Prime Minister Yair Lapid this evening (Thursday) expressed support for the idea of establishing a Palestinian state alongside Israel, but qualified his words and demanded that it not threaten the security of the residents of Israel.
"An agreement with the Palestinians, which is based on two states for two peoples, is the right thing for Israel's security, for the Israeli economy and for the future of our children," Lapid said at the UN Assembly.
"Despite all the obstacles, even today a large majority of Israelis support the vision of the two-state solution, I am one from them.
We have only one condition - that the future Palestinian state be peace-loving," continued the Prime Minister. "That it not become another terrorist base from which Israel's safety and existence are threatened.
May we have the ability to protect the security of the citizens of Israel, at any moment."
Supports the establishment of a Palestinian state.
