Vagueness Creates Risk Of Sabotage

- Jeremy Bowen warns that vagueness gives actors room to sabotage the deal during a drawn-out process.
Regional Backing But No Palestinian Input
- Significant Arab countries and Turkey publicly backed the plan, creating regional momentum for negotiations.
- Bowen notes this momentum contrasts with the absence of Palestinian involvement in shaping the plan, a core weakness.
