Trump warns Israel: Stop announcing new settlements

Interesting, this is the W position.

I'm not anti-Israel and I'm vehemently pro-Israel but Trump has long said he wants peace in the Middle East and views himself as a deal broker. Combine this with the Bush GOP policy on Israel and it's pretty standard behavior for any Administration to start out from the premise of a two state solution.

I don't agree but it's not like Trump is surprising anyone. In fact, this is the most normal behavior he's demonstrated in foreign policy since becoming President.

FWIW, I believe in a Greater Israel, no Palestinian homeland, and I strongly think that it's bad US foreign policy to even recognize one. They're not our friends, and weakening Israel is a horrible mistake. The Embassy should be in Jerusalem, as a sign of our recognition of a united and independent Israel committed to Western and Judaic traditions.

But conventional foreign policy, etc etc.
