Netanyahu protege says Palestinian state has been proved unrealistic

 

 
Knesset Member Ophir Akunis, known to be a direct protege of soon-to-be-premier Binyamin Netanyahu, said today that "The idea of two states for two peoples is no longer realistic. It has been proved that every place which Israel retreats from becomes a base for terrorism, just as occurred after the Disengagement."

Akunis said that in his opinion, "In order to reach a true peace, we will need to think of creative solutions by which the Palestinian Authority will be independent without damaging Israel's security needs."
