Rubio backs Netanyahu, says conditions for 2-state solution 'do not exist today'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received Wednesday the backing of Florida Senator Marco Rubio in his present feud with the White house over his refusal to pursue the two-state solution.
During a Q&A session following a speech to the Council On Foreign Relations in New York, the Republican presidential candidate was asked by TV host Charlie Rose whether he would continue to support a 2-state solution if elected president.
“I don’t think the conditions exist for that today,” he responded. “The conditions for a two-state solution, at this moment, do not exist.” When pushed whether the U.S should stop pressing Israel to resume negotiations with the Palestinians based on the 2-state solution, Rubio stated, “That’s the ideal outcome, but as the conditions currently exits, [the answer is] no!”
He went on to list the reasons why the conditions don’t exist, citing the lack of unity among the Palestinian people, mismanagement of government, the ongoing incitement against Israel, and the rejection of two very generous Israeli offers for a final settlement. “The conditions simply don’t exist,” he asserted. “I think the most we can hope for in the short term is that the Palestinians Authority will be able to provide a level of stability in that territory. And ultimately, the conditions will rise up with new leadership that will allow something like that to happen.”
