President Donald Trump is personally committed to resolving the long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict and will never compromise on the safety and security of the Jewish State, US Vice President Mike Pence has said.
He said Trump’s “tireless leadership” has helped in making progress towards attaining the peace in the region.
“The President has personally committed to resolving the Israeli and Palestinian conflict. Even now, we’re making valuable progress toward the noble goal of peace,” Pence said at a White House event to mark the Israeli Independence Day.
“Thanks to the President’s tireless leadership, momentum is building and goodwill is growing. While there will undoubtedly have to be compromises, you can rest assured President Donald Trump will never compromise the safety and security of the Jewish State of Israel — not now, not ever,” he said on Tuesday.
Pence said Trump had made it clear that America stands alongside Israel as friends and as allies and together they will confront those who threaten their people.
“Since the moment of their nation’s birth, there’s hardly been a day when the people of Israel have not lived without war or the fear of war, or the grim reality of terror,” he said.
