UNITED NATIONS — President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he wanted a two-state solution to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the clearest expression yet of his administration's support for such an outcome.

The Trump administration has in the past said it would support a two-state solution if both sides agreed to it.

Trump, in a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations, also said he wanted to unveil a peace plan in the next two to three months.

"I like a two-state solution. That's what I think works best ... That’s my feeling," said Trump, who is attending the annual U.N. gathering of world leaders.

Netanyahu has said that any future Palestinian state must be demilitarized and must recognize Israel as the state of the Jewish people — conditions that Palestinians say show he is not sincere about peacemaking.

The United States' Arab allies are strong proponents of a two state solution.

“I really believe something will happen. They say it’s the toughest of all deals,” Trump said.

He added that Israel will have to do something good for the other side without elaborating.

Doubts have mounted over whether Trump’s administration can secure what he has called the “ultimate deal” since December, when the president recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and then moved the U.S. Embassy there.

"It is a dream of mine to get that done prior to the end of my first term," Trump said of an agreement on the conflict.

Jerusalem is one of the major issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Both sides claim it as a capital.

Trump’s move outraged the Palestinians, who have since boycotted Washington’s peace efforts, led by Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner.

The Palestinians want to establish a state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. Israel captured those territories in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed East Jerusalem in a move not recognized internationally. Israel regards all of the city as its eternal and indivisible capital.

I don't expect Trump to put much effort into pushing for a deal- he will declare that this is a goal, maybe get a photo- op and leave it up to Israel and Palestine to not talk with each other.

In his rambling press conference today Trump said he would back any solution- one state, two states. He just wants to get the credit.


"If the Israelis and the Palestinians want one state that's OK with me, if they want two states that's OK with me. I'm happy if they're happy," Trump said. "I'm a facilitator, I want to see if I can get a deal done so that people don't get killed anymore.

"This would be the hardest thing. Except maybe healthcare."

If he really wants peace with the Palestinians and Israel why has he not tried to get them together to talk? He only meets with one side and cuts off assistance to the other.

If they want to talk to eachother they can, twisting Israel's arm would mean impeachment faster than you can say impeachment.

Since that happened with every other president who tried to obtain Peace in the Middle East?

There's that theory that Lewinsky was set up by the Israelis to take down Clinton because he wasn't playing ball at first. So they sent a Jewish girl to play with Clinton's balls.

And then there is the theory that the whole sex angle was cooked up to save him from the other more serious charges.
