Clarifying How I Stand on Palestinian Sovereignty
(Washington Post) - Benjamin Netanyahu The choice of headline for my June 20 op-ed article, "A Limited Palestinian State," did not accurately reflect my position. As stated in the article, I believe that in a final peace agreement the Palestinians should be given all the powers that are necessary to govern themselves but none of the powers that could threaten Israel. There is, to my knowledge, no accepted term in international law for this type of nonbelligerent sovereignty. Until there is an accepted term, I prefer not to use the word "state," because of the unlimited sovereignty it implies.
