[Other Israeli leaders remain clueless of Trump plan?] PM Netanyahu Meets with Jared Kushner, Jason Greenblatt and David Friedman

Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA: While many foreign officials - including the
Secretary General of the UN - have been reportedly briefed regarding
President Trump's "Plan", it would appear that besides Prime Minister
Netanyahu himself every other Israeli minister has been kept "out of the
loop".

There's a profound difference between the feedback that employees of Mr.
Netanyahu - including Ambassador Dermer - can give to Mr. Netanyahu and what
ministers can contribute.

Its been argued that this doesn't matter since the Palestinians can be
relied upon to keep the Trump Plan a dead letter. So there's no need to
involve others.

But even if it becomes a "dead letter", there's the very real danger that it
sets the contours of an unworkable STARTING POINT for negotiations at some
point in the future.

Over the years a key Israeli tactic has been to explain that the ruling
coalition won't accept "x".

The question remains if its better for the Trump team to learn this
explicitly as it pitches its ideas behind closed doors or instead via news
reports after the plan goes public and Israeli MKs and ministers react.
