Trump “likes” two-state solution

(JTA) – President Donald Trump said he “likes” the two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict while reiterating his noncommittal approach. Asked during an interview with Reuters Feb. 23 whether he had backed away from the two-state concept during his Feb. 15 joint White House appearance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said, “No, I like the two-state solution.” But, he added, “I ultimately like what both parties like.” His position diverges with that of previous U.S. presidents, who said two states was the only viable solution for resolving the conflict. During the meeting with Netanyahu, Trump told reporters, “I’m looking at two states and one state, and I like the one both parties like. I can live with either one.”
