New York Times Opinion Columnist Thomas Friedman has offered President-elect Donald Trump some friendly advice on resolving the Arab-Jewish conflict just 14 days after Trump’s landslide victory. There is enormous opportunity and appetite for a game-changing deal — if Trump wants to reach for it and only if he does it right.
