Trump’s victory leaves Obama with only one option on Israel-Palestine

Trump’s victory leaves Obama with only one option on Israel-Palestine | 972 Magazine

It is extremely difficult to predict what Donald Trump’s actual policies will be – common wisdom is that a weak and poorly informed president depends on the people around and below him – but it’s a pretty safe guess that Trump won’t continue efforts to broker a final agreement on a two-state solution. The GOP removed the very idea of Palestinian statehood from its platform ahead of the elections. Those around Trump have taken positions in favor of West Bank settlements and against previous efforts to push the Israeli government towards a deal with the Palestinians. Others in the president-elect’s circle – probably including Trump himself – have strong isolationist tendencies.

  1. When Bibi meets Trump main topic will be rocognizing Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel. Israel wants a "jewish" state of Israel. Keep an eye on the Golan Heights. Ask yourselves,who has profited from every crisis of chaos in the M/E.
