Quote of the Day

And if there's ever going to be peace remember I said with the Palestinians it was a good thing to have done because we took it off the table because every time they were peace talks. They never got past Jerusalem becoming the capital. So I said, let's take it off the table. And you know what in the negotiation Israel will have to pay a higher price because they want a very big thing but I took it off the table

  -- US President Donald Trump, speaking at political rally in West Virginia

I have not yet seen any reactions among the Israeli leadership to this statement. I wonder what the PM and his people thought when Trump said that...

    In America, the Trump derangement syndrome people (who oppose anything Trump says or does, only because they hate Trump so much) are harping on it.

    Its a standard negotiating ploy.

    Note, Trump owes Bibi for releasing the Turkish Hamas money smuggler, for what in the end turned out to be nothing.

    Anyway, there's no one to negotiate with. So they're trying substitutes like Saudi fe facto ruler salman, who can't deliver either, and is happy with the status quo. Jordan's abdullah is afraid, and Egypt's Sisi doesn't want to get involved. Which leaves Iran whom Trump hates.

    Nobody to negotiate with.
