[quote=Anonymous]Pres Donald Trump says Netanyahu “never wanted peace with Palestinians”

https://www.axios.com/2021/12/13/trump-middle-east-peace-netanyahu

Trump said that at an early stage of his presidency, he realized that Netanyahu would be a bigger obstacle to peace than Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

“I thought he was terrific," Trump told me of Abbas, reflecting on their "great" first meeting. "He was almost like a father. Couldn't have been nicer. I thought he wanted to make a deal more than Netanyahu."
Abbas told Trump that he thought they could make a deal. Netanyahu urged Trump to wait.
“My whole life is deals. I'm like one big deal. That's all I do, so I understand it. And after meeting with Bibi for three minutes … I stopped Bibi in the middle of a sentence. I said, 'Bibi, you don't want to make a deal. Do you?' And he said, 'Well, uh, uh uh' — and the fact is, I don't think Bibi ever wanted to make a deal."

The reason, Trump thought, was domestic Israeli politics.

Say what you want about Trump but he was right on both counts here. Netanyahu didn’t want a deal and it is due to domestic politics. [/quote]
