WASHINGTON, April 23 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump's senior advisor Jared Kushner said on Tuesday that the United States will unveil its disputed Middle East peace plan aimed to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Washington will wait until the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in early June to roll out the plan, Kushner told audience while attending the TIME 100 Summit in New York.

The senior advisor revealed few details about the long-awaited plan but said that it is "very detailed" and he hoped it will give a "comprehensive vision" for the Middle East peace process.

He said the delay of the rollout was also to wait for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to form a governing coalition after his election victory in April.

Kushner shunned away when asked if the plan is a "two-state solution."
U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy for international negotiations Jason Greenblatt has reportedly hinted that the U.S. peace plan would not include a two-state solution on the 1967 borders.

The Palestinians have repeatedly voiced their opposition to the plan, pointing to Washington's heavily tilted position toward Israel.

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki announced on Sunday the launch of a Palestinian diplomatic campaign to confront the so-called U.S. "Deal of the Century."

Wael Abu Yousif, executive committee member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), accused the United States of always being "a partner" of Israel and being hostile to the Palestinians and their rights.

The Palestinian Authority has refused to contact the U.S. government since Trump announced in December 2017 the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and relocation of the U.S. embassy in Israel to the city.
