REPORT: Netanyahu no longer supports two-state solution

Well this is interesting:

ARUTZ SHEVA – Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu no longer supports the two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict, a senior Likud minister and ally to the Prime Minister said Monday morning.

Regional Cooperation Minister Tzachi Hanegbi, who formerly served as the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office under Netanyahu, said that neither he nor Netanyahu support the two-state solution and establishment of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River.

“I never backed the two-state solution, [I] only [supported] the Bar Ilan speech,” Hanegbi told Army Radio Monday morning, referencing Netanyahu’s 2009 address at Bar Ilan University, in which the Prime Minister embraced the idea of a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside Israel.

Hanegbi added that Netanyahu himself had dropped his support for Palestinian statehood since the 2009 speech.

“The Prime Minister as well no longer supports the two-state [solution],” said Hanegbi.

Well I hope this is true. Although someone should tell President Trump about this so he can focus on more pertinent issues like repealing Obamacare and lowering taxes.

I remember back when a young Netanyahu would have never gone for a two-state solution in the first place:
