Palestinian official hopes next Israeli government will focus on peace
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA senior Palestinian official says he hopes the next Israeli government “will focus on how to make peace.”
In the closing days of his campaign, Netanyahu had vowed to annex large parts of the West Bank, which Israel seized in the 1967 war and which the Palestinians consider the heartland of their future state.
Saeb Erakat says Israel “cannot have peace or security without ending the occupation, without two states, the state of Palestine to live side by side with the state of Israel in peace and security on the 1967 lines.”
The Trump administration is set to release its Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, but the Palestinians have rejected the proposal outright.
