The officials didn’t expand on the specific steps the administration would currently be taking if there was a government in Israel, but the statements were made in the context of the Middle East peace deal the White House has formulated.
“Israel could have been in a better situation. We could have done much more,” said one of the officials.
The officials emphasized that U.S. President Donald Trump, U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and outgoing special U.S. Mideast envoy Jason Greenblatt care about Israel, have already done a great deal for the Jewish state since Trump took office and would like to continue doing so.
