Trump Surprises ’Israel’: Stop Building New Settlements

Local Editor

The Trump administration on Thursday told the apartheid "Israeli" entity to stop constructing new settlements because it may not help bring peace with Palestinians.

In the past, President Trump has suggested that he would break away from the Obama-era foreign policy to form better relations with "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who reportedly surprised the White House by announcing the construction of 5,500 new units in the West Bank last week.

"The American desire for peace between the "Israelis" and the Palestinians has remained unchanged for 50 years," the White House statement reads. "While we don't believe the existence of settlements is an impediment to peace, the construction of new settlements or the expansion of existing settlements beyond their current borders may not be helpful in achieving that goal."

The statement further added: "As the President has expressed many times, he hopes to achieve peace throughout the Middle East region."

It also said: "The Trump administration has not taken an official position on settlement activity and looks forward to continuing discussions, including with Prime Minister Netanyahu when he visits with President Trump later this month."
