    US President Donald Trump's appointment of former hardline diplomat John Bolton as national security adviser introduces a well-known figure to push for pre-emptive attacks against emerging nuclear states, as well as doubts about a Palestinian state, to the administration's inner circle.
    On Thursday, Trump announced via Twitter that his national security adviser, HR McMaster, had replaced former US ambassador to the United Nations, hardline John Bolton.
    McMaster was expected to leave later in the year, but was shocked by Bolton's woes in Washington.
     
    Bolton, who supported the Iraq war, has also called for pre-emptive attacks on Korea and the war with Iran.
     
    With the White House ready to unveil its Middle East peace plan in the near future, Bolton's appointment, which declared the two-state solution was over, could reduce the chances of the US administration reviving negotiations.
     
    While McMaster was not a central player in the Palestinian-Israeli issue during his tenure, former national security advisers played a major role in the past. During Obama's term, Susan Rice and Tom Donilon took the post and spent a lot of time trying to reach an agreement.
     
    Pelton is fiercely defending Israel. After allowing former President Barack Obama to pass the UN Security Council resolution condemning the settlements in December 2016, Bolton said Obama "stabbed Israel from the front" and that the move "clearly aims to bias the peace process in favor of the Palestinians."
     
    He also criticized the speech by Obama's foreign minister, John Kerry, in which he laid out the principles of the Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement and warned that the future of the two-state solution is fading as Israel continues to escalate settlements in the West Bank.
     
    "In fact, the two-state solution is over," Bolton told Radio Braypatt. "This is the only thing John Kerry has come close to."
     
    In a 2004 opinion piece in the Washington Times titled 'Three-State Neighborhood' for Middle East Peace, "Bolton claimed that Gaza should be returned to Egypt and the West Bank to Jordan.
     
    "The only logic to demand a Palestinian state is the political necessity to weaken Israel's enemies to the Jewish state and to subjugate it, thereby reducing the possibility of creating secure and defensible borders," he wrote. "As long as Washington's diplomatic goal is 'a two-state solution' - Israel and 'Palestine' - the fundamental contradiction between this ambition and reality will ensure that this is not achieved."
     
    Bolton, a regular Fox News commentator, is known for his aggressive positions on security issues. He called for the use of force against Iran, in addition to launching pre-emptive attacks against North Korea. He was also a prominent figure within George Bush's administration in favor of the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
     
    Bolton, a member of the conservative American Enterprise Institute since he left the Bush administration, has called for Israel to bomb Iran to halt its nuclear ambitions.
     
    "The time is very short, but the bombing can still work," he wrote in an op-ed in The New York Times in May 2015. "This must be done with strong US support for the Iranian opposition, with the aim of regime change in Tehran."
     
    The announcement comes 10 days after US Secretary of State Rex Tilerson was sacked, replacing current CIA director Mike Pompeo.
     
    Bolton and Pompeo will now hold positions in the US foreign policy industry less than a month before May 12, which Trump has threatened would cancel Iran's nuclear deal if Congress and the Europeans do not change the deal.
     
    Both Tillerson and McMaster were moderate voices within the White House, both reportedly calling on the president to avoid canceling the historic deal.
     
    Earlier this year, Bolton said, "Our goal should be regime change in Iran."
     
    There have been rumors of Bolton's replacement of Macastar for months. The position of national security adviser, unlike that of the secretary of state, does not require confirmation by the Senate.
     
     
    Left-leaning organizations immediately criticized the move on Thursday and warned of Bolton's tendencies toward armed confrontations.
     
    "This resolution perpetuates the crisis over President Trump's Council, a dangerous step for US foreign policy and a reduction in our ability to lead more," said the Foreign Policy Group of former diplomats from the Obama administration. "Ambassador Bolton represents the worst aspect of US foreign policy adventure. "This choice refers to the rest of the world. President Trump does not care about diplomacy and appreciates politicians who agree with him and prefer military intervention to national security experience."
     
    In contrast, the Jewish right praised the choice of Trump for Bolton.
     
    "John Bolton is very knowledgeable and will be a great national security adviser," Congressman Lee Zeldin, a Republican from New York, said in a statement. Finished
