Highlights: Netanyahu: "They can be a part, but we must not give them a veto" "We will continue to maintain Israel's security, to settle in all its areas, and to develop it and the entire Middle East," he says. "We are not going to give up on the settlements," he adds. "I am not giving up on Israel," Netanyahu says, "but we are not giving in to the Palestinians" "I'm not giving into the Palestinians," the prime minister adds, "and I will not give in"

The finance minister responded to the prime minister's remarks at the UN • "Together we will bring peace for peace" • As part of normalization, Israel will be required to make certain gestures to the Palestinians

Flattering – and sends a hint of the boundaries of the sector: Finance Minister and Cabinet member Bezalel Smotrich praised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday afternoon for his speech at the UN, and sent a thick hint that he would demand continued development of the settlements.

"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for the impressive representation of the State of Israel at the UN General Assembly. Together we will bring peace for peace, we will continue to maintain Israel's security, to settle in all its areas, and to develop it and the entire Middle East."

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did not mention the term "Palestinian state" this week in an interview with Fox News, but will demand gestures of one kind or another. In the current coalition, it is hard to believe that Netanyahu will be able to implement gestures such as freezing construction, transferring weapons or significant components to the Palestinians besides economic benefits.
