Akunis: A Palestinian state would be a 'catastrophe'

Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis (Likud), who met on Wednesday with the head of the Samaria Regional Council, Yossi Dagan, called for the imposition of sovereignty over Judea and Samaria immediately after the elections to the 21st Knesset.

"We must accelerate the pace of construction in Samaria and Judea, first and foremost to ensure our natural right to our land and to prevent the catastrophe, and what I defined in the past as the suicide of the State of Israel, and that would be: The establishment of a Palestinian terror state in this place,” said Akunis.
