President Donald Trump unveiled a new peace plan Monday to end Israel’s siege on Gaza and, while the plan had initially received buy-in from top Arab leaders, last-minute changes made just moments before its unveiling have infuriated Arab officials, according to a report Tuesday from Axios.
Trump’s 20-point peace plan was developed over several weeks, and in conjunction with top Arab leaders such as those from Qatar, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
However, during Trump’s meeting Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, last-minute changes were introduced to the plan, and at the behest of Netanyahu, changes that very well could compromise its initial support among Arab leaders.
“Officials from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey were furious over the changes, according to sources with knowledge.
The Qataris even tried to convince the Trump administration not to release the detailed plan on Monday due to those objections.
