Two-state solution dead

Hamas's failure to recognize Israel means the end of a two-state solution on this side of the Jordan River, according to MK Benny Elon, who heads the National Union and National Religious Party.

Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman MK Yuval Steinitz (Likud) said he thought it was obvious that a two-state solution was not possible with Hamas at the PA's helm, and that he was surprised at the question.

"Israel doesn't refuse to recognize a Palestinian state. It does refuse to recognize a Palestinian state that does not recognize Israel and that is aimed at destroying it," he said.

In its charter, Hamas claims that "there is no place here for Jews or for any non-Muslim and that it is its holy duty to destroy Israel," said Steinitz. It would use any military or economic means it has to destroy Israel.
