The chairman of the House’s Middle East panel questioned the Donald Trump administration’s stated commitment to a two-state solution during a Zoom interview with the Israel Policy Forum today.

Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., said that he “didn’t reject” Trump’s peace Israeli-Palestinian peace proposal “out of hand” and that he was initially “hopeful” that the president had started referring to it as a “two-state solution.” However, Deutch went on to add that the plan raised “lots of questions about the viability of a Palestinian state.”
