Hotovely (Likud) said on Tuesday that she welcomed Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations General
Assembly .
Speaking to Arutz Sheva ,
Hotovely said Netanyahu’s speech sent a loud and clear message that the
so-called “two-state solution” is dead.
"The speech yesterday was the
way to tell the world that the two-state solution had died. Netanyahu told the
world that Abbas and Hamas are the same, they want to destroy Israel," she
said.
In the speech, explained Hotovely, the
Prime Minister suggested that the world start thinking outside the box.
"He spoke about the Middle
East, about Cairo and Saudi Arabia and in essence hinted at other solutions
rather than dividing the country. He alluded to the concepts of confederation.
It was an important speech,” she said.
"In principle, there was an
official announcement [in the speech] that the two-state solution is impossible
and that a Palestinian state will not be established. What solutions will come
later requires serious discussions,” added Hotovely.
"As far as I’m concerned, the
Jewish people are the exclusive sovereign, including in Shechem( Naples) and Hevron. We know that in Ramallah and
Shechem we have lost our effectiveness since the Oslo Accords. It is clear they
will not become our supporters and therefore we need to think what to do with
the population, how to let them become part of us without it affecting the demography
and the Jewish majority,” said Hotovely, adding, "The new solutions
require serious discussions. For starters, Israel must annex Judea and Samaria(
The West Bank ), as this sends a message
to the world and to the Palestinians that we are here to stay.”
Nationalist MKs welcomed Netanyahu’s speech on Monday, saying
among other things that it was a fitting response to “the lies and slanders of
[Palestinian Authority Chairman] Mahmoud Abbas,” and that Netanyahu had “held
up a mirror in front of the western world and emphasized the immediate dangers
that Iran, Hamas and ISIS place before it.”
Leftist MKs, however, were not on board with the speech, saying
Netanyahu “missed the mark”.
