Netanyahu responds to Palestinian Authority-Hamas agreement
27 April 2011
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)
Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu this evening (Wednesday), 27 April
2011,
referred to the anticipated agreement between the
Palestinian
Authority and Hamas:
"The Palestinian Authority needs to choose between peace with Israel and peace with Hamas. Peace with both is impossible because Hamas aspires to destroy the State of Israel and says so openly. It fires missiles at our cities; it fires anti-tank rockets at our children.
I think that the very idea of
this reconciliation shows the weakness of
the Palestinian
Authority and causes one to wonder if Hamas will
seize
control of Judea and Samaria like it seized control
of the Gaza Strip.
I hope that the Palestinian Authority
chooses correctly, i.e. that it
chooses peace with
Israel. The choice is in its
hands."
