The Deal of the Century
(based partially on an article on the Yesha Council website)
[Edited and translated by Hillel Fendel]

U.S. President Trump's much-touted Deal of the Century is scheduled to be presented in the coming weeks. Trump hopes and expects that it will bring "peace" to the Middle East, at least between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. 

However, no matter its exact terms (currently still clouded in secrecy), it must be studied in the context of previous peace plans - all of which have failed - some before they started, and some just a bit later.
