President Trump plan calls for Palestinian state, settlement freeze
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump unveiled his long-awaited Middle East peace plan Tuesday, calling for the creation of a State of Palestine with its capital in portions of east Jerusalem, saying it is a “win-win” opportunity for both Israel and the Palestinians.The plan calls for the creation of a State of Palestine with its capital in portions of east Jerusalem, ending speculation as to whether his administration, in preparing a proposal without input from Palestinian leaders, would abandon a "two-state resolution" to the conflict.President Trump, releasing the plan before a pro-Israel audience at the White House with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by his side, acknowledged that he has done a lot for Israel, but he said he wanted the deal to be a “great deal for the Palestinians.” President Trump said the deal is a "historic opportunity" for Palestinians to achieve an independent state of their own.The plan more than doubles the territory currently under Palestinian control, although it also recognizes Israeli sovereignty over major settlement blocs in the West Bank, something to which the Palestinians will almost certainly object.

President Trump, a late convert to cause, attends anti-abortion rally
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump vowed to stand with anti-abortion activists Friday as he became the first sitting president to speak at the March for Life, an annual gathering that is one of the movement's highest-profile and most symbolic events.“Today as President of the United States, I am truly proud to stand with you," he told a crowd of thousands braving the cold on the National Mall. “Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House.”It was just four years ago when a political committee supporting one of President Trump's Republican rivals unveiled an ad slamming his views on abortion, complete with footage from a 1999 interview in which he declared, “I am pro-choice in every respect."But on Friday, President Trump was hailed in speeches and on signs as “the most pro-life" American president ever.The reception was yet another sign of his remarkable political transformation and the fact that white evangelicals and conservative Christians remain among President Trump's most loyal backers.
