Trump will be in Israel for a total of 26 hours, during which he will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin, as well as visit the Western Wall in Jerusalem, and Masada, a Roman-era fortress in the Judean Desert.Trump is expected to give a speech while at Masada, described by his aides as “warm and sympathetic toward Israel and the Jewish nation, whose people never yield”. U.S. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster told a White House briefing Friday that in Israel, Trump would “reaffirm America’s unshakable bond to the Jewish state”, and in his meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah, Trump “will express his desire for dignity and self-determination for the Palestinians. McMaster reportedly described the trip as “truly historic”, as “no president has ever visited the homelands and holy sites of the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faiths all on one trip”. Asked whether Trump would bring Netanyahu and Abbas together in the same room during the visit, McMaster said that would be up to the prime minister and Palestinian president.

If Trump make peace, Israeli Leftist abbandon American Jewish Liberals.

Israele and United States are working on a common understanding with regard to settlement construction, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the government on Thursday before heading to a second meeting this week with US special envoy Jason Greenblatt, appointed by President Donald Trump to oversee special international negotiations. In this period the relations between Israel and the White House are improving. The last US initiative under former US President Barack Obama broke down in April 2014. Palestinians have insisted that talks cannot be renewed unless Israel halts all West Bank settlement activity and Jewish building in east Jerusalem. Israel in turn has called for a renewal of direct talks without pre-conditions. It’s believed that Netanyahu has proposed to the Americans that Israel be allowed to build in the settlement blocs — including Gush Etzion, Ariel, Ma’aleh Adumim and Modi’in Illit — while freezing construction in the isolated settlements beyond the security barrier.
