On March 10, President Trump and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas spoke by phone to discuss ways to advance peace throughout the Middle
East region, including a comprehensive
agreement that would end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The President emphasized his personal belief that peace is possible and that the time has come to make a deal. The President noted that such a deal would not only give Israelis
and Palestinians the peace and security they deserve, but that it would
reverberate positively throughout the region and the world. He underscored that such a peace agreement must be negotiated
directly between the two parties, and that the United States will work
closely with Palestinian and Israeli leadership to make progress toward
that goal.The President noted that the United States cannot impose a
solution on the Israelis and Palestinians, nor can one side impose an
agreement on the other. The President invited President Abbas to a meeting at the White House in the near future.
