(ynetnews.com) Becky Norton Dunlop, a senior official in President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team, said during a tour of the West Bank this week that “anyone who comes and visits Judea and Samaria sees that it is an inseparable part of the State of Israel.”

Dunlop, who also visited the area last year, said that she was delighted to return once again.

“As an American citizen, I empathize with the Israeli people who want to settle on their entire state, to expand their communities and their homes, and they should have safe places to raise their children,” she declared.

Dunlop went on to praise the fact that Arabs and Jews live in peace as neighbors in Israel. “During the visit we saw that Arabs living in Israel are completely able to work together with their Israeli neighbors,” she said.

“The international community has to take note of what is really happening here instead of listening to the mainstream media, which doesn’t report the news but rather invents things. They need to focus on what is really happening here in Judea and Samaria.”

It is unclear precisely what Trump’s Israel policies will be. However, he repeatedly pledged during his election campaign to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem—a promise that Israeli officials have urged him to follow up on.
