Palestine condemns Israeli opposition to two-state solution

RAMALLAH, Sept 17 (Xinhua): Palestine condemned the current Israeli government's position of rejecting the two-state solution and its attempts to undermine any opportunity to establish a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The Palestinian foreign ministry said in a statement that the position of Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Israeli Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman "is part of the unilateral Israeli measures that aim at liquidating the Palestinian cause."

The statement added that the Israeli officials blame the Palestinian leadership under false pretexts "to hide their ambitions of expanding settlements on the lands of the state of Palestine."

Accusing Bennett of being "an enemy of peace," the statement said, "he (Bennett) represents the stances of the settlers, their councils, and their organizations, which lead to incitement campaigns against the Palestinian people."
