40 years after Sadat visit, PM says he’s ‘not yet met the Palestinian Sadat’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells Knesset members “I have not yet met the Palestinian Sadat, who will declare his desire to end the conflict.”
Speaking at a special Knesset session in honor of 40 years since Egyptian president Anwar Sadat’s visit to Israel in 1977 to launch peace talks, Netanyahu says, “We must always be strong enough to ensure that there is no question about Israel’s permanence.
“Our Palestinian neighbors refuse to recognize Israel’s right to exist,” the prime minister insists.
“I have not yet met the Palestinian Sadat, who will declare his desire to end the conflict, who will recognize the State of Israel in any borders and our right to security and peace,” he adds.
