Jan 28, 2020: Donald Trump Middle East Peace Speech Transcript with Israel PM NetanyahuRead the whole speech at the link below.
Donald Trump: (02:47): On my first trip overseas as president, I visited the Holy Land of Israel. I was deeply moved an amazed by what this small country had achieved in the face of overwhelming odds and never-ending threats. The land of Israel is an ancient home, a sacred place of worship, and a solemn promise to the Jewish people that we will never again repeat history’s darkest hour.
During my trip to Israel, I also met with Palestinian President Abbas in Bethlehem. I was saddened by the fate of the Palestinian people. They deserve a far better life, they deserve the chance to achieve their extraordinary potential. Palestinians have been trapped in a cycle of terrorism, poverty, and violence exploited by those seeking to use them as pawns to advance terrorism and extremism.
I returned from my visit determined to find a constructive path and it’s got to be a very powerful path forward in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. To further this effort, I also met with President Abbas at the White House. Forging peace between Israelis and Palestinians may be the most difficult challenge of all. All prior administrations from have tried and bitterly failed,but I was not elected to do small things or shy away from big problems.
It’s been a long and very arduous process to arrive at this moment. On Sunday I delivered to Prime Minister Netanyahu my vision for peace, prosperity, and a brighter future for Israelis and Palestinians. This vision for peace is fundamentally different from past proposals. Our plan is 80 pages and is the most detailed proposal ever put forward by far. My vision presents a win-win opportunity for both sides, a realistic two-state solution that resolves the risk of Palestinian statehood to Israel’s security.
Today Israel has taken a giant step toward peace.Yesterday Prime Minister Netanyahu informed me that he is willing to endorse the vision as the basis for direct negotiations, and I will say,the general also endorsed, and very strongly, with the Palestinians a historic breakthrough. It will end and we have the support, and it’s very important to say this, of both parties and almost all people in Israel. They want peace and they want peace badly.
This is the first time Israel has authorized the release of a conceptual map illustrating the territorial compromises it’s willing to make for the cause of peace and they’ve gone a long way. This is an unprecedented and highly significant development. Mr. Prime Minister, thank you for having the courage to take this bold step forward. Thank you very much…..
Benjamin N.: (37:20)
-
First, it addresses the root cause of the conflict, by insisting that the Palestinians will finally have to recognize Israel as the Jewish State.
-
Second, it stipulates that Israel will retain security control in the entire area west of the Jordan River, thereby giving Israel a permanent eastern border, a permanent eastern border to defend ourselves across our longest border. We now have such a recognized boundaries.
-
Third, your plan calls for Hamas to be disarmed and for Gaza to be demilitarized.
-
Fourth, it makes clear that the Palestinian refugee problem must be solved outside the state of Israel.
-
Fifth, it calls for our ancient capital Jerusalem to remain united under Israel’s sovereignty and of course ensures that religious sites remain accessible to all faiths and it maintains the status quo on the temple Mount.
-
Six, your plan does not uproot anyone from their homes, Israelis and Palestinians alike. Instead, it proposes innovative solutions, whereby Israeli’s will be connected to Israel and whereby Palestinians will also be connected to one another. .
Mr. President, Israel wants the Palestinians to have a better life. We want them to have a future of national dignity, prosperity, and hope. Your Peace Plan offers the Palestinian’s such a future. Your Peace Plan offers the Palestinians a pathway to a future state.

“Anon’s comments”: Bibi congratulating Bidan first and telling the world that Bidan did more for Israel than any President, was an obvious slight (and probably collusion). But since Mossad and every IC agency WW were aware of the terrorist attacks coming on October 7, 2023, it makes sense he had no intention of making Peace; and used that to do drastic things.
