Daily Mail: Donald Trump unveils his 'vision' for 'two-state solution' to bring peace to the Middle East - with a TUNNEL linking the West Bank and the Gaza Strip
* Donald Trump unveils Middle East peace 'vision' in the East Room of the White House , standing beside Benjamin Netanyahu
* White House pointedly avoids using the word 'plan' in describing what was unveiled in formal statement - but Trump tweets the word 'plan' anyway
* Trump's outline would offer a two-state solution with a defined map of Israel and Palestine and a freeze on new Israeli settlements
* It would join the Gaza Strip to the West bank by a tunnel making the two Palestinian territories contiguous
* But it would also require the Palestinians to reduce their territorial claims - something they have already said they will not do
* No Palestinians were present at the unveiling of the 'vision,' nor any Congressional Democrats, nor Netanyahu's political rival Benny Gantz
* Critics say the scheme is an attempt to boost Netanyahu's election chances; hours earlier he gave up seeking immunity from corruption charges
Donald Trump unveiled his long-awaited Middle East peace 'vision' Tuesday afternoon with embattled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his side - saying there would be a 'two-state solution' with a tunnel linking the West Bank to the Gaza Strip.
'My vision provides a win win solution for both sides,' the president said to great applause from the pro-Israel audience at the White House.
Trump said it was a 'vision for peace, prosperity and a new future' for both Israel and Palestine as he spoke in the East Room of the White House, reading from a teleprompter and declining to take questions.

A great plan that will satisfy all but the Palestinians and the Israelis
Saying the Palestinians should surrender some land is a no starter.
Oh well. At least we know it won't work. Now perhaps we can stop wasting precious time and other valuable resources on this.
I think this might just work. Any other day I would agree, it's a non-starter. Not this time..
All previous plans required Israel’s withdrawal from the Jordan Valley, a frontier that is critical to it's defence. It gives the country strategic depth and without, its too skinny in its middle to defend.
Annexation plans for the Jordan Valley are already being drawn up for Sundays cabinet meeting.
Its happening already...
The so called Palastinians have refused every plan since 1947 including the ones the have gave them 95% of their demands. And they will continue to refuse until they get 100% which is the Right of Return which will flood Israel with muslims in effect ending Israel.
