Biden and Bennett need to jointly adopt or dump Trump Peace Plan

By David Singer - posted Wednesday, 25 August 2021


  • Ceasing construction of Trump's security fence on America's southern border - facilitating increased unauthorised and illegal entry of aliens into the US.

    CNN reported on this continuing crisis on 13 August:

    The Biden administration is facing a "serious challenge" at the US southern border, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Thursday, saying the US has encountered an "unprecedented" number of migrants illegally crossing the border.

    During a news conference in Brownsville, Texas, Mayorkas stressed the sharp increase of
    migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border, many of whom are fleeing deteriorating conditions in their home countries.

     
  • Blocking completion of the Keystone XL pipeline(costing 11000 jobs) and reviewing oil-exploration leases granted by Trump in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge - reversing hallmark policies of Trump's administration championing the oil industry by promoting oil-exploration projects in the interests of securing US energy independence.
     
  • Ditching Trump's plans for a conditions-based orderly American withdrawal from Afghanistan and replacing it with an unconditional withdrawal - leaving behind billions of dollars of American sophisticated and highly-secret military equipment, up to 15000 American civilians, and thousands of Afghani civilians who helped the US military – and their families - at the mercy of the anti-US Taliban terrorist militants taking over Afghanistan.

Biden cannot – after these disastrous unilateral policy decisions – dump Trump's Plan without Bennett's approval.

Trump's Plan - the most comprehensive and detailed plan ever prepared by an American President for dividing sovereignty in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and Gaza between Arabs and Jews – remains the best way forward for ending the unresolved 100 years Jewish-Arab conflict.

Trump's Plan – and his vision for peace - will surely be hovering over Biden and Bennett when they face-off in their White House meeting this week.
