Palestinians blame Israel for deadlock in peace talks

Calling the status quo in the occupied Palestinian territory unsustainable, he also said that Israel must assume its full responsibility as an occupying power under worldwide law.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday demanded that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his government explicitly condemn the murder of an Israeli settler couple by suspected Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank.

“Iran’s ruler promised to destroy my country, murder my people”.

Abbas aide also slammed Netanyahu when he spoke about what happens in Jerusalem, adding “instead of carrying actions to stop what happens in Jerusalem, he (Netanyahu) insisted that he won’t change his policy”.

For his prop this year-the Israeli leader’s bomb diagram from 2012 is well-known-Netanyahu chose to use a copy of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s recently published book that calls for Israel’s destruction.

Speaking on the lifting of sanctions against Iran, Netanyahu asked, “does anyone seriously believe that flooding a radical theocracy with weapons and cash will curb its appetite for aggression?”

He said, You think Iran is doing that to advance peace?

Netanyahu once again condemned the deal, saying that it gives Iran more access to nuclear weapons, not less.

Netanyahu’s tough remarks came a day after he appeared at the United Nations General Assembly and said he would enter peace talks with no preconditions, an offer he has made before.

Because I remain committed to a vision of two states for two peoples, in which a demilitarized Palestinian state recognizes the Jewish State, he said.

He said a common threat from Iran and radical forces was bringing Israel and its Arab peace partners and others in the region closer together.

Later, the prime minister criticized the United Nations response and “the response from almost every one of the governments represented here” specifically because it “has been absolutely nothing”.

“But we owe it to our peoples to try”.

Next, he said nothing, staring forcefully and silently at the crowd of world leaders for almost a minute. The Iran deal posed a grave danger to world peace, he said, before accusing the United Nations of exhibiting “utter silence, deafening silence” in the face of threats to Israel over the decades.
