has stopped short of explicitly committing his administration to a two-state solution to the decades-old conflict \u2013 despite this being a long-standing foundation of US policy \u2013 Steinmeier couldn\u2019t have been clearer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose that know the region know that it has now become really urgent to implement the proposals of the two state solution,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom our point of view, there is no other negotiable solution, therefore now is definitely the time to work on the requirements for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When he hosted Abbas at the White House, Trump vowed to do \u201cwhatever is necessary\u201d to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians but gave no sign of how he could revive long-stalled negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>The maiden foreign trips of US presidents often take on broader symbolic significance and Trump has chosen the Middle East as his first stop, later this
