Feb. 1 (EUROPA PRESS) –
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered talks with the Palestinians on Tuesday “once the Arab-Israeli conflict ends.”
“When the Arab-Israeli conflict does (come) to an end, I believe that we will return to the Palestinians and achieve a viable peace with them,” he said in an interview with .
“I am certainly ready for them to have all the powers they need to govern themselves. But none of the powers that could threaten us,” the prime minister said.
Thus, by way of confirmation, he cited the ‘Abraham Agreements’, which allowed the normalization of relations between Israel and various Arab countries, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.
“I went directly to the Arab states and forged a new concept of peace. I formed four historic peace agreements, the Abraham Accords, which is twice as many peace agreements as all my predecessors in 70 years,” said the ‘premier’ Israeli.
The agreements were signed in 2020 with the mediation of the US Administration of Donald Trump and since then the Israeli authorities have assured that there are several countries in the region that are considering joining them, amid criticism from the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian factions.
Netanyahu’s statements come a month after his return to power, in the midst of an escalation of tensions in recent days, since last week there were attacks against Israelis in Jerusalem, after the Israeli Army killed a dozen Palestinians in a raid on the West Bank city of Jenin, including at least one civilian woman.
