Richard Haass: Trump’s ‘Starting off Well’ with Israel

‘The question is whether you can essentially follow it through and add real substance to the happy talk’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HAASS: "Absolutely. It's interesting because Barack Obama essentially started the opposite way. There was a new sheriff in town, he was much tougher on settlements and things never recovered from that point. This is starting off well. The question is whether you can essentially follow it through and add real substance to the happy talk. And, you know, I certainly hope so because again, Israel and the United States could be confronted. And likely will at some point with some terrible crisis, either in Jerusalem or Jordan or somewhere else in what is the single most turbulent part of the world."
