WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 -- U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday revealed the long-awaited political aspect of his controversial Middle East peace plan, calling for a two-state solution while recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's "undivided capital."
Trump outlined the 80-page plan at the White House along with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that it proposes a "realistic" two-state solution.
Calling it a "win-win opportunity" for both sides, Trump said the new plan recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's "undivided capital," while claiming that the Palestinians' capital will include areas of East Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, Trump cautioned that "the conditions for statehood" should be met before the creation of "a contiguous territory within the future Palestinian State," which included stopping "the malign activities of Hamas," ending the incitement of hatred against Israel, among others.
"We will never ask Israel to compromise its security," Trump said.
Speaking at the White House, Netanyahu thanked Trump for recognizing Israel's sovereignty over areas in Judea and Samaria, which is the Israeli term for the West Bank, in the plan, describing Tuesday as "a historic day" and praising Trump as "the greatest friend that Israel has ever had in the White House."
The plan stipulates that "Israel will retain security control in the entire area west of the Jordan River ... giving Israel a permanent eastern border to defend ourselves," Netanyahu said.
