The plan for Israel and the Palestinians put forward by the Trump administration has lost some momentum amid the coronavirus pandemic and the protests against police brutality. Yet getting this plan across the finish line is a crucial step for building President Trump’s foreign policy legacy.

The advantage of this plan over the many previous ones is that it recognizes that the Palestinians cannot be entrusted with a state so long as they don’t take the most elementary steps toward co-existence with Israel — recognizing its existence, disarming terror groups, not paying terrorists for killing Israelis, removing anti-Semitic propaganda from their schoolbooks. Skipping this step, as previous plans have attempted to do, is a proven recipe for failure.
