BENJAMIN Netanyahu has admitted giving Trump’s Gaza peace plan ‘a quick scan’ on the way to the podium, promising to read it in full if it ever becomes relevant.
The Israeli prime minister enthusiastically agreed with the plan at the podium while only being glancingly familiar with six of its 20 points, but reassured observers there will be plenty of time to take it in if there is ever good reason to do so.
He continued: “Come on. You’re acting like this is my first peace plan.
“The combination of a halfwit president and Tony Blair takes me back to the classic roadmap for peace back in 2003, remember that one? Did I read that one? Hey, I read the word ‘roadmap’.
“After a while they get like Jack Reacher books; you don’t have to read them to know what happens. In the book Jack wins, in the real world no element of the peace plan will ever be achieved because of concessions neither side will make and we carry on as before.
“I do like the bit about having full US backing to ‘do whatever you would have to do’. That’s the bit I paid attention to. That’s the bit I’m keen on.”
President Trump said: “There, peace achieved. Now I’ll never have to think about the Middle East again.”
