The AIPAC say they appreciate President Trump's and his administration's efforts, "in consulting with leaders of the two largest political parties in Israel to present conflict resolution ideas, recognizing the critical security needs of our allies. We believe that direct, Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy is essential for peace. Two sustainable countries, dealing with both parties' concerns. "

The AIPAC added that "the Palestinian leadership has consistently refused direct talks with Israel in recent years. It is now vital that the Palestinians give up on the violence and boycotts in international forums and return to peace talks with Israel."

The Twitter tweet said: "We are pleased to see that the ambassadors from Oman, Bahrain and the UAE were in attendance, and we urge Arab states to play a constructive role in pushing Palestinians to continue negotiations with Israelis. Real peace will require hard compromises on both sides."

Jewish Republican Coalition CEO Matt Brooks said in response to the program's announcement that "the president and his team have put forth a bold proposal deeply rooted in America's core values ​​- freedom, opportunity and hope for the future."

Positive comments were also provided by the US Jewish Committee AJC with a tweet on Twitter stating "they welcome President Trump's serious effort to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, ensuring Israel's security and Jerusalem's undisputed position, while creating a way for a Palestinian state."

StandWithUs CEO Rose Rothstein expressed hope that "the program will be a step towards a better future for both nations. In the end, it is up to Israeli and Palestinian leaders to resolve their conflict through direct negotiations. "

Negative criticism came from Jay Street's lobbying, which described the feature as "the logical culmination of repeated steps taken by the government to verify the Israeli right's agenda, prevent the attainment of a viable solution and two-state negotiations, and ensure that the illegal occupation Of Israel in Palestinian territory in the West Bank will become permanent. "

Haley Soiper, executive director of the Democratic Jewish Council in America, said the program "is a green light for Israeli annexation of the West Bank, a deliberate appeal for a viable two-state solution and another example of how Trump is using Israel to advance his political agenda."

Increased visit to IFNotNow founder Emily Meyer when she described the program as "complete bankruptcy." According to her, the program "reveals the shameful way our government has taken care of the Israeli right - at the cost of Palestinian freedom - for our entire lives."
