WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, in a call with Jewish leaders and rabbis today ahead of the Jewish new year holiday, boasted about cutting off US aid to the Palestinians, pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal and taking the issue of Jerusalem off the table in Mideast peace talks, even as he and the White House fumed over two new devastating accounts of his presidency, largely sourced to his own current and former aides.
“I stopped massive amounts of money that we were paying to the Palestinians and the Palestinian leaders,” Trump said in the call, during which he was “interviewed” by lawyer Alan Dershowitz. “I'd say, you'll get money, but we're not paying you until we make a deal. If we don't make a deal, we're not paying. And that's going to have a little impact.”
