Netanyahu: Abbas avoids peace talks

Netanyahu blasts Mahmoud Abbas for avoiding peace talks.

“For the last seven years, Abu Mazen deigned to talk to me for just six hours. You can’t make peace that way.”

Israel has simple demands, he says:

“First, you have to make sure the state that is formed ends all demands, and doesn’t seek to flood Israel with the descendants of refugees. Do you agree, Mr. Abbas? He refuses to answer that.

“That’s what we mean by two states for two peoples? Jews go to Israel if they choose and Palestinians to their state if they choose. Can we have that arrangement?

“Second, what happens if it fails? Who ensures security? Austrian peacekeepers? We saw how that worked on the Golan Heights.”
