Meridor Slams PA Plan for UN Recognition
(Times of Israel) Raphael Ahren - Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor on Monday slammed the PA's plan to ask the UN General Assembly to recognize a Palestinian state, saying that a genuine solution to the conflict can only derive from a mutually agreed upon final-status agreement. "A statement at the UN might give them some advantage in the world's public opinion, but this is it. Nothing will change on the ground." Meridor said a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict needs to be sought within a peace deal that would establish final borders and end all Palestinian claims against Israel. "There is no way we'll take our army out of Judea and Samaria [the West Bank] without an agreement," Meridor said. "We did it once in Gaza, we saw the results."
