Ex-UN envoy Bolton to JPost: Trump has no chance at ultimate peace deal

Ex-UN envoy Bolton to JPost: Trump has no chance at ultimate peace deal, by Yonah Jeremy Bob.

There is no chance President Donald Trump will secure a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians, former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton told The Jerusalem Post on Monday. …

“It is not a question of personality or effort, it is just undoable. There has been a 70-plus year effort for the two-state solution,” which has failed, he said, adding, “You can’t put it back together again.”

Bolton said both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority were not viable interlocutors for peace and that any two-state solution would lead to “a terror state or an anarchic state.”

Instead, he proposed a threestate solution to include, “giving Gaza to Egypt, dividing up the West Bank – however it would be divided – with those not included in Israel becoming part of Jordan.”

From the man who was born to be the US Secretary of State. A shame it didn’t happen; hope is still there.
