For the record, Trump does want to negotiate a deal, and settlement construction will have to halt in order for there to be talks, at least temporarily. The difference is that I expect Trump will actually expect to see movement from both sides when negotiating, which will change the balance of these talks significantly.
and bill clinton and bush didn't want to see movement?
I remember when Clinton announced before the start of negotiations that he would hold the Israelis responsible if talks failed.
When only one side is willing to move, it's tempting to ask them to move twice as much.
Source? Because he ultimately blamed Arafat.
