  President Donald Trump is set to decide this week when the administration will begin the rollout of the much anticipated Middle East peace plan. Dubbed the ‘Deal of the Century’ by the president, the plan will include a framework for final status talks ultimately leading to an agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

  According to a report Sunday evening by Channel 10 which cited senior American officials, Trump is scheduled to meet with senior administration officials this week to settle on a date for the plan’s release.
  –
  Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, who flew back to Washington recently to take part in the meeting, are among the senior administration members who will sit down with the president to plan out the ‘Deal of the Century’ rollout. National Security Advisor John Bolton, senior White House adviser Jared Kushner, and special White House envoy Jason Greenblatt are also expected to take part in the meeting with the president.

  President Trump is reportedly anxious to unveil the plan as soon as possible, and is still eyeing a December 2018 release. Senior officials within the Trump administration, however, advised the president to delay the peace plan’s rollout, especially if Israel holds early elections.
  –
  Ambassador David Friedman reportedly advised against releasing the peace plan during the Israeli election season, saying turning the election for the 21st Knesset into a referendum on the peace deal would be a mistake. The ongoing political turmoil in Israel and the possibility of early elections are said to be a key consideration in the timing of the peace plan’s release.
