And here’s four more words: “Not going to happen.”
JERUSALEM (AP/Yahoo! News) — Israel’s prime minister says the Israeli-Palestinian conflict cannot be solved until the Palestinians accept the existence of a Jewish state as the homeland of the Jewish people.
Benjamin Netanyahu told Israel’s third annual Presidential Conference, “It begins with six simple words. I will accept the Jewish state. That’s what will change history.”
The Palestinians have resisted Netanyahu’s repeated call to recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland. Essentially that would require them to accept that most Palestinian refugees from the war surrounding Israel’s 1948 creation would be denied repatriation in Israel.
