Add the Trump admin Middle East Peace efforts to the list of failures….

By

The Jared Kushner/Donald Trump efforts qualifies as more of a Saturday Night at the amateur hour effort….

People much smarter then them have not done much better ….

This is NOT about real estate….

Not about pushing money across the table….

Not about giving the Isreali’s what THEY want….

It is about MUCH more….

Trump people are incapable of THAT concept ….

In 2007, Jared Kushner’s family company purchased 666 Fifth Avenue, a Manhattan office building, for a then-record $1.8 billion at the height of the real estate boom. It was widely regarded as one of the worst deals in Manhattan real estate history, since Kushner could never secure enough tenants to cover his mortgage payments.

Now Kushner has moved onto much bigger deals — a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
Except it’s all a lot more complex than the world of Manhattan real estate. The deal that Kushner is now offering the Palestinians makes his disastrous Fifth Avenue purchase look like the Dutch purchase of Manhattan from the Indians in 1626 — for the equivalent of not much more than $100.
That’s because Kushner is offering the Palestinians bupkis as his opening bid. You read that right. Kushner’s opening bid for one of the most important real estate deals in the 21st century is: Palestinians, you get nothing.
Yes, Kushner’s economic plan for the Palestinians, announced on Saturday, is $50 billion of investment. But no country, including the United States, has actually put a dime of that money on the table.
Talk about a leveraged real estate investment! This is like Kushner’s father-in-law’s real estate play where investors paid him to put the Trump name on a building, while he put up no money up himself.
And as far as we can discern from reports about what else might be in the tightly held Kushner plan, there is no plan for an actual Palestinian state nor for the return of any Palestinian lands annexed by the Israelis. In fact, quite the reverse — the plan will likely try to codify Israel’s annexations of Palestinian territory….
…
In other words, Kushner’s peace plan is predictably dead on arrival…
