President Donald J. Trump

BOLD VISION FOR PEACE: President Donald J. Trump recognizes it is time for a new

approach to achieve peace, security, dignity, and opportunity for Israel and the Palestinian

people.



This Vision is the most serious, realistic, and detailed plan ever presented, one that could

make Israelis, Palestinians, and the region safer and more prosperous.

This Vision is just the first step and provides the basis for historic progress toward

peace. The United States hopes this Vision will lead to direct negotiations between Israel

and the Palestinians.

It will be up to Israeli and Palestinian leaders to take courageous and bold actions to end the

political stalemate, resume negotiations on the basis of this Vision, and make lasting peace

and economic prosperity a reality.

If the Palestinians have concerns with this Vision, they should bring them forth in the

context of good-faith negotiations with the Israelis and help make progress for the region.

Mere opposition to this Vision is simply a declaration of support for the hopeless status quo

that is the product of decades of stale thinking.

DIPLOMATIC ACCOMPLISHMENT: President Trump is bringing together Israeli political

rivals in support of a detailed vision for peace and promoting normalized relations between

Israel and its neighbors.



President Trump secured agreement from both Prime Minister Netanyahu and opposition

leader Lieutenant General Benny Gantz to come to Washington, where they agreed to use

this Vision as a basis for negotiation.

For the first time in this conflict, President Trump has reached an understanding with Israel

regarding a map setting forth borders for a two-state solution.

President Trump has been bringing historic enemies in the region closer together, and his

actions are promoting normalized relations between Israel and its neighbors.

MUTUAL RECOGNITION AND INDEPENDENCE: This Vision proposes a realistic two-

state solution, offering a viable path to Palestinian statehood.



Israel has now agreed to terms for a future Palestinian State.

The Vision aims to achieve mutual recognition of the State of Israel as the nation-state of the

Jewish people and the future State of Palestine as the nation-state of the Palestinian people,

with equal civil rights for all citizens within each state.

The Vision creates a path for the Palestinian people to realize their legitimate aspirations for

independence, self-governance, and national dignity.

Under this Vision, neither Palestinians nor Israelis will be uprooted from their homes.

ISRAEL’S SECURITY:

This Vision takes into account the realities on the ground and fully

protects Israel’s security.



The Vision fully addresses Israel’s security requirements, does not ask Israel to take

additional security risks, and enables Israel to defend itself by itself against any threats.

The Vision provides for a demilitarized Palestinian state living peacefully alongside Israel,

with Israel retaining security responsibility west of the Jordan River.

Over time, the Palestinians will work with United States and Israel to assume more security

responsibility as Israel reduces its security footprint.

JERUSALEM AND HOLY SITES:

Israel will continue to safeguard Jerusalem’s Holy Sites

and will guarantee freedom of worship for Jews, Christians, Muslims, and people of all faiths.



The status quo at the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif will be preserved.

The special and historic role of the King of Jordan with regard to the Muslim Holy Shrines

in Jerusalem will be preserved.

All Muslims are welcome to peacefully visit al-Aqsa Mosque.

FUTURE STATE OF PALESTINE: The Vision delivers significant territorial expansion for

Palestinians and designates land reasonably comparable in size to the West Bank and Gaza

for the establishment of the State of Palestine.



Israel has agreed to a four-year land freeze to secure the possibility of a two-state solution.

Jerusalem will stay united and remain the capital of Israel, while the capital of the State of

Palestine will be Al-Quds and include areas of East Jerusalem.

The Vision’s map will more than double the size of the land currently used by the

Palestinians.

Beyond territory, the Vision provides for Palestinian use and management of facilities at the

Haifa and Ashdod ports, Palestinian development of a resort area on the north shore of the

Dead Sea, and continued Palestinian agricultural activity in the Jordan Valley.

The Vision proposes modern and efficient transportation links for easy travel and movement

of goods throughout the future state of Palestine, including Gaza and the West Bank.

NORMALIZATION: This Vision will end the refugee status quo and help put the region on a

truly transformative path: one with stability, security, and abundant opportunities for

prosperity.



The Middle East needs strong regional partnerships to counter Iran and terrorism, strengthen

security, and unlock vast opportunities for economic investment and regional prosperity.

President Trump has cultivated these regional partnerships, helping historic enemies identify

shared threats and mutually beneficial opportunities, facilitating the prospect of normalized

relationships between Israel and its neighbors.

This Vision will serve as a strong platform from which to further improve regional dynamics

and strengthen regional partnerships.

Under this Vision, Palestinian refugees will be given a choice to live within the future State

of Palestine, integrate into the countries where they currently live, or resettle in a third

country.

The United States will work with the international community to establish a generous trust

to aid in the process of resettling refugees.

PROSPERITY ACROSS THE REGION: This Vision, combined with the Peace to Prosperity

economic framework, will unlock the potential of a region long held hostage by conflict.



The Vision incorporates the massive $50 billion Peace to Prosperity economic plan, which

will spur the Palestinian economy.

When properly implemented, the Vision will:

Create more than 1 million new jobs;

More than double Palestinian GDP; and

Reduce unemployment below 10% and cut the poverty rate in half.
