Trump: Israeli settlements aren’t helping the peace process

Published February 10, 2017 2:42pm ET



President Trump told an Israeli newspaper Thursday that settlements in occupied Palestinian territory “don’t help” the peace process.

“They [settlements] don’t help the process. I can say that,” Trump told Israel Hayom. “There is so much land left. And every time you take land for settlements, there is less land left. But we are looking at that, and we are looking at some other options we’ll see. But no, I am not somebody that believes that going forward with these settlements is a good thing for peace.”
