“Bibi never wanted a deal.”
That’s quite clear.

[mbd]

Trump was negotiating with him, right in front of everyone.

[jchan]

Wow even Trump recognised the inhumanity of the settlements.

[zubiarfan]

„Could you hold back a little bit?“

Really shows who is in charge here

[AliAlo-pcud]

I like how they’re discussing the livelihoods of a people like it’s a friendly game of checkers.

[Matt_Comeau]

Like Trump or not, the fact that he told the Israel’s prime minister to leave the West Bank alone and make a deal is one of his best moments as president.

[jeanneparadise]

Netanyahu is showing his cold hearted and intolerant side. Innocent citizens of Palestine are dying but he doesn't care.

[Jake-jrzh]

He made a deal alright . Netanyahu wanted the American Embassy moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and Trump obliged, against the wishes of the Palestinians.

[aujax]

theyre not “settlements”. theyre land seizures. lets be honest

[Rayrockny]

Wow he shut that arrogant sob down like he was a troubled step child. Trump may actually get my vote, just need him to say the magic sentence "no more money for Israel".

[HoRiz]

Netenyahu got that "I got epstein tapes of you" confidence smirk.

[ikbenvoetbal]

This war was never about hamas. You can see his animosity towards all palestineans from this video

[odacizdnak]

This shit makes me sick to my stomach two foreigners making a deal about destiny of one group of people who lived there for thousands of years just cuz one has money and they want that land and other have military power to back them up to take that lane

[wheres_bears]

First time I saw trump cower and turn a statement into a question 😂

[ryanfinn]

Wow actually didn't expect that, good for him

[abdullatifeldanab]

I love how they speak with such a manner as if they and their goverments are the good guys!

[Harris]

Settlements?? It’s called breaking and entering

[mhersidude]

7 years later and you could still see he doesn’t care about anyone else’s interests but the fellow occupiers

[mohammedfaizan]

Politicians are the best actors in the world.

[abcjuniormilton]

Then Kushner and Adelson stepped in and reminded Trump who his donors are, and that's when Trump started doing everything for Israel.
