DANIEL ESTRIN:

Clinton tried. Bush tried. Obama tried. They all failed at bringing peace. And so many people I spoke to here, Israelis and Palestinians, said, why should Trump be any different?

I even met a Palestinian woman yesterday who said she read Trump's book "How to Get Rich." She admired Trump's business success, but she said, that doesn't translate into making someone a peacemaker.

So, while there is that cynicism, there are also people on both sides who think that actually Trump perhaps might be the one to seal the deal.
