I’m not entirely sure this is what you want to say if you are actually vested in trying to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, but acknowledging that Israel might not actually be interested in peace is kind of shocking (even if it’s true):

“Right now, I would say the Palestinians are not looking to make peace, they are not looking to make peace. And I am not necessarily sure that Israel is looking to make peace,” the President said. “So we are just going to have to see what happens.”

Obviously there are portions of both populations that aren’t interested in peace, or have a definition of peace that would not work. I wonder what the angle is here… is it just too hard for Trump and his minions? Do they not care because they don’t see either side as appropriately human (white nationalists are going to white national)? In an ordinary administration, saying something like this would be an attempt to bring Israel to the table. But with Trump, words are wind, as they say in Westeros.
