Israel Hayom: Trump to Israel Hayom: The Palestinians are not looking to make peace

In interview with Israel Hayom Editor-in-Chief Boaz Bismuth, U.S. President Donald Trump says, "I have achieved more than I had promised" in first year of term • "Israel has to be careful with settlements," he says, adding that Israelis and Palestinians would be "foolish" not to make a peace deal.

"I expect to be here a long time," U.S. President Donald Trump said to me when I asked him whether the ayatollah regime would still be in place in Iran when he leaves office. "We will see."

When it comes to the leader of the free world, a remark like this can be taken as a semi-threat. One thing is clear: The U.S. no longer views Iran as a "stabilizing" power, or even remotely as one of the good guys in the region, the way Trump's predecessor, President Barack Obama, often did.

The "Palestinians" have no interest in peace. Cut off American unconditional support for them, and perhaps they might negotiate in good faith.

At the very least make support for "Palestine" highly conditiinal much like American "support" for Israel is. Maybe we will get somewhere.

Once "Palestine" understands they will need to respect Israel, give up tbeir obsession with destroying Israel, and Ameeica gives up its visceral hatred of Israel and its "man crush" on tne "Palestinians" peace may be possible.

The Israeli continue to steal their only home in the world, bully them, imprison them, killing them, and want to force them to accept all that as democratic right to Israel to exist?
No one with a minimum of dignity can accept that type of "peace".
