What happened

The "Peace to Prosperity" plan was released January 28, 2020 after repeated delays. Palestinian leaders rejected it outright and boycotted the announcement. No Israeli-Palestinian agreement was reached. The administration instead brokered normalization deals between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco in late 2020.
