Ehud Olmert, former Israeli leader, says he hopes President Trump's Middle East peace plan succeeds

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Wednesday he's "not jealous" of President Trump's Middle East peace plan proposal, even though his own efforts did not succeed.This comes after Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, spoke out against Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's plans to present an alternative peace plan, calling their actions "almost pathetic." "It comes from a lot of jealousy that they couldn't do it themselves," Kushner said at a United Nations Security Council briefing on the Trump proposal, which the Palestinians have flatly rejected.Olmert, whose own proposal in 2008 failed to reconcile Israelis and Palestinians, said he "will be the most enthusiastic supporter of President Trump if he succeeds." "I thinks this was a slip of the tongue... He no longer holds any position in government but says he still speaks with Abbas "every now and then."The Trump administration's Middle East peace plan calls for a much smaller Palestinian state with a capital on the eastern edge of Jerusalem, which Olmert sees as "a basis for further efforts to negotiate.""One thing is a two-state solution, which is fundamental for anything in the future.
