Netanyahu endorses Palestinian independence

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed a Palestinian state beside Israel for the first time, reversing himself under U.S. pressure, but attached conditions — such as having no army — which Palestinians swiftly rejected.

A week after U.S. President Barack Obama's address to the Muslim world, Netanyahu said June 14 the Palestinian state would also have to recognize Israel as a Jewish state — essentially saying Palestinian refugees must give up the goal of returning to Israel.

With those conditions, he said, he could accept "a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside the Jewish state."

Netanyahu refused to heed the U.S. call for an immediate freeze of construction on lands Palestinians claim for their future state. (AP)
