Netanyahu: The Palestinians Ran Away from Negotiations
(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told visiting Czech Foreign Minister Lubomir Zaoralek on Monday: "We want two states for two peoples: a Jewish nation state - Israel - living in peace with a demilitarized Palestinian state. Unfortunately, the Palestinians don't negotiate. They ran away from negotiations. They ran away from Barak; they ran away from Sharon; they ran away from Olmert; they ran away from me....They refuse to negotiate and then try to get boycotts on Israel for there not being negotiations which they refuse to enter." "We have to get back to direct negotiations without preconditions. I think it's important that the international community stop giving the Palestinians a free pass."
