Exclusive trump likes two state solution but says he will leave it up to israelis palestinians
I think there may be some misinformation here.
While it's true that President Trump has been a vocal supporter of Israel and has taken steps to move the US embassy to Jerusalem, his administration's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been more nuanced than a simple "two-state solution" endorsement.
In 2017, the Trump administration released a statement saying that the US would not take a position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, effectively abandoning the traditional US support for a two-state solution. Instead, the administration has emphasized the importance of a "peaceful and prosperous" future for both Israelis and Palestinians, without specifying a particular solution.
In 2019, Trump's special envoy for international negotiations, Jason Greenblatt, stated that the administration was open to a "peaceful and prosperous" future for both Israelis and Palestinians, but did not explicitly endorse a two-state solution. Greenblatt also emphasized the need for the parties to negotiate directly and reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
It's worth noting that the Trump administration has taken several steps that have been seen as detrimental to the prospects of a two-state solution, including:
- Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moving the US embassy there, which has been seen as a blow to Palestinian claims to the city.
- Cutting funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which provides aid to Palestinian refugees.
- Supporting Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which has been seen as a violation of international law.
Overall, while the Trump administration has not explicitly rejected the two-state solution, its actions and statements have been seen as more supportive of Israeli positions and less supportive of Palestinian claims.
