Pompeo says israel palestinian peace still a us priority #
According to various news sources, including the Associated Press and The New York Times, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has stated that the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is still a priority for the United States.
In a recent interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Pompeo said: "We're still committed to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. We're still working on it. We're still trying to find a way to get to a place where Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and security."
Pompeo also emphasized the importance of the Abraham Accords, a normalization agreement between Israel and several Arab states, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Sudan. He stated that the Accords demonstrate the potential for peace and cooperation between Israel and its Arab neighbors, and that the US is committed to building on this momentum.
However, it's worth noting that the Trump administration's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been widely criticized by many in the international community, including the European Union, the United Nations, and many Arab states. The administration's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, move the US embassy to Jerusalem, and cut funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) have all been seen as undermining the prospects for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Despite these criticisms, Pompeo's comments suggest that the US remains committed to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, although the exact nature and scope of its efforts are unclear.
