Speaking to reporters on his peace plan while on his way to Miami for a political event, Trump said his plan will be met with negative reactions by palestinians but assured that "it’s actually very positive for them."


The Middle East peace plan is a document which proposes solutions in order to address in detail the thorny political issues between Israel and the Palestine, like the status of Jerusalem.


Trump who is set to meet with Netanyahu and Gantz nextweek Tuesday said " It’s a great plan," " It’s a plan that really would work."


U.S Vice President, Mike Pence extended an invitation to the Israeli leaders while on a visit to the U.S Embassy on Thursday in Jerusalem.


There has not been any mention of an invitation to Palestinian President or his spokesperson, Nabil Abu Rudeineh. However, Trump said his administration communicated with Palestinian and will keep a line of communication open.
