Despite the solid backing the president expressed for Israel’s core positions across nearly all the issues raised at the press conference, it is impossible to ignore or gloss over several points of disagreement, even if he sought to downplay and minimize them. Trump is eager to move forward at maximum speed and reach the jewel in his crown.

The false propaganda claims that “Jesus was Palestinian” is gaining traction around the world. Jesus was a Jew who lived in Judea and the Land of Israel.
