NZFOI: A rather cynical view of the peace plan…
Every president in political trouble looks to foreign policy for a distraction, and US President Donald Trump is no different.
January began with the killing of Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani and ends with the release of a White House peace plan for Israelis and Palestinians. Surely it is no coincidence that all this is happening while the president is being impeached.
Trump is selling himself as both warmaker and peacemaker.
But while the president can undoubtedly order the killing of enemy leaders, he cannot snap his fingers and end a long-running conflict. Indeed, he is not seriously trying to do so. What was unveiled on Tuesday was a PR campaign, not a peace plan.
