Donald Trumpin uusi puolustusministeri James Mattis arvosteli kolme vuotta sitten Israelin miehityspolitiikkaa Länsirannalla ja vertaisi sitä Etelä-Afrikan apartheid-politiikkaan.
"I’ll tell you, the current situation is unsustainable ... We’ve got to find a way to make work the two-state solution that both Democrat and Republican administrations have supported, and the chances are starting to ebb because of the settlements. For example, if I’m Jerusalem and I put 500 Jewish settlers to the east and there’s ten thousand Arabs already there, and if we draw the border to include them, either [Israel] ceases to be a Jewish state or you say the Arabs don’t get to vote — apartheid. That didn’t work too well the last time I saw that practiced in a country."

Asiaa!
Mattis lausui näkemyksen joka Usassa on yleensä kuultu vain radikaaleilta vasemmistolaisilta sekä suurimmalta osalta maailman muslimeista.
