Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA senior Palestinian official says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pledge to annex the Jordan Valley if re-elected destroys all chances for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
“He is not only destroying the two-state solution, he is destroying all chances of peace,” senior official Hanan Ashrawi tells AFP. “This is a total game changer.”
In a tweet, Ashrawi adds: “Netanyahu’s cheap pandering to his extremist racist base exposes his real political agenda of superimposing ‘greater Israel’ on all of historical Palestine & carrying out an ethnic cleansing agenda. All bets are off! Dangerous aggression. Perpetual conflict.”
