Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commends the French leader for his stance on Lebanon and Iran.
On peace with the Palestinians, Netanyahu says the leaders don’t yet agree.
“Does this mean that Emmanuel Macron and I agree on everything? Not yet. We’re working on it. It’s a matter of time,” says Netanyahu.
Netanyahu pushes back on the French rejection of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
“Where else is the capital of Israel but Jerusalem?” says Netanyahu, noting its government and courts are located there. “Jerusalem has not been the capital of any other people.”
“The sooner the Palestinians come to the realization the sooner we will have peace,” says Netanyahu.
Noting that a “serious” US effort was underway to resume the peace process, Netanyahu adds: “All I can say is, pardon the expression, give peace a chance.”
