Trump says ‘ultimate deal’ possible for peace in Middle East

“President Trump is the first American president to visit the wall while he was in office”.

While the two talked at length about peace negotiations, with Abbas confirming he is “committed to working with (Trump) to reach a historic peace deal between us and Israel”, Palestinians rallied outside chanting slogans such as “Trump, listen!”

“Israel has no reason to relinquish its control of the Palestinian territories”.

He also commended the importance of the holding of the Arab-Islamic-American Summit in the Saudi capital on Sunday.

It is not a religious conflict, and respecting the Abrahimic religions is an original part of Palestinian beliefs, Abbas stated.

Earlier this month Friedman said that the United States will not demand from Israel a settlement freeze as a precondition for restarting peace talks with the Palestinians. And he also spoke of Israeli settlements and occupation and Palestinian prisoners. He did not weigh in Israeli settlements, the status of Jerusalem or even whether the U.S. would continue to insist on a two-state solution giving the Palestinians sovereign territory. “The fundamental problem we have here is the definition of peace”, the Florida Republican told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day”. “It’s between us and occupation”, Abbas said.

Imprisoned Palestinian Liberation Organisation commander Marwan Barghouti used the trip to urge the US President to save thousands of Palestinian prisoners who have been on hunger strike for 37 days.

At the signing of an executive order protecting religious liberty earlier this month, Vice President Pence, who is known for his honest faith, introduced Trump as a “believer” who “loves his family and loves his country with an unshakeable faith in God”. And their demands are humane and just. “And I’m not disputing that it did”, he said. “Mr. President, I extend my hand to you to be your partner in this noble mission”. It undermines the realization of a two-state solution.

“I had a meeting this morning with president Abbas and can tell you that the Palestinians are ready to reach for peace”, Trump said. And Prime Minister Netanyahu has promised the same. “Ultimately there isn’t a single concession the Palestinians can make now that would lead towards a peace deal”, Baconi saod. “The president notably avoided all of the thorny issues that have stymied peace efforts for decades”, The Associated Press noted.

Abbas said his recent visit to the White House, at which Trump likewise promised economic aid, gave “so much hope and optimism of the possibility to make true a dream, a long-awaited dream and ambition, and that is lasting and justice-based peace”.

“Muslim nations must be willing to take on the burden, if we are going to defeat terrorism and send its wicked ideology into oblivion”.
