Trumps team is reportedly in contact with the Palestinians but has set a new tone regarding negotiations with Israel.
President-elect Donald Trumps transitional team has recently been in contact with the Palestinians on how to proceed with diplomatic negotiations.
Israel Radio, in a report on Tuesday, quoted sources within Trumps team and among Palestinian Authority officials who affirmed that the contacts were taking place.
In the report, an unnamed senior official working for Trump is said to have asked a senior Palestinian official why they would object to moving the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to western Jerusalem.
The official replied that there should be a parallel move, that Washington should establish a US embassy for Palestine in eastern Jerusalem and one for Israel in the west side of the city.
The Palestinians envision the eastern side of Israels capital as its own. Moving the embassy to Jerusalem would be the final death blow to the failed peace negotiations, the Palestinians have threatened.
The Trump official reported replied that there is no Palestine, and Jerusalem is not your capital. If you stop the incitement to terror, put in place full economic transparency, stop acting unilaterally at UN bodies and accept a US embassy in west Jerusalem, we (the US) would consider a US diplomatic mission in Ramallah and call upon the Israelis to enter into serious negotiations with you on a long-term relationship.

BOOM!!
Mic drop.
L
trump wins again
The “Palestinian” (correction, Philistinian) capital is Jericho.
Trump should tell them: Build that wall!
But what about the two state solution? /s/
Ping
Palestinians are an invention of a criminal mind.
Someone’s face just got hit with somebody’s big d*ck.
Finally some sanity, if true.
Allahwahoo Trumpbar!
No one speaks for Trump very long.
I think Ramallah is in Judea, but it could be Samaria.
Winning!
So much truth in so little time.
Two states?
Solid, liquid, gas?

Imagine the grief the world would have been spared had this been the consistent US position starting 5 decades ago.
Amen
say it again and again.
Damn! About time a US President said it!
Gas, obviously.
If this is true, and the Trump administration makes good on its actions, perhaps God will bless our nation once again.
