With respect to settlements, Mr. Neuer is factually correct.

The creation of a demilitarized Palestinian State is not a gift to the Palestinians. It is a life preserver for a Jewish democratic State of Israel that is secure.

I hope it is not dead but anybody with any sense about them understands the dire scenario that we are in.

Any reference by anyone in that regard would be terribly unfortunate.

No, they are refugees but it is true that only in the case of Palestinian refugees are second, third, and fourth generation members considered refugees.

The King of Jordan is a huge ally to us. Why make his life difficult in a way that doesn't achieve the type of result that ultimately we and Israel are looking for, which is a negotiated two-state outcome?

There is an opportunity for greater involvement by the Arab States in helping move the peace process forward.

Palestinians and their leadership have defrauded their own people for decades, for generations.

The deal is, of course, a two-state outcome, one Jewish, one Arab.

President Abbas deserves some credit... he said yes, but then he said, as a visitor.

We need to assist the Palestinians and the Arab world with respect to their stubborn view of the right of return to move to a more helpful position.

I think it is a close call. It is a justified American position in my humble opinion, a justified law but as it plays out, at times, it is a bit insane.

But the worst thing we could do is handcuff a new Secretary-General by threatening to reduce our funding.

The result wasn't that Hamas was curtailed in its activity. The result wasn't that the violent ones within the PA were somehow marginalized.

I would not agree that it was a complete condemnation of the UNESCO statement.

There has to be positive reinforcement as well. If you are going to do some good things, there has got to be some reward for it as well.

Don't expect to get money if you are going to deny the Jewish connection to Jerusalem because it doesn't serve your cause.

You can empower that man who seems instinctively and substantively to share most if not all of your concerns or you can take the knees out from underneath him.

I think it is incredibly important, it is worth repeating, what the new Secretary-General did this week, which is for the world to hear he said that the Jewish connection to the temple in Jerusalem is undeniable.

This world is huge. There are so many interests.

The Israeli Knesset is considering a legalization bill that will set in process a troubling trend of outlying settlements being legalized.

We should not impose solutions. That is not the role of the United States in terms of a friend and an ally.

The truth is the U.N. is just a venue.

If I were President Trump, I would speak with the new Secretary-General and basically tell him I am all with you, I am with you 110 percent.
