Netanyahu says 'there is no room for two states'
Netanyahu says 'there is no room for two states' Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ruled out the possibility of a Palestinian state if he returns to power in the upcoming elections in Israel. “Another principle of the government, of the broad national government that I intend to lead, is that there is no room for two states. Between the sea and the Jordan River, there is no room for two states,” he told reporters. “Now, you ask me, three years ago, before the war, the public was divided on this issue. Although I believe that most of the public was opposed, a significant portion supported it. I think that has changed. This is now a basis for agreement.” Earlier, he described the framework agreement with Lebanon as a historic accomplishment and a massive blow to Iran and Hezbollah. Netanyahu said the understandings reached with Lebanon and the US recognise Israel's right to maintain a security zone inside southern Lebanon for as long as it considers necessary.

Analyst warns Netanyahu’s US visit is aimed at shoring up political leverage
Political Analyst Joe Siracusa commented on the complex dynamics between US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, suggesting that both leaders “use each other as much as they can”. “When President Trump says that he has control over the relationship, he really doesn't,” Mr Siracusa told Sky News Australia. “I think President Trump would've liked Netanyahu to stay home … they could've handled this over the phone, but if Netanyahu is coming in person, that means he wants to shore up his base.”
