Vermont Sen. Peter Welch on "The Takeout"

Published | Video Starts at 24:57

What's happening in Israel is, and we've always supported, we the country Republican and Democratic administrations have supported a two state solution, independent, Jewish secure state of Israel, an independent, peaceful, really disarmed Palestinian state. Trump is going to challenge that. There are very strong forces in internal Israeli politics, including Netanyahu, that wants a one state. They want to annex the west bank and they want to take over Gaza. I oppose that. I don't think that's a prescription for the long term stability and strength of Israel or obviously the West Bank. (24:57–25:04)

CLAIM
