The Fatah party’s refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state shows who they truly are and demonstrates that Israel has no partner for peace, said MK Daniel Hershkowitz (Jewish Home) at Sunday’s cabinet meeting. He said that Palestinian Authority recognition of Israel is a fundamental Israeli condition going forward in peace negotiations.
“The Prime Minister said in his Bar-Ilan speech that a fundamental condition to progress in negotiations is the recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, and the Palestinians demonstrate how we have no one to negotiate with,” said Hershkowitz.
