Labor leadership candidate says Trump visit ‘historic failure’

MK Erel Margalit, a candidate in the upcoming Labor leadership election, says that US President Donald Trump’s visit to Israel was a “historic failure.”

Despite Trump’s statements in support of restarting negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian, Margalit says that “the president has left us with plenty of nice photos but no diplomatic hope.”

According to Margalit, Netanyahu missed the opportunity to push for a region peace summit “presented by Trump’s visit to Saudia Arabia” before he came to Israel.
