1 \ In a briefing to Israeli reporters after the meeting with Trump, Netanyahu said he was not caught by surprise by Trump's statement supporting the two state solution
2 \ Netanyahu said he told Trump that what matters is substance not labels: "I told the president any Palestinian state mustn't have ability to threaten Israel & overriding security responsibility must stay in Israeli hands. I am sure that every U.S. peace plan will reflect that"
3 \ According to Netanyahu Jared Kushner told Trump that different players have different interpretations to the term "Palestinian state". Netanyahu said he doubled down & told Trump the question is whether Palestine will be "more like Costa Rica or more like Iran"
4 \ Netanyahu said he didn't know when Trump is going to launch his peace plan: "I don't control the U.S. schedule. They will release the plan when they decide to do it. I guess they are talking to the Arab states about it"
5 \ Palestinian President Abbas's spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh commented on Trumps remarks and said: "The road to peace goes through a 2 state solution with the state of Palestine on the borders of 1967 & East Jerusalem as its capital. This is an Arab & an international position
6 \ Tomorrow Abbas will give a speech at the UN general assembly. Abbas arrived in New York with the goal of rallying the international community against Trump's peace plan. It will be interesting to see if Trump's overture will be reflected in the Palestinian president's speech
