Member of Knesset Amir Peretz (Labor) has responded to United States presidential advisor Jared Kushner's remarks on the US Middle East peace plan by saying the plan of US President Donald Trump "is important, but more important is what the answer in Jerusalem to this initiative will be."

The former minister wrote on Twitter, "Washington's involvement is very important and the economic and international framework that it will provide to the process is a critical, but the final status agreement, the peace agreement and its details will be determined here - in Jerusalem and Ramallah."
