Netanyahu: The U.S. Peace Plan Reverses Past Pressure for Israeli Concessions


(Israel Hayom) Amnon Lord - In an interview published Thursday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "All the diplomatic plans proposed to us in the past asked us to concede swathes of the Land of Israel, return to the 1967 lines and divide Jerusalem. To take in [Palestinian] refugees. This [the U.S. peace plan] is a reversal. We aren't the ones being forced to make concessions, rather the Palestinians are." "If they see fit to meet and accept about 10 stringent conditions - including Israeli sovereignty west of the Jordan River, preserving a united Jerusalem, refusing to accept refugees, not uprooting Jewish communities, and Israeli sovereignty in large swathes of Judea and Samaria, etc. - the [diplomatic] process will move ahead....If they consent to all this, then they will have an entity of their own that President Trump defines as a state."
