that Kouchner traveled to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday despite the absence of an official statement during the visit or his meeting with King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The Saudi government's communication center did not respond to a request for comment.

The White House said that US President George W. Bush's adviser, Jared Kouchner, had met Tuesday with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to discuss "increased cooperation" between the United States and Saudi Arabia, as well as peace efforts.

The Riyadh meeting was their first direct meeting since the Saudi Crown Prince was named after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey last October.

One source said the plan presented by Kouchner this week apparently did not take into account previously accepted Arab demands on the status of Jerusalem and the right of Palestinian refugees to return and Israeli settlements in the occupied territories.

As part of the Arab peace initiative of 2002, Arab countries offered to normalize their relations with Israel in exchange for an agreement to create a state for the Palestinians and a complete withdrawal by Israel of occupied land in 1967.

The source said Kouchner, a real estate developer with little experience in international diplomacy and political negotiations, wanted to reach an agreement before agreeing on the details.

The source added that the plan included a "substantial" financial contribution from the Gulf States but gave no details.
