Trump Drops Push for Two-State Solution in Mideast

President and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hint at broader regional approach.

President Donald Trump abandoned Washington’s decades-old push for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, saying the two sides should determine for themselves whether separate states were necessary for peace and hinting at a broader approach to Mideast discord.

“I’m looking at two-state and one-state and I like the one that both parties like,” he said Wednesday at a White House press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “I’m very happy with the one that both parties like. I can live with either one.”
