U.S. officials say the two sides remain aligned on the strategic goals but differ on timing and implementation, with the plan’s advancement being coordinated among Washington, Jerusalem, and regional mediators as reports from Axios and other outlets emphasize the urgency of reviving the stalled initiative.
