Benjamin Netanyahu takes aim at the PA, saying that the Palestinians were not willing to accept any Jewish state.
“The Palestinians rejected Jewish state throughout history. Jews accepted partition, they rejected,” the PM continues. “They deigned to negotiate with me for six hours in seven years… They refuse to negotiate what they claim they want. The core of the conflict is rejection of the nation state of the Jewish people within any borders.”
He also slams the UN, calling it biased against Israel and willing to turn a blind eye to Iranian infractions.
“The infamous Zionism is racism resolution was repealed,” the PM tells foreign reporters at a New Year’s party in Jerusalem, “but bias in the UN lives on.”
“There have been 20 resolutions against Israel for every one against Iran,” he says.
