Naftali Bennett: A Palestinian State Will Never Be Formed.
Naftali Bennett: A Palestinian state will never be formed. Jerusalem Post, May 8, 2013.
Economics and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett said on Tuesday that a Palestinian state will never be formed, because Israel will never allow for the division of Jerusalem.
“Some
say they are against the division of Jerusalem but they are in favor of a
Palestinian state. And I ask, where exactly would the Palestinian capital be?
In Jericho? In Bethlehem? In Berlin?” he said.
Speaking
at a Jerusalem Day event at the capital, Bennett repeated previous statements
saying “a nation cannot be an occupier in its own capital city. We are not
occupying Jerusalem, it is ours.”
“Neither
I nor anyone else has the right to divide [Jerusalem],” he concluded.
