“The Saudis can create a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Channel 14. ”They have a lot of land over there.”
As a very fragile truce entered its second phase, involving the release of all prisoners, the possibility of a final peace, with the proposed creation of a Palestinian state, would also be on the negotiating table. But Netanyahu does not seem to be willing.
The Israeli president is unwilling to sign “an agreement that would endanger Israel.”
Netanyahu stated, “Before Oct. 7 there was already a Palestinian state in Gaza and look what we got: the biggest massacre since the Shoah,” reviving Donald Trump’s proposal in recent days to distribute the two million Palestinians between Egypt and Jordan. Representatives of both countries have strongly opposed it.
Speaking about his plan,which even he has referred to as a “real estate transaction” between the United States and Israel, President Donald Trump said he was “in no hurry.” At the end of a press conference at the White House, he reiterated that his plan to empty the Strip of all its inhabitants and turn it into the “Riviera of the Middle East” would bring stability to the area and that “others may invest in it in the future.”
