Palestinians are skeptical about US President Donald Trump’s support for a two-state solution and insist on continuing to boycott the United States and finding an alternative mechanism to revive the political process. Commenting on recent remarks by Trump, who said that he liked the two-state solution, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki said: “We heard the same statement from him when he met with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu at the White House in February 2017. He repeats this statement every time he meets with Netanyahu. There is nothing new about it.” Trump made his remarks during a meeting with Netanyahu on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. “I like a two-state solution. That’s what I think works best… That’s my feeling,” Trump stated. However, hours later, Trump noted he might also support a one-state solution. During a press conference on the sidelines of the UNGA, he said: “If the Israelis and the Palestinians want one state, that’s OK with me. If they want two states, that’s OK with me.” He added that he wanted to be able to make a deal so that people would not be killed. In response, the Palestinian foreign minister stressed that the US president should declare his support to the two-state solution based on the 1967 borders, and should acknowledge that the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem were occupied territories. He also accused the Trump administration of launching a comprehensive war against the Palestinians, “even though they [the Palestinians] are not looking for a confrontation with the Americans.” Maliki emphasized that the current US administration was biased in favor of Israel, stressing that the Palestinians were urging the international community to assume a more active role in the peace process. This issue was in fact discussed on Thursday during a consultative meeting held by the Palestinian presidency with European countries on the sidelines of UNGA. More than 40 countries attended the meeting, including members of the Security Council, members of regional and international organizations, and special envoys for the peace process. “One of the main objectives of this meeting is to support this collective process,” said Palestinian Ambassador to the UN Riyad Al-Mansour. According to Mansour, all participants have expressed their commitment to the two-state solution and to the agreed bases of the peace process, and emphasized their readiness to enable this collective process.
