That didn’t take long did it…..? Back to the idiocy of a two state dissolution of Israel…..rsk
WASHINGTON—Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will meet with President Donald Trump in Washington on May 3, the White House said Wednesday.
Mr. Trump will use the visit to reaffirm the U.S. commitment to reaching a peace deal in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters in a briefing Wednesday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu already visited the White House earlier this year. During a joint news conference, Mr. Trump abandoned Washington’s decades-old push for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, saying the two sides should determine for themselves whether separate states are necessary for peace and hinting at a broader approach to Mideast discord. He also asked Mr. Netanyahu to “hold back on settlements for a little bit.” Mr. Netanyahu declined to agree to that.
Following Mr. Trump’s remarks, Mr. Abbas didn’t acknowledge the shift, and said he would continue to work with the U.S. administration on establishing two states. He also called on Israel to heed Mr. Trump’s call to hold back on settlements.
