CANDIDATES USE NETANYAHU MEETINGS TO WOO VOTERS

-

Donald Trump used a meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday to appeal to conservati­ve Christian voters.

Trump’s campaign released a statement after the Trump Tower gathering, saying the two men spoke for an hour about terrorism, Iran, ISIL and cybersecur­ity. There was no mention of the two-state solution.

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was also to meet Sunday with Netanyahu. Unlike Trump, she pledges to continue President Barack Obama’s policy of supporting a two-state solution.

Yet she has assiduousl­y courted Jewish voters, with her campaign website making much of her three-decade public commitment to Israel.
