Photo: AFPWashington/New York: President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he’d prefer to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by creating two separate states, re-aligning himself with the traditional US position on an eventual peace deal. Trump also said his administration would produce its long-awaited attempt at a new Mideast peace plan — devised in part by son-in-law Jared Kushner — within about four months. “I like two-state solution,” Trump said at a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations General Assembly. Many officials in Netanyahu’s government oppose a Palestinian state, and the prime minister himself has expressed skepticism that a Palestinian nation adjoining Israel would be peaceful.
