Donald Trump On Ties with Israel

"With this visit, the United States again reaffirms our unbreakable bond with our cherished ally Israel. …The state of Israel is a symbol to the world of resilience in the face of oppression."

Two states... or one?

"So I'm looking at two-state and one-state, and I like the one that both parties like. I'm very happy with the one that both parties like. I can live with either one. … I thought for a while the two-state looked like it may be the easier of the two, but honestly, if Bibi and if the Palestinians -- if Israel and the Palestinians are happy, I'm happy with the one they like the best."

Israeli compromises

"As with any successful negotiation, both sides will have to make compromises. … As far as settlements, I would like to see you hold back on settlements for a little bit."

Palestinian 'hate'

"I think the Palestinians have to get rid of some of that hate that they're taught from a very young age. They're taught tremendous hate. I have seen what they're taught... it starts in the school room, and they have to acknowledge Israel."

Iranian 'threat'

"The security challenges faced by Israel are enormous, including the threat of Iran's nuclear ambitions, which I've talked a lot about. One of the worst deals I've ever seen is the Iran deal. My administration has already imposed new sanctions on Iran, and I will do more to prevent Iran from ever developing -- I mean ever -- a nuclear weapon."

'Unfair' UN

"We reject unfair and one-sided actions against Israel at the United Nations, which has treated Israel, in my opinion, very, very unfairly."

Embassy to Jerusalem?

"As far as the embassy moving to Jerusalem, I would love to see that happen. We're looking at it very, very strongly. We're looking at it with great care. Believe me. We'll see what happens. Okay?"

Benjamin Netanyahu Israeli demands

"First, the Palestinians must recognize the Jewish state. They have to stop calling for Israel's destruction."

"Second, in any peace agreement, Israel must retain the overriding security control over the entire area west of the Jordan River."
