Trump peace plan

Both the West Bank settlers' Yesha Council and the Palestinian leadership rejected the plan, arguing it is too biased in favor of Israel.

The plan is divided into two parts, an economic portion and a political portion. On June 22, 2019, the Trump administration released the economic portion of the plan, titled "Peace to Prosperity". The political portion was released in late January 2020.
