“Israel has been trying to sit down at the negotiating table for years,” he affirms. “In 2000, Prime Minister Barak made an offer and Arafat rejected it. In 2008, Prime Minister Olmert made an offer and it was rejected.”
In 2014, when the US sought to advance its own framework for peace talks, “the Palestinians never even responded.
“When I become president,” he vows, “the days of treating Israel like a second-class citizen will end on day one.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
