Former U.S. President Donald Trump leaves after addressing members of the media following the verdict in his hush-money trial at Trump Tower on May 31, 2024, in New York City. A New York jury found Trump guilty Thursday of all 34 charges of covering up a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep her story of their alleged affair in 2006 from being published during the 2016 presidential election. Trump is the first former U.S. president to be convicted of crimes.

Trump's Peace to Prosperity Plan (2020)

In January 2020, then-U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled the "Peace to Prosperity" plan, which sought to "achieve peace, security, dignity, and opportunity for Israel and the Palestinian people."

The plan included Israel agreeing to a four-year "land freeze" to help secure a two-state solution and a $50 million economic plan to "spur the Palestinian economy." The deal also included Israeli sovereignty over some settlements in the West Bank and land swaps. 

According to the American Jewish Committee, most of the international community rejected the plan, and the Palestinians didn't participate in the drafting of the plan and also rejected it.
