His 'policy tweets' reflect the last conversation he had and flip-flop all over the place. He has surrounded himself with a bizarre mix of far right one-state Zionists who are determined to maintain an expansionist, settler, Jewish state protected by the USA (as opposed to a state where Jewish people can live in freedom and safety) and of far right anti semitic white supremacists.

In the meantime the best realistic compromise of a two-state solution that has emerged painfully over 20+ years through blood, sweat and tears, is about to be abandoned. Netanyahu has tried to kill it. Trump may well succeed.
Trump never said he doesn't support a 2-state solution. He said he will back whatever agreement Israel AND Palestine think is the best for them.
