President Trump’s nominee for ambassador to Israel said Thursday he would be “delighted” if a two-state solution could be reached for Middle East peace but remains skeptical.

David Friedman, a staunch Israel ally and critic of liberal Jews, said during his Senate confirmation hearing he has concerns about Palestinians’ “unwillingness” to renounce terror and recognize a Jewish state.

“The two-state solution began to take form in 1993 with the Oslo Accords,” Friedman said.

“We haven’t made progress since then. And in the aftermath of Oslo, terrorism has increased fourfold since before Oslo.”

Meanwhile, at the UN, Ambassador Nikki Haley said the US “absolutely” supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and anyone who thinks it doesn’t is in “error.”
