    Speaking on Monday after talks with his Italian counterpart, Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said: “You have a peace deal which essentially calls for a settlement based on two states living side by side in peace and security.” He added: “(A) Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and the just settlement of refugees and just sharing water resources. This is the settlement that we believe is a fair and just settlement.”

    Trump said last week he could accept a two-state solution or a single-state arrangement if it is agreed upon by all sides. Administration officials later said the U.S. absolutely supports a two-state solution.

    In a 1972 “60 Minutes ” segment …it was reported that none of the Arab countries wanted to take in the Palestinians ….but now to go against Israel everyone on board !!!

    No Arab nation will make the statement that needs to be said. No solution at all will ever be possible until the Palestinians stop committing acts of terror – with zero tolerance by them for their own terrorists. All the fools (subscribers to political correctness) demand concessions of Israel, but never a cessation of terror from the Palis. Israel can never agree to a proposal that threatens every Israeli.

    In the past, every concession was met with an upsurge of terror. The Palestinians never lived up to a single commitment they made. No other Arab country wants to introduce these hate filled savages into their communities. They will rush to condemn Israel for protecting and defending itself. The previous administration behaved like an Arab country. This administration will hopefully not become a terror supporter.
