The Biden administration’s plan to end the Gaza war included steps toward a Palestinian state. That’s according to the Times of Israel’s Jacob Magid, who reported Friday on a previously unseen U.S. government document for the Gaza Strip on the day after.
Ok, so what? Let’s go back to September, when Jerusalem formally accepted Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan. Remember the main critique of Benjamin Netanyahu? Joe Biden and Antony Blinken put the same plan on the table a year ago, and Bibi had no justifiable reason to not accept it.
Well, while that was evidently wrong back in September, we now have further proof: as revealed by Magid, the Biden White House’s 14-point plan for a post-war Gaza “characterized the initiative as a ‘first step toward establishing an independent and sovereign Palestinian state.’”
Unsurprisingly, that didn’t go down well in Jerusalem.
