Only 37 percent of Palestinians and 39 percent of Israeli Jews supported a hypothetical peace deal.
The replacement of Tillerson with Mike Pompeo as secretary of state could harden America’s posture toward Iran, and improve bilateral diplomatic ties.
“Hamas praises the killers and PA laws will provide them financial rewards. Look no further to why there is no peace.”
Mideast negotiators Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt prepare a peace plan that moves goalposts sharply in Israel’s favor, unless Trump sabotages it.
