President Trump Decries ‘Evil Losers’ Who Carried Out Manchester Attack

But in his public remarks, Trump steered clear of any such language, and did not mention what has been the goal of U.S. diplomacy for two decades: a state of Israel and an independent Palestinian state co-existing side-by-side.

The 50th anniversary of Israel’s capture of territories that Palestinians seek for a state is next month. “I look forward to working with these leaders toward a lasting peace”. Paul Gosar of Prescott and Andy Biggs of Gilbert – believe such a move would be the right thing to do, others say it would set back the already hard peace process between the Israelis and Palestinians, both of whom lay claim to Jerusalem.

A US -born Israeli says he was both delighted and disappointed by President Donald Trump’s visit to Israel. “There’s a lot of love out there”.

Other parts of the speech included pledges to defend Israel against common enemies, including Iran.

The Temple Mount and the Western Wall “will forever remain under Israeli sovereignty”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an address to the Knesset session. I will call them, from now on, losers, because that’s what they are: “losers”.

Mr Trump said: “So many young, beautiful, innocent people, living and enjoying their lives, murdered by the evil losers in life”.

President Trump weighed in on the attack today.

During Trump’s press conference with Abbas in Bethlehem, the PA leader reiterated the long-held Palestinian position that peace with Israel is conditioned on the creation of a Palestinian state within the pre-1967 lines, with its capital in eastern Jerusalem.

“Israel has no reason to relinquish its control of the Palestinian territories”.

“President Trump is really, really serious and he thinks peace is possible”.

The US package reportedly includes the renewed sale of precision-guided munitions that had been blocked under president Barack Obama’s administration, for fear the Saudis would use them on civilian targets in Yemen, where Riyadh is fighting a war against Iranian-backed Huthi rebels.

Mr. Abbas reiterated to Mr. Trump “our commitment to cooperate with you in order to make peace and forge a historic peace deal” and to become partners with the US against terrorism. Overall, the focus of Trump’s trip to the Middle East seemed more about meeting anyone who does not like Iran and to criticise Iran, despite the re-election of moderate Rouhani once again.

During a meeting with President Reuven Rivlin of Israel, Mr Trump started to praise his new Secretary of State Rex Tillerson about the “incredible job” he has done.

While several small groups of Palestinians protests against the United States leaders visit demanding his intervention on the issue of hunger striking Palestinian prisoners, banners hailing the American President as “Man of Peace” were also seen around the city.
