Netanyahu: No to Palestinian State, Yes To Settlements
Local Editor
"Israeli" Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, stated Sunday that he completely rejects the idea of establishing a Palestinian state, and spoke of a "sort of autonomy for the Palestinians". He also said that "Israel" will continue to build settlements in the occupied West Bank, and in occupied East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
"I do not want the Palestinians to become "Israeli" citizens", Netanyahu said, "I don't want to control them either".
In a Televised interview with the Walla "Israeli" News, Netanyahu said that "Israel" will have to reach a sort of an understanding "granting the Palestinians some sort of a disarmed authority".
As for "Israel's" illegal settlement construction and expansion activities, Netanyahu said that a government under his command will never evict any settlement.
"I never removed a single settlement, and I don't intend to remove any", he added, "We removed the settlers from Gaza, and look what happened; I will never do such a thing".
The "Israeli" Prime Minister further stated that "Israel" will not evict settlements under any peace agreement with the Palestinians, and added that the settlement blocs of Gush Ezion, Ariel and Maale Adumim will always be part of "Israel".
He also said that his government does not only build within the boundaries of the existing settlements in the West Bank and occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem), but wherever it can.
As for smaller settlements not located within settlement blocs, Netanyahu said that this issue will be determined in negotiations, but also said that he will never evict any settlement as long as he is leading "Israel".
