Netanyahu win gives US peace plan 'better chance ' Trump

     Washington, Apr 10 (AFP) President Donald Trump said Wednesday that election results handing a narrow victory to right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu give a "better chance" to a yet to be unveiled US peace plan.
     "I'd like to congratulate" Netanyahu, said Trump after nearly complete results put the incumbent premier in position to form a coalition and extend his long tenure.
     Trump predicted a boost to his administration's promised plan for a settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
     "The fact that Bibi won I think we'll see some pretty good action in terms of peace," Trump said.
     "Everybody said you can't have peace in the Middle East with Israel and Palestinians. I think we have a chance and I think we now have a better chance," he said. (AFP) SMJ
