US, Israel officials downplay Trump’s warning of ‘price’ over Jerusalem moves


(Worthy News) – US and Israeli officials on Wednesday downplayed a remark made by US President Donald Trump a day earlier in which the American leader said Israel would pay “a higher price” in peace talks with the Palestinians to compensate for Washington’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and relocate its embassy to the city.

Seeking to calm Israeli concerns, senior US officials told Channel 10 that “the US will not impose unacceptable conditions on Israel in its peace plan.”

At the same time, an Israeli official said US National Security Adviser John Bolton had clarified the American president’s comments. Bolton, who was on a visit to Jerusalem, had said earlier on Wednesday the president’s speech did not represent a change in the US administration’s policy on peace negotiations.
