The right sees Trump’s ‘recognizing the obvious’ as no block to Mideast peace
As President Donald Trump moves to "recognize the obvious," will his administration's efforts toward peace in the Middle East be damaged? A roundup of editorials Wednesday takes a look at the issue.
Opinions from the right:
1. How Trump's move makes peace more likely
From The Federalist: Chances of peace between Israel and Palestine are slim, but speaking the truth won't hurt them.
