Benjamin Netanyahu’s ousting as prime minister closes the chapter on one of the “worst periods” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh says.
“The departure of the Israeli prime minister after 12 years in power marks the end of one of the worst periods in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” Shtayyeh says ahead of the Palestinian Authority’s weekly cabinet meeting.
But Shtayyeh also says he is under no illusions about the new government or its likelihood of advancing a peace agreement with the Palestinians.
“We do not see this new government as any less bad than the previous one, and we condemn the announcements of the new Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in support of Israeli settlements,” the Palestinian premier says.
“The new government has no future if it does not take into consideration the future of the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights,” Shtayyeh adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
