Israel will not become a bi-national state, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared at Sunday's cabinet meeting, in a response to US Secretary of State John Kerry who in a speech on Saturday said the trend lines were leading in that direction

I want to make clear, Israel will not be a bi-national state, but in order for there to be peace, the other side also has to decide it wants peace. Unfortunately that is not what we see,” he said.

Instead, Netanyahu said, the PA continues to incite against Israel, something he said “has to stop.”

Netanyahu slammed the PA's chief negotiator Saeb Erekat for making a condolence call Saturday to the family of Mazen Aribah, a PA intelligence officer who was shot by the IDF after he shot and wounded two Israelis north of Jerusalem on Thursday.

Netanyahu said that when Erekat not only does not condemn the terrorist acts, but rather pays a condolence call on the family of a terrorist, he “gives backing and encouragement to acts of terror.” Netanyahu did not mention Erekat by name, only using his title as chief negotiator.
