Netanyahu says most Israelis want separation from Palestinians
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNetanyahu says he believes that most Israelis would prefer to be separated from the Palestinians.
“I want the Palestinians to have all of the power to govern themselves, but not the power to threaten us,” he says at the Economic Club in Washington.
“Israel must have the overriding security responsibility for the area west of the Jordan River. Does that comport with full sovereignty? I don’t know, but that’s what we need to live,” he says.
Netanyahu adds that Israelis would support a peace agreement with the Palestinians “if they thought it would get them peace.”
