Someone - or ongoing history - will explain to Trump that not every problem has a negotiable solution. There are times and situations where compromise is not attainable.
In the article at this link:

a lengthy report analyzes multiple polls and surveys of “Palestinians” over many years. It shows there is very little chance that any majority of “Palestinians” either want an actual “two-state” solution or would accept the terms of any reasonably possible two-state solution.
Here just three of the items reported:
In a 2014 survey of Palestinians, the runaway first choice, selected by 60 percent of respondents, was “to work toward reclaiming all of historic Palestine from the river to the sea.”
In a June 2015 poll, with Palestinians asked about a Palestinian goal for the next five years, the option of “reclaiming all of historic Palestine from the river to the sea” was the most popular choice.
Another poll in 2015 with Palestinians asked “There are also different views about who has any rights to be in historic Palestine. Do you think that Jews have some rights to the land along with the Palestinians, or that this is all Palestinian land and the Jews have no rights to it?” An overwhelming majority, including 81 percent of West Bankers and 88 percent of Gazans, answered unequivocally that “This is all Palestinian land and Jews have no rights to it.”
I am afraid that either Trump knows not what he is actually up against, or, like other presidents before, will try to put his own legacy above all else, and in the subject at hand that would wind up trying to be worse toward Israel than was Obama.
Note to Mr Trump: Someday a majority of Palestinians may decide they want peace more than anything else, and more than destroying Israel. That day is not here and will not be here while you are president, even be that 8 years time.
A shame Wuli isn't a Presidential advisor. Any President back to Bush I. He could make a start. Apply pressure to stop incitement, hope for the next generation. Spend US dollars on economic development not terrorists salaries. Hard to find investors, yes, but I bet Israeli companies will be willing to invest. Aid in the establishment of an elected government Recognize it will take years for a transfer of power or two. Avoid Bush mistakes. Bush I made the fatal error of bypassing the bedlam of local leadership in the Madrid/Oslo process and opted for the fast track, well known leader. Yasser Arafat. Brought his number two man along, today's President for life Abbas. A doomed process from that decision forward. Terrorists don't reform. Bush II, pressuring Israel and the PA to allow an armed terrorist group, Hamas, to participate in elections. Egypt rejected his insistence to allow the Muslim Brotherhood in elections, Israel/PA should have done the same. What to do with Gaza, who knows.
