Could President Donald Trump officially recognize Palestine as an independent state on his trip to the Middle East? That’s what some analysts are predicting as a lively debate rages in the Arab media sphere over just how far the U.S. president will go while abroad.
There had already been some writing on the wall that Trump’s Middle East tour — which includes visits to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates — was not coming in the midst of a period of unalloyed harmony between the administration and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Hebrew-language Israeli media reported Thursday that “the U.S. president is disappointed with Prime Minister Netanyahu” after he pressured now-former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz to sign off on an all-out military action by Israel against Iran.
The Washington Post also reported that, prior to a White House meeting between Trump and Netanyahu in March, Waltz looked to be “engaged in intense coordination with Netanyahu about military options against Iran,” something Trump opposed

you won the thread
I hope this is BS.
This has been denied by the White House:
“White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt: President Trump’s relationship with Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu is very strong, contrary to the lies being spread - there will be no recognition of a Palestinian state at all.”
(From Amir Tsarfati’s Telegram channel)
Recognizing a Palestinian state would be a tremendous reward for perpetrating the October 7 massacre, along with all of the other terrorism that they have engaged in for decades. I don’t see Trump doing that, if he is a bit ticked off at Netanyahu right now.
Hebrew-language Israeli media reported “the US president is disappointed with PM Netanyahu” after learning he pressured then-Natl Security Advisor Mike Waltz to sign off on an all-out military action by Israel against Iran. The Washington Post also reported that, prior to a White House meeting between Trump and Netanyahu in March, Waltz looked to be “engaged in intense coordination with Netanyahu about military options against Iran,” something Trump opposed.
Netanyahu claimed in response thru The Washington Post that he spoke with Waltz “only once.” However, Trump was not assuaged. Netanyahu admitting to “only once” showed his dark side and earned him a swift rebuke from Trump.
According to the NY Times, for years, Israel’s military planners have acknowledged that wiping out Iran’s nuclear program would be difficult for them in large part because some of Iran’s key facilities—like the Fordow enrichment plant—are buried inside mountains.
Iran’s fortified sites are designed to withstand conventional airstrikes, meaning the second-class Israeli military.....for all its bold talk.....desperately needs the US’ specialized bunker-busting bombs to do the job.
Trump was not pleased when Netanyahu came to the WH -—hat in hand-—to hear that Israel wanted to inveigle him into the Iran situation, meaning the US would incur Iran’s wrath, and would get the blame for bombing Iran........thus endangering American families.
As long as it is not the two state solution and safeguards against Hamas/PLO taking over.
Vacate GAZA
Rebuild it with
PARADISE TRUMP ON THE MEDITERRANIAN
Once again, there is no such thing as a “Palestinian.” They are nothing more than Arabs, speaking the same language without their own culture. Israel gave the “Palestinians” their own state—Gaza. It only resulted in murder and mayhem. Trump would be a fool to give them their own “state.” Where would it be? Nonsense. Once again, the problem is the phony “religion” of Islam, nothing more than a death cult wandering around a black rock idol with hundreds of names on it.
Stop the madness....
If Trump recognizes a PA state anywhere but Israel, that’s great. But if he wants it placed where Gaza is now, then I will no longer support him or his presidency.
Press secretary already said this is horse crap and 2000 percent not true
Told people to not buy the nonsense even the Israeli media spews they are majority leftist
Called ‘nonsense’ by Amb. Huckabee, then denied by Karole Leavitt.
White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt:
“President Trump’s relationship with Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu is very strong, contrary to the lies being spread - there will be no recognition of a Palestinian state at all.”
Ok, but they are nothing more than Arabs living in what is called “Palestine,” the incorrect name for Israel. To maintain they are a separate cultural race or entity is not true.
It’s going to take the majority of the Arab world recognizing Israel before the Palestinians figure it out for themselves. It’s a big mess but I wouldn’t run to recognize a Palestinian state before they actually declared their own independence. Nobody should be more Palestinian than the Palestinians.
Run it up the flagpole to see who salutes. Face it Trump and the US can’t go around pissing everyone off all the time, at some point there has to be compromise and some of that compromise we may not like.
Or they have appropriated the character and role of the ancient Philistines by attacking Israel from Gaza. They can share the same fate as Goliath.
One wonders if it will be a seven-year treaty that will make all parties happy...for 3.5 years.
Has to be a Trumpism.
I can’t fathom him making the mistake of the century.
