However, the construction magnate did express scepticism that any deal could be made and said that if he was able to make a deal, it would have to last to be seen as successful.
“A lot of people say an agreement can’t be made, which is okay. I mean, sometimes agreements can’t be made,” he said. “I was with a very prominent Israeli the other day. He says it’s impossible, because the other side has been trained from the time they’re children to hate Jewish people.”
Trump has spoken of his positive views towards the Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before. “I love Israel, and Israel is our real strong supporter. I’m going to Israel, and I’ll be meeting with Bibi Netanyahu, who’s a great guy,” Trump said in December 2015, calling himself “very, very pro-Israel.”
In 2013, at the Israeli leader’s request, Trump appeared in an election ad for Netanyahu. In the commercial, Trump said: “You truly have a great prime minister in Benjamin Netanyahu. There is nobody like him. He is a winner, he is highly respected. He is highly thought of by all. Vote for Benjamin, terrific guy, terrific leader.
