Netanyahu: Israel Must Have Presence on Eastern Side of Palestinian State to Block Rockets
(AP/Washington Post) Steven Gutkin - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday in Jerusalem that Israel must have a presence in the West Bank to stop rockets from being imported even after a peace agreement is achieved. He said the experience of rocket attacks from the Lebanese and Gaza borders means Israel must be able to prevent such weapons from being brought into any future Palestinian state in the West Bank. "In the case of a future settlement with the Palestinians, this will require an Israeli presence on the eastern side of a prospective Palestinian state," he said.
