"I think (Trump) loves Israel," said Chaim Silberstein, spokesman for the Beit El settlement outside of Ramallah. Trump quickly walked back his oft-repeated campaign promise to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and he criticized Israeli settlements as "not good" for peace. At their joint White House appearance, Trump told Netanyahu to "hold back on settlements for a bit." It depends on what is the position of President Trump. Israeli settlements there are illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this on historical and religious grounds.
