In 2024 Trump, reportedly, pulled support for a two-State solution by saying: "There was a time when I thought two states could work. Now I think two states is going to be very, very tough. I think it’s going to be much tougher to get. I also think you have fewer people that liked the idea. You had a lot of people that liked the idea four years ago. Today, you have far fewer people that like that idea".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cmsedit.cbn.com/cbnnews/israel/2024/may/trump-pulls-support-for-palestinian-state-rabbi-applauds-decision-urges-christians-to-help-israel-keep-gods-land|title=Trump Pulls Support for Palestinian State; Rabbi Applauds Decision, Urges Christians to help Israel 'Keep God's Land'|publisher=CBN News|date=May 13, 2024}}</ref>

Plus: 'Anyone with a basic understanding of geopolitics can see that May/2024 stunt by the leaders of Spain, Ireland, and Norway is anything but a genuine effort toward peace.
First, it’s important to note that these countries haven’t so much as recognized a Palestinian state as they have conjured one.
Little thought has been given to the geographical boundaries of this new state, which, given the territorial disputes with Israel, is a rather critical point to have agreed upon.
And what about this new state’s governance? Will Hamas or the Palestinian Authority be in charge? Will there even be elections?
Second, was this a stand for Palestinians or for Hamas? It’s curious that Spain, Norway, and Ireland decided to recognize Palestinian statehood after the October 7 Hamas attacks, not before. If it looks like a reward for the October 7 massacre, it’s because it is.'<ref>Rachel O'Donoghue, [https://honestreporting.com/npr-bends-over-backwards-to-conceal-the-real-reason-there-isnt-a-palestinian-state/ NPR bends over backwards to conceal the real reason there isn’t a Palestinian State], ''Honest Reporting'', June 16, 2024</ref>

On behalf of many Christians in Ireland who support Israel, and as part of my role as director of the branch of the International Christian Embassy in Ireland, we feel deeply ashamed of the actions of our government, which decided to recognize a Palestinian state under the current circumstances.
In our opinion, this move achieved nothing other than awarding the terrorism and barbarism of Hamas on 7.10, and it encourages future acts of terrorism against Israel and an unwillingness to compromise on the part of Palestinian leaders.
