Trump says Israel being treated 'unfairly'
President-elect Donald Trump says Israel is being treated "very, very unfairly," maintaining that countries that are "horrible places" never get reprimanded.
Trump talked to reporters Wednesday in what became his longest question-and-answer session since the election.
He refused to directly answer a question about whether Israel should stop building settlements, saying he is "very, very strong on Israel."
Trump says Israel is "up for 20 reprimands" at the United Nations, whereas nations that are "horrible places, that treat people horribly, haven't even been reprimanded."
Trump tweeted earlier Wednesday that Israel should "stay strong," saying Jan. 20, inauguration day, "is fast approaching!"
