Netanyahu: Palestinians must recognize Israel for an accord

In his comments on talks with the Palestinians Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu reiterated Monday: “An accord is feasibly only if the Palestinians recognize Israel as the Jewish national home, give up their dream of restoring all the refugees and their other demands on Israeli territory, and above all only if Israeli can defend itself by its own means against any threat,” he said. Any accord, he promised, will be brought to national referendum for ratification.
