Trump Adviser: "West Bank Settlements Are Not an Obstacle to Peace"
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - Trump adviser Jason Greenblatt told Israel Army Radio on Thursday, "It's certainly not Mr. Trump's view that settlement activity should be condemned and that it's an obstacle for peace - because it is not the obstacle for peace." Trump's views, he said, come from the past example of the 2005 Israeli demolition of 21 settlements in Gaza and four in the northern West Bank. That withdrawal did not bring peace but rather was a precursor to a Hamas takeover of Gaza and three wars with Israel.
