PM: Israel to reject talks if Hamas joins Palestinian government
None
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that if Hamas joins the Palestinian government, Israel will not enter into negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.
"I will not allow a Palestinian state to turn into what happened to Gaza and Lebanon. The Palestinians will have to recognize the State of Israel as the national state of the Jewish people. This precondition is non-negotiable," said Netanyahu. (Attila Somfalvi)
