Netanyahu: Palestinians Must Recognize Jewish State
(Ynet News) Moran Azulay - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday: "The State of Israel has a strategic interest in the existence of political negotiations. Both sides have taken it upon themselves to avoid unilateral steps in the international arena." Netanyahu said a deal with the Palestinians would be signed "only if Israel will be recognized as the nation-state of the Jewish people, and only if the Palestinians give up their dream of the right of return or any other demand on the territory of the Jewish nation. Above all, (an agreement) will be possible if Israel will be able to defend itself in the face of any threat it faces....In any case, any agreement which will be reached will be put to a national referendum."
