McMaster: Trump not giving up on Mideast peace amid video backlash

Source: The Hill




BY BRETT SAMUELS - 12/03/17 09:35 AM EST

National security advisor H.R. McMaster said Sunday that President Trump is not giving up on a Mideast peace agreement after Trump retweeted anti-Muslim videos and reports that the president will recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

"I'm not sure what decision he'll make. We've given him options," McMaster said on "Fox News Sunday."

"There are options involving the move of an embassy at some point in the future, which I think, ... could be used to gain momentum ... toward a peace agreement, and a solution that works both for Israelis and for Palestinians," he continued.

Trump is expected next month to once again delay the decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which was a major campaign promise, The Associated Press reported on Friday.

He was repeatedly asked on the Fox show, about Trump retweeting fake videos from the hate group Britain First.
He never answered the question, but each time responded how Trump wants to keep America safe from the 'wicked terrorists'.

Trumplethinskin went to Jared. And now that the Arab world knows that Jared was stealing land from Arabs, it's likely that Jared won't be spending more time in the Mideast.

As long as 45's sending Jared, there isn't one thing that's serious about this process. Jar Jar a jerk and an asshole who only repeats what Netanyahu tells him to the Palestinians, too stupid to think of anything else to add, whether it's good or bad. drumpf doesn't want peace, he wants war and little asswipe certainly isn't going to do anything at all to stop it.
