?itok=dBp15AUK
Last week, Donald Trump told Reuters, I want to see peace with Israel and the Palestinians. There is no reason theres not peace between Israel and the Palestinians none whatsoever. There are, of course, all kinds of reasons standing in the way of peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Its one of the most difficult diplomatic challenges on the planet.
The comment, however, was apparently a reflection of the amateur presidents genuine beliefs. In fact, he reiterated the sentiment yesterday during a White House appearance with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Trump offered himself as a mediator, arbiter or facilitator to help reach a peace agreement between Israel and Palestine, but said, Any agreement cannot be imposed by the United States or any other nations.
Despite the decades of failed efforts to achieve a lasting peace in the region, Trump said his administration has a very, very good chance to get it done.
