Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli of the Likud party rejects a reported US plan to recognize a Palestinian state and says Israel needs to “threaten” the Americans with unilateral steps.

“If this is the American vision, we need to resist it and threaten them with our own unilateral steps like canceling the Oslo Accords,” Chikli tells Army Radio, referring to the agreements negotiated in the 1990s that led to the creation of the Palestinian Authority.
