RT 23 SAept 2022:
Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s planned speech to the UN General Assembly on Thursday, which includes references to a two-state system between Israel and Palestine as a potential future prospect, has been slammed by fellow Israeli politicians.
“There’s no place or reason to bring up the idea of a Palestinian state," Alternate Prime Minister Naftali Bennett wrote on Facebook. “There’s no place for another country between the Mediterranean and the Jordan river, and no need to work for Palestinian statehood. Empty words such as ‘two-states’ should be left in the 1990s, along with other things long passed,” he said.
Among others Lapid’s critics notably included Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked, Bezalel Smotrich, head of the Religious Zionism party as well as the opposition Likud party.
