US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he "will decide what I think is right" on a long-term solution for Palestine and ‘Israel.’

Almost three-quarters of the 193 UN member states recognize the Palestinian state proclaimed in 1988 by the exiled Palestinian leadership.
The United States, ‘Israel's’ closest ally, criticized the decision last month by allies including Britain and Canada to recognize Palestine statehood.
"I will decide what I think is right, but I'd be in coordination with other states and other countries," Trump told journalists aboard Air Force One.
