The Donald’s Mideast peace plan (you know, the one that allegedly has us giving up part of Sinai to the Palestinians) isn’t getting much traction. The White House’s effort to build support for the plan and the “Palestinian economic conference” due to kick it off next week in Bahrain isn’t going too well. Iraq and Lebanon are refusing to take part in the gathering, while Israel is yet to announce its attendance. Jordan, which had said last week that it would be attending, is reportedly still weighing its options. And Egypt and Morocco are coming under pressure from the Palestinians to boycott the event. The National has the rundown on who is and isn’t taking part.

UN chief Antonio Guterres also doesn’t approve, saying that there can be “no plan B” to the two-state solution.
