Palestinians must recognize Israel as Jewish: PM
" It has non-Jews who live here with full, equal rights, but it has two things that assure its special character. It's the homeland of any Jew. And there is a very broad consensus in Israel that the Palestinian refugee problem should be resolved outside Israel's borders "
Israeli PM
[Al Arabiya Latest] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday Palestinians need to recognize Israel as a Jewish state in order to resolve their conflict as Hamas accused Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of seizing power after he called presidential and legislative elections for January.

Netanyahu told the Washington Post that "Israel is not a binational state."

"It has non-Jews who live here with full, equal rights, but it has two things that assure its special character. It's the homeland of any Jew. And there is a very broad consensus in Israel that the Palestinian refugee problem should be resolved outside Israel's borders."

Netanyahu said Palestinians will have to make a final peace deal with "the Jewish state of Israel."
