US President, Donald Trump on Wednesday vowed to work as a “mediator, an arbitrator or a facilitator” to help broker peace between the Israelis and Palestinians as he welcomed Palestinian Leader, President Mahmoud Abbas to the White House.
Mr Trump said Israelis and Palestinians must achieve peace through direct negotiations and called on Palestinian leaders to “speak in a unified voice against incitement to violence and hate.”
“There’s such hatred, but hopefully there wont be such hatred for very long,” Mr Trump said in a joint appearance with Abbas.
Mr Abbas expressed his support for a two-state solution and reiterated the Palestinian desire for a capital in East Jerusalem and said he believed Mr Trump could help broker the long-sought after peace.
