Trump Questions Israeli Commitment to Peace Deal

AP Conversation: Trump on Mideast peace, 'If you can make that deal, you can make any deal' (U.S. News/AP)

Donald Trump says that if he's elected president, he'll know within six months whether he can achieve an elusive peace accord between Israelis and Palestinians, one of the world's most vexing challenges. But the Republican presidential candidate says he has doubts about each side's commitment to the peace process.

"I have a real question as to whether or not both sides want to make it," Trump said in an interview with The Associated Press.

The Republican presidential front-runner said his concerns are greater regarding "one side in particular." While Trump wouldn't say whether he was referring to the Israelis or the Palestinians, he said the chances for a lasting peace rest with Israel.
