Netanyahu: Israel will not be a binational state
  • 8 years ago
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated on Sunday that "Israel will not be a binational state," following a warning from US Secretary of State John Kerry that this would be the alternative to a peace accord.
Speaking at the Brooking Institute's Saban Forum on Saturday night, Kerry warned Israel about the dangers of the possible collapse of the Palestinian Authority, saying it would lead to a situation that would threaten the security of Israel and the Palestinian people.
If the Palestinian Authority were to disintegrate, Kerry said, Israel would be forced to assume all governance in the West Bank and potentially accept a one-state solution that would compromise Israel's future as a democratic, Jewish state.
