U.S. officials say the Trump administration is staffing up a Middle East team at the White House in anticipation of rolling out its much-heralded but largely mysterious Israeli-Palestinian peace plan in the coming months. The National Security Council began last week to approach other agencies seeking volunteers to join the team, which will work for Trump’s Mideast peace pointmen Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, according to the officials.
