Trump: If Palestinians don’t want peace, U.S. has nothing to do with them
Unless the Palestinian Authority shows that it wants to make peace, the US will “not have anything to do with them any longer,” President Donald Trump said in Davos on Thursday. “I can tell you, Israel does want to make peace, and they [the Palestinians] are going to have to want to make peace, too, or we aren’t going to have anything to do with them any longer,” Trump said, sitting next to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the World Economic Forum. “This was not brought up by other negotiators, but it is brought up by me,” the American leader said.Trump did not hide his anger toward the Palestinians for snubbing Vice President Mike Pence during his visit here this week, saying the US will withhold aid funds to them until they return to negotiations.The Palestinians, he said, “disrespected us” by not “allowing our great vice president to see them, and we give them hundreds of millions of dollars in aid support.”
