Trump Invites Israeli Leaders to White House for "Peace Plan" Unveiling
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
and Israeli opposition politician Benny Gantz to the White House next
week for the unveiling of Trump's so-called Middle East peace plan.
Palestinian leaders say they have not been consulted about the plan and
were not invited to the White House meeting. They have consistently
rejected U.S. overtures since May of 2018, when President Trump declared
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moved the U.S. Embassy there.
