If you take Netanyahu for his word, It doesn’t appear he accepts Palestine’s right to exist. This from Haaretz.com “ANALYSIS / Why isn’t Netanyahu backing two-state solution?”

“Netanyahu seeks to deny the Palestinians four rights of any sovereign state: control of its airspace; control of its electromagnetic spectrum; the right to maintain an army and to sign military alliances; and, most importantly, control of the border crossings where arms and terrorists could pass. Netanyahu believes Israel must retain all of these. Netanyahu’s model is based on the work of Stanford University political science professor Stephen Krasner, who was director of policy planning in the State Department under Condoleezza Rice. Krasner developed a “restricted sovereignty” model for problematic state structures.”

Do I have to say, if an Arab refuses to concede Israel’s “right to exist” the U.S. government considers them an irrelevant radical promoting terrorism against a sovereign state.

UPDATE: “pursuit of a peace agreement that includes a Palestinian state seems inescapable.”
