Netanyahu: European Recognition of Palestinian State a "Big Mistake"
(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told visiting Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka on Tuesday: "These twin needs of mutual recognition and solid security arrangements on the ground, which are so essential for peace, these are not addressed by the European countries that unilaterally give recognition to a Palestinian state. I think it's a big mistake for peace....These European positions actually push peace away, and I believe that they make reaching a solution much harder." "I appreciated the fact that you said you believe what is needed is a negotiated arrangement and not unilateral actions."
