Flake: I Don’t Think Trump’s Comment Today on the Two State Solution Was a ‘Departure’

‘Obviously Israel is a valued ally, we need to work with them’

RUSH EXCERPT:
TAPPER: “There is a joint press conference obviously today with President Trump and Israeli prime minister Netanyahu. They had disagreement onset almighty expansion. One state solution, two state solutions, we’ll see what the parties agree to. What was your take on these areas where there did seem to be some disagreement?”
FLAKE: “Well, my take is with regard to the two or one-state solution, President Trump seemed to be simply saying that they will accept whatever the parties negotiate and those parties are Israel and Palestinians. That’s been the long-held position that the United States has had. So, I don’t think that that’s a break from the past. Obviously Israel is a valued ally. We need to work with them. We need to make sure that organizations like the U.N. Doesn’t gang up on them, and I think we can move forward.”
