Ahead of the peace negotiations between Israel and the palestinians, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has articulated his vision of Israel as part of a final resolution.
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu laid out his vision on Monday for the final status of Israeli-Palestinian relations ahead of peace talks due to resume in Washington for the first time in nearly three years.
Netanyahu said that no Arabs could remain in a future Israeli state and that Israel deems illegal all Arab building within the land occupied in the 1967 Middle East war.
The forceful statements appeared to challenge mediator U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s hopes that the terms of the talks, scheduled to begin Monday night over dinner, be kept secret.
“In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Arab on our lands,” Netanyahu said in a briefing to mostly Israeli journalists.
Yeah, that didn’t happen. But this did:
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas laid out his vision on Monday for the final status of Israeli-Palestinian relations ahead of peace talks due to resume in Washington for the first time in nearly three years.
Abbas said that no Israeli settlers or border forces could remain in a future Palestinian state and that Palestinians deem illegal all Jewish settlement building within the land occupied in the 1967 Middle East war.
The forceful statements appeared to challenge mediator U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s hopes that the terms of the talks, scheduled to begin Monday night over dinner, be kept secret.
“In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Israeli – civilian or soldier – on our lands,” Abbas said in a briefing to mostly Egyptian journalists.
So let’s take stock of the situation: we release over 100 terrorists to trigger a peace process with a palestinian negotiator very open about wanting Israel’s destruction and a palestinian leader very open about a Judenrein palestinian state.
And again, the world does not blink an eyelid.
Got it?
