As some right-wing lawmakers ring the death knell for the two-state solution as Trump heads to the White House, not all MKs, on both sides of the aisle, are convinced.

Likud MK Anat Berko, a member of the powerful Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, says “I don’t think” Trump’s presidency ends the two-state peace framework.

“I think the solution will be led by our prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and we will do it based on the Israeli interest for security. The security needs will determine the solution,” she says. “There will be a solution in the end, and the prime minister is committed to it.”

She says she had no personal preference for president, and praises both candidates as being pro-Israel.
