Obama, Clinton and Trump dodge questions on Israel

By David Singer - posted Monday, 24 October 2016

Clinton needs to publicly commit to honouring this commitment to Israel if elected President

Trump has so far failed to say whether he will do likewise – although his rival Marco Rubio pledged at the Republican Jewish Coalition Presidential Forum:

I will revive the common-sense understandings reached in the 2004 Bush-Sharon letter and build on them to help ensure Israel has defensible borders

Trump should follow suit.

Third debate moderator – FOX's Chris Wallace – failed to ask them both this crucial question during the hour and a half debate watched by 71.5 million people.

Hopefully someone else in the media during the next 18 days might ask Obama, Clinton and Trump this question going to the very heart of America's trustworthiness.
