Palentinian Peace Not On Tump Agenda


US President Donald Trump has arrived in Israel as part of his first foreign trip since taking office in January, but critics have already dismissed as lip service his vows to broker an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.
The trip will include bilateral meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuand Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas, who was in Washington earlier this month to pledge his support to a renewed peace process.
But experts note that the Trump administration's "unwavering support" for the state of Israel will render any potential negotiations futile.
"They [US administration] will fall over themselves loving Israel to get elected, come to their senses a bit when in office, then pay lip service to peace while serving the strategic alliance between the US and Israel by blindly supporting Israel," Sam Bahour, a Palestinian-American political commentator based in Ramallah, told Al Jazeera.
