Netanyahu: Israeli Presence Necessary in Jordan Valley
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Israel will only sign an agreement with the Palestinians if it includes an Israeli security presence in the Jordan Valley, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday. "We are acting responsibly and prudently and are seeing to the security of the State of Israel. This requires Israel to remain in the Jordan Valley." Netanyahu has said consistently that any agreement would necessitate an Israeli military presence along the Jordan River, and he has emphasized that point repeatedly since the revolutions in the Arab world began last year, saying the regional uncertainty makes such a security presence even more necessary.
