1. Reporter asks question UPSOUND (English):
(Reporter asks: "Following this engagement with North Korea. You're trying to bring peace to the Middle East. The peace plan is about to be introduced in the near future. And as you have mentioned before.")
Trump: "No we hope, we hope.We're working hard on the peace plan and we hope."
(Reporter asks: And I believe you do.But as you mentioned before it will require Israel to make compromises to the Palestinians as far as you know is Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu now willing to make these compromises which are very much needed. And a second question, Mr. Netanyahu is about to be indicted today with corruption allegations. Do you wish to tell him something on this occasion.")
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US President:
"Well I just think he's been a great prime minister and I don't know about his difficulty. But you tell me something that you know people have been hearing about, but I don't know about that. I can say this, that he's done a great job as prime minister. He's tough, he's smart, he's strong. He is very defensive - his military has been built up a lot. They buy a lot of equipment from the United States and they pay for it of course, we give them tremendous as you know subsidy also. Four billion dollars is a lot each year. But they've been very very good. They've been incredible actually in many ways. But there is a chance for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. And you know it's interesting, all my life, I've heard that the toughest of deals, we all like deals, but the toughest of all deals would be peace between Israel and the Palestinians. They say it's like the impossible deal. I'd love to be able to produce it. We'll see what happens. You know we were paying the Palestinians a lot of money and I ended that about two years ago because they weren't saying the right things, and I said why would we pay somebody that's not saying nice things about us and not really wanting to go to the peace table. And they've been much better. And we'll see what happens. But I think we have actually a good shot at peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Go ahead please sir."
