Israeli Foreign Minister: Accepting a Palestinian State Would Be an "Act of Suicide"
(Jerusalem Post) Keshet Neev - Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar told the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations on Tuesday that imposing a Palestinian state on Israel would be an "act of suicide." "We saw what happens when a terror state is allowed to arise next to our communities," Sa'ar said. "If there is a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria, all of our population centers will live under threat. West of the Jordan, there can be no foreign sovereignty or any foreign army." Sa'ar also said that Israel was now in a strategically better position than it was two years ago, noting that "the Iranian axis that militarily surrounded Israel has been greatly weakened. What was once a military siege is now turning into an attempt at a political siege of the State of Israel, with a clear goal: to force a Palestinian state upon us."
