WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Israeli President Shimon Peres on a visit to Washington reportedly will present the outlines of a peace plan that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expects to unveil in May.

Peres will be in Washington next week, the Israeli Embassy said in a release Thursday, and arrangements for meetings with "government leaders" are under way.

Israeli media have reported that Peres will meet with President Obama and present the outlines of the peace plan that Netanyahu expects to introduce in an address at the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy forum. The White House had no comment.

The idea has been brought up before. But the Quartet members and the Palestinians rejected it.
