Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett prays at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on January 21, 2013Senior minister compares conflict to ‘shrapnel in the rear end,’ says entire Land of Israel ‘belongs to the Jewish people’ (We Agree!)
The idea of a Palestinian state has run its course and Israel must seek another solution to the conflict with the Palestinians, Economics Minister Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home) said Monday, joining a growing number of coalition members who have recently expressed firm opposition to the two-state solution.
“The idea of forming a Palestinian state in Israel has reached a dead end,” Bennett said at a meeting of the Yesha Council, the umbrella organization of Jewish communities in the West Bank. Never in the history of the Jewish people has so much energy been invested in “something so pointless,” and “we should put the idea behind us,” he added.
“The biggest problem is that the leaders of Israel are not prepared to say clearly that the Land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people,” Bennett said.
“There is a shift from seeking a solution to the problem to finding a situation that we can live with,” he said, adding that “the way to deal with the Palestinian problem is to establish separate rule for [West Bank] Palestinians, Israeli sovereignty over Area C and a broad improvement in economic conditions for Judea and Samaria for Jews and Palestinians alike.”
Judea and Samaria are the Biblical terms for the area known internationally as the West Bank.
Said Bennett, “Those who dare to say that the occupation corrupts [Israel] and fret over the occupation all day long — occupation, occupation. What occupation? Can one be an occupier in one’s own home? This is our home.”
