Chairman Avi Gabbay of the Zionist Union said, Tuesday, "I believe in a two-state solution in which the State of Israel will be solely responsible for its security, and the Palestinians will always remain weak. We have proved that it is possible to conquer the West Bank if necessary."

Gabbay was interviewed by Israeli public radio about his meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan yesterday, in which, Gabbay said, "The issue of peace was central."
