posted on May 22, 2017Reuters’ Steve Holland and Jeff Mason report, “U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he had come to Israel from a weekend visit to Saudi Arabia with new reasons to hope that peace and stability could be achieved in the Middle East.” Trump met separately with leaders throughout the region, among them Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Holland and Mason write, “Trump will have visited significant centers of Islam, Judaism and Christianity by the end of his trip, a point that his aides say bolsters his argument that the fight against Islamist militancy is a battle between ‘good and evil.”’
