Struggle against Palestinian state is PM’s ‘biography’ — Likud

The Likud party tells the “Olam Katan” newsletter that the policies expressed in Netanyahu’s speech at Bar-Ilan University in 2009, in which he called for a Palestinian state, “have been annulled.

“Netanyahu’s entire political biography is the struggle against the establishment of the Palestinian state,” the party says, according to the newsletter, which is distributed in synagogues on the weekend.

Meretz party leader Zahava Gal-on decries the statement, posting on Facebook: “So here, for those who doubted, this is the truth about our prime minister. This is what he really thinks about the two-state solution, this is what the draft proposal revealed this week is worth… this is what can be achieved by a Likud coalition: lies, procrastination, biding time, and more lies.”

Gal-on slams the “two-faced prime minister who is bringing upon us a binational state with his bare hands.”

The right-wing newsletter sent a list of questions to all parties, with the exception of Meretz and the Joint Arab List. Shas and the Zionist Union chose not to respond, and Yesh Atid prepared answers, but did not send them in before the newsletter went to print, because Lapid did not have time to go over the answers, it says.
