Trump said the Israelis and Palestinians had to agree on terms, not have them imposed by the United States or any other country. “I will do whatever is necessary to facilitate the agreement, to mediate, to arbitrate ― anything they’d like to do,” Trump said. Trump first publicly signaled the policy shift during the February White House visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “We will be discussing details of what has proven to be a very difficult situation between Israel and the Palestinians,” Trump said. It’s something that I think is, frankly, maybe not as difficult as people have thought over the years.
