Netanyahu Tells Biden Opposed To Palestinian Sovereignty In Gaza

[David__77]

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday he told US President Joe Biden that he rejected Palestinian sovereignty in the Gaza Strip, in a call the day before.

The two leaders spoke by phone on Friday for the first time in nearly a month, with Biden saying following the call that he believed it was still possible Netanyahu could agree to some form of Palestinian state.

"In his conversation with President Biden, Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated his policy that after Hamas is destroyed Israel must retain security control over Gaza to ensure that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel, a requirement that contradicts the demand for Palestinian sovereignty," Netanyahu's office said in a statement issued on Saturday.

"There are a number of types of two-state solutions. There's a number of countries that are members of the UN that... don't have their own militaries," Biden told reporters after an event at the White House.

1. Then the U.S. should abandon Netanyahu. And the Likud.

And it’s long past time for us to do exactly that.

2. It would be insanity for any Israeli leader to sign off on creating a state whose primary purpose is to stage attacks

on Israel. And there’s absolutely no reason to believe Palestinian “sovereignty” over Gaza be anything else.

3. The maintenance of millions as subjects and not citizens is not sustainable.

4. Then we need more Palestinians to start acting like citizens instead of terrorists.

5. Freedom from subjugation should be unconditional.

Lack of sovereignty is not sustainable, any more than it was in South Africa.
