Trumps Tells Netanyahu To "Hold Off" On Settlements

What to make of President Trump's public admonition to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "hold off on settlements a little bit" during their White House press conference?

One could argue that Trump is being considerably milder than his predecessor in his tone. Nevertheless, Obama also implored Netanyahu to freeze settlements in the early months of his presidency and things went downhill from there.

Will things do the same for Netanyahu and Trump?

If it does then one must ask when American Presidents will learn this has nothing to do with the settlements?

Did dismantling settlements in Gaza bring about peace? So why would it be any different in the West Bank or Jerusalem?

Plus ca change.
