Demilitarizing Palestinians a major issue, PM says

Netanyahu says demilitarizing the West Bank is not a small issue, and defends his security concerns as not excuses but real imperatives. He says negotiations are needed to achieve an agreement with mutual recognition and viable security arrangements.

“What’s going to happen on the other side of the border” if Israel pulls out, he asks? “Another terror state, 20 times the size of the Gaza Strip, touching on our soft belly,” he answers.
