At Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declined to directly address whether President Donald Trump continues to support a two-state solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

When questioned about remarks made by U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee—who indicated in a Bloomberg interview that the administration may no longer be committed to the idea of a Palestinian Arab state within Israel’s historical borders and that such a state could potentially be established elsewhere—Leavitt chose not to confirm or deny any change in policy.

Instead, Leavitt directed her comments toward the ongoing war in Gaza. “Right now, the President views the situation in Israel and Gaza as deeply unfortunate and needing to end. And the President is realistic about the current state of affairs in this region of the world.”

She emphasized the administration’s immediate goal: “And that’s why the President has said the number one focus and priority of the administration is to release all of the hostages from Gaza and to end this conflict as soon as possible. The administration is still pushing very hard for the release of all the hostages.”

Leavitt also commented on Gaza’s future, saying, “And as for what happens next, clearly, Gaza is an uninhabitable place. It needs to be rebuilt with the help of our Arab partners, and the President wants to see that happen as well.”

  1. There are no candidates that could run a government in a Palestinian state. They are beholden to hate and terror. Bloodthirsty, subhuman savages can never be trusted to be in charge of anything. There cannot be a state run by Palis. Done. Not Hamas, not PA, none of the other options. They are not civilized humans.
