According to CNN , Leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas has said that US President Donald Trump has an “historic opportunity” to find an “equitable solution” for the Palestinian people.
In an interview with CNN in Doha, Khaled Meshal told the Trump administration has a “greater threshold for boldness” than its predecessors. “This is a historic opportunity to pressure Israel.. to find an equitable solution for the Palestinian people,” he said. “And it will be to the credit of the civilized world and the American administration to stop the darkness that we have been suffering from for many years.”
These comments come as Trump meets Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas at the White House, as President Trump works toward what he’s called the “ultimate deal” between Israel and the Palestinians. Trump told reporters, “I’m looking at two-state and one-state, and I like the one that both parties like … I can live with either one.”
“This is a plea from me to the Trump administration, the new American administration – break out from the wrong approaches of the past and which did not arrive at a result. And perhaps to grab the opportunity presented by Hamas’ document,” Meshaal said.
