Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says he opposes Palestinian state – video
Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said Israel would need ‘full security control’ over all Palestinian territories after it ends its assault on Gaza, which he said ‘collides with the idea of sovereignty’. Pushing back against growing US pressure to begin working towards a two-state solution, Netanyahu said: ‘I tell this truth to our American friends and I also stopped the attempt to impose a reality on us that would harm Israel’s security.’ He added: ‘The prime minister needs to be capable of saying “no” to our friends.’
