[IsraelTimes] PM: I’m proud I blocked a Palestinian state. Looking at Gaza, everyone sees what would have happened.
At the Tel Aviv press conference, Netanyahu is asked by a reporter why he did not withdraw from the Oslo Accords, given that he keeps criticizing them.
"I inherited the Oslo Accords," he says. "The decision to bring the PLO from Tunis, and plant it in the heart of Judea and Samaria [West Bank], and in Gaza, was a decision made and implemented before I became prime minister. I thought it was a terrible mistake and I still do."
Turning on the reporter, he says: "You and your journalist friends have been blaming me for almost 30 years for putting the brakes on the Oslo Accords, and preventing the Palestinian state. That’s true," he says.
Well OK then. |
