US President Donald Trump on Monday refrained from taking a position on whether he supports the recognition of a Palestinian state, hours after signing the Gaza ceasefire agreement alongside several world leaders at a peace summit in Egypt. “I’m not talking about single state or double state or two state, we’re talking about the rebuilding of Gaza,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One during his flight back from the Middle East.
The President said that discussions around the political structure of a future Palestinian state would take time, noting, “A lot of people like the one-state solution. Some people like the two-state solutions. We’ll have to see,” before adding, “I haven’t commented on that.”
