Trump on Israel, elections, and the Deal of the Century

US President Donald Trump said several interesting things today, about his Deal of the Century and Israel.

1. The plan will be announced tomorrow. 

2. Benny Gantz is here so there will not be claims that the USA is intervening in Israeli elections

3. They [Benny Gantz and Benjamin Netanyahu] are two good candidates. You have a very strange electoral system, being already in the third round of elections.

4. I think the Deal has a good chance.. people have worked on this for many years, I think we are very close..many Arab countries have already agreed to it and think it is a wonderful plan..

5. There is a great chance that the Palestinians will not accept the Deal. We know this, but we hope they will negotiate and discuss it. 

is this deal dependent on being accepted by both sides, plus other countries or s it going to be imposed no matter what?

how have the Arab countries already agreed to the plan if the details have not yet been made public? Has Israel been the last to be told? There was a news report earlier that Jordan has said it will reject Trump's plan - with Jordan probably being the most important Arab country on the Palestinian side, their refusal makes me wonder more about the Arab states that have accepted it and think it is wonderful.

Gantz's invitation to avoid looking like intervening is interesting.

We do have an unusual system, and the politicians do not want to fix it
