Netanyahu: Palestinians Want Their State to Replace Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - In an interview in Washington on Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the Palestinian issue. "I want a solution when they have all the powers they need to govern themselves, but none of the powers that would threaten us," and that the overriding security responsibility west of the Jordan River must remain in Israel's hands. He said that most Israelis would agree to two states "if they thought that the Palestinians wanted a state next to Israel. But they're convinced more and more that they want a state instead of Israel. And that's not a real peace. People would go for a real peace, not a fake one."
