Trump Delays Plan

President Trump is chomping at the bit to present the Deal of the Century. He knows his plan has the best chance of succeeding if Netanyahu remains the prime minister of Israel, as both leaders agree that Israel should have sovereignty over the Golan Heights and the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). But with Israel's political future being so uncertain, Trump wants to present it soon in the case that he isn't able to personally enact it.
"The Trump administration’s reasoning is clear. If there’s an Israeli election in March, there probably won’t be a government until May, bringing them very close to the presidential election. It’s not likely that Trump will actually be able to bring about the “Deal of the Century,” as he called peace between Israel and the Palestinians, and he would want to present himself in as positive a light as possible so close to his re-election bid."
Trump's peace plan is on the way: is Israel ready?
