US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he “will decide what I think is right” on a long-term solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Trump made a brief visit to the Middle East to join regional leaders Monday in signing a declaration meant to cement a ceasefire in Gaza after two years of war.

Addressing the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Trump noted “a lot of people like the one state solution, some people like the two state solutions. We’ll have to see.”

“I will decide what I think is right, but I’d be in coordination with other states and other countries,” he told journalists aboard Air Force One.

Around 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 as a state.
