Trump Raged at Abbas in Meeting: 'You Lied To Me'

45. So if trump, a known liar, allegedly called one of the parties in this discussion a liar, then

"Trump was correct". That is not how you deal with negotiations, or trying to work out an agreement, if that was what was being done. Your circular argument regarding the settlements that Netanyahu was ambiguous is bull. People who are ambiguous are not being honest.

When Netanyahu campaigns on no two state solution before the election, and then after the election, modifies that statement, that is not honest. Is he lying, or is he just being ambiguous?

The point I'm making was if you are an arbitrator with two conflicting parties, you dod NOT resort to name calling as an arbitrator. The moment that happens, you have invalidated yourself as an honest broker.

Nothing happens in a vacuum in that conflict, and I seriously doubt that trump understands the complexity of the situation.

Fatah and Hamas were never on the best of terms, and I would argue that it was the policies of the Netanyahu government that motivated Fatah and Hamas to seek a unity government, and put Fatah between a rock and a hard place. A perfect example is George W. Bush not continuing to be engaged in the process between Israel and the Palestinians, continuing where Bill Clinton left off was a tragic mistake. It emboldened Netanyahu to treat President Obama's efforts to re-engage with the upmost disrespect, and sets the prospects for even a useful dialog under trump, as very bleak
