The Palestinian Authority's official spokesman, Nabil Abu Rodaina, responded Friday to President Shimon Peres' decision to charge Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu with the task of forming the next government.
"We will work with any government in Israel as long as it sticks to the two-state solution, previous agreements, the halting of settlement construction, and international law," Abu Rodaina said from Bahrain, where he is accompanying Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on an official visit.
Earlier Friday Netanyahu gave an official acceptance speech in which he named the issues he would have to face as prime minister.
"Iran is developing nuclear weapons and poses the greatest threat to our existence since the War of Independence. Iran's terror wings surround us from the north and south," he said.
The Likud leader called on members of all factions, "those who recommended and those who didn't," to put all the disagreements aside and focus on the good of the state.
