Netanyahu: Palestinian reconciliation comes ‘at the expense of our existence’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn Ma’ale Adumim, Netanyahu also comments on the recent push for Palestinian unity, which today sees the PA’s prime minister chair a cabinet meeting in Gaza.
“We expect anyone talking about a peace process to recognize Israel and, of course, recognize a Jewish state, and we won’t accept faux reconciliations under which the Palestinian side reconciles at the expense of our existence,” he says.
“We have a very straightforward attitude toward anyone who wants to effect such a reconciliation: Recognize the State of Israel, dismantle Hamas’s military wing, sever the relationship with Iran, which calls for our destruction etc.”
Yesterday, in a speech in Gaza, the Palestinian prime minister said Hamas-Fatah disunity benefited only Israel.
