President Donald Trump has threatened to withhold aid money from the Palestinians until they return to peace talks with Israel as he sat down with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the sidelines of an economic summit in Switzerland.

Mr Trump’s decision last year to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital angered Arab nations and led the Palestinians to refuse to meet with Vice President Mike Pence during his visit to the Mideast this week. They also declared a new US-led peace push dead, saying Washington can no longer be trusted as an honest broker.
