"I have long believed a two state solution, one that provides for a secure Israel & a viable Palestinian state, is the only way forward for lasting peace in the Middle East. The Trump/Netanyahu plan ignores decades of bipartisan US policy in favor of short term political gains."
"I'm deeply concerned this plan will further legitimize Israeli settlements & be seen as green light from Trump Admin for Netanyahu to annex key parts of West Bank. It's near impossible to believe this approach will lead to dialogue & compromise needed for lasting peace agreement."
