Trump reiterates neutrality on two-state solution, but says he ‘likes’ it

Visiting Washington in the first weeks of Donald Trump’s reign, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was not going to be denied what he considered his proper place in the line of foreign leaders paying their obeisance to our erratic new president, he of the yellow hair and small vocabulary.Trump is unpopular among Palestinians because the new president has broken from his predecessor and adopted friendlier positions to the Israeli government, including a vague stance on Palestinian statehood and a more lenient approach to settlements. His infamous “I’m looking at two state and one state, and I like the one that both parties like” is not a declaration of policy.
