Donald Trump, if elected as president in the fall, would likely support Israeli annexation of large settlement blocs in the West Bank if the stalemate in the peace process persists, Trump’s Israel adviser David Friedman told Jewish Insider on Thursday.
“My expectation is that if no agreement is reached by the parties, these areas (and perhaps others) will eventually be annexed by Israel,” Friedman said. “While I have not dealt with Mr. Trump on this specific issue, I think he would agree.”
The reference was made to an interview he gave this week to “>DailyMail.com “I think Israel really have to keep going. They have to keep moving forward.” Nevertheless, Trump reiterated his commitment to pursue peace between Israel and the Palestinians. “I mean lasting peace, not a peace that lasts for two weeks and they start launching missiles again,” he stressed.
