’Israeli’ Minister: Oslo Era Over

Local Editor

As the nine-months of the current US-led round of negotiations between the Zionist entity and the Palestinian Authority ended Tuesday, officials from both parties cast the blame on the other.

"Israeli" Economy Minister Naftali Bennett joined the chorus, saying that the "Oslo era is over."

Bennett was referring to the twenty years of negotiations between the "Israelis" and Palestinian Authority which began with the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993.

Bennett expressed deep pessimism regarding the talks: "We are entering a more realistic period. There is no perfect solution and the pursuit of perfection brings us to disaster. We need to learn to live with the situation and not sink into depression.

"On the other hand, I think we must extend "Israeli" law to the "Israeli" territories in "Judea and Samaria" [West Bank]. And we must offer "Israeli" citizenship to the 70,000 Palestinian residents of these territories."

Bennett was asked about US Secretary of State John Kerry's Monday comments, in which the American diplomat said ending the talks could lead "Israel" down the road to apartheid. He answered: "I am glad he apologized for the statements."

US Secretary of State John Kerry had said Monday that he had chosen the wrong word when describing "Israel's" potential future as an "apartheid state" if it didn't reach a so-called ‘peace' deal with the Palestinians.

Earlier in the day, Saeb Erekat, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' chief delegate to the negotiations with "Israel" also addressed the end of the agreed-upon timeframe, saying, "We believe that the international community must clarify to "Israel" that it's choice of settlements and apartheid over ‘peace' will have political, legal, and financial ramifications."
