Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said he will “fiercely reject” international proposals to settle the Israel-Palestine crisis, adding that they have “no true consideration for the security needs of Israelis or other national interests of ours.”
“The way to reach an
agreement [to solve Palestinian-Israeli conflict] is only through
negotiations and we will fiercely reject attempts to impose
international diktats,” Netanyahu said at his Cabinet
meeting, AP reported.

The international proposals “suggested to us, in essence
they’re trying to force upon us, have no true consideration for
the security needs of Israelis or other national interests of
ours,” the Israeli PM said.
“The need to prevent these attacks exists all the time,”
Netanyahu said, apparently referring to the incident when a
Palestinian stabbed Border Police officer in Jerusalem earlier
Sunday. The attacker was then shot by policemen.
Netanyahu’s “fierce” remarks came ahead of the visit of
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius. In May, Fabius said that
France will propose a UN Security Council resolution, suggesting
a framework for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
To be passed, the resolution would need the unilateral approval
of all permanent members of the UN Security Council, including
Israel’s ally US.
Fabius later responded to Netanyahu’s statement, saying that
“this word ‘diktat’ is part of neither French vocabulary nor
the French proposals.”
Fabius who attended a news conference in the West Bank city of
Ramallah, said that Israeli-Palestinian conflict could be
“set ablaze” if there was no improvement in peace talks.
“The aim is to present a number of ideas and I haven’t done
that yet, so let’s not prejudge,” he said.
The occupied territories of the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza
Strip have been seeking full statehood from Israel for decades
now. Palestinians demand full recognition as a sovereign state
from the UN and the international community.
