Netanyahu: There Must Be Symmetry in Any Peace Agreement

(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Prime Minister Netanyahu said Tuesday during a visit to Sderot: "We say that the Palestinian people have a right to a national state of its own. And we also say that the Palestinians must recognize the right of the Jewish people to a national state of its own. They need to recognize the Jewish state. The fact that they do not recognize it, that they are trying to avoid such a simple statement, raises doubts." "When the Palestinians refuse to say something so simple, the question is - why? You want to flood the State of Israel with refugees so that it will no longer have a Jewish majority? You want to tear off parts of the Galilee and the Negev into mini-states?...In a peace agreement, there will be the simplest symmetry: Israel recognizes the Palestinian state - and the Palestinians recognize the Jewish state. This is so simple. It is so just, so correct and so urgent. I say to Abu Mazen [Abbas]: Recognize the Jewish state."
