When asked about the possibility of Marwan Barghouti being a top candidate to lead a Palestinian state, Trump said that it is his “question of the day,” and that he’ll “be making a decision.”
Israel will lose all support from the United States if it decides to annex the West Bank, US President Donald Trump told Time Magazine in an interview published Thursday afternoon.
“Israel would lose all of its support from the United States if that happened,” he said. “It won’t happen because I gave my word to the Arab countries.”
Trump highlighted Arab support of the ceasefire deal, but explained that “if we didn’t take [Iran] out, number one, we wouldn’t have signed [the ceasefire deal], because there would have been many Arab countries that just could not have done that.”
