Netanyahu: No Accord without Palestinians Recognizing Jewish Israel
(Times of Israel) Gavriel Fiske - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Knesset on Monday that there could be no peace agreement with the Palestinians until they recognize Israel as the sovereign state of the Jewish people. Netanyahu said Israel did not need that recognition from the Palestinians. Rather, he said, the Palestinians had to come to terms with Israel's Jewish legitimacy. "What's so difficult about recognizing this basic historic fact [that Israel is the Jewish state]?" he asked.
