Quote of the Day:
"I have met with Trump envoys about 20 times since the beginning of his term as president of the United
States. Every time they repeatedly stressed to me how much they believe and are committed to a
two-state solution and a halt to construction in the settlements. I have pleaded with them to say the
same thing to Netanyahu, but they refrained. They said they would consider it but then they didn't get
back to me."
