Trump unveils ‘realistic two-state solution’ for Middle East peace
Palestinians absent as plan offers route to statehood but recognises Israeli settlements in West Bank
Donald Trump has launched his “ultimate deal” for Middle East peace, saying his detailed 80-page plan would be a “realistic two-state solution” that had already been agreed to by Israel.
“Today Israel takes a big step towards peace,” Trump said in a joint press conference with the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, at the White House. “I was not elected to do small things or shy away from big problems,” he added.
